1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: I do look at the roster and what we have

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: in the coaching staff. We should win games we had

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: performed though. We're gonna hold ourselves to the high standard

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, and I'm defense gonna do what

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: they do and last time I heard they can't win

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,000

19
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: I know you're excited. Oh way we go with four

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: downs first down, well, first down, two games down, one

21
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: to go in the preseason. But going back to Sunday's game,

22
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, who do you

23
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: think stood out to you, buddy? It's really simple, easy answer.

24
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: You'll be interviewing him later. Joshua Dobbs. He has bawled

25
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: out two weeks in a row, Kidneth. I love the

26
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: fact that he's showing great command of the office. He's

27
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: showing the ability to make something out of nothing. He's

28
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: showing the ability to elevate guys. Only deal is guys

29
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: have to actually catch the football when he places in

30
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: a position for them to actually catch. I love what

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: I've seen out of him. He's taking broken plays and

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: tournament the promises and when you have a potential sec

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: or tackle for a loss, he's actually gained ten twenty

34
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: yards plus. I love, absolutely love what I'm seeing on

35
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Joshua Dobbs in the command that he has of his

36
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: offense and his play baking making ability has been on

37
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: full display. There's really no other answer. I mean, I

38
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: know that there's some guys who have flash and I'd

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: like to get really football with you, but we got

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs coming on the show a little bit later on.

41
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: We have to call it what it is. Josh Dobbs

42
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: has been fantastic for this football team and has really

43
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: inspired a lot of fans throughout these first two preseason games.

44
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: It's one thing to do it against the struggling Jacksonville

45
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: team and their second and third team. There's a team

46
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: that there really was a mess slash year. Now Doug

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: Peterson has his sleeves rolled up and you could already

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: tell and drown you were on the sidelines. You can

49
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: see it. Jacksonville was a world better when it comes

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: to it, just flat out organizations sideline from what we

51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: saw last year on the sideline to this year down

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. But this Philadelphia team that's a playoff team.

53
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: They're well led, they're well coached, they do a good job,

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: they play good defense. That was a nice performance by

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs back on Sunday and it really makes a

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: lot of fans looking forward to what's coming up on

57
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Saturday night and what type of reps he will get

58
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: because there's a big question coming up later on. But

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: first we go to second down, Second on a week

60
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: of camp in the preseason as a player on the bubble.

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: What approached would you have to take this week to

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: try to make the fifty three or someone else's fifty

63
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: three man roster. It's really simple. Every time you step

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: on the football field, make sure you are giving more

65
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: than your all. You go out there and you try

66
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: to die. I know that's not what you should be

67
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: staying in his day and age, But what I mean

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: by that is you're willing to sacrifice mind, body and

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: soul to make this football team because it's gonna take

70
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: that type of ef. You're on the bubble, make sure

71
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't pop on you. Make sure you keep on

72
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: floating onto your roster. And the way you do it

73
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: is by not one glow, not pouting about the fact

74
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: that you're on the bubble. What you do is you

75
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: go into a situation where you just man up, man,

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: and you said to yourself, I'm not going to give

77
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: them a reason to cut me. I'm gonna give them

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: a reason to highly evaluate why they need to keep

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: me around by doing the things the right way and

80
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: working extremely hard and being a positive person within the

81
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah, people who kind of look forward to

82
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: this week, I don't know if you got a soul.

83
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody else. It's the worst. It's

84
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: one thing that I do not miss about being a

85
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: professional athlete was that moment, because it's just it's heartbreaking.

86
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: It's a you can clearly, you know how you go

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: into a funeral and you can feel, especially if it's

88
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: a sad occasion, not one of a celebration of life,

89
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: but one where it's just sad. You can there's a

90
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: spirit of sadness that just permeates the locker room where

91
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: normally this place was jovial and just exciting and fun

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: and guys having a good time talking. But it's like

93
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: your mourning and you really do more because guys and

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: your friends, guys that you come to love and respect

95
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: are no longer gonna be there and there's nothing you

96
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: can really do about it but accept it. Well, they

97
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: showed up at this time last month to camp, and

98
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: there's guys who were at rookie camp and O t

99
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: s and things like that, who who who you know,

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: got a chance to make this football team. So you

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: do develop a bit of a bond with people you

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: can't help but make friends when you're in a place

103
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: for a month straight. So yeah, it it. It is

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: very very emotional, very sad, and not something that even

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: me is an analyst just looking at it where I've

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: never been a part of this process, just only watching

107
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: it from the outside, looking in and seeing hard knocks,

108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: you can't help it be a little bit emotionally torn

109
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: by because you get to the final fifty three, but

110
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: the ones that can't make it, you hope that they

111
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: can catch on with someone else because you know that

112
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: those are truly inspiring stories for a lot of those folks.

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: And I think you're right. You kind of lay it

114
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: out there on the line, if you if you get reps,

115
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: because this is going to be more of a dress

116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: rehearsal game for a lot of teams out there, especially

117
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears. If you get reps,

118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: you lay it on the line, but you hope that

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: what you've put on tape is enough where you either

120
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: make the Cleveland Browns or you get picked up by

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: one of the other teams. So we've seen a lot

122
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: of names you don't again, names like Willie Harvey who

123
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: didn't make the fifty three before, who get called back

124
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: into action. John Kelly Jr. Who's been called back into

125
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: action before the running back out of Tennessee. So there

126
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: there are guys who put enough on tape where they

127
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: get called back in and that's a fine living that

128
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: they were able to make in the NFL. So there

129
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: is hope even after this week number three down, give

130
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: me your bubble wraps. Who do you not want to

131
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: see until Carolina in Week one? This is no normal

132
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: to throw him out there. He's send the retired players

133
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: out there. Hey, guy's gonna call Doug Deacon, make him

134
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: go play left tackle. Heck got resurrect guys and bring

135
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: him out. How dedicated I am to the idea of

136
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: guys playing, But as far as I'm concerned, I don't

137
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: need to see Nick Chubb and I don't need to

138
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: see Myles Garrett. At this point, I think they're good

139
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: to go, and I'll let them do what they do

140
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: and Calliday. So I will bubble wrap those guys. I

141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: can't say the same for Jacobe because he hasn't taken

142
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: a snap and he's gonna be the quarterback, and I

143
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: wanted to even though two weeks from now, Ken, it's

144
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: almost moot because of the fact that you don't play

145
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: again for almost two weeks, I would say, Jacoby, but no,

146
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I need to see something just for his sister of

147
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: confidence and just for the rest of the team, just

148
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: to see what he's capable doing in actual game setting.

149
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: Part of me does and then part of me doesn't,

150
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: because Gerard, like again, I'm on the outside looking in you,

151
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: you have walked the fine line between player and broadcaster,

152
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: and I live in that world in the morning and

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: you live in that world on the afternoon. He has

154
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: to have a good game on Saturday, because they will

155
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: call me up on Monday morning. They will call you

156
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: up on Monday afternoon and they will either inspire confidence

157
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: with the fans or there will be questions with the fans.

158
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: So Jacoby percent in this football game. There is price, sure,

159
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: j There certainly is, because one he hasn't played, and

160
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: the other part is can you get this passing game

161
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: to be consistent? No one does it alone. And again,

162
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: if he throws the ball in the right areas similar

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: to what Dobbs has done and guys just simply are

164
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: being inconsistent and not catching it, you can't put that

165
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. But what you want to see out

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: of Jacoby is again command of the offense, not rushing things,

167
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: making the right decision with the football. Blitz is coming,

168
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: where's my hot route? Boom? Okay, let me audible out

169
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: of this and too, this run the opposite side of

170
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: where the pressure is coming from. Other situations where I'm

171
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: not staring down receivers, but I'm showing signs that, hey,

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: though it's not gonna be too elaborate what they're gonna

173
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: do from a scheme standpoint, but I'm showing the ability

174
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: to manipulate the safeties and other linebackers so that I'm

175
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: not staring guys down and I'm an easy interception. Those

176
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: are the type of things I want to see out

177
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: of him. And again, just a command of the offense

178
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: where you don't feel he's pressing. What I saw a

179
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: Joshua Dobbs game, and I'm pretty sure you felt the

180
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: same way too, can There was no sense of pressure,

181
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: There was no sense of him doubting what he was

182
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: supposed to do within the confines of the plaque that

183
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: were being called. And if we see that out of Jacoby,

184
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: what we've seen out of josh then I will sleep

185
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: easily come Saturday night completely agree. It takes us the

186
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: fourth down four parents coming to town this Saturday at

187
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: First Energy Stadium. They plan on plane their starters up

188
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: to a half. It includes Justin Fields now Matt eve Reflews,

189
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: their new head coach. He said the starters will play

190
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: to thirty place. Question, the first Gerade or the Bear

191
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: is one of the three worst teams in the NFL.

192
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's such a cold blooded I didn't write it.

193
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: That's so cold. But consider that they're not giving Feels

194
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: any protection. And I'm looking at the receivers as well.

195
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying, all right, you gotta surround him with some

196
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: weapons on all phases, and I don't see that. It's

197
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: almost like they're gonna do a trial by fire and

198
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: if he doesn't work out, they're gonna move on because

199
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: he reflessed to get his own quarterback to choose and select.

200
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to actually say, yeah, they are

201
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: between them the Jaguars and potentially the Jets. That could

202
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: be right there, you bottom three. I just got questions

203
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: about the organization. Are they ruining Justin Fields by giving

204
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: him zero help? Again? More questions about the organization. Yes,

205
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: I think that he has I was a big fan

206
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: of justin Fields. Coming out last year, I thought that

207
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: he's got this. He's obviously has an athleticism. I thought

208
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: that the thing about the touch on the ball, I

209
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: thought that that was overblown. I I thought that he

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: did a really good job at Ohio State. I thought

211
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: that he'd be a great quarterback. But I was worried

212
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: about There are quarterbacks and I'm worried about the situations

213
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: they go into. Does the coach, does the staff, does

214
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the organization have the type of imagination that truly unlocks

215
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: the skill set? Do we see that? And we see

216
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: with certain quarterbacks they're all guy like Sean McVeigh. You know,

217
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was kind of left as a bust and

218
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh got to l A and and Sean McVeigh

219
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: being able to take advantage of what Jared Goff does

220
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: have got the very best out Jared Goff. Wasn't enough

221
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: to save Jared Goff in LA No, no, no, it wasn't,

222
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: but he was able to do a good job. With

223
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh there, I'd like to see. I'd like to

224
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: see more with somebody who knows what they're doing with

225
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, because I have a lot of fear where

226
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: you go and you switch our coaches, I need to

227
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: switch our philosophy starout. It's very, very difficult for a

228
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: young quarterback. I think they've put a lot of pressure

229
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: on justin fields. Well, it's location. Location, location, just like

230
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: in real estate, where you land as a quarterback is

231
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: of the utmost important. So while Justice was celebrating the

232
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: fact that he was a top five pick, don't celebrate

233
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: because if that organization sucks and their reasons for why

234
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: they're in the top five is because there are not

235
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: they're not playing well. You want to land in places

236
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: where they have a solid foundation, where there's no flux,

237
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: where there's not constant change. And with the Bears that's

238
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: been the case as well, and we've gone through that

239
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: process so we know it's like we can tell you

240
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: firsthand experiences, was like to have constant change and the

241
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: one thing you don't want is constant change. And what

242
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm seeing with him and it sits wat and kN

243
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: is one in which if I can't really pinpoint players,

244
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: like I can't tell you I can tell you who

245
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: the running back is because I'm studying, But if that's

246
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: on a household name for a receiver, running back position,

247
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: and then you look at the offensive line and say,

248
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: all right, who's protecting him? Because sting how many times

249
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: he got tattooed and ran for his life last season

250
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: and you didn't do much to upgrade that? Are you

251
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: really seriously trying to win football games? You have to

252
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: start asking that question. So I feel for him because

253
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: similar to what Rosen is an extreme of what he's

254
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: going through. But in a lot of ways, Fields can

255
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: find himself in a spot to where a year next year,

256
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: even where you're saying where am I going? Because I

257
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: don't want to be a part of this? So how

258
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: do I move on? And and I don't want to

259
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: be a reclamation project either? But where can I go

260
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: with someone actually can utilize me and put me in

261
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: the situation where there is stability? And right now I

262
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: don't see that for him. On February eighteenth, the Ohio

297
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: I watch you Tennessee for an odd reason, like I

298
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: went to Akron, so I'm not the biggest like Ohio

299
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: State fan, even though the Ohio State's fine, but I

300
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: like college football and I watched you at Tennessee. How

301
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: much did Tennessee get you ready for the NFL? Oh?

302
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: I thought, I think, um, a ton in tremendously like

303
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: playing there? Obviously one you were in the SEC. So

304
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: you're playing against a ton of a ton of NFL

305
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: caliber prospects, right, um, so's it's cool, like seeing like

306
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: now all the guys that you played with and against,

307
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: like on all the NFL rosters, that was one and

308
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: then two. Like the scheme we ran. Although we were

309
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: up tempo and we we did a lot obviously in

310
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the in the Q run game and spreading people out,

311
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: we still ran a lot of pro style concepts in

312
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: the past game. So just like that preparation accompanied with

313
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: playing like some really really good people on defense, really

314
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: prepared for the NFL. Why do SEC fans like other

315
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: SEC teams against non SEC teams because I don't really

316
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: see that in the Big tenor really any other Conference's true,

317
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know, you know, I guess it goes

318
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: by the saying right in the SEC, it's just we

319
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: just say, you know, it just means more. It just

320
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: means more. You know, we like, like a lot of

321
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: people in the SEC, they just have a lot of respect,

322
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: not only obviously for the players on the field, but

323
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: also you know, just a rich tradition around each school.

324
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, each school does a great job kind of

325
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: bringing in the town, bringing in the city, bringing in

326
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: the fans and making them feel part of the football program.

327
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: So I think you know each team, although when we

328
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: play each other, we absolutely detest each other. But when

329
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the SEC is out there competing against other other conferences,

330
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: we want them all to represent. Well, is there still

331
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: a school you don't like? FORDA Vandy? Vandy really? I

332
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: mean they're a doormat for I mean still it's it's

333
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: our in state rival. So there's always some of some

334
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: bitterness against stuff. Does it bother you that? I mean,

335
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: you're so smart, So people from Vandy consider themselves to

336
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: be so smart, and you're smarter than probably most of them.

337
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: M m, there's some intelligent people. I'll buy my I'll

338
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: hold my tongue on that one for sure. Josh Dobbs,

339
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: you want to get on the show. Have you ever

340
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: taken an i Q test? I guess you don't take

341
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: the wonder lick when you come into the league, which

342
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, and then people say, like the S A

343
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: T S technically i Q tests probably those are probably

344
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: like the only a couple of standard eyes once I've taken.

345
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: I haven't just gone out and taken an i Q

346
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: test for fun. What's it like being interviewed knowing you're

347
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: smarter than most of the people interviewing You always gonna

348
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: learn something you know, I think like that's the cool

349
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: things that gives you perspective. Um, But you know, I

350
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: have a lot of back there from a lot of

351
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: the experiences I've had and everything. But I still, you know,

352
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: have an open mind to having the opportunity to learn

353
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: from people and everything. How is this offense? Well, do

354
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: you feel that you've been unlocked in your NFL career

355
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: within this offense? You've just played so well in these

356
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: first couple of games. Yeah, I really enjoyed this offense.

357
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: And I think the way that a VP and keV

358
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: Um and Drew in the offensive staff for the game

359
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: plans that while putting guys in great positions and then

360
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: giving us as quarterbacks, you know, um, opportunities to make decisions. Right.

361
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: They do a great job explaining like, hey, what do

362
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: we want to get out of each and every play,

363
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: whether it's in the run game and pass game, and

364
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: how you can keep the team moving in the right direction,

365
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: keep the team had the change, but the team in

366
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: the best position to win and be productive. And there

367
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, you know, of course, is on you

368
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: to execute. So I've had a lot of fun doing

369
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: that the last couple of weeks. Um you know, I

370
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: know they're just um building, you know, the platform and

371
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: the base um to kind of springboard off throughout the season. Boy,

372
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks just seem to be big fans

373
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: of Alex van pel What more can you tell us

374
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: about them that maybe I know that you just got here,

375
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: but maybe we might not know about them. No, I

376
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: think it's it's cool by being a QB and get

377
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: interus to learn from a guy who's been in your shoes, right,

378
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: So just on the whether it's on the sideline or

379
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: in the film room, and just asking him like just

380
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: talking ball, right, like, hey, what do we see on

381
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: this play? And the big thing like us qbs want

382
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: to know is when you saw him play, like why

383
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: is it being installed? Right? What are we trying to

384
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: accomplish out of that play? So to have a guy

385
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: who's you know, obviously on the coaching side of it now,

386
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: but also sees the game from our perspective, there's a

387
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: great job keeping it simple for us, allowing us to

388
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: play fast and efficiently. And that's why I really enjoyed

389
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: my short time being here. How much time have you

390
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: got to spend in the city since you arrived here?

391
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: A little bit, a little bit um a lot like

392
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: in the Ohio City area downtown is actually funny. I

393
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: played in Pittsburgh, but actually, you know, came up to

394
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland a couple of times to to to do some

395
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: snooping around during my time in Pittsburgh's so I was

396
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: pretty familiar with the city. Um, obviously, playing the Browns

397
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: twice a year, you already knew what the fans and

398
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: what type of sports town it was. So to be

399
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: here and actually be able to go out and and

400
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: get um, I guess, just get around this idiot has

401
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: been awesome. I went over to the Feast over in

402
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Little Italy last week, So becoming a little local around

403
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: the city for fast is a great time over there,

404
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: and there's such good food out there. It was amazing.

405
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: So did a lot of people in Pittsburgh Did they

406
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: mentioned Cleveland a whole lot? Because that's always the weird

407
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: thing everybody thinks from outsider's perspective, they think that the

408
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: Bengals would be the chief rival, and there's a rivalry there, clearly,

409
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: But there are four hours away. Pittsburgh's just under two hours.

410
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: There are a lot closer. I think I think they

411
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: probably mentioned Cleveland a little bit more. And when we

412
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: drive to this game, we fly to Cincinnati when we're

413
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: over there, so I Cleveland's a little closer. I said.

414
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people like in Pittsburgh from Cleveland

415
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: and vice versa. UM, so I think you're you're here

416
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: about the Browns much more often than the other teams.

417
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: Josh Stubbs joining us on the show. Where are you from?

418
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm from Atlanta, down south Atlanta, Georgia. Where'd you go

419
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: to high school? Alfaretta High School? Okay, I've actually heard

420
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: of that high school? So yeah, So what made you

421
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: choose Tennessee? So? UM, I was actually as always committed

422
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: to Arizona State. That was UM for a long time,

423
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: like six months, right, and then I was considering going

424
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: to play baseball at Stanford. UM, so those are kind

425
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: of in Tennessee, like and then going to IVY maybe Princeton.

426
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: So those are kind of like my top four very random. Uh,

427
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: that's crazy all across the country final four for sure. UM.

428
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: And so I actually went up like the week before

429
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: signing day, reluctantly via my parents to go on official

430
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: visit of tendency. I just fell in love and I

431
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: was like well, when I left campus, you know, it

432
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: was a lot of things, like I felt like home.

433
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: That was the big one. It goes to somewhere it

434
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: felt like home, and it did that. Um, I also

435
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to study aerospace engineering it's important to me.

436
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: And then like play football at the highest level. I

437
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: was like, you know, you have this opportunity to play

438
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: football at the highest level in college. You know, UM

439
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: don't take the opportunity for granted. So UM made the

440
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: choice and ran with it, and it's worked out really well.

441
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: That is that is that has to be the most

442
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: random assortment of colleges. Like I have Grand Dealt, but

443
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Grant, what's the other school seeing he

444
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: was like Alabama, Florida. You know, It's it's always that

445
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: like if it's an l s U guy, Alabama, Florida.

446
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: If it's an Alabama A guy l SHO Florida, and

447
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: then you're like Princeton Stanford, It's like, well that's that's

448
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: pretty out there. Yeah, definitely. My official visit slate was

449
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: definitely um fun just racking up all the miles across

450
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: the country for the Cali one week you're up in

451
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: New Jersey, next toning you just drove up to Tennessee,

452
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: and I was like, maybe the dry is a little

453
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: simpler than the flights. Forget my ignorance here. Did you

454
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: get any baseball in the Tennessee So it's funny, um, um,

455
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: So I talked to them during my recruitment, like about

456
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: doing it. Once I got the campus. Man like doing

457
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: engineering and football at the same time. My schedule was crazy,

458
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: so um the first three years I was all focused

459
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: on football. Actually, um, I went over and did work

460
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: out with them for a couple of weeks, like leading

461
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: up to their season after my junior season, which was

462
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. You know, I was rusty. I

463
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: didn't played baseball in three years, but it was a

464
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: lot of fun just getting back out there and having fun. Like, well,

465
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: me and a lot of the guys on the team

466
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: that year we crossed pass Like I lived right down

467
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: the street from like the baseball house. Um so, I

468
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: had a lot of friends on the team. So it's

469
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: cool to get out there and you know, just put

470
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: my old skills to go work. Did you get to

471
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: go to any games? I went to a ton of games.

472
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean I went to I went to almost every

473
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: baseball game I could in school, and there's been cool

474
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: going back like that programs on fire. We obviously know

475
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: what type of year they had last year. So every time,

476
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: like now, I try to at least make it back

477
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: for like one series. It's such an underrated like like

478
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: you always hear about student sections and things like that,

479
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: and it's like okay, when it comes to South like

480
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: Southern baseball, it's like, okay, South Carolina, Clemson, ol A,

481
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: miss those type of things Tennessee. I mean, they get

482
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: on the other players, they stay on the other players.

483
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: It's really underrated. It's is is unrelenting. You know. We

484
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: have like vault Twitter, which goes crazy. It is awesome,

485
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: and like that's if you could just take vault Twitter

486
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: and and figure out something in person, the equivalent. It

487
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: would just be our students section because they are they're

488
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: just ravenal toward the other team. And it's a lot

489
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: of fun. Like the games, the energy. They're about to

490
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: redo the stadium which is gonna be really cool. Um,

491
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: the coach building a great program. So yeah, I'll definitely

492
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: be at more games. You gotta get a long run

493
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: at Omaha. That's what I'm trying to get to a

494
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: good Omaha run very nice thing. Josh stops joining us

495
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: on the show. Okay, I gotta preview the Bears game,

496
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: even though I love talking about you and asking you

497
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: about you. So it's a different role. I mean, I

498
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: we we don't know exactly what we're gonna see just yet.

499
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: Can't give away any secrets here. What's your game plan

500
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: going into the game against the Bears? Yeah, you know,

501
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: it's first, you know, just maximize each repping practice, um,

502
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, and preparing like this will be a lot

503
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: big simulation to what a normal game week looks like. Um.

504
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: So with obviously Jacobe began starting everything, so it's um,

505
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: it's you know, finding ways that you can help the starter, right,

506
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: and then when you're in there, it's running still running

507
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: the offense efficiently. So the mindset never really changes. Um.

508
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Obviously roles may change week to week, but as long

509
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: as you have the consistent mindset, you will be ready

510
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: for any role that they throw at you. Is this

511
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: a fun camp? Yes? Have there been not fun camps? Um?

512
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: Every camp is fun, man, It's it's hard. It's like

513
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: when you get to this level, right, like one is

514
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: just a blessing to be in a camp, you know,

515
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: to start and then to be in camp and have

516
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to prove yourself and play play football. You know,

517
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: it's always fun hotel room or dorm. So we actually

518
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: get to stay at home, which is aw oh my goodness,

519
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: not in dorms. Once you get to the VET status,

520
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: which is even weird to say, you get to sleep

521
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: in your own bed, which that makes it a really

522
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: fun camp. You got drafted by Pittsburgh, right, yes, okay,

523
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: arms over there for camp. You don't need a name.

524
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: Names where their veterans like, are you guys serious with

525
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: this stuff? They we loved being in the trobe. We

526
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: didn't love the dorm. Oh that's a great answer, and

527
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: that's probably true. Yeah, so it had a pros and

528
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: cons for sure. Josh Dobbs with us in the Players Spotlight. Josh,

Speaker 1: the league and go around the FC North and NFC North.

554
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Let's do it away we go, my friend factor fiction,

555
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packs are a legit Super Bowl contender.

556
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: I am going to go with fiction, and it's really simple.

557
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: Why I'm gonna say fiction. It's a three phase sport.

558
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, they got where they got last year.

559
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: I got eliminated because they didn't take care of what

560
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: the thing called special teams. You gotta take care of

561
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: your special teams, and I don't think they did much

562
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: to address the special teams at On the the top of that,

563
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: they're having issues with their receiving corps right now because

564
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: they're known for passing. And if Aaron Rodgers can't trust

565
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: the receivers that in that receiving room, good luck trying

566
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: to make to the Super Bowl. I granted, I will

567
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: give them this. They are the best team in their division,

568
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: but they don't see them win a Super Bowl. They

569
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: have to be a three phase team, and I don't

570
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: think they are. I still gotta say fact just because

571
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers. I can't discount Aaron Rodgers. I can't

572
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: pick out, with the exception of Randall Cob, I can't

573
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: pick out any of his receivers out of the Lineupatkins, yeah,

574
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Okay. Other than those two, I can't pick

575
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: any receivers out of the line up there. I think,

576
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of what you said is true,

577
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: but I just can't discount Aaron Rodgers have much. I'm

578
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and I'm gonna say fact that they

579
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: are a Super Bowl contender. Will Aaron Rodgers miss Vante

580
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: Adams more or will Adams miss Rogers more? He'll be

581
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: the other way around, Rogers will miss Adams more. Right,

582
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: Adams is gonna get the ball throwing him every chance

583
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: Car gets a chance through throw it, and Josh McDonald's

584
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: is gonna definitely have him in the be a prominent

585
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: part of this offense. So from a number standpoint, I

586
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: don't see Adams not getting getting plenty of opportunity. That's

587
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: the issue. Now, his Car better quarterback than Rogers, No

588
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: he's not, but he's a good quarterback. He could deliver

589
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: a pass, and they have rapport. They have a tight friendship.

590
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: They were college teammates, so that's only gonna help the cause.

591
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: So for me, I think Rogers is gonna miss Adams

592
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: more than Adams will miss Rogers. I know that. I

593
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: know we've already done the a f C West. You know,

594
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: what do you think of Derek car Do you think

595
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: he's good? Yes? I do, I really do, and I

596
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: know Tom Brady doesn't think so, but I do. Well.

597
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: The the whole Raiders thing with that was weird, with

598
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: Dana White and everything like that. That was where I

599
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: like Derek carright. I think he's a quality quarterback. He's

600
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: not of the yolk of Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers,

601
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: but he's a He's a very fine say at least

602
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: he'll get the job done. And I think that you're right.

603
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: I think that Rogers will miss Adams more than Adams

604
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: will miss Rogers. Factor fiction, The Lions are the second

605
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: best team in the NFC North. I like Campbell and

606
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: I love the biting of the kneecaps and what that represents.

607
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: And they're a gritty football team. But I gotta give

608
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: some respect and show some love to the Vikings. I

609
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: still think the Vikings are better squad than they are,

610
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to say fiction. Yeah, I would

611
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: still say fiction to that. I would say the Packers

612
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: and the Vikings, then the Lions and the Bears. I'll

613
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: market that way factor fiction. Lamar Jackson is one of

614
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: the top ten qbs in the NFL. Yeah, in fact,

615
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: he wins football games. Look at his look at his

616
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: track record. Has he had nothing but success when he's

617
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: on the football field, and lord knows, we've seen him

618
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: do damage to us after he went to locker room

619
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: and relieve himself and came back and balled out. So

620
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: for me, in my mind, he's a top ten quarterback

621
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: because when he's on the field it may not be

622
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: pretty ad times, and then the playoffs comes around, he

623
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: seems to not have as much success, But I definitely

624
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: think he's a top ten quarterback. Allegedly, my friend, I

625
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: agree with you about Lamar Jackson or the biggest weakness

626
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: for the Bengals this season will be themselves. They have

627
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: addressed their major issue, which was the offensive line. When

628
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: you go to the Super Bowl and then you lose

629
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, I just have a sense and feel

630
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: that the hardest thing about one going to Super Bowl

631
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: is do you really want to go through the pain?

632
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: Do you want to want to go through the process

633
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: and when it takes to get back to that place,

634
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: knowing that weekend and week out because you are the

635
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: ANFC champions and you made to the Promised Land, You're

636
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: gonna get everybody's a plus effort And a lot of times,

637
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: as they like to say, people don't want that smoke.

638
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: They don't want that type of effort, and they say,

639
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna rest on my loyals and

640
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: enjoy the fruits of what I did last season as

641
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: opposed to going out there and trying to get back

642
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: to that place. So the biggest hurdle for them, because

643
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: they're a complete football team, in my mind, will be themselves.

644
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: Do they have a culture in which they're gonna really

645
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: rap and sacrifice and take their bodies, their minds and

646
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: soul for that process again to be a contender and

647
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: get to the bowls? So I say themselves, Man, I

648
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: think a revamped Ravens team. Gotta see what the Browns

649
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: are gonna do. Those were a lot of tight games,

650
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: So I give a lot of credit to Joe Burrow

651
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: to be able to hold steady in those tight football games.

652
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: And then I would say, you know, there is such

653
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: a thing as a Super Bowl hangover, And I still

654
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: think that. You know, when you look at that roster,

655
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: what they were last year. Now they added to it

656
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: a bunch with free agency. I think they addressed the

657
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: right things in the draft. We'll see about some of

658
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: the other draft picks and how they worked out. But

659
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to put so much

660
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: into rookies. But they did go out and they did

661
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: get some veterans there, so they address the right things

662
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: will be enough. I'm not sure if they simply make

663
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: the postseason, but say they lose in the divisional round,

664
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: is that really a bad year for the Bengals. I

665
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: don't think so. If they don't make the playoffs, that

666
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: would be failing to meet some expectations. So I gotta

667
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: agree with you again, I gotta say themselves. Who starts

668
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: at QB Week one for the Telers? Will we pick?

669
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to hear that you are

670
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: a Mitchell Trobinsky supporter to and I have nothing yains

671
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Mitchell either, But I believe they're gearing towards it. Here

672
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: way too much stuff coming out of Pittsburgh and on

673
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: national media by how well he's doing and how they're

674
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: excited about his progress and how far ahead he is.

675
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: I see this being a similar situation to Ben Roethlisberger.

676
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: This is really gonna be a rebuild year for the

677
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Stealers. They no one's giving them any type of

678
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: a chance of being a super Bowl bound or even

679
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: win in our division, so why not throw them out there.

680
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: Expectations with the fan base are already low, so you

681
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: might as well let him get something playing experience. And

682
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: we know from our own experiences that when a first

683
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: round draft pick is close, I don't like it when

684
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: they're close, as he ready to protect himself, as he

685
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: ready to help win. There's a standard two teams that

686
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: have won for a while. I think that, you know,

687
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: if a rookie were to take over right now with

688
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, there's a standard that you're trying to

689
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: set there. So I don't know if that's such a

690
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: good thing to subscribe to. I'm gonna say Ms. Robisky

691
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: starts the season now, he might go out there and

692
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: make a quick mistake, and he might have a quick hook.

693
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: I will grant you that. Now. Kenny Picketts played very

694
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: well in the preseason, but I think that he wants

695
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: to go with a veteran. I think that Mr. Bisky

696
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: is gonna end up starting. I wouldn't be when they

697
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: made that move k practice to have him go with

698
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: the ones and start taking rest with the ones that

699
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: told me everything I needed. That well, I think that

700
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: part of it builds up confidence. I think you're right

701
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: about that. Plus Mit should be able to take care

702
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: of himself. He's been a veteran and he knows what

703
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: this is. I mean, at some point Kenny Pickett is

704
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: going to take over, But I I just think Mike

705
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: Tomlands a different guy. I wouldn't be surprised, But I'm

706
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: just gonna take a guess and I'm gonna say that

707
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: ms R Bisky starts the season and Kenny Pickett ends

708
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: up replacing him, maybe earlier than halfway through, will we

709
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: For all we know, Kenny Pickett may start that Thursday

710
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: night game against the Cleveland Browns, and uh, he probably

711
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: has a nice future with the Detroit Lions at some point.

712
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: That is around the a f C and NFC North.

713
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: Getting you said for the two regular season campaign coming

714
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: up Next to the Voice here Cleveland Browns, Jim Donovan

Speaker 1: to the game against the Chicago Bears this Saturday night.

717
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Cleveland Browns Preview show on the

718

Speaker 1: University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. This is the Cleveland

719

720
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Kim Kerman and Gerard Jerry Brown's

721
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,600

Speaker 1: Cherry live from the Cardiac Club at First Energy Stadium

725
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 1: as the Bears game and draw. I don't know if

726
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: you know about this. Youngstown native and former Bears general

727
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: manager Jerry Angelo put this together. I know we know

728
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: about the uh the Great Lakes Classic, but historically I

729
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: think from what two thousand one is that the Bears

730
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: wanted to play the Cleveland Browns and Gerry Angelo could

731
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: get back to New with East Ohio and see the

732
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: Browns at First Energy Stadium. So that's how kind of

733
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: this whole thing got put together. Like dormant for a while,

734
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 1: But here are the Browns taking on the Chicago Bears

735
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: again up along the lake front to talk about this game,

736
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: to go over the game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

737
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: In the preview of the game on Saturday night, we

738
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: welcome in the voice here Cleveland Browns Jim Donovan. Jim,

739
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us this evening. Can you got me again?

740
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: Hang on, I'm writing down that story for the fourth quarter.

741
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna need it. You're on just about got it

742
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: down now, ready to go. And his dad was a

743
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: football coach, and I think it was a cheney if

744
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. But you know that's that's for the

745
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: fourth quarter for you and Gerond and Nathan. I'll leave

746
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: the rest of it up to you guys. Going back,

747
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: going back to Philadelphia on Sunday, Jim, the big story

748
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: was Josh Dobb's. Got a chance to talk to him

749
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: earlier today. As the Browns get ready for this Bears game,

750
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different. You know, we don't know how

751
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: much Jacobe will play per se, so we'll see a

752
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: different side of Josh Dubbs. But how impressed were you

753
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: through the first couple of games of the preseason with him, Boy,

754
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed, Kennon, really pleasantly surprised at the

755
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: way he played. He's had total command of the offense,

756
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: so being here for the entire off season, and I

757
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: know he was here through everything and and you know,

758
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: learning the offense and and picking it up and then

759
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: going out and playing in it. He's been very, very good.

760
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, his decisions are good, is athleticism is there,

761
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: he's got great size, he's made some really good throws. Um,

762
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: he's been in command of everything. And plus he's been

763
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: very productive. I mean he's led them on scoring drives

764
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: then scored himself. So I um, I have to tell you. Um.

765
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: Whereas I think a couple of weeks ago, I was saying, gosh,

766
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: what do they do it? Backup quarterback, he has made

767
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: it very difficult to say, well, he's you know, we

768
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: can't go with him because if you really watch the

769
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: way he's played and the way he's been coached, obviously

770
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: it's been very good. I mean he has been he's

771
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: been exceptional all I think. And and he's really a

772
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: he's a great guy and really buys into everything that's

773
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: going on here in Cleveland. Yeah, I'm glad you said that, Jim,

774
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: because going into the game against the Eagles, we talked

775
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: about that this idea of he has still not solidified

776
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: himself as a number two. But at this point I'm

777
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: ready to sign off one and say he's done enough.

778
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: Would you go that far? Yeah, I think I am

779
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: Gerard I I Um. I think that there's another aspect

780
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: to it, and I think that this offense that Kevin

781
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: Stefanski runs is a nice fit for him because it's

782
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of a controlled passing game. Um, you know, you

783
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: may take a shot, but it's uh, you know, and

784
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: he does that well, and he's made really good decisions

785
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: and he's gotten the ball out on time, and I

786
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: think that that's important in any offense, but certainly this one.

787
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: So I think that the other side is that this

788
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: is a good fit for him. He's really kind of

789
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: grown up in this offense very quickly. And he admitted

790
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: after the Jacksonville game when he played so well that yeah,

791
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: he really joyce being in it, and he likes being

792
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: around the quarterback room and the people who are coaching

793
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: him Drew pet Singh and Kevin of course, and and

794
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: and Alex van pel So. Um, right now, it's you know,

795
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't find any problems with him right at this

796
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: point in time outsav Amari Cooper and I would even

797
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: put down in people's jones in this category of guys

798
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: who have solidified themselves as starters for their offices and

799
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: receiver position, who out of the remaining guys, how you felt,

800
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: has stepped up, are in a spot to where they

801
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: are pretty much going to be contributors as receivers on

802
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: this squad. Well, I think you rudh, there there is

803
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if they's stepped up, but I think

804
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: the Brons are invested in guys um. They're invested in

805
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz, and he is a project, There's no doubt

806
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: about it. And that project is on the practice field

807
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: and certainly in games. And I would think in regular

808
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 1: season games too, there are gonna be moments where you go, oh,

809
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's a drop. But there may be moments

810
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: and hopefully those will become more than the other moments

811
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: where you just say, all right, there it is. It's

812
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: starting to get better. And when we can finally see

813
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: that speed that has been so forecast in why they

814
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: picked him and and you know, we really haven't seen that.

815
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: We really haven't seen him sent deep where they just

816
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: let him go out and run by somebody and make

817
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: a play but I think they're so invested in him

818
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: that they continue on with him, and the same as

819
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: with David Bell. I mean, he's the third round draft choice,

820
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: like Schwartz, They're invested in him. His problem has been

821
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: that he lost some time at the beginning of training

822
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 1: camp and just finally really get out on the field

823
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: the last week and a half and in the game

824
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: last week. And there were good parts of the game

825
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: last week, and there was a ball he probably should

826
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: have caught down by the ten yard line just before halftime,

827
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: and you know that's just gonna be a progress too.

828
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: But when you look at their passing games, you Rode,

829
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: I think you you know, you look at the wide

830
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: receiver position, but I think you have to broaden that

831
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: out a little bit and say, listen, the tight ends

832
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: are going to be a big part of this pacting game.

833
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: So you have to figure in and Joku, and you

834
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: have to figure in Harrison Bryant too, And that might

835
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: make you sleep a little easier at night. Yeah, that's

836
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: what I get the sense it's going to be the

837
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: case as well. And then looking at the game this Saturday, Jim,

838
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: the Bears will come out and say that, hey, their

839
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: stars gonna play plays, which sounds like a half. Do

840
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: you see us following a similar approach far as what

841
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: we do with our starters, I would recommend that they

842
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: do that. I would like to see them play that

843
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: amount of time now. The Bears are doing it because

844
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: they have played their starters in you know, a pretty

845
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: good number of their starters in the first two games

846
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: against Kansas City and then last week against Seattle, and

847
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: they haven't played well. So they're gonna try and get

848
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: on a high note at least their number one offense

849
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: and definitely justin field. They just have not clicked at all.

850
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: But that's their problem. Now. Our situation is, yeah, I

851
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: would like to see them play. And I know that

852
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: they come back and they say, yeah, but we've got

853
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: a lot of great work done against the Eagles last

854
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: week those joint practices, and I buy that, But I

855
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: still think under the lights, with a crowd in there

856
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: in a game situation, why not. And I you know,

857
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, I know you're a proponent of them playing,

858
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: and I line up with you, my man on this one.

859
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: I would like to see them play before they go

860
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: to Carolina on the eleven. Jim, we thank you so much.

861

871
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: and there's things to be done that are gonna benefit

897
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: this game coming up on Saturday night. What's your thoughts?

898
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to, buddy? It's really simple.

899
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: If Jacobe b Said is playing, I am looking to

900
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: see how he has command and control of the offense.

901
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: Is he's successful in getting the ball up and down

902
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: the football field and sending guys in a position to succeed.

903
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: And then after that, other stars, how do they look

904
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: playing a half of football at least or at least

905
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: a quarter. I want to see that and from there

906
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: I'll be encouraged. So really, in my mind, I feel

907
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: right now, the offense is the biggest question mark for me,

908
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: especially with the passing game. How that looks can give

909
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: you alleviate a lot of concern that I do have

910
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: in regards to what we're gonna do offensively, because we

911
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: all know what teams are gonna do. They're gonna stack

912
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: the box and dare us to pass the football. And

913
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something, there are some wide receivers

914
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: that could take advantage of some opportunities here with this

915
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: team coming up on Saturday night, it would be nice

916
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: to see Anthony Schwartz show up and play well in

917
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: this football game. A couple of other names that could

918
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: show up and play well at least put something on

919
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: tape for another team. More just get Cleveland Browns fans

920
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 1: talking later on, and you learn you'd like to see

921
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: some defense, especially with the interior defensive line. Gerard, I

922
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: think going into this season real quick, that linebacker group

923
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: might be underrated. Yeah, they might be. The key part

924
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: for them is making plays behind the lion scrimmage, being aggressive,

925
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: attacking and covering all aspects of the passing game when

926
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: they had the opportunity to cover in zone concepts or

927
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: even man to man. So yes, all those things will

928
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: be important factors. But again for me is going back

929
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: to the offense and how we look. Because I'm not

930
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: worried about the defense. I'm pretty sure we'll share things

931
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 1: up Thursday night The Kevin Stefanski Show Coach and Anthony

932
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: Walkers seven pm. They'll join Nathan and Gerard Cherry. Then

933
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: the fund starts Saturday afternoon, Brown's Game Day three pm.
