Speaker 4: get his thoughts on two days worth of joint practices

23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: out there in filling drive. That's where I want to

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: start the show tonight. Is this has become kind of

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 4: the flavor in the NFL recently, these joint practices where

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 4: you meet up with a team, you get the preseason schedule,

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: and usually it's the second game of the You know

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: it's the third for the Browns because the Hall of Fame,

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: but a lot of teams the second week of preseason. Hey,

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: we're gonna come to your place. We'll get a couple

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: of days of work in, we'll play the preseason game

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: and just get that work in and as we got

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: today and we'll discuss later. No Deshaun Watson, no Josh

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: Dobbs for this game this week, But Drod, you did

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: joint practices. And the ultimate question I always get asked

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 4: gets asked, is it the same amount of work or

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: even better work than you would get in a preseason game.

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 6: Well, considering the way the preseason format is now, I'm

39
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 6: gonna say you get better work because you're gonna have

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 6: starters versus starters, ones versus ones, twos versus twos, and

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 6: you're gonna have that dynamic taking place. And we know

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 6: iron shoppers iron and a guy should be a one

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 6: or two for a reason. So if you're going against

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 6: that guy, you feel like you're getting more challenge as

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 6: opposed to a young, inexperienced player or a player who

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 6: may have lost a step or two. So right there,

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 6: on the premise of it being the better players from

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 6: a starting standpoint getting the chance to go put you

49
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 6: in that state of mind, that is a better operation

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 6: by having these practices. But I will also add this

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 6: to it, Matt Philadelphia, I would say have done it

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 6: perfectly had they won a Super Bowl.

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 7: In that last year they were on a tour.

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 6: They went to Berea, then they went to Miami, And

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 6: I think in this day and age of how do

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 6: you manufacture grit, grind, toughness in the NFL, in which

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 6: there are so many rules in place now to protect

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 6: guys from being physically spit and extraneous activity taking place,

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 6: they figured out a way in which you can get

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 6: quality work done and push your guys to limit by

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 6: traveling the way they are. So I think that's a

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 6: new in vogue thing because ultimately next season we're not

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: gonna play in the Hall of Fame game, We'll probably

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 6: be back to what three preseason games and you'll probably

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 6: see the stars in one if that. So, how do

66
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 6: you get that quality working if you're not playing and

67
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 6: taking the risk of guys playing in the preseason, you

68
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 6: do exactly what they're doing.

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 7: You practice against other squads, and.

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: A coach has said this, and I know a lot

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: of coaches, the controlled environment helps to wear you know.

72
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: The injuries will happen. And good to see that Miles

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: Garrett is out in individual drills today, Denzel back after

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: the heat related illness. Good to see Elijah Moore get

75
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: a little bit of work after his injury in the

76
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: preseason game. But coach loves it because you get the work,

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: but it's a little more controlled and you can try

78
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: to try to reduce those injuries the best that you can.

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 6: And I do believe there's some gamesmanship going on in

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 6: preseason in which the coach will be like, you know what,

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 6: let us get this type of look if you don't

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: mind mm hm in a goal line situation. But in

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 6: a practice, it's right there for you. If you want

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 6: to run it multiple times, you can do just that.

85
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 6: To work on something that you're not that sure about

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 6: and you do it. So that's the benefit of it,

87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 6: because ultimately you want to practice until it's perfect and

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 6: you want to be in a spot to where you

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 6: feel like, okay, we're confident with this, but then you

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 6: have the game element of it to where at some

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 6: point you're gonna have to do it in an uncontrolled

92
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 6: but controlled environment.

93
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 4: To the last two days, and you and I were

94
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 4: talking about this before the show. It is a script

95
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: of almost every joint practice. Whichever team wins Day one

96
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: rarely wins Game two or Day two, i should say,

97
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: and usually Day two gets that little bit of chippiness

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: in it. And that's kind of what we've seen in Philly.

99
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: Browns were pretty dominant yesterday, Eagles came out today a

100
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 4: little bit of fire, and there was just a few

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: skirmishes from us.

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 7: It's gonna happen.

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 6: First of all, you deal with guys who refuse to

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 6: be a masculine, especially on their own turf.

105
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 7: That's just the way it goes.

106
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 6: And if you do get dominated two days in a row,

107
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 6: you really have to question what type of football team

108
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 6: you are. And all these goals and aspirations and ambitions

109
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 6: that you have about what the season is.

110
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 7: Going to entail. You're joking, you're kidding yourself.

111
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 6: If you let someone come to your house and push

112
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 6: you around two days straight, you better respond about it.

113
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 7: And also, Matt, your job's on the line.

114
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: And it's the Philadelphia Eagles there were in the Super Bowl. Like,

115
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: that's probably my biggest thing and why I'm so happy

116
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: the Browns were able to do this against Philly. Like

117
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: I think if people haven't seen from the Brown social

118
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: media today that video of Miles going up against Jordan Maliatta,

119
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: the left tackle, the six foot I hope Dwan Jones

120
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 4: talk to him a little bit, just be like, just

121
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: let me pick your brain for just the second man.

122
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: But you know that's that's best on best right there.

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 4: That's what you want. And it's not the same guy

124
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 4: you've seen for three weeks where you know his move

125
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: and he knows he knows yours and you're getting working.

126
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: You can get out there and get after it. So

127
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: that's where the Brown's going to a team like Philadelphia

128
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: and the same thing. I'm sure Philly is happy that

129
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: the Browns came as a good team with really good players.

130
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: I want to see Denzel Ward against Devonte Smith. I

131
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: want to see these good players going up against one another,

132
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 4: and specifically the one for me was our D line

133
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: against their offensive line, because the Browns offensive line is

134
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: one of the best in football. Phillies might be the

135
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 4: best in full I really think it's either the Browns

136
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: or Phillies one of the best offensive lines in football.

137
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: And the most revamped position for the Browns was that

138
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: D line, right, and seeing what these guys have up

139
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: against the all pro players like the Eagles.

140
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 6: Have exactly and add to that, Matt, what you just said,

141
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 6: the fact that they were in the what they were

142
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: in the Super Bowl, so they were one. They were

143
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 6: and there's nothing like being in the Super Bowl when

144
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 6: you have that week when you look to this left

145
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 6: and you look to the right, and you realize that

146
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 6: you and your teammates are the only two left standing

147
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 6: far as teams are concerned. And when you have that

148
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 6: sense and filling other guys appreciate that around the league

149
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 6: who aren't where you're at, And when it comes to

150
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 6: the offseason and then into the season, you start measuring

151
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 6: yourself against that Super Bowl contender as well as that champion.

152
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 6: And this is what this serves as Okay, if I

153
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 6: can hold my own, if I can dominate even better

154
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 6: against a super Bowl caliber team, and we did as

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 6: a collective and as an individual, that boosts confidence, that

156
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: gets you to a place like, yeah, we do have

157
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 6: something special here. We can build on this, and I'm

158
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 6: hoping in praying that's what the guys experience and our

159
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 6: feeling right now is they go back to their.

160
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: Rooms speaking and go back to the rooms. We know

161
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: a walk down walk through tomorrow, which I think is

162
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: so cool. They're going to Kevin Stefanski's alma mater. They're

163
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: going to Penn to do their walk through tomorrow, which

164
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: is so I think that is really cool. It's awesome.

165
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: And then obviously Andrew Berry's twin brother is in the

166
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: Eagles organization, a lot of family there for Kevin Stefanski.

167
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: So I thought that was some really cool parts of

168
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: the day. But double walkthrough. Obviously, gearing up for preseason

169
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: game number three coming up on Thursday night, we got

170
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: an official from coach that the starters and most of

171
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: the second stringers won't play. Dorian Thompson Robinson has become

172
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: one of the stories of really the NFL preseason Drodd

173
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: He's gonna get the start, play the first half, then

174
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: Kellen Mond in the second half. And I've gone back

175
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: with some people on DTR, which for those who don't know,

176
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: I was a giant. I was so happy when they

177
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: drafted him because I just I love the fit, I

178
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: love the skill set, and I think he fits what

179
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: this room is. But I still think Josh Dobbs is

180
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: your backup for this season. There's development to be had

181
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: with Dorian. I think he's made some amazing strides this year.

182
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: I want him to capture that enjoy but know that

183
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs is here to serve a purpose and get

184
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: it done. But DTR, I know a lot of people

185
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: are gonna be tuned in Thursday night to see what he's.

186
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 6: Got, no no doubt about it. And he's playing with

187
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 6: the house of money. He has an opportunity to go

188
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 6: out there and just play football, and that's exactly what

189
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 6: he's done. It doesn't seem like he's stressing about the

190
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: situation at hand, and some people are like, well, you know,

191
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 6: if you press yourself, maybe you'll get the spot where

192
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 6: you are the number two. Don't concern yourself with that

193
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 6: by any stretch of your imagination. You can't control what

194
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 6: coach to fancy, what Andrew Berry, what Dee Podesta is

195
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 6: going to do. So what you can control, though, is

196
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 6: your effort and how you've been playing. Because I must say,

197
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 6: I've seen a lot of preseason games in my lifetime,

198
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 6: and this has to be one of the better efforts

199
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 6: that I've ever seen far as a quarterback. Consistently gaming

200
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 6: the game out, showing up and showing out. It takes

201
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 6: me back to Brian Horrier when he won himself a

202
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: starting position because it was clear from that situation that

203
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 6: he was the better quarterback.

204
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 7: Now I'm not making that claim.

205
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 6: Whatsoever about dtr but i must say I've been very impressed.

206
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 6: I've been very encouraged, and I've been very happy about

207
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 6: his progress and I'm looking forward to seeing what he

208
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 6: does on Thursday night.

209
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: Coach is always saying make it hard on us. They

210
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: saying make it a GM people, you know GM front

211
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 4: office as well, make it hard on us to make.

212
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 7: This set man.

213
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: He is in this one.

214
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: And that's why, like I so I said, I think

215
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: the Browns quarterback room, the way that it is set up,

216
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 4: is what exactly you need. You have what a guy

217
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: that could be an elite franchise quarterback. You've got Josh

218
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: Dobbs that is served in that backup role, proven can start

219
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: if you need to. And you have your development project

220
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: type player that just have some physical attributes that you

221
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: really can find and a little had a schedule. From

222
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: everything that he's shown, Draddy can't get out of here

223
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 4: without asking about cheese steaks and Phil you spent time

224
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: you played for the Eagles. You've been there, you were

225
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: part of it. What's the one thing that sets a

226
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 4: cheese steak apart from the rest? Is it the bun?

227
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: Is it the cheese?

228
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 7: Is it the toppings?

229
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 6: Like a great question, though, and if you don't have

230
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 6: the bun right, it will all be screwed. But you answered,

231
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 6: But you do because I've gone to several places, and

232
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 6: I tell you tourists out there, stay away from the

233
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 6: popular places that are advertised.

234
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: And he browns fans going to Philly for the game

235
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: listening to drive right now, this is vitally important.

236
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 7: You'll be shocked in surprise.

237
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 6: But your best cheese steaks might be found at a

238
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 6: local gas station that makes them on a griddle.

239
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: Griddles, It's so important. It's gotta be done that.

240
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 7: It's gotta be seasoned right. But yeah, man, it has

241
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 7: to be made with love. But you're right. If that

242
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 7: bun ain't right, then it ain't gonna be right.

243
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 4: It's the cheese. You gotta put the onions. The pepper's

244
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: got to be grilled perfectly as well and chopped up

245
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: ready to go. Well, Drod's got that opportunity to get

246
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,880

00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 4: I want to ask Hi about Dewan Jones because we

257
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 4: talked about Dorian Thompson Robinson really being one of the

258
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 4: stars so far in preseason. Another fellow draftee and Dewan

259
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 4: Jones is starting to turn some heads on some of

260
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: the things he's been able to do out there, a

261
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 4: sticking at right tackle, as coach has said. So I

262
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 4: can't wait to talk to Joe Thomas about Dwan Jones,

279
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: He's drowed Cherry. I'm Matt Fontana will be joined shortly

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: by Brown's Hall of Famer Joe Thomas to recap a

281
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: couple of days of joint practices out there in Philly,

282
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: and I mentioned Dwan Jones just a little bit, Drod

283
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 4: and it was, you know, unfortunate that Jack Conklin is

284
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 4: in concussion protocol right now. James Hudson will get that

285
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: start at right tackle, but I think so much about

286
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: Dwan Jones and he's one of the guys that I

287
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: think has had maybe some of the biggest leaps this

288
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: preseason and really shown a lot and one of those guys.

289
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to put the car before the horse

290
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: or anything, but to say you can look back at

291
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: this and go, man, the Browns really got to steal

292
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 4: when they got Dwan Jones.

293
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: Right, especially if he emerges as a sen tackle and

294
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 6: God don't forbid a starter, then you're in a great spot.

295
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 4: With that, absolutely, And to get more insight on that,

296
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: we bring in the Hall of Famer Joe Thomas. Joe,

297
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people have said this. I

298
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 4: haven't had a chance to talk to you first off.

299
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: Congratulations on the induction down there and can't I know

300
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: it is a really special day. And we welcome into

301
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 4: the Kevin Stefanski Show.

302
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: Joe.

303
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: We started, we were talking Dwan Jones, and I just

304
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 4: wanted to get your thoughts as an former offensive lineman

305
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: with a guy that size, with the guy that big,

306
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: is there something specific that you look at when it

307
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 4: comes to Dwan Jones, whether he does that better than

308
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: anybody else, or something he needs to focus on to

309
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 4: play an elite level.

310
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was really cool for me. I got a

311
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 8: chance to spend some time with him after practice day,

312
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 8: just kind of chopping it up and talking about his game.

313
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 8: And what I said is the most obvious thing in

314
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 8: the world is like, dude, you're blessed with the most

315
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 8: amazing size. Understand what that does for you. Because the

316
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 8: event is only going to beat you. It's one of

317
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 8: three ways. They can either beat you the end to

318
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 8: the outside. They can run through you with you. They

319
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 8: can only beat you two ways. There's nobody on planet

320
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 8: Earth who can run through you're so big. So remember,

321
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 8: if you keep your shoulder square, they can't beat you

322
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 8: to the inside. That means if you're able to get

323
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 8: off the ball quickly at the snap for two quick kicks.

324
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 8: It's going to put you ahead of all those guys

325
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 8: that are rushing the pass ahead of you. And if

326
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 8: you're square after two kicks, they can't beat you inside,

327
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 8: they can't beat you through you. Then all you got

328
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 8: to use is those big, long arms and you can

329
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 8: just push people wide every time. So I said, focus

330
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 8: on getting off the snap as quick as you possibly can.

331
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 8: Beat that snap in your head, that should be the

332
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 8: number one thing you think about, because if you get

333
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 8: back two kicks square, there's nobody in the NFL that

334
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 8: will be able to beat you.

335
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 6: And Joe, how has he looked so far from your

336
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 6: evaluation and your advantage point, I've been really impressed.

337
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 8: I mean a guy that size, especially a rookie, it's

338
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 8: pretty impressive the way he moves. I know he was

339
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 8: a basketball guy and he said that, you know, basketball

340
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 8: is his first love. And it's easy to see why

341
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 8: because the guy I've got twinkle toes. It's amazing how

342
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 8: athletic and click his seed are for somebody his size.

343
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 8: And I think the thing that has impressed me, and

344
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 8: I've said it a couple of times already, is just

345
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 8: how important it is. He's not a guy that's just

346
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 8: out there doing it just because you know, Hey, well

347
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 8: I was a big guy and I guess I gotta

348
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 8: go play football like it's really important to him to

349
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 8: be great. And I think that's one of the things

350
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 8: that gets overlooked a little bit, and it's one of

351
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 8: the things that sometimes they're missing in those guys that

352
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 8: have the elite talent, but they don't have the elite

353
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 8: desire and drive, and that's really what holds him back.

354
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 8: But I don't think that's going to hold him back.

355
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 8: I think we've already seen from where he got here

356
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 8: in OTAs when maybe he wasn't in the best shape,

357
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 8: to where he has now playing the full Hall of

358
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 8: Fame game and following them up with a great game

359
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 8: against the Washington Commanders. And he's proven to us with

360
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 8: his conditioning and with what he's done improving on the

361
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 8: field that he loves it and he wants it.

362
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: Bron's Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joining us here on

363
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 4: the Kevin Stefanski showing, of course Joe part of the

364
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: broadcast preseason game number three this Thursday night with Joe

365
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: Rose in the Great Adid Kinklebalas, So make sure you

366
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: tune in Thursday Night Joe to the rest of the

367
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: offensive line. When we think of joint practices, I think

368
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: a lot of people say, all quarterbacks can get timing

369
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 4: down or wide receivers against the corners. But tell everybody

370
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 4: how important is it for the line to get some

371
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: work done in these joint practices.

372
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 8: Well, these last two days were really huge for the

373
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 8: line because of the talent of the guys that they

374
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 8: were going against. Philadelphi Eagles. They've built their success the

375
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 8: last few years around their O and D lines. I mean,

376
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 8: I think a lot of people would say last year

377
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 8: they probably had the best O line in the NFL,

378
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 8: and certainly they've got a claim to be made that

379
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 8: they might have the best defensive line. And so for

380
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 8: our guys to be able to go against the best

381
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 8: for these last couple of days and hold their own

382
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 8: and then I think, truthfully, yesterday, I think our D

383
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 8: line actually manhandled the offensive line for the Philadelphi Eagles. Today,

384
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 8: our O line, like I heard Bill Callahan say calling

385
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 8: it up at the end of practice today that he

386
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 8: was so proud of our online group because they took

387
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 8: it to them. I mean they took them behind the

388
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 8: witch sheet and they handled the Eagles D line. So

389
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 8: when you're able to play against the best and hold

390
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 8: your own I think that builds a lot of confidence

391
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 8: at this point in training camp that you can go

392
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 8: against anybody during the season.

393
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 6: And Joe, how important is that confidence and how can

394
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 6: a sustain a football team is trying to find their identity.

395
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 8: Well, I think it's really important because everybody knows how

396
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 8: important this season is. So there's gonna be a lot

397
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 8: of pressure on this team to have some success right

398
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 8: from the start. Everybody expects that the season is going

399
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 8: to be a lot better than last season because you

400
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 8: got your quarterback the whole year, and there's no wondering

401
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 8: who is going to be under center week one, and

402
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 8: so I think it's important for them to start fast.

403
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 8: I think it's important for them to play well at

404
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 8: the beginning of the year and building that confidence in

405
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 8: training camp is how you do that, Joe.

406
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 4: Maybe the hardest most important question Draw and I discussed it.

407
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 4: The key to a good cheese steak is what Roden

408
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: I both agree, it's the bun. It's got to be

409
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 4: toasted properly. What's the key to a good cheese steak.

410
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I'm mostly a low carb dieter, but when

411
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 8: I eat bread, I am a savant when it comes

412
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 8: to what makes great bread products. So you have to

413
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 8: have that thin eggshell, crispy crust on the outside, propper

414
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 8: baking and toasting, but then the inside needs to be

415
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 8: buttery soft with a slight tug. It can't be just

416
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 8: melting your mouth. You've got to have just a little

417
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 8: bit of a tug so that whole sandwich holds together

418
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 8: perfectly with every single bite. And you're exactly right. I mean,

419
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 8: it's it's easy to make the meat, it's easy to

420
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 8: put the cheese and fry the peppers and stuff. But

421
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 8: the secret to a great cheese steak is obviously having

422
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 8: that great little crust on the outside of the bread,

423
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 8: but that gooey soft inside.

424
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 4: He's a hall of famer in many disciplines. Thomas will

425
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 4: be watching Thursday night on the preseason broadcast with Chris

426
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 4: and add Joe. We appreciate the time. Go get your

427
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,200

Speaker 8: So always I appreciate you guys having me on. Thanks

Speaker 4: There he goes Joe Thomas like he's got the inside

431
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: to jerid. He gotta keep tell everything too mean descriptive?

432
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 7: Where does he use?

433
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: Has me salivating right now for you'll be on your

Speaker 4: in the University Hospital's Cleveland Browns Radio Network.

442
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: I feel like I have people in the building that

443
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: can tell me the truth, and I think that's really

444
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: important because I don't want this to be a place

445
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: where I don't get the truth from our guys.

446

Speaker 9: Welcome back to the Kevin Stefanski Show, all along the

449
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,720

Speaker 9: and coach.

452
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 10: Let's just start with us. What's it like for you

453
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 10: being back in Philly.

454
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good to be back here. You know.

455
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: It's I got a lot of family still here. So

456
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: there's some old haunts that I'm driving by. I haven't

457
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: stopped in them, but I'm seeing them. So it's just

458
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: fun for us as a team to be in this

459
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: city and bonding under one roof again in the hotel

460
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: and over at the practice facility. So I think anytime

461
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: you can do these trips, it's special. And then I

462
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: can answer any questions. If people need a good recommendation

463
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: for a restaurant.

464
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 10: Welcome, how about one for the people right now?

465
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: Okay, well let's always all roads lead back to pizza.

466
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,200

467
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 2: local pizza brought in for the team a place called

468
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: Pika's p i c a. The Pika Family. I was

469
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: raised on that pizza growing up. It's right in Delaware County,

470
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 2: Upper Darby, so I had that. I'm gonna have that

471
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: brought in for the team, so they you know, the

472
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: way to my heart is through my mouth.

473
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 10: What's your go to toppings on pizza if any?

474
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all good. You know, just a plane slice

475
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: of pizza can be just as good. I love pepperone,

476
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: I love mushrooms, but I'll try it all. There's nothing

477
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: I won't try.

478
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 9: I'm a PEPPERONIU mushroom man myself, all right. So that's

479
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 9: the pizza. Everybody pay attention to that when you come

480
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 9: to Philly. Let's talk about the work though, because you

481
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 9: are here to get a lot of work, and against

482
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 9: the defending NFC champions. You know, just seeing it, boy,

483
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 9: it feels like a big difference from a year ago.

484
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 9: Do you sense that as well in terms of this roster,

485
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 9: the size, the toughness, and what you've seen on the

486
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 9: field against the Eagles.

487
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, good work against a great opponent. You know,

488
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 2: you look at this team that we're playing. They were

489
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl last year representing the NFC. They're

490
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: really well coached. Everything they do is really sound. And

491
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: then you know, you look at their roster and you

492
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: see the skill players on the outside and the quarterback

493
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: and the lines and certainly their defensive line. It's just

494
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: a really good matchup for us. It's a great barometer

495
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: to see where you are. You know, obviously for us

496
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 2: to be able to bring in Zadarius and Dalvin then Obo,

497
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: those guys make a difference. They really are are pros

498
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: that have played at a high level in this in

499
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: this game, and I think we're seeing the benefits of that.

500
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 9: I don't know if you got any feedback to this effect,

501
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 9: maybe from the Eagles, but as watching it, this defensive

502
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 9: line and I'm talking about ours. We'll get to theirs

503
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 9: in a second. It's a problem. Jalen Hurts was under

504
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 9: duress all day pretty much. Their completions, it felt like

505
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 9: those were a lot of those were sacks, the Darius

506
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 9: Miles Obo, you mentioned Adalve and is that fun to watch?

507
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 9: And you know, as a guy who's called plays in

508
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 9: this league, how disruptive it can be when a defensive

509
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 9: line makes your offense kind of neutered.

510
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you have to be so careful in

511
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: practice settings, and as exciting as it is to see

512
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: some of the rushes, there's also listen that they're going

513
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: to get there.

514
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: So that's a great offense.

515
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: So Jalen Hurts, he has the ability to evade free

516
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: rushers at times, So I thought there was some Really

517
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: there was a good back and forth in these practices.

518
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: I think they certainly got theirs, we got ours, And

519
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 2: it's just a way to compete like crazy against a

520
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: really good.

521
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 9: Opponent from what you've seen so far. You mentioned it's

522
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 9: a barometer. Do you see the progress and this roster

523
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 9: and this football team from a year ago, because we

524
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 9: came out of those and we're like, Wow, that Philly team,

525
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 9: they're big, they're good, they're going to win the NFC.

526
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 9: Do you feel like you've seen that progress you want

527
00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 9: to see?

528
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: You know, I don't look at it that way. For me.

529
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: It's really trying to figure out where our football team

530
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 2: is right now getting ready for September tenth and beyond.

531
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: So I think we're where we should be. I don't

532
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: think where we all. We're not where we.

533
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 5: Ultimately need to be.

534
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: And that's where the work versus Eagles, that's where the

535
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: practice is going into next week versus the Chiefs, and

536
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: really all the work we're doing up in Maria. That's

537
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: there's a lot left to do. There's a lot that

538
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: we need to clean up. Having said that, anytime you

539
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: can go up against a team like this, like we're

540
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: going up against it and understand where your strength and

541
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 2: where your weaknesses lie.

542
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 5: I think that's important.

543
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 10: What did you see from our offense?

544
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 5: Some big plays and then some some sloppy plays.

545
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: It was really I told the players it was the good,

546
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: the bad, and the ugly, and the good is really

547
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: good and we just got to clean up the bad

548
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: and the ugly. And you know, for us, like every team,

549
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, there's there's you're working through things, and you're

550
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: you're trying different plays, and you're working different formations of

551
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: those type of things, and you're learning. So a lot

552
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: of mistakes that are made are not necessarily a bad

553
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: thing because now you're learning for the for the next play.

554
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 10: When you have this kind of joint practice, you have

555
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 10: the tape. So take us through the process. You come back,

556
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 10: the tape is watched, You get the guys ready for

557
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 10: day two? How does that?

558
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 9: What are you kind of doing? Are you making any adjustments?

559
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 9: So you saying, oh, this is what they were doing,

560
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 9: We're going to counter it with this. What's kind of

561
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 9: that tape watching process, both for conceptually and then individuals

562
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 9: to get them ready for that second day of a

563
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 9: joint practice, Because don't get an opportunity like play a

564
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 9: game against Eagles and then come back and play a

565
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 9: game against Eagles the very next day.

566
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: First of all, it's a lot of tape, so it's

567
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: really two practices that are going on, and for me,

568
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: while the practice is happening, I'm with our offense, so

569
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing our defense until I get back here.

570
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: So really I'm watching two practices when we get back here,

571
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: and you know, you watch O line versus D line,

572
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: you watch our offensive line, then you got to go

573
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: watch our defensive line. Which is the fun part where

574
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: we just have so much tape to watch. There's no

575
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 2: game planning, there's no like we're going to do this

576
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: and we're going.

577
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: To show you this.

578
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: It's it's just that's not what this time is for,

579
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: or this setting is for. It's really about, all right,

580
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: let's go put some stuff on tape. We've been working this,

581
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: let's see what it looks like versus this scheme. There's

582
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: a lot of looks that we maybe don't get on

583
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: offense that we need to see from this defense. There's

584
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: a lot of looks that our defense is seeing from

585
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 2: the Philly offense that they need to see. So it's

586
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: just a matter of building reps upon reps.

587
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 9: Let's talk about one of the looks that we showed,

588
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 9: and maybe I missed it while you were in Brie

589
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 9: at the Greenbrier, but it was fun to watch what

590
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 9: I'd call like a big dime where you had all

591
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 9: three safeties one, Rodney and Grant out there with the

592
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 9: three corners, Greg Denzel and MJ one linebacker and the

593
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 9: four guys getting after It feels like there's a lot

594
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 9: of versatility in that and that defense that felt like

595
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 9: had some success against the Eagles.

596
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, as you can imagine, there's no shortage

597
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: to what you can do defensively when you have versual

598
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: football players. So we've been working through so many different

599
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: personnel groupings. We happened to be in that one versus

600
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: the Eagles, but there's a ton of groupings. You can

601
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: move people around. You know, people talk about having versatility

602
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: up front. If you can rush outside and inside, that

603
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: really opens up our defense and defensive coaches to design

604
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: certain things. If you can play as a safety, you

605
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: can play man end zone, you can play in the post,

606
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: you can play low. That opens up things that we

607
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: can do. So we're just trying to test what we have,

608
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 2: see what versatility we have so that we can get

609
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 2: ready to use it in the season.

610
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 9: All Right, the day one felt like kind of general.

611
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 9: Day two and you're gonna get in some situational football

612
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 9: red zone. How valuable is that kind of work in

613
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 9: these settings?

614
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, red zone?

615
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: Typically with these practices on the second day you get

616
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: in the red zone because the guys are tired. I mean,

617
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 2: you go hard that first day and it's full field cover,

618
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: so you really go in that red zone to really

619
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: shorten the length.

620
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 5: Of the field.

621
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: And but for that, having said that, the amount of

622
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: work you get down there is awesome. So we'll get

623
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: some seven on seven reps. We got some team reps

624
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: down there to be able to just go against each

625
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: other and again see how their defense deploys, how their

626
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: offense deploys in that red zone work two minute. You're

627
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: really trying to get as much situational ball as you can.

628
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 9: You preach that all the time, situational football. Why is

629
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 9: that so valuable in terms of do you feel like

630
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 9: that's really the key kind of between.

631
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 10: Winning and losing in the regular season.

632
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 5: That's the game.

633
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Situational ball is a game and The thing we always

634
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: talk about is shared situational awareness. It doesn't matter what

635
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: I know, or it doesn't matter what just a Sean

636
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: knows or just you know, Coach Schwartz or a defense

637
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: defensive line. We all of havet to know it together.

638
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: We got to be on the same page so that

639
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: when those situations come up, there's not a lot of

640
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: explaining that needs to happen. We've worked it, we've repped it,

641
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: we've talked about it. So we're all fifty three players,

642
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: all the coaches are locked in and know exactly what

643
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: we're doing.

644
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 10: You mentioned DeShawn. What's the biggest difference you see in him?

645
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 9: Now you get to see him go against the Eagles,

646
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 9: go against the Eagles a year later, what's the biggest

647
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 9: difference you see?

648
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think really what we've talked about all along,

649
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 2: just comfort and comfort in the system, comfort and what

650
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 2: we're doing.

651
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: You know.

652
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: I think he's a player that continues to take every

653
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: single day to try to get better. I mean that's

654
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 2: what I see from him. And I say that because

655
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 2: I spend every meeting with him. I know what he's seeing,

656
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: I know what he's looking at, I know what his

657
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: thought process is, and he's a guy that's a constantly

658
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: striving to get better every single day.

659
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 9: We started earlier talking about our defensive line what they

660
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 9: were able to do.

661
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 10: You had a deal with the Darius Smith when he

662
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 10: was in Green Bay.

663
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 9: Now that he's on your team, and just seeing what

664
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 9: he did against Washington, taking Andrew Wiley back, getting that safety,

665
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 9: and then even out here on this field, just his

666
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 9: power jumps out of you no matter where you are

667
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 9: in the facility watching him go work.

668
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a reason we went out and

669
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: got Ze and you see it. He can rush with power,

670
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: he can rush with speed, he can rush inside and outside.

671
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 2: So he brings it again going back to that versatility.

672
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: He gives us so many options there on the defensive front.

673
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 10: Why was getting Shelby hair It's important to you.

674
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Shelby's done a nice job.

675
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: I think Andrew and the crew kind of recognize an

676
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: opportunity there with Shelby, a pro that that's been in

677
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: different systems, really has been around, knows how to play,

678
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: has played really productive and disruptive football really in his career.

679
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 9: We'll end with this one coach, you went to the

680
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 9: Greenbrier with this group now you've spent this time in

681
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 9: Philly with this group, have you felt the bonding that

682
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 9: you wanted to see? Do you feel like this group

683
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 9: is maybe further ahead than they would be if they

684
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 9: were just in Berea in terms of that bonding, the teamwork,

685
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 9: that fabric that you're going to need to go through

686
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 9: what is a very long season that will have ups

687
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 9: and downs in adversity. Do you feel like that that

688
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 9: has worked the way that you had wanted it to.

689
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: It's impossible to measure, you don't know. I know this.

690
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: The more you put your team around each other, just

691
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: the more you're going to get to know each other,

692
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: the more you know it's the you're gonna sweat together,

693
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna bleed together, you're gonna cry together, all those things.

694
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just part of coming together as a team.

695
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: So impossible to measure, but I do believe that putting

696
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: our guys under one roof has its benefits.

697
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 9: Coach, thank you so much for the time. Enjoy the

698
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,920

Speaker 9: of the better offensive lines in the NFL. You get

740

741
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 9: better offensive lines in the NFL. Day one, it felt

742
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 9: like you guys dominated them. How wouldn't you put the

743
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,200

Speaker 11: But you know, hats off to them. They came back

748
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 11: today and they had a really good day. So it

749
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 11: was a really good competition all and all. But it

750
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 11: was good, good to see where we were, where we are,

751
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 11: you know, but we got a.

752
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 1: Lot of work to do.

Speaker 10: How do you feel about where you guys are right now?

754
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 11: It's a process. You know, we're not there yet, We're

755
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 11: not where we want to be at. But you know,

756
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 11: we're going to get back to work, get back to

757
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 11: Cleveland and keep working, you know. And it's not a

758
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 11: one day thing, you know, it's a process. We're just

759
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 11: going to keep climbing.

760
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 9: When you have a coach who kind of tells you

761
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 9: to go, as Jim Schwartz says, go get after the ball.

762
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 9: Is that something that brings a smile to your face

763
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 9: as well? And is this style suit you find that

764
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 9: it's suiting you right now and soon.

765
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 11: All of us, Hey, we're we're all planning to have

766
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 11: our best years with Jim Schwartz.

767
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: We're so happy to be coached by him.

768
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 11: He's really took the seat belts off of us and

769
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 11: just letting his goal in this play and it's working

Speaker 10: Well, it's great to see you out there.

775
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,720

776
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 9: see number fifty four on the field here?

777
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: Energy energy, just pier energy.

778
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 10: All right, Obo, pleasure as always, Thanks for the time.

779
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me.

780
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: Great stuff there with Nathan Zigur and Obo Okronquo back

781
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: here on the Kevin Stefanski Show in the University Hospitals Cleveland.

782
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 4: Brown's Raider Network, Drod Cherry, Matt Fontane and I love

783
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 4: hearing that from Obo Gerrod because with this offseason he

784
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: signed here at thought to be a starter. Oh wait,

785
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 4: they go get Zadarius Smith, and it'd be easy to say, well,

786
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 4: I thought I was gonna get all these snaps. I

787
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 4: thought I'd get all this time. But you heard him

788
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 4: there say these guys are gonna make me look good.

789
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: And the excitement you could hear from Obo, and just

790
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 4: to have that mentality, I think is a really strong thing,

791
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: because the same thing the team goes out now and

792
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: brings in Shelby Harris to help with this defensive line,

793
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: and you want the best players on the field. Sometimes

794
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: it can cut into your snapcount, but it seems like

795
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: that that d line room knows that this is a

796
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: group that has been revamped and they expect big things

797
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: out of each other.

798
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 6: Right, and your mindset has to be, you know what,

799
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 6: they don't switch out and.

800
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 7: Swap out offensive line. They stay in the whole game.

801
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 6: So whyle Zyzdarius and Miles is wearing these guys out

802
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 6: on the rush inside of things.

803
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 7: Guess what I'm coming in fresh.

804
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: I'm coming in motivated and enthusiastic, and I don't have

805
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 6: a bad attitude about the situation. And because you're right, Matt,

806
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 6: he could have taken the perspective of hey, man, I

807
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 6: thought I was gonna be starting. He brought me here

808
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 6: from a Texans what's the deal here? But his perspective

809
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 6: is exactly right, his attitude, his earas you hear through

810
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 6: the interview, that's exactly what you want on this football

811
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 6: team to change the culture, and guys being selfless and

812
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 6: not making it about them and being selfish but understanding

813
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: that Hey, as long as I when I do get

814
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 6: in and irect shop, that's only going to help the team.

815
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 7: That's gonna help me in as well.

816
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: So I love that, and I also love what he

817
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,239
Speaker 6: said Matt in regards to winning yesterday and holding their

818
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 6: own today but kind of getting he was honest about it.

819
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 6: They kind of dealt with us today and it's just

820
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 6: day one. It's built over time. It's a process, but

821
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 6: it means doing things right day after day after day.

822
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 6: And it sounds like they're preaching that and also trying

823
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 6: to express it.

824
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I also just think it takes a second

825
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: to step back and almost pinch myself to understand what

826
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: Andrew Barry and his team did to this D line.

827
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 4: You could have just said, yeah, we signed Obo Okronco

828
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,959
Speaker 4: and Dalvin Tomlinson. Oh wait, then we went guys Adaria Smith.

829
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 4: Oh wait, now we went and got Shelby Harris, Oh wait,

830
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: we drafted Siaki Ika to come in here, and just

831
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 4: completely overhaul that and knowing that there are guys like

832
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 4: Tommy Togii and Jordan Elliott and you know, unfortunately Thomas

833
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 4: and Alex Right are injured right now, but speedy recoveries,

834
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 4: they'll get back to get back in the mix. But

835
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: just to see the investment from this team to say, hey,

836
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 4: this D line, we're bringing in competition, We're bringing in

837
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 4: guys that are gonna help us Mohurst, Tristan Hill. It's

838
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 4: a group that I'm really genuinely excited to see you

839
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 4: a who makes the squad and what it looks like

840
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 4: and be what they can do this season.

841
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, and think of at you took on one of

842
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 6: the better offensive lines in the National Football League and

843
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 6: you gave him the business.

844
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 7: Now that was yesterday.

845
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 6: A different thing happened today, and that's to be expected

846
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 6: because they're not You can't be the best offense, one

847
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 6: of the best offensive lines along with ours in the

848
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 6: National Football League and not expect these guys and con

849
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 6: with the attitude of you got me, I'm gonna get

850
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 6: you today. Now, I can't wait till we get to

851
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 6: the place to where we dominate you back to back

852
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 6: to back and then we just pretty much finish you

853
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 6: off and there is no hope for you.

854
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 7: But that's the process to get there as well.

855
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 4: And we've heard it from some of the Browns tackles

856
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 4: themselves when they go against Miles Garrett and they say,

857
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 4: when I practice against Miles, I know more often than

858
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: not it's gonna be easier in the game because that's

859
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 4: how good he is. And I hope the Browns d

860
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: line facing the Eagles like they have over the last

861
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: couple of days, to say, hey, when I'm going up

862
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 4: against Lane Johnson and Travis Jason Kelce, these are some

863
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: of the best at what they do, and if I

864
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 4: can hold my own against them, I'm gonna be able

865
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: to do pretty good against everybody else around the league. Well,

866
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 4: speaking around the league, drop, let's take a peek around

867
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 4: the NFL, and last couple of days it's been all

868
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 4: the running back position, as both Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin

869
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 4: Cook have found their new homes. Cook course going to

870
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: the Jets, Zeke to your former team, the New England Patriots. So, Drad,

871
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 4: I'll ask you who are you more intrigued by to see?

872
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 4: Is it Zeke going to New England or is it

873
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: Dalvin Cook going to the Jets?

874
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 6: This guy'd be Zeke to New England? Right, that's just one.

875
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 6: Can he revigorate galvanize his career? Can he get back

876
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 6: to a place to where he once was?

877
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Bill and I saw this from James White,

878
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 4: longtime Patriots running back, and he said Bill has always

879
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 4: loved Zeke Elly, had always wanted Zeke Allen. I would

880
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: imagine that he probably fits the kind of guy kind

881
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 4: of running back Bill.

882
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 6: Like, oh, runs with power, runs with presents, with his

883
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 6: pads is the best way to put it. And if

884
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 6: he can, and Bill has done this before. If you

885
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 6: look at guys who were supposed to be washed up,

886
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 6: done and finished with their careers and Bill got to him,

887
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 6: they had a revitalization of their career. And I can

888
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 6: see that happen with Zeke. So I'm more intrigued by that.

889
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 6: With the Jets and what's going on there, I mean

890
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 6: they got Hall Breize Hall already.

891
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: That's I was a little confused by that too.

892
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 6: So it's just like Adam, I get it, though, why

893
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 6: not add to your arsenal if you have the money

894
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 6: to do it. Thankfully to Aaron Rodgers for Jets Brass

895
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 6: that he provided that thirty five million dollars to help

896
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 6: out with the salary. But no, I'm much intrigued by

897
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 6: ken Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott get back to the former form

898
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 6: that he once had, at least get close to it,

899
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 6: because what we saw for the past couple of years

900
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 6: has not been that impressive.

901
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 4: The other thing of the rookie quarterbacks. So it came

902
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 4: out today that Anthony Richardson will be the starting quarterback

903
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: for the Indianapolis Colts. We know that Bryce Young already

904
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 4: named the starter in Carolina, and we all but assume

905
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 4: that it will be CJ. Stroud down there in Houston.

906
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: So the three top quarterbacks taken, all getting their chance

907
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 4: to start for their respective teams. And it's one of

908
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 4: the age old questions in the NFL girod when you

909
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 4: have a top drafted quarterback, do you play them or

910
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 4: do you sit them? And there are guys that you

911
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: could look at Mahomes and Rogers, that's sad, and it

912
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 4: worked out. There are guys like Herbert and Burrow that

913
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: played right away and it kind of worked out. I

914
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 4: think it'd be so hard to be a team to

915
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 4: have a top pick like that and then to not

916
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: play the quarterback and not at least see what they have.

917
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 4: But also what sometimes people forget and I know you

918
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 4: know this too, it's the individual player that player handle

919
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 4: that is that something that is actually in the best

920
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 4: interest for this individual player, not just quarterback X that

921
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 4: was drafted at X position. It's sitting down and getting

922
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 4: to know these players to say, hey, can you handle this?

923
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 4: And obviously for the Colts. They feel like Anthony Richardson can,

924
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 4: they feel like it Bryce Young can, and I'm assuming CJ.

925
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 4: Stroud will get it done down there in Houston.

926
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 7: These guys are all.

927
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 6: At first, I was gonna poopoo the whole thing and

928
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 6: be like, these guys have no business playing because they're

929
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 6: on bad teams and in bad situations. Hence when they

930
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 6: got picked so high in the draft, and that's like

931
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 6: the worst case scenario for you far as their career

932
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 6: concervas are may because essentially what will more likely happen

933
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 6: is two or three years from now, a coach will

934
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 6: be replaced and the front office will be replaced and

935
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 6: they'll be trying to replace you with their own picks.

936
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 7: But the saving grace for these guys as.

937
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 6: A following, they're all three of them in the worst

938
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 6: divisions in the National Football League.

939
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 7: That's the saving grace.

940
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 6: So they're not playing against the AFC North or the

941
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 6: NFC See East. They don't see that gauntlet of a

942
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 6: type of a schedule because of the division.

943
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 7: Opponents aren't that good right now.

944
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 6: So actually I take back what I was going to say, because,

945
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 6: for example, with Richardson, they were touting the draft. He's

946
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 6: a development, he's a project. We're not gonna put him

947
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 6: in there.

948
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 4: I thought, he said today he was shocked by it.

949
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, I thought, I really.

950
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 6: In the draft, well, we took this guy because of

951
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 6: the potential talent. Now he's gonna be a starter, and

952
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure at this stage of his career he's

953
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 6: not bating the minchew.

954
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 7: But I get it again, they're in the AFC South. Now.

955
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 6: Granted there have been times before we said Okay, this

956
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 6: division sucks, and they find themselves with three teams in

957
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 6: the playoffs.

958
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 7: You never know, but it.

959
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 6: Looks like to be that the NFC South and the

960
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 6: AFC South are gonna be dismal for a while into

961
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 6: these young guys, mature ast quarterbacks. So I think it's

962
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 6: actually gonna work out because of the fact again at

963
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 6: least for four games to six.

964
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 7: Games, they can actually see some not so good opponents.

965
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 4: That will happen. Fans Brown's needier help picking the field

980
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 4: I'm at Fontana filling in tonight for Nathan Zigura. He

981
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 4: is grod Cher on the Kevin Stefanski Show, and his

982
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 4: time for a little stock up step up. As we

983
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 4: enter preseason game number three and drive you kind of

984
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 4: said you might have the same answer, So I'm gonna

985
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 4: go first on my stock up. We'll do stock up,

986
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: then step up and see because I think stock up

987
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 4: for me, I'm actually gonna go with Austin Watkins wide receiver.

988
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 4: There was a video catch of him today. It was

989
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 4: pretty impressive. Had the touchdown. I think he's starting to

990
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: turn a few adds now that wide receiving room is

991
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: borderline stacked, and as people start writing down, okay, who's

992
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: making the team and starting to fill up positions there.

993
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's quite a position, but Droddy

994
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 4: keeps playing the way that he is, he gonna force

995
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 4: himself onto this roster. So I think stock up right

996
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 4: now for Austin.

997
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 7: Well, he's certainly one of my candidates.

998
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 6: And if ever I have any doubts about whether or

999
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 6: not I know this business, if I know this sport,

1000
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 6: I can honestly say Matt identified him at Greenbrier and

1001
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 6: saw its like that this kid's got something and he's

1002
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 6: done nothing but proving me right since then.

1003
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 7: So I agree with you on that.

1004
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 6: But I also added offensive lineman because the fact that

1005
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 6: Dwan Jones has found himself taken.

1006
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 7: He went from being four for fiftring in the depth.

1007
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 6: Chart far as the right offensive tackles concerned, to now

1008
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 6: he's getting first team reps because of the fact that

1009
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 6: Conklin has been now due to a concussion. So that

1010
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 6: right there just speaks volumes of stock being can you

1011
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 6: stop get any higher? All of a sudden you find

1012
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 6: yourself getting one reps.

1013
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 4: I loved it. Brian Balding or does all these breakdowns?

1014
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 4: He said, Duan Jones has the wingspan of a manta rain.

1015
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: I don't know why I found that so funny like,

1016
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 4: but it does. He's just so big and you watch

1017
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 4: him and I just think the development the Bill Callahan

1018
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 4: Scott Peters factor in there can't be overstated. My step

1019
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 4: up is a guy that has stepped up, but I

1020
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 4: need him even more. I was gutted to see Jacob

1021
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 4: Phillips go down with another season well on ir Peck injury. Again,

1022
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 4: I was really high on Jacob Phillips. I was a

1023
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 4: big fan of his. He's down drop. My step up

1024
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 4: has got to be Jordan Kanashik because with Anthony Walker

1025
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 4: coming back from the quad injury, Kanashik's gonna take that

1026
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 4: mic position over and be in the middle. And again,

1027
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 4: I think Jordan has been stepping up. Jim Schwartz has

1028
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: called him out before for the work that he's done.

1029
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 4: But now that that you do, that linebacker position was

1030
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 4: already a little decimated. I'm gonna need a little bit

1031
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 4: more on Jordan.

1032
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 6: Right, and let's add to that far as the step

1033
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 6: ups concerning that, Jordan's gonna have to also be a

1034
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 6: star wars on special teams, and he's gonna have to

1035
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 6: be the guy who's an anchor in that as well.

1036
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 6: So not just with his linebacker duties, but we're gonna

1037
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 6: ask him to also be a standout as well in

1038
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 6: that position because it's so important. We cannot forget people

1039
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 6: three phase game, it's so important. But my step up

1040
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 6: is actually a guy who had a good game, good

1041
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 6: practice yesterday.

1042
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 7: Made some plays.

1043
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 6: Take it to the playing field, and that's Anthony Sports.

1044
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 6: Those big plays that you had in won on ones,

1045
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 6: those catches that you make, take it to Thursday night

1046
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 6: and do something to help your cause. Far as making

1047
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 6: this football team.

1048
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 4: And speaking of making the football team, Drove, we know

1049
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 4: how important Thursday night will be. Where a lot of

1050
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 4: the starters, some of the reserves aren't gonna play. This

1051
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 4: is maybe your final chance to grab some eyes of

1052
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 4: front office people whither it be here in other organizations,

1053
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 4: and there's gonna be a lot of guys out there

1054
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 4: fighting for roster spots for here, for somewhere else. We'll

1055
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 4: have to see. But I'm really excited for Thursday night.

1056
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 4: The Eagles are a good team, even though it'd be

1057
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 4: a lot of their backups. It'll be a great challenge

1058
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 4: for the Cleveland Browns coming up Thursday night as they

1059
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,560
