1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Do you sit back and kind of shake your head saying,

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be calling plays and you know, for the

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: first time this year, and of course it's Cleveland. Yeah

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: that's kind of, um, kind of ironic, but um, you know,

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: really it's it's the next game. It truly is just

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: the next game. It could have happened. Uh uh. You

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: know we've kind of prepared for this throughout the year

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: in training camp and things like that. So, um, it's

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: just kind of the next game, and it just how

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: happens that. Um, you know, we had a guy go

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: down this year or this week and followed to that,

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: are you still going to do the tight ends or

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: somebody taking that over? Well, we have a plan as

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: a staff, uh you know what we're how we're organizing

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: things and and stuff like that. So I've had Bobby

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Black has kind of been my assistant all year and

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: and he knows, uh, everything that's going on in the

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: tight end room on a daily basis, so um, you

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: know he'll do more of that during the game. Keep Hey, Freddy,

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: how's it going man? Good? How about you? Good? Just

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: two quick ones for you. You've watched Baker Mayfield this

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: year a little bit I'm sure. How what's you know,

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: the biggest for instant improvement in his game that you've

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: seen going into this week? And second, with Jason testing positive,

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: what's your level of concern with how close you guys

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: interact on a daily basis. Well, to answer your first question,

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest thing that Baker is doing

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: a great job of is protecting the football, and that's

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: where it starts. At that position. Uh, as far as

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Jason's concerned, UM, you know, we knew what we were

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: getting into when we begin this year. Of course, you're

32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: always concerned, but you try to do the things necessary

33
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: and the things that are in your control of, um,

34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: you know everything everybody else is trying to wear a mask.

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Uh you know, stay six ft away, um, for an

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: extended period of time. Uh, wash your hands constantly, you know,

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: all those sort of things. So after you do all

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: those things, and it's and then it's up to the

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Good Lord after that. So, uh, you know That's how

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: I'll answer that question. Was I overly concerned? No? I

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: wasn't answer your question, Matt, just simply, um, just because

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: I feel like we all try to do everything on

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: a daily basis to to to limit that. Hey, Freddie, Um,

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: obviously a lot has happened. It's the last time. I'm

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: sure you didn't expect to have to talk to us

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: again this week, but uh, I'm just one of What

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: has the last like eight hours kind of been like

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: for you? Because it's obviously a unique situation and so

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: like what I mean, what was your reaction to Jason

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: getting in and finding out you're been calling plays? Like,

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: what is the last day or two have been like

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: for you? Well, it truly has just been kind of

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: what we normally do. You know. It's just, uh, nothing

54
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: will truly change until we get the Sunday. Um. You know,

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Jason is still in the zoom meetings with us and

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: and things like that. So really, at the end of

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: the day, on a on a weekly basis, our game planning,

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: uh for practice for the games. Uh, it's really a

59
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: group effort and which it should be. And um, you know,

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: so let's continue. Nothing's really changed, um, except for Sunday. Hey, Freddy, Uh,

61
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: how would you describe Freddy Kitchens to play color the

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: mentality of you when you call places? Oh I don't Jordan,

63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I don't get into like um self descriptions of of

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: things I do and stuff like that. I'm just I

65
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: kind of just do try to do the best I

66
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: can for the team, for our staff, for our players, uh,

67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and try the best of my ability to try to

68
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: put players in position to make plays. And then it's

69
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: up to you just kind of want do you just

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: kind of wanna you know, move forward and continue on

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: the path that Jason has been going, or are you

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: going to add a few little wrinkles knowing that you

73
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: operate differently maybe a little bit in game. Um, now, Jordan,

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: you really ain't. We would say we would talk about

75
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: that right now. I mean, you're not giving specifics, are you.

76
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Nothing's changing with our offense. You know, our offense is

77
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: our offense, and we're just trying to execute on a

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: consistent basis. Uh, truly, And I couldn't be any more

79
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: truthful than that. I'll leave Jordan's wanting like inside secrets though, No,

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I wanted it very generally. That's that's what I wanted.

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Inside secrets. I'll take them by the way Friday. There's

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: also the uh situation of which quarterback you're gonna have?

83
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: All right? Do you have to draw two different game

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: plans for that? Or do you without telling us the secrets.

85
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Do you kind of already know who you're gonna be

86
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: working with on s Well, we don't. I let I

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: let coach judge handle all that stuff. I don't even

88
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't even try to pretend I'm the next purd

89
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: in that area. I don't even pretend that to have

90
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the answers to play color. Does anything change for you

91
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: with whichever guy is the quarterback? Well? I think, um

92
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, again, you just try to put your players,

93
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: whoever those players are, in position to make plays and

94
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: and try to keep them in the best position possible

95
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: to do that. Um So, whoever is in there, that's

96
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. Freddy, do you think that

97
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: you have any particular insight into the grounds that will

98
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: help on Sunday? You know, there's a you know, I

99
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: think references the other day. There's no two teams the same,

100
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: so there's a there's a lot of guys that were

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: there when I was there, but there's also a significant

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: number that aren't. Um So you know, of course the

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: ones that were there I know a little bit more

104
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: about than I would if I wasn't there. So, uh,

105
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that you you gain your tremendous advantage

106
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: of that. I guess what I'm asking is, you know,

107
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: obviously in the game plan that that comes together, but

108
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: when you're actually calling the plays, are you how how

109
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: a where are you up of the pieces on the

110
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: field and and and how they match up in those situations? Well, Tom,

111
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I would say you do that every week. Uh, you

112
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: know you you want to make sure you you, um

113
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of have a plan for their good players and

114
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: and you have U you know you offensively can uh

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: do play to your strengths and maybe some of our

116
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: weaknesses which I don't know how many weaknesses they have,

117
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: not too many, but um, you know, so you do

118
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: that on a weekly basis, no matter who you're playing.

119
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think anything's changing this week just

120
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: because it's Cleveland, you know, uh and just because I

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: was there last year. You know, you still do the

122
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: same thing. You evaluate to fam. You you try to

123
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: see what as the staff. You try to come up

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: with a plan that gives you the best chance to

125
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: to be successful. Thank you, we'll we'll take two more.

126
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Kim Joe's Hey, Freddie, it's Kim. Um. A week after

127
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Arizona had eight sacks against you. How much of a

128
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: priority is it to clean some of that up with

129
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and company, you know coming to town. Well, Uh,

130
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: protecting the ball and protecting the quarterback, uh is of

131
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: the utmost of importance for us. Uh as in any offense. Um,

132
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: that's where it all starts and and a lot of

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: times those two things go hand in hand. So of

134
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: course it's always a priority for us. But you know,

135
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland's very good up front, and the better you are

136
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: up front, the more difficult that is. So um, so

137
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: we've got to do a good job of putting these

138
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: guys in position to to be successful. Thanks last one here,

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Pat Linnard. Ready just a process. Ques like when halftime

140
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: comes into the game on Jason allowed to like zoom

141
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: it from his couch and talk to you guys about

142
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: like I really don't know you you know, I don't

143
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: know that we've gotten that are down the road yet. Um.

144
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: You know, this is such a strange time uh for everyone.

145
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: So some of the little intricacies of the rules and

146
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but I wouldn't think that that would

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: be allowed with the the you know, the electronics protocol

148
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: that the NFL, you know, emphasizes, emphasizes on on a

149
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: weekly basis. You know, you can't wear an Apple watch

150
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: on the field, so I don't know how how they

151
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: would look at that, you know,
