1 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: And we welcome you into the best podcast available. Training 2 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: Camp addition episode number three Sunday, August, the practiced moved 3 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: up this morning to ten am and frankly, I'm a 4 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: big fan. I think the rest of us are fairly 5 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: big fans as well. It was nice and cool, It 6 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: was nice and breezy, and we were off the field 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: before the storms and the rain moved in Gribbs. Glad 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: to see you as always, UM A busy day. Not 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: only do we have practice today, the final of two 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: O T A type practices. UH coach talked, Mac Wilson talked, 11 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: Joe Betonio talked. Will get your reaction to them here 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: just a second, But first and foremost are owners. Jimmy 13 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: and Di Haslem talked with the media, and actually we 14 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: just got done hearing from the Haslum's UH. Your takeaways 15 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: from what the owners had to say in their annual UH. 16 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: I guess it's a state of the team. It's not 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: an address so much as it's a Q and A 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: with the media, But your takeaways from what the houseland 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: has had to say today. I think first thing, they 20 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: made it clear that they feel like a lot of 21 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: us and that they missed the people here at at 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: the training camp, and it's the fans. Obviously there's thousands 23 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: of those, but clearly have way less Brownze employees, way 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: less media. I mean, it's just a lot less people, 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: uh in in the area. And it was that's always 26 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: made training camp unique even growing up here. I mean, 27 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: you see thousands of people coming to watch a team practice. 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: It's not like that everywhere else. And I think that 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: that's what makes the Browns kind of a special franchise 30 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: and I think they know that and in their years 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: of owning the team, So that was one thing they 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: made clear. The second thing is that it still appears 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: to be a bit of a holding pattern with kind 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: of figuring out just how many fans, uh if any, 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: are going to be allowed in the stadium this year. 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: And as as Jimmy said it, it's gonna be evolving 37 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: and flexible. And I think that they know that their 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: plan is is thorough and they've they've put a task 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: force together to to to get it in front of 40 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: the important people. But ultimately, as they acknowledge, they know 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: it's out of their hands. I think this is uh 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: something that's going to go up to the state government level, 43 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: UH and and come down to the city government level 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: as well, And clearly you want to be have as 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: many people in there as possible, but you also wanted 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: to be safe and you don't want to have a 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: football game to either reason for for this this pandemic 48 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: to get any worse. So I think that there's a 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: lot that still needs to be figured out. And you, 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: as we've learned through this pandemic, what what you know now, 51 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: it can be completely different three weeks from now, So 52 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: I think the Browns have about a month to work 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: with hopefully you get some clarity on this in a 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and then just in general, outside of 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: the pandemic stuff, I think that they clearly just feel 56 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: good with their set up right now. I mean, this 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: would be such a more maybe upbeat conversation if if 58 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: we weren't dealing with a pandemic right now, because I 59 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: think they feel good with the moves they've made, the 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: players they've acquired, most importantly the GM and coach they've hired. 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: And I think that was evident in hearing them top today. Yeah, 62 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: I think the what they had to say about Baker 63 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Mayfield and more importantly D's relationship with Odell Beckham jr. Uh. 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: We we got to hear a little bit from her 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: about how comfortable he is, and he he had a 66 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: conversation with her where he said, I'm really comfortable, I'm 67 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: settled into my home. I feel good like And it 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: goes to show again what we've been hearing all off 69 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: season is he's really getting settled in. He's healthy, and 70 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: it's one of those situations where he's ready to play 71 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: and we'll get to the top players of the day, 72 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: but today was Odell day from a from a practice standpoint, 73 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: but just the comfort level not just that they have 74 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: with the players, but also the nice and the great 75 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: things that we all know from working in the building. 76 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: But what Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski and even Paul 77 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: de Podesta have done to stabilize this franchise. Yeah, and 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: I thought that their their remarks about burying Stefanski, the 79 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: most almost humorous thing was Jimmy was just like, both 80 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: of them are really calm, and I think that's that's 81 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: what you need in these situations, and that's what we've 82 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: kind of experienced in our dealings with them. There's just 83 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: not not a lot that's gonna, you know, make them 84 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: frazzled or waiver. And that's why they've just been able 85 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: to kind of carefully make a lot of different plans. 86 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's been thousands of more plans that we 87 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 1: haven't seen come together, because when you're planning, you obviously 88 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: have multiple options and and they're going with what they're 89 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: able to do. And I thought today was a good 90 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: example of that. I think that they they had to 91 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: make a decision to really throw off the schedule on 92 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: your second day of practice, which you want these guys 93 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: to get into routine. Football players are creatures of habit. 94 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: You want everything to be the same. But they had 95 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: to kind of rearrange everything today to accommodate the weather 96 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: because right now you really don't have a field house. 97 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: Even when you did have a field house, practice isn't 98 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: the same. When you just have one short field. You 99 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: have to really change things. So, uh, they were they 100 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: were writing their decision, they would not have been able 101 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: to practice today probably at their normal time. So they 102 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: got in a good productive chess session. And it was 103 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: the flexibility and adaptability that we just keep hearing about 104 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: throughout this thing, all right, So that's some takeaways from 105 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: the Haslums before they talked. Kevin Stefanski talked Mack Wilson, 106 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: and of course Joel Betonio, and you know, Gribbs, you 107 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: you talked about it on Friday and you're what to 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: watch for coming up on Sunday, and you said, I 109 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: want to see what this team looks like after a 110 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: day off. And some of the previous prior coaches that 111 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: were part of this franchise, uh lamented frequently that after 112 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: a day off the guys were a little sluggish and 113 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: not the greatest coach right off the bat said, a 114 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: much better effort today. Still some sloppiness, still some things 115 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: to work on, but a much better effort coming off 116 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: of a day off. He said. Maybe it's because of 117 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: the weather, it was beautiful outside, but a much better effort. 118 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: Did you see that today? You know? Honestly, I'll be honest, 119 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: I thought Friday's effort looked all right, So I didn't. 120 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 1: From my vantage point, it looked, Uh, it looked about 121 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: the same, to be honest, but uh, he obviously has 122 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: a more nuanced view of of of what he's seeing 123 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: out there. I did think there was a period or 124 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: two in particular where you could see the the energy 125 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: and intensity level up, and I think that the the 126 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest moment of practice was when Kevin Johnson 127 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: made a pass break up near the sidelines just lit 128 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: the defense on fire. They were going nuts. And then 129 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: the next play he kind of gets in a bit 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: of a scrap with Donovan People's jones, and I think 131 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: that's it was. It was really nothing and it and 132 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: it kind of went away after maybe two seconds. It 133 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: was just a play that went a little bit beyond 134 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: the whistle. But that's that's good to see during during 135 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: an O t A type practice. I mean that the 136 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: players are engaged, and I think from from from my 137 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: you know, armchair psychologist standpoint, I think these guys have 138 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: been cooped up for four or five months and they 139 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: just seemed genuinely excited to be playing the sport they love. 140 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: And I think that that's that's been something I think 141 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: that stood out to me a little bit, is that 142 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: the guys just seem very excited to be out there. 143 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: As Betonio mentioned, you know, you go through all these 144 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: protocols all day, but you really once you're out there, 145 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: you're not really thinking about it too much. And even 146 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: though clearly there's still even protocols in plays on the 147 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: field to make things a little bit different. But I 148 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: think that the energy and enthusiasm hasn't lacked despite kind 149 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: of just everything else being totally weird. YEP, I would agree. 150 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: I thought Friday, like you, I came away from Friday 151 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: going for a first practice o t A style. I 152 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: thought it went pretty well. I thought coach maybe saw 153 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: it a different way, obviously, and that's why he gets 154 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: paid the big bucks, and that's why we're doing a podcast. Um. 155 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, uh, he said 156 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: he enjoyed the effort today. I thought it was a 157 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: much better effort, So that's a good thing. Um. He 158 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: had high praise for Joel Betony, and from all indications, 159 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: there are a lot of expectations for Joel Mantonio, not 160 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: only on the field, uh and rightfully so, being that 161 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: he's a pro Bowl guard, but also off the field 162 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: as it pertains to helping to develop Jedderick Wills. And 163 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: Joel also had a couple poignant comments when he talked 164 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: to the media today about the sense of urgency that 165 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: was needed to get Jedderick Wills up to speed in 166 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: an off season where the rookies really couldn't progress the 167 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: way that they normally would. Yeah, and I think Joel 168 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: is in a unique situation. They sandwiched by two rookies 169 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: right now on the offensive line, after two rookies who 170 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: did not have an off season program on the field 171 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: at least, And I think clearly we were of the 172 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: belief in the hope that j. C. Trader is going 173 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: to be back in time for the start of the season, 174 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: but clearly Jendrick Wills that's where he's gonna be, and 175 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: they need him to be as good as possible and 176 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: and ready to go h Day one against Baltimore. I 177 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: think that he's clearly going to get better as the 178 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: season goes on, but you need him to be at 179 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: a level that is acceptable to to keep to do 180 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: what you want to do against one of the best 181 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: teams in football. So I think that he's played with 182 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: a lot of different left tackles, uh since Joe Thomas 183 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: are retired. I think that clearly Jendrick Wols brings the 184 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: big the best pedigree so far of those guys that 185 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: he's lined up against. And I think he's a believer 186 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: and what he can do and I think it's gonna 187 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: be interesting to see that relationship kind of evolved here. 188 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm confident in genderic goals. I think pa Tonio ultimately 189 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: is as well. But he's been in his shoes before 190 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: and knows that whatever he faced as a rookie, says 191 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: in fourteen has been kind of the difficulty level has 192 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: been escalated quite a bit because Joel was kind of 193 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: out there sandwich between two. I would think I always 194 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: say I have to say to Hall of Famers that 195 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: that are that that were out there, and I think 196 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: that's that's a decent place to be as opposed to 197 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: or Jendrick. He's out there with Joel, who's really good, 198 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: but he's out on an island there at left tackle. Yeah, 199 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to be done. I think 200 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: all parties acknowledge, but they also acknowledge we've got a month. 201 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: We've got time to get everybody up to speed. I 202 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: think that was key today. Um yeah, there's a sense 203 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: of urgency, but there they also know they have time 204 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: on their side. They don't have preseason games, and I 205 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: think when you look at the schedule when it comes 206 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: to preseason games, I mean usually you're having a walk 207 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: through the day before the game. Yeah, you play the game, 208 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: but then you're off the next day. Like there, it's 209 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: it's a three day swing there, whereas right now with 210 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: no preseason games, I mean, you're gonna have five straight 211 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: days of practices here. Today's started five straight days before 212 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: the next player off day on Friday, and you're not 213 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: taking time out for walkthroughs and slowing down days. It is. 214 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: It is two hours every day of hard practice and 215 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: then meetings and everything that you need to do to 216 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: get these guys the reps that they need to hopefully 217 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: be ready for September thirteen. Yeah, it'll be interesting because 218 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: it'll be especially interesting for the veterans who tend to 219 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: not play much in the preseason, because I think that's 220 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: where it's going to be really different for them because 221 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: they're usually they're definitely the team in general usually is 222 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: de escalating by this portion of training camp or a 223 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: little bit maybe down the road, whereas it's gonna maybe 224 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: hit its crescendo at like usually week three of the preseason, 225 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: where that's usually where you're really toning things down a 226 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: bit on the practice field. So it might be more 227 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: of an adjustment for the veterans than an Astley is 228 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: for some of these rookies because as Grant delpits at Friday, 229 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: he's never had a preseason game ever. So I mean 230 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: it's not like this is not that different for him. 231 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: He knows he's got to be ready to go Week 232 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: one no matter what without preseason games. So for the 233 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: rookies that they're obviously dealing with the degree of difficulty 234 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: of not having the off season program, but they're also 235 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: having the ignorance is bliss when it comes to the 236 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: differences in that what they're experiencing and build up to 237 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: the season. Yeah. The other guy that talks to the 238 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: media today, Mack Wilson, linebacker UM and Mac, was very 239 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: vocal today as it pertains to the criticism or the 240 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: disrespect that his linebacker room is feeling right now. Where 241 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people, a lot of national pundits, you know, 242 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: in the position rankings, they've got the Browns linebacking court 243 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: down towards the bottom, and Matt Wilson made it known 244 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: it is not going unnoticed. So there's a lot of 245 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: bulletin board material right now for that linebacker room. Uh, 246 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: a lot to prove. Frankly, they do have a lot 247 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: to prove, but there are some good players in there 248 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: and they want it known that they're not going to 249 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: be the so called weak link that some national people think. Yeah, 250 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: and I think it's obviously a good motivating factor. They 251 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: have plenty of bulletin wore material. But you know, I 252 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: think he knows this and we all know this, and 253 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: they ultimately just have to go out improve it. And 254 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: I think that that's that's that's not something you can 255 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: do even if you did have a preseason. No one's 256 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: gonna care if if you did well in the preseason. 257 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: But it's just it's gonna be a weekend, week out 258 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: thing during the season. So it's it's gonna be a 259 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: matter of first seeing who are the best three that 260 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: emerges as the starters at this group and then going 261 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: out and and not being I mean, frankly, first off, 262 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: step one, don't be a liability for the defense. Just 263 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: be a solid contributing part the linebacking corp. Be a 264 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: solid contributing part of this defense and doing their jobs 265 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: and that should be good enough, you know, really good 266 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: up front with the defensive line. Defensive backfield has got 267 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: some talented players. I think at the linebacker level. If 268 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: that group is just competent, is just solid, that's enough 269 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: to prove some people wrong who didn't believe in you. 270 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: But I think they obviously have bigger goals than that, 271 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: and that's good. But I think they just it's it's 272 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: good to see every group can pull some motivation. It 273 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: can be uh more difficult for the more elite you get, 274 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: the more creative you have to get with what motivates you. 275 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: For the linebacking court, it's kind of out there playing 276 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: and simple. They know what they need to do to 277 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: prove people wrong and it's out there in front of 278 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: him now and they just have to go do it. 279 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: Interesting thoughts from or comments from him. He's been at 280 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: the will linebacker spot, but Joe Woods and his position 281 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: coaches have said every linebacker spots open enough for grabs, 282 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: but he is taking most of his snaps at will. Yeah, 283 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: I mean. And if I'm like ranking who I think 284 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: is most likely to be starting in day one, I'm 285 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm probably putting Mac Wilson number one in that just 286 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: he played. He was a starter every game last season 287 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: outside of the first couple, and he played almost every snap, 288 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: And I just think that alone gives him an edge 289 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: over most of the guys in that group, and so 290 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: I think he's in a great spot. But it's good 291 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: to hear a player who's in that good spot not 292 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: view it that way. And I think that'll that'll that 293 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna carry over motivation wise. I I like the 294 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: fact that he talked to Takio Spikes during the off season. 295 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: You know which is you know, if you know Alabama, 296 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: that's the house divided right there between Alabama and an 297 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: Auburn guy getting together and talking and they worked with 298 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: other NFL linebackers this offseason to try to get better. 299 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: So clearly a motivated guy has had the chip on 300 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: his shoulders since he was a fifth ronge pick UH 301 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: in the draft last year. So it was good to 302 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: hear from him. And I think that he's gonna have 303 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: a pretty big role in this defense this year. Yeah, 304 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot going to be expected from Mack Wilson at 305 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: that linebacker spot. All right, let's move on to today 306 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: and practice going into the day. Obviously moved up because 307 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: of the weather. Damien Ratley working off to the side 308 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: today along with Miles Garrett. Obviously j C. Treader out today, UH. 309 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: The team right before practice started, signing center Casey donne 310 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: Uh finished two thousand nineteen on the Saints practice squad. 311 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: Also played in a couple of games for Washington and 312 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: then per Tom Pella Sero on Saturday and his notable 313 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: tryouts tweet veteran guard Ronald Leary and center Joey Hunt. 314 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: Also we're in the tryout reportedly for the Cleveland Browns, 315 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: but the Browns picking up another center and Gribbs. It 316 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: goes back to you don't want your starters burning out, 317 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: and right now, Nick Harris is your starter, but you 318 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: don't need him burning out. Um and overdoing it with 319 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: the snap count too here in this quote preseason. Yeah, 320 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: and it think it's also a chain reaction of the 321 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: guys you lost to opt out. I mean a couple 322 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: of your guys who are centers, like Lillie right, he's 323 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: probably playing some guard right now. So you just need 324 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: some bodies at these at these spots, and you know 325 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: you want to bring it. You don't want to have 326 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: someone who you believe is going to be a guard 327 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: in the season lose reps at that position because you 328 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: need someone to snap the ball. I think that's that's 329 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: what this comes down to so not a surprise to 330 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: to see the team kind of. I think they're now 331 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: maybe there's still maybe back to the level they were 332 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: at after losing all the opt out guys at the 333 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: position from a body standpoint, but then then you lose 334 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: JC Treder, so that that knocks you down another one. 335 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: So it's it's a much more difficult and tedious process 336 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: to even get guys into your building and go through tryouts, 337 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: So you gotta be it's almost like you could maybe 338 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: gather guys a little easier before, and now you have 339 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: to be even careful with who you're picking for tryouts 340 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: because you don't want to waste all the time and 341 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: resources that goes into it. So, uh, it's it's one 342 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: of those things that we'll see happen, just maybe not 343 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: a kind of a fast and furious pace it usually 344 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: happens at this time year. Yeah, they are definitely scouring 345 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. I think you gotta get a few bodies. 346 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: And Joe Thomas on Brown's Daily said it. You know, 347 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: you technically want to have up to fifteen offensive linemen 348 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: in here for camp. You want a full five, you 349 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: want a second full five, and then you want a 350 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: smattering of guys that you want to take a look 351 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: at that third team in case you need to give 352 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: veterans a day off and move everything around and move 353 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: guys up. So we are definitely not at that number 354 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: right now. So the task continues for Andrew Berry and 355 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: company as they continue to look for some more offensive linemen. Uh. 356 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: Takeaways from today's practice, I know we talked about a 357 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: much better effort. What else did you see out there today? Grips? 358 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: I just I mean it was more, it was very 359 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: similar to to the previous practice. I think one thing 360 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: that stood out to me and I just did a 361 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: lot of activity from all three of the Browns tight 362 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: ends what I swears seen Austin Hooper, David Njoku, Harrison 363 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: Bryant all making what I would consider fifteen to twenty 364 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: yard catches with the catch and run before really facing 365 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: much contact, so clearly and earlier and an often indicator 366 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: of what this this offense could look like. And you know, 367 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: as you mentioned at the top, I mean Odell Beckham 368 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: had a practice. I mean this was something where it's 369 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: just you didn't see this last year because he was 370 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: never really at wasn't really able to be as involved 371 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: as much as he was. Remember this time last year 372 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about wide receivers with the first team that 373 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: some didn't even make the team because you had guys 374 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: rotating in and out because of injuries. But this is 375 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: a good practice for Rodel and he's he's a talented player, 376 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: and he's and he's healthy, and I think that's that's 377 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: good to see. And and as you mentioned previously with 378 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: with Kevin Johnson, he's been active early on in practice 379 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: and he's clearly lined up as as probably that number 380 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: one option in the slot. And that makes you feel 381 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: good that your secondary at least at that top level 382 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: looks pretty locked in with Denzel Ward Greedy and Kevin 383 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: Johnson potentially there. So, uh, finding stability anywhere at this 384 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: part of camp is good because you don't want to 385 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: go into a camp with a lot of loose ends 386 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: where you're on a time crunch. So I think that's 387 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: that's been that's been good to see, and where you're 388 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 1: seeing some players at these top positions playing pretty well 389 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,239 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I'm ready for the pads to come on. 390 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: That's my takeaway. Okay, we're pay for them to move fields. Yeah, 391 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: I would like them to be a little closer. Yeah, 392 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: so we'll we'll, uh, I'll adjust my vantage point. I 393 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: had a little bit better site than last time, but 394 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: I'll take it. Wherever they want to work. We'll be 395 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: able to watch. But uh, maybe maybe it maybe a 396 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: field change in the future for pads days. Yeah, well 397 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: let's hope that's uh, that is indeed the case. All right, 398 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: So we have our top three players that we're gonna 399 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: point out every day and practice, uh, for better and 400 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: for worse whatever. The three guys that really stood out 401 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: to us obviously Number one, Odell Beckham Jr. Had quite 402 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: the day And you know you had mentioned last year 403 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: we and see it a lot. There were a couple 404 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: of times. I remember, I will never forget the two 405 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: minute drill that we ran in practice. It was it 406 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: was a day that it was a little sloppy and 407 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: at the end it was a hot day. It was 408 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: like a weekend day, and we ran a two minute 409 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: drill and it was bang bang bang Odell Jarvis O'Dell. Uh. 410 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: There might have been one other play and it was 411 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: touchdown and we all looked at each other and we 412 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: were like, okay, so they can do that whatever they want. 413 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: They can flip that switch on um. But O'Dell of 414 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: course got dinged up and you know, played hurt for 415 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But Odell today a couple 416 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: one handed snags, a couple of really good snags, diving 417 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: for balls all over the football field, A salad day 418 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: for him. Who else stood out to you? I mentioned 419 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: really I was almost ruining my surprise, But Kevin Johnson 420 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: just standing out to me a lot. I think him 421 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: and both Denzel Ward as well. I mean both of them. 422 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: Those guys are playing it at a high level. And 423 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: I've seen one person and I don't know how involved 424 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna be as a rookie, But every time I 425 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: watch it, I just look at a guy like Harrison 426 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: Brant and I think, like, this is a guy that 427 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: can play, and I just wonder what the two guys 428 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: in front of him, how realistic that's gonna be. But 429 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: I've just been more impressed with the way he moves 430 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: and the size, Like I just think he looks the 431 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: part of what you want that position. I know there's 432 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: there's really no position on the field that's more unforgiving 433 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: as a rookie than tight end. And I know it's 434 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: gonna take some time, but I just like the look 435 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: of the player and and how he kind of fits 436 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: and just the movement everything like that. I've just been 437 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: impressed every time I see him catch the ball. Alright, So, 438 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, we both had Kevin john we bought 439 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: I don't we both had Kevin Johnson. Uh. My third 440 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: guy that stood out to me Joe Joe Nansen was 441 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: really active today. I thought he was getting open. They 442 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: were finding ways to get him the football, some creative 443 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: things that they're working on, and just a guy that 444 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: I think can be used a lot of different ways. 445 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: Uh in this Kevin Stefanski offense, and got to see 446 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: a lot of him today and the young man did 447 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: not disappoint. So I know he's fighting for a spot. 448 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: I know that Trump, you know, special teams essentially is 449 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: what he's going to be asked to do more than 450 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: anything else. But I think there could be a role 451 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: in that wide receiver room for him. Yeah, TI Chicks. 452 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: He really wasn't asked to do much of that at 453 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: all with the Rands, and I mean they were loaded 454 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: at that position. I think the Browns obviously has some 455 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: very good receivers as well. But clearly a different body 456 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: type and different skill set with Joe Joe Natson than 457 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: the rest of that room. And you really do wonder 458 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: if this could be almost a rebirth for him as 459 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: a wide receiver because he hasn't he hasn't caught a 460 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: pass since he was with the Jets, So I mean it, 461 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: it'll be it would be interesting to see what kind 462 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: of role he carves out there, because I think beyond Jervis, Landry, 463 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: Nodell Beckham, it's really anyone's guests on how the rest 464 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: of that room fits in. Yeah, I would agree, Uh, 465 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot. There's a lot to watch in that 466 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: room and those guys, those if you're not the starting 467 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: wide receivers, there's gonna be a lot expected of you. 468 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: In case God forbid one of our top two go down. 469 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: I mean, we talk about how good our top two are. 470 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: What's that next level look like because guys get dinged up, 471 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: Guys might have to miss a quarter or missing, you know, 472 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: God forbid miss a game. How are guys gonna step 473 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: up into those roles? And that will be interesting to 474 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: watch here in the coming weeks. The pads come on tomorrow, 475 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: four straight days of practice before another day off five Overall, 476 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: what are you expecting, what are you looking forward to 477 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: seeing tomorrow here? I mean Monday, This day is always 478 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: one of our favorites that every year, and it'll just 479 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what what level you really ramp 480 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: it up to him that first day. And I think 481 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: that that's always the the interesting thing. Well, we'll see 482 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: how much you do with team periods, how active it 483 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: can be that way, I do think it keeping in mind, 484 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the reason that we are having this this 485 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: deliberate build up to the season is because you know, 486 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: the year that the NFL had its lockout with no offseason, 487 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: injuries won't way up. And I think that's gonna be 488 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: something that they're they're going to keep in mind. So 489 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect some kind of old school Bear Bryant 490 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: type practice on on Monday. I think you've got to 491 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: be careful. You need you've got enough things to worry 492 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: about about getting these guys all to the season. You've 493 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: got to get these guys this season. So I think 494 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: you've got to be physical when you need to. But 495 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: it's it's it's all part of a kind of a 496 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: careful process that so I would just put it that. Yep, 497 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: I would agree. I know that coach Davanski was asked 498 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: about it in this press or today. You're gonna tackle 499 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: to the ground, and so that remains to be seen. 500 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that we'll see that, but you never know. 501 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Maybe we see one period of it. But I really 502 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: think that, uh, it's going to be continuing to ramp 503 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: up and maybe things get a little more physical a 504 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: week from now when we're back on Saturday and on 505 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: day after that second player day off, I feel like 506 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: that could come into play as well. Looking forward to it. 507 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,959 Speaker 1: It will be a full week and we will be 508 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: with you after every practice, will start incorporating some players, 509 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: some coaches into into the program here and looking forward 510 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: to continuing to expand things as we as we try 511 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: to navigate ourselves where we're going and how we're getting 512 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: interviews and who we're talking to.
