Speaker 2: Hey.

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 4: We're almost into ot AS. Somebody, We're a week away

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: from OTAs and then mandatory mini camp. We've already got

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 4: like three weeks left of the of the off season program.

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: It has been there and gone. It's been quick.

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: There is no off season. Remember that there is no

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: off season. So here's what's happened.

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 4: This in the in the info that Kevin Stefanski's assistant

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: sends out from a scheduling standpoint, it is off season program.

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Yes, the OTA's off seat organized team activities right, off

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: season program. We'll get to that later, right, but they

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: are voluntary OTAs. Mandatory mini camp is in June. We'll

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: do that in a bit. When last we spoke, you

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and I were awkwardly standing on a field next to

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: each other, wearing hats and wrapping up day two. At

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: that point of rookie minicamp, there was a Day three,

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: a Sunday, media not there. I wasn't there. It was

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: Mother's Day, right, You were with your family. I was

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: with my family again, happy belated Mother's Day. And then

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: of course the hot takes about which rookie quarterback look better. Guys,

43
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: They both look good, they really did. They both look good.

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: And I said that last time. Nothing has changed since

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: they stepped off the field this past Sunday. So let's

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: forget about that for a second and let's talk about

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the schedule.

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: Gibbe, we have the schedule. What do you think, Buddy

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: number one? A little birdie had told me that Rammitt

50
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 4: was going to be coming to Cleveland for the preseason.

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: And boy, the Los Angeles Rams have to be going.

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: What did we do to deserve this? After we had

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: to go to Seattle a year ago? The Rams get

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: to come here for a ten am their time on

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: the West Coast kick for the final preseason game.

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: And for those who don't know, I worked with and

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: for the Rams for fourteen preseasons and all kinds of

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: other stuff in the community fourteen years. The Ramley as

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: we call it, is coming to town. And yes, a

60
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: little birdie with the Ramley did tell me that a couple.

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: Of weeks ago.

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: And give me I gave you the heads up on that. Look,

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: it's a preseason game. It's the third and final preseason game.

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I can tell you, having worked with Sean McVay for

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: many years, he is going to run the ball fifty

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: five times in that game. Perfect goal is to get

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: back to Hopkins as fast as humanly possible. Now, what

68
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: is Also interesting to your point about the long flight

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: is that in years past when the Rams have taken

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: a long road trip for a preseason game, it usually

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: involves a joint practice. A couple of years ago with

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: former assistant Zach Taylor, obviously head coach of the Bengals,

73
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: used to be oc with the Rams. We meeting the

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Rams when I was there, went to Cincinnati and spent

75
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: a couple of days, actually the same hotel we stayed

76
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: in last December, and had joint practices with the Rams.

77
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. With the Bengals, the surprised, Yes, the Frank

78
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: is Aaron Donald surprised. There is no joint practice. But

79
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: the Browns, as we know, are doing joint practices with

80
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers and the Eagles on our first two preseason

81
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: games before coming back home.

82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: To wrap it all up, you might as well just

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 4: come here spend the entire month of August, because you're

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: going to be in that You're gonna be in Philly,

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: you're going to be in Cleveland, and then it's a

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: whirlwind four or five weeks.

87
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: That is that is the plan. I'm moving there in August.

88
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: So perfect look for preseason is let's get out of that.

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: Let's get to the regular season schedule, and let's harken

90
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty three. This is a twenty twenty

91
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: three redo when it comes to week one. In Week eighteen,

92
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: you open at home with Cincinnati, you close on the

93
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: road at Cincinnati. Now, in twenty twenty three, that was

94
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: a Jeff Driscoll game that hey was in the bar

95
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: and the Browns are going to the playoffs after beating

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: the Jets on TNF after Christmas, so that game really

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: didn't mean much at all. David Bell got in the

98
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: end zone and fond memories. Had to get through that

99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: game healthy. That was the only concern ahead of the

100
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: eventual playoff loss in Houston. It's two with the division

101
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: to open Cincinnati at home, Baltimore on the road Week two,

102
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: and then to end the season it's home for Pittsburgh

103
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: on the twenty eighth, that's after Christmas Sunday, one o'clock,

104
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: and then the TBD because all Week eighteen games are

105
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: TBD at Cincinnati. So two with the division to open,

106
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: two with the Division to close. Obviously, give me. What

107
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: stands out to me is that fourteen of these seventeen

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: games are one o'clock games, there are no primetime games.

109
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: The Browns are one of three teams without a primetime game.

110
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: The others are the Titans, who are picking number one overall.

111
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Obviously we would have picked two overall without the trade

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville, the Titans, the Browns, and the New Orleans Saints,

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: who had been picking number nine overall. Now the Browns,

114
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: unlike those other two, have a standalone game. That standalone

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: game is London, which we knew. It is Week five,

116
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium against the Vikings.

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, I'm fine with it. I think the first

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 4: month and a half of the season is going to

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 4: test this football team. Yep, right off the get go.

120
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 4: I mean you're you're talking about the Bengals at home.

121
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Now.

122
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 4: The good news is, if I'm correct, the Bengals haven't

123
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: won a season opener since twenty twenty one.

124
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Correct, But the Browns no longer owned them at home

125
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: as had been the case.

126
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Usually I could.

127
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: Use a Miles Garrett crossover and then you know, you know.

128
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: Beat them week one in the rain, twenty three at home,

129
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly so.

130
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 4: But then on the road it home road, home road,

131
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 4: and then you know you can call it a home

132
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: game against Minnesota. But it's a road game, it's a

133
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: styke game.

134
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're.

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 4: And then you know there's no bye week after. I

136
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: think we were kind of hoping South for a bye week,

137
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: you and.

138
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: I really selfishly, but that is a football decision.

139
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: And I don't think that's a bad decision. You don't

140
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: want to take your bye week that early. That's really

141
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: really early to be taken a bye.

142
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm with you, and internally and I can't I can't

143
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: say this for certain because I haven't followed up on it,

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: but there was a thought I think internally. Listen, if

145
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: the London game is Week five, then you don't take

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: a bye, you go home. And the teams have the

147
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: choice now. Years ago, when the International Series began, teams

148
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: were told, hey, if you go overseas were giving you

149
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: a buye. And then when these games got pushed earlier

150
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: onto the schedule, some teams raised their hand and said,

151
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: what if we don't want to buy like week six,

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: it's a long season. What if we want to push

153
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: it later? And teams were then given the option. So

154
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: the Browns are like, we don't want it week six,

155
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: we'd like it later. The bye is week nine. Correct,

156
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: But yes, you and I selfishly obviously would have enjoyed

157
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: that buye. I was, you know, gonna you know, Normandy,

158
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: I've ever done that, you know, things like that.

159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: Instead, we were flying back. Now we're on the East

160
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: Coast time zone, so it's not like these aren't long flights.

161
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: You just have to get to the airport. And since

162
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: there's no police escort because we're not the King of England,

163
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: I mean we could be Kings for the day. I

164
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 4: mean it would be nice. You know, by the time,

165
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: it's going to be the struggle to get to the airport,

166
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: but once you're on the plane, you know we're back

167
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: probably middle of the night, maybe, yeah, I mean it's

168
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: not It would be like going to the West Coast

169
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: for a nighttime primetime game and then flying home and

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: the problem is five days later you're on a bus

171
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, that didn't do you a lot of favors.

172
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 4: I really felt like the league would have been nice

173
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 4: to have a home game after going to London, but

174
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: London and the league say, well, your home game is

175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: against the Minnesota Vikings. So I would have liked I

176
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 4: would have liked a home game, but.

177
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: I have some thoughts on that. I'm with you, I

178
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: would have liked a home game. Be careful you ask

179
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: for if you don't want to buy after week five,

180
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: that's fine. You don't know what that next game is

181
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: going to be. Now they try to do you some favors, like,

182
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: for example, if you're a West Coast team AFC West,

183
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: NFC West and you have to play in Europe, a

184
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: lot of those teams ask, hey, can we play the

185
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: week before on the East Coast. So in other words,

186
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: let's say the forty nine ers just play make believe here,

187
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't play a London game after they It wouldn't be

188
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: a London game after say a game in Denver where

189
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: they got to come home and then they got a

190
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: lot of these teams say, hey, send us to say

191
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: like New York will play New York and then we

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: will go straight over after the game. Right, So those

193
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: requests are off and honored. I don't know what the

194
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Browns requested on the back end, other than no BUYE.

195
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: At least you're not getting on a plane, You're taking

196
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: the bus. You could lead EVE at three o'clock on

197
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon and bust to Pittsburgh and it's not as

198
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: bad as a flight. My biggest issue with that one though,

199
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: is I don't know if you noticed. The Steelers are

200
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: going to be coming off a bye correct, So the

201
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: Steelers will have been in Doublin and I are play

202
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings more than that. In a second. The Vikings

203
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: week for the Steelers said, we want our bye, So

204
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: the Steelers are going to come home, be rested, and

205
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: We're going to be coming back trying to fight through

206
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: everything and then have to play them and they are

207
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: rested off an early by.

208
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 4: The Steelers can do that because they have four primetime games. Yes,

209
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: so they're gonna have They're gonna have a mini by

210
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: weekend from playing on a Thursday night. We don't even

211
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: get a mini bye week this year. Correct, we have

212
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: one bye week for eighteen weeks. Yeah, it's week nine.

213
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: They have that luxury.

214
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: It's different now. Look at the Titans. I said, the

215
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: Titans don't have a picking ahead of the Browns number one.

216
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: We're all with the number one overall pick ham Ward

217
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: and they're quite upset there in Tennessee. No primetime showcase.

218
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Guys got to go a good record last year. I

219
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: would argue the Browns didn't have a good record, but

220
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: there are reasons to explain it, and they are far

221
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: more likely to bounce back this year. And I would

222
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: also argue that you could put any AFC North game

223
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: at a primetime window and chances are it's gonna be

224
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: good television.

225
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Now.

226
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Browns and Bengals got flexed out in December last year.

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: I hated it at that moment it happened. In retrospect,

228
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't that good of a game other than miles

229
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: one hundred sack. We were freezing because the Bengals refused

230
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: to put the heat on. But that's another issue we

231
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: learn from that. It's not about my comfort ever, But like, hey, Bengals,

232
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: you can put the stinking heat on. But I digress.

233
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: Where was I?

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: The Titans every they don't have any standalone games and

235
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: they have like US fourteen one o'clock games, They have

236
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: three four o'clock games. That is their schedule. So it

237
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: could be a lot worse.

238
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it gets a little easier, like like I

239
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 4: don't want to say easier, because here's good news is

240
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: we have the schedule. Bad news is you're starting to

241
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: break down the schedule. A year ago we looked at

242
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: our schedule and I think probably nine out of ten

243
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: people would have said, oh, we're playing the We're playing

244
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: in Washington, Yeah, this is going to be a walk

245
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: in the park. Well, they were a game away from

246
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 4: the super Bowl. So the schedule is on paper. You

247
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 4: got to go play the games, and a lot could

248
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: change things. Maybe the NFC North isn't as good this year,

249
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 4: maybe they take a step back.

250
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: I doubt that highly, but you know.

251
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: Maybe the AFC East has some issues, you know with

252
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: maybe the Dolphins aren't as good as we all think.

253
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 4: Maybe the Patriots, you know, still aren't back yet totally

254
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: with Vrabel, the Jets, maybe they're still trying to figure

255
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 4: out their quarterback situation. We've go three straight AFC East

256
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: opponents with a buy in between there. But so the

257
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: schedule paper tells you, and based on the record from

258
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 4: a year ago, that maybe things loosen up a little bit,

259
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 4: lighting up a little bit. But you know, then Thanksgiving

260
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: weekend the forty nine ers, you have the Titans at home,

261
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: then you got to go to Chicago. Then Buffalo comes here,

262
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh comes here at Cincinnati. I mean it gets tough

263
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: again as we go.

264
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: It's tough in the beginning and it's tough at the end.

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: And I would say this to Brons fans myself included

266
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: here that you're aggravated. You don't have more primetime games,

267
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: any primetime games that we're aggravated everybody is. You have

268
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: a chance on the back end of that schedule if

269
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: you get out of the gate well, which I know

270
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: it's a gauntlet there after you go Bengals, Ravens, Packers, Lions,

271
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Vikings and London Steelers. That ain't easy. But if you

272
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: can navigate that, and if you can get good in

273
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the season with that buy in the

274
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: AFC East teams, I'm telling you you have your chance

275
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: to flex your way in to big TV windows at

276
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Whether it's the Bears the Bills.

277
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: You telling me that on September I'm sorry, December twenty first,

278
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: four days before Christmas. If the Browns and Bills mean

279
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: something that isn't going to a primetime window it is.

280
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: So you have the Bears, the Bills, the Steelers, and

281
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: then who knows Week eighteen with the Bengals. Love that

282
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: game to mean something. My money would always tell me

283
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: right now, it's an NFC Easter or NFC North game

284
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: then gets into that window. But you never know, you

285
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: have your opportunity to stake your claim. And I also

286
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: believe that the lack of primetime games could and should

287
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: be a motivational factor. It's only May, it's very minor,

288
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: but hey, this is what they think of you.

289
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, that's exactly right. That's what the NFL thinks

290
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: of you. You're not worthy of a primetime slot. All right,

291
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: Well it's up to us to go earn it.

292
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: And you know, the one thing that really annoys me

293
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: here about the no primetime thing. I don't want to

294
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: harp on it too much, because they truly do believe

295
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: that the Browns are worthy of a prime time slot.

296
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I think they put on a good show generally, whether

297
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: it was the Broncos last year, a loss, the Steelers game,

298
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: the snow Globe, we know what happened, and then they

299
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: got flexed out of the two games.

300
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: Ratings get ratings.

301
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: Exactly, especially with Miles coming back with the quarterbacks, like,

302
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: I really do think they deserved one. Here's what I

303
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: can't stand. So I mentioned Tennessee number one overall doesn't

304
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: have a primetime game. I kind of get it. Number two,

305
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: where we would have picked without the trade, we don't

306
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: have one. Number three The New York Giants, same record, Browns, Titans,

307
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Giants right one, two three, same record. Came down to

308
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: tie breakers as to how the draft fell. The Giants

309
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: have three primetime games. I know it's New York. This

310
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: is not like some anti New York rant. I went

311
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: to school in New York. I get New York. It's

312
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: the number one market. Went exactly Central New York, not

313
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: New York City. Very very very very very very very different,

314
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: very different. I get they're going to be on TV,

315
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: but do you know what that York Giants are since

316
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty in primetime giving a don't okay, unwatchable? They

317
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: are two and fifteen since twenty twenty in primetime, two

318
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: and fifteen. I get it. It's big blue, it's a

319
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: big market. They're a big brand. And they did make

320
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs a couple of years ago, not last year,

321
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: the year before NOE with Daniel Jones and Saquon they

322
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: won in Minnesota, Okay, three years ago, whatever, it was.

323
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: My point being, they're two and fifteen in primetime. You

324
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: cannot tell. Look the back pages in New York are like,

325
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: can Jackson Dart save Brian Daboll from getting fired by November.

326
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't think Brian Dabele personally should be fired. I'm

327
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: not advocating for that. I'm saying that's the talk. They

328
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: get three primetime the Patriots, who won four games, who

329
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: are picking fourth. The Patriots have three primetime games as well.

330
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: Now one of them is against the Giants, right, so

331
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: there's a crossover. But I don't get that. But the

332
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: Browns have a way to fight themselves out of that

333
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: hole if they want to. So that's that, all right.

334
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: Let's go back and listen to an interview that we did.

335
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Full disclosure, This was taped after day one of rookie

336
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: mini camp. Okay, they got off the field, the rookies did.

337
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: Dylan Samson, fourth round pick, walked over to me. Love

338
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: the conversation. I'm very excited about this backfield. I don't

339
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: know if you could see it in the final cut,

340
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: but in the background you may see a rookie quarterback

341
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: wearing number twelve getting in some extra work after day

342
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: one of work. You got one practice in the books.

343
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Dylan Samson is an NFL running back. How to go.

344
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

345
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: Uh, I think it was good, you know, just feeling

346
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 5: comfortable with the playbook, you know, getting my feet you know,

347
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 5: wet on the ground and everything, but I feel like

348
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: it went smooth.

349
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: Had a field to actually get your feet on the ground,

350
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: to put this new number two, this twenty two jersey

351
00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: on and get out here.

352
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it felt great. You know, you know those feelings

353
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 5: hit you when you take the field. It feels good that,

354
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 5: you know, be back in just football clothes again, and

355
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: you know, now I'm part of a team again, you know,

356
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: so it feels good.

357
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: So much attention on the quarterbacks. Can we talk about

358
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: the running backs here as well? Because you and Quinn

359
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: Shawn's seeming they already have something going. Watching the two

360
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: of you with Duce Staley doing position drills before the game,

361
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: he was getting on you a little bit and you

362
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: two were both giving it back to me.

363
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 5: Well yeah, yeah, I think it would be like a

364
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 5: great relationship.

365
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: You know.

366
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 5: I feel like in the league, you know, it's competition

367
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 5: everywhere and you want to be the best in the room.

368
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 6: But you know, at the end of the day, we

369
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 6: all working towards the same goal.

370
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 5: So as many talented and elite people you can have

371
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 5: on your team.

372
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 6: It makes everybody else elite.

373
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: We got to workshop this. There's thunder and lightning, there's

374
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: smashing dash, there's Sonic and knuckles in Detroit. So what

375
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: are you guys gonna be?

376
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 6: I don't know.

377
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: We were gonna think about it, you know, come up

378
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: with it.

379
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: But you know, step one, it's got to make sure

380
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 5: we you know, take advantage of camping and everything leaning up,

381
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: just to put ourselves in a position.

382
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Have you guys talked about it?

383
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 6: The nickname the nicknames, it's unspoken.

384
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 2: We understand, Okay, So.

385
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: You gotta let your play on the field figure it

386
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: out and then maybe it'll be up to me and

387
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: Nathan in the booth. Not that I want to give

388
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: you a nicknames.

389
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I think I think that's how it goes.

390
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 4: You know.

391
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 5: I think if we go out there and you know,

392
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 5: the world sees something in us and it'll give us

393
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: a nickname, you know, hopefully it's something great.

394
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: Okay, now that we're at it, we're kind of a

395
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: nickname for you guys. Obviously a lot of eyes on

396
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks as well, with both Dylan Gabriel, I'm sorry, Yeah,

397
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel and Shorge Sanders. At my Dylan's got two Dyllons.

398
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: Man already mix them up in my head, early impressions

399
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: on the two of them, and I guess all the cameras,

400
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: the lights. I'm sure your phone's been blowing up about

401
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: it as well.

402
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 6: What do you think, oh man, two great guys.

403
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 5: You know, having a chance to get to talk to

404
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: him should do us lock of literally right across from me.

405
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 5: But you know, both home of guys. I think, both

406
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 5: ready to attack the opportunity that they have. You know,

407
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 5: felt comfortable with them in the huddle of the day.

408
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 5: Made my job easier, you know, just just relaying the

409
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 5: plays back. But uh, you know it's it's great. There's

410
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 5: two great quarterbacks and they'll definitely put each other and

411
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 5: you know you could definitely see leadership traits in them.

412
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: How many times joking aside? Has your phone blown up?

413
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 5: It was real hot, like after I get drafted, you know,

414
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 5: but I kind of try to put it down.

415
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: How's Cleveland been treating? You saw we had crawfish already, right.

416
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 6: That's crazy.

417
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 5: I just got here yesterday and you know, got a

418
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 5: chance to meet some you know, my old lineman and

419
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: so that was that was good. It felt like I

420
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 5: was back home as soon as I left. But uh,

421
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 5: you know, the day's been busy, so I can't wait

422
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: to just get around the city and you know, really

423
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 5: get comfortable here.

424
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: Did Wyatt Teller make that crawfish or did he bring

425
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: it in?

426
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: He made it? Okay, he made it good. I'm from Louisiana.

427
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm not gonna say its top tier, but

428
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie.

429
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 6: I would sit there and eat it like it was good.

430
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. They don't.

431
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 5: They don't even have all the season is here to

432
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 5: make it how we make it. But definitely better than

433
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 5: some carfish I had in Tennessee and wim on North,

434
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 5: which I was like, man.

435
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 6: You got it any from Virginia.

436
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: Hey, he got it, so you didn't just eat it

437
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: to be nice to a guy that's got a clear

438
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: holes for you.

439
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 5: Man, Look, he got a family. He got a clear

440
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: holes for his family. He don't got a clear holes

441
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 5: for me. You know, he he gotta get paid, so

442
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: he gonna clear holes regardless. You know, I'm gonna keep

443
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 5: it real because hey, you know, keeping it real just

444
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: make you better.

445
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: You also keep it real with the legacy of the

446
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee running backs as well. You're from Louisiana, so you

447
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 1: were a Saints fan. I a soon growing up, right,

448
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara forty one with the Saints, but six with Tennessee.

449
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: That's your number as well. What is Alvin Kamara meant

450
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: to you?

451
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, just just looked that looked up to him.

452
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 5: You know, I follow his story since, like when he

453
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: was at Alabama, you know, and just the things he

454
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 5: went through going from Juco to Tennessee and especially when

455
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 5: he got to the league. He happened to go to

456
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 5: my favorite team at the time, and just you know,

457
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 5: watching him, seeing a player that I could, you know,

458
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: find some similarities and was very morenovational for me. You know,

459
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: I never like to look up to like too many

460
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 5: big running backs because it's not my play style. But

461
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 5: I saw traits in his game that I knew for

462
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: sure I could emulate. And just having a chance to

463
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: go to Tennessee, and you know, it was crazy. I

464
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 5: saw him in the airport, but I didn't speak to

465
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 5: him because he looked like he was just you.

466
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 6: Know, minding his business.

467
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 5: You're a little kid, nah, I mean I was committed

468
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 5: to Tennessee already, you know, but I just was like, man,

469
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 5: I'm gonna let him be in. You know, if the

470
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 5: time is right, I'm going to Tennessee. I'll meet him

471
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 5: one day. And you know what happened. You know, got

472
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 5: a chance to you know, spend like a week with him,

473
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 5: pick his brain. You know, he gave me game and

474
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 5: he came to my couple games over this year, came

475
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 5: to BEMA this past year, and you know, you know,

476
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 5: it's just cool seeing things come full circle.

477
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool. You said you're not entirely his game,

478
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: but at the same time, people say you're the home

479
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: run hitter. He's a home run hitter, but you're gonna

480
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: be You're gonna be the ANFC North now. So you

481
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: do have a physical side to your game as well.

482
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: But people have often said, hey, Quinn, Shine's a physical guy.

483
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: You're you're the speed guy. Do you like that? Because

484
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: I would have to think that you don't want to

485
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: shy away from being physical.

486
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 5: Man, it somebody has to be something, you know, somebody

487
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: has to be something. But I just let my place

488
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 5: speak for itself. I think at running back in general,

489
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 5: you have to be physical there's not many running backs

490
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 5: who succeed for too long without being physical, you know,

491
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 5: and there's different type of you know, levels of it.

492
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 6: You know.

493
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 5: I want mine to speak out because I'm not the

494
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 5: biggest running back, but i know the mentality that I take,

495
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 5: and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get

496
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 5: better and make this team go forward.

497
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: You spoke earlier today when you met with the media

498
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: about your why, Dylan Sampson, what is your why?

499
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, biggest is in my faith.

500
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: You know, I truly believe we all like put on

501
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 5: this earth for a reason, you know, and we're gifted

502
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 5: with certain talents for a reason, you know, whether it's broadcasting,

503
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 5: you know, sports.

00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 6: Like even all of us.

505
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 5: We have deeper talents than just football, you know, and

506
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: it's our job to tap into that and use the

507
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 5: platform that we've been given to effect you know, positive

508
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 5: change and really be a role model. You know, we

509
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: have an opportunity of lifetime to be a role model

510
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 5: and lead the charge, and I don't want to take

511
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,719

Speaker 1: like it?

546
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, of course seen the brown Stadium. It's huge,

00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 3: Like who won't want.

548
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: To play at home?

549
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: And you're wearing the same colors as well.

550
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they ain't gotta really do too much.

551
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: You have a lot of orange in your closet as well,

552
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: coming from bowling Green.

553
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: Ye.

554
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about old fan of growing up

555
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: as a kid. Because you grew up, as you said,

556
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: Kate McKinley an hour down the road, you weren't necessarily

557
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: the biggest Browns fan. I think your generation, I'm going

558
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: to age myself right now. Okay, your generation, the younger generation.

559
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: You grew up in an era of fantasy football. You

560
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: can get every game on TV. It's less about teams,

561
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: it's more about players, right, For a lot of young guys,

562
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: who are the players in the NFL that you watched

563
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot growing up and maybe you modeled your game.

564
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: After so growing up. I definitely say Leon Bell. I

565
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: definitely watched him a lot.

566
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: You played a lot of running back, too, played.

567
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: A lot of running back. And then this one might

568
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: sneak up on you. Antonio Brown. I thought he was

569
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: the best player on earth really.

570
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: Well, as you transition to a guy that catches passes

571
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: for a living, his footwork, the way he was able

572
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: to get off the line, that's a good guy.

573
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: To look up to. That's a great guy.

574
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: So what do you take from his game?

575
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: I think is just his like ability to just catch

576
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: the ball. Like you ever watch them, I remember watching

577
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: them catch the ball, his helmet, you know what I mean,

578
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: late hands. You know he pretty much got the receiver

579
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: part packed down. If you just watch him, you know

580
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: what I mean, and you kind of take his little

581
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: bits and pieces, you gonna end up, you know what

582
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: I mean, being a little great.

583
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: It's funny you said late hands was the first.

584
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: Thing that came to my mind. He has late hands.

585
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: So for those who don't know listening, late hands meaning

586
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: you look back, DB's got his back to the quarterback.

587
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: You don't want to put your hands up too quickly.

588
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: dB knows now, either get in there, turn around, go

589
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: find that football, your late hands and advantage against the

590
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: guy who's checking you down the field. Right Yeah, And

591
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: that's obviously part of your game. Also part of your game.

592
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: How you Harold stepped up when you when Bowling Green

593
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: were on the biggest stages. We're talking some of the

594
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Brown Scouts earlier today. What you did against Penn State,

595
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: what you get against Texas A and M, what you

596
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: did with seventeen catches. You and I were talking about

597
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: this last night in a bowl game. Those big moments

598
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: meant a lot of those big games.

599
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 6: Do to you.

600
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 3: Man, those big games, man, I mean before the game,

601
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 3: it gets me fired up, you know what I mean,

602
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: the whole week, you know what I mean, I'm really excited,

603
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: you know pretty much. You know you always told you know,

604
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: you ain't really got nothing to lose, and you ain't

605
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 3: got really nothing to prove, and you know, you just

606
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: really just let it fly, you know what I mean,

607
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: Like you know, whether right or wrong, you really can

608
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: just let it fly. Because everybody think he's supposed to lose,

609
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: so you just go out there with a four hundred

610
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: percent confidence and you really just make them prove it.

611
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: This isn't a knock on the MAC at all, but

612
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: it certainly helped you in this process. Then against SEC

613
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: and Big ten teams, you put on a show. And

614
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: you've heard that in the pre draft process. Certainly I'd

615
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: have to think how tempted were you to leave? Because

616
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: like Ashton Genty, for example, Mountain West, you had a

617
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: chance to leave quiny On Mitchell last year in the

618
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: Mack you had a chance to leave. I'm assuming you

619
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: had a chance to go somewhere else last year.

620
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, not really.

621
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: You know, I had a great relationship with my head

622
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: coach at the time. I mean we still do. I

623
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: mean to start to him yesterday, but you know I

624
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: kind of built that relationship with him in the next obviously,

625
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: you know the players just bringing back and you know

626
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,239
Speaker 3: the relationships had my teammate and everything that was going on.

627
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: I mean I pretty much already knew I wasn't going anywhere.

628
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: Stayed at home and then you get to stay at

629
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: home here. What were the two didn't go Thursday? You

630
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: had to wait till Friday? What was that weight like

631
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: for you trying to figure out where your journey is

632
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: going to take you.

633
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: I mean, want me to be honest, it kind of

634
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: went by fast, you know. I mean, I'm you know,

635
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm a really humble person, you know, so

636
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: I don't you know, I'm not really looking for anything,

637
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I'm really you know what

638
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: I mean, low key. So, I mean like it kind

639
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: of snuck up on me how quick they called me.

640
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: In my mind, people might think I was supposed to

641
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: go higher, YadA ya da this. I mean, I just

642
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: I was just shocked, man.

643
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Really, I mean, for the for the average person who

644
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: comes out of college and maybe does some interviews and

645
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you get a pick of a job

646
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: somewhere and you can figure out where to spend your life.

647
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: The NFL player, the guy that comes out of college

648
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: like you, people can't walk in your shoes, Like, what

649
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: is that like knowing that it's a TV show for

650
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: three days, someone's gonna likely send you a plane ticket.

651
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: In this case, you hopped in the car and you

652
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: have no control over the next chapter in your life.

653
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: Was that like, uh, you know, it's kind of crazy.

654
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: People can ask me, like, are you nervous, you know,

655
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: all these questions, and I'm like, no, man, I'm good.

656
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 3: You know, I know God got me, my family gonna

657
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: support me. So I mean, I knew pretty much it

658
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: was gonna go smooth for me regardless.

659
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the number, Greg Newsom, right now, we're zero.

660
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: You look good in zero.

661
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: I appreciate.

662
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: Okay. It's not usually a pass catching number in the NFL.

663
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: And as I said, right now, somebody has it here.

664
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: Have we thought about what number Harold Fannin is gonna

665
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: be wearing next year?

666
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 6: Oh? Nah, not really.

667
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta look at into it, you know,

668
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: I got to see you know, probably count a couple

669
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: even try it all, you know, just kind of see

670
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: how I look.

671
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: Do we want an eighties number?

672
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it really doesn't matter to me.

673
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: Okay.

674
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: I feel like every number I didn't put on, I

675
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: don't you know, made it to something that somebody else

676
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: will want.

677
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: There you go, that's the right attitude. I was talking

678
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: to Carson Swestinger earlier and he wore forty nine at

679
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: UCLA mm hmm, and I said, I don't. I don't, like,

680
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: can we think of a great linebacker that's warned, forty nine,

681
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of an awkward NFL linebacker number. And his answer,

682
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: you know what it was. It was because that means

683
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: no one good enough has worn it yet.

684
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: M that's perfect. There you go, it's perfect, all right.

685
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: A number to be named later for Harold fannin Junior

686
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: and undoubtedly a number of touchdowns coming up as well.

687
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: Congratulations again, man, welcome to Cleveland.

688
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: No, thank you, thank you, thank you all for having.

689
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: Me Gibbe's new favorite player, Harold fannin Junior wearing eighty eight.

690
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 1: Go back to what Z had been saying, weapons weapons, weapons,

691
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: weapons weapons. I know the board didn't necessarily fall the

692
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: way anyone thought it was going to fall. But after

693
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: watching Quinchean, forget about the quarterbacks for a second, give

694
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: a quin Schewn, Dylan Samson and Harold fanned out there.

695
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: They found themselves some weapons.

696
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely bolstered the running back room, bolstered the tight end room.

697
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: I mean, people knew at rookie Minni camp that Harold

698
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: fan and Junior was getting the ball and he still

699
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 4: was running routes open and catching the foot yep like

700
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 4: he was still making plays, whether there were people on

701
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: him or whether he found a way to get open

702
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: on his own and find the opening in the scene.

703
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: A great weekend for him.

704
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: Running backs.

705
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 4: The running back room is going to be really, really

706
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: fun in twenty twenty five.

707
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: And I'm going to use that to button up one

708
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: final thought on the rookie quarterbacks here. As well as

709
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: people over analyze rookie quarterback performance over a three day

710
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: let's just get in the building and get your feet

711
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: wet and learn the playbook. Mini camp Harold fan and

712
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Junior was and I know there were there were a

713
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: couple of wide receivers signed after tryout players signed after

714
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: the rookie Mini camp, But for all intents and purposes,

715
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: the guys that are going to be playing on Sunday,

716
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: Harold Fannin Junior was the only one out there for

717
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: rookie Mini camp. So when you consider quarterback performance, consider

718
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: they all just met a couple of days earlier, and

719
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: really Fannin, one of those rookies at mini camp and

720
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: training camp, could just make a huge leap and be

721
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: playing on Sundays. Oh, that does happen. But Fannin was

722
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: that one guy who was out there. So consider the

723
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: circumstances when we overanalyze quarterback play. All right, fun, We're good.

724
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: All right, that is good baby. My name is Andrew Siciliano.

725
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Coming up next week, our next episode, we will talk

Speaker 1: number forty nine in your Hearts, and Brown's d line

728
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,760
