1
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Coming to you live from the Cross Country Mortgage Campus

2
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: in Barrie, Ohio. This is Cleveland Browns Daily on esp

3
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Here are your hosts, Bo Bishop and Nathan Ziggura.

4
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Let's do Alive on a Monday edition of the program.

5
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: I am merely bow. He is the great z. How

6
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: you living, buddy? Do it well? Man? We are through

7
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: the preseason obviously, a very difficult couple of days coming up,

8
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: not only for games of batter everybody plays. Boy, that

9
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: was I don't just as a long time coming, just

10
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: as quick as side the NFL preseason. I don't know

11
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: that it's ever been worse than it is currently. Nobody

12
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: knows what to do. Some people do it's one way,

13
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: one people do it another. From an entertainment standpoint, for

14
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: the fans, I think it's just dreadful, not necessarily us specifically,

15
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: although we're part of it. Everybody. It's just bad. It's

16
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: bad across the board. It's bad ball. It's tough, it's

17
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: a tough, tough watch. It's gonna eventually, thank god, it's

18
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: over eighteen games. Two preseason. You'll have one that'll be

19
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of and one that hopefully as address rehearsal and

20
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: then the way you'll get can you just go like,

21
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: can it be Yeah, it's it's eight it will be

22
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: eighteen and two eighteen regular season, two preseason, which seems

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: crazy and you're gonna pay a teen regular season games,

24
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: but that's what they're gonna do. And you go to

25
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: two preseason and maybe they're like, I don't know, controlled

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: game or something where like a coach go, hey, run

27
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: that back. Like I don't think you have to be

28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: so committed to game. I think the fan is smart

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: enough now to understand that, oh, you know, like, hey,

30
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: we you gave us this look on third and three,

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: can you give it to run that back so we

32
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: can see what this looks like against it. Like, I

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: don't know, I just think that, right, this is tough.

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: It's tough watch. It is a tough watch. But guys

35
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: are competing and you're gonna get you know, some stories

36
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: of guys fighting and clawing their way on the roster.

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I think, much like the Anthony Bell who will ultimately

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: will end up on the Browns roster. In my opinion,

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: that's to me, that's exciting. So that's what you have

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: is in the preseason. But that's not a whole lot.

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's no, that's a pretty minor. Ultimately, it's

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: also a deep cut, very deep. That a B side.

43
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: It's a B side song eight for the kids out

44
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: there when we start to flip a tape. Yeah, it's

45
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: a deep cut. So like the for the app for

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: the general fan, it's it's a tough one, you know,

47
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: the average fan, it's tough. But we're through it now

48
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: and that's the beauty of it. We're done. Um, we

49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: had Week zero in college football, didn't didn't give you much,

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: but you know we're on and now you've got Week

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: one of college football this week Buckeyes and Irish and

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: and in between now and then in between now and

53
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: a week from Sunday, You've got some business and it's

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna come fast and furious for Andrew Barry here in

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours. It's tomorrow, four o'clock and

56
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: we've already started the Browns roster down to seventy three.

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: They have placed Chris Odom on injured reserve with that

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: a c L injury. They have waived five players wide

59
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: receiver ja Marcus Bradley, defensive tackle Glenn Logan, safety Javante Moffatt,

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: tackle Ben Petroola, and defensive end Curtis Weaver, who had

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: a sack in each of the last two preseason games.

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: And they have terminated the contract of veteran wide receiver

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Javon Wims, So now the Browns are at seventy three,

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: still twenty to go down to the fifty three. Curtis

65
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: Weaver transformed his body a couple of summers ago, he did,

66
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: and it, you know, it never necessarily manifested itself. I

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: think he's had a good camp. They like Curtis Weaver.

68
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: When shocked me if he ended up back on the

69
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Brown's practice squad where he was from most of last season.

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: But he's just in a room with incredible numbers. I mean,

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: it is a very very deep, deep room. And you know,

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: with you got your big three of Itch Rochelle, Isaiah Thomas,

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, we've just unfortunately the outside looking in there,

74
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: but a guy who's very well liked by his peers

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: and in the building. So we'll see if if he

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: ends up back on the practice one. Two receivers on

77
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: this list you mentioned, Javon Wims terminated, JaMarcus Bradley waived

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: um Well obviously we'll get into the breakdown of the

79
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: game a little bit, but that is a position I've very,

80
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: very curious about over the next twenty four hours. Yeah,

81
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: it is. It's a It's the position to be curious about. Honestly,

82
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: I think could the Browns if you're saying of like

83
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: the guys that you expect to make it, you know,

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: over the course of this roster, if we go through

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: and do a little fifty three at some point or

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: take a look at some things like that, um, you're

87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: going to have, you know, the one position where I

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: think like a guy that is a known recent draft

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: pick of the Browns that could maybe defensive tackle. I

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: think they could still look for somebody in the on

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the backup of a defensive tackle and then wide receiver.

92
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: It does, it feels to me, and it is very

93
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: hard to watch Anthony Schwartz struggle away that he is

94
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: good news, he's getting open bad news. You can just

95
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: see him fighting the football. He is not any good

96
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: place mentally as it comes to catching the football. And

97
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: it's tough, and the fans were tough, and all the

98
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: quarterbacks were very kind to him on the sideline during

99
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: that game, but it was hard to watch. He was

100
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: booed soundly. It was hard to listen to, it was

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: hard to see. And and here's the issue though, he

102
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: in many ways is the key to unlocking this offense

103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: because of his speed. Speed's great. Getting open is great,

104
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: but you have to get open, you have to catch

105
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: the ball. That's what David Bell does so well. But

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: David Bell is not going to threaten a defense vertically.

107
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: And so that's a position that it feels like the

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: Browns are going to have to make a move to

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: get another outside receiver. I think with David Bell inside,

110
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Harrison Bryant's ability to play the big slot, I think

111
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: the metric Felton inside, they like what they've got inside.

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: You can't even put a Mary Cooper inside. And he's

113
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: very dynamic out of the slot, and you will see that.

114
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: But we he'd have got a field stretcher outside. And

115
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and right now you've got DPJ who's got a great career,

116
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen point eight yards of catch, but he's

117
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: somebody that is more of a contested catch. Vertical threats

118
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: his bond he used. He knows how to get open

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: and by the way, he was open for a big

120
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: chunk play in that game on the bomb to Schwartz,

121
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: which was a dime from set and that he wasn't

122
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: able to bring in. But yeah, we need somebody with

123
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice to loosen things up. And

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, Schwartz, here's the crazy part. And I don't

125
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: people don't get to see this because it's here. He's

126
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: had back to back great weeks of practice making great catches,

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: and so it clearly is something about the games that

128
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: becomes somewhat mental for him. He's got kind of the

129
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: catching yips like a Chuck new Kids on knob blocker,

130
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Steve Sachs, you know, throwing to first base guys who

131
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: have done there's a ton of these. I mean, this happens.

132
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: He gets in your head and you know, all of

133
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, something that you've done and you have always

134
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable with. There's something about going to the

135
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: game Apenitch Quille O'Neil with free throws. He'd always talked

136
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: about he his free throws and practice, go to the

137
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: games and a fifty. He just got in your head

138
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: and and he's it's clearly in his head right now.

139
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: I just want to ask you this because I think

140
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: this is the other part that you have to remember

141
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: about this, Like you know, this offense, this receiving group

142
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: was put together with the idea that Deshaun Watson was

143
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: going to be the quarterback that the season. He's not

144
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna be the quarterback for the majority of the season.

145
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: In fact, tomorrow is his last day that he can

146
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: be here, so that from that point on we won't

147
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: see him for a while. But one big part of

148
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: it was that he was going to be the one

149
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: elevating this receiving corps. With the exception of Amari and dpj's,

150
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I think we believe in him, and we believe in

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: all these guys, but Amari's stands on his own, and

152
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: so he's won of one and now he is and

153
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: so now Watson is out. So to your conversation about

154
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: you need, you're gonna need buddy. You don't even have

155
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: to hit on that many of them, but you have

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to have somebody out there that you can hit on

157
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: every once in a while. Because what we're gonna be

158
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: doing offensively, I think pretty straightforward, is a lot of

159
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: what we did the last couple of years, and that's

160
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna be predicated entirely on an ability to run the ball.

161
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: So every once in a while you've got to be

162
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: able to take a shot and say, Jacob, we just

163
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: throw it as far as you can and just give

164
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: us a little bit of breathing room here with these safeties,

165
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: give him something to think about. If the guy on

166
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: the other end of that can't haul it in, you're

167
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: in a tough spot because there's not anybody else that's

168
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna scare anybody deep No, I mean chief, a great

169
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: seam runner made a great catch on a beautiful ball

170
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: from Brissette, you know, right over the middle of the seam.

171
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, folks. You know, Brissette ends up

172
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty three in this game, you have three

173
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: drops from Shorts sixteen and twenty three fields a heck

174
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: of a lot different than than thirteen twenty three, and

175
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: the numbers would have been everything about. It would have

176
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: been a very different ball game, foreman. And then not

177
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: to mention the interception on a target to Shorts where

178
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: he runs into the linebacker. That is you run that

179
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: That is one oh one flat out of the slot

180
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: slant from the outside. That is football one oh one.

181
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he went to shallow you

182
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: either have to go under that or you have to

183
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: go over that. I mean, there are no in betweens.

184
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: But you cannot run into the guy and then be

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: knocked down to the ground. So when your quarterback is

186
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: throwing to a spot in a three step drop, which

187
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: is quick game, he's throwing to a spot and you're

188
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: not there, you're on the ground. Of course, the d's

189
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: is gonna it's gonna look like he throws the right

190
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: to the dB. So that is and that's another thing.

191
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: The Browns have an abundance, abondanza of running backs. They

192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: probably have an abundance of interior offensive lineman. Do those

193
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: positions fetch quality wide receivers. I don't know. And the

194
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: answer to that is probably you gotta take a flyer.

195
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: So there's you know, Darius Slayton with the Giants, Denzel

196
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Mims with the Jets. These are two guys that are

197
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: purportedly made available. Both have talent slate. In a couple

198
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: of years ago, I actually had a very nice season

199
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: for the New York Giants. He's got vertical speed. That's

200
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of his calling card. So he's somebody that

201
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: makes sense. He's had two seasons in in nineteen and

202
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: twenty where he had seven forty yards, eight touchdown seven

203
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: three average fifteen yards of catch. So that's somebody that

204
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, has that kind of juice that maybe you

205
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: would be able to give a look to. He's had

206
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: a forty yard plus reception all three years in league.

207
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: Last year was banged up, so he didn't play as much.

208
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: Those numbers were down, and they brought in Kenny Golladay.

209
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: He's somebody that would be intriguing. Denzel Mims was I

210
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: believe a former second round pick of the Jets out

211
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: of Baylor. I've been that. Let's say that second round yep,

212
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: I went to Baylor, right, we had both of those things.

213
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: He ever just sixteen yards of catch. First crew just

214
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: has not been given many opportunities. And he's a big

215
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: six three, big body outside guy, prototypical big fast. So

216
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: he's somebody that's interesting that could be helpful. Nobody that

217
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: the Browns get, barring a mega deal that would be

218
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: unforced and unforeseen type of a mega deal. Nobody that

219
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: the Browns get here is going to be necessarily like

220
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: a week early season savior. So put that out of

221
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: one of those guys, is trade a corner. I mean,

222
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: you'd have to trade an elite what you're not doing.

223
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: So you have to trade an elite to get an elite.

224
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: You're not running backs in middle lineman are getting it done.

225
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: So you're you're a football team that is going to

226
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: win doing what you've done before, and that is too

227
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: tight end sets. That is running the football with Nick

228
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: Chubb and Kareem Hunt, that is playing excellent defense with

229
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: the Browns did certainly over the second half of the year.

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: And it's taking care of the football. That's the one

231
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: thing that would be different. Is job Jacoby PC gonna

232
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: make some of the throws Bakers may in the past.

233
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: Probably not. Is he gonna also both that's positive and negative.

234
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: I would say he won't make some of the positive throws,

235
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: but he also won't make some of the negative throws

236
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: a Baker made. I thought his arm the ball popped

237
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: out of his hand much more so than I was

238
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: expecting in the game. Um so look, there is confidence there.

239
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: He is the starter. There's no conversation about Josh Dobbs

240
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: being anything other than the backup. So I know that

241
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: people were take try to take preseason and you know,

242
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: really extrapolate that that of course. Yes, well I don't

243
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: know about many, many many really. I mean like, we

244
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: also had people given Kade yorka hard time from using

245
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard field goal because he made a

246
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: seventy yard and warmups. By the way, he boots a

247
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard or right down the pipe. That was

248
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: good from seventy most likely, And I watched to make

249
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: a seven yard field goal, so I know we can

250
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: do that. Oh my goodness, unpressed. Oh you know it's

251
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: this season. Oh my god, what tied tie is ready?

252
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: A little louise something of great consequences, something like that's

253
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: rare a tie, a tidy very We're onto the regular season.

254
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: That's all I can say to the regular season. A

255
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: right back to our regularly scheduled programming, senior swag. Here's

256
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: the thing about about Kade. His second field goal is

257
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: actually a forty seven yard It looked like it was

258
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: a chip shot. He made that look like an extra point.

259
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: This is a completely different animal than we have had.

260
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: I watched him in the pregame warm so I'm sure

261
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: you've seen the video. You're not hard of seeing. They

262
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: placed the ball at the opposite forty opposite forty that

263
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: way seventy yards into the dog pound and nailed it.

264
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: So he kicks that, and then Cairo Santos, the kicker

265
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: of the Bears, who's got a good leg, goes to

266
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: kick a fifty six yard or same way into the

267
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: dog pound right after kids hit from seventy like we're

268
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: voting on the logo. There's gonna be a logo. There

269
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: he was on the other side of the logo, jints

270
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: it into the crossbar from fifty six, like just the

271
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: it's crazy if I think they're playing with him too,

272
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: like they we're attempting all these crazy field goals. You

273
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: would not do this in regular season. I just you

274
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: want maybe you would. Now he's an incredible weapon. At

275
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: the end of the half, when there's no consequence for

276
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: a miss, you can try probably up to seventy yards. Yeah,

277
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean that means you don't even need to be

278
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: at midfield and you can at least think about it. Yeah,

279
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: in the game situation like fifty eight, you give them

280
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: the ball. The forty eight there, that's the that's the

281
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: dual ledged short. The guy still hasn't missed from inside

282
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: a fifty five yards, So let's just all calm down.

283
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's already connected from I think

284
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: fifty five and fifty seven seven went until lasted. Who

285
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: was that kid from Oklahoma we had. We're a long

286
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: way from that. Yeah, he's I think he's on the Leon's.

287
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: Is he on the Leons? Yeah he's he's I've seen

288
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: him in the background. Remember even from forty four, it

289
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: would be like Cody Parking was a struggle to get

290
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the ball there. Chis McLoughlin had a good leg on.

291
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: But this is a different animal. It's a different animal.

292
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: But anyway, big big picture is we're gonna and that's

293
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: that's something we haven't had as a weapon in the

294
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: kicking game, which when you're a team like we are,

295
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we're track meeting to thirty every week

296
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: now with DeShawn wat Of course we are. We're gonna

297
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: check me to thirty on the reg but that's not

298
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: who we are. We're gonna be who we've been, which

299
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: means it's similar game script. We've got to be close.

300
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: We're great with the lead. We should be a great

301
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: with the lead football team, and that's gonna be the

302
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: bottom line. That's how you're gonna win. And these first

303
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: four games are all very very winnable, and you've got

304
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: to go out there and execute a knocked down the penalties,

305
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: I know, Kevin Stefanski is good stressing that ad nauseum

306
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: here over the next two weeks. Too many penalties in

307
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: the preseason begain. We didn't have five Pro bowlers playing

308
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: on offense, we didn't have three Pro bowlers playing on defense,

309
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: and our three best defensive players and maybe Greg's in

310
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: their conversation with being our fourth best defensive player, they

311
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: have Miles in f Clowney. So it's hard to judge

312
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: these preseasons. Of course, you would have wanted to come

313
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: out of those games with maybe a little more like

314
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: all right, let's go. But you know what, it also

315
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, doesn't mean anything. We went four and oh

316
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: the year that we went six, it doesn't mean anything.

317
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: Were you at all surprised as we just we spend

318
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: so much time off pensively, um boy, First of all,

319
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: like Matt Everfliss putting justin fields in a position to succeed, right, like,

320
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: let's move him, Let's let's actually get the kid in

321
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: the position to succeed, And they did fourteen to sixteen

322
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the first half. Any alarm bells for

323
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: you on that or just too many of our guys out.

324
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: It was pretty easy. Here's the truth. He had all

325
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: day to throw, did all day to throw. We had

326
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: too busts in coverage on the corner route. Our our

327
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: corner did not state maintain his depth in the cover three,

328
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: so that seven should have just come right to him.

329
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: He should have been right there. We had a clearly

330
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: a bust on the touchdown to Cole Commeant where there

331
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: was nobody even in the screen. I was standing up

332
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: there in the booth and I'm just like, well, you

333
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: can just see it. You're like, okay, this is as

334
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: easy as it gets. And then the other one, Dante

335
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: Pettis put a heck of a double move on Greedy,

336
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: who's got to be a little more disciplined, and he's

337
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna see you as a result of that, he's gonna

338
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: see double moves. So he's gonna have to be very much,

339
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: very you know, as I would say, he's gonna have

340
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: to be be ready for those things coming. I'm not

341
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: concerned about it. We generate when we have Clownie and

342
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett on the field. Last year thirty pressure rate

343
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: that was number one the NFL of any tandem in

344
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the league period. They make different that's a big difference.

345
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: Pressure burst pipes. Um, I will I will say it

346
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: was not as encouraging. You know, Isaac roch Shell I

347
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: think had a chance to play himself on the roster. Now,

348
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: his body of work may have been good enough if

349
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: we keep you know, five defensive ends that he did,

350
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: but that's not a great offensive line. And we were

351
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: not able to really consistently get around Malex right got

352
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: around him a couple of times and I thought looked good.

353
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: Um again, we didn't know No Denzel, no Greg you know,

354
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: Grant goes out early. It should have been better, and

355
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee the defensive coaches were like, okay, it should

356
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: have been better, but no, I'm not concerned about it.

357
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: That wasn't You're gonna have to flip the switch. Our

358
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: best players are gonna have to come in without having

359
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: played and flip the switch. But that's what they do.

360
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: They are the best players. And we had five of

361
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: those guys, five people who didn't play. We're in the

362
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: top one. Yeah, in the league. That's right, That's why

363
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Yeah, I just think that goes back to

364
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: the statement off the top just preseason football is tough. Um.

365
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of sad Day, Nana was so chesty and she

366
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: put an incredible effort on the on the Congo hat,

367
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: it is better, but it's not wearable. It's better. It's

368
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: wearable around the house and the practices. It's not a

369
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: game day cap anymore. It's currently constructed. It is stunning

370
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: to me that a the die from a from an

371
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: otherwise it became one with the fibers that it it

372
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: entered the fibers and now the congo hat is no

373
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: more as a game. A good job out of Nana.

374
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: I was really hoping to be able to find my

375
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: congo hat, but I think it is like yours. Mine

376
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: is not staying that way, but it is. It was

377
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: beyond it's after a trip around Croatia and everything that

378
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: kind of was. I think it's it's past its prime

379
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: for mine. And it was a very cursory look. But

380
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: we thought it'd be fun if we were able to

381
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: pull like a with you and it would have been

382
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: like the perfect condo. Look at that. Can you believe

383
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: that it's like it was never there? Yeah? Yeah, But

384
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: I love the effort though, Oh she gave it a

385
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: incredible effort. Bleach ajax. She was getting on there, trying

386
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: to get in there. Uh. We even tried some old

387
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: like whitening. I tried some whitening strips and whitening toothpaste

388
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: and really just like brushed it in there. I even

389
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: did a little today. I tried a little incredible effort

390
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: out of you guys. Nothing. Yeah, it's it's a part

391
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: of the hat now, yeah, it's part of it. It's

392
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: a sad day, sad day. And she was funny. My

393
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: mom would stand Nana would stand like twenty ft away

394
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: from me and hold up and be like, so you

395
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: can't see it. I'm like, no, I can't see it

396
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: from there, but come closer, as I gave her the

397
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: great line, good from far but far from good effort though, Nana, great, Yeah,

398
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: good job, all right, very good. Um also good anytime

399
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: you have dragons, that's a win. Shows throw me some dragons.

400
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: Find the dragons part. But the dialogue that just the

401
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: going visiting all places that were places of consequence in

402
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: theme of thrones in a different era and a different

403
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: use from them. It was an electric shell. Yeah, it's

404
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: a bonanza. The show is gonna be a bonanza, the

405
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: without flaw. Last night, I would say, yeah. The only

406
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: thing I think that's that is going to take a

407
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: little getting used to, is there. I mean, it's pretty

408
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: much all on a set. It's all in rooms, you

409
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, up until that last fifteen minutes

410
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: when it's okay, now we're gonna spend our moment through

411
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: the smoke of the clouds. We're gonna spend our money.

412
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. That was very very cool. Yeah,

413
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be huge. The King is

414
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: probably my least favorite guy, and I feel like we're

415
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna be done with him shortly. Yeah, it's they really

416
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: wrote him pretty feckless. There's not a whole lot there. Yeah,

417
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: not a whole lot there. Although he did pull a

418
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: stunning in the name of love, a stunning move at

419
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: the end there against the advice of everybody. Was that

420
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: meant to surprise ever anybody or because I very clearly

421
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: that that's what was happening just for ra Nero, that

422
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: was it, right, It was a surprise. Is the guys

423
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: the dad who was pushing it, and remember both of

424
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: his advisors and the macer both said that he should

425
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: do that. The only person who was against it, who

426
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: obviously like I don't trust his hand at all, and

427
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: his hand is very much about his own business, and

428
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a by the way whimp. When

429
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: he was out there on the path with Damon there,

430
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: he really showed that he was not formidable. To be fair,

431
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: the other guy has a pretty wild looking red dragon. Fine,

432
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: like that's the most the hand of the king, right,

433
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: But the other guy is a little unhinged, and he

434
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: has a ridiculous looking red dragon that's more terrifying than

435
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: any other dragon I've seen. Do you notice he's got

436
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: a different bodies type. He's long, he's got like a

437
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: lion's Yeah, but I thought, raf look, rain there is

438
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: one that came in at the end. Looked like it

439
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: would have squashed that guy. I don't know that you

440
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: saw him perched on the side. They looked like they

441
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: were similar. I felt like rain As was like a

442
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: whole Hogan type of a dragon. Just something about red

443
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: from Lord of the Rings Flow throw a little homage there.

444
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: I'd a great show. Crab dude, mean spirit, and he's

445
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: got that face, he's he looks not the most economic

446
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: to getting of getting rid of your, uh, your adversaries.

447
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: Feels like it's gonna be a long, long ago of it.

448
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: A lot to that. I feel like if you hear

449
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: a lot quicker for sure, But if you know that

450
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: crossing this man, the consequences maybe one of the worst, longest,

451
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: most painful deaths imaginable. It makes you. But he's just

452
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna like head like a lot of ships like he's.

453
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: It feels like it's a real time consuming process of elimination.

454
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a while, for sure. It's a brutal

455
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: It's a brutal process of elimination. There's like a hundred

456
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: crabs on that one. Dude's he sounded like not to

457
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: be having a good time. Agony really was despair, not

458
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: at all. I'm in though. We've got Cordless goes off.

459
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't watched it, sorry, well just think. But

460
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: you're set up up the table set man. You know

461
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: we're headed for it. You're because you're we're wondering, Okay,

462
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: how do you how does this fall? All of the

463
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: people involved in this that are the most powerful people

464
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: in this world all basically extinct. Two hundred years later,

465
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: pretty close to extinct. There's not much left of him

466
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: two hundred years later, because man, yeah, I think you're

467
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna have dragging on, dragging violence, and that's gonna cause,

468
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: as you know, a great bit of destruction. I think

469
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: if you make the if you make the niece fourteen

470
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: instead of twelve, it's a little easier to wrap your

471
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: head around. Well, that scene was just that. I think

472
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be that way. So you're like,

473
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: there's no way he can do this correct, But it

474
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: was so obvious that there was no way, Like the

475
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: fact that others are being trying to be reasonable about,

476
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you gotta do the night the two of

477
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: Larian houses, Well, how about I just stay in morning

478
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: for another five years and then we can have because

479
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: that will talk about it. Yeah, right now doesn't seem

480
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: like that. And by the way, the daughters, I love her.

481
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm sad that she's gonna be a place. I think

482
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: this girl's got great presence. Yeah, and she's gone pretty quickly.

483
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: I think if all things are if you believe everything

484
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: that you see, all right, you'll hear from coach cut downs.

485
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: We were already down to seventy three. We gotta get

486
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: down to one another fifty. We gotta get fifty three

487
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: by tomorrow at four o'clock. So you hear from Coach

500
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: we're fresh going into the weekend, and then start our

501
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: preparation in earnest on Carolina coming out of labor day.

502
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: And uh on the injury update front. Um, like I

503
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: told you guys last night, UM tell her delp it

504
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: held out precautionary. In a normal game, they would have

505
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: gone back in, uh bowed them unlike unfortunately a c

506
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: l terror he will miss this season. And then a

507
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: bunch of guys that hopefully we're getting back here in

508
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: the practice the next few days and they're all progressing well.

509
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: But with that, I'll take any questions. But yeah, Kevin,

510
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: can you I just address uh, you know, you've had

511
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lack of continuity because of

512
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: all the injuries on your offense, you know, Michael Woods,

513
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: David Bell. I mean the list goes on and on.

514
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: What can you do between now and the opener to

515
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: make sure that those guys are working as a cohesive

516
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: unit And do you feel like you're kind of playing

517
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: catch up bit all? Not really, America. I think you're

518
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: right in that you have to make every one of

519
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: these practices count as we get forward, as we move

520
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: forward and guys return from injury and those type of things.

521
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: But kind of like we talked about with evaluations, all

522
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: of this is a body of work. So it's all

523
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: the work that you've done in the spring, you've started

524
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: in training camp, in these preseason games. I think they

525
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: all add up to get you ready to play a

526
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: week one. But um, injuries are part of this game

527
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: adventure to guests off the thirty one of the teams

528
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: are dealing with similar things where guys are in and

529
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: out of their line up. You just gotta you gotta

530
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: navigate it. I get a couple of injury things for you,

531
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: um A J. Green and Ronnie Harrison Jr. Are there

532
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: anything significant there where they convince time? No, expect those

533
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: guys to be ready for a week one, okay? And

534
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: then from a roster evaluation standpoint, when guys like Michael

535
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: Woods the second and Jason Winovich missed a bunch of

536
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: time in camp, how hard is that to kind of

537
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: figure out if they should be on your roster when

538
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: you get too week one? Yeah, I think it's, Uh,

539
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: it's part of it, Scott, that that's something that really

540
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: those type of things seem to happen year in and

541
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: year out, where you lose a guy and and you've

542
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: got to really go off what you saw prior to

543
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: losing him, uh, and then go off of your evaluation

544
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: on when you acquired said player. So that's what we'll

545
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: continue to do with with all these positions. And Kevin,

546
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: I have an injury question to Jack Conklin. You've been

547
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: easing him back into practice. Is he ready for a

548
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: full load? Uh? Every game here? Yeah. I think what

549
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: we've done, Jeff, with Jack is make sure that we're

550
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: progressing at an appropriate pace. I think we've done that.

551
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, we'll work through the next four days of

552
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: practice to see where he is and continue to give

553
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: him more. He's done a very very good job with

554
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: everything that we've given him. He kind of has hit

555
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: all those mileposts. But past what we're gonna do tomorrow

556
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 1: doesn't really serve me to to think about what he's

557
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: gonna do. You know, a week from now, six weeks

558
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: from now, really focused on on the next four days

559
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: with Anthony. You know, obviously he's he's having some struggles

560
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: from a coaching and teaching standpoint. You know, you give

561
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: him positive reinforcement, You give him as many reps as

562
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: you can. Is it is it as simple as that? Is?

563
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: It just more and more and more. Well, I think

564
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: with each guy, Tom, I think you you really work

565
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: with each player on a case by case basis. Uh,

566
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: Anthony had a tough stretch. I think everybody understands that.

567
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: But you know, we support our players. We support our

568
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: players when they're going through a tough stretch, whether it's

569
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: and it can be anything. Um, and it's easy to

570
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: do with a guy like Anthony who was very very

571
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: accountable and he works very very hard. So that's what

572
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: I'll continue to do. That's what we'll continue to do

573
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: any Cameron, with a guy like d Anthony Bell. How

574
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: cool is it when an undrafted rookie, you know, flashes,

575
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: makes an impact and then really pushes for a roster's

576
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's uh, it's great, Scott. I don't believe

577
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: we've had the undrafted player make our ruster the last

578
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: couple of years, which means it's it's a very competitive

579
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: roster and this case it's gonna be no different this season.

580
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: So d Anthony has done a nice job. He's flashed

581
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: getting the ball out there last night. He did that

582
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: back at Jacksonville. But it's a it's a competitive battle

583
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: to make these one of these fifty three spots. Hey, Kevin,

584
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: just a David Bell question now, I mean, watching him,

585
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: it just seems like he's he's always in the right

586
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: spot on these routes. That he's a very quarterback friendly

587
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of receiver. I mean, I know so much of

588
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: the talk about him before the draft was a supposed

589
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: lack of speed, but he just really seems to have

590
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: that football speed that translates. I guess what have you

591
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: guys seen from him in that regard over these last

592
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: few months. Yeah? Actually, I think uh David's done a

593
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: nice job with us back to the spring and then

594
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: throughout this training camp. Was was out for a bit

595
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: there with with the foot injury, but he's done his job,

596
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: gets open catches of football. Kind of simple, but he's

597
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: been a very accountable player for us. He works very

598
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: hard in the meeting room, knows what to do, and

599
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: then it's just a matter of reps. And I'm not mistaken.

600
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: You missed the first preseason game, got him some reps

601
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: in that Philly game, got him some more reps last night.

602
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: So it's that's all part of the process for a

603
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: young player. All right. There you have it, Coach h

604
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a post game and then these

605
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: are tense moments around here obviously, and we'll hear from

606
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: you with Andrew in a second. Just from a process standpoint,

607
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Z going into the weekend, how much of the feel

608
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: for what this roster was going to be? Give me

609
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: a percentage of what how confident. It was how much

610
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: was locked in going into the weekend. We did it

611
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: last week and it was felt like a high percent,

612
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: and they were like, I think we had forty five

613
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: just humans that were locks. And then in addition to that,

614
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: you probably had another force roster spots that were locked.

615
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: So I think there were three or four And that's

616
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: going to depend on do you go with three titans,

617
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: do you go with five defensive ends, you go with

618
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: six linebackers, you go with six corners, you go with

619
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: five safety How do those rooms shake out? How do

620
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: you have eight offensive lineman, nine offensive lineman, ten offensive lineman,

621
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, four running backs, five receivers, six receivers. So

622
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of in terms of the roster puzzle,

623
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: and you'll hear Andrew Barry talk about that in a

624
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: little bit that that is going to be you know,

625
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: that's the hardest part. So you can you can say

626
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: right now, I think definitively forty five names that are

627
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: on this roster on fifty three, and then the others

628
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: you can absolutely know who are in competition for those spots,

629
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 1: and then it'll just be about how the rosters particular.

630
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: I can actually I'd say you probably do forty nine

631
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: names that are on this roster. Because Tony Fields the

632
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: way that he's been talking about, he's gonna make this team.

633
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: Richally count I feel like he's gonna make this team.

634
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: So that's two more right there. Felton is going to

635
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: make the team at that fifth receiver spot, so that's three.

636
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: So it's really like I said, three or four spots

637
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: that are left. That's it. And it could be if

638
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: it's linebackers, you know, it could be Kunashik or Dakota

639
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: Allen defensive ends. It could be you know, Roche I

640
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: think Chase Winovich is gonna make It could be Rochelle

641
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: or Isaiah Thomas offensive line. It could be Yelled the

642
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: fro Holt. It could be Blake Cant's. It could be

643
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: um Drew Forbes who got to start with Joel Bettonio.

644
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: Out Wide receiver Michael Woods could make the team even

645
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: though we haven't seen him because they liked what they

646
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 1: saw from him earlier. So that's you know, d' anthony

647
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: I think does make the team. Corner, I'll tell you

648
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: what I think. Sean Jolly has made a very strong

649
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: case for himself to make the seam, he's a true nickel.

650
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: He had the sack strip fumble, he had the tackle

651
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: that allowed d' anthony come over and get his second

652
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: force fumble which recovered. Those three guys I think are

653
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: the three that have come out of left field that

654
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: have a chance to make the same I think he's

655
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: pushing her Miller because of that inside his ability to

656
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: play inside, whereas the Browns already have you know, four

657
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: really five really good outside corners. So does that differentiate him.

658
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what how Pretty feels about him on

659
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: special teams that will matter. Um, but that's kind of that.

660
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: That's it. That's kind of where you're at. And they

661
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: are tough decisions because it's a puzzle, and again it

662
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: is still fluid. Making the initial fifty three doesn't mean

663
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: you're playing against Carolina Panthers. There will be cutdowns that

664
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: come from round Lee. There could be trades that are made,

665
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, and then there are guys who will be

666
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: brought back that the Browns will would like to keep

667
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: in the program and bring back to the practice squad.

668
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: And so that's another factor with how this will all go. Yeah,

669
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: just because it's what it looks like Tuesday, at four o'clock,

670
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: not necessarily the following week at Carolina for that for

671
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: that regular season debut. The man who's inevitably in charge

672
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: of making these decisions, Andrew Barry zegoes one on one

673
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: with him coming up next us to clear the Browns

691
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: It's not going to be easy, is it now? It's uh,

692
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: it's always my least favorite time a year. Um. Not

693
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: actually just because it's they're hard decisions strategically, but um,

694
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: because you've been with these guys for for for several

695
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: months in um they've really worked hard and buster their

696
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: tails and done everything they can to to make the team.

697
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: And it's always tough when you're making those decisions, but

698
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: probably even more importantly when you're commuting those communicating those

699
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: decisions um to individuals who may fall you know, a

700
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: little bit short, um because they've done everything that you've asked.

701
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: And we bring a lot of good guys into the building.

702
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: So it's always it's always a little bit emotionally draining

703
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: during that weekend. All right, walk us through the process.

704
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: I imagine there's a personnel department headed by you. You've

705
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of your guys, have your opinions. There's

706
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff who works with these guys on the

707
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: bailis they have their opinions. How do you guys kind

708
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: of get together and and come up with the final

709
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: collaborative solution. Yeah. So it really is something that we

710
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: work through over the course of you know, five or

711
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: six weeks. It's not necessarily something where we we you know,

712
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: operate in a vacuum and um, you know, just kind

713
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: of make a decision at the end. Um. You know,

714
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: really we try and take every player's total body of

715
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: work into considerations, so not just you know, the last

716
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: preseason game or the preseason games only. We have you

717
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: know a ton of practices throughout the months, joint practices

718
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, and we really try and look at

719
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: every player's work holistically. Um. You know, throughout the last

720
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: five or six weeks, we've had several both player development

721
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: and roster meetings as we go, UM, where those list

722
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: of you know, target individuals kind of get narrower or

723
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: narrower as we get more familiar with the guys that

724
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: we have on the ninety man or I guess at

725
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: this point the eight man um and so you know, really, um,

726
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: actually just as soon as today, we'll we'll have kind

727
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: of like our final roster meeting going into you know,

728
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: the last preseason game. Um. And really at this point

729
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: it's it's really only you know, maybe one or two

730
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: decisions that um, you're really keeping a close eye on.

731
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a longer process than just the

732
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: fifty three mandate. Would you say the majority of the

733
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: time you and the coaches see their rooms the same way?

734
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: Is it different often? How does that? How does that look?

735
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: I think it's probably it probably depends on when you

736
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: ask the question. So, um, there's certainly more variation earlier

737
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: in the month, UM, and then as you get later

738
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: you as you get just kind of more information on

739
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: each player, UM, there's a lot there's typically a lot

740
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: more consistency. But that being said, there's you know, usually

741
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: the um, you know, differences in perspective are um, you know,

742
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: at the really kind of the margins of the roster,

743
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: and then really like we think of playing the roster

744
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: together as almost like a puzzle piece, so you know,

745
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: every guy we bring in may have, um, you know,

746
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: have some type of redeemon quality or as something that

747
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: should do well. So when you're building in the back

748
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: ends of these different position groups, it's not oftentimes of

749
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: like okay, hey is this player good enough or not

750
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: good enough to be on the fifty three? But it

751
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: may be like, Okay, what does this player do well?

752
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: And maybe a narrower sense than your starters or you know,

753
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: your your higher end players, and then the question becomes

754
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: based on what they do well, how do they compliment

755
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the group, or how do they compliment

756
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: the broader roster or the kicking game. So it's really

757
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: picking a skill set out to round out your team

758
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: as a posted, deciding hey, is this player good enough?

759
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: And this is this player? Is there a coach that

760
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: you think, hey, you have a future in scouting if

761
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: you want it. I think I think we have um,

762
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: very strong evaluators really across the roster. Um. You know,

763
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: I'll probably I'll identify two individuals, but it's not I don't.

764
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: I don't mean it to be exclusive, but um, you know,

765
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: I think Bill Callahan he's an excellent evaluator. Um. And

766
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: then the other person I identify as a group pett

767
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: saying I think he's an excellent evaluator. All right, there

768
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: you go, nice and endorsements for those two. Um, Okay,

769
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: you're talking about the construction and we know there's fifty three,

770
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: but then there's also this practice squad and so somebody

771
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: that you may say goodbye to you also may keep

772
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: in the program. How do you kind of evaluate will

773
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: they be able to get through to get back to us?

774
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: How much does that matter? And who maybe makes the

775
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: fifty three versus who gets cut that maybe the rest

776
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: of the league doesn't know about him as much as

777
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: we know about him. I would say there's probably less

778
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: strategy around that than people think. Okay, that's not to

779
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: say that it doesn't come into consideration. Um, you know,

780
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: maybe a player that we have visibility into every day

781
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: every week, Um, that may not have played a lot

782
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: of snaps. Um, you know in the preseason. Maybe a

783
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: player that we like and then we feel like we

784
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: can start you know, start him on the practice squad. Um.

785
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: You know, but typically like those are only maybe you know,

786
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: one or two decisions. Um. We really try and put

787
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: the guys on the team that we think deserve to

788
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: be there with the you know, with the total body

789
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: of work. Um. You know, there's not as much you know,

790
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: gamesmanship for us in that regard. All Right, you mentioned

791
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: it's part of the construction, and you can look at

792
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: it and say, okay, we have fifty three, we have

793
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: an offense, we have a defense, we have three specialists three.

794
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: That's not always how it works out, obviously, how do

795
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: you deal with and I'm not saying this is the

796
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: case for us, but maybe it is. If the defense

797
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: has more guys that should be on the fifty three

798
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: than offense, how do you weigh that? And where do

799
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: you try to get that balance from one side of

800
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: the ball or the other. I don't necessarily such a

801
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: grape to the notion that it should be balanced. Like

802
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: I think you can have well balanced teams. I think

803
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: you can have well lopsided teams. So, um, you know,

804
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: our perspective and our philosophy is, let's try and keep

805
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: the best fifty three, you know, with maybe some you know,

806
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: some some loose constraints. Right, We're probably not going to

807
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: have you know, zero offensive alignment on a kickers, um,

808
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: you know, but within like what are you know, the

809
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: traditional arms we don't really operate under under those constraints.

810
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: And a big reason is because every year every team

811
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: sets their fifty three. But it's really fluid throughout the year,

812
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: and it's probably very transactional throughout probably the first you know,

813
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: month to six weeks of the season. Um, so I

814
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: think to be handcuffed by positional constraints, certainly, like in

815
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: the first initial cut, Um, when you also don't know

816
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: what pool of players is necessarily going to be available

817
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: to you in the coming days. I just never subscribe

818
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: to that notion. That made a ton of sense. How

819
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: do you look at let's take the tight end room

820
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: for example, you got David, you got Harrison, and then

821
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: you've got some guys you know, Millard forrestall the kid

822
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: of Griffin Stewart's played very well. Is that your Mitchell

823
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: Payne's an interesting kind of young prospect. Then you Johnny

824
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: stand you can do a bunch of things. How do

825
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: you balance that? Okay, we know there's two for sure

826
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: on the fifty three, right, Sometimes we like to go

827
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: three tight ends. Sometimes we do four versus the fifty

828
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: three versus. Okay, maybe we can get a couple of

829
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: these guys on our price. We school, we still have

830
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: four tight ends in the program, but we only have

831
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: two the count on the fifty three or something like that. Yeah,

832
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: so that that definitely does come into consideration, Nate. Um.

833
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: That really kind of goes to the puzzle piece nature

834
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: of that puzzle piece. Yeah, I think it is like

835
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: it is, I mean it's always UM. You know, it's challenging. UM,

836
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: but that's where the collaboration between your scouting staff and

837
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: your coaching staff. And look, every year's unique in terms

838
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: of how you play the team. You know, based on UM.

839
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: You know the strengths of the players that you have, UM,

840
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: and we'll just construct the roster accordingly, all right, sticking

841
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: on that offensive side, and it just I'll kind of

842
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: go through the rush real quickly. Feels like almost too

843
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: much talent at running back in a good way. Offensive line,

844
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: same defensive lines. I think there's six seven edge guys.

845
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: You could legitimately make the case keep lineback, the same corner,

846
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: same safety, same receiver. Though, how are you with that room?

847
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: What do you think about that room? What do you

848
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: think about the possibility of adding to that room or

849
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: the likelihood of adding to that room? Yeah, feel feel

850
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: good about that room. UM. You know, obviously it starts

851
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: with you know, with a mari UM. We've liked Donovan's progression,

852
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: and then we have a number of younger players that

853
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: UM are gonna have the chance to assume, you know,

854
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: larger roles this season. I think receivers, you know, when

855
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: we talk about you know, it's probably like the fourth

856
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: fifth time I've mentioned puzzle piece. Like I think to

857
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: some degree that's like the ultimate you know, puzzle piece position, um,

858
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: because you know, you can have a room constructed with

859
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: individuals that have specific straints, um, you know that allow

860
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: them to perform certain roles within the passing offense over

861
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: the course of the year. But at the same time,

862
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: we do have a number of young players that need

863
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: to step up, you know. To your question about adding

864
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: to the room, um, you know, we'll take the same

865
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 1: approach there that we do. And you know, any any

866
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: other room on the ross or where where if we

867
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: have the opportunity you to, um, you know, increase the

868
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: base level of talent, you know, at the appropriate cost,

869
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, we'll do it. How many calls are made

870
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: during this time in terms of, hey, you're pretty deep

871
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: at this position, We're pretty deep at this position. Can

872
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: we help each other out? Hey, are you gonna cut

873
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: this guy? Because if so, send him to us. Things

874
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: like that. This is the most active time of the

875
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: year in terms of, you know, volume of training calls.

876
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: I can't say that it's the most active time in

877
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: terms of execution of trade deals, um, but it's it's

878
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: this is a very very busy week on that front.

879
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: I go back to Wyatt Teller being acquired, I think

880
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: while I was doing pregame for the final preseason game

881
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Now he's a two time All

882
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: Pro and a pro bowler and all of that. That's

883
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: more the exception than the rule, isn't it. That's that's

884
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: that's that's that's correct. Usually that's usually you're you know,

885
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: making trades for UM players that are a little bit

886
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: more at the margin of your rosters. But that's not

887
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: to say that there isn't um a big trade or

888
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: two that that happens every year. All good stuff with

889
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: Z for the pregame show with a B great reiteration,

890
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: that's what I do things. Yeah, so here you get

891
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 1: just you get this thing down to fifty three. You'll

892
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: do that tomorrow and then uh and then away you go,

893
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: UM and this stuff will start to leak out. My

894
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: guess is over the you know you're gonna get little

895
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: little bits and pieces here and that's right. Yeah, you

896
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: have that look forward to UM. It's a it's a

897
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: tough time. Joe's talked about it with us and he's

898
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna join us here at the top of the hour

899
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: as well about even mentions it towards the Remember this

900
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: was a couple of weeks ago when he was where

901
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned at the at the end of his career.

902
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: He wouldn't really get too emotionally invested in the whole,

903
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: just like you. He can't name the cows, can't do it. Yeah,

904
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: well no, I warned him about that. Didn't go well.

905
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: He said, I'll tell you what, no one's lived a

906
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: better August than him. August. He's had a great August

907
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: tree blinds, he's building, he's doing fishing with the kids.

908
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,560

960
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,960

961
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: talk to the half half. You're not you're not. None

962
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: of years are old enough for football yet. Right. So,

963
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: my son Jack has just started flagging football, but it

964
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: hasn't even been organized like scoring and things. I got

965
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: it just drills and they kind of scrimmage. But um,

966
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: I want to say, next year, when he turns seven

967
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: to the first grade, they can start playing organized flight football. Okay,

968
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: so you have like, are you is he is gonna

969
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: play and get in games? Like, well, he have games

970
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: formal formal games this fall, I I hope, so next year.

971
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: I think that's next year right now? Okay, but not

972
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: this year. No. Alright, Well, when you coach that, because

973
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: you will, because you're gonna, I know it's gonna go.

974
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: I've got a wrist band playbook set up for you

975
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: that it's the easiest way to teach the game. You

976
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: give every kid a different color wristband and you just

977
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: say just follow your color, and they learned through osmosis

978
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: versus saying lead or whatever. And you don't even worry

979
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: about any of that. You just you'd say follow the color,

980
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: and then like little dogs, they do. Yeah, it's beautiful.

981
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing. Look forward to that. You've got

982
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: a good August, buddy fun on the pre game, You've

983
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: got your doing your fishing. Last time we talked to you,

984
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: actually Z was texting you. You were on a zoom

985
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: in like a pre production. You're building tree blinds. So

986
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got a lot done here this month, sir.

987
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: It's been a very productive and fun August. Three trips

988
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, plenty of trips to the tree stand, lots

989
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: of dates in the boat, fishing and tubing with the kids,

990
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 1: and right outside of the state capital. So we've definitely

991
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff in before they started school

992
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: here last Wednesday. And the good news is we're coming

993
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: back out to Cleveland for the home opener and then

994
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: I'll be out for the Thursday game, and uh so

995
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: we got a lot a lot of more fun things

996
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: here before September end. Pure joy, baby, it's pure joy. Yes, Yes,

997
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: let's go. And of course the drafted a great pure

998
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: Joy in preseason game to move real quickly, and then

999
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: we'll move on obviously because we're not dwelling on the preseason,

1000
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: but you were there calling the action. What what what what

1001
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what you saw on that third and

1002
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: final preseason game Againsts, Yeah, it's always tough to really

1003
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: kind of extrapolight too much because you're all of your

1004
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: best players are still being held out in that situation.

1005
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: But it was an up and dound game. I thought

1006
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: Jacoby set even though his stats didn't reflected, I thought

1007
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: he was pretty solid in that game. He did a

1008
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: nice job to live in the football where it needed

1009
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: to be. He wanted to improve the rapport with his

1010
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: tight ends and running backs, and he hit the tight

1011
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: ends a bunch of times when he was in there. Um,

1012
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: they weren't able to move to football. A lot of

1013
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: it was drops and inefficiency at the receiver position get

1014
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: into the right spot, um, which is concerning, there's no doubt.

1015
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 1: And in the secondary, I think you lost Grant early

1016
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,919
Speaker 1: on in that game, and it seemed like the communication

1017
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: wasn't there because there was a lot of the secondary

1018
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: and Dustin took advantage of it. So overall, up and down,

1019
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: there's the things you're gonna take from it. But going

1020
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: into the first game. It kind of leaves you with

1021
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: a I'm exactly sure where they are right now, and

1022
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: so a little bit unsettled. But um, you definitely still

1023
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: have a couple of weeks to kind of tighten things

1024
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: up and hopefully get everybody healthy that got nicked up

1025
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: in the game on Sunday or on Saturday, and hopefully

1026
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: you can give that win down in Carolina. Joe, how

1027
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: do you make sense of of I mean, you went,

1028
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: you saw three different games, you saw different approaches from

1029
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: different opponents. Um, if you're Stefanski, if if you ran

1030
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: a team, if you're Andrew Berry and you ran a team,

1031
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: how would you run preseason? Because it's it's so different,

1032
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: Like as you mentioned, you know, we played some starters,

1033
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: but not all, uh not our best players, not the

1034
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: ones who if they got hurt, you'd be in a

1035
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: whole lot of trouble. Yet we played ber Set and

1036
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: he played in the game, so you're trying to get

1037
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: him a look, how do you balance all of that?

1038
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: Because I mean, I love this off the top of

1039
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: the show, I think preseason football is a really tough

1040
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: it's a tough watch. I know coaches are getting a

1041
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: lot out of it. It's a tough watch from a

1042
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: from a spectator standpoint. Yeah, it's a really tough balancing

1043
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: act because there's nothing worse than your star players potentially

1044
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: getting injured in a meaningless game. And so there's like

1045
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: the human element of just thinking about that and if

1046
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: it would happen, how much more serious it would be?

1047
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: Just from your own mental standpoint, Why did I put

1048
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: them out there right? Like you're gonna beating yourself up

1049
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: about it and the family beating you up to I

1050
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: think that certainly plays into it. Obviously, there's something that

1051
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: can be done as far as getting things accomplished in

1052
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: those preseason games. So for me personally, when I was

1053
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: healthier as a younger player, I like getting some of

1054
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: those reps because I felt like when you're playing in

1055
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: front of fans in a stadium and you're playing with

1056
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: the normal rhythm of time outs and the normal flow

1057
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: of the game, I think there's a drone that you

1058
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: get and like a fatigue that happens that it's nice

1059
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: to get some of that out of your system during

1060
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: the preseason. Um it is also nice to feel like

1061
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 1: you're kind of getting your feet under yourself a little

1062
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 1: bit with your teammates all out there like the star units.

1063
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: But I will say that they do get more of

1064
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: that in practice than we did because they are doing

1065
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: the joint practice. So they are getting a little bit

1066
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: of that in the joint practices. Um. And I will

1067
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: say two, with the additional games and now they're playing

1068
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: seventeen games, it does make every regular season game a

1069
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: little less important as far as just the strict wins

1070
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: and losses goes um. And so there, I'm sure something

1071
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: they probably don't say, but it definitely comes into consideration

1072
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: is hey, we're okay using that first game kind of

1073
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: not that you're going to ease into it, but like

1074
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: if it takes the entire first games and just kind

1075
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: of figure things out, Um, we're o ka figuring it

1076
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: out in the first game versus putting guys out there

1077
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: in preseason and potentially having significant injuries to our best

1078
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: players in those preseason settings, which they can be a

1079
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: little bit more help or spelter. I think your players

1080
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 1: can be a little bit more exposed to injury because

1081
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 1: you aren't game planning, because you do have a mix

1082
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: of starters and backups and guys that maybe don't have

1083
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: as much body control and aren't used to being in

1084
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: the positions that they should be in, and maybe are

1085
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: a little bit out of control because they're trying to

1086
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: make the roster and they're trying to, you know, get

1087
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: the coaches attention, and sometimes that leads to them taking

1088
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: chances and falling on back with people's legs and jumping

1089
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: on piles when they shouldn't. So I think all those

1090
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: things go and are taking into consideration, and I think

1091
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: that's why most teams and I just don't see him

1092
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: playing many of their great players in the preseason makes sense,

1093
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: And there is no right answer, and a lot of

1094
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: teams are gonna do it a lot of different ways.

1095
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk for a second now, just kind of about

1096
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: this football team and we come out and obviously you

1097
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier. The receivers, that's a big question. I

1098
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: have two questions for you. Half. Number one, are you

1099
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: okay with the wide receiver room is currently constructed? Is

1100
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: that a room that you would like to add to?

1101
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: And then number two, Number two, how quickly in reality

1102
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: can somebody who comes into the team as you were

1103
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 1: on many teams that brought four or five six guys

1104
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: in after the man cuts. How quickly. Can they actually

1105
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: be productive? Well to your first point, I'm with both

1106
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, like I was hoping that there was

1107
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: going to be a veteran added to that room at

1108
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: some point during training camp. Um, if for nothing else,

1109
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: just to have somebody who's reliable, like, hey, you know

1110
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be to that spot. He knows how to

1111
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: get open. He may not be as fast as they

1112
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: used to, you can kind of utilize the strength, and

1113
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: that offensive staff is really smart, like they can understand

1114
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 1: what you do well in all plays to your strengths

1115
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: and put you into those positions for success within the offense. Um.

1116
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: But I think they're pretty stepfast the entire time about Hey,

1117
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: we feel good about this room and we want to

1118
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: see who the guys are that kind of can step

1119
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: up and win a job and garner a little bit

1120
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: more playtime. Uh. And I think if they would have

1121
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: done something, it would have been at the beginning of

1122
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,280
Speaker 1: training camp. I don't think they would have waited until

1123
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: now because you're getting a little bit later in the

1124
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: season to try to start adding guys, especially for that

1125
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: first week. But to your second point, they said, Um,

1126
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: I think if you do get a veteran receiver in here.

1127
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of him understanding the vocabulary and

1128
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: then quickly figuring out, all right, hey, these are the

1129
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: routes they're gonna ask me to run. You know, maybe

1130
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: these are my package of fifteen plays that I'm gonna

1131
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: be in there even one week after throwing up And

1132
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: as long as he's able to have that communication with

1133
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback and have that trust about a you know,

1134
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: if this is what you see on let's say a

1135
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: back shoulder ball, this is where I wanted. Hey, if

1136
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: I'm running a dagger or a gig across the middle, like,

1137
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: this is how I like the football. Those are things

1138
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: I think, especially when you bring an experience receiver, uh,

1139
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: you can get on the same page really quickly, within

1140
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: just a week. I mean, I don't think you'd be

1141
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: able to run your entire offense, and you probably wouldn't

1142
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: want them out there for every snap, but you can

1143
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: give you fifteen or twenty routes, which would be a

1144
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: huge hemp, especially if you've got some of those young

1145
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: guys struggling. Joe, I want to ask you about Anthony Schwartz.

1146
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: He's had two great weeks of practice, but when the

1147
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: lights are on in the games. We've we've seen the drops, right,

1148
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,919
Speaker 1: we saw what happened when you know you can't run

1149
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: into a linebacker on that route that leads to the interception. Um,

1150
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: if you I don't, I guess has anything like that

1151
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: ever happened to you where it feels like it's very

1152
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: clearly a mental thing? My hunch is probably not. But

1153
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: have you ever had a teammate that that just there

1154
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: was a mental block of something that they've done a

1155
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: million times for whatever reason, just couldn't get over it.

1156
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: We've seen it in other sports. Have you ever had

1157
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: any firsthand experience with that? So as alignment? The nice

1158
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: thing is that it's never been that extreme because typically

1159
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: my position, you can just go a little harder and

1160
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: you tryd to overcome whatever maybe mental limitations you have.

1161
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: Certainly there's been times where I feel like maybe I

1162
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: didn't have enough quickness out of my set, and so

1163
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to overcompensate by going harder, and maybe

1164
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: it made me a little bit out of balance and

1165
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: susceptible of some other things. But when you're talking about

1166
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: a catching the football or kicking the football, or see

1167
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: snapping the football, those are purely mental, just like a

1168
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: golf swing, just like a pup. Like if you get

1169
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: that mental side of your head, you can't try harder.

1170
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: That's just not the answer. Like the only way you

1171
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: get beyond that is through the mind. And you know,

1172
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different ways, working with psychologists, meditation,

1173
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: things like that, practice building confidence in a game setting,

1174
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: but you have to get beyond that mental block or

1175
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's like the yips, like going

1176
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: the first base, like it's easy, we know you can

1177
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: do it, but if your brain is telling you, you

1178
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: can't do it until you're able to prove to your

1179
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: brain and one of the different methods to do that,

1180
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to do it. And unfortunately,

1181
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: that's what it seems like Schwartz he's doing with right now.

1182
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: Like you guys said, he looks great in practice, and

1183
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes game day and the

1184
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: routine things are not routine anymore. Fortunately they have not

1185
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: been routine, and the Browns need him where they need

1186
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: somebody to fill that role in this offense. And we'll

1187
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on if the Browns do

1188
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: ultimately end up making any moves at that receiver position.

1189
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: Al right, off, what's it like? So today the Browns

1190
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: had to walk through no media availability. They're already down

1191
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: to seventy three, they've got to get down to fifty three.

1192
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: What's it kind of like in a walkthrough today? What

1193
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: is the atmosphere like? What are people thinking? Because there

1194
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: are people who know they're on the team, and we

1195
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: were saying it earlier. I think there's probably forty eight

1196
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: to forty nine, maybe even fifty guys who know for

1197
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: sure they're on the team, and it's gonna come down

1198
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: to three spots across a variety of positions depending on

1199
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,479
Speaker 1: how they want to fill out this roster. What's what's

1200
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: the mood? I think the mood is trepidation, Right, you're

1201
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: kind of walking on eg joke a little bit. Even

1202
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: though guys that feel like they're probably safe, that are

1203
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: maybe in that forty five range where us as stands

1204
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: us as of the members are going, oh yeah, he's

1205
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,919
Speaker 1: a lock, those guys are still nervous because you never

1206
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: have any idea who is going to be a surprise

1207
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: cut from another team, and even though you've clearly won

1208
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: out in your position group and yep, they're definitely gonna

1209
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: keep let's say, like tight ends. Oh, we know we're

1210
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna keep three tight ends. They've they've told you that

1211
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: or whatever that looks like. But all of a sudden, Oh,

1212
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,959
Speaker 1: the Browns are looking at the waiver wires and there's

1213
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: a tight end over here that we have rated significantly

1214
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 1: higher than somebody that we have on the roster. And

1215
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: even though he's done everything he can to win that job,

1216
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: and he feels like he's easily won that job, there's

1217
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: somebody else on another team that got cut that shouldn't

1218
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: have been cut, and all of a sudden, now the

1219
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: Browns are saying, hey, we can improve our roster by

1220
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: bringing him in, and we didn't expect it. So I

1221
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: still think that there's a lot of trepidation even among

1222
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: the guys who clearly won the spot within that room

1223
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: that they're in um And I would guess that right now,

1224
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: because the roster is unsettled, the walkthrough is probably mostly

1225
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: revere you from the weekend's game, where they're going over

1226
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: corrections and maybe they're just barely starting to look towards

1227
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the Panthers, where they're maybe start to walk through some

1228
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: of the basic concepts they're maybe trying out a few

1229
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: playing that the coaches had drawn up that they think

1230
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: they like versus different looks that the Panthers will get in.

1231
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: So they're just gonna start putting it on tape so

1232
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: that those coaches can then take that film of the

1233
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: walkthrough and go back and start kind of evaluating and

1234
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: talking about, Hey, how do we like this concept versus

1235
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: the Panther's offense or defense? How do we like it

1236
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: out of this personnel grouping? How does it look when

1237
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: our guys did it? So I think it's it's kind

1238
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: of like a rough draft day, And honestly, they're just

1239
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: trying to get through those final cuts before they really

1240
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: buckled down and do some real football stuff. How much

1241
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: more advantageous for the teams is that to have this

1242
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: coming two weeks before the start of the season, as

1243
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: opposed to the password come kind of over Labor Day

1244
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: weekend and guys who are just added the team would have,

1245
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of days of practice to get ready.

1246
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Now you'll have you know, a couple you'll have at

1247
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: least some work. Oh, and get the playbook a full

1248
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: week earlier. It's almost like having a bye week. You know,

1249
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: like we would play Wednesday or Thursday, and then you

1250
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: come in Friday, you do the review and cuts what

1251
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: happened kind of on the weekend and through Monday Tuesday. Um.

1252
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: But for the most part, it felt like you were

1253
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: moving right into a normal week, and if anybody got

1254
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: teamed up, like it was kind of tough to get

1255
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: healthy in that short span. You had a lot less

1256
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: time to start practicing against your first opponent. Whereas now

1257
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: you've got two full weeks, basically a bye week and

1258
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: then a normal game week, So you've got a lot

1259
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,439
Speaker 1: of extra time, which is really nice to be able

1260
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: to get guys healthy, but then also install that game

1261
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: plan in a reasonable amount of time and then you

1262
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: can tweak it right Like in a typical week, you're

1263
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: installing on Wednesday and Thursday, and if something doesn't look right,

1264
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: you don't have a whole lot of time to either

1265
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: scrap it or tweak it, or or go back to

1266
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: the drawing board and kind of start over in those

1267
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: personnel groupings or uh some of those formations. But now

1268
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: you've got an extra full week, you can basically go

1269
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: through a full week of game planning and then start

1270
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: over from the beginning if you wanted to. It's if

1271
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: there was areas of need or position groups that you

1272
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: just didn't feel comfortable with that game plan. If you're

1273
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: going to Camp Randle Saturday, I am you know it, man,

1274
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be a victory hopefully Illinois State.

1275
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: But it'll be a good one because it's a night

1276
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: game and the kids are so excited, they're so fired.

1277
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Don't they have no idea if it's Alabama or Illinois State.

1278
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: So to be able to put a w in the

1279
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: in the win column for them will hopefully be a

1280
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: great time. Give me a a hof Saturday tailgate for

1281
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: a seven o'clock prime time Camp Randle kick. What's that

1282
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: look like? Oh, baby, baby, it looks it looks a

1283
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: lot more different, a little different. But we're gonna bring

1284
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: the kids, like I said, So we'll get there probably

1285
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: like three four, and then we'd like to go down.

1286
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: The band is huge in Wisconsin, like a lot of places.

1287
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure Collumbus is the same thing. So we'll kind

1288
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: of watch like the little pregame band concert with the kids,

1289
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: will watch the players show up and they do this

1290
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: cool arch march where they kind of walk it's not

1291
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: that far, you know, maybe a quarter mile less than

1292
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: that even um from where they get off the buses

1293
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: and the fans kind of line both sides like a

1294
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of teams do before they get to the stadium

1295
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: to watch that. And then we'll bring some cornhole and

1296
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: some some footballs to the parking lot and um the

1297
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: cooler of of refreshments and just let the kids run

1298
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: around with some of their friends that are coming. So

1299
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: it'll be a great day. Hopefully the weather is off.

1300
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully make some good memories. They will. Everybody make it

1301
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: to jump around. That's the plan. That's what we said.

1302
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: So being in the night game, it's gonna be a

1303
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: little later night than they normally have because we're we're

1304
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: we're tough parents. We get them in bed by like

1305
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: seven thirty or eight every night. But that's what we said.

1306
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: All right, kids, get art. We're gonna stay until jump

1307
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: around and then we'll leave after jump around. So that's one.

1308
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: That's one thing. You know, here's the thing in folks

1309
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: about half the man always has a plan. There's a

1310
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: plan for execution, is there at This is the perfect plan.

1311
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: This is exactly how you do it. You got the

1312
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: kids in prime time seven o'clock jump around Illinois State.

1313
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: You're guaranteed to win. Kids are gonna have the time

1314
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: of their lives. Good job out of you, haff Thanks

1315

Speaker 1: for your time, brother. I appreciate thanks for having me on.

1316
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I know one thing about me and my wife does

1317
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: the same thing. If there's no plan, I'm a real jackass.

1318
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: If there's a plan, I'm dialed in. I'm ready to go.

1319
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time. Before you get out of here.

Speaker 1: I believe I can read directly from the state why

1362
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: they come up with that name? Whop please? South Carolina

1363
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: is live rooster mascot is about to debut a new

1364
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: name change, a new alias for the mascot, formerly known

1365
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: as Sir Big Spur was. It will be announced sometime

1366
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: between now and the game Cocks kickoff the season September

1367
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: three against Georgia State. The university confirmed to the State

1368
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: we gott to rename the guy. Why the name change

1369
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: boils down to a disagreement between the bird's original owners,

1370
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 1: Mary Snelling and rob Ron Albertini and the new owners,

1371
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: Beth and Van Clark, over whether or not the animals

1372
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: comb on its head should be trimmed. According to the

1373
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: report out of the Charleston newspaper, the original owners trim

1374
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: the rooster's comb, a red, fleshy area on its head

1375
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: to make the bird look more like a fighting game cock.

1376
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,759
Speaker 1: The clerks have opted to keep the comb intact, citing

1377
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: the health benefits to the bird, in agreement with the

1378
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: original owners allowing the us of the Sir Big Spur

1379
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: name is expired in USC is guiding the process to

1380
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: select a new name. The clerks have not changed the

1381
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: Twitter profile to mascot. The new name won't be Big Spur,

1382
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,759
Speaker 1: which was the name of us for USC's costume mascot

1383
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: in the pre nineteen eighties and before the creation of Cocky.

1384
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: The university's legal team advised against using the old name

1385
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 1: Big Spur, but was suggested by many fans because of

1386
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: a close relationship to Sir Big Spur. What about not

1387
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Big Spur. So I'm just gonna show you what that

1388
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: would have been funny to do. So this was the choice,

1389
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: as done by the student newspaper at South Carolina. I

1390
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: don't think I'm going to say that on the air, Please, please,

1391
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: don't you know. I don't think we're gonna say that. Um,

1392
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: I saw this this weekend and I was like, please, God,

1393
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: don't say this. I'm not saying it. I'm not saying it.

1394
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: So they've named him, They've named the the rooster, the

1395
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: General as opposed to that one or Sir Big Spur

1396
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: or anything like that. They could have even called him

1397
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: General Spur. What I want to know from you, first

1398
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: of all, isn't that just a delicious piece of nonsense? Um?

1399
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: What is the going rate for a used rooster mascot? Like?

1400
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: How much was he said for? I mean, it's got

1401
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: to be absurd, And so I'm gonna I'm gonna give

1402
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: a number that I don't have an answer I really

1403
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: am looking for. I'm really just trying to guess because

1404
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: I think it could be anywhere between like fifty bucks

1405
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: or five thousand. It's an enormous grant came to my mind,

1406
01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:01,879
Speaker 1: and outrageous. Roosters are the worst suck as much as anything.

1407
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: They're gill tempered. Don't they wake you up to the

1408
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: attack you? They're the worst. Like the notion, I just

1409
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: find it. The whole thing is insane. But the idea

1410
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: of like how do you do how do you settle

1411
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: on a price for the bird. I don't know, like

1412
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: if I swapped him out, would anybody notice? Nope. I

1413
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: can't imagine why Big spur though, I still don't get it.

1414
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Is that, like what they called it, they have the

1415
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: spurs they have on their when they come at you,

1416
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: they have the spurs there. You remember in Kenny Powers

1417
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: is in Mexico, remember that went he had a fighter. Yeah,

1418
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,680
Speaker 1: and then little Jerry Seinfeld and Seinfeld was in the

1419
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: next two. Jerry Seinfeld was a great It's a great one,

1420
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: isn't that great? God? The sec is ludicrous. Um. By

1421
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: the way, I watched a commite speaking of Seinfeld, watched

1422
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: a comedian, Uh, comedians and cars getting confin those great

1423
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: to paratroop in on it's we we we Usually that's

1424
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: usually like the final thing, like once it's perfect any

1425
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: minutes and some those are longer. Most most could be

1426
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: like twelve minutes. Yeah. So we watched Steve Martin last night.

1427
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: He was great, so great, and their card like broke down,

1428
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: which was hilarious and Martin was not pleased about it.

1429
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that the car broke down because it's

1430
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: like if you done this bit before. Yeah, Yeah, Jerry's annoyed. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1431
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: those are great. It's funny he's done. He's just done

1432
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: with it. I've done it, I guess he. I mean,

1433
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: who else more could he talk to? He did pretty

1434
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: much everybody you'd want to Like can most people you

1435
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: really wanted him to do, he did like three times

1436
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 1: or twice. True. Yeah, I would have liked one more

1437
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: with l D because the first LD one was only

1438
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: like twelve minutes, and I felt like I would have

1439
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: liked to have seen a thirty minute Dure. His Super

1440
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 1: Dave ones were great too. The Super Daves were the best.

1441
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: The Cosmo Kramer one is unbelievable. Hearing Kramer like, go

1442
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: to Jay Moore's house unreal. I just watched that one,

1443
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: and I just watched Elaine. Elaine was getting Yeah. Yeah,

1444
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: the Superdaves are really remarkable because Super Daves really into it. Um, well,

1445
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: right now I can't go to this, to this top story.

1446
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 1: We're having all this funds. We won't do that, So

1447
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: let's just go through some of the other things that

1448
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: are out there. Um, Mike Tomlin having an interesting time

1449
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: with his quarterback. They're gonna go Trabisky clearly, and then

1450
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: they'll go to pick it at some point if it

1451
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: doesn't work with Trabisky. They're opening schedule is brutal, absolutely brutal.

1452
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: We want to the other day, Um, here you go,

1453
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: here's your Steelers. So they've got Bengals at Cincinnati, Patriots,

1454
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: US Jets at Bill's Bucks, Dolphins at Eagles. That's pretty

1455
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: brutal through the end of October is what they go.

1456
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: I would say based on right now, they're the only

1457
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: thing for sure is they'll be favored against the Jets

1458
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: and then maybe Patriots spinning with the Patriots look like

1459
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: Week one. Everything else, they'll be a dog up until

1460
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: the start of November. And that's also coincides with their

1461
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: bye week, so you could see them after Philly because

1462
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: then they go Saints Bengals at home. At that point,

1463
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: you could go to picket and you get the bye week.

1464
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: If you want to do it, you could do it

1465
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: that way. That's where it seems to make the most sense. Here.

1466
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: They have a tough start. We have an easy start

1467
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 1: we must capitalize on, or a favorable start. Nothing's easy

1468
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Favorable start that the Browns have to

1469
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: capitalize on. You've got to be in a good spot

1470
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: after those first four games four, three and one, absolutely

1471
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: absolutely do um other things. In Pittsburgh, Deante Johnson t J.

1472
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Watt both exited the preseason finale with injuries. Uh no

1473
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: golf for the Lions in that game. They kept most

1474
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: of their guys out. They kept people out. And then

1475
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 1: the crazy story out of Washington is is wild and

1476
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: he had kind of a send it to me there.

1477
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Starting running back's Brian Romson, the kid out of Alabama,

1478
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: big bruising back. He just gets carjacked and shot and

1479
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: he's unfortunately in stable condition, which is great. Just driving

1480
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:00,799
Speaker 1: crazy story. Shot multiple times at arm arm robbery attempt um.

1481
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,839
Speaker 1: So that's out there as well. Sam Donald significant ankle injury,

1482
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: so he's gonna miss four to six. So that's Matt

1483
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: Correll and Sam Donald both down. Baker stand for Carolina

1484
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: this season. That's the way that's gonna go. P J.

1485
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Walker Yeah, probably, yeah. So it went from like kind

1486
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: of crowded, maybe they'd play a couple of quarterbacks this year.

1487
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: There was something I can't remember as a poll question

1488
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: or something might be done. Something that I did in

1489
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: the morning was you know how many games will Baker start?

1490
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: This was like in once the trade happened, like how

1491
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: many games would Baker start this year? And the number

1492
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, ten or twelve or whatever

1493
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: it was, And I thought, I don't think it could.

1494
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think he would probably start all of them

1495
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: because I thought they'd go to corral at some point.

1496
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 1: Not now. Nope, No, he's He'll get the full run

1497
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,799
Speaker 1: of it. And good for him. Uh down there, um

1498
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,799
Speaker 1: the Broncos releasing nine year veteran Sam Martin the punter. Uh,

1499
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: So that you have that it is just because of

1500
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, everything is not hindsight in this case. There

1501
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: are things that have happened that have changed it. But

1502
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: you wonder what his value to the Panthers would have

1503
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: been today had the Browns not true. You needed to

1504
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: trade him. You had to do it, so it was

1505
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: You're not nobody second guessing it. I want anybody think that.

1506
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying at all. You had to get

1507
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 1: and it was a wonderful thing that you were able

1508
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: to do it when you were. And good for him

1509
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: too because it gave him a chance to come in

1510
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: there and earn that starting job. Now you have to

1511
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: play him and hopefully Browns take care of business. But

1512
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,640
Speaker 1: you wonder what it would be now or would they

1513
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: have gone for Garoppolo Now, I mean if they had

1514
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: lost Donald and Corral, they're in a pretty well the

1515
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,719
Speaker 1: forty Niners played that game. They're playing it until tomorrow.

1516
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: They until tomorrow to release or trade Jimmy g otherwise

1517
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: the contract becomes guaranteed. So did you read that story

1518
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: about like Lance talking about Garoppolo the way that it's going.

1519
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Like Peter King had it in Football Morning in America.

1520
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: He's talking about how Garoppolo like practice on his own

1521
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: field all the way away from everybody else when they're

1522
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: in meetings, he's working out and when they're and then

1523
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: vice versa, so he's never in the same place. He's

1524
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: not around it at all. They're trying to find a

1525
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: way to deal him. They but worth the eleventh hour

1526
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: now you know, and see at all is going clearly

1527
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: tank because they're going with Geno Smith first time he started.

1528
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: You know, he's the one who broke up Eli Manning

1529
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: start streak. I do, so he's he's getting the start

1530
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: out there. So if you want to build build your C. J.

1531
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Stroud game jerseys for the Seahawks, then that would probably

1532
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: pretty good. Feels like that's a lot to be able

1533
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: to do that. But Garoppolo is hanging on out there.

1534
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna have to be released, which I think

1535
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: he prefers. But I don't know where the suitor there

1536
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 1: is on that. There was a lot of smoke earlier

1537
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 1: about Pittsburgh. But you wonder if if they still feel

1538
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: the same way. Um, yeah, I don't know where he goes.

1539
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: How about the the press conference from Tom Brady over

1540
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: the weekend years old? In my life, there's a lot

1541
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: of blank going on, man, same brother, same yeah. Never

1542
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: never felt more like to I thought that was wild though.

1543
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: It was a wild reason why he had to do that. Well,

1544
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: he's in it, and I mean I just connect dots

1545
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: on this right, He's in it. Everything he does is

1546
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 1: on purpose. You see what the the hoodie war? No,

1547
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I didn't said forever on it. Yeah, So I think

1548
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: that's the that's the deal. He's fighting for some things, man,

1549
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: But he's so candid now with this stuff. Um. This

1550
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 1: is another story as well. Matt Ariza, who's the punter

1551
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: out of San Diego State who had the allegations of

1552
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 1: uh in the civil allegations of of gang rape of

1553
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: a minor. He was released over the weekend by the

1554
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 1: Bills as well. So that's where you stand in terms

1555
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: of that from a cut line standpoint around the league.

1556
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we'll do our best to

1557
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: predict our fifty three man roster. When I say we

Speaker 1: The Land on Demand remodeled by the Bath Authority. Alright

1570
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: fifty three, It is buddy, alright fifty three And these

1571
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: are certainly not scores. This is my best guess. At

1572
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: your best guess is pretty well, listen not as sharpie,

1573
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 1: but I go felt tip papermans tip um. Alright, so

1574
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: here's what I'm looking at um. And again there are

1575
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: probably this could move around a little ways, but like

1576
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: we said, probably forty nine to fifty even of these

1577
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: fifty three are I think pretty setence down. So here's

1578
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: what I've got. This is the zagura. I like it.

1579
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Two quarterbacks Brissette Dobbs, four running backs. And this is

1580
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: based on the information we have, not like they're if

1581
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 1: their trades or whatever. You can't, I mean, you can't

1582
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: do anything. Nick Chubb, Cream Hunt, Derrins, Johnson thirty, Jerome Ford,

1583
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: six wide receivers Yep, Marty Cooper, Donovan Peoples, Jones, Anthony Schwartz,

1584
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: David Bell, Dimitric Felton, and Mike Woods. Mike Woods. So

1585
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 1: that's that's a spot that you could circle is either

1586
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 1: moving somewhere else. That's that to me, that's one of

1587
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: the spots. That's here's what I'm gonna do. So Woods

1588
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: would of that would be the only one that would

1589
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: be question, question everything else. Three tight ends David and Joke.

1590
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: This is a armbells here now Harrison Bryant and then

1591
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: either Forest Dollar, Johnny stand I'll go forrest All for now,

1592
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: but it's Forestall Stanton and they I think they like

1593
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: the key graps, but that's that's a definite parenthesis. They

1594
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 1: could go with two tight ends or three. I don't

1595
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: think you'll get four on this roster. Nine offensive lineman okay,

1596
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: Jedrick Will's, Joelbtonio, Ethan Postic, Wyatt, Teller, Jack Conklin, backups,

1597
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: Chris Hubbard, James Hudson, Michael Dunn and yelled the fro hold,

1598
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: yelled the fro hold, yelled the fro hold. So that's

1599
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: put yelleda in a he goes in parentheses, So that

1600
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: could end up being Blake Hants Drew Forbes. But I

1601
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: think the other eight are pretty set all right, all right,

1602
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: So that's twenty four of my math's right, they got

1603
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: eighteen and six twenty four on offense. Okay, defense, I've

1604
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 1: got five defensive ends. I've got Myles Garrett, Jadevian Clowney,

1605
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: Alex Wright, Chase Winovich. And then in a parentheses, this

1606
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: is one that I think is very much up for grabs.

1607
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's I think if it's for today,

1608
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: it's Isaac Rochelle if it's for the future, it's Isaiah Thomas,

1609
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 1: but I do think it'll be five defense events Thomas

1610
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: Rochelle all right, and right now I would probably say Rochelle,

1611
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: but I hope I love Isaiah Thomas and they do too.

1612
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: For defensive tackles, Jorge Elliott Taven, Bryan, Tommy Togy, I,

1613
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: Perry and Winfrey. Now that's one that could if there's

1614
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: upcut somewhere that they were intrigued by, that's one that

1615
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: maybe could change. I have six linebackers, Okay j Okay,

1616
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: Anthony Walker, Jacob Phillips, the only Taki Taki, Tony Fields,

1617
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: and Jordan Kunashak, and I'm not even sure I have

1618
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: to parentheses him, but we'll parentheses him for now. Could

1619
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: be Dakota Allen, but I think I think kash And

1620
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: now that could also be five linebackers. So that's how

1621
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: should do we need to parenthesize the six linebacker? Do

1622
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: you think a six linebackers on there? We just don't

1623
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:06,680
Speaker 1: know who. I think I think we need to just

1624
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: keep it there because that's one that could be moved around.

1625
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:12,440
Speaker 1: But I think Kunashak would be the guy. Okay. Six corners,

1626
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward Greg Newsome, Greedy Williams, M J Emerson, A. J. Green.

1627
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: Those are all locks, and then the six would be

1628
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: the parentheses would be Herb Miller. I think Sean Jolly

1629
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: made a real strong case, but I do think her

1630
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: Miller is a premier gunner. Ah and I think that

1631
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,560
Speaker 1: that will be what keeps him on the roster. But

1632
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me see Sean Jolly here in our program.

1633
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: And then five safeties and I don't think, I don't

1634
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 1: think we need a parenthesis. John Johnson, Ronnie Harrison, Grant Delpit,

1635
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: Richly Count and d Anthony Bell get you to fifty

1636
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 1: and then Charlie Hewlett, Kate York, Corey the Hoork is

1637
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,679
Speaker 1: so in fact, the only ones that we even put

1638
01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: either or was Forestalls, Stanton mus For a, Shell, Miller, Jolly,

1639
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: and I think you could say on some level, fro

1640
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: Holt hands, you know, I think that there's there's room

1641
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,839
Speaker 1: in there if they wanted to go with eight linemen,

1642
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: they could, if they wanted to go with you know, nine,

1643
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: they can't. There's things that can move around. But that's

1644
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at as of right now. Offense defense,

1645
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 1: and you feel pretty I feel pretty good about that.

1646
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: But that just goes back to the point of there

1647
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 1: are it's it's a handful of spots. I mean, that's

1648
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 1: I just want to know what. I gotta see that

1649
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver that stay tomorrow at four o'clock, because that

1650
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,520
Speaker 1: would have looks like next Friday when you're flying to Carolina.

1651
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that's hard about it to me is

1652
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: if the Browns do work something out, my guess my

1653
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: hunch would be but they'd probably end up going with

1654
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: if it was a running back, say that was moved,

1655
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: they probably keep those three tailbacks and go seven receivers.

1656
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that they are willing to let go

1657
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: of any of those six per se for somebody else

1658
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: at this point, especially if it's an outside guy, because

1659
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: they like Mike Woods and they're not like people who

1660
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: think that the shortz heer is coming to a close,

1661
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: like now, are that's not happening. Nope, Nope, that is not.

1662
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: So that's where it is there. So you have some

1663
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: movement around, you could still go, you know, two tight ends,

1664
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: ten offensive linemen, two tight ends, seven receivers if you wanted,

1665
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 1: if they if the move is made that way. But

1666
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: I feel I feel really good about the defensive side.

1667
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 1: My really only question on the defensive side right now

1668
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 1: is that Isaac Rochell or Isiah Thomas exfrat job at

1669

01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: You surprised Brady was number one in terms of NFL

1677
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: number one player in the NFL. NFL on the top one. Surprisingly,

1678
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: he wasn't even the best quarterback in the league last year.

1679
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: That he's Brady and maybe maybe he went, he went,

1680
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: maybe he was actually number two and Donald's one, and

1681
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 1: they're like, we can't have that, we can't have that

1682
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: be number one. So they flipped it in the last second.

1683
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 1: So Wray, dude, it's all the roles exactly the same.

1684
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 1: They'd run the exact run, the exact same piece, all

1685
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: you do is just graphically change. It be very easy

1686
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: to change. So maybe that one thing I wanted people

1687
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: to think that real quickly. So this is last year

1688
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: when people are thinking about and this is a good roster.

1689
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: So could there be some waiver claims? Could the Browns

1690
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: make some moves I'd say defensive tackle, wide receiver, those

1691
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: would be the tight end, those would be the positions

1692
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 1: will look at. But a year ago in the entire league,

1693
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,839
Speaker 1: there were twenty seven total waiver claims awarded to nineteen

1694
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:13,759
Speaker 1: teams after the initial cut down to fifty three across

1695
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: the league. The Giants had the most claims last year

1696
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 1: with three. So this is not it's not the big

1697
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: thing that people, I think maybe make it out to be.

1698
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: I think that's sometimes the way that it used to be,

1699
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: and people forget, like, you know, let's claim all the

1700
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 1: Steelers receivers. You remember that. We're just that's just not

1701
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:32,720
Speaker 1: the way it's done anymore. All right, good job out

1702
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: of you. Fifty three was a thing of inspiration, my friend.
