Yeah, 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: I'm excited. I think we're in a good place. The 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: team seems to energize and ready to roll. But personally, 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: I'm excited. I feel really good physically right now. You know, 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: We'll see how it feels a couple of weeks, but 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: right now I feel good and read ready to go. 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 4: Joe, You've been through so many different camps. Which do 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 4: you think the personality of this cham and just manancity 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 4: could get from previousology. 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about intensity, we talked about energy, We've 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: talked about we gotta start fast and we gotta you know, 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: keep building up. We have a couple of joint practices. 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: Those always bring up to intensity. So I think I 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: think we're you know, we're gonna have a high intensity 25 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 3: you know, physical training camp. 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 5: Is there a one camp that sticks out that would 27 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 5: have more high intensity and more physical than any. 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 6: Of you can remember? 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 7: I think early in my career, I didn't. You don't 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 7: know what you don't know. 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: So like my first and second year with Pedtin, there 32 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: was a lot more allowed, like you could do half 33 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: line still, you could do like inside run tackling drills 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: and stuff, and so those always felt a little bit 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: more physical. Then we've kind of progressed to just I 36 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: think that's more of an NFL wide thing though. 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 8: Since veterans don't play a lot in free season games, 38 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 8: how much to do those two joint practice that's helped 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 8: in terms of getting ready. 40 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a positive to them. 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: I think if you have a good team that you're 42 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: going against and you you get controlled red you know, 43 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: in a cold should environment, sometimes they get a little 44 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: out of place, especially if it goes more than a 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: day or two, because you know, one team wins the 46 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: first day and the next team comes back angry because 47 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: they got yelled at the night before. If you have 48 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: good practices, it can be very helpful. 49 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 9: Joe, can you guys just right off last year as. 50 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 6: Nothing been right? 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 7: It's part of that. 52 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 3: But I don't think I think we have to take 53 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: some accountability. Like we were out there playing games. I 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: know we weren't in a perfect position all the time, 55 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: but at some point, you know, as a player, I 56 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: think everybody looked in the mirror and was like, what 57 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 3: can I do to be better? Not just oh, last year, 58 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: we you know, we didn't like the play calls. We 59 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: didn't like this. It was you know, you have to 60 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: you know, take a step and try and improve yourself 61 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: a little bitterly. 62 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 10: To every season, believing that you guys have a legitimate 63 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 10: chance to you know, to make the playoffs and get 64 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 10: yourself just you know, really pumped and hyped out for 65 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 10: that type of mind crowd. 66 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 7: Yeah. 67 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 3: I mean I'm personally forever optimistic. That's just how I've 68 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: been my whole life. But I think, honestly, truly, every 69 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: NFL team goes into training camp, you know, knowing they 70 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: have a chance. Like we have a majority of our 71 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: team back from two years ago. We went you know, 72 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 3: eleven and six and made the playoffs and made a run. 73 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 3: We do know we have to play better and we 74 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: have to improve and do some things right. But I 75 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: think the mentality of the team and the work we're 76 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: going to try and do gives us that optimism. Why 77 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: do they think expectations are so low the team nash 78 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 3: As we played very bad last year. We were, you know, disappointing. 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: I think everybody was disappointed. You know, I went on 80 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 3: sixteen one to fifteen three and thirteen. I feel like 81 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: that was probably my most disappointed year just with what 82 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: we had done the year before and the players we had, 83 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: so it was very frustrating. So I understand why the 84 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: outside world wants to write us off because it makes 85 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: sense on you know, from what you were looking at 86 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: the year before. 87 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: That a good place for the team to be. 88 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine, We're gonna try and not look at 89 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: the noise, you know. I think we're going to try 90 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: and work, and I think guys have chips on their 91 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: shoulder and everybody's motivated differently, but I think there's a uh, 92 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: you know, positive and motivation for our guys. 93 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: This quarterback. 94 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 7: And what was the question. 95 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: Who orges as you're study. 96 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big thing. I mean, the starting quarterback 97 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: NML is probably the most important position. So I know 98 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: they're gonna have a good battle. I know the guys 99 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: are ready to work and it's gonna be a good competition. So, uh, 100 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: you know, I'll look forward to whenever it's announced for. 101 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: Guys talking about what has gone on or what's going on. 102 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's been some there's been some talks for sure. 103 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 7: I mean, is. 104 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: It something that you feel bodify, that you feel like 105 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: you resolved. 106 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 7: Yeah. 107 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: I mean we're definitely in a vulnerable position right now 108 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: as NFL p A, and it feels like there's some 109 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: you know, internal breakage inside the nfl PA that is 110 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 3: causing some rift. So it's something we definitely need to 111 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: get figured out and and try and put a stop 112 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: to it and you know, catch our breast and get. 113 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 7: Back to it. 114 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: If you've been as with this team. 115 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm the second alternate. Shelby Harris is the 116 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: main alternate, so he's our voting rep. But I've been 117 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: on some calls. 118 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 7: Obviously. 119 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: I'm pretty close friends with J. C. Tretder, so I 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 3: have some you know, just some discussions with him in 121 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 3: the in the whole situation, and there's probably some things 122 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: I can't say or won't say, but you know, it's 123 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: it's the players are trying to, you know, figure out 124 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 3: a way to get us in the right position. And obviously, 125 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: you know, with the whole Boyd situation and what kind 126 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: of went down, it uh puts a you know, a 127 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: bad light on on the whole nfl PA. But I 128 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: think the players that are on the executive committee that 129 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: are voting reps are trying to do the right thing 130 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: now and find you know, a good interim candidate. 131 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: Joe, does this quarterback competition feel different? I mean, you've 132 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: been too plenty of plenty of them. Does this feel different? 133 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: Because of the dynamics? There's four guys, two of more 134 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: veterans tuber rookies. Did you approach at day one? 135 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's four quarterbacks that you know, everybody's trying 136 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: to compete and play, and it's it's a big number 137 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: of guys with limited reps, you know what I mean, 138 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see how they do it. Luckily, 139 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: you have a guy like Joe that has some experience 140 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: and has some playing time, and Kenny's played a lot. 141 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: I think it's just gonna be whoever's you know, most 142 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 3: comfortable in the system and can make thrills. I think 143 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: all of them are talented, you know, and all of 144 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 3: them have that ability to be a starting quarterback in 145 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: this league, maybe not today but in the future. 146 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 7: So it'll be a good competition. 147 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: After atas and in mini camp. 148 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: How do you feel about the day and Joe to 149 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: play about the count, I think he's a lot more 150 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 3: comfortable than he was when he was asked to play 151 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: last year. I think you see, he's a guy you 152 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: see Flash with all the time.

They mandate 747 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 8: when the pads can go on, so you have to 748 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 8: abide by that.

We got four days before and off day, 778 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 6: so I'll take a look at how we do it 779 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 6: this week and then we'll huddle up. 780 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 8: I think our off days on Sunday this week, we'll 781 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 8: huddle up on Sunday and decide how we want to 782 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 8: handle next week. 783 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 4: Kevins, we hit two joint practices. 784 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 6: How much of account of that the kids that with 785 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 6: a four way QB competition. 786 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's certainly. Uh, the benefit is in 787 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 8: that you're going against a defense that's not your own. 788 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 8: Both sides, our offense, our defense really get to know 789 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 8: the other side of the ball for the Cleveland Browns 790 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 8: really well. So to be exposed to a different look, certainly, 791 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 8: to be exposed to different players, I think you can 792 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 8: gain some valuable valuable information when you're talking about evaluating players. 793 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 4: We're chun you just. 794 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 9: Would be the field of the way you did two 795 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 9: on one, two on another, and how did you like 796 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 9: how they'll worked during. 797 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 6: Okas and media. 798 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 8: We'll do that for a few periods this week.

So I have 974 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 8: a bunch of young guys that I am expecting that 975 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 8: that they do do have that quote unquote leap because 976 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 8: of the work that they're putting in. 977 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 4: Even this time. 978 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,919 Speaker 15: There's probably something that Pager's going to have to answer 979 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 15: for us. 980 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 10: But last year when Mike Half had an incident, he. 981 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 11: Was right back here, right now, way on the football field. 982 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 8: I'm just curious, why is when shown that I would 983 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 8: let Andrew.

But uh, that's something I'm sure Andrew kind 989 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,359 Speaker 8: of traps. 990 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 6: Yeah. 991 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 4: Are there any players who radically zoomed up in the 992 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,959 Speaker 4: in the teams with big. 993 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 8: Yeah? 994 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 6: I would tell you. 995 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 8: The fun part for me being around this football team 996 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 8: in the spring and then seeing how they operate. Uh, 997 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 8: just coming back in really good shape. Uh, this is 998 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 8: a group that wants they get to work. They're they're 999 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 8: not so concerned with things outside of their control. They're 1000 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 8: they're gonna push each other.
