1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: How do look at the roster and what we have

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: in the coaching staff. We should win games. We have

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: to performed though. We're gonna hold our to the high

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: standard no matter what happens. And on defense is gonna

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: do what they do and the last time I heard

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: they can't win a telescope points. This is the Cleveland

7

Speaker 1: Show all along the University Hospitals Cleveland Browns Radio Network. Gerard,

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: good evening, friend, Kenneth, you're sounding good. I'm sounding good.

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: It's time to go with four downs. First down. Everybody's

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: getting over the crud. My friend, My goodness, Grace, she's

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: gotta watch yourself out there. My goodness. First down, though

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: problems were watching themselves. They got themselves a nice win

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: for the first time in the Browns have won back

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: to back games as they knock off the Texas. Wasn't

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: the prettiest game, but a win's a win. What do

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: you take away from that win? On Sunday against Houston,

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk about DeShawn Watson in second down, So everybody

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: but DeShawn go. Win is a win, and no, it

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: was not pretty, but at the same time, what you

29
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: want to take from that win is that you saw

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: example of what happens when you have two phases out

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: of three, dominating two phases, contributing two phases, taking advantage

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: of turnovers and mistakes made by a poor team in

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: the Texas. So what you take from it is that

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: the defense is capable of creating turnovers and that the

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: special teams is creating well capable rather of creating explosive plays.

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Because DPJ he certainly deserved that award, and it was

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: building up to a ken of him finally breaking up

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: punt ear because the previous weeks he looked really well

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: as well doing it, but never to the magnitude of

40
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: what he did on Sunday. But again, you only can

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: play who's on your roster or your schedule rather and

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: they did just that. So I was again not saying

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: it was a pretty game, but you got the job done.

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the Browns director of football Communications,

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Dan Murphy, who he's still a young man, but he's

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: been with the organization longer than anybody, it seems, He'll

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: tell you historically, the Browns go down to Houston and

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: it just does not go their way. They run into

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: It's something about I don't know, if they wake up

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the bed. They run into

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: a buzz saw any time they go to Houston. I

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: think this has gotta be I mean, we, you and

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I have been broadcasting Brown's programming for ten years together.

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: This has to be their first win in Houston. This

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: has to be their first win in Houston. And since

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I've been on the air in Cleveland for eleven years,

57
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: I think this has to be their first win in

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: Houston that I can remember. I don't know if they've

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: ever one in Houston while I've been on the air.

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: My goodness. I mean it is usually just pulling teeth

61
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: to try to get a win at the Houston Texas.

62
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: The last time, no, they haven't done it. Two thousand

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: note the last time they did it. I beg your pardon,

64
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: I tell a lie two thousand five January. Second, the

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Browns one at Houston. Other than that, I mean, goodness, gracious,

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: I was a freshman in college back then, Gerard. I

67
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: mean that that was at the end of my freshman

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: my first semester of college. Girard, that's the last time

69
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the Browns won down in Houston. So it's good to

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: get that off your back, certainly. And I understand why.

71
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: If you look at the banners that were in the

72
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: raptors at the stadium. They were a good team from

73
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: twenty basically throughout the presidents and shop had a good

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: run and J. J. Watt Andrew Johnson would he represented

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: so nah Arian Foster. So they had some ballers. So

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I'll take what I can get down in Houston. I

77
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you, Texas to say it down. Second,

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson twelve or thirty one yards interception and seven

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: or twenty one with rushing. He rushed it seven times,

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: got twenty one yards, got sacked a couple of times.

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: It takes it away from there. It's been seven hundred

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: days since he last played. Looking for a little in

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: the words of Guns and Rows, there is a little

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: bit of patients out there from everybody. What did you think, Well,

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: you saw signs of what makes him special, but you

86
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: also saw signs of rusts like no other seven hundred days.

87
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: That's gonna show its effects. And also when you couple

88
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: that with the fact that this is like week twelve

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: and his is week one for him, he's had a

90
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: great disadvantage to speed of the game and being used

91
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: to playing the game is in the favor of everyone

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: on the football field except for Deshaun Watson. So he

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: was the least prepared from a physical and mental standpoint,

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: though he was preparing than anyone on the football field.

95
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: And he's playing the most important position on the football field.

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: So that explains a lot of the performance. And Nathan

97
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: says something that was very resolute earlier today in Cleveland

98
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: Brown's Daily, and he's absolutely right. John Watson struggled on

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: his first game of the season. This is historic for him,

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: so we should not be that surprised. Um I I

101
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: thought it might be a bit of a struggle. I

102
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: didn't the losing it in their dirt that type of thing.

103
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: I think that that can be corrected, um I thought

104
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: honestly going into the game, I know you and I

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: kind of debated what they should do. Should he go

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: for should he go big fly and throw for three

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: hundred three and or fifty yards? Or should they turn

108
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: the ball off, turn about round and hand the ball off.

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a conservative when it comes to

110
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: the offense. I like to turn around and hand the

111
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: ball off with a guy like Nick Jubb and Kareem

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: Hunt back there, so I would wouldn't have had a

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: problem with that. They did run the ball considerably on

114
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Sunday against against Houston, and I mean the defense. Gotta

115
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: give credit to the defense. They showed up. They played well,

116
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: created turnovers and special teams. Donovan people's showings. He had

117
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: the great punt return for a touchdown, so they were

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: able to help him out there. But I was surprised

119
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: at I thought it was gonna be less rusty. But

120
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: when I thought about and I go, okay, this is

121
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: about what we kind of looked at. I mean, seven

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: hundred days. It's a long time, so you gotta get

123
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: that first one under your belt and then get going

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati this coming Sunday. We'll preview the Bengals coming

125
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: up here. In just a moment, we get the third

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: down down injury bug hitting the Browns big time this week.

127
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: They lose ony Taki Talkie for the season a torn

128
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: a c L. That's a big loss for the defense.

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: The linebacker room has been just decimated by injuries. Girard

130
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: next man up. The Browns signed Renji Raglan their active roster.

131
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: He's from the Las Vegas practice squad six two to

132
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: fifty two. He's in his seventh year already. I remember

133
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: when he was drafted second round from the Buffalo Bills

134
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: back in two What does this guy gotta do to

135
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: get caught up to speed here and be able to

136
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: contribute for this Brown's defense against what is going to

137
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: be a very potent rush from the Cincinnati Bengals. I

138
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: should say passing offense, but I just look at us

139
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: a full on title wave of offense. Well, they definitely

140
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: have an office unit that's capable running a football when

141
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: they're committed to it, and certainly we know the passing

142
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: of the football is their calling card and what they

143
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: do best. And Joe Burrow, heck, he'll even sneak in

144
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: there and running football on you as well because he's

145
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: sneaky fast. So their complete offensive unit. They have everything

146
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: you possibly want from that standpoint. So for ragling is

147
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: really simple. Learn the burbage, learn the terminology in practice

148
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: this week, show that you know where the heck you're

149
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be. And if you do that and you

150
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: don't show any signs of mistakes, you can find yourself

151
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: on the football field. But I do take note the

152
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: fact that he's not your typical linebacker that we employ.

153
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: He is six to two d and two pounds. And

154
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: what that says to me, Ken, isn't admittance that we

155
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: need larger, bigger guys in the middle. And you're right,

156
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the linebacker in particular middle linebacker position has taken it

157
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: has been beat down. These are the guys that are

158
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: getting hurt. So that speaks for itself. So yes, right

159
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: there in the middle, you want to a run stopper,

160
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: and he certainly fits that bill. Earlier today of the

161
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: team plays Anthony Schwartz on injured reserve with a concussion.

162
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 1: They picked up Jalen Darden off waivers from the Tampa

163
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. We him just a week and a half

164
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: ago when Tampa Bay was in town of the Browns

165
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna win over the Buccaneers originally select a fourth round

166
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: oh for Tampa Bay back in twenty one games. You're

167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: looking for some returning from him. You know, Donovan People's

168
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Jones did a great job on Sunday. Obviously it's the

169
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: first kick return or upon returned for a touch and

170
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: I think we've had since what Travis Benjamin. I want

171
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: to stay back in if my memory doesn't escape me here,

172
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: but they want to make sure Donavan People's Jones is

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: good to go when it comes to being the number

174
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: two wide receiver behind the Marii Cooper. Could we see

175
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Darden coming up this weekend, Well, you certainly can.

176
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: But I also believe that DPJ can continue to do

177
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: it because Taik Hill Lord knows he doesn't and doesn't

178
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: as a high level, and he's one of the most

179
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: productive receivers in the game. So it's possible to both.

180
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: So it's not like you have to eliminate one in

181
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: or the half. Success with the other for donmind people's jones,

182
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: and we're always looking for someone. You want to have

183
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: that guy because we've seen how important it is to

184
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: have a returner, have that covered, because we've languaged in

185
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: that in that part of the game because of the

186
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: fact we've never found someone else truly committed to it.

187
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: So now we're starting to have progress with love. We're

188
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: starting with forward rather, we're starting to have progress with DPJ.

189
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, I get why you bring

190
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: a guy in because you always want to take a

191
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: look at someone who might have some potential time for

192
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: fourth down. Fourth we go to Cincinnati. The Bengals are

193
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: eight and four on the season. They haven't lost since

194
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: the Browns game on Monday night on Halloween. They're actually

195
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: the only team to beat the Bengals in their past

196
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: eight games. This offense has been fantastic. They welcomed in

197
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City last week, took care of business against Kansas City,

198
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and I'm back and forth matchup Joe Burrow three and

199
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: oh against the Kansas City Chiefs in his career, but

200
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: oh and four against the against the Cleveland Browns. Girand

201
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you first and foremost, what's the biggest

202
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: challenge going through the division the second time around. Actually, Ken,

203
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: the funny part about it is is actually easier because

204
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: you know the opponent, they know you. It's really comes

205
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: it really comes down to who's gonna be there more aggressive,

206
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: who's gonna make few mistakes, and who's gonna go out

207
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: there and the process of all doing all that executing

208
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: because you know the opponent is actually easiest week of studying.

209
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: You look back on what you did wrong, you look

210
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: back on what you did right, and what they're trying

211
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: doing what they have been doing. But I will say

212
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: this about Cincinnati what I anticipate them doing, just as

213
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: a little key for you, They're gonna try and do

214
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things where they've forced to hand with

215
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: us and to hurry up and tempo standpoint, because we

216
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: have shown signs that we have problems with adjusted when

217
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: teams go up tempo from a substitution standpoint, and they've

218
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: been pretty good running it. So yeah, the Browns are

219
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: definitely gonna have their hands full coming up on Sunday

220
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,400

Speaker 1: really enjoying my time here. And Chase not football related questions,

274
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: but I have to ask, man, what made you decide

275
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: to cut off the golden locks? So as most people know,

276
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: I've used to that followed me at any point in

277
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: my career. It's like, you know, I had my hair

278
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: for about seven eight years and Uh, I was up

279
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: in in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. And it was just like

280
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: a normal Tuesday night, you know, plan on waking up

281
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: for for workouts the next day or whatever. And uh,

282
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: I went to bed and I had a dream that

283
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: it was time for me to cut my hair. And

284
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: I was like just like so vivid. It was like,

285
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of my my journey, you know,

286
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: almost like uh, you know, I'm back to the place

287
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: that I had embarked on this this uh this question

288
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: source from and uh, just when cut it? Yeah, how long?

289
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: How long did you have long hair? Like I said,

290
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: seven eight years? I think, Oh my goodness, gracious. What

291
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: did your family say, Chase whenever I cut it? Yeah, well,

292
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: I called my mom. That's the many person I told.

293
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: I was just like, hey, you know, I had this

294
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: dream last night I'm going to cut my hair. And

295
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: She's like, okay, cool, I can't wait, send me a picture.

296
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, people were pretty shocked that when I went

297
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: into the facilities. Uh, it was like, like I said,

298
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly the day I cut it, Maybe

299
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: it was like a Friday. I went to the facilities

300
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: on Monday to like show them that I've been working out,

301
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm strong and ready to run, like, um,

00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: maybe wants to see my new haircut or something. And

310
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: he called me in and he just said, you know, hey,

311
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: you know we're trading you to the Browns, and uh,

312
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: I was a little taken. Aback. I just asked him.

313
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: I was like, you know because because the haircut. Uh,

314
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, what the heck? I

315
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: guess he wasn't a fan. Did he think you sent

316
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: somebody else in for you or was it was it?

317
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Did he know it was you? Even with the short

318
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: air Yeah, I think he had to do a double

319
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: tape for sure. Chase one if it's joining us here

320
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: on the show. So the injuries have been frustrating obviously.

321
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Can can you describe, you know, just what you've been

322
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: going through here because I know you've been wanting to

323
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: get on the field. You finally did get on the

324
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: field here, but what have you been having to go through,

325
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: just you know, with the injuries and having to make

326
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: sure that you're ready to go and go for this

327
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: bronze defense because they definitely missed you. I'll tell you what,

328
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Adversity is going to strike at at some point along

329
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: the journey. It doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter

330
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: what you do, if you you put your mind to something,

331
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: and you know, playing me NFL is obviously not easy. Um,

332
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: adversity is gonna strike. And unfortunately it's it's struck. You know.

333
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: It's like running is super important and and when you

334
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: you bust a wheel, it's like, you know you can

335
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: the only thing you can do is work as hard

336
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: as you can every day to uh to try to

337
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, bring it back to full health. And um,

338
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: it's been been a crazy process just learning about my

339
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: body and learning about you know, like focusing on things

340
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: that maybe aren't necessarily so physical, but you know, on

341
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: on the mental side of the football game. UM, so

342
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: it's I've definitely I feel that I've made a lot

343
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: of progress, um, just just in in several of those

344
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: planes as I spoke about um. However, it is really frustrating.

345
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: That's just the the you know, the truth of the matter.

346
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: But I'm not to be deterred. You know. It's gonna

347
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: take some resilience, it's gonna take some perseverance, and I'm

348
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: just gonna keep attacking it. It's like, at the end

349
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: of the day, it's like you if you zoom out

350
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: a little bit um and think big picture, It's like,

351
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna hopefully inspire some people to you know,

352
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: to keep carrying on and you know, showing that they can,

353
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: they can to fight through um, you know, adversity and

354
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: and injuries and and just come back and hopefully be

355
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: better than ever. And what if you plan for the pages.

356
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: You're very familiar with the concept of complimentary football because

357
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: Bill preaches it, teaches it every chance he gets. And

358
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: with that being said, Chase, you played a pivotal role

359
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: in that touchdown in acception return that fields get. Take

360
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: us through that play and what were you thinking as

361
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: it transpired from the point of view blocking and batting

362
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. Yeah, I've seen on film

363
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: that they there are certain tendencies in terms of like

364
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: the boot, especially to the defenses left the quarterbacks right.

365
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: Uh So I figured that was definitely gonna be a play.

366
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: And whenever I felt the tight end release and I

367
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: felt the running back to me, I was just like one,

368
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: It's like it's a little suspicious, you know, it's like

369
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: a doubt they're gonna have a run him back trying

370
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: to block me. And uh, once I you know, I

371
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: kind of flew by him, I was like, Okay, this

372
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: guy is about to get you know, basically blind blindsided

373
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: talking about the quarterback, uh or you know, there's something

374
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: going on behind me. And at that point in time,

375
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: it's like the running back was sure enough, he was

376
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: right there and and I could see him. I'm trying

377
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: to match his eye, so like my my my focus

378
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: and my gaze is on him and just just seeing

379
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: what he's seeing. And so that at that point in time,

380
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm matching my hand to where he's trying to throw

381
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: the ball. And if you like, if you look at

382
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: the end zone copy, you could see like my hand

383
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: like kind of like doing that like a sort of mimic,

384
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: uh mimicry of what he's trying to do. Ensure enough

385
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: he he threw it and I got my hand on it,

386
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: popped it up in the air. I was looking on

387
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: the fields made a great place. Now I get out

388
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: of the air and scored the Tuddy. I gotta love it, Chase,

389
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: what if it's us here on the show? Fantastic stuff?

390
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you. Kevin Stefanski seems very even keel

391
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: with us. Um. What's it like to play for a

392
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: guy who who seems to have kind of well, I

393
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: don't know, Belichick has an aura around him. Uh. Jim

394
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: Harbaugh seems like a madman. What's it like to play

395
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: for someone who's a little bit more even keel as

396
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: opposed to the other two. The first thing I'll say

397
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: is that when you compare two things, you always have

398
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: less something's getting uh, something's getting demoted or denigraded or

399
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. When you compare two things,

400
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: you always have less um and so I can't really

401
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: like compare them because they're just different coaches, different philosophies,

402
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: et cetera. However, it's awesome playing for for coach Savanski.

403
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: He is um. You know. I think adversity definitely introduces

404
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: you to who you are, you know, it kind of

405
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: it kind of flashes things out and just experiencing, you

406
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: know a little like the tumultuous bump we had just

407
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: losing games, you know, several games as we did. Um,

408
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: he didn't panic, you know, he didn't. He wasn't he

409
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: wasn't sweating like at least at least to us, it

410
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: didn't come across that way. Um. He stayed poised, and

411
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: UM he just like, let's go want to know you know,

412
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: that was that was a big message he had addressed

413
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: to us, and um, just bringing things back to the president.

414
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: He seems like he, uh, you know, it really does

415
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: a great job with all that stuff, and it's it's

416
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: a real pleasure playing for him and Chase. One of

417
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: the things that we talked a lot about, especially when

418
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: the defense was having his issues and struggles, was this

419
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: idea of gap integrity and run fits and what that represents.

420
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: It appears to me the past two weeks the defense

421
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: is kind of felt things out, kind of like in

422
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: a boxing match. In the first round, two guys are

423
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: throwing jabs, but then we figured out were playing much

424
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: better brand of run defense. What has been the reason

425
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: behind that and what's taking place with you guys on

426
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the front. Yeah, I think that there's there's always things

427
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: that need to be worked through. This is the National

428
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: Football League. So if a team does something well, it's

429
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: like other teams are gonna look at those plays and

430
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: how they set up those plays personnel wise and try

431
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: to mimic them. And if you know, if teams have success,

432
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: it's like, we got a great coaching staff too, and

433
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna adapt. And the coaching staff has done a

434
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: great job putting players and in the right fits, being

435
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: creative with how they use their players, and uh yeah,

436
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: so I think we're just doing a great job all

437
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: around these past couple of weeks, especially Chase, We thank

438
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,760

Speaker 1: Von Miller is after surgery he found he had a

465
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: torn a c L Where would you rank them in

466
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: your power rankings? Now after his loss, talking about the Bills,

467
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: where would you put them? They one of the top

468
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: two teams in the a f C, top two teams

469
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: in a f C. With that injury, you're gonna probably

470
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: have to elevate Kansas City ahead of them and say

471
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals right now at number one? So I would say, no,

472
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: they're number three. Man. Okay, wait a minute, who'd you

473
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: put ahead of them? Who was the number two? One

474
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: and two? Chiefs? Bengals chieftain bank Boy, Well, the Bengals

475
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: are red hot. I'm gonna hold off in Bengals just

476
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: a bit. I know they're red hot. Let me hold

477
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: off for just a minute. We'll find out here soon.

478
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: We'll find out here. Suit coming up? Uh? Should the

479
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: league look into the Cowboys? Well? This is interesting here?

480
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Should the league look into the Cowboys? After news leaked

481
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: about oh b J's visit and physical and concerns that

482
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: the team has that his knee is not progressed enough

483
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: to ensure he would play before mid January? Well, I mean,

484
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: with that information leaking, and I'm not surprised by that,

485
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: it hurts O'Dell's financial few, no doubt about it. But

486
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at the difference with that leak and

487
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: other teams to share this information anyway. It's not like

488
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: they don't call each other up and say what you

489
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: get in report. It's no different than the combine and

490
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: share information. So is that a hip of violation? And

491
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta remember it should be. But

492
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Ney to know, there's no HR for

493
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 1: the players that play in the National Football League. HM,

494
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: so different. I was having a simple water I I

495
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: because you're thinking about he doesn't like I know, if

496
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: he played for the Cowboys, then there and he was

497
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: on the active roster. There has to be a report.

498
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's information that has to be given, as

499
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: we we found out with Bill Belichick. But he is

500
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: a free agent. So if you said, well he failed

501
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: the physical or something like that, well, but I don't

502
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: know if you can just have that information out there.

503
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, can these guys talk on

504
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: top of that? These guys, hey, man, what happened? It's

505
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: one of your buddies that you coach with another place

506
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: or with the college with playball with even you never know,

507
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: but you just talk. Coaches talk do a lot talking.

508
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: So when you see guys beginning to games, they're talking

509
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: a lot, and they talk when they have their downtime,

510
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: which is not that much. They talk. They share information

511
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: and the hope is that I share some with you

512
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: down a road, you share somep with me. So that's

513
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: it's an exchange of information. So it doesn't doesn't mean

514
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: I gotta tell the whole world now, doesn't mean you could.

515
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: You could share. You've shared plenty of things with me.

516
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: I haven't started blabbering it off to everybody else out there.

517
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: Donna understanding. Yeah, I'm gonna do that in the morning.

518
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: You just don't listen. No, I'm kidding, all right. Well

519
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: the forty divers, well, the forty divers and Brock Purdy

520
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: called off the Seahawks to win the NFC West. Oh gosh, yes,

521
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: they will do nothing but be a game manager. That's

522
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: all he has to do. Kid. He does not have have

523
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: to do anything sensational or exceptional. All he has to

524
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: do is do what he did on Sunday. He does

525
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: just that, take care of the football. They will win

526
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: football games. I'm astonished everyone thinks that you have to

527
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: play like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen or Joe Burrow

528
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: and other play quarterbacks successfully Tom Brady for the first

529
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: four years of the start. What did he do? He

530
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: managed the game, didn't take crazy chances and in clutched times.

531
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: He made plays. But you don't have to be sensational,

532
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: you know, to get the job done. I'm gonna tell

533
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: you right now, I have watched a lot of brock

534
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: Purty football. I mean they said he made forty one starts,

535
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: and I ain't a lot of you drawed. I think

536
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: I saw every single one of them starts when he

537
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: was in college. He's got some talent. He's a good

538
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: first off, he's a good guy. That's a really good guy,

539
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: comes from a good family, good folks. He's a good dude.

540
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: So I root for a guy like brock Purty, I

541
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: really do. The second thing is is, hey, it's a

542
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: good story. He stepped in there and beat the Dolphins.

543
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: But if he's the starter, eventually there's gonna be things

544
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: that they find out on tape that's gonna hamper him. Now,

545
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. This is the interesting thing here.

546
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: What Cash does with his offense is will he continue

547
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: to just have to play point guard? If he played

548
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: for a lot of other teams, i'd say no chance.

549
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: But because he plays in that system, I give him

550
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: a fighting chance to do it. I think it's gonna

551
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: be hard, but I give a fighting chance to do it.

552
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: I say, yeah, you know what, I think they can

553
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: because I do. I respect their system and I respect

554
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: their talent right and this system is about grinding you out,

555
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: beating you down. Not much in the vertical passing game.

556
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: Now when they take their play action pass shots and

557
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: get them, you're done for it. But what they want

558
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: to do is beat you horizontally. They're not trying to

559
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: beat you Berkeley. They want to spread you out and

560
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: then you thin you out and then where you out.

561
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: And that's what they're all about. Yeah, they, I mean

562
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: they You got a guy like George Kittle, if he

563
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: can be healthy, I think that that can make a

564
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: big difference there. And you've got a lot of players.

565
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: I know they took a shot with Brandon Iouk on

566
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: Sunday and ended up, you know, getting caught with it

567
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: because they ended up throwing an interception. Rock pretty interp

568
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: throwing an interception in that game. But I don't have

569
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with taking a shot every

570
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: now and then, he just you know what you are

571
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: and you know what you're not. And Rock Party is

572
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: a very smart quarterback for everything, given he's a very

573
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: smart quarterback. There. Uh. Did the Titans former general manager

574
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: John Robinson's trade of A. J. Brown in the off

575
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: season ultimately lead to his termination this week? Yes? Yes,

576
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: without a show of doubt. I mean the fact that

577
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: he one Brown put on a show. They got scenes

578
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: now raybel being visibly upset with the trade, And come on,

579
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: who fires a guy who has a winning record the

580
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: way he does? And you in the middle of the week,

581
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: you pay attention to this, Yes, and you pay attention

582
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: to this too. Mike Rabel has been taking shots at

583
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: John Robinson in the media for the last three years.

584
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: He's been taking shots at him for the draft, He's

585
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: been taking shots at him for certain signings. He's been

586
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: taking shots at him for others. For for this situation

587
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: with A J. Brown. I mean, Mike Vrabel hasn't just

588
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: come out and said John Robinson isn't good at his job.

589
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: But Mike Rabel said everything but John Robinson and good

590
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: at his job and he doesn't like working with him.

591
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: Power struggle and one and frankly, I mean those guys

592
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: play for Mike Vrabel. Mike Rabel, that's true about that.

593
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: We can all agree that the Texans might be the

594
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: worst team. I don't want to rent know that. Jason

595
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: Lord Almighty, who's the second worst team in the NFL.

596
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: I tried to be nicer about it. Well, hold on, now,

597
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Denver Rams, Bears or Colts. It's Denver. Yes, it's Denver.

598
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: D They can un amass ten points. Ken they got

599
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: ten points on Sunday. Didn't they win the game? They

600
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: didn't win. They didn't know they didn't win. Oh my goodness, gracious,

601
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: they got nine points and they lost the Ravens. Yes,

602
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: I guess it. They can un amass ten points. Why

603
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: that is just terrible defensess ballers. Give him credit man

604
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: their offseason, go oh smart, move their quarterback away, But

605
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: we did not know what the quarterback was bringing to

606
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: the table. From my att to standpoint, you make that

607
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: move and you're even further away. I mean, they're they're

608
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: out there. Such a thing of the word called the dulgrums.

609
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Because if boy goodness factor fiction, TCU should not have

610
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: made the College Football Playoff. Fact Oh, come on, who

611
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: did you want to put in Alabama? You don't want

612
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: to hear. You don't wanna hear what I had to

613
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: say about it. It's disrespectful to you, and I have

614
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: too much respect for you. I can't say it. I

615
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: ain't gonna say it. I ain't gonna say it. You

616
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: would have an excuse, but I'm not gonna say it.

617
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: Who would be who in the matchup Alabama versus TCU.

618
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Alabama's wins or garbage? But ask the question, can I

619
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: think TC would give him a run? About that? About

620
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: that question, Alabama would be favored, Alabama would be favored,

621
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: but I think TC would gi him a run. It

622
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: was a top ten lost to Kansas State. You guys.

623
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: I said that to you on Sunday, and I'll say

624
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: it again. Montgomery Ward didn't just close their doors overnight.

625
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: There were plenty of people who went to Montgomery Ward

626
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: just because it was Montgomery Ward. And that's the same thing.

627
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: It's the same thing to Rod, that's what Alabama football

628
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: is this year. I have to find a yeah, exact,

629
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: thank you, kmart use kmart Uh. People still blue Light specials,

630
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: blue Legs special. There you go, that's your Alabama football. No,

631
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: tc you deserve to be in. I will say, I

632
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: know you pay attention. It would be wrong to use

633
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: that argument against you, because like you do college games

634
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: and you do them well. So I'm not gonna use

635
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: it against you. But I had a different argument for it.

636
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it, are you guys in love

637
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: with the name? I watched the games and again, Alabama

638
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: would beat them top ten loss. I mean Alabama might

639
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: beat them, but Alabama, I said, would be. If I wasn't,

640
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: I was defendive with him, will beat them. They would be.

641
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: They'd be a small favorite. And I think TCU could

642
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: beat them. And because that's the argument, that's the way

643
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. You gotta do live reado. Okay, sorry,

644
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: you can win, you win, Gerad wins. I'm just I'm

645
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: making my argument. That's all technically that t see us in,

646
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: but you get what I'm saying. Anyway, you win. A

669
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: for joining us tonight. Good to be with you guys.

670
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: Kennon Gerard, good to talk to you. You know, Jim,

671
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: you called it on Sunday. He said, it's probably gonna

672
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: be a nice balance it. It looks like it could

673
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: be a pretty conservative game plan offensively for the Browns,

674
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: and they were pretty conservative. What did you make of

675
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: the entire contest? Well, I thought it was, um, you know,

676
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: it was Uh, it was a great team win, Ken

677
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: because uh, you know, they found a different way to win.

678
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean they won defensively, they got turnovers, they scored

679
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: on defense, they want on special teams. Finally, which has

680
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: really been lagging all year, they had a big pop return,

681
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, Kate York hit his field goals. Uh, they

682
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: got a fumble recovery on a pup return by Houston.

683
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: So those two areas which have kind of really had

684
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: tough years. Um, you know, they really cashed in and

685
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: that that really pulled them through a rough day for

686
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: the offense, no doubt about it. Um. The thing that

687
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: I think is, as you go through it, I think

688
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, I I just think we look

689
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: for a great deal of improvement on Sunday at the

690
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: quarterback position for Deshaun Watson. Maybe we were all naive

691
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: to think that he would just step in and really

692
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: be the Deshaun Watson of a couple of years ago

693
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: when he was lighting it up with the Texans. Uh

694
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: to do it against the Texans this time, because realistically

695
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: that was a long, long layoff, and uh, you know,

696
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: we need him and the Brons are gonna need him

697
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: to be better this Sunday, to be competitive against a

698
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: great team that is playing great football right now. And

699
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: Jim talking about Deshaun Watson, there were certain things that

700
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: I saw that made me say, Okay, I see where

701
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: once he gets this rust removed from his game, that

702
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: this makes sense and this is why we made this move.

703
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: Did you see certain players where you said that years self, Okay,

704
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: that's what I'm accustomed to from Deshaun Watson. Yeah, I did.

705
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean I thought that. Um. I thought a couple

706
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: of times he was his own worst enemies. I don't

707
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: think it was the Texans. I think it was himself.

708
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: And he might have been inside his own head on

709
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: this thing, but I thought at times, you know, Gerard,

710
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: he was indecisive as to what he wanted to do.

711
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: Do I want to run here he gets to the edge,

712
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: or do I want to show like I'm gonna run

713
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna hit the receiver And it didn't seem

714
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: like the receiver knew what he was gonna do. And

715
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: I think that too many times he was kind of

716
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: caught in between gears. But there were other times where

717
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: you would see a flash of him where he is

718
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: lethal on the bootleg when he gets out on that

719
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: edge and he becomes a nightmare. I think for a

720
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: defense that's saying to itself, is he going to run

721
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: or is he gonna let it fly and throw the football? Um.

722
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: There were a couple of incidents, uh, you know, instances

723
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: rather where he was like that. Other than that, I

724
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: just think the good part about him was that he

725
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: didn't come on glued. I thought he was very centered

726
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: about everything. Uh And I think that he was very

727
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: understanding about what was going on and just plowed through it.

728
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: He got through it. They won the game, They got

729
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: the result that they went down there to get. And

730
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: I think he's probably very confident. He seems to be

731
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: that he'll be better this week and he'll be better

732
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: next week against Baltimore and so on and so on.

733
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati coming up on Sunday, Jamaar Chase will be with

734
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: him a different animal than what they played on that

735
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: Monday night game. That's the last loss that the Bengals had. Jim,

736
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: they've been red hot. Boy, they have ken and they're

737
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: really good. I mean, they really are good. Uh At

738
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: of course they were really great last year to go

739
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl and go right

740
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: down to the final gun before they ended up losing

741
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. Now they got off to a rough start, um,

742
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: and everybody kept talking about a hangover super Bowl hangover, um.

743
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: But boy, they have solved it. And you know, guys,

744
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: I was watching the NFL network last night and they

745
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: were re playing the game from Sunday down in Cincinnati

746
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and Bengals, and the the intensity in

747
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: that game was at a f C Conference championship game level.

748
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: It really was. And I say to myself, first of all,

749
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: I want the Browns to be playing in a game

750
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: like that with that kind of intensity. And then the

751
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: second point is I hope that they can compete in

752
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: a game like that. That's where we want to be.

753
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: We want to be in games just like that, and

754
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals are very comfortable playing in those kind of

755
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: big games, and more often than not in the last

756
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: two years, they're getting the right result. They're winning those games.

757
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: And Jim, do you think there's any truth to the

758
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: idea that a team can have a certain team's number,

759
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: because it certainly seems like we have the Bengals numbering

760
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: that they have a hard time to particularly with Joe

761
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: Burrow as a starter beating the Browns. Well, I would

762
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: say this, Gharade. If you take an a look through

763
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: the years. Um, we have had our difficulties with the

764
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: Steelers for many, many decades, not just years, as decades,

765
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: and I would say that they you know, they have

766
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: been in our heads, especially when you go over to Pittsburgh. Yeah,

767
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: I think that there are some teams that really give

768
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: you a problem and it and it multiplies the more

769
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: you go there or they come here and you don't

770
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: gain any kind of success. I don't think that we

771
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,479
Speaker 1: are in the bank. You know that we're in Joe

772
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: Burrow's head or in the Bengal's head right now. Um,

773
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: I just think that we have come up with a

774
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: couple of our best games of the season against them.

775
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean that game down in Cincinnati last year was

776
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: the best game of the season for the Bronze so far.

777
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: I would have to say that Thursday night Halloween game, Uh,

778
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: you know that was right there, is maybe the best

779
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: game of the season so far for the Bronx, and

780
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: it just happens to come against Cincinnati. I think the

781
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: Bronx are aware of how important it is, and they

782
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: kind of really they almost draft to compete in their

783
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: division to get players to match up against either the Bengals,

784
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: Ravens or Steelers um and and I think it's worked

785
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: for them. I think they're playing better inside the division. Jim,

786
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: we thank you for the time. We know we're all pressed.

808
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: coming on the show with us, because I have been

809
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: trying to extol the virtues of Donovan People's shownes basically

810
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: since the Bron's drafted him. I mean, I love the

811
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: pick when they drafted him, and here he is in

812
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: year three and the difference is being made. And I'm

813
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, as an analyst, I'm doing little champions post.

814
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm sorry I heard that. Well,

815
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about fast and since because I'm really

816
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: interesting that as well. Oh, he's very well dressed, man.

817
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: I saw what he was. I saw a lot of

818
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: guys in like the and ya, that's fine. You could

819
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: wear the travel jumpsuits and things like that to get

820
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: on the plane. And I looked at Donovan People's Jones

821
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: and said, my goodness, gracious, that is a well dressed man.

822
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: When he leaves the room, when he leaves the building,

823
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: Donovan Peoples Jones has it all together. Now. He was

824
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: not playing. You can't get clothes like that on me.

825
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: I'm just too big. I gotta have the I gotta

826
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: have a different build. You gotta have a different building.

827
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Can't can't look like that. I just can't. Hey, man,

828
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: they got big and tall. That looked like a semi

829
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: truck walking through the hallway. All right, Gerarde, of course,

830
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: that's coming up on Thursday, seven pm Kevin Stefanski show,

831
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: Brown's going down to Cincinnati, right onto the Queen's City,

832
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: right along the banks of the Ohio River. Gerardo, what

833
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: are you thinking on Sunday out of the Browns go

834
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: down there and get themselves a win, buddy, Well, it's

835
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: really simple. Duplicate, replicate e stole eight not even be

836
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: a word. But the whole point is that go do

837
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: what you've done in previous times with this team. Weather

838
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: the storm and then forced turnovers, play clean football, make

839
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: them beat themselves and get frustrated with the fact that

840
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: they can't believe that they're losing to you. And that's

841
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to do, and do it for

842
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: four quarters because this is a very good football team.

843
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: But for some reason, they get really really frustrated when

844
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: they play against us and they don't play to the

845
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: level that they're capable of. So continue that continuation of

846
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: giving them frustration and at the end you will see

847
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: a lot of elation. They don't like it. They don't

848
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: like it. It's a very awkward situation for me. I

849
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: agree with you. I said, go ahead and give it

850
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: to him. See what Deshaun Watsona do. Let's see what

851
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb can do. This offensive line, what they can do.

852
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit tougher task. DJ Readers

853

Speaker 1: back for the Cincinnati Bengals to the Browns. We'll have
