1
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Coming to you live from the Cross Country Mortgage Campus

2
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: in Barrio, Ohio. This is Cleveland Brown's Daily on esp

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Here are your hosts, Bo Bishop and Nathan Ziggura.

4
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's do it alive on a first Friday,

5
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: a miracle edition of Cleveland Browns Daily. That's the show

6
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: that was close. Yeah, what a bit great. That's the

7
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: show called Corb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld that we just

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: did a whole minutes on right there. You should tell

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: LD about it, about what just occurred and just say

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: he'd run with it. I think he would side with me. Oh,

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. Yeah, he'd be with I'm surprised that

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: has not been an episode yet, to be honest with you,

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: that was when I felt like, that's as close as

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to having a real conversation with Alb.

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: What we just I think there's certain rules and they

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: were not followed. It's fine, Well we'll move off of it. Um,

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: it's is it a w I canna tell you what?

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm ad at you? Why because yesterday

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, coaches up, we gotta go to be continued.

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: I'll start with their offense. Obviously a great player at quarterback.

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: The offense goes through him. As you can imagine, he's

22
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: outstanding in the run game, in the past game, can

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: can make plays within the offense, can make plays with

24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: with you know, outside the framework of the offense. So

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: a huge challenge and and somebody that we've played against,

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: and uh, you have a lot of tape on him,

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: you have a lot of h practice reps going against him.

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: But he's just a different challenge than you get most

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: weeks in the NFL. Great players around him. Tight End

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: number eighty nine is outstanding. Uh, as we know, he's

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: a really really productive player. So that the scheme presents

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: its challenges. And they're surrounded by good players, uh, and

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of new players. There are some some new

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: things that they're doing from a personnel standpoint, but they're

35
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: doing a nice job defensively, uh, you know, first year coordinator,

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: but Mike McDonald has been there, so uh, some similarities

37
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: to what they've done, but you do see his uh

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: imprint on on their defense so far. Obviously a small

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: sample size, but they're they're doing a nice job. They

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: still have some big, physical football players up front. They're

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: healthy at corner right now. Previous to last year, they're

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: healthy at quarter with forty four um Man in the outside,

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: and some really good young talent in the back end,

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: linebackers that can run, so challenge schematically, good, good defense,

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and then special teams. It's they're well coached, got a

46
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: great returner um and uh you know, some just good

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: football players across the board in their coverage phases. So

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: everybody has their work cut out for him this week

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: when you're facing this team but excited for the challenge

50
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: of a division game on the road without I'll take

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: any questions outside of potentially Dion Jones. Have you discussed

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: any other personnel changes on defense? Uh? No, I mean Dion,

53
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: we're hoping that he gets up to speed this week. UM.

54
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Other things would be just seeing who's available that type

55
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: of thing. Why it didn't sound very optimistic about Sunday

56
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: ruling him out. Yeah, I mean it's doubtful. I would

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: tell you, Uh, you know, I don't like ruling guys

58
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: out on Wednesdays. So we'll see how treatment goes and

59
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: those type of things. But he'll continue to rehab and

60
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: and try to make it back with Miles, you know,

61
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: he said after the game he was confident tont be

62
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: able to play sounding he's not practicing today. Um, but

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: do you still feel like he's on tractive Kellen mont

64
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Lamar this week? And is he the scout team he'd

65
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: be every week? Well, it's a little bit everybody week

66
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: to week. Josh Abbs makes a lot of those reps

67
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: to give himself, get himself ready and stay sharp. So

68
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: you'll get a little bit of all those guys. You

69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: may take some other players put him back there on

70
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: certain plays just to really work that speed element of it. So, uh,

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys that will try to fill

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: that role us a receiver in the past. M Jacoby

73
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: bris Well, first off, here's the first question. We know

74
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: that Joe Jacoby talk to the team after the game Sunday.

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't expect you to tell me what he's were

76
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: you in there when he's tatos that after those we're

77
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: on Do you think those kinds of messages were do

78
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: they getting, do they carry over or or how do

79
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: you look at up? Yeah? I would just tell you, Jeff,

80
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: whenever a player speaks up, players listen. It's and it's

81
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, this is a peer lead thing. Jacoby has

82
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: seen a lot in his career. I know he's a

83
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: young man still, but he's seen a lot. So I

84
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: think it's important when he does speak up. I think

85
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: the guys do listen. But at the end of the day,

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: it is a matter of doing. You know, we do

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: need to just follow through on on all the things

88
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: that we're talking about having on the subject of the

89
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: players stuff and not this leadership and things like that.

90
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: H J J Three said today that he doesn't feel

91
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: like everyone is on the task at end when they're

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: outside of this building. And you know, you can't teach

93
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: self motivation, But do you agree with that? And and

94
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: how you know, how do you get the team to

95
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: invest that extra time away from your facility. Yeah, I've

96
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: talked to John and I've talked to the leadership group

97
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: and talked to a lot of young players and and

98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: this is you know, you do want these guys to

99
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: take their jobs seriously. This is a This is a

100
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: job at the end of the day, and you gotta

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: spend time with it when you're in the building. You

102
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: gotta spend time away from the building. So there are

103
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: young players, of course that you're trying to teach them

104
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: how to be a pro until you teach them. There's

105
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: some guys that don't know so. Um, like most teams,

106
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: you have young players that you're bringing along. But I

107
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: think the guys do a good job of pouring everything

108
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: they have into these weeks and uh, you know, we

109
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: we fill up their day and we fill it up

110
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: with whether it's meetings and walk throughs and practice and

111
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: lifting and rehabbing those type of things. But there's also

112
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: an element of this job that you do, uh, stay

113
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: committed to it outside of this building. That's a little

114
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: more getting better as a password. Yeah, I mean he

115
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: makes he's good. I mean he makes plays from the pocket,

116
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: makes plays outside the pocket. Uh. He he spreads the

117
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: ball around. He doesn't target one area of the field.

118
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't target one player. I think he spreads the

119
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: ball around. I think he's he's accurate, the ball comes

120
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: out on time. Uh. You know, he's just dangerous because,

121
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, within the framework of the offense,

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: it's a well schemed up offense. And when you have

123
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback that can carry the ball and become that,

124
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, the defense has to account for him in

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: the run game. That's difficult from a run fit, and

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: I think every team that plays him understands that. And

127
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: then when that same guy can beat you from the

128
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: pocket with his arm, it presents all sorts of other challenges.

129
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: You said about everyone staying committed outside the building. Do

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: you think that's just limited to rookies? Do you think

131
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: you have some federans for are things so we got

132
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: kind of commit No, I wouldn't go so far as

133
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: you say that, Tony. I think you know my message

134
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: to the team, when you're not producing how you want

135
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: to produce. We all have to do our jobs and

136
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: then we all just have to do more. I think

137
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: it's do your job a little bit better, but let's

138
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: let's do more. What more can we do? Phillips was

139
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: talking about that earlier and said that like preparation for

140
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: the next day's practice, is that something that's needed, you know,

141
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: like like if you go home and you like part

142
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: of that propriations, that's something that I think it's It's

143
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: probably a little bit different for each position group. Marlote

144
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: and I think again, I think having vets in each

145
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: room to show the guys the way, and I think

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: it's really important. I think as coaches we are play

147
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: a factor in that and giving guys projects to homework

148
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: to do, so to speak. Uh So, it's just I

149
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: think so often in my career just watching young players

150
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: as they come this league, they're really raised by their

151
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: room in a lot of ways. And when you have

152
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: a room with some veterans that can show them the way,

153
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: I think that's ideal. And he said earlier in the

154
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: year that sometimes you have the guys like write down

155
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper what they want to get better,

156
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: bring it in the next day. Is that's something that

157
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: continues throughout the years. That just really an emphasis in

158
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: camp and then you just hope they do it on

159
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: their own. Yeah, I think it. It's definitely a big

160
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: emphasis in the off season in terms of skill development

161
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: and that type of thing. Uh. I do know that

162
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, some of the most important

163
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: work you do at practices during that individual period where

164
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: you're just refining those skills. So I don't think any

165
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: of the players or the coaches assume that guys are

166
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: as good as they're going to be technique wise when

167
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: the season starts. I do think that there's an ability

168
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: to get better there yield, there's a guy in right

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: yard of can't go. He's an option. Yeah. There there's

170
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of different guys that have played in there.

171
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Um yelled a was a guy obviously that finished out

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: the game, and uh last week, but we'll kind of

173
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: see where we go this week. Is the thing you

174
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: missed the most he's out there is just the disicality

175
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: he brings for the road name. Yeah, I mean he's

176
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: a good player. He Yeah, he's a good in the

177
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: run game, good in the past. Game, has played a

178
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: lot of good reps for us, played a lot for

179
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: us over the last few years. Uh. The Ravens and

180
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: their their takeaways. They've got eight interceptions, which I think

181
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: is third or type of third in NFL for for

182
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: smumbles or something like that. Defensively, they might not be

183
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: the best past defense statistically right now, but what about

184
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they're taking it away. Yeah, I think

185
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: they're doing a really nice job Mary kay and and

186
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: they're doing things a little bit different than they've done

187
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: maybe in years past, just some of the percentages of

188
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: certain coverages they're playing in those type of things. But

189
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, they have the players

190
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: to play at all. They can play man, they can

191
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: play and they can play all different versions of zone. Um,

192
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: and I think they're doing a nice job when they're

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: visual on the quarterback. Uh, they're breaking on the ball,

194
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: they're tipping the ball in the air coming down with interceptions.

195
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: So a bunch of versatile players in the back end

196
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: is um. You talk about options at right guard there.

197
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: What's going on with Chris Popper? Is he healthy? And

198
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: he he's healthy. He's really playing more tackle for US

199
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: right now, but he has by guard. Yes, yeah, but

200
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: in this instance, I still think he's a tackle for US.

201
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Has its problems the last three games and you're two

202
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: of their best games last year. We're against the Ravens.

203
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: How much do you look at that and how much

204
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: do you show that to the players that Yeah, I mean,

205
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: of course you watch a lot of that, Tony and

206
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: and so do they. You know, they look at the

207
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: tape to see how we tried to defend them, So

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their adjustments off of that. We look

209
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: at it, see what worked, what didn't work. Um. You know,

210
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: just getting back to earlier, it's a unique challenge playing

211
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens that they do things different than than most offenses.

212
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: That you're gonna see on a week to week basis,

213
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: so it is very specific to that week, and then

214
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: it's just kind of incumbent upon us to have a

215
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: plan that our guys can go play and play fast.

216
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: What do you need to see how jadeveon this week

217
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: too for him to be able to play someday. He's

218
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: coming along. You know, he's rehabbing very hard. He wants

219
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: to get out there. I think, you know, just seeing

220
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: practice and make sure that physically he can go be himself.

221
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: When you Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews, you know, you

222
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: go into that game knowing those two guys are gonna

223
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: connect and find each other, and you're spending hours trying

224
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: to stop that connection. How are they still able to

225
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of overcome that weekend and week go. Yeah, I

226
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: think every team goes in trying to shut them down,

227
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: and I think realistically that's really difficult to do. You

228
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: want to slow them down. Obviously, at the end of

229
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: the day, you want to score more points than their offense.

230
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: But you you go into every time you're playing this offense,

231
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: and you have your rules, and you need to tackle well,

232
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: and you need to do all those little things. You

233
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: also need to realize they have a really really good

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: player quarterback. He's a great player at tight end. They're

235
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna make their plays. Can you limit those? Can you

236
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: limit the big ones and tackle and get them on

237
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: the ground. Can you, uh, you know, force them into

238
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: some negative plays. But to say that you're just gonna

239
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: go and shut them out, I just nobody's done that.

240
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: Ravens run defense, especially against the Calm last week and

241
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: with dramatically, Um, are they similar at all to what

242
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots did? You go? Uh? Some similarities? Yeah, definitely

243
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: some similarities just with five guys in the line of scrimmage. Um,

244
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: they're physical that they're big, obviously powerful Mattabuque class campbell in.

245
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: They're good players on the edges. Um. But they're gonna wrote.

246
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: They play multiple fronts, they play multiple coverages. You know,

247
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: we'll see what their plan is for us uh and

248
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and vice versa. But there it's a stout front. Lamar

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: has had four interceptions in the fourth order this year.

250
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: I think last year you guys obviously picked them off

251
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: for time. Do you see that there? You're gonna get

252
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: me expecting there may be opportunities too to get the

253
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 1: football from him, you know, create turnovers, that sort of thing. Well,

254
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: I think you try every game. I mean, you're trying

255
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: to take it away. I don't think you want to

256
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: go into a game just trying to let them give

257
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: it to That just doesn't happen. I think mentality wise,

258
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: for the defenses, they have to go take it away.

259
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: Whether it's a strip you know, on a sack of strip,

260
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: on a tackle, a punching of it out, tipping a ball,

261
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: you know, breaking on the ball, those type of things.

262
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I think you have to have that mentality that you're

263
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna go take it away. I know you don't want

264
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: to say what Jacoby said, but could you say anything

265
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: about just the emotion or the moment that house to

266
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: feel like a important moment or Again, I have a

267
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: ton of respect for Jacoby, as does the entire team.

268
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: So when one of the leaders and the football team

269
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: speaks up in any setting, um, guys listen. It's a

270
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: It's an important part of leadership when those guys feel

271
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: like they want to share share Always it's been something

272
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: like last year was slow going until you've got to

273
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: that Ravens game. I think, Um, I know guys have

274
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: talked about the mean, contagious and even just drill takeaway

275
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: so much. Is there anything more that that can happen

276
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 1: to create those or manufacture room or just trying. I

277
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: mean we're trying. Every team is trying to get get

278
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the ball. It's such a huge part of of this game.

279
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Getting more opportunities for your scoring on defense, getting opportunities

280
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: for your offense, setting an offense up for a score.

281
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a formula for winning across the NFL, obviously,

282
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: and you can win games where you don't take it away.

283
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: It's just it becomes more difficult, and then it's very

284
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: important for the offense to take care of the ball.

285
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: But in terms of no, you can't speak it into existence.

286
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: So what can you do? You can work it at practice,

287
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: you can drill it, you can emphasize that, you can

288
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: watch tape, you can talk about it in the meeting room. Good, okay,

289
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: thanks you guys. Which to ski at the podium. What

307
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: it's not twenty degrees? Of course you would this is it.

308
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: This is what you would call a wintry mix. And

309
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: this is pure trash. What is it like? Forty and

310
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: it's rainy, snowy, slushy, gross, windy, feels thirty. How many

311
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,359
Speaker 1: of these days do we get in a year? Gibbe,

312
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: too many, far too many. This reminds me. This looks

313
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: like March. It feels like thirty one. What happened to

314
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: March used to be a really great month. Let me

315
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: introduce you to hell. This is it. This is it.

316
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: Every other weather that we have, I can I'm fine

317
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: one you can live with. I understand it. Continue to

318
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: live in the North, perfect humidity. Fine, don't love the rain,

319
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: but this is it. The good news is it's the

320
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: last day of it for this week tomorrow and cloudy

321
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: seventies for the weekend. The weekend is gonna be amazing.

322
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: This is probably the last great one. Now. Of course,

323
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I think when we go to Baltimore on Sunday, the

324
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: weather not so great. It's supposed to be seventy here

325
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, rain in sixty on Sunday in Baltimore.

326
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: What sucks for you guys. But it's gonna be wonderful here.

327
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: I plan on thriving both days. Yeah, this is it

328
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: the Nator job. Um, all right. Coach Savanski addressed some

329
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: of the issues. We're gonna get to those coming up

330
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: next in terms of who's in, who's out, anything else

331
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: that stood out from that. We have some roster moves

332
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: as well to get to we get to all of that.

333
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: We're often running on a first Friday edition of Cleveland

338
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: As we turned the page to Baltimore not practicing today,

339
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: among those, Joel betony O, Jadivian Clowney, Jack Conklin, Amari Cooper, Miles,

340
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Garrett hag Teller Ward all down as we start here

341
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: on a first Friday, concern level for all of those

342
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: all over the map, right, yeah, now, you're good, all right.

343
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: I would expect Betonio to play. I do believe Clowney

344
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: will play, Conklin will play, Amari will play, Miles will play.

345
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Not sure on Haig Teller I believe will not play.

346
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: And Denzel Ward. You never know what the way the

347
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: protocols are so I have no idea. Are we still

348
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: in the same protocols concussion. I know that they were

349
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: enhanced after the tourist stuff in terms of idea, but

350
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: the people who are the same people who are cleared,

351
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like it's more stringent. People

352
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: who are cleared are still somehow in the protocol so

353
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I don't know what's going on here.

354
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: Like with that, it feels like that got changed on

355
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: the fly after the after the to thing on the

356
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Um, the Teller loss is a big one.

357
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: You felt it in the game on Sunday. And he's

358
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: one of the best guards in the league. Yeah, he

359
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: is one of the guards. And Lea yeldefro Hold did

360
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: an excellent job and I would expect him to get

361
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: the start again. Were Kevin's fancy is one of the options.

362
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: The others would be, you know, Mike and Michael Dunne

363
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: would be an option, and Drew Forbes would be an option.

364
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: But my guess is that yeldefro Holt, who has been

365
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: very very good for this team this year, would would

366
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: be the one. Um. Miles would be obviously, Miles and

367
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: Clowney together. That's it feels like a must against Lamar.

368
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: So if that's trending in that way, that's about it be.

369
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to It's interesting when you think

370
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: about our defense and you think about think about NFL

371
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: defense in general. Right now, Um, you are in a

372
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: way prisoner to what the other offense is capable of

373
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: because everything is done is rigged for the offensive side

374
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: of the ball to an extreme nature, and so in

375
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: a sense you are kind of at the mercy of

376
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: the offense um. The one thing about the construction of

377
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: our defense, though, that was that was known and we've

378
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: got a lot of problems on that side of the ball.

379
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: It's been well documented. We also needed are great players

380
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: to be great and to be available, So you need

381
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: to have Miles and Jadevi in there a lot. That's

382
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: it's a big drop off those two to who's next,

383
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: And the same would be true of of Denzel Ward.

384
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: And this is of no fault of Zone. He can't

385
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: help that. He's in concussion protocol. I'm not suggesting that.

386
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: But part of this defense being great is Denzel being

387
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: one of the best cover corners in the league, and

388
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: this year he's not been. So those are things that

389
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: for this defense to work. Now you still have the

390
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: bus and the mix ups and all of those things,

391
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: but some of that stuff would be mitigated had we

392
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: had Clowney and Garrett every single Sunday and Denzel playing

393
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: to the level that he normally is accustomed to playing

394
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: to totally. Anything about just the matchups last year with

395
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Miles, Garrett and Clowney combined for three and

396
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: a half sacks. Miles had a sex strip fumble touchdown

397
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: and the Browns win over the Ravens. Clown He had

398
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: a tackle for a loss, Miles had a tackle for loss,

399
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: Denzel had an interception. So yeah, those are those are

400
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: principal players and guys that you need to play at

401
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: a high level for you and you have not had

402
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: their services as often as you would like when or

403
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: at the level in the case of Denzel Ward that

404
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: was probably expected. And so all three of those guys

405
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: have missed at least one game. Clown he's missed three,

406
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, Denzel has missed one, Miles has missed one.

407
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: So it's been it's been tough in that regard. And yeah,

408
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: you've got your hands full with this Baltimore Ravens team

409
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: that is very, very good. They are very good. And

410
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: when you kind of dive into the numbers, you said yourself,

411
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, they obviously probably much as we do think

412
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: they should have a better record than they actually do.

413
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: They've blown three leads, they have led for more than

414
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: forty five minutes a game on average. They have trailed

415
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: for on average two minutes a game, which is the

416
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: lowest figure in the NFL. You do the math real quickly.

417
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: They've been behind for twelve minutes all season, so I yeah,

418
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: that's that's stunning. I didn't watch their game against the Giants.

419
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: I know you did. You you rewatched it this week.

420
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: But from a I was able to have them on

421
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: in the second screen nature in their loss to Miami

422
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: and they're lost to Buffalo, and in both those instances,

423
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: I believe that I have this right that the other

424
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: the opposing teams did not lead until they won. Yep, yeah, they.

425
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: I mean they've scored first in every game. They have

426
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: not they have not trailed at the end of the

427
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: first quarter, second quarter, or first quarters, side quarter, or

428
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: third quarter in any game this year. It's crazy. And

429
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: they somehow have three loss three and three. Yeah, yeah, no,

430
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: they they are good. And you know, Lamar's been sensational.

431
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: You talked about this yesterday in terms of what he

432
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: is um in the fourth quarters of games versus what

433
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: he is in the first three quarters of games, and

434
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: maybe there's something to that a little bit. They did

435
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: bolster their team. They added a veteran free agent de

436
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson to the practice squad yesterday. It feels like

437
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: they are a home for that type of situation. Yeah.

438
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: And and de Sean Jackson's the guy that I thought

439
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: was an interest in candidate for the Cleveland Browns to

440
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: be talked with you, I don't expect him to be

441
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: much of a factor this week unless they want to

442
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: get him in there and run a few go routes.

443
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: I think five goes. The biggest thing for them is

444
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: getting Rashad Bateman back. Uh. That's who they really I

445
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: think need back on this offense. And you can there's

446
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: been a big decline without him the last couple of

447
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: weeks from a health standpoint. In the backfield. What did

448
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: what did they get last week out of Dobbins in

449
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: the run game? Do they get anything? No? So Dobbins

450
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: rushed for I think seven times for fifteen yards last

451
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: week against the Giants, and they said that his knee

452
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: tightened up on him and so he didn't even see

453
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: him really in the second half of that game. The

454
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: guy who was their leading rusher was Kenyan Drake. He

455
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: had a season I ten carries for a hundred nineteen

456
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown against the Giants. That's eleven point

457
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: nine to carry. Uh. The touchdown was a thirty yard

458
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: or It was the most rushing yards he's had since

459
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: weeks six of twenty when he's remember of the Arizona

460
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals he had a hundred sixty four against Dallas. And

461
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: those of you who may remember the name Kenyan Draked

462
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: go back in two thousand and nineteen on the Browns

463
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: trip to Paradise. He ruined it. He had twenty two

464
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: carries for a hundred and thirty seven yards, not one,

465
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: not two, not three, but four rushing touchdowns in that

466
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: game against the brown So I would expect you're going

467
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: to see a lot of Kenyan Drake in this game. Yeah,

468
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: Dobbins has you have to play a full game, and

469
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Drakes a hundred plus yards was the first time back

470
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: had gone over a hundred yards for the Ravens here

471
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: this season. By the way, he has been under thirty yards,

472
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: right around thirty or less than every other game. It

473
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: was a little bit of an Nominally, they have not

474
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: been a great rushing football team from the running back position.

475
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: They are averaging a hundred and fifty five yards a

476
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: game rushing. Lamar Jackson himself is averaging almost eighty at

477
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: eight point one yard to carry. No big deal, Yeah,

478
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: none at all. Um. We had a couple of things

479
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I want to run by both of you guys. From

480
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: a sports perspective. You have the Guardians losing last night

481
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: in New York. Great season for them. Um. I was

482
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: having a back and forth with a buddy mine who

483
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: was like, UM, you know, when do you when do

484
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: we get a win? Like we keep hearing this is

485
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: the best, such a great smart front office. When we

486
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: actually get a win a championship to be considered that

487
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: and and I said, I understand where you're coming from.

488
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: I understand like being upset about it, but I would

489
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: also say that that is not a sport where everyone's

490
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: playing the same sport, the payrolls are are not even

491
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: in the same vicinity. And then I was thinking to myself,

492
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: are the Royals the only since the money has gotten

493
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: crazy the last fifteen years? Are the Royals the only

494
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: franchise that won the World Series with completely almost homegrown

495
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: developed eyes. They want it in fourteen they had this

496
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: little window year they went and they want it. I

497
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: can't remember the order of it. They either want it

498
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: and went or went and won it, but they did

499
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: win the one and then they were right off a

500
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: cliff again. Where the Giants like that in their most

501
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: recent run, I feel like they spent, but they weren't

502
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: like they weren't like Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox. No, for them, probably, Yeah,

503
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: they had the one, the World Series like every other

504
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: year for I think they won three of them. Yeah,

505
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: that's a good that could be. Do we It's hard

506
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,239
Speaker 1: to meet for me to imagine the Giants is like

507
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: a small market. It's not a small market, but I

508
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it's But I don't know if they spent.

509
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't I can't recall. I don't follow it close

510
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: enough to to know if they spent a lot in

511
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: in free agency or not. Um. You also have tonight

512
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: the debut of the Cavaliers. They opened their season in Toronto,

513
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: UM against we the North. So uh you have that

514
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: one tonight. Let me ask you this, were you aware

515
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: at what point you become aware that the NBA opened

516
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: last night? Yesterday? Yesterday? Can you recall that in your

517
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: sports fandom? Like we do this for a living. I

518
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: know we're NFL heavy focus, but I have other things too,

519
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: and I I was unaware until yesterday that they were

520
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: opening the NBA season last night. I thought they were

521
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: a week early. Normally it's like around how Halloween. Yeah,

522
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little early. Yeah, I knew

523
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: preseason had been going on, but that was that was it.

524
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: I do not, for the life of me, understand why

525
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: it's too much. There's too much going on right now. Man,

526
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: You've got you've got all these shows, You've got all

527
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: of these sports happening. Everyone is consuming the NFL, then

528
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: they're consuming college football. Everything else is fighting for table scraps.

529
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: There's no reason to launch the NBA while you're still

530
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: in the baseball playoffs. Wait three weeks if you have to,

531
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: I would wait till December. But I have a hard

532
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: time understanding why you're opening an NBA season on October nine.

533
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: There's no need at all none. You have a doubleheader

534
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: last night. But meanwhile, you've got Game one of the NLCS,

535
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: You've got Indian or guard Guardian Yankees Game five. Like,

536
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: way too much stuff going on. I mean we're talking

537
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. We're not exactly talking

538
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: the weekend, which you know is going to be all

539
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: football dominated. Yeah, I don't know to me, it feels like,

540
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: at the very least, they don't need to start this

541
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: until the first in November because it's too much. You

542
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: gotta wait till the baseball ends. You don't need to

543
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: have all the football the baseball wrapping up. I mean,

544
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: I understand it's a niche sport, but hockey still it

545
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: just started last week too. It's too much like fighting

546
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: for the same you know, pay attention to us, yelling,

547
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: and there's too much going on. Um So, I don't

548
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: know from the the Calves perspective, like what avoid the

549
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: playing game? Playing games? You want to be the sixth

550
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: seed or better? Four to six win forty round between

551
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: forty eight games? Is it seem about right? They think

552
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: they should be able. I like them to do that, don't. Yeah,

553
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: that's what I said. That's I think that's an expectation.

554
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: They're not going to be better than you know, a

555
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: great podcast on Serious NBA channel involving them and they're

556
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: people were like, you have to be at least a

557
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: sixth seed for it to be a successful season. You

558
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: don't want to be in any part of the playoffs stuff. Yeah,

559
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: playing nonsense. Yeah, so six gets you that you got

560
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks. You've got the Celtics, and then like those

561
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: two have separated, then you have the Sixers, the Heat,

562
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Who am I missing? Sixers? Heat Brooklyn with all three

563
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: of those guys healthy, and then it's Red Pillar, Blue

564
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: Pill right then it's just then it's you and the

565
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: Hawks for the six So that's to me, that seems

566
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: where they ought to be. Stay healthy, Like it starts there. Yeah,

567
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. They skipped a step in the rebuild.

568
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: Usually you don't do those things. Usually this thing was

569
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: gonna be built piece by piece over time. Donovan Mitchell

Speaker 1: points a game. The last three three touchdowns, four picks,

612
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: sixty nine rating twenty nine league, the Ravens averaging nineteen

613
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: point seven points per game. He's struggled against the Blitz

614
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: last three weeks. We've talked about his fourth quarter wos.

615
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: His fifty six rating in the fourth quarter second lowest

616
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, his four interceptions in the fourth quarter

617
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: most in the NFL, and so that's really how he

618
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: goes they go, and his fourth quarter wos is what

619
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: allowed some of these comebacks. Now, they are an excellent

620
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: first down offense. They average six point eight yards per

621
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: play on first down this year, most in the NFL.

622
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: They have scored first in every single game this year,

623
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: which is a stunning thing. And then they've got a

624
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: guy named Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews eight games versus the

625
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: Browns in his career forty catches, five ten yards, seven touchdowns.

626
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: All seven scores have come in the last six games

627
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: against the Brownsies scored both times last year. By the way,

628
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: that's the second most against one team since two thousand nineteen.

629
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: Davante Adams against the Vikings has eight touchdowns. He has

630
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns against the Browns in his last uh six games.

631
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: That is to me bonkers um for the season, thirty

632
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: nine catches, four and fifty five yards, five touchdowns, almost

633
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: on their team. In fact, we said yesterday his thirty

634
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: nine catches are more than the next three Ravens combined,

635
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: who combined for thirty eight of them. He's second among

636
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: all tight ends and receptions and touchdowns, tied for first

637
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: with yards. By the way, he's tied or trailing Travis

638
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey and all three categories. Rashad Bateman, their first rounder

639
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: last year, eleven catches two hundred forty three yards, which

640
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: is second on the team despite missing the last two games,

641
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: averaging twenty two point one yards per catch, second in

642
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: the NFL behind Gabe Davis. He's got seven catches a

643
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: hundred three yards last time versus Cleveland, and the offense

644
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: has been better with him. I mentioned Kenyan Drake coming

645
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: off that season nine hundred nineteen yards and a touchdown.

646
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: This is a good team. They can run it hundred

647
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: fifty five point seven yards per games six the most,

648
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: five point nine yards per carry, that is first, and

649
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: they have thirty three rushes of ten or more yards,

650
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: which is second only to the Browns thirty four. So

651
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: that's who they are on offense. It's a lot of

652
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, It's a lot of Mark Andrews, and that's

653
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: really the way they do it now. Defensively, so far

654
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: this season, it's a Baltimore Ravens team. And if I

655
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: could just had one other note real quickly, their strengths

656
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: have been our weaknesses. They're the fifth scoring offense. We

657
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: are the thirtieth scoring defense in fact, the step makes

658
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: me very sad to say allowed. Only Detroit Lions are

659
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: giving up more points per game in the Cleveland Browns

660
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: in two they are fourth in big plays, we are

661
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: twenty nine in big plays. They are second in turnover

662
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: differential we are twenty six. They are third in yards

663
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: per play, we are twenty eight yards where plays a

664
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: defense just to complete one eight from last year, they're

665
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: the sixth rushing offense were against the run um They're

666
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: they're pretty good offense. I mean, their offensive ranks there

667
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: in the top half of the league in every single category. Now,

668
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: defensively they are twenty against the past. That's where they

669
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: have struggled a little bit, and especially in the fourth quarter.

670
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter of the Ravens given up five

671
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: fifty two yards and six touchdowns in the fourth quarter alone. However,

672
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: they take the football away. They have twelve takeaways this year,

673
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: third most in the league. Their plus four in the

674
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: turnover differential second. They have a takeaway in eight straight games,

675
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: the longest streak in the NFL, and they have sixteen

676
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: takeaways in that eight game streaks, so that is also

677
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. They have not allowed a single

678
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: point on a team's opening possession. Only team in the

679
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: NFL that that is true of so far. They've mixed

680
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: things up. This is very different than what we've seen recently.

681
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: They are not a huge Cover one, Cover three team. Uh.

682
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: They play man one percent. That's twentieth. They play Cover three,

683
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: that's twenty in the league. They play they blitz Cover

684
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: zero only ten eight point one percent of the time,

685
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: but that's fourth most in the league. So they will

686
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: bring heat after you. Um, and they play a lot

687
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: of dimet dime that is highest in the league. Uh.

688
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: Their stars. They are without one of their big stars,

689
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: their big free agent signing, Marcus Williams, who came in

690
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: and led the team with three interceptions. He has missed

691
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: the last two games. He's on i R. He will

692
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: not play against the Browns. And considering they're a dime team,

693
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: which means they like to have three safeties out there

694
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: taking him out as big um. They've got two excellent

695
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: corners Marlon Humphrey Marcus Peters. Safeties are Chuck Clark, Geno Stone,

696
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: and then the rookie Kyle Hamilton's kind of that dime

697
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: safety for them. Patrick Queen, who was down for a while,

698
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: is having a heck of a season. Bounce back, didn't

699
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: He bounce back in a major way. And they love

700
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: to blitz him. And he has been very effective as

701
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: a rushing the passer so far this year, has Patrick

702
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: Queen and and that's something that we certainly need to

703
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. We need to be sound in

704
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: our protections. Uh, they won't. We'll see Justin Houston. He's

705
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: missed the last few games, but still has good numbers

706
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: on the year. But Queen thirty eight tackles, two tackles

707
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: for loss to pass his defense, he's got an interception

708
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: as well, and he has a forced fumble. He's got

709
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: seven quarterback hits, which is most on the team even

710
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: though he is a linebacker. Uh. So he's had a

711
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: very good year. Um. I mentioned Marcus Williams, he won't play.

712
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: He's got three picks, Marlon Humphrey two picks on the season.

713
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Peters has a pick on the season. Uh. Combined, they've

714
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: got eight passes defense. Um, you've got o'dafe oh Way

715
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: with a sack, Justin Matta Bouquet, their interior young interior

716
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: guys got two and a half. Sex Justin Houston, the

717
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: veteran two Sex, but again he hasn't played in three

718
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: straight weeks. Uh. The rookie Travis Jones has a sack,

719
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre Paul. The veterans got a sack as well,

720
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,479
Speaker 1: they brought him in. Clariss Campbell two sacks, six quarterback hits,

721
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: So a lot of veterans, not a ton of new faces.

722
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: And that was really true of them on offense. I

723
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: was trying to look at the guys that are new

724
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: that contribute. Kenyan Drake, DeMarcus Robinson. Body's got nine catches

725
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: for so many six yards on the season. Morgan Moses

726
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: their right tackle, but he left last week with the

727
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: heel injury, so that'll be a weakness. If they bring

728
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: in Patrick McCary or Daniel follow Y, that'll be a

729
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: big weakness for them at right tackle. But back to

730
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: the defense anyway, Clais Campbell, Matte Bouquet, Travis Jones. They're big,

731
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: big upfront, they can get after the quarterback, and then

732
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: they've got, as I said, Queen at the second level

733
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: of Lee Harris in the former Ohio State Buckeye Josh Binnes,

734
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: and then the back end is where they're good. Humphrey Peters.

735
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: But their past defense hasn't been good. It's kind of stupefying,

736
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: but they've got a lot of guys who have been

737
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: very accomplished in this league. How's Kyle Hamilton doing there

738
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: to start the year solid? I'm surprised that Geno Stone

739
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: is playing over him, to be honest with you, a

740
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: third year player out of Iowa. He's playing more snaps.

741
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: Last week, for example, Clark played all sixty four Stone

742
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: forty eight, Hamilton's twenty nine. Marcus William supposed to be

743
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: the free safety. Hamiltons always supposed to be the third

744
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: safety in their dime package. Very interesting there. They are

745
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: a product of consistency and stability, and it's remarkable that

746
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: this is now fifteen seasons for John Harbaugh. He's a

747
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one and ninety nine. They've won in

748
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways with him. Um, I think

749
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: we're really going back to the drafting of Lamar and

750
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: that rookie season for Lamar when there's a lot of

751
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, questioning whether Harbor would be back. He was

752
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: a lame duck coach, which nobody wants to be, but

753
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: he had no contract beyond that year he coached in

754
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: that year, they were great. They went to Lamar and

755
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: he was open enough to switch his philosophy on what

756
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: he wanted to be offensively and has won with it

757
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: at a staggering amount. Um. Their ultra concerned, their ultra um.

758
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: The the consistency is just admirable because they know what

759
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: they are. Um. Even in this you know, Wink Martindale

760
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: leaves as a defensive coordinator, so Mike McDonald comes in.

761
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald had been with Baltimore since two thousand and fourteen.

762
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: He goes to Michigan for one year. In the one

763
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: year at Michigan transforms their defense. They beat o highest

764
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: State for the first time and forever. Um. He's got

765
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: two great defensive ends and a job. Oh and um,

766
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm the kid who went number number one overall. Why

767
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: am I blank of the defensiveended Lions Hutchinson Hutchinson Yeah. Um,

768
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: so he has those two guys, he changes the defense.

769
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,959
Speaker 1: He comes back. They're different. They're not great to point

770
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: right now, but it's a familiar face in the North.

771
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: They're not having to relearn things all the time. That's

772
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 1: the point of it. They know they are. They draft

773
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: to it. They're one of those teams that every time

774
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: I see their draft, I go, I mean, I can't.

775
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: I did this with Queen, I did it with Hamilton's

776
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: I loved him both coming out of college. I did

777
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: it with Lamar, anybody but Baltimore. With Lamar, I just

778
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: kept just please not Baltimore. I don't. I didn't know

779
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: if he would be great, but I didn't want the up.

780
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: I knew that the ceiling was really high, and I

781
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: didn't want it in the division. Go anywhere else but here. Um.

782
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: So they draft well, they developed well, and they have stability,

783
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: and it's led to just a ton of excess for them.

784
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: That sure has they They have been like you said,

785
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: they have been consistent and that stability has been good

786
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: for them. And defensively this year, really it's the turnovers.

787
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: The takeaways have helped mask issues in the past. Defense.

788
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: They're bad in the red zone, red zone defense overall

789
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: twenty scoring against the past, but their seventh against the rush,

790
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: twelfth on third down tied for leventh, and sacks tied

791
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: for seventh in big place, So they don't give up

792
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: a lot of big plays. But they just haven't been great. Honestly,

793
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: they have not been a great defense, and even watched

794
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: them against the Giants. You know, Marcus Peters and Marlon

795
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: Humphrey both coming back from injuries. They're not quite the same.

796
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: They're not quite the same. No, I would also say

797
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: this for them, in a little bit of defense of

798
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: of their record they have, it hasn't been an ambitious schedule. Yeah,

799
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: so they beat the Jets, They went at the Jets

800
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: week one with Flacco. Then they lose to the full

801
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: throated Dolphins with two entiree kill and all of that.

802
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: They were up big in that game in Miami, Kim's

803
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: all the way back and wins at the end. They

804
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots by eleven. Um, they were up big

805
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: on the Bills. I want to say it was like

806
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: twenty two three, and the Bills come back and win

807
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: that one game, that game right at the end twenty

808
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: they beat the Bengals head to head, and they lose

809
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: to the Giants late. So they've played a much more

810
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: ambitious schedule, for example, than we have. If you if

811
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: you look at their next few set of games here, um,

812
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: they they have us, then they're at Tampa Bay at

813
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: the Saints. I mean, there's an opportunity here to really

814
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: get healthy after get done with us in the Bucks

815
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: because it's at Saints, who knows what they'll be. Then

816
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: it's Panthers, Jaguars, Broncos, Steelers for them, and then they

817
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: close with uh here, play us here, then Atlanta, Pittsburgh

818
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: and the Bengals. That's the rest of the schedule. So

819
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: they've played their toughest stretch already. That's been done, which

820
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: is good for them. It's great for them. Yeah, yeah, Um.

821
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: And from a special team's perspective, they have Justin Tucker,

822
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: who's the best to ever do it. Um give me

823
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: pointing out a new punter and long snapper this year. However, Um, look,

824
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: if they have a chance at a field goal, he

825
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: makes it like that's just it. It is, Um from

826
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: a Browns you know, potential road trip, I love this one.

827
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: You got a lot of airports to fly into. There's

828
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to do Baltimore. You can do

829
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: actual Baltimore, or you can do DC area. You could

830
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: do Annapolis and go out to the Naval Academy. You

831
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: have that working for you. A ton of great restaurants

832
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: in all of those places. The stadium is awesome, it's great,

833
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: a great environment, It is intimate. Every every seat is sensational.

834
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: It's loud. They know who they are. Um you know

835
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: they were doing the the omar thing the whistle last

836
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: time last year after his passing. Like they do all

837
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: of the little stuff, right they do. You gotta give

838
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: me credit. Azzy comes in the booth thirty minutes before

839
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: kick wishes you luck, literally shakes your hand, gives you

840

00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: You're all taken care of. Okay, good good luck to UH.

842
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: He's crab cakes at halftime in the in the press box.

843
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: Once a win. A fine media. Yeah, there's a lot

844
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: of that's admirable about the way they go about their business,

845
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: but not because what put two and two together. Different

846
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: experiences in different places, Sorry, experiences different places. It's not

847
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: about you, Gibbe. I love the UH. I also love

848
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: the Harbor experience. They're a lot of great restaurants down there.

849
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: It's a fantastic a little bar. We did some damage

850
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: in last year. We played on Sunday night. Yeah, the

851
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: horse you came in on saloon. That's the name of

852
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: the joint. That's a great name for a joint and

853
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: it lives up to the hype, my friend, that whole area.

854
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty good at Federal Hill. Yeah, Federal great area, great,

855
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: great night life. We've had a nice we had a

856
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: nice dinner to Zoomi with Mr Modeley a couple of

857
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: years ago. Modes. It's kind of like a Noboo type

858
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: spot right on the water. Perfect. Yeah. No, I like it.

859
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: I like a lot about it. Unfortunately, there's a lot

860
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: to envy because they a lot of this stuff has

861
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: been very smooth for them over the last twenty years

862
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: or so. Um, And they've got a great team this

863
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: year that I think is they feel better than three

864
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: and three. Quite frankly, they're beat a lot better than that. No, No,

865
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: for sure, and there's we have some of the things

866
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: that are required to beat them. Um. But you wouldn't

867
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: argue that this is is anything other than this is

868
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: the best team we've played right to this point. I

869
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: think that's probably right. Certainly the best players. I mean,

870
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: because the Chargers for whatever reason that they're not like

871
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: this team. This team is for whatever reason also not

872
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: they're not closing. But I've seen more greatness out of

873
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: Baltimore in their games, and I've seen it. I haven't

874
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: seen I don't know that I've seen the Chargers great

875
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: one dominant yet well that they played the Chiefs and

876
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: they were good from a lot of Yeah, they were

877
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: good for a lot of that game. That's kind of

878
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: the only window you have into them being really good

879
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: was that Chiefs game. Other than that, it's been largely

880
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 1: uneven for them, whereas this team, even in their three losses,

881
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: for the majority of the games, they've been the better

882
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: team for whatever reason. They are not clutching the fourth

883
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: quarter and they've lost to some good teams. So that's

884
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: where that stands, all right. Uh, Coming up at the

885

00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: last night. You know, I don't want to, I don't

901
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: want to start tearing up on our interview here, but

902
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: that was it was highly emotional. It was cool kind

903
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: of thought. But the way the Guardians game was gonna

904
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: go yesterday, that it would not be as festive as

905
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: atmosphere as it was yesterday. But to do that last

906
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: night and then to be in Pikesville, Kentucky today with

907
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: Governor Andy Bishare of the Great State Commonwealth of Kentucky,

908
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: It's been an awesome last eighteen hours. What are we

909
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: doing in Kentucky? Burn what are you? What are you

910
00:45:54,120 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: doing the apples down there? I'm creating agriculture entrepreneurs. We

911
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: call it acupreneurs. And you know what we we repurpose.

912
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: We repurpose closed coal mines. So one of the things

913
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: that's been through my kind of health and rejuvenation has

914
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: been kind of learning a holistic eating and food is

915
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: your medicine. So fruit and vegetables has been a big

916
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: staple in my in my diet. And the the fossil

917
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: fuel global warming climate change thing has also been a

918
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: big thing in society. And those two worlds really met

919
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: when I found a closed coal mine and when I

920
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: did the science of it. The science of it said

921
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: that the apple tree should be able to really grow there,

922
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: and an Appalachia here before the coal industry started in

923
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: nine d. This is really a farming community. So to

924
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: be able to revitalize these communities, these families, these people,

925
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: and also reinvig rate and revitalize the pollution in the land,

926
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: the air, in the water. I'm just so fired up

927
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: to be part of this awesome That is awesome, Bernie,

928
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: and we're happy that you've got so many awesome things

929
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: going on, because right now, Bernie has not been awesome

930
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: with the Browns losing three in a row. Kind of

931
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: what's your assessment right now just of this team and

932
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 1: what it has to do to get back on track.

933
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, the There's there's a couple points to that,

934
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 1: one of which is you know, we're we're talking even

935
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: about us here at the start of this interview here

936
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: about the excitement. You can kind of hear the excitement

937
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: in our voice when we're talking about with us the

938
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, or helping the community, helping out people

939
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: here in Appalachia giving back like that. From the football

940
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: side of it, that's that that type of confidence, that

941
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: type of belief. I really believed we had that early

942
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: in the year. One of the things that's kind of

943
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: showed up to me the last week or two. There's

944
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: a little bit as maybe self doubting ourselves, so having

945
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of maybe not having the confidence, not

946
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: having the belief in ourselves, um, maybe thinking a little

947
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: bit too much out there, and not letting our physical gifts,

948
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: our physical abilities take over. Um. I think that's one

949
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: part of it. And then second the second part. Um

950
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: from a physical standpoint, we are undersized right now defensive tackle,

951
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: a linebacker, and when you're playing with the lead and

952
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: you're winning and teams need to throw the ball to

953
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,959
Speaker 1: catch up, we're really well suited to to get after

954
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But when they have the lead or it's

955
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: a run type game, the physical running game um, we're

956
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: having troubles with stopping just like a lot of teams

957
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: still are having trouble stopping us. So when we fall

958
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: behind and we don't get into our running game like

959
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: what happened last week against Bill Belichick and the Patriots, UM,

960
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: I thought Kevin Stefanski his answers are or to me,

961
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: so is still clear? He goes, You know, I don't

962
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: go into any games thinking I'm gonna get Nick Chopp

963
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: just twelve carries. That's not the goal. But when we

964
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: fall behind like that, we're not We're not the team

965
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: that's able to throw it, throw it all the time

966
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: to get back in there, just like we're probably not

967
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: the defense that is best suited to stop the big,

968
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: physical runs running teams. And that didn't help us last

969
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: week against the Patriots, And that makes it a equally

970
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: if not bigger issue this week against the Baltimore Ravens

971
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: and stopping Lamar Jackson and their running game because eerily

972
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: early similar um as bad as we may fill a

973
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: two and four, the Baltimore Ravens aren't exactly festive at

974
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 1: three and three, and they've had equally somewhat similar issues

975
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: this year with their football team like we've had with ours, Bernie.

976
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: One thing that we're seeing, and it's such a departure

977
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: from what we saw last year with Joe Woods defense,

978
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: is we're seeing some real bush We saw it in

979
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: the past game earlier. We've seen it in the run

980
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: game of late we saw it both quite frankly on Sunday.

981
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: And one of the things that I was curious about

982
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: from your perspective, when when it's just not have you

983
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 1: been on a team where it's just not going right

984
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: and it doesn't make sense because the year before it

985
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: all went right, And when you're on something like that,

986
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: how do you change change direction? How do you how

987
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: can you get it back on the rails? These games

988
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: come at you so fast. Is there time for deep

989
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 1: dives in the middle of all of this? I think

990
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: it's tough. I think it's tough to do wholesale deep

991
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: dives at these points of the season right now. I

992
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: do think so when you you have these type issues,

993
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: and I know there's there's been a big crusade to

994
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: crucify Joe Woods and and some of the coaches and stuff,

995
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: But there's a balance between the coaching and us as

996
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: players making plays, and you know, two weeks ago, I

997
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: was I was one of the guys that said, hey,

998
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: maybe we should look at playing a little ad more

999
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: man defense, pressure defense, get guys around the line of scrimmage,

1000
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: and Denzel Award and Greg Newsome maybe better suited for

1001
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: that man type defense. Well, Coach Woods played and called

1002
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: some of those fronts and those defenses. Last we called

1003
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: some of those blitz is. On the thirty one yard

1004
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Stevenson on third and ten, I want

1005
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: to crucify Joe Woods, but he called a week a

1006
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: strong safety blitz in the five or seven gap to

1007
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: the week side right where Stevenson was running. We had

1008
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: two guys rushing in the wrong gap, opening up that

1009
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: that void that whole for Stevenson the unfortunately get in

1010
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: there and take it to the house for a touchdown.

1011
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: That's actually a good defensive call to call it blitz

1012
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: right into that run. We had guys that on paper

1013
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: should have been in that gap, but as players, we

1014
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: didn't get ourselves in that correct position. That happened multiple

1015
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 1: times in the game. Um we were playing tight man

1016
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: coverage on on Hunter Henry's touchdown where Delphin had man

1017
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: coverage that took a quick peek in the backfield, lost

1018
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: this footing and it ends up having a guy wide open.

1019
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: That's not a bad defensive call. That's not a communication issue.

1020
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: That's been some of the two focal points that we've

1021
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: wanted to crucify players and coaches for so far this year.

1022
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: That was neither of those two there. So you know,

1023
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a situation now where when those type things

1024
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: start happening. Um, as much as I like to be creative,

1025
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: as much as I like to be complex, as much

1026
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 1: as I like to keep the other team guessing about

1027
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, sometimes when you have these type

1028
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: of issues, sometimes it's really better to go. And I

1029
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: think I'm already shot in Hunter right now, Let's go

1030
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: back to basics. Go back to basics, blocking, tackling, making

1031
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: sure we're in our right places and right assignments. And

1032
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: sometimes that comes with the simple the simplification of some

1033
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: of the defenses, and may be the simplification of some

1034
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: of the things in the offense. And offensively, UM, I

1035
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: think we're a top five offense so far this year.

1036
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: Our ability to run and physically take over games has

1037
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: been buying large better than we thought. So far this year.

1038
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to work out some of the kinks

1039
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: offensively while trying to somehow some way the old Jimmy

1040
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: Johnson line, get things more simplified than rectify. From a

1041
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: defensive perspective, it's essential for this week, all right, Bernie,

1042
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to talk about some some things that

1043
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: aren't pleasant because what you just mentioned right there is

1044
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: good defensive call. Guys not in the gaps they're supposed

1045
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: to be in touchdown, good defensive call. Even you go

1046
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: to the one to John new Smith and j Okay

1047
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: peeks in the backfield. He's got a man, a man

1048
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: lets him run free. Good defensive call. You wanted more

1049
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: man dealt. It's got Henry Man. He peeks in the backfield,

1050
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: lacks the eye discipline you have. John Johnson. Did you

1051
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: hear John Johnson's comments today? No? I did not. Okay,

1052
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: So John Johnson day today, in his in his time,

1053
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: basically said that guys are not say implied, guys are

1054
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,240
Speaker 1: not taking their jobs seriously enough. They can't wait. Well, Bernie,

1055
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: listen to it. Yeah, play just the one, the one

1056
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: about guys getting out of here. It has to be

1057
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: like a as a commitment. Thing Like when practice is

1058
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: over in our day is done, you can't just run

1059
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: out of the building and forget about, you know, your job.

1060
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: I think we need everyone in this building and really

1061
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: like be a cent in on on a task at hand.

1062
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,439
Speaker 1: And um, right now, I think we're at a place

1063
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: where that's not the case. So on whatever we gotta

1064
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: do to get as many guys, if not everyone you

1065
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: know and on the same page. I think that's what

1066
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: it is, because that's the only way thing is going

1067
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: to tame all right, Bertie number one? That makes me.

1068
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: I am That infuriates me, and I would imagine it

1069
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: would infuriate a lot of our fan base. I'm sure

1070
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: to infuriates our coaching staff, and it should infuriate the

1071
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room that are not doing that.

1072
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: When you hear that, when you see these repeated mistakes

1073
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: being made in terms of assignments, blown discipline, what does

1074
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: that say to you about this team and what needs

1075
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 1: to be done to fix that. I'm stunned at professionals

1076
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: who had a lot to play for six weeks in

1077
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: the season. This is what we're saying. But here's that's

1078
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: where we are. Well, I am I didn't hear. I

1079
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: didn't hear the the comments too good because of the

1080
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: connection and that. But from talking to you and listening

1081
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: and and I'll just tell you he's the guys are

1082
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: not a percent bought in. Guys can't wait to get

1083
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: out of here and practices it over. They are not

1084
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: a focus on the task at hand, and they need

1085
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: to be. We gotta figure out a way to make

1086
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: that happen. Well, that part about guys want to get

1087
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: out of here after practice, um is the part I heard.

1088
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: And to to your to your statement of I'm almost

1089
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: in disbelief right now and on a radio show to

1090
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: say you're speechless is probably not the best thing to

1091
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: increase ratings and stuff, but I absolutely am, and as

1092
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about that, and I'm not trying to say

1093
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: back when I played, but back when I played, Yeah,

1094
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: as players, we have I believed, and then me as

1095
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: a leader, I absolutely put had that responsibility. I believed

1096
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: on me. Yes, I would have loved some of my

1097
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: coaches in front office people to have set that culture

1098
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: already so that that unequivocally could never happen. But if

1099
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: that is happening, and I don't think I really ever

1100
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: sense that on some of the teams I was on,

1101
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,479
Speaker 1: but to a degree the one or two times that's

1102
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 1: vaguely flashed into my head. If if you didn't get

1103
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: a concussion and lose your brain from the game, I

1104
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: absolutely would from this. And there's there's nothing more that

1105
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: would drive me crazy. And then as a player, UM,

1106
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: I believe it's on us as players. You if you

1107
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: think that's happening, there is no doubt you have to

1108
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 1: go and address that to the exact players, to the guys,

1109
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: because you're affecting all of us and right now they

1110
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: care that little about what's going on. Um, as a player,

1111
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: I would, yeah, I would hope the coach would have

1112
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: done I would have hoped the front office would have

1113
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: done it. But as a player, I'd be all over that.

1114
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: And as the team, the good teams I was on,

1115
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: players police themselves and place the guys from doing that.

1116
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: And actually, and actually, there would be all kinds of

1117
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: ramifications for for players that you even considered that was

1118
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: a possibility. And that leads to the question, right, are

1119
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: we at a point where if this is going on,

1120
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: that maybe we need to sit down more talented players

1121
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: for guys who are perhaps less talented, but will actually

1122
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: just do their jobs and are taking it giving it

1123
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: the full commitment to send a message. Well, otherwise, what's

1124
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: the message, right? If you can go out there and

1125
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: play every snap and continue to blow assignments and blow coverages,

1126
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: but you keep playing, what incentive is there to get better? Right?

1127
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: And and um again, I like to look at my

1128
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: self as a player. I looked at like it from

1129
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: a player perspective. When we were players, we would say

1130
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: we played better when we were happy, we played better

1131
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: when we are comfortable, we played better when you were

1132
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: nice to me. None of that's true, Um, players, We

1133
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: do play better under anxiety, We play better under pressure.

1134
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: We played better when we need have more expectations. And

1135
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: too long winded to your point is almost by making

1136
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: an example, Um, you almost have to because guys, guys,

1137
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: if they're not studying, if they're not prepared, if they're

1138
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: not doing the job, they need to know that they're

1139
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: not gonna be out there. That tends to that tends

1140
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: to get pick up your level of play, because guys

1141
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: aren't gonna buckle and play worse. They're not gonna play

1142
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: worse if they think there's anxiety and that they're gonna

1143
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: increase their effort level, their intensity level. And that's actually

1144
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: some of the things I think that's missing that was

1145
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: missing on our fourth and one failure and on some

1146
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: of the run played, the run defense, some of the

1147
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: the intensity, Uh isn't there that that I'm not gonna

1148
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: lose at any cost type mentality, UM isn't there? And

1149
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: I think when you when you when you have apprehension

1150
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: to the possibility of losing your job, of not getting

1151
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: playing time, being demoted, of being embarrassed, UM, that is

1152
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: a motivator, and that that that that works more time

1153
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: than not. And we're showing that the conciliatory um nice

1154
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: understanding thing for players and coaches, that's that hasn't worked

1155
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: specifically the last few weeks. So I'm absolutely um thinking

1156
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: that that's something that that that should happen. I commend

1157
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: John Johnson for saying it, Bernie, because I don't know

1158
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: who else would. You are a natural leader, You're an

1159
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: alpha male. We talked about this on Monde of the show.

1160
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: I discussed this Our best players to no fault of

1161
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: their own, because I think it would be in authentic

1162
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: if they all of a sudden were guys like you

1163
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: were a leader with vocal leader follow me that type

1164
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: of guy. Our best players are relatively quiet. When you

1165
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: think about Nick Chubb or Amari Cooper on offense. Uh,

1166
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: if you think about Miles Garrett and Denzel Ward on defense.

1167
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: When Anthony Walker went out. In terms of somebody who's like, hey,

1168
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: follow me, it's your brave heart line, right, follow me

1169
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: to freedom, who's gonna be that guy on this team?

1170
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I commend John Johnson for saying it, because I don't

1171
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: know who else would. It's part of the makeup of

1172
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: our team, right In terms of where is that leadership

1173
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: coming from, Bernie, I think we miss a guy like

1174
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. Honestly, Yeah, Bo, well you gotta be Goose Plumb.

1175
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,919
Speaker 1: I'm following you to freedom right now on that great

1176
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: let's go Yeah. And and you had a couple of

1177
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: really astut points to is is you have to be

1178
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: genuine if you are that type of leader. So John Johnson,

1179
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I could see him having credibility with it. You hit

1180
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: it a perfect point, though, Um, Nick Chubb, Amari Cooper,

1181
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: they're quietly by example type guy that would probably not

1182
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: resonate as much with guys like that. That trying to

1183
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: be the yelling, vocal vocal type guy. Although strategically, if

1184
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 1: it's genuine when they do, if they're they're doing it,

1185
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: that does tend to tend to work. But veteran leadership

1186
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: missing like a Jarvis Landry absolutely is something that in

1187
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: these type times, those type personalities, those type of leaders

1188
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: those type of guys, with those that type of worth

1189
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: ethic absolutely needed. It resonates better on on on the guys, Bertie,

1190
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: what let's get out of here. On a on a

1191
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: positive note, it's Webster Slaughter's birthday today. Give me your

1192
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: favorite game for Webster in God saying happy birthday, WebStar,

1193
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I love you so much, and let me tell you

1194
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: that God has blessed me and you so much that

1195
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: there isn't just of them God. I'm thinking of the

1196
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: the Fate that take off to beat the Houston Oilers

1197
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 1: on weeks seventeen of the seasons, where the if we won,

1198
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: we go into the playoffs. If they won, we stayed home,

1199
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: and they went to the playoffs beating the Steelers and

1200
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: double and over time hitting an audible Fate down the

1201
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: left sideline, the Webster throwing back to back bombs of

1202
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: eight yards to him against Houston, against God. Jerry Clangle

1203
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: is great for mine and his career. Thank you. It's

1204
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful, buddy, Thank you for bringing me my spirits

1205
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: up today. What we can make me? One promise I

01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: one other thing if you ever do the guitar thing again.

1207
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Get the goggles, oh, goggles on. I was too motivated.

1208
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do. I thought I got

1209
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: my peat Townsend goaling. I was in the sash. We

1210

01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: brought you by Twisted Tea. Hard iced tea. Great stuff

1216
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: though there's nothing quite like tailgating touchdowns and twisted tea.

1217
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: It tastes just like real iced tea. You know why

1218
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: because it's made of real brewed tea, cool, refreshing five

1219
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: percent kick of alcohol. It's thirst down and gold twisted

1220
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: t hard iced tea. Keep it twisted. We will extend

1221
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: that play. Some of those other bites from John Johnson.

1222
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: I think it was welcome, I think it was needed

1223
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: and he said it. We'll have that for you coming

1224
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: up next Clevelan Brown's Daily fifty ESP in Cleveland, Cleveland

1231
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: to reserve a spot today. We played one of these

1232
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: in the uh the interview with Bernie there. So this

1233
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: is John Johnson from earlier today. Um, let me pull

1234
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: these up. All right, let's just let's replay the one

1235
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: we already played, Nick and and start there. In terms

1236
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: of guys running out on practice, yeah, it has to

1237
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: be like a as a commitment thing, Like when practice

1238
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: is over in our day is done, you can't just

1239
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: run out of the building if forget about you know

1240
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: your job. I think we need everyone in this building

1241
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: and really like be a d per cent in on

1242
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: on a task at hand. And um, right now I

1243
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: think we're at a place where that's the case. So

1244
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: on whatever we gotta do to get as many guys,

1245
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: if not everyone, you know, and on the same page.

1246
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is, because that's the only

1247
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: way thing is going to team. He continued with even

1248
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: an example of what to do, talked about maybe having

1249
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: guys over his at houses for film sessions. Let's have

1250
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: a listen. Yeah, that's one thing we talked about, you know,

1251
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: and we have a leadership group. Um, that may be

1252
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: something that we have to do to make just make

1253
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the environment like a little more loose than being at work. So, um,

1254
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of ways of skin of cat, and

1255
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, we've got to find a way that works

1256
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: best for us. Finally, he was asked, um, why do

1257
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: you think guys are running out of here? Here was

1258
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: his response. Yeah, I mean, I honestly don't know. But

1259
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: you could say we're a younger team. I mean, but

1260
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: that's no excuse. You know, this is a big time league, um,

1261
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: the top of the top, and like I said, it's

1262
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: not an excuse. So we've gotta find ways. However that

1263
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: maybe you know, the leaders on this team gotta get

1264
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: together and figure it out. But you got to change something.

1265
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: So this is coming from a guy who wore the

1266
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: green dot in the Rams organization that played for a

1267
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He was obviously not there last year. He

1268
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: was here, but but understands what it takes to play

1269
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: in this league at the very highest level. And if

1270
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: he's saying these things on October ninete, that's a pretty

1271
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: big problem. Yeah, it's a massive problem. And like I

1272
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: said earlier, it kind of pisces me off, and I

1273
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: would imagine that it pisses our fans off, and it

1274
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: should piss off the guys in the locker room that

1275
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: are not behaving this way. It should pass off their coaches, Like,

1276
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: this is the NFL. You are getting paid good money,

1277
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: this is your profession, and you really have to lock in.

1278
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean the great ones are probably locked in year

1279
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: round on honing their craft, but like, at the least,

1280
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: can you lock in for the season. Can you give

1281
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: me everything you've got for the season. Yeah, I think

1282
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: it's um. I talked about this on Monday and we

1283
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: asked about it with Bernie two. In terms of just

1284
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the makeup of this roster, Um, there aren't a lot

1285
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: of there's a bunch of alpha dudes in terms of athleticism,

1286
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: but there aren't a lot of alpha personalities. And that's

1287
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: a fine line, right, Like you can go overboard on

1288
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: your alpha and you have that in Detroit, um, and

1289
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: it's not working right. So that's the extreme of it.

1290
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: It feels like we're on the other side of that

1291
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: where I don't know, and I think part of it,

1292
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, you think about it if you were gonna

1293
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 1: point go back a year ago and say, like, um,

1294
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 1: aside from Baker, who else had that? O'Dell, I'm sorry,

1295
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Jarvis absolutely had that. Kareem Hunt had that a year ago,

1296
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: for sure that he and has had that since he's

1297
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 1: been here. But I think Kareem, you know, Kareem wanted

1298
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: a new contract and and so you know, how is

1299
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: that affecting all of it? And it's not fair to

1300
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: just put that all on the number two running back.

1301
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: It's not. But if you just think of like the

1302
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: guys who have that, like, hold you accountable, call you

1303
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: out on your stuff. John Johnson doing it on the

1304
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: defense is welcome. Um, I'm not sure who else has

1305
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: that the DNA. And then offensively, if it's Kareem, sounds

1306
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,439
Speaker 1: like Jacobe tried to do it, but there's a limit

1307
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: to what he can do. He's the backup quarterback, he's

1308
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: a placeholder for Shawn Watson, so there's only so much

1309
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: he can do in that role. Why is it necessary.

1310
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: It's necessary because not humans are made the same, that

1311
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: all are made the same, and they all view things differently.

1312
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Um No. I mean, if it were, you know, a

1313
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Madden game, it wouldn't be necessary. You would just go

1314
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: out and you do the things you're supposed to do.

1315
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: But everybody ticks differently, and it's probably one of those

1316
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: things in a personality test when you decide who you're

1317
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: going to draft. There's certain Yeah, for sure, um, you

1318
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: know delp it has that personality. But he's not playing

1319
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 1: at a level that I think would elicit him feeling

1320
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,520
Speaker 1: confident to give a response, John also sending that availability

1321
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: that Delpot called him on Sundays that's the worst I've

1322
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 1: ever played, So he's trying to find his way a

1323
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Looks like he's lacking confidence in what he's doing.

1324
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 1: That's been for much of the season, and I know

1325
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: he's accountable for it and he's not pleased about it.

1326
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: He mentioned he called John Johnson I know that that's

1327
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: how he feels about it. But and I appreciate that, right,

1328
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 1: That's better than a guy who's like whatever, But we

1329
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: got to clean it up, man. I mean, you go

1330
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 1: back and you look last year. I was looking, you know,

1331
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: when we beat the Ravens. We beat the Ravens one.

1332
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: We lost to him once, but not through no fault

1333
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 1: of the defense. The first game against them, we had

1334
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: four interceptions, John Johnson, Grant Denzel, Ronnie Harrison. Ronnie Harrison

1335
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: had a team I fourteen tackles and one pick in

1336
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: that game. And it's like, where's that. The second game,

1337
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 1: delt it at a team high eleven tackles and he had,

1338
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: as I said, the interception. So he played. It's like

1339
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: where where has some of this stuff gone? And for

1340
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: a guy like let's just take Ronnie for example, two

1341
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: years ago, Ronnie was one of our best defensive players.

1342
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: Last year was just a strange season for him and

1343
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: was not one that he played at the level that

1344
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: anybody I think expected. And he ends up, you know,

1345
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: missing at the end, he's banged up a little bit.

1346
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Former third round pick Alabama flashes of excellence, But you know,

1347
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: the first thing that drafted Jacksonville trade him to US.

1348
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,839
Speaker 1: He didn't get a lot offers and free agency obviously

1349
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: he came back this very late in the process. Super

1350
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: talented guy, incredible athlete. Yeah, you know, and I just

1351
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 1: think that we have a guys right now. And I

1352
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: hate to use word, but the fact is we aren't

1353
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: underachieving football team, and we have a lot of individuals

1354
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 1: who are under achieved. We are an underachieving defense. Put

1355
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 1: it on that. Up until Sunday, we were when I'm

1356
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: talking about yea, our offense had a bad game. Like

1357
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: teams good offense do it, it happens in the NFL,

1358
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: they have duds. We had a dud. We had were

1359
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: still top in almost every category offensively total offense seventh

1360
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: and scoring, first in rushing eleventh on third downs, third,

1361
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: in sacks allowed fourteenth and turnovers twelfth, in the red zone,

1362
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: second in big place twelveth in yards per play. We

1363
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: are an upper echelon offense with our backup quarterback. No,

1364
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: this is about the defense. There is in a single

1365
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: green on this sheet. There are three reds for a

1366
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,759
Speaker 1: team that was supposed to be you know, we're talking preseason.

1367
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: We want to be number one well, that requires not

1368
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: only talent, that requires incredib noble dedication. Like I know

1369
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: different people are wired differently, but I know you, I

1370
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: know me. Anything that we're tasked with, like, we're gonna

1371
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: put are all into it. And I think this is

1372
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: the highest stakes game there is in the world. You

1373
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: get paid a ton of money and the glory. Like

1374
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: people who win Super Bowls, they wear those rings around

1375
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: a lot for a reason because it meant something to them.

1376
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: They accomplish something, and I feel like we have an

1377
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: opportunity here to accomplish something. I think it's a very

1378
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: good football team that when Deshan gets back, considering what

1379
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: our offense has been before, de Sean that if we

1380
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: put ourselves in a position we have, we're a team

1381
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: that can get hot and be a team of great consequence.

1382
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: There's no reason why this team doesn't have the talent

1383
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: to go into if we get into the dance to

1384
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,639
Speaker 1: win the dance, we can. But like, we gotta get there,

1385
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: and it's gotta be important to It's gotta mean something.

1386
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: It's gotta be your lifestyle, Like for this portion of

1387
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 1: the year, your lifestyle is how can I be the

1388
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: best football player I can be How can I be

1389
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: sure that I'm the one who not only doesn't make

1390
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: the mistakes when it's my name is called or they

1391
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: come at me, it's I'm the one who makes the plays. Yeah,

1392
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean you think about if you think of the

1393
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: great ones, whether it's Ed Reid and the stories of

1394
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 1: his preparation, Peyton Manning and the stories of the pparationf

1395
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: and the stories of his preparation, Like, um, it's all there.

1396
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: There's an accountability to it, and um, you know that's

1397
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 1: for this team. It's going to have to come from somewhere.

1398
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: I love these comments from John Johnson, like somebody saying it.

1399
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I think it's great. Now will people follow him? I

1400
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: don't know. When you say these things can go one

1401
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: of two ways. Either people following they get in line,

1402
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: they go, you know what, I'm not enough, or they go,

1403
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: oh man, what's he know? I just keep doing what

1404
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm doing and the thing goes off the rails. And

1405
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge both those things are in play.

1406
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: So this is where we're at. It's a crossroads. It

1407
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: was a crossroad Sunday, We're still in it. Then go

1408
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:53,759
Speaker 1: one way or another. I don't think there's a middle.

1409
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: I don't look if we if we go to and oh,

1410
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: we're right back in it. We're a top the ape.

1411
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: That's right. We go oh into it's your goose is cooked.

1412
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: If you go one and one you can have probably

1413
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: still I can't think if it's one and one, it's

1414
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: got to look a certain way for sure, and you

1415
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: can't have what it's got to be in a different

1416
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: way one on one. Um. You know that's that's something

1417
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: that has to happen over the next two games and

1418
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: there it's gonna be very, very tough challenge. Talking about

01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 1: He's any harder, maybe a little easier to last week. Yeah,

1449
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: I think I think that's our myset. Um, you know,

1450
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: we're spending all our time focusing on the Ravens this weekend. Uh,

1451
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: not worrying about last week because it's over. Uh and

1452
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 1: um yeah, so we're excited about this one. Go to

1453
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 1: see any consistent issues the problem wise with with the

1454
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,560
Speaker 1: offense in the in these last three games, or is

1455
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: it like a different issue every week? Uh? No, I

1456
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: mean our focus is moving forward. Uh. You know, we

1457
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: we've addressed a lot of those issues internally, and um,

1458
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: so it's about moving forward. We got a big week

1459
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: ahead of us, and our all of our focus needs

1460
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 1: to be on that. Kobe guy said, stepped up and

1461
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: said something after the game, just what kind of makes

1462
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: you know? What made you do that? Uh? It was

1463
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: just one of those moments where, uh, something needed to

1464
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: be said by somebody, and Uh, as the quarterback, as

1465
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,640
Speaker 1: the leader of this team, I felt the liberty to

1466
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: do that. And uh yeah it sounded like a lot

1467
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: of guys appreciate it. You know, they really took it

1468
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: to heart. Because I mean, even more, what guys, are

1469
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: you know listening to what you're saying? I mean, I

1470
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 1: only do it because I hope people are listening because

1471
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 1: I need to hear myself, you know, so, Uh, hopefully

1472
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,560
Speaker 1: it translates, and I think it will. I think it has. Um,

1473
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,680
Speaker 1: guys understand the urgency that we need to play with

1474
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: and and focus with this week of preparation. And uh,

1475
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: that's the mindset in your career a couple of times

1476
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 1: so I was always prepared personally or is a team?

1477
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: How do you guard against your confidence being shaking when

1478
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: you go through three? Uh? The only ways up? So

1479
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the mindset to have. And uh, and

1480
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: that's the mindset we're taking. And listen, we've done a

1481
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff through that throughout this year, So

1482
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: not taking away from that, but it's just about this

1483
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 1: week and whatever we can do to find find a

1484
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: way for this week is is our mindset. And that's

1485
01:16:59,880 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 1: what keV has been preaching us, and and uh, that's

1486
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: what we're taking forward. When you talk talking about that

1487
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: coach game speech, you took ownership of your mistakes. You

1488
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: told us the other guys do the same thing. I'll

1489
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: keep that private. Uh. Some things, Uh, I don't need

1490
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: to be repeated. Obviously, I said that because I was

1491
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: the one speaking for myself and I won't speak for

1492
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: other people. So uh, other than that, I'll just keep

1493
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: those things internal. Got two division games coming up, so

1494
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the importance of those. And is

1495
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: it like a bit of a reset on the season

1496
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:38,719
Speaker 1: with free vision games? Uh? Yeah, I mean it's it's

1497
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 1: the score is zero zero right now for Sunday, So, um,

1498
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: that's what that's our mindset. Uh, you know, we only

1499
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: got one right now, so that's our focus is is

1500
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: taking care of this one and it and it starts today.

1501
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Is there more of an emphasis onion? Oh? For sure.

1502
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 1: For sure's definitely a different type of level of focus

1503
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: that that needs to be taken. Uh. You hope it's not,

1504
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: but it's the reality of it sometimes. And uh, like

1505
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: I said that this team deserves our full attention defense

1506
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: high right now, but they also have eight interceptions, with

1507
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: which I think is like tied for third in the NFL.

1508
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: So do you have to be super careful and wary

1509
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: about those guys going around? For sure? I mean I

1510
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 1: I've been told a long time ago that statu for losers,

1511
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: you know. And uh, when you turn on the film,

1512
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: you see a bunch of guys that are ball hawks

1513
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: guys playing at a high level and uh, you know,

1514
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 1: it's definitely another level of focus on execution and and

1515
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: focus on on my part and decision making and uh

1516
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: and put a team in the right position. They're all

1517
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 1: four of these loss collective days and team you guys

1518
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: being yourself, you just have a phase. I guess is

1519
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: there a little solace in that knowing that if you

1520
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: guys can eliminate the mistakes and just kind of do

1521
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do

1522
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: with you're gonna win games. Uh. Yeah, that's the whole

1523
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,640
Speaker 1: Thing's just at least let the other team beat us,

1524
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: you know. And the mindset is that, like you said,

1525
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 1: we have beating ourselves a lot in these games, but

1526
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: um is to to eliminate those and then just see

1527
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:16,799
Speaker 1: where the results uh lie. Um, and that starts today

1528
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: with our preparation and being uh and understanding the plan

1529
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: and how we're attacking this team and and going going forward. Yeah,

1530
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a honest it's another game

1531
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which is a treat in itself. Uh.

1532
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: First of a very good team. Uh, that's another reason

1533
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: versus division opponent another reason, uh, needing to win as another.

1534
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, so it's a it's a bunch of reasons

1535
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 1: why we need to be ready to go this week.

1536
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: And uh, I think the guys understand that a couple

1537
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: of your downfield just seemed like the time interception, the

1538
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: ball to the job down the sideline. Um, when you

1539
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: watch call, yeah he stopped me, kind of came back

1540
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: for it. Um, just when you watch those on the film,

1541
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: I'm not der eyes like open really open up when

1542
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: you see like what could have been on those plays. Uh, yeah,

1543
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: for sure because a lot of those are or like

1544
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: obviously the pick was too early, you know it was,

1545
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: it was no need for that. Uh. So yeah, getting

1546
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: better this week you don't have to face him and

1547
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,639
Speaker 1: you don't have to tack him starting sometimes by what Martin,

1548
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 1: they're right there and given it, you're in that same

1549
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 1: situation a lot of times to see what he says, Yeah,

1550
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: the Browns are in a better place without me tackling him.

1551
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: So that's for sure. Uh, definitely. I Mean I grew

1552
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 1: up knowing about him obviously because it's from like some

1553
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: of the similar neighborhood not neighborhood, but city surround the city. Uh,

1554
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: and obviously played against some college and and seeing how

1555
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,600
Speaker 1: he's elevated his game every year. Uh, you know, the

1556
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 1: things that he's done is it's special. I mean, nobody

1557
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: in this league can do what he does. Uh So

1558
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: it's definitely uh a fan to watch is nice, but

1559
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: hopefully not this week. Did you did you wonder if

1560
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: it would translating? Uh? No, because he was just doing

1561
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 1: it at such a high level. I mean, the same

1562
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: players in college come to the NFL, you know, so, um,

1563
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: the same guy that couldn't tackle him in college can't

1564
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: tackle him now. So Uh. I mean it's obviously a

1565
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch him play, and he makes

1566
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: a lot of plays and some things that you just

1567
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: can't prepare for. Uh and uh that's what makes them

1568
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: unique and special. And um, like I said, being from

1569
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: South Florida, always knowing about him and seeing him play

1570
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: and uh so yeah, you guys, he did a number

1571
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,559
Speaker 1: on us. For sure, I won't hopefully none of my

1572
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: ex teammates it watching this, but yeah, he definitely did something.

1573
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: What did you see from the Ravens runs going up

1574
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: against I think I think they're stout. I think they're

1575
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 1: very very stout group. They got a lot of a

1576
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 1: lot of veteran guys in that front. Obviously some younger

1577
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: guys too, but I think their leadership comes from their

1578
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: older guys, guys that have played a lot of football,

1579
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: and and I think those guys um play well and

1580
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: unit's just together and U and not just their front

1581
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: but their backers and those guys and how those how

1582
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: their safeties play off of it. I think they do

1583
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: well when they're playing together, for sure. Can you when

1584
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: you watch film they obviously have respect for all of

1585
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: your opponents, but can you see if a team is

1586
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: vulnerable when you're like watching them on the film and

1587
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: maybe they've had a couple of games where they, like

1588
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: you guys you know, struggles to Uh yeah, I mean

1589
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 1: I would say you definitely you pick up on things

1590
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: that you want to exploit when you go out in place.

1591
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: So I won't tell you what I think that those are,

1592
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: but uh, but definitely, I think but I think they honestly,

1593
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: I think they're really good defense. Um. You know, it's

1594
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: very little vulnerability in that group because of the guys

1595
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:47,839
Speaker 1: that they have playing that have played a lot of football,

1596
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: that have been in that system for a while and

1597
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: play with each other, so they obviously understand each other

1598
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: in the mindset of their defense. So it's gonna be

1599
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,799
Speaker 1: a tough test since the end beginning of the season started.

1600
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Just curious, when when did you kind of give up

1601
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: your food dreams? When when six eight point guards were

1602
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: doing what I was doing? I gave that up a

1603
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: long time ago. Oh yeah, for sure, for sure, I'll watch.

1604
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: He's a dang likable he is, and he's played really great.

1605
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 1: Last week obviously was not the best of it, but

1606
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 1: but by and large, he's been very, very good in

1607
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 1: the role that he is in. Um you see this, uh,

1608
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: the social media post from the Tennessee Titans. You showed

1609
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: me the oiler's logo. I don't get add thing to do? Right?

1610
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 1: Are they wearing those uniforms? It feels like they're teasing

1611
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to wear those uniforms. Can they they

1612
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 1: can they own them? It's it's probably I think we

1613
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: were the first to do it. Gibby could probably answer that,

1614
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: but I think we were the first to say, actually,

1615
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep the Browns here. Intellectual property from Cleveland

1616
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: stays here. Others have followed, like the Sonics, followed this model.

1617
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: So like Sean Camp and all of that that belongs

1618
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: to Seattle, it does not belong to Oklahoma City, but

1619
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee putting up the Oiler's logo, Like, who in tenna

1620
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 1: See wants to see that? I mean, you've been the

1621
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Titans for a long time. They're not playing Houston, they're

1622
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 1: playing in Indie right, Like they've had success, They've been

1623
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl with the Titans. They've been the

1624
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: Titans for a long time. It's just weird to me

1625
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: that you would, I don't know who you're I would

1626
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: think you're alienating your own Tennessee fans from Nashville at

1627
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: the expense of trolling Houston. They're gorgeous. Yeah it should

1628
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: be the Houston Oilers should wear them. Showing me is

1629
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: that the website for the Titans the header on the

1630
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: Titans is Oilers slash Titans Homecoming. Oh, they're probably bringing

1631
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: like Oilers fans to Nashville or Oilers plays. What does

1632
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: anybody from Nashville care about? Like sent that that the

1633
01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: team beautiful. It's it's one of the big flaws in

1634
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:02,839
Speaker 1: American of sports that that we would take the history

1635
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,640
Speaker 1: away from cities like thank God, we did it right.

1636
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if we were the Cleveland Guitars and

1637
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 1: we were and you're on Twitter and all of a

1638
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,440
Speaker 1: sudden you see that the Baltimore Ravens are going homecoming

1639
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: and it's a brown They're gonna wear the Browns un

1640
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna honor Bernie at halftime, come home to Baltimore.

1641
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: What we need to figure out more of what this is.

1642
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: It's an incredible anger towards the Adams family, towards the

1643
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 1: city of Houston for not getting them a new dome

1644
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: in a new stadium. That's really what it comes down to.

1645
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: And they're very petty about it, to the point they

1646
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: won't even let them have that blue, Like they own

1647
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: that specific shade of blue and they won't let them

1648
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: even use it. And you could just use another baby blue, sure,

1649
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: but it feels like it's contentious, like Jerry Jones and

1650
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, Well, I want I that's worth fifteen minutes.

1651
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: So I didn't want to get into it right now

1652
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 1: because it's it's amazing, So I really wanted There's a

1653
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: lot going on there that I want to get into. Yeah,

1654
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,679
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun, uh like that's an easy

1655
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: we can do fifteen on that in our sleep. That

1656
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: is um. But yeah, I don't get it. Not not

1657
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 1: a good look out of out of them. I don't

1658
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 1: know who it's appealing to. Who who is looking forward

1659
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: to that? So much more to come. You listen to

1660
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:20,240
