Speaker 1: And we welcome you inside our homes. Soon, Gribble, we

Speaker 1: best podcast available on Jason Gibbs alongside Andrew Gribble. We

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: are getting you set for training camp, which will come

00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: your way on Friday. We'll start the podcast series off

00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: today and we'll be here at the end of every

7
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: training camp practice recapping what happened, the movers, the shakers,

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: what we need to see more of as this team

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: works towards September and the opener in Baltimore. Gribbs, I

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed a few weeks off a little bit

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: of craziness in your world, a little bit of craziness

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: and all of our worlds. But here we go. Time

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: to put the pads on. Time to find out what

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: this football team is going to look like as we

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: get ready for it. Yeah, it's just exciting. I mean,

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: we've been I I know you and I have been

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: in the office parking lot a few times over the

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: past few weeks, but I'll be excited just to to

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: get back to where we can watch the football team

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: in what I think over the last few years, you

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: and I probably have taken for granted the opportunity to

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: watch football practice, and we've even acknowledged some boredom during

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: the dog days of training camp and and now I

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: know no such chatter this year. I mean relishing every

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: opportunity we get to be outside watching football and then

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: getting ready for the season. Yeah, it is. Uh, it

27
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: has been an amazing offseason. A lot of adversity, we've

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: been able to overcome it, and there are a lot

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: of protocols in place. Uh. We will be nowhere near

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: the players, the coaches, the trainers, and the front line

31
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: day to day football team portion of this organization, but

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: we will bring you all the developments because we will

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: get a chance to be inside the ropes and get

34
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a chance to watch these guys as they get ready.

35
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: And credit to Joe Sheehan and all the fine people

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: at University Hospitals and the people inside are building. Uh,

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Schrodeck, Chris Cola, just amazing job getting this facility

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: ready for the season and for training camp. For us

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: to be able to even have training camp starting on Friday. Yeah,

40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean they've gone above and beyond and and you know,

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: not to take this in a negative direction, but it's

42
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: almost like seeing what we've seen and heard to just

43
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: get the Browns and the rest of the NFL the

44
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: best possible chance of managing this season. It's why it

45
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise you a little bit the college is having

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: a tough time getting off the ground, and why the

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Big Ten impact all of made their decisions in that way.

48
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just this is above and beyond what

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: any other even other leagues are able to do to

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: to get to get things in as safe as possible.

51
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: When you have this many guys and and and all

52
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: spread out throughout the country, I mean, you've got to

53
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: you've got to take every measure possible. And from what

54
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: we've seen, uh, that's that's exactly what the Brons has done,

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: and that's what you're seeing around the rest of the NFL.

56
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Uh And and why it's every day it's gonna be

57
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. Let's let's keep these guys healthy and and

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: really the whole building healthy and ready to go so

59
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: you get this season completed, all right, So let's get

60
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: right down to it. As we get ready for training

61
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: camp on Friday afternoon about to thirty, the guys will

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: hit the football field. Gribbs, what are your expectations of

63
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: this of these next three weeks, because really that's what

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: it is. It's three three and a half weeks, and

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: it will go right up through Labor Day weekend and

66
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekends a week later than it normally has

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: been in the past. So we'll end up with cutdowns

68
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: on Saturday and a few more on Sunday, and maybe

69
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: some addition is on Sunday, and then Monday will get

70
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: ready for the Baltimore Ravens. What are your expectations as

71
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: this camp. I guess you just have to look at

72
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the schedule a little bit differently. The way I look

73
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: at it is that it's like you're doing training camp,

74
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: because I think this is once we start Friday, this

75
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: is gonna look like what we think of training camp.

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: But really you're just gonna knock out. You're gonna go

77
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: through that grueling part, those fifteen or so practices, and

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: instead of then starting a four week schedule of preseason,

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: you're just jumping right into the opener. I mean, I

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: think that's the difference. So you know, I'll look at

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: you know, I think what Bill Belichick said over at

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, this is what college teams do every year

83
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: and you know, college teams have a lot more on

84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: the line in Week one than NFL teams do. NFL

85
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: teams can lose Week one. College team, you lose Week one,

86
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: you got your your playing from behind the rest of

87
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 1: the way if you want to compete for a national title.

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: So I think that this hand be done. It's just

89
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna be different. And and really the only way I

90
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: can compare is saying this is gonna look like what

91
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: a college preseason looks like, and you're you're just gonna

92
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: have to maximize your opportunities to get out there and

93
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: make sure everyone's on it on the same page. And

94
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: I really think that we're going to see, especially with

95
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: the Browns, probably an evolving playbook as the season goes on,

96
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: and evolving defensive looks, involving offensive books, because there's only

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: so much you can install over this this amount of time.

98
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: The one positive is you're not having to not that

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of game planning that goes on in

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: preseason football games, but you don't have to mess with

101
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: those preseason games. You can immediately put all of your

102
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: attention on September and that game in Baltimore. Yeah, you're

103
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: gonna have much more like real practices, uh, closer to

104
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: the season than you would normally in a in a

105
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: training camp, and it's the hardcore kind of practices kind

106
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: of come to the end, to an end, usually around

107
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the midpoint of August, I would say during a normal

108
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: training camp. Now, I would imagine they're going to go

109
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: right up until near the end of the month before

110
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: then you have to cut down your rosters on September five.

111
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: Cutdowns are a little different this year too, because first off,

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: you've got ten less players to deal with, uh, And secondly,

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: you've got four more is it four moreor six more

114
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: practice squats spots uh to account for, And so it's

115
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: it's you've got less decisions to make, but less game

116
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: footage or or even game reps really none of them

117
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: to to decide on. So that's that's what's gonna make

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: roster trimming a little bit maybe more difficult. But also

119
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: you're you're end up cutting far less guys this year. Yeah,

120
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to keep some guys a few

121
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: more players than you would have in the past. Uh.

122
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: The one universal thing that you're hearing from coaches from

123
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: our g M Andrew Berry from the veterans. The rookies

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: are at a clear disadvantage as this training camp gets going. Uh,

125
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: They've got to make up a lot of own They've

126
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: got to make up a lot of ground fast. And

127
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: for guys like Jedderick Wills and maybe even Grant Delpit

128
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: and a couple other players, there's some expectations and guys

129
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately are gonna have to get up to speed as

130
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, the guys that

131
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: are really put behind the eight ball eight ball or

132
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: the undrafted free agents. I mean, if if you, it's

133
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: always a great story when one of these undrafted free

134
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: agents makes the roster. I mean, it's gonna be an

135
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: incredible story. I think this year for some of these guys.

136
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a challenge. I mean you've already

137
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: seen that group kind of whittled down already as as

138
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: the rosters went from nine to eighty. Uh, and it's

139
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: just gonna be so tough. I mean, it's tough for

140
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: these guys every year to to really find one or

141
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: two spots on the roster. This year, with all the

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: moves the Brown has made in the off season, adding

143
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: depth at at a lot of positions. It's gonna be

144
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: a challenge. I still wouldn't rule it out, but I

145
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: think that for those undrafted rookies, I mean, this is

146
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: this is as big of a challenge as it gets,

147
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: and it's unfortunate. I mean, things will get back to

148
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: normal event actually, and I think if you're good enough,

149
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna hang around and get some opportunities, especially now

150
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: that they're loosening the tryout rules. I think that these

151
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: guys will have some chances. It's just just not normal

152
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: circumstances right now. What is the biggest challenge this team

153
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: faces over the next three and a half plus weeks.

154
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I think it's installing this offense and really get it

155
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: clicking and get get it on the same page, because

156
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I think that with this type of offense, I think

157
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: it's the chemistry and this the repetition of doing it

158
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: over and over again that's gonna make it so important.

159
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: And I think right now, you appear to be the

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: team appears to be pretty healthy. Jarvis Landry is not

161
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: on pupp anymore, But I just do wonder what kind

162
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: of uh activity we're going to see up from him

163
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: early on in practice. I imagine they're gonna work him

164
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: in as gradually as possible, but you want all your

165
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: players out there as much as possible and really kind

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: of getting on the same page offensively, because this is

167
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a brand new offense, a lot of the same players,

168
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: but new system, and you're just opportunities of doing it

169
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: on the field have been so limited that you just

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: have to make the most of every snappy get out there.

171
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Position battle wise on the defensive side of the football,

172
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: linebacker or safety, what's the position battle that intrigues you

173
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: the most. I think it's a linebacker because I I

174
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: really I don't. I have a good hunch on it.

175
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of guys, but I just I think

176
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: it's wide open. I just don't think there's and I

177
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: don't even know where I'm locking guys into certain spots.

178
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: That's something I just need to see with my own eyes.

179
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: I think we all feel good about Mac Wilson. You

180
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: feel good about b. J. Goodson and the experience he

181
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: has and what he can bring. But outside of that,

182
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering where does Jacob Phillips fit and whereas

183
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: the only taki taki fit on a guy like Willie

184
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Harvey who had a good camp last year and then

185
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: got hurt during the Ravens game Week four and was

186
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: out for the season. I mean, there's there's some talented

187
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: players there, it's just that they're they haven't had a

188
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: ton of production, and I think that our opportunities to produce.

189
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: And you have a new linebackers coach, and you you

190
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: defense a coordinator, so I think it's wide open. I mean,

191
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: it took a new defensive coordinator to really identify what

192
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Joe Schobert did well a few years ago. And I

193
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: think that that's where you can't really even lock any

194
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: of these guys into those spots until we see it

195
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: on the field. With Joe Woods running the show on defense. Yeah,

196
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I think Joe Woods has gotten a lot of positive

197
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: feedback early on from some of the veterans. I know

198
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Denzel Award was very excited. Larry Ogan Joebi, who we

199
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: talked to for the Browns preview show, also pretty fired

200
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: up to get out there and play and finally take

201
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: this new scheme to the football field. Uh, give me

202
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: three players that you are looking most forward to watching, Uh,

203
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: in this new coaching scheme and and new system, both

204
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively, I'm gonna go with a pretty obvious one,

205
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: and I think it's I'm one of the two obvious ones.

206
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to. First off, Baker Mayfield and seeing

207
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: what can change from from last year and seeing what

208
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: is different about what Stefanski's asking him to do as

209
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: compared to what he was asked to do last year.

210
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: I just think he is the He is everything for

211
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: this team right now. And where you go and the

212
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: faster that Baker Mayfield picks up on this offense and

213
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: picks up where he left off from two thousand and eighteen,

214
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that's where that's how that will dictate where you go

215
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: this year. Secondly, I'm I'm picking another superstar name here.

216
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm picking Odell Beckham. I mean I've I've seen

217
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: We've seen the snippets on our social media accounts. I mean,

218
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: this guy looks healthy. We don't think he was really

219
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: healthy fully at all last season when he was dealing

220
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: with that injury in the preseason. He was limited in

221
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: training camp, and I think we saw the trickle down

222
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: effect that had on the rest of the season. I

223
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: just want to see an Odell Beckham Jr. That is,

224
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: they're locked in from day one healthy and and really

225
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: picking up this offense and seeing if he can really

226
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: become if he can even go beyond the kind of

227
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: production that Stefan Diggs had in Minnesota last year, being

228
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of these this this two headed monster with him

229
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: in Jarvis Lander. I'm excited to see that, and I

230
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: think defensively, I guess I'll go with the rookie with

231
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: Grant Delpat, I just want to see where he's gonna play,

232
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: and I think that there's he's I think he's clearly

233
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a role in this team, a pretty significant one.

234
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: But where do they use him from a versatility standpoint?

235
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Does he ultimately end up being this team's best option

236
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: in the slot? I mean, do you see that as

237
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: a potential firm? I mean, does he line up closer

238
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: to the balls and we're of a center fielder. I

239
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: truly don't know. I mean, we'd have a much better

240
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: sense if we'd watched O T A s, but those

241
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: didn't happen. So it's all gonna be kind of real

242
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: new and surprising for us, new coaching staff, new players,

243
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: and us watching our first practice on Friday. Alright, bigger

244
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: concern depth at wide receiver or depth at offensive line.

245
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'll go with wide receiver because

246
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: I still think you only need a couple guys. And

247
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: obviously it was not great to lose three guards in

248
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: a span of a few days opt outs, but I

249
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: think that you're still have some players in place as

250
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: your potential reserves on this team that can play a

251
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: lot of spots, and I think you're fine. I think

252
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: Chris Hubbard and Nick Harris are some truly valuable projected

253
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: backup lineman for you, and I think you'll probably end

254
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: up keeping it. Maybe one or two more than that,

255
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: but that's pretty good. I like that Hubbard can play tackle,

256
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: you probably play guard for you. Harris can play center,

257
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: you can play guard. I think that if Kendall Lamb

258
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: is healthy also and you can keep him an upside guy,

259
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: and Alex Taylor might be an option to keep as

260
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: a as a tackle, I'm okay with the offensive line

261
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver. It's just I mean, you just think there's

262
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: some good players in that wide receiver room. They're just

263
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: there's no replicas of Jervis Land or no Beckham in

264
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: that room, and there's just that's just not what you have.

265
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: And I think It's a lot of guys that that

266
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: we like from a talent standpoint, but it's just you

267
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: need to see every everyday production. I think Damian Ratley

268
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: shown it in flashes. Taywan Taylor had some played some

269
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: good football for the Titans. Uh. And I think Donovan

270
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: People's Jones. We all like the upside that he brings,

271
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: but he's a rookie and I think that that's gonna

272
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: make it tough. So I think finding someone who could

273
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: step in and replicate what Jervis lanor Nodell Beckham Jr.

274
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Do that's gonna be really tough. Yeah, I think that's

275
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: going to be a very big challenge on the offensive

276
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: side because you know, we we talked about all of

277
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: those playmakers right at the top of the list, but

278
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: god forbid one of those guys goes down. Depth wise,

279
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: I think I think you're okay in the tight end room.

280
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: I think running backs are serviceable. Wide receivers really the

281
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: big unknown and it's more of a testament of how

282
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: good your two wide receivers are. I mean, you're yes,

283
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: those guys are really good, and I think that that's

284
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: that's where it gets hard to replace. And I just

285
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: think It's interesting because when you look at what Minnesota

286
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: did last year, feeling got hurt and they really didn't

287
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: have anyone fill in the production. They just found it elsewhere.

288
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: They ran the ball more, they got some of them,

289
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: they got their other running backs, involves a little bit more,

290
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: and Stefan Digs just got a lot more passes. And

291
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: I think that's they really didn't have an option behind

292
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: those two guys, And I think that might be where

293
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: Stefanski in the event one of those guys can't play,

294
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: he can show his flexibility and maybe use three tight

295
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: ends and more you use use cream hunt more on

296
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: the outside. So I think you're okay. But I just

297
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: I think even with losing those guards, I think I

298
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: think I'm I think the Browns are gonna be all

299
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: right at that spot. I would have liked someone like

300
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: white Teller to have a little bit more competition at

301
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: that spot to kind of bring the best out of him.

302
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: But I think it'll be interesting to see who they're

303
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: gonna pair up against him now when really the top

304
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: guys that you thought we're gonna compete against him are

305
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: are no longer playing this year, all right. So that

306
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: leads me to my next question and that and that's

307
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Bill callahan best off season addition from a coaching standpoint

308
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: on a staff that's not a coordinator or the head

309
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: coach for that matter, Is he best? I think so,

310
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: because you're you're dealing with a couple of big things

311
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: to figure out, and I think none is bigger than

312
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: Jendrick will Is going to left tackle. I think that

313
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: his his ability to pick up that position is gonna

314
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: dictate a lot of what this team can do this year.

315
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: And I think the team's confident in what he can do.

316
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: It's just you would have liked to have more of

317
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: a normal off season in him doing this. But you

318
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: drafted him knowing that this was gonna be a transition

319
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: he was gonna make. You drafted him knowing he's probably

320
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna start his rookie year. Uh So, I think there's

321
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: a belief there and I think that they really like

322
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: that that Bill Callahan is working with him. He's done

323
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: this transition before with with a lot of players. Jendrick Walls,

324
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: as Joe Thomas has mentioned, He's gonna be a lot

325
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: better player week seven than he's gonna be Week one,

326
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: and a lot better player week four team than weeks seven,

327
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: So it's just you're gonna have to deal with the

328
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: growing pains. Uh. And I think that the goal FORER.

329
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: Bill Callahan is gonna be getting Jendrick Wills in the

330
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: best possible position to keep you as a steady offensive

331
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: line week one when you're going up against Baltimore No One.

332
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: No easy task, to say the least on the defensive

333
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: side of the football. Defensive line. I know we talked

334
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: about it at the end of the office the virtual offseason,

335
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: but the number of additions now Andrew Billings opting out hurts.

336
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: It does hurt a little bit on the inside. But

337
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: this is a very deep defensive line room now a

338
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: lot deeper, and you feel a lot better about it

339
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: going into camp this year than maybe maybe we were

340
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: a little over confident a year ago with how good

341
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: the defensive line room was in our Yeah, I think

342
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: it's I think it's solid, and I think that that

343
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: that I do agree the buildings lost that that that's

344
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the biggest one of your opt outs, that that kind

345
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: of it hurts what you may be planned to do

346
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: in that area of the field. But I think that

347
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: a player that has just kind of hung around these

348
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: last couple of years that the team really seems like

349
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: is Daniel ee Quality, who now has a much better

350
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: shot of having a role on this year's defensive line.

351
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: I think you're okay there, and I think the key

352
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: player is the guy you mentioned earlier, Larry Ogan Job.

353
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: I mean, can he really take his game to to

354
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: another level? He he really seems to play at his

355
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: best when Miles is out there on the field. I

356
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: think that when they're all healthy and together. We only

357
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: saw it a few games last year when all those

358
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: guys seemingly had it going at the same time, and

359
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: they look pretty good doing it. There were I think

360
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: the Jets game was was a standout performance. I thought

361
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Week four against Baltimore, as as good as the offense was,

362
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: the defensive line was great in that game. You had

363
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: backups even making big plays. So I think that the

364
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: depth is going to be key for that group. But

365
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: ultimately it's on those four starters because those are the guys.

366
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean, three of those four guys making big money,

367
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: big salaries. I mean, these are Pro Bowl players. I

368
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: mean that's got to be the strength of your defense.

369
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: And if they hit the level that they can hit,

370
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: it makes it so much easier on the back seven,

371
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: which is areas where there's much more significant question marks.

372
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: All right, so that back seven, that that that secondary room,

373
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: it's been banged up. We talked a little bit about

374
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: the safeties we have talk linebackers at corner. I think

375
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: you feel pretty good about where you are going into camp.

376
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you can never have enough corners, as

377
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: we learned a couple of years ago when we had

378
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: I think we were on our seventh corner three weeks

379
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: in and we were out in Oakland. But um, it's

380
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: one of those situations where I think you like that

381
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: part of the defense going into this camp. Yeah, I

382
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: think the biggest question for me is who are getting

383
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: Who are your options at Nicol outside of Kevin Johnson?

384
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: I think that's that he he clearly is the guy

385
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: that stands out as the top option there. But you

386
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: know you've got Gredian Denzel on the outside. You brought

387
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: in Kevin Johnson. Terrence Mitchell has been traditionally an outside corner.

388
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: Haven't seen him much in the slot either. And then

389
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: you imagine Tavira Thomas, with how good he is on

390
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: special teams, that he's going to find a spot on

391
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: this roster as well. So I'm wondering, if you're gonna

392
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: add one more corner, who's the one that sticks. Is

393
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: is it a guy like M. J. Stewart that you

394
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: claimed off waivers a couple of days ago, former second

395
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: round pick, clearly a lot of talent there. Or is

396
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: it as an undrafted player like a J. Green. Is

397
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: he someone that can play in the slot. Can he

398
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: can he view some versatility? I think versatility is going

399
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: to be the key for whoever emerges as that last

400
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: option in the cornerback room. But you feel pretty good

401
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: with those guys up top, but it's the secondary is

402
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: always fickle with injuries. I mean, these these are the

403
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: guys that are most prone to be hurt, like injuring

404
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: hamstrings and and and dealing with with with injuries that

405
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: are going to dog them for a couple of weeks

406
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: because if they're not at a percent that they're gonna

407
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: get burned on every play, so that their health is vital.

408
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: So you've got to have options. And I think, you know,

409
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, I thought John Dorsey did

410
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: a really good job just adding as much depth as

411
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: possible to that position, and and wound up needing every

412
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: bit of it. I mean, because it's just so hard

413
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: for all those guys to stay healthy for for sixteen

414
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: games at a time. When was the last time we

415
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a competition at kicker or putter. I was

416
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: talking about that with with someone a couple weeks Clo.

417
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: I was just like, usually, I mean, even even in

418
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: some years where you you assume the starters is locked in,

419
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: you still bring in a camp guy to compete with him.

420
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: I think Cold quite a couple of years ago was

421
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: competing with that guy from Miami, was it, uh Vogel? Yeah, yeah,

422
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: I mean you've brought in some some kickers in the past. Now,

423
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's all on Cybert and Gillen to

424
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of create their own competition because when your roster's

425
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: constraint to eight, I mean, this is kind of going

426
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: back to the ages where you had that cut down

427
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: to seventy five. You usually end up figuring out your

428
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: kicker and punter competition when you cut down to seventy five.

429
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: So it's just so hard to keep extra extra guys

430
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: at both kicker and punter when your rosters at eight.

431
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be on them to to make

432
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: themselves better. And I think that honestly, when you look

433
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: back at last year, it was when the competition was

434
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: over that we saw the best version of Austin Cyber.

435
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: You know. It was almost like there was times in

436
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: camp where he was pressing in that competition, but once

437
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: you got into the season, he was solid. Uh. And

438
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: I think Jamie Gillan is just so unfazed by anything

439
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: that everything, Like, he's he's his own He's his own guy.

440
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna be all right in motivating

441
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: himself and and and getting the best at him. And

442
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: I just think the Browns really believe in these guys.

443
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they took a big chance going rookie rookie

444
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: last year and it paid off. I think they got

445
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: what they wanted out of him, and I think that

446
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: they believe both can be much better, which could be

447
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: great for this team moving forward because I I I

448
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: personally am enjoying that there's not going to be a competition.

449
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that because the field goal competition, I think

450
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: it always is tough, it can be stress inducing, and

451
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: it's either it always goes one way. Either they all

452
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: make them and you're like, well, who's gonna Who's gonna

453
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: make the seam or they all don't make them, and

454
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: you're like, what do we do here? So I think

455
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: that that I'm fine with it, and I just I

456
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: just hope for for Cyber. I wonder, how does it

457
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: change going into a stadium with less people. We know

458
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a full stadium. We will

459
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: I want to see what what what is kicking in

460
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: like a you know, partially full empty? How does that?

461
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: How does that affect the kicker because he's It's almost

462
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: like when you go to a new NBA gym, you

463
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: gotta get used to your background, your settings. Let me

464
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see how he adjusted it. Yeah, I think

465
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: it will be interesting with the stadium, depending on how

466
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: that looks and what that looks like. What's the big

467
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: All right? So Kevin Stefanski has got his guys in,

468
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: he's got everything set up. Time to go to camp.

469
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna see how this all plays out with COVID

470
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: and UM all the virtual stuffs in the back, except

471
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: you know they are in meetings virtually every day. Um,

472
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: what's his biggest challenge here over these next three weeks? Man?

473
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think there's a lot on his plate.

474
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's just it's keeping the guys.

475
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: I think the players have a sense of buying at

476
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: this point. They know it's on them to stay, stay healthy,

477
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: stay responsible, everything like that. I just I think it's

478
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: just a matter of keeping that sense of buy in

479
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: from all your guys, because as we've learned through other sports,

480
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what is going to get you

481
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: through the season the best possible way as the healthier

482
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: you staid. I just think it's it's just a matter

483
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: of hammering at home every single day that this is

484
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: to do that, to make the decision to to behave responsibly,

485
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: to be as safe as possible. It's the most it's

486
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: the best thing these guys can do for the team.

487
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: I think you don't want to lose your practice time,

488
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: you don't want to have any situations where you're missing

489
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: key guys, you don't want to worry about quarantining of

490
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: a large group of people. I think that is that

491
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: is the big task for every coach around the league

492
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: right now, and I think it's it's it's something I

493
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: think the Brons have handled very well so far, and

494
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where it's every It

495
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: is truly an everyday challenge. You only play the Ravens

496
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: twice a year, You're playing Covid every day for the

497
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: rest for this season. And I think that that's you

498
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: just have to do what is absolutely best. And it

499
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: takes hunt over a hundred people that have access us

500
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: to this building to truly buy into that to give

501
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: you the best possible chance to have the healthiest roster

502
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: from start to finish this season. It it will all

503
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see how this all plays out. Scribbs.

504
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: Final thoughts things you're looking forward to. Um, I mean,

505
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be strange. We're on a sideline, but we

506
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: got to maintain social distance, and uh we're not really

507
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline. We're gonna be a little further back.

508
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: But um, I'm getting used to You get to leave

509
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: the panic room. I get to leave my house. That

510
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: will be kind of fun, but uh, there there's a

511
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: lot of restrictions and a lot of things. I remember

512
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: thinking a couple of months ago, I was like, man,

513
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough if they ask us to wear

514
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: master during training camp, and I'm like, I don't care.

515
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: I'll throw on a mask. I can last for hours

516
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: out there. I'll be totally fine. I mean, I'm just

517
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: ready to I mean, I'm just thrilled to have the

518
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to watch. I mean, this is it's it's obviously

519
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a much smaller crowd. It's a shame that.

520
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: It's just it's the reality. You can't bring fans into

521
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: this situation. But obviously lots of ourtunities for fans to

522
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: engage with Browns live and just being a part of it.

523
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: So I feel privileged to have the opportunity to be

524
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: able to watch this, and I'm excited about that and

525
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: just getting an opportunity to see this team kind of

526
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: come together and truly a year that will live in infamy.

527
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is, this is unprecedented in every way

528
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: we act, and I just hope, hope that this is

529
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: the only time we have to do this. That's the

530
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: training camp. Let's hope a year from now we're back

531
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: to normal. We've got three thousand fans in the building,

532
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: and let's take out a way to get more in

533
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: their make up for yeah, or actually, if it's a

534
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: year from now, we're probably getting ready for a preseason game.

535
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: First preseason game of the year, because that would have

536

Speaker 1: been coming up on Saturday if I'm correct, Yeah, it

537
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,879
