Speaker 1: Training Camp. Addition, I'm Jason Gibbs and one of the

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: lucky ones who got inside before today's storm blew through

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the Cross Country Mortgage Campus. Here's hoping if you were

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: here today you got to your car on time and

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: more importantly, got home safely. Day eight of training camp

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: is in the books and the Browns were able to

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: get in all but twenty minutes outside before the weather

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: forced them into the field house for the final periods

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: of the day. Full pads today for the Brown and Orange.

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: In past episodes, I mentioned how good the Browns running

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: back room has looked, and especially, but not surprisingly, how

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: good Nick Chubb has looked. But it just starts there.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt has looked great, d Ernest Johnson great, John

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Kelly Jr. Great, rookie Jerome Ford great. It does not

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: matter who the Browns put in the backfield these days,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: they are having big time success. It's become a fascinating

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: room to watch. All Pro guard Joel Bottonio had the

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: vet day off. Drew Forbes took the reps at left

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: guard along with Blake Hants, rookie wide receiver Michael Woods,

21
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: who's been talked about a lot this training camp period,

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: miss practice today with a hamstring injury suffered on Wednesday,

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: and center Nick Harris left practice after he was poked

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: in the eye, but he will be okay. Ethan post

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Sick replaced Harris at center. None of the currently injured

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: players returned, but coach Kevin Stefanski did say David Bell

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: and Anthony Schwartz are close. Here's your Cade York update

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: for the day. He missed one for the first time

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: in camp. It's okay, it was from fifty eight yards away.

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Otherwise a five or six day for the rookie kicker

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: who continues to impress. Here are your top five bytes

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: of the day. Number one All Pro guard Joel Botonio

33
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: showing some love to Brown's life Jim Joe Thomas in

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: an exclusive interview today on Cleveland Brown's Daily. Thomas has

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: been in town all week. It has been seen working

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: with the offensive lineman after practice. He's so so natural

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: and and um such a good you know describer, almost

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: two detailed, you know way he can describe a pass

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: that it's like artwork for him, you know. And he uh,

40
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: he does a great job. But I think when you

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: have a guy like Jed and hub and you know,

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: help played with him a little bit. But these guys

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: like that get to see greatness, you know, up front,

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: and they get asked those questions. It's something when your

45
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: coach tells you, Hey, do this. But when Joe Thomas

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: is like, hey, this worked for me, you know, I

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: think that clicks in people's head. And um, there's such

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: a respect in the line community for him, but for

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the great players that came before us and to be

50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: able to pick their brain and really just focus on

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: a couple of things. And and Joe's such a freek athlete,

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: Like I mean, he's so different that he does some

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: things that I don't know if anybody can replicate. But

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: taking one or two things away from his game that

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: you can use in your game, I think is always

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: a huge step from one bro Bowl guard to another.

57
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: Whyatt Teller on what's crazy about offensive line coach Bill Callahan. Wow,

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: what's crazy is he's this little guy who will get

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: in your face. You know, you're six ft five three

60
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: pounds and a lot of people would pick a fight

61
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: with you, and I swear he'll come out there is

62
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: left you right in the face. You know, he's not

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: afraid of anybody, UM, and I'm thankful for that. You know,

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: he's had he's had great players underneath of them who

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: all respect him. You know, you can talk to any

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: of his past players and they respect him. UM. And

67
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: he had something you earned, you know, and it's not

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: something you just get. Cut number three today is from

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: second your cornered Greg Newsome talking up veteran corner A J. Green,

70
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: who has quietly had a very very good camp. Strong

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: praise here from Newsom. Man, he's amazing. Um. I said

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: it last year and I'll say again, like I feel

73
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: like if he wasn't on his team, he can go

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: and be a starter anywhere else in the league. He's

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: that good, he's that talented. You know, he's Um. He's

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: been having a great camp. And yeah, whenever we need

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: him to be on that field, he's always there, ready

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: to go. UM. You know, we don't miss a being

79
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: with a mom field. More from Newsom here and cut

80
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: four this time talking about what it's like to go

81
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: up against Amari Cooper in practice. You can run any

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: route in the route UM, and his double moves and

83
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: he makes heavy route looked the say, so it's hard

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: to get a tell on him, but may he's just

85
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: the best in the game. It's just certain things that

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: you just can't teach him. You know, his raw running ability,

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: you can't you can't teach that. Finally, head coach Kevin

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Stefanski talking more about that versatile wide receiver room and

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: how the dbs on the team are benefiting from going

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: up against them. We do try to do things ones

91
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: versus ones oftentimes, and and you want you know, quote

92
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: unquote good versus good, and I think for our players

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: to get really good competitive work against each other, I

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: think there's a way to do that. And certainly when

95
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about the offensive players going against some talented

96
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: defensive players, uh, you have Amari Cooper who's a bigger body, uh,

97
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: different skill set than say a Demitrich Felt, for instance.

98
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's really good that those guys get

99
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: to work against different people throughout this camp. Day eight

100
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: in the books, one day closer to preseason game number

101
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: one in Jacksonville, day night and comes your way Saturday

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: at two o'clock, and we'll be back to recap it

103
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,279
