[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of a mental health aspect, I hope that's not confusing because I just don't want to say too much based on what I heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if, if the Baltimore, if, if what he did in the Baltimore game was the highest he was going to get, that's not good enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember because I was on the radio when it happened. And I was going bananas. Excited. I was screaming and yelling. I wasn't screaming and yelling for him to throw, you know, 230 yards or whatever. And you could say that's whatever. We all expected Deshaun to be a superstar. Nobody could deny. Let's not pretend we didn't expect that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he hasn't been. He hasn't been. He hasn't played an all pro, uh, uh, all pro level game in my opinion. You may argue with the Ravens game because when it mattered down the stretch he did. But Kenny Pickett's done that at times and we don't say he's played all pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that, well whatever, I mean. What I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it depends how you define it. No, I, I don't look at him as a, uh, top, I, I look at him as a tier three quarterback. Tier three? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never said he in the top 15. I never said what number he was. Tier 3 is 8. In my mind of thinking, that's like 8 to 13. Somewhere in that range. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many tears do you have? How do you define that? Six or seven tears. Okay. Three out of seven. I take that. Who is he, who is he with? Who is like Kirk Cousins? Kirk Cousins, Jack Prescott. I'm starting to, but bull, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but we're going off of this season though, right? No, I'm going, well, not just this season, obviously this season, ways are, are, are, are heavier than anything else. Oh, so great! So where's Joe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 25. He's a young old dude. I think Lamar. Watson's barely played for three years where borough has played all until the second half of this year. And you got, so you got, you got the calf, you got the ACL, right? Yeah. You got the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True, I'm not saying he's, but I'm not arguing that he's not gonna come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still think that Sean Watson can get back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the Tier 2 with Burrow. I think he's still capable. I'm just not sure. I also think he could be Tier 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that a lot of that has to do with the way defense has adjusted this year as a whole. And if that continues, then I will agree with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if they had, I do think that's part of it. We still, come on, in the end, we all said 5,000, oh, we all said over 4,500 yards this year. But sometimes, boo, that's what, you see what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They scrapped that whole thing. But, but, as Nick Chubb maybe doesn't come back, I don't know. Maybe they, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm gonna take Russell Wilson in this situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, let me, let me tell you why, okay? I look at the most important players on the Browns. Miles Garrett's 28. Amari Cooper's what, 30? 29, 30?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] History. Now maybe Miles Garrett's gonna be a freak and play longer. That wouldn't shock me. But how many good years did Petonio and Amari Cooper have left? And those are two of your most important players on offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chubb too. What's that? You can put Chubb in that category too. And Chubb. Same thing. Okay. Now, Russell Wilson has been very good every year of his career except for last year. Is that fair to say? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside of last year, last year was a disaster for Wilson for the Broncos total disaster. Outside of last year, you know what Russell Wilson doesn't really do? He doesn't turn the ball over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna win by running the ball and playing great defense. Hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who won a Super Bowl with a team that ran the ball and played great defense? That would be Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson has thrown 25 touchdowns in the postseason in 12 picks, 2 to 1 ratio. Alright, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has his detractors and that's fine. I thought he was going off the cliff last year, but clearly he's not. 19 touchdowns, 4 picks this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been better than Watson this year. He's been better than Watson three years in a row, essentially, cause Watson, even last year. Hasn't played. Watson hasn't played!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Russell Wilson's older and that's in the end what gives me pause. But I think the Browns best chance to win a Super Bowl is the next two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think for the next two years, Russell Wilson would give them a better shot. Do I agree that Deshaun Watson has more upside than Russell Wilson? Of course I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the best we've seen ever of Watson is better than the best we've seen ever of Wilson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys just said it. We may not get that again. And if we, I know that outside of one year, Russell Wilson has played a lot of years and has been a very steady guy. Look at that touchdown interception ratio. That's excellent. Deshawn's is too. I'm about to say Deshawn's is too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this year, he's like 5 to 1, isn't he? 19 to 4 this year. I mean, he's almost 5 to 1. Watch that inception ratio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, if you would have asked me this question any other, like, for the last few years, I would have of course said Watson. But it's now three years that he has either mostly missed or mostly not played well. And I, yeah, Russell Wilson's older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, I want the Browns to have the best chance to win the Super Bowl. Maybe I'm out of my mind. But I think for the next couple of years, I think it's Russell Wilson's the safer play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Russell Wilson's safety and quality and lack of turnovers on this team. We gonna find out this weekend if we gonna find out four o'clock in mile high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's funny is generally, one second Mike, generally I am not that type of guy. I am a go-forward type of guy. But this situation you are. In this situation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I just like the way Russell's Wilson's playing. I like his playoff experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, Cody. How are you, man? Thanks for joining us. We were just, I don't know how much you heard of our debate. We've been talking about who would you rather have going forward, Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson. I'm obviously in the minority here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What percent? 86. Yeah, I'm not surprised. I get it. And obviously everybody else on the show...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would take Deshaun Watson. My point is the Brown traded for Deshaun Watson to win a soup bowl now and Russell Wilson would give him a better chance. Well, the morning's healthy right now and Watson's not. I think Wilson would give him a better chance for the next year or two. I don't know. What do you say? What's your take as a Broncos guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like, it seemed like Jovante Williams is finally back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems like he's fully taken. I know P Ryan had a lot of, uh, played a lot at the end last week when he had a bunch of catches, but is he now the, you know, is he back to being the bell cow guy there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cody, good stuff, man. We'll look forward to the game this Sunday. Check out Cody, Locked Off, Brock, those podcasts. We appreciate the time, man. Take care, have a nice week, weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Uh, Mikey, let's go to you before we talk some cabs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and Earl, they need more time because they're losing their minds. Yes. Deservedly so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's impressive considering how stressful the end of the game was. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did, I lied, I watched some of it. But I could barely watch because that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This whole thing, first of all, the court's a disgrace. I kinda like it. You like it? I hate it. And then as soon as they started talking about, well the Cavs are in group B and blah blah blah, I don't know what none of that means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't give a rat's ass about any of that. It's so dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do the players care? $500,000? No. Most of them do not. It's just a regular season game with different courts. You think LeBron gives a crap about these stupid tournaments?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A six foot guy who can't shoot? You see something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys like me, I'm talking about guys at the big parks in Harlem and the Bronx and other parts of Manhattan. I don't know about those guys cause streetball is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they didn't get LeBron, they would never have won anything. This franchise has done zilch when they haven't had LeBron. I think they have two playoff series wins, maybe three, in the history of the franchise without LeBron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've never done anything. They had a nice team of Price and Daugherty, but those guys didn't, they were a nice team, but they didn't do anything. I think they won one series, maybe two, when they're all timed together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so now that we're almost at the quarter poll of the season, we're at the 20% mark of the season, has Evan Mobley taken any steps forward since last year? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think Mobley was going to be great coming out of college. I did, I loved him. You did, even before you moved to Cleveland. Loved him, yeaah. So compared to where you thought he'd be by now, how far behind is he behind where you thought he'd be when he first came into the league?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Way better than your Deshaun Watson Kevin Love comparison. That's the same thing. That was a terrible comparison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two things that, real quick guys, I want your opinion on and then we're going to switch to Ohio State. We'll have to talk about these longer next time. And I fully admit, because I'm not a phony like a lot of people in this business, that I am not an NBA authority. I don't watch a lot of NBA. This is a novice opinion. Alright, I'm keeping it real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of doing anything in the playoffs. They're soft, they don't play defense when it matters, they're too small at guard, they don't have enough good shooters, I don't think they're anything, I think they'll lose even if they make it, they're not winning a round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thought it was brilliant at the time, but if I could take the Donovan Mitchell trade back now, if I could reverse it right now, I would absolutely do it. Because marketing is probably just as good a player as Donovan Mitchell, right? Izzy or am I crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mitch is one step higher. He's close enough that you would have other assets and other draft picks and he might fit better on this team, no? I mean the three, the three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shay, good to have you. I've already riled up Brown's fans with the whole Russell Wilson Watson thing, which will be spun out of control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl's gotta be losing his mind over what I just said about Donovan Mitchell. And let's make it three for three. Ohio State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, they, they, they blasted them for cheating. Good. Michigan's a bunch of cheaters. Screw them. Screw Arbaugh. Now they gotta beat them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there any chance if he, like that his relationship with Marvin Harris and the fact that they're so close played a factor into why he's the starter here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay, good stuff, man. Enjoy the game. Have a happy Thanksgiving. We'll talk to you soon. Alright. Have a Thanksgiving, guys. Appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick, have you heard about Marvin Harrison Jr.'s brother? Supposedly even better than him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, how- his brother's already 19 and he's only a junior in high school. According to this, he's a junior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm reading this article here. It says his birthday was June 4th, which same birthday as me. He's got Covid ears. Uh, 2004.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless that's a mistake. Says he's a junior at St. Joseph Preparatory School. Which means he's not gonna graduate until he's 21. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something we gotta talk about on Friday. The Browns at safety are a mess right now. They're getting thin. Their number one safety is out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their number two safety, Delpit, is missing practice. Their number three safety is out for the year. And their number four safety is an undrafted rookie from the Ohio State.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wins is not only a quarterback stat. Like, we say wins only matter when it benefits our narrative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's called the birthday paradox. I don't believe that, is that true?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Injured or non-injured on the Cleveland Browns roster has the most wins at Cleveland Brown Stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was in Baltimore, Deshaun Watson, awful in the first half, best second half. He's played as a Cleveland Brown and, you know, all the, the thing I wrote after the game last night was that contract was a punchline. It was the Deshaun Watson comedy tour. Everyone was taking shots at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and rightfully so in a lot of instances, but he put it all together yesterday. That's why you pay that man. For that second half performance, for the game winning drive, 14 to 14 the second half, 134 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playing through foot injury, playing through a shoulder injury, uh, Deshaun Watson finally looked like a franchise quarterback in the second half and a gotta have it game on the road against the divisional opponent, first place team, possibly the best team in the AFC and the Browns chopped them down and Deshaun gets full credit for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biggest, well, right on that point, biggest throw of the game I thought was second in 19 to Amari when he coming off the stretch sack. Yep, yep, that was it. We'll get to the sack and Wyatt Teller with the biggest fall recovery that no one talks about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But on second and 19, again, your backs up against it. It's not looking good. You don't want to be in third and long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he delivered a strike to Amari Cooper, uh, for what? 15, 16, I think it was. Put you in third and manageable. 17 yards down at 32. And gets you manageable. You're able to convert and you keep that drive going. That was a big time throw. I don't know if that's the best throw of the year, but under the circumstances, maybe it was. And Mike,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On our pre-show call, you had a stat that kind of surprised me a little bit about Deshaun in second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, our eyes tell us he's a better quarterback in the second half. We've, how many times have we said that? The Arizona game, this game, even Tennessee game, he was better in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to hear that he's number one in EPA, expected points, uh, what, I just forgot it, expected points per play basically. Are you adding points or are you subtracting points with your play? There, there have been games where the Browns were losing points every time the quarterback dropped back this year. So for him to be number one in that stat is, that's a, that's an advanced metrics, that's a really big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can look at his Houston numbers to see if he was always the second half quarterback. If this is, you know, the remnants of the shoulder where it just takes him a while to get warmed up and get hit up. Cause again, he's still not a hundred percent guys. He's not going to be. I was talking to him after the game about a little bit of his locker. He's still not happy with his deep throws where it's sort of the ball placement is on some of the, on some of the throws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're, they're working on, they're tweaking some things with some inside leverage on some of the routes. Uh, and, and Kevin has them under center. He made it sound like he's going under center more yesterday than he had. The numbers didn't really back that out, or bear that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's clear that he's under center more than he was in Houston. And that's something from Kevin trying to get certain defensive looks from the opponents. And right now, everything is working. Everything that they're doing is working, especially in the second half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We thought he wasn't nowhere to be found. PJ Walker's warming up in the third quarter and Deshawn's not even out yet. And Kevin said, like, he said, well, I mean, Deshawn told me he was playing, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we just kind of, you know, I thought he was playing. Deshaun said he'd be back out there. He left early to go get re-taped. We could talk about that, about the end of half, you know, whatever happened there. But he had left to go get the ankle re-taped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the second half and then when he came back out, obviously he was, he was able to still go. Uh, but it was for, for a couple minutes there, there was a question about whether or not he could continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it was ankle, foot, I don't know exactly what it is. You can, I guess assume ankle, but I don't know that we necessarily know specifically what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it was a lot of times guys even boots is just to stabilize it so they don't roll it or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and, and this is an offense right now as Presley constructed with an injured quarterback, with no tackles, with no run, with your starting running back out. You look at this and you say, well, that's a team that shouldn't be able to come back on teams. The worst thing you could do is fall behind early. Well, they fell behind early to San Francisco and Baltimore and they came back and beat both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this team defies logic in so many ways, and you just have to respect the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gino Stone for like 15 yards! Real quick, can you show that one more time, Mikey? I want you to see how late Joe Botonio comes into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know him well, I know him a little bit. Just trying to get to know him a little bit, talking to him in his locker here and there and a couple days of practice at postgame. So I'm by no means a Deshaun Watson expert. I don't know him that well. And I don't know if he would ever admit this, but yeaah, I think he needed this. I think he needed this for himself, for his confidence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has to learn to be the villain. And that's just the way it is. He is going to be the villain no matter where he goes. And this is a guy who's been beloved his entire career and now outside of Cleveland and even in parts of Cleveland, he's the villain. And that's just, I think it's been an evolution for him. It's something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably was hard to deal with in the beginning. He says he sees everything. He hears everything. He's blocked pretty much every Twitter account in Cleveland I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's just the reality of where he's at right now. And so it's, it's so much more than just football. There's so much, there's so many layers to this that we're talking about. There's the injury, there's the confidence trying to get back. There's the mental side of it, the emotional side of it. So there's just a lot going on right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but if he can take that second half and he can't play better than that. Now 14 to 14, that part is perfect, but he can play better. We've seen him play better than what he played yesterday. So there's still more levels to this. Oh yeah. And yesterday is just a taste I think for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the top opponent of like, it's still in there, I've still got this, there it is, let's go do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. And it's, I don't want to bang on Baker, but the thing that I wrote about with Baker over and over again is last three and four minutes and gotta have it moments. What do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And he turned the ball over and couldn't get it done to Sean. And that got to have a moment yesterday. That's why you pay him that money is because of that drive, that game winning drive at the end of the game. And we talked about it the second and 19th row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] down double digits in th we were talking a couple w how the Browns couldn't co quarter and win. But not in the fourth quarter when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and, and under pressure yesterday, I didn't think, I didn't think Lamar played well at all yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bengals advantage in that game is Baltimore is beat up. They could be without Ronnie Stanley, their tackle now. And that was a physical, physical. Marlon Humphrey. The Browns kicked their ass. And they gotta play Thursday night. So you gotta come back on short rest in four days. That, and I know Cincinnati just played, but I can't believe, I didn't see it, but I can't believe that Cincinnati game was as physical as that Cleveland Baltimore game. And it's, I mean, those Baltimore boys are limping today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He protected Deshaun with two tackles who are not starting tackles in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That alone is worthy of praise, but the one thing that he did in the beginning that really stood out to me, so first, second play of the game, Deshaun throws a pick six, you know, we all know, we all saw it, and you all think it's disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cart got off the rails and when it happened and they were able to keep together. And for chemists to come out in the field and say, hey, we're good, we're okay, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not ideal, but we're going to be fine. And it's that even keel about him. We've talked about it for years. This is an organization that is not even. This is an organization that's one of the most emotional ownership all over the place in the league. So you need that steady hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guiding the ship. And that's what he is. And both you and I have been huge Kevin supporters


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of in the storm saying, guys, this is not what's wrong with this team. He is not what's wrong with this team. And I think these last few weeks he's been able to show that and the creativity with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we talked about it last week. You've got to go jumbo. And it's, it's not pretty, but you know, sometimes the offense calls for screens, extra linemen. They had seven linemen in on some of those bowline plays. Seven linemen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then they go empty and Deshaun has a clear path right to stroll right in for a two point conversion out of an empty set. So, you know, the creativity is there. The calmness is there. I've always thought he's an NFL head coach. I've always sort of believed in him and thought he was the right guy for the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I absolutely think that's still true. I think he's deserving of an extension. I think he'll get an extension after the season. And I just really like sort of where this is all headed with him in charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And real quick, let's cover the end of the half. Cause I think that there is an explanation behind it. I didn't like the play call when he threw it. I thought you should run it there. What were the kind of 59, 60 yard field goal I think. Just run it. You have a timeout. Run it. Pick up three or four yards. Make it a little bit more manageable. When they decide to throw it and it's incomplete,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ravens set up for a return because they, with the sick, with the cat along, you assume if there's any chance of it falling short, you can catch a return. Remember the Auburn Alabama game from a few years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you were in that position, you got a lot of big fat guys on the field and they're not that fast. So it's actually easier to return a kick that long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think when he saw them sitting up for a return, he said, you know what? We're not going to take that chance. Not to mention, I think there's seven seconds left still. Another reason to run it because you get to kick the field goal. Well, you could run it down to two or three seconds and make sure that's the last play. But with seven, if Baltimore blocks it, you give Justin Tucker a shot at some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for those reasons, I think he just changed his mind when he saw Baltimore line up or set up for a return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I, if you run it there, you know, whatever, but that's the type of nitpicking that you could do with any coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and ultimately, I mean, if that's the thing you're going to gripe about, then you're a miserable person. Right. And so you're saying G's a miserable person? He's not a miserable person. He came around. G's coming around. We're like Novacade. We're wearing him down. Sooner or later, we'll wear him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the Niners game, they were holding on for dear life and they won because of a miss kick at the end. You get extra credit from PJ Walker. This is a divisional game, on the road, and you had to drive the offense down the field to win it. So for those reasons, it's this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're talking about this in terms of Kevin, which one is more significant to Kevin, he's the offensive coordinator, you know, he's the play caller. So it's this one because it's the divisional game, it's on the road and you had to drive the field. He managed the clock perfectly at the end of the game. He left no time for Baltimore to go the other way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] San Francisco, you're holding onto your butt and hoping they miss a kick at the end. Even though it was with PJ Walker, you get massive points for that. Massive points for that. But because of what was at stake, I think it's this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On offense. It was the Seattle game all over again. They turned the water off. Is that the Odell play? Is that what you're showing there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the one thing that I'm a little concerned about, you know, we talked about, I mentioned on the show multiple times,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and that's exactly the type of play that I'm talking about where in the moment it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but that's a touchdown saving tackle if you can make the play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little concerned about Thornhill because now he's probably going to miss a little bit of time with his calf. They are saying it's going to be... Well no, I mean he's, it's a calf injury. Like you know with Burrow, he's probably out three weeks a month.

[Assistant] He's so many times this year, and that plays a perfect example. I've said it on the show. He makes plays that don't look big in the moment, but if he doesn't make that play, it's going for six. But overall, the defense played really, really well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, the defensive line set the tone yesterday, and Lamar said that after the game. He said that, you know, Miles and those guys just cranked up the heat and cranked up the pressure on him. Even if they didn't get there, and Miles did get home a couple of times, but even when they didn't get there, they had him operating under duress most of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talked about it before, it takes defensive tackles a couple of years to sort of get their sea legs and find their bearings in the NFL. Plus I think the veterans that they brought in have had a lot to do with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To your point, there's a lot of first downs where he's not on the field now. Because they're getting him extra blows and they're saving his legs for third down situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 22 and a half. He's got a shot. I mean, he's, he's, he's going to have to have like a four set game in there. Yeah. To have a shot. Well, he's going to have to have one game where he goes nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was good, the way the defense did that. When he missed the kick, I kinda, I was in the press box and I looked up at one of the Brown staffers like, are you kidding me? Here we go again. And, and his response is like, well, I mean, they're gonna have to make another kick to win it anyway. So it really isn't that big of a deal. Yeah. And you know, but Tonio said the same thing in the locker room after the game. He's like, yeah, you know, and it kind of sucks in the moment, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I didn't even watch the kick because I had the binoculars on the brown sideline. I just wanted to watch your reactions. And it's funny because Kevin never watches the kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm guessing for the angle. He just watches the scoreboard at the opposite end because they've got those big scoreboards on each end. So he never watches the kick live. He turns around and watches the scoreboard. So I was watching the brown sideline. I didn't even see the flag. Someone else had flag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the way they were celebrating, the officials came over to Kevin, it was clear that it was on Baltimore and obviously they were going to decline it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, real quick, I don't know if we have this, I don't think we have this mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are concerns, major concerns with the special team still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we just sort of sweep it under the rug, because he missed, it was the extra point, right, against Arizona? No, he missed the field goal. He missed the field goal against Arizona, missed the extra point yesterday. Two weeks in a row, he's missed kicks. So there's gonna come points in games where you gotta have those kicks. We talked about it at the start of the show where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just talked about on the show or pre-show about all the games that came down to game winning kicks with no time left. There were five, it was a great show. Yea, it was five. Five games yesterday ended on game winning field goals with no time left. So I still have full confidence in Dustin Hopkins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's worth at least acknowledging that he's missed kicks now in two straight weeks. No doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 7 for 7 number is insane. That's insane! Because his whole knock was he didn't have a strong leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you want your feature back to be. Running through contact, running hard, hitting the hole with aggression, not going down on the first hit. I'm not as impressed with one 69 yard run that skews all the numbers as opposed to a day like yesterday when you're just grinding and grinding and grinding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. Now he's got to do it again and again and again. That's the, that's what the trademark of a feature back in the NFL is being able to do it every week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But boy, was he impressive yesterday. And, and yeah, he hadn't shown that in all of his starts this year. He had really demonstrated an ability to be that guy to consistently carry the ball, to move the chains, to run the clock. And yesterday, full credit to, to Jerome for by far his best days of pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you, a lot of teams can't afford to do and I'm, I don't know how long they can get away with this as long as they're paying, you know, when the quarterback is eating up as much cap space, it's hard to pay your guard 17 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But boy, yesterday they show you why that they get the money that they do. I thought that was why it's best game in years. And, and, and, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without seeing the film of every single play, obviously he had a lot of pop plays. The big block on the turn around on the pass block when he just leveled the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The falling on the fumble, I can't stress enough how important that was. And you know, I was talking to him after the game and he said he saw it sort of happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Christian lost his man, I think the pressure came from Christian's side. Correct. And Wyatt turned around and saw this coming and knew the ball was coming out and just dove on it, scooped it up. Said he remembered back when he was a kid, defensive lineman, put your pinkies together and scoop that ball up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game's over. If he doesn't recover that, game's over right there and we're not talking about this at all. Oh my god. So for the, for the guards to have as much pressure on them as they did because you're playing with such inexperienced tackles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there were issues. There was holding calls. There was, I think, some false starts. They did give up some pressures. What did you expect? It's the fourth and fifth tackles. Of course that stuff's gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, we may be saying something. I mean, James Hudson, if Dewine's not back, it's Hudson against TJ Watt next week. And you know, say your prayers because we've seen that two years in a row and we know how that goes. But I'll tell you about James Hudson. Dude plays with passion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he wants it. And he's an emotional player. You saw him out there with the fist pumps and everything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He struggles at times, but my goodness, does he put everything he's got. It's not due to lack of effort. It is not a lack of effort. And he was right there on the, on the huddle push all around the place. And now again, again, I work it out for him next week. If the wine's not back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we can talk about that later, but really a nice job by this offensive line holding up under duress with the fourth and fifth string tackles. Kevin calling the right plays. We talked about, they were going seven offensive linemen at times. They were going really, really heavy, extra tight ends, extra linemen trying to help on the edges when they could. And by God, it worked. You know, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to say, I think a lot of it has to do with scheme. Obviously we talked about that before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there were so many injuries to the linebackers last year, probably doing things, he was being asked to do things that he's not really comfortable doing. He's in the perfect role right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defense creates a chaos up front, the line, the front four creates chaos, and he just comes in and cleans it up. And it's a perfect role for him. He's undersized, he's always going to be undersized, but he's fast, a sound tackler, and, and he's having a terrific, terrific year. I just think, I think his tackling has improved too. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, he was asked about that after the game about why he sort of vanished in the second half. Because Gus Edwards was doing nothing. Yeaah, that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't seen enough of the Ravens this year to know how much of a factor he's been, but he can fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've talked about it at various turns this year, but they could easily be 9 and 1. Now I know they could easily be, have short extra losses, but I mean, easily 9 and 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easy money. Yeah. So, and, and I guess with, by winning yesterday, this two game stretch we talked about last week, Pittsburgh, Baltimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just split them, you're going into before the Baltimore game. If you just split them, you're right in the thick of the playoff. Well, you're not thinking that way anymore. No, but it still applies. And I think that's important to keep in mind is that if you lose both of them, you're screwed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, you're in serious trouble trying to make the playoffs. If you win them both, you're in control of, you control your own destiny. Right. But just come out of these two weeks with a split and you're looking really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they got the hard part out of the way. Going and winning at Baltimore. I wasn't on the show Friday. I had to go to the guardians. I wouldn't pick them to win. If I had to hit a headline, I'd pick Baltimore. I saw Jay pick Baltimore to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would have picked Baltimore to win. I didn't think Cleveland was going to win that game. So to win that game and now to have Pittsburgh coming back at home, you're in control of everything. Regardless of what happens at Cincinnati Baltimore, obviously you want Cincinnati to win that game if you're a Browns fan. But ultimately, no, the Browns are in control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that kind of cancels out because some of these teams may not have had their bye, maybe they did. But also he missed the first game and a half because Nick wasn't a starter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who? Bill Callahan. Great job, dude. Yes. Great job getting those tackles up and ready to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The quarterback? Probably since Dan Marino. Oh, Peyton. Peyton was pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And listen, we talked about it before the show started. It's a really good thing to turn it around because you don't want Houston to have a better quarterback than Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they got two pick? They got two? They got one more to go. They got their first rounder this year. They got Cleveland's first rounder still to come this year. Yeaah. Now hopefully the way it's training, it's not gonna be a pick. It's a late pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Jason Lloyd, Deshaun Watson trending toward plain on Sunday. Is that a surprise? We're going to talk about it. Gee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still think it's a mistake, but you know, we talked to Tim Couch during the YouTube show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I asked him, you know, whose call is this ultimately? And he said, it's basically going to come down to Deshaun and the medical team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Medicals already cleared them though, it's up to when Deshawn feels ready to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So clearly Deshawn's told him this week, from the looks of things at least, Deshawn's told him, I'm ready to go again, and now I guess we'll roll him out Sunday and see what it looks like. Sure not!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It very well, I mean, what's to say it doesn't happen next week against Baltimore?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean if, if he, if he suffers another injury and he's out for the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meaningless stat, coincidence. Here's why. Read those names again. Do you have them? Read all those names again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All first round picks. A lot of them number one overall. Yea, but some of those are really bad players. Some of them are, but some, I mean, Joe Burrow's not, Matt Jones was decent, his rookie year, that was his best year was his rookie year. You're talking, in Clayton Tune, if it's Clayton Tune, you're talking about a fifth round guy taking 139th overall making his first start. That's a lot different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then some of these other names we're talking about. I'm not worried about it at all. I think if it's Clayton Tune, the Browns will be just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They finished, you know, and he got hurt. Jaguars were terrible. Trevor's work here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Epic at New England. Hey, Mack Jones is a rookie here. We all thought, well, Belichick did it again. Oh, I did, but a lot of people did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cardinals aren't playing for anything this year. It doesn't make any sense to throw Murray back in against a pretty good defense that knows how to get after it. Do you really want Kyler Murray to see Miles Garrett in his first start in over a year? Set him for another week. I think it's going to be the rookie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care what Jonathan Gannon has to say on the plane, I already know who's gonna start. Cards can't carry a tune!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Browns, Barry, rookie quarterback, Clayton Toon, 17-10 win. I think it's going to be a low scoring game. I wasn't really sure when I wrote this how the Browns were going to go, if it was going to be Deshawn or if it was going to be PJ Walker. Ultimately, I don't think it matters. I think the Browns can win this game with either guy. It's part of the reason why I think they should sit Deshawn and play PJ for one more week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but the Cardinals, if they run out of rookie fifth round pick, I don't care about the numbers of, uh, of Schwartz against rookie quarterbacks. Those are first round picks. This is a fifth rounder making his first start. I think he's going to be overmatched and overwhelmed in Cleveland. Browns get away and get back on track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we neglect our health. As a gender, we are not very good. You know, something hurts, you got somethings going on, I'll be okay. We're John Wayne. Yes. The problem with that is most illnesses that creep up on young men aren't deadly if they're caught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A foundation asked me to do this last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did it, and I begrudgingly did it. I've never grown a beard. I don't grow a good beard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that gave me an opportunity every time someone asked to tell them why I'm doing this. I'm doing this to raise awareness for men's health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to the doctor. If you have something that you feel is not quite right, something's wrong, and you know when something, a lot of times, I've talked to guys that have been diagnosed with cancer and said, yeah, I have blood in my urine for six months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pay attention to your health, guys. Pay attention to your health. You're important and you're loved by a lot of people. Whoever you are, you've got a circle. Uhm, do it for them if you don't do it for yourself. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, uh, Tyvis has his national championship trophy back there. Whatever, that's worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a sixties going on this week. There was a forties the week before mine, thirties the week before that. There's a seventies. That's actually awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is, cause they have good shape. You're watching cause it's cute. You're not watching cause it's good baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I give each and every one of them credit because they're out there doing what they love to do. And I tell you, anybody that's played baseball, you know this is true. McNuggets, you played, I know you played. When you put on the uniform, you're 13 again. Yup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long has it been since you strapped on a football uniform, Tyvis, and what would that feel like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See? So there's a mentality that goes with that uniform. And for me, I know I'm old, I'm not the player I once was, none of us were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, all of us were real, this was a great team, made up of guys, a big core of the team was from Cleveland, another core was from Florida, and then another core from Atlanta. Guys, we've played together in the past, and it's just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a really competitive tournament. We played some games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We played, the team we played in the quarterfinals, we beat 11-10, they had three pitchers, they all threw low to mid-80s. I mean, it was the best pitching we saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we, we knuckled up, we got, we got the win, and we run ruled a team from Miami in the championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love those guys. Great experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonderful team. Terrific. We played nine games in seven days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of our bodies are hurt. I need an MRI on my pitching elbow. I've had a bruised, I took a foul ball off the foot. My foot was bruised from the second game on. It's still all purple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we gut it out because we're old men that love to play baseball. So if you're a baseball player and you've thought about finding a Roy Hobbs league, there's greater Cleveland league, great league, join the league, go play baseball, feel young again, stay young. Okay, that's it. That's my speech. Mikey!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask Jay a question, because this is a fun experiment. I've been caught where people ask me that and I'm like, you know what? Yeaah. I've got confirmation bias. Right? You're looking for what you want to hear, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he answer the injury questions for you on Sunday with his arm? The throws that he made? Do you feel that the health is now behind him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're so deep in the weeds, sometimes they're blinded by it. And I think you're right, because I'm working in two different avenues and the comments that you see on WKYC Channel 3 are much more measured, less impulsive, less angry for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will a part of Brown's nation ever like Deshaun Watson? Or does he have to win a Super Bowl to win them over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is he so polarizing? Well, there's two very clear reasons. One, a guy that this fanbase rallied around because he ended the drought


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And won a playoff game was moved out so he could come in. So automatically you've got all the Baker Bros there saying, wait a minute, this guy just did it a year ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you're jettisoning him and you're giving up three first round draft picks and 230 guaranteed. So that part of the fan base, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you throw on the allegations, and then you had people that may not have been Baker Bros, but they just didn't like the looks of going out and giving that much money to someone that had big legal proceedings hanging over them. So the group got bigger. Then you had the fact that, let's face it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His first 10 games have been very unremarkable. In fact, if they were noteworthy for anything at all, they've been noteworthy for subpar play. So then there's that. So the group now of detractors is getting even bigger. Then you throw the fact on that, and this is when I read the question, I thought, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care if his name is Deshaun Watson or Tom Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care who it was, this trade wasn't made to be pretty good and to win a couple of playoff games or to beat Arizona 27 to nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's one thing that will judge this trade. I said it the day they made it. This trade will be judged long term and by history as to whether or not they go to a Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some would say they have to win a Super Bowl. I'm of the ilk that if he takes us to a Super Bowl, nobody else has done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even the Tennessee game, which was the other game in which he played better than mid. Uh, the defense played great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think what we're looking for, it's very simple. It's, it's Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to beat the Ravens. That's why, that's why he's here. The Ravens are the class of the division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All this other stuff, it's nice, you gotta accumulate wins to get to where you wanna go. But I gotta tell you, if they hope to win the division, they don't need to win this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, obviously they can still get to the division without winning it, but this is as close to a must win if you want to win your division because you're owing two against Baltimore if you lose it. And you're three games back in the standings looking up saying, how are we going to make up this with, with such a little football


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, if he does that, I am all in. Because I'm still one foot in, one foot out. Because of what the expectations were, because of what we've given up to get him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that because he came on the heels of Baker that made it worse? Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, you know, when I listed my things, that was the first thing I listed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was replacing a polarizing guy who had turned the franchise around, right? You know, I mean you can't deny that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They won the playoff game at Pittsburgh. They played Kansas City well. And then it just all went so south, so fast. I don't think the people that were, there were a lot of fans that weren't ready to give up on him. They weren't ready to move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, you're absolutely right. In fact, speaking of Jed Wills, we're gonna talk about him in a second. I think to put a bow on this, cause Mike asked another question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Games like this. You have to. They better. Because you're never going to win them over. If you go to Baltimore and you lose to Baltimore and you keep losing to Baltimore and Pittsburgh. They figured out Cincinnati. But you can't keep losing to Baltimore and Pittsburgh in this town and win it over. You can't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and when you say not there yet, I can't imagine that the defense can play any better than it has. Yea, they can't. I mean, when you look at, in terms of net yards, the top four performances this year, the top three are brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's unbelievable what this defense is doing. It cannot be wasted. You can't kick that can down the road and say, well, hopefully next year we'll get a wide receiver and we'll have a healthy running back. You can't do that. Gotta strike now. We've got the quarterback and we've got the defense. And those are the two components you need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did I miss? I thought I saw reports that he was out for the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think Wills was a, he was from college. He was a right tackle at Alabama. He was a right tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's funny, I don't, we were trying to figure out, okay, so what changed with Jed Wills? Cause he was like, he was grading out in like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pride thing can kick in and say, you know what? I'm done. I clearly haven't worked hard enough. I've got to work harder. I've got to watch more tape. I don't know what he did, but somehow he found a switch and he became


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. He, he just was, you know, hey, we used to watch and say, oh my God, that the last two sacks were on him. Yeah. Holding penalties on him. But we haven't watched the last month that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Jones is built like a left tackle. Now I didn't hear Mary Kay's report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jones to me looks like a stalwart left tackle for 15 years. He does. His footwork is excellent. His body, it's just, it's incredible how massive this dude is. So to me, I thought, let's do it. I mean, Jed Wills was the right tackle at Alabama. Duann Jones was the right tackle at Ohio State. He knows the speed of the league now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think that that's your answer. Now, one thing that scares me, I think they tried this a couple of years ago. They put Batonio over there and it was, he was outsized. He was outsized. It didn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, we're gonna move on. We're gonna talk about, McNuggets, I want you to set this up. Yea, let me set this up here. Because, I'm not, I don't really have all the information on it, I just know that the Nujoku brothers are gonna join us now, and we're gonna talk about football, but we're also gonna talk about a business venture that they're part of, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love the name, there's gotta be a story behind it. Now you go by Eno-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know. Okay, you know. Innocent. Love the name. As a kid, you're like, I didn't do it, I'm innocent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell us what Injoku Strong is and how I can get a 90 minute benefit out of a 20 minute workout. I'm all ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you're maximizing your time, which is important for all of us. Mikey, do we have a picture of what this looks like? I'm very curious to see. Well, you're going to see it because me and Mike, he's doing it, I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with the exception of that time, I just, you don't see the results as you get, as you age. Your testosterone level goes down. That's obviously the chemical that helps build muscle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a question about this suit. Do you have to go to the gym to use it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A burn victim recovers so quickly. I chalk it up to great genetics. Obviously you guys hit the genetic lottery. How, how, take us through this whole journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've decided that whatever you guys decide to do, try to do, I tell people this and I know this because my son is the track coach at Rutgers and he went to high school in New Jersey when we lived there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I tell people that David Adjoku highjumped seven feet, and they're like, no he didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, yes he did. And if he decided he wanted to be a pole vaulter, he'd probably vault 22 feet. It's, how does, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] David, let's talk a little bit of Browns football here. Uhm, very impressive victory on Sunday. Uhm, we, we opened the show by, you know, you can't please everybody. Some people were, I guess, G said that there were comments about, you know, the, uh, the Sean still didn't look like they want him to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where do you feel you guys are on the spectrum in terms of reaching your full potential? Where are you now and how good can this, what's the ceiling for this team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think during the telecast on Sunday, one of the broadcasters said that in talking to Miles Garrett,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mentality against Baltimore. What's your mindset? What's the team's mindset going in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, listen, David, thank you. We're gonna wrap up with your brother. Thanks for coming on and spending time with us. Best of luck the rest of the season. Uh, all things are pointing in the right direction. Go get one of Baltimore, man, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I, I still need to know about this suit. Can I buy one? Do I have to go to a gym to try it out? I'm, I'm, listen, Tyvis, you're laughing at me. Bro, when you're 58, you're gonna be looking for every little shortcut you can find too. When I'm 50, when I'm 58,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for coming by. We appreciate you. Greatly appreciate it. Best of luck with this. I am fascinated by it and I think a lot of other people are too. It sounds tremendous. We're going to get the report on Friday from our guys and see how, you know, Mikey's going to come in here tomorrow. He's going to be like 190 times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that there's a family I know that's been blessed with better looks, better athletic ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. I love it. That is, that's awesome. We don't really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hall of Famers don't hang out with us. You know, we're kind of low brow company. So whenever we have a Hall of Famer on, we're all enamored by it. Uhm, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are your thoughts as this team gets ready to turn the page to the Ravens? This, for, for me, you know, when the schedule comes out, there's like five or six that jump off of it. Obviously the divisional games, uh, are there, but this year, because the Ravens have proven sort of to be the standard in the division,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is as big as the Niners game. Probably bigger because it is divisional. What's your take on where the Browns are and how they're situated going into this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of that being said, Mary Kay, uh, we were talking about it earlier and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gee had made the point that there's still a lot of criticism of Deshaun Watson. And, you know, I went through the litany of reasons, probably why. First of all, his play has not been what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] fans expected. He replaced a polarizing Baker Mayfield, who say what you will, ended the drought and led the team to a playoff victory over Pittsburgh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I hear what you're saying, you can't make any game too big, because you're just adding pressure. But,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our discussion of how he wins this fan base over, I said it's simple. It's winning games like this. I mean, this is a critical game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know he's not going to downplay it in his mind, but we also can't make it less than what it is. He was brought here to take this team to a Super Bowl. You can't take this team to a Super Bowl if you don't get past Baltimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, you know, this is it for him. He's gotta play well in games like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary Kay, one of the things that, uh, we've looked at closely is defense. And, you know, I think, I think it was the top three of the top four defensive performances in terms of net yards allowed has, uh, have come from this Brown's defense. I keep wondering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is, have we seen the ceiling to this defense? Because they were missing the turnover element, now they've thrown the turnovers in there. Uh, they're setting the bar pretty high, I don't, can they play anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to imagine this defense can get better, but she makes great points. You know, if everything is clicking, uhm, then there's still some room for improvement. I hope we see some of that against Baltimore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we were talking, it hit me, uh, about, because I wasn't here the Monday after the loss two weeks ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I didn't get a chance to really gauge your guys' reaction or fan reaction. I mean, was it as obvious on the show as it seemed as I was watching the game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, but they're not in that point, they're not in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it wasn't even a picking up the first down. The group that I was watching with, it was all my teammates, we were watching it and I said, simple, if they throw on this play, we lose. If we run on this play, we win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I could go B-2, I mean, I just think it's off. What is wrong with you? I, I, what'd you put? She knew give well soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too low! Yeah, I think that's too low too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He left the shadow of Denzel Ward, cause that's what he was last year. He was Denzel's shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a shadow of himself. And now he's back to, oh, Denzel Ward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you think it's more scheme and- I think, I think it's mental. Swartz related.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's true. Yeah, you know what, I'm with you F minus. That's terrible. Terrible. PFF minus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I like him, number one. Let me get that out of the way. I like him as a player. Great. Uhm, I like the fact that he's a catcher. I think catchers make the best managers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have an intimate knowledge of all of the hitters. I think the fact that he was in the game so recently helps him tremendously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows the strengths and weaknesses of all these hitters because as a catcher you have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to know that certain hitters don't like certain pitches, certain spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's only a year removed from that, so all of that intimate knowledge of the hitters is at his fingertips. So I like that. He's very well thought of. I reached out after he was hired to some guys that I trust implicitly and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They cover the game on a regular basis and they say, oh, you won't find anybody that can say anything bad about him. He's a sponge for information. He's very smart. He's, here's the interesting thing to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotten to, and I think this is a, one of the bad things about Moneyball was they told us managers don't matter. They told us that in the book and in the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just kind of a placeholder. The real brains upstairs with the Ivy League degrees will figure out and tell you what you need to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the last two World Series winners are 76 and 68.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Bruce Bochy and Dusty Baker don't exactly go on the analytics chart. Right. They use analytics to the right degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But mostly it's gut, it's feel, it's instinct, it's knowing how to treat players like Tito did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've also been underpaid. I've always thought that managers were underpaid, but yesterday the deal that Craig Council got to go to the Cubs...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really hasn't. It has not worked out. And I think that Bochy and Baker have a lot to do with that. Obviously, they have a lot of talent, but this Rangers team, that just won the World Series, lost 100 games last year. And they brought Bochy in, and suddenly, he waves the magic wand, and I guess managers do mean something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cubs figured that out. The Cubs said, we're going to go out and get the best available guy. And they, and they both were shocked that they got rid of Ross. I was stunned. I'm, I gotta tell you, I worked with David Ross for a number of years at ESPN. I know him personally. I think he did a great job in Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, when I saw it, clearly what they're thinking is, we got a chance to get a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they did it. Now time will tell whether or not the move pans out, but Ross is the same thing. Former catcher, well thought of and not very far removed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oftentimes, great managers weren't great players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, you know, I'm fine with the hire. I think they got the right guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, look, the roster is what it is. The manager has nothing, almost nothing to do with that in most cities. You know, like, when you have the cachet of Terry, the front office is gonna come to him and say, look, we like this guy, we like this guy, break the tie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what he's doing is he's finding out how do these 25 fit together best? How do they come together? What's my order look like? You know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which guy's gonna win the battle spots? You got second base or left field? So you are making decisions, but for the most part, you're managing people. And you were a leader, you know that, that's the case when you're a manager of anything, you're managing people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's being judged by what he does early on and give him the tools to win and don't pull the plug in July if you're two games out of first place and what did you get, what do you get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the people that I check with glowing things to say about him. He's smart. He respects the game. He's well liked. He's respected by others. You're not going to find any baggage with this guy. So I think that, um, you know, now he's got to put it together. He's got to go on the field. He's got to win. And if that pitching staff stays healthy, there will be expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because last year it didn't and they weren't far out. So, and look, you know, we saw it with the Rangers. It's easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's easier now than it once was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To flip the script on 100 loss season. Hell, the other World Series team, the Arizona Dimebacks, they lost 110 games just two years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, it can be done with the right people, and I think Steven Vogt was the right guy to lead this charge. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do too. If I do it after every hour, like. Well not every hour, but multiple times every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. Show her your love. That's right. I mean, it's a statue of limitation on, like, I, I gotta, I'll give her two, one, two, two I Loves You. A day. Alright. Two more. That's good. Two at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just gonna go to one of my favorite books and there's a quote in this novel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it talks about leadership. It says the difference between a good administrator and a bad one is about five heartbeats. Good administrators make immediate choices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Dune? No kidding. God Emperor of Dune is a great novel. Shout out to Frank Herbert, one of my favorites. That was Duke Leto Atreides II. Go watch that if you ever go watch it, go check out the novel. But he hits it right on the head right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you going to do at that point? There's nothing you can do about it. And right now you've had, you know, the quote was so, I was just looking at it, and it just shows if you apply it to this context. They had weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they snuck a game that they weren't supposed to win against the 49ers and they won it. If they would have had a decision and stopped telling you day to day, they could have also set him down from the time he got hurt all the way until maybe the Ravens game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got two people that are looking out for their jobs and they're saying, okay, at least we can string this along. The more they string it along,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The public sentiment seems to change. Because if you keep saying day to day, day to day, day to day, we'll figure out how to take them out and protect them. What happens is the fan base starts to look at you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To figure out why you can't play, or can you play? And... And if you can't, go find someone that can. And so right now, they got him on the bench, they got him sitting here, and every week that goes by, what starts to happen is, they're paving the groundwork for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well look, look at the, you're gonna start, see these coaches been leaking in the media. We lost Chubb. We lost Watson. We lost Conklin. Look at the adversity we've been through. Uh, you know, we didn't even get our franchise quarterback this year. He played one game, we thought we had him up and running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's be clear, there's a lot of, and I like to tell people, you know, everybody thinks that their fan base is the most intelligent and most informed, but I'm going to be honest with you, fans fall in love with the record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, I've found over the years is just by even just talking about the team. That four and two record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so exactly, we kinda like this. So the doctor tells you, you know what, we did catch it early enough, right? But since you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says, take this medicine, you'll get better, and we caught it in time. You say to him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, listen, man, uhm, I don't feel any, uh, symptoms. I'm not taking the medicine because you got that four and two. Right. See, they don't want to take that medicine and say, hey, let's go ahead and get this quarterback so we can heal this up right now. If you wait, you gonna lose the next two games. You get in another situation where you don't have the leeway to save


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the first thing, there's a lot of semantics involved. The first thing is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't agree and this is a fraternity when it comes to players and other players. You know, the NFL players go through a lot of different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's a lot of people who get injured and are trying to fight to get back on the field. There's a lot of people that are permanently injured when you play this game of football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I find it very ironic that as, as a member that played in that elite fraternity that you would not, that you would go to that level as to insinuate that this man was just faking it for the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now everybody, you've been in a locker room. That's a character assassination. That's saying, that's saying that you, you, you not honest. That's saying that you weak. That's saying that you lazy. That's saying that you don't care about your teammates. That's it. Like you don't get to that level by being lazy. You don't get to that level to do that. So I felt like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You commenting on another player, especially at the quarterback position is, is egregious. Find me where Peyton Manning is going out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Criticizing Tom Brady. Find Tom Brady going out criticizing Joe Breese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just doesn't happen. So I didn't like that part. The second part I didn't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was upset about that, you know, when I heard it, is he's talking about it being a trust fund baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, let's be clear, if you don't know what Deshaun Watson's upbringing is, his mother raised four children, uhm, a single parent, multiple jobs, and she had to do that all while fighting tongue cancer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had to have her tongue removed because she had cancer and she still went to work and on two jobs raised her four kids by herself and they came from a poor world area and, and, you talk about trust fund?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See my problem is, you just looking into 230. And here's how I know you got a little bit of jealousy in that. You said 230 as in referencing Powerball. He thinks Deshaun Watson hit the Powerball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked up his contract. When he played for the Browns, he made about nine million dollars. That's life changing money to some people. He stole nine million dollars. And so, and that's the second, third thing. Brady Quinn, when was you an Ironman? I'm confused, Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You went through injuries. You missed 2008 season with a fractal pinky finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I came from, you want to see every single man be able to take care of his family. I want, listen, we laugh at Jay all the time because we be like, oh, Jay got the Hoos back. Jay worked his ass off to get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He put that work in. I'm not going to signuate that this man got here just by, just by osmosis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want everybody to produce and make go to the next level and be able to take care of their children. You don't think Deshaun Watson and that $230 million ain't taking care of numerous people? Yes, it's taking care of those people. My thing is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And about the massage thing and we'll get to the last part because I don't want to be long-winded. You better than that, Brady Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a wife and daughter. I think so too. You better than that. And here's what I'm gonna say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you really, a lot of people believe in coming out with your sexual assault members and people who have been sexually assaulted and you was upset at Deshaun Watson because of the allegations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm starting to re- I'm starting to rethink that because if you were so ex- you know, thrown back by the allegations that you don't like him, why would you then put this message out that in a way makes light of sexual assault? How about this, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if that was one of your kids that came out and said they alleged that? And I'm putting up tweets talking about ha ha ha. If that's the first thing you want to talk about is the joke that everybody seems to be wanting to talk about. How much do you care about sexual assault because you're making light of it in your tweets and you couldn't wait to say it. So my thing is this. I've been talking a long time but it's the end of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna say nothing and I've caught myself sometimes when you, when you critiquing people. When you critique somebody, talk about what they do in the field. Talk about their play. Talk about, but don't talk about nobody's character. Don't talk about nobody's family and leave that off because people be wanting to really come see you about that stuff and he's better than that anyway. He should know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's earned it. I wonder why. And you know why? It comes back to $230 million. Yea, that, people have a big problem with that. They have, because it, it's such an astro, for, for so many people, that's so much money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This ain't the first time he been out of pocket. This guy was the same dude that came on air before the draft and said CJ Stroud was followed in the draft because he didn't go to the manning camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he ghosted him. Yeah, CJ ghosted him. The manning's a royalty and you just can't do that or you're gonna fall down. You gotta kiss the ring. And you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan Clark said this. Shout out to Ryan Clark for doing, doing the homework. He said, oh no, no, no. See, I went and I talked to CJ Stroud and the Mannings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's unequivocally false. He never said he was gonna go to that camp. He wasn't getting paid to come do it. And he never committed to doing that. So you saying that two to three weeks before somebody's biggest day of their life? How many times have we seen people throw comments out there and take people's draft stops?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He should understand that because he was a guy who fell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe that. I hate it. I kind of get this story all the time, man. Sometimes you don't even come back from this. One of the most hurtful things that you can have is when you have a bunch of injuries and you're trying to get back on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sitting here telling people, like, why would, I want to go to college. I need to get a, I need to get a scholarship. I ain't going, I ain't going to college if I, if I'm not doing it this way. Why would I, why would I say I don't want to play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the most hurtful thing you can say to a player. Because don't you understand that people be giving they, they body. Like, people get hurt and their bodies are done the rest of their lives. It's happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's happened. And so why would you get in somebody's head and say, oh well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna use my head rationality to prove that I don't think you tough enough to play. And by the way, which is it, people? Which is it? And I know you don't want to talk about Baker Mayfield, but which is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when Baker Mayfield went out there and he was hurt, everybody said he should have sat. Everybody said he should have sat. Everybody. Now, you said, well, at least, at least he had guts to go out there and play terribly. Now you want Deshaun Watson to do the same. Make the same mistake. Which, which, which is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would respect his opinion as an analyst and sometimes I even have to learn this. You don't have to have hot takes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Derek Anderson eventually lost his job. Brady Quinn came in. However, it was at the end of the season. So Brady Quinn had some up games, some down games. Actually, it kind of looked like the first three games that Sean Watson played this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a really good game, uh, he had a so-so game and the team won. He had a horrible game and the team got smashed. And then there was another game where it was like, oh, he played his best game. After that happened, he ends up fracturing his finger. He fractures his finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he continues to try to play through it. He tried to play through it. He says, and this is in Cleveland.com, you go check it out. He tried to play through it and it gets worse. So then the fracture turns into he needs to get surgery on a ligament in his throwing hand, in his finger. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the outside looking it in, people will say, how tough is a finger injury? Like, people make fun of stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's critical. It's critical. So, so I would have enjoyed Brady Quinn saying, hey, let me give you a story. This, this thing happened to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I think it's a travesty. Think about this. Deshaun Watson, instead of having his general manager and his coach be on messaging, he has to depend on Tom Palacero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To come out and say, this is actually a thing, and tamp down some of these fires. Why can't the baski do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we possibly are going to have PJ Walker coming here. And you know, it's weird. I picked the Browns to beat the 49ers at home, but I've always marked this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If PJ Walker is the quarterback, I'm going into one of the most difficult places to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put it in your chat right now, man. What y'all want me to give away? Man, you go, go, go, go on the busslinebeauty.com backslash the barbershop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pick something that you want me to give away, and tomorrow we'll give that away to a few lucky people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they do not make a trade, Jay, I'm sorry to say it. I know. They've been given, they've been given backdoor deals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've already, they've already signed, and, and this won't be a punt, this won't be a gentleman's punt. This is a, this is a medical punt here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta say this first, congratulations to your daughter. I've been checking out on Twitter. You've been posting some stuff. See out here looking top five in the game right now, man. She's doing her thing, man. Salute to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all know what question I'm about to ask you, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this question, Brad. Cause Evan Mobley, to me, he's a unicorn. We was looking for the unicorn status. We want that. Now, I seen this dude, Wimby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can he play at the elbow? Can he be a facilitator if they give him the ball and he's at the nail?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this. Uhm, you look at the trade. Do you believe that the Cavs would have been better off letting Mobly develop, letting Garland develop and keeping, uh, more marketing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have a line up where you got a Lori marketing, you got a Mowgli, you got Allen, you got Garland, and you still go get Struce and Yang. Would you like that better? Is that vibe better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bus. A bus, yes. If he, if he gets, cause he's, he's not the first dude off the bench. You got Keris Lebert gonna come off the bench. Uh, Ty, uh, Jerome gonna come off the bench. Uh, you gon, you got. George's. Neang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you like Boston? Do you like what they do with Prezegas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is, where is Joker as far as a big man? Like, cause it seems like a lot of, like the other old vets, they're getting on board with being like, I can't lie, he nice. Where does he stand? Where does he stand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's actually the one that's basically reporting on his health to the media. Which I find to be peculiar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I was telling the guys before the show started, for my dad, it was two things he really took serious. It was the time that he served this country, and it was the two million miles that he drove on an 18-wheeler, and outside of his birthday,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, me and my brother used to rush to be the first to tell my dad, happy veterans day. And so when he passed away, I made sure that I merged like anything I could with him serving the military and anything I could with him, uh, driving them trucks together. And it turned out to be real beautiful. So happy veterans day, pops. Love you. Absolutely. And once again, I want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just real quick, Minshew against Baltimore, 27 to 44, 247 yards of touchdown, no turnover. That's damn good game. Yeah, no that's a really good game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were playing quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and you had an elite defense like the Browns currently do behind you, how would that change your mindset knowing that you don't have to go out and score 50 points every game to be able to get a win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Bernie, we saw the 49ers maybe kind of fall into a trap game situation against the Browns last week. So we look ahead to the Colts. We may be seeing a similar situation where the Colts could be a trap game on the Brown schedule. So in the week of preparation leading up to this game, what do the Browns have to do to avoid falling into a trap?

[Assistant] The first one guys is an Amari Cooper question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Willamari Cooper have 100 or more receiving yards against the Colts. And this was a pretty even answer. Steve, let's show the good people out there how they responded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Steve, take it, please. Yes. A 4-3 split. Bull, myself, Tyvis said he will not have a hundred. J, G, Earl, and Jason said yes. Explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We asked the question last week, McCaffrey receiving yards compared to that trio and it turned out to be 19 to 9. So it was very close. Well, McCaffrey did get hurt by the way. And that's why the Browns ended up winning and McCaffrey not been hurt. So that trio had 19 yards last week. Yes. Let's get to our last one guys.

[Assistant] But the Browns should. Mikey McNuggets. Yea, we're a family TV show, but I'm not sure we would be able to. How about my headline here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real quick, one note from Kevin Stefanski speaking on the Sean Watson, quote, I want to see how it responds over the next 48 hours, but he looked good. He will be a game time decision on. Wow. Very good. That's a great way to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought he played really well, like, like, with the little receivers he had, catch was open, he was getting rid of the ball, like, you know what I'm saying, like, he split carries between Akers and Madison, like, you know, he came out there and showed, I don't think he's, I think he's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would think that going with that defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, listen, out of the guys that you sent me, I'm not going to tell you who they are because we'll go through them. Uhm, I got Jacoby Brissetta at eight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason I have him, and Mike gave a specific, you know, he wanted to be realistic, fun meter, all that above, but I think it's the most realistic of the best of the best besides, uhm, we just talked about the Kirk Cousins. Because he's been here, the money is minimal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people, the guys in the locker room love him, just watch the interaction after the game when they play Washington. He knows the system, uh, he played the best, the best football of his life under Kevin Stefanski, and I believe that the team would get such a big jolt of energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it would be like, okay, now, this is what we talking about. We can win some games with him. Just like Kareem Hunt coming back. Yup. That's exactly what I'm looking at. And, even, even this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deshaun Watson has already had him, is already comfortable with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm on IR. I'm going to get mad. I'm going to be upset. It's going to cause locker room problems because they've already did this song and dance. And Jacoby Brissette plays his role, the best I've ever played it. He's the best mistress quarterback in the game. Placeholder. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, this is the mistress quarterback. He's not telling on nobody. He takes it to the grave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love you to death, and this guy doesn't have a problem not being a wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you go back and watch it, Tyvers, there are games when Jacoby Brissett is low key lights out. But I don't trust him in a big spot. They did a lot of games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody. Nobody. I mean he did give you two game winning drives though. He did it in Carolina. He did it against Tampa Bay. He did. That's two last year. It's a pretty good team. He also made some big mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I think if you, just go by the, the, I guess the, the hear test, not the eye test, the hear test. If you hear PJ Walker is starting at Seattle, be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played in one of some games. I think people like guys that look like they haven't played a lot, like Andy Dalton or Big Set, because you know what they are, and they know what they are. When you get somebody like Cooper Rush, you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or could he be, could he be a guy that you could keep long term? Like he has that type of energy around him. And just for excitement purposes, I would go for six on this on a scale of one to ten. I'd give him six Kool-Aid meter heads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, that's kinda low. Nick Folz, excuse me. Nick Folz, yeah. Nick Folz. I thought you liked Nick Folz. That's kinda low for me, right? Yeah, Nick Folz. Uh, no, the, the, the, Nick Folz is okay, but he been out to game a little bit, um, and you gotta, you gotta take into consideration what Tyva said, unless he's gonna wake up and be mobile tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he might not fit the description of what they want in Cleveland. Like, he can throw the football, I would bring him in, but I just don't see. Like, if I heard that headline, Brown's bringing Nick Foles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though he's better than P.J. Walker, I just can't see it. I just can't. Like, so, uhm, you know, I give 4 out of 10 Kool-Aid heads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you heard that from Adam Schefter, and I got a feeling in my heart that the Browns are not going to make a move either, uhm, I would like them to, but they aren't, I believe


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been given a de facto another year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the way this year started with Deshaun Watson. Oh wow. I don't believe that. I believe they will be, I believe they have a guarantee that they will be back. Given the circumstances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I would have gave him probably a 77. I see, that's what I'm thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's the thing though, I would like to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They- when you- to have, like, scientific method accurate, right? You have to do experiments and controls to make sure every experiment is done the same way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no. I think it's unfair. What do you think he should have had? So I got it at a B+. I thought he would have at least a 70. What did it have him at? 63. So he was a 63.
