[Assistant] They rewrote the record book. Randy Moss came into New England and it was like Michael Strahan


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a good defense by all accounts, but it wasn't up there with the Bears, the Ravens, the Buccaneers and some of those. They stopped the unstoppable train and won the Super Bowl with great defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't like they got smoked in that Super Bowl. However, the history books, when we're all gone a hundred years from now, they'll look up that page and they'll say, huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All time greatest offense we'd ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did take the L in the Super Bowl to a really good defense. That's why I- Is that a better offense than the Kurt Warner Rams offense? It was for me and statistically it was no doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In every category. And I remember when I watched it, I said I've never seen anything like this. Even the greatest show on turf, which was phenomenal. How many Super Bowls did they win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One. And now, if we're gonna use ifs...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did they not win more? Well what happened was the team got fractured. If you watch that 30 for 30 that they did on that team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they scored like whatever, 55 points or whatever that number was. And at the end of the game, when they could have given the great Walter Payton, who did not score a touchdown in the Super Bowl, they gave the ball to the refrigerator, who was a massive story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was the greatest team ever. Remember, when they won that Super Bowl, they didn't carry Mike Ditka off the field. They carried Buddy Ryan off the field. Think about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only game they lost was to the Dolphins, it was on a Monday night, fairly late in the season, and they were essentially protecting the franchise's legacy as the only team to go undefeated throughout the whole season and then win the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she's part of the broadcast team for the Colts Browns on Sunday. Again, you'll see locally here on CBS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was he handling things through five games? Because he came in, not as a savior, but he came in as a guy who everybody expected big things from him. Tons of hype. And there was a lot of hype around him. And yeaah, he is gobbling up some catches, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fair. Well, the one outlier, though, Aditi, was the Baltimore game. And I know that they were, you know, they gave the Ravens two short fields. Uh, but even taking that out of the mix, the Ravens had success moving the football against the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've kind of come to the conclusion that what's different from the Ravens and all the others is that they have a quarterback that they really have to be afraid of hurting them with his legs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A likely conclusion as to why Baltimore has had the most success against this Brown's defense because they have a running quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to see a matchup between the Dolphins and the Browns in the playoffs because it is a fascinating example of, you know, the unstoppable force, uh, versus the immovable object and see how that thing shakes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they are 0-5 in the turnover battles, yet they're 3-2 in the win-loss column. They could have, had the Steelers not forced that strip sack fumble, they'd be 4-1 and they still would have lost the turnover battle in that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take all of that in, remember all of the nuances to all of, that's one play call. You know, in an average game plan, what would you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you guys know I love all you guys. We have become legit family, all my family here. That's right, we can say anything to anybody. One of the most egregious things I think I've heard in the 18 months we've been doing this show is Bull asking if he's stronger than me right now. In a weight room sense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I texted Jack, who's a new salesperson. I said, Jack, very important question. Did Jay leave Tyvis hanging on the bench yesterday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus you help UCSS, UCSS out on the back end. We appreciate it. If you're going to buy Brown's gear, you better do your shopping at Fanatics.com. Andrew Berry just finished up his bi-week press conference and he had a lot of interesting things to say guys. Most importantly, interesting is a little strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think it was pretty interesting, especially the communication and how the whole- If by interesting you mean-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what was your biggest takeaway? Was that it? I think that was the fact that he went a different route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the biggest position on the field, a quarterback, in the decision to play Deshaun, not play, whose decision it was. Right. On Monday, Kevin Stefansi said one thing, Barry took a hard right turn today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running centric offense, and then obviously when he couldn't play, you have a backup in. Right. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys all heard Barry's answer. What was your take on how he answered that question? Cause I thought Tony very eloquently put it in a way. It was a really good question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta bring in our next guest in one sec. Before we do, I wanna remind everybody, tonight at 6 o'clock, after the barbershop, which is at 3 to 4, the Behind the Glass crew is getting together for another edition of Behind the Glass. Myself, Anthony Earle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be talking a little Cavs Media Day, behind the scenes stories, a little reaction to what Andrew Berry said, a little brown stock and answering your guys' fans' questions about everything you need to know behind the scenes at UCSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this actually backs up what both Leroy and G have been saying, how Stefanski didn't necessarily help out DTR and Leroy, maybe you could talk about the difficulty of a quarterback in empty formations, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ran empty on 28% of DTR's drop backs against Baltimore. 28%, 12 out of 43 drop backs were from empty sets. To put that into context.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just mentioned, uh, A-Chan, A-Chan. I've actually known him since he was 16. He was in our coverage area in Texas. He was Devon A-Chan since he was 16 years old. Then he scores four touchdowns in the NFL and decides to change it to A-Chan. I covered him in high school. I've known him for seven years now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PFF calculates their grades for every single player in every single game. He said they have a staff of 70 plus who watch the plays, they track it, they bring in the analyst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We as fans usually remember a handful of plays. They look at every single play. And he admitted it's not a perfect science, but he thinks they do as good a job as any. So we've been doing this the last couple of weeks. It's been a very popular segment. So we're going to bring it back today with a little different fashion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're gonna give me a happy face if you think he graded higher than the number I give you. A sad face if you think it's lower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was the lowest graded brown in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a statgy, he threw to his first read on 74% of his attempts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, next up, Elijah Moore, over under a 49.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was essentially a 56 to a 52 on all three categories. Receiving, rushing, which I don't know how. This one I, he had one rush. We had one rush for negative 20 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and they gave him 52 for rushing. He got a 58.6 in rushing. Can we get Sam back on the line? By the way? I don't get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A 62 PFF grade for his performance against Baltimore. See, now I'm, I'm of the mindset that he's trying to fool us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had, according to PFF, he had 8 tackle opportunities, 2 missed. So 25% missed tackle rate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our favorite. A guy we don't say by name, but we'll just call him number 71. Number 71 had a 41.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't see the exact quote, but essentially this is paraphrased from Hayden Grove. He said Brown's general manager Andrew Berry said Jed Wills would be the first to tell you he hasn't played well yet this season. He needs to play better and will. So that's basically Andrew saying let me be the second to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put a bigger picture to what he's kind of hammering home. You can't really dial up deep shots because your quarterback can't get his feet set to throw the ball 30, 40 yards down the field. You are hesitant to call intermediate shots because assuming any quarterback in this system will have more than two and a half seconds to throw the ball is a gamble and you can only run the ball to really half the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little tease on Friday, I am about 60% of the way done, but I got a deep dive into some stats on the offensive line for the grounds through four games, which granted is four games. It's not the entire picture, but some stats to put into context.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not saying his name, we are moving on to our next guy. Our next PFF guest, uh, the guy who played with Burns this weekend. He was also questionable. He did show up. He led the team in catches, led the team in receiving yards, David and Joku over under a 64. I have not got one right yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul has finally got on right. Joku did score higher than the 65A, 67.6 grade. I thought he played great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His run grade was not great. His overall split, just so you guys are aware, and this is shocking. Miles Garrett, you never see these numbers. A 63.7 overall grade, a 29.4 run defensively, and a 91.4 pass rush grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a 64.5 run block, uh, run defensive grade, a 51.8 coverage grade. He was thrown at two times, he allowed two receptions for 13 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Elijah Moore's best catch in the last 10 months. And his life. His life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you guys to forget that this was a bad grade before Tyvis tries to make the case. And rightfully so, that he could be the best safety football. How about Lamar Jackson over under a 74 for his performance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a trap. Jay and Tyvis read me correctly. I think I got just about every one of them. 70.7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Past grade was an 83, his run grade, because the fumble. Yeah, that hurt him. And that is why he fell. That is a little bit of the PFF grades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the Browns Ravens game. We'll keep finding creative ways to do that. Before we get to our next topic on Grant Delpit, I want to remind the good people out there that every week in the two minute warning, there is the UCSS post game. So myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G Bush Earl the Pearl live reaction, either a celebration or a therapy session. It is the number one rated Brown's post game show in the market. So make sure you guys tune in and check out after every Brown's game. There's no game or post game show this weekend. It's the bye week, but we will be back next week for San Francisco. Tyvis, I asked you to do a little homework and I asked you yesterday before the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it possible to make the case that Grant Delpitt is playing better than any other safety in football through the first four weeks of the season? And I do think there is some numbers to pull up here that could help make that case. So as our resident safety


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are former professional defensive back on UCSS? Am I crazy for asking that question or is there some validity to how well Grant Elplit's been playing this game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at the coverage stats specifically, in time, this is what you call an alley and an oop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grant Delpit has played 53 fewer coverage snaps than Jesse Bates. If you go to the average stat per snap calculations.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got some super chats. First one's from Bob Byler. He says we need a running back before the Niners game or the season is over. Ooh, that's harsh. That's ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, next up from Uncle Rico, Forget the Mountain Run. Uh, no, I say that back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenny Moss says Bull, the game and a half without Nick Chubb, one full game with the rookie quarterback, he knew Watson wasn't playing when he called the plays, still no excuse?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hyperfrosty says, would you trade Jedwills for a bag of chips? No. Depends on how hungry I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Andrew Thomas is hurt, so they had a bum I never heard of my entire life. Worst left tackle I've ever seen. Yeah, I never heard of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was 10. Daniel Jones got sacked 10 times, and then the backup got sacked once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well you don't have to, well you give it away, but don't give away any of their offensive line stats because that's one of the nuggs you've got. But you give this one away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neil of the Giants. Yep. And Wills of the Browns. Yeah. Barely. Both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alabama, yeah. And you usually feel pretty confident drafting an Alabama offensive lineman. Usually do. And through at least two seasons for Neil and three seasons now for Will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh boy, you look up that, let me get these last three super chats in, then we'll bring in DJ Haz, uh, Bdog20, uh, firstCharlesT, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many games this year has Jed Wills lost us? The defensive touchdown against Pittsburgh. He didn't even move the play that hurt Watson's shoulder last week. Last week we can't run to his side. Uh, the play that Watson hurt his shoulder wasn't, uh, I thought that was more on Deshaun. I mean, it was a QB power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G Bush is right. Everyone complains about Stefanski's play calling, but the all 22 does not lie. You can clearly see where the breakdown is on every play. It's not the play calling, guys. So how?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Daryl says, UCSS rocks. The best guys in the panel is all of them. Love you guys from Daryl. Daryl, we love you too. And James Cosby says, if we're talking GMs and analytics, we're already losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's funny cause I email has every week, I text them and I say has every time and I don't know why my brain froze. It was an embarrassing moment. I'm sorry to all my people out there cause that, that put us in a really bad light. Like has, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. That will never happen again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would make sense if Washington would do it, but they need a backup. Jake Fromm isn't ready to be the backup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Sam Howell, and Sam Howell has been taking sax at a record rate, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the problem with a team looking to improve its backup quarterback. You need to find a team that has two and is willing to give up one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just have one that is clearly game ready and you're hoping to actually win some football games, it makes no sense to trade him. Now, if the commanders are willing to sell off any assets because we just want to stockpile picks for next year because we know that we're not going to be a contender this year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And new ownership that I believe is just waiting until the season ends to press the reset button and fire everybody. So, organizationally, it's a weird dynamic. Whether it's Berset, Chase Young, Montez Sweat, any of the names that might be available, you gotta get everybody on the same page about whether or not we're gonna move on from players. And if you move on from Berset,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there were that many last year, but I have no reason to doubt it. It seems like a lot. And the problem is, the deadline's too early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should be moved later into the regular season. They added a week to the regular season in 2021. They haven't added a week to the trade deadline. It's too early for the teams that are done to recognize that they're done and maybe they're not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there's the reality that if you go out and trade for a guy now, especially offensive, I think it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you better be certain you're getting to the playoffs if you're going to make that move because it may not help you get there and if you're a team hovering around 500, what's the point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're not going to get the best out of this offensive player until we get there. So I think there's a lot of factors that go into it. And, and then at the end of the day, you got to get the two teams to agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's funny, every year there's a handful of big name guys and it's usually someone else that we're not thinking about. You know, I'm keeping an eye on Josh Uche, the pass rusher from the Patriots because he's in the last year of his contract and the Patriots typically don't pay market value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like yesterday, Leonard Williams, boom. Although his name was starting to surface over the weekend, he lands in Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, again, it takes a lot. And if I'm Devonte Adams, who said last week in an interview with Rich Eisen, he's happy with the Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want to trade your guys in order to get the best possible offer for them. The best leverage for any trade conversation is, I'm just gonna keep the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks like it's not happening. With Will Loves in place now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sitting and waiting and trying to get the most they can for some of these guys. For the Titans, I really do think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there's a belief, especially from variable, that they can maybe salvage this season and compete for a playoff spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So far it's been a disaster. It may turn around. And just as it looked like it was turning around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went to Shawn Watson, said he's playing. Friday at his locker, he said he's playing. Sunday he didn't play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monday, Stefanski says he was medically cleared. I think to me that's the best evidence that there's something going on there. And no one has come out and said, clearly and unequivocally, that everything's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three years ago you were playing for the Texans and you decided you didn't want to anymore. Just months after getting a massive contract from them. So, we've seen that you can fall out of love with your current team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're not going to come out and say it publicly. He never said publicly he didn't want to play for the Texans again, but we knew it. So there is something there. There's something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have come together and maybe they just need to lock arms and tell the world everything's fine. And I still don't know at this point we're gonna believe it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have the potential to do it. They really do. It's, look, these games are too close. Wins become losses. Losses become wins. If they could just stabilize the offense. And I was a big proponent of going out and trading for Derek Henry. Forget about getting a quarterback. Get Derek Henry in Cleveland. The guy who is the modern day Jim Brown. Wouldn't he be perfect?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but, they are constructed to be dangerous if they get there. There's a lot of work they need to do to get there. We'll see how the next nine games go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gee. Bull, it's Gee Bush, captain of the Kool-Aid Mafia. I'll tell you why. You will actually enjoy watching this game, even though Deshaun Watson is not playing. Jason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After watching the All 22 last week, a couple weeks ago against the Ravens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR missed a lot of wide open guys on the check down. The release valve guy, David and Joku chipping, helping Jeb Wills is opening the flats guys. Listen, the running backs that are chipping and blocking, they're opening the flats guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit the check down, give you guys a little opportunity to make some moves, get some yardage after catch, and let's stay within the sticks. No big sacks, no running around, and let's make sure that we can stay in first, second, third and manageable. That's how you'll be able to compete in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta actually be able to do something with what you got in the stables. I would, I would respect him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's able to do something he didn't do last week, which is get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, DTR in a position to make easy, comparable throws that he can be confident and build some momentum with. You got PJ Walker in this game as well. I don't want to see the 5-Y, Kev.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not no five wide. Turn around and hand it off. I understand you're gonna have to throw the football, but always give these guys a run pass option. Because when you're playing a defense like this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be uphill battle. I think that he was never really too much of a genius, but I will give him credit if he can come in with a great defense like this and keep this game close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I expect him to go blow for blow, toe for toe. You know, you got, uh, Nick Bosa, who was one of the best defensive pass rushers in the game. You look at Miles Garrett, who was, who was a great pass rusher in his own right, wants to be defensive player of the year. And I think what Schwartz is, Jim Schwartz is going to do is he's going to capitalize on the fact that they had a terrible opportunity or a terrible time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stopping and running against the Baltimore Ravens. Misdirection things. Lamar Jackson got loose. I think Jim Schwartz has his guys motivated. If you notice, we've been hearing a lot of whispers from offense and people. We ain't heard nothing from nobody on defense. That means I believe they'll be focused and they're gonna make this game money, Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Trent Williams is by far the best left tackle in the game. Uh, you said earlier,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100% in his pass rush or pass blocking efficiency. Miles Gare is by far the most double-team guy in the game. I'm going to actually surprisingly give this match up to Miles Gare for one reason. Jim Schwartz has unlocked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's letting him move around. Miles Garrett won't be on Trent Williams every single time. He'll be over the center, he'll be over the three technique, he'll be on the right hand side, left hand side. He'll do a lot of things to get Miles Garrett open and have matchups, uh, and move away from Trent Williams a little bit. It'll be more of a moving scheme for Miles Garrett. I give him, uh, the go ahead for this matchup. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma tell you why, I drank Kool-Aid right before I came on air, and I'ma tell you what, Jim Schwartz is not playing around with Kyle Shanahan. 8-1, his defenses have been everywhere, he's played in four different places, and his defenses have still dominated Kyle Shanahan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this. Hey, the Cleveland Browns offense is going to be limited because there is no Deshaun Watson. That ain't got nothing to do with this defense. They're big, they're bad, they're fast. They playing at home and it's wet and rainy. Guess what? I got the Browns, Kool-Aid mafia in the building. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are getting all the way reduced, but he was doing them young boys. You can see the desperation in they face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need a hundred. Y'all, y'all. I need a hundred now. Uh, so Tyvis, this is why, you know, this is a very, this was the obvious call. When you're doing a hundred, the reason you do a hundred is you can protect yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I know that there's less room for injury if he just throws the ball down contact. I know for a fact now that he can protect himself, he can run, he can throw, he can make all the passes and he comfortable. If I get to 100,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I can say to myself, I can run everything I want to. I'm not, like, I don't have any inhibitions about, you know, him throwing a ball downfield. And the biggest reason is, I already know that I gotta, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A top defense, a Super Bowl defense. And if I could steal a game in Indianapolis with a backup quarterback to get him to a hundred, I'll do it. I don't even care if you start patting, you know, wins, you get to four and two, hopefully, you know, unlike looking ahead. But even if you go into Seattle and he's like 90%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess what? I've won a couple of games in a row that give me a nice opportunity to say, we not trippin' like that. We got Arizona, warm weather. Is they playin' Arizona at home or in Cleveland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, nice and warm. It's a, it's a nice climate. You don't have to worry about the weather or whatever. You could get warmed up. That thing won't tighten up on them again. And then I would shoot for them. That's just a hundred percent because you know, you now have a defense that can keep you afloat even if you don't play your best game. You know what I love about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Thomas, I do understand what you're saying, like people trying to take their foot off the gas, but I haven't seen that with the Jim Schor's defense. I haven't seen, I haven't seen them wrestle on their laurels this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they still ain't even played their A game. That's the part that, that why I don't think they'll fall off. To me, as I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defensively? Nope. Because look, Zedaria Smith, he don't even have a sack this year. Right. Uh, Greg Newsom, no pick yet. He dropped it. Right? Uh, Martin Emerson just got a sore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is if you got it, effort. If you got effort week to week, you may not be always be able to execute, but effort cleans up a lot of different things. And I haven't seen, I have not seen the Browns have a problem with effort and Jim Schwartz getting it out of them.

[Assistant] At the same time the ball was getting there. Yeah, like it's crazy. It's like he's, and that's what Jim Short said. He said, you know, we don't look at the stats about it, man. You know, the stats can be the crazy where you look at it and say, well, he doesn't have any interception. He doesn't have any sacks. He only had one quarterback hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not what it's about. There's lots of times where you can have a great pass rush, you can win, you can be about to get home, quarterback steps up, and somebody else gets the sack. Not even that, it's him in the rush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and the great thing about it is, Leighton, see, see defense, I, I, this is the age-old thing. Would you, would you rather have an all-time great offense or an all-time great defense? I'm biased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, when you have an all-time great defense, I'm biased. It's tough to get anything off. Like I've seen all-time great defenses put Randy Moss and Tom Brady on ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I, I can't believe they, they went through the whole year, did not lose, and that pass rush with the Giants, uh, uh, with, with Tuck, and, and, and your boy, uh, Ose and, and, uh, Strayham was ridiculous. They could get the ball off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with you, it's kinda scary to kinda project where the browns could go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But their performance opens up your mind a little bit and it gives you the freedom to say okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if? Like, okay, this is, this is, this is something new. Let's figure out where we can go with this. And my thing is, if they can get PJ Walker to stop throwing interceptions, uhm, and I watched, last night I watched your All 22. What's your takeaway? All 22 last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was crazy. Oh my goodness. He hit him with a two-step so bad, it was so bad, he was so open. There's a lot of times in the run game I know people keep saying, well the run game's not working, well the run game's not working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It shows you what you'll do. If you run for 160 yards, they could have ran for more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the one thing that is evident before we go to you, Mikey, I don't want to see Elijah Moore no reverses. There's lanes there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just, he needs to put his foot in the ground and get vertical. Well it was evident because Marquise got in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Mikey, before you do that, like I gotta say something. Mikey just did something, and I like to talk about things that are outlawed now, even though you think they're harmless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for the Steelers just basically ran back a kick and Kelly went through for like 400 yards, they ended up losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was in 07 he had them touchdowns, but he had some drops though. So starting off that year, he had dropped like three or four bombs, just right in his hands, wide open. Well, Braylon Edwards comes back, he catches the football in this game, and I believe, uhm, was Ruben Drones on that team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they was up throwing, one named Dennis Bird, who was pitching?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, if it wasn't for that, I knew Jay was gonna, I thought he was gonna go to the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Baker Mayfield comeback in Cincinnati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like, he had, like, he would, he would be playing and he would be, like, people used to say he's not a good practice player. Uhm, but he was, if Baker was playing, he's open every player. It was amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Elijah Moore. It's PJ. I'm gonna go with PJ Walker. He's not should be in this list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Walker played not at the Euphoria, you know, we done had a lot of, lot of surgeries, Jay. You done had some surgeries too. You know when that Novocaine or when that, when that anesthesia wear off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, because here's the thing, the one thing that they, here's, here's how they can make it better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they are already in conjunction with the league, right? Yeaah. If they can get every NFL team to give them the call sheet, that'll never happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched that man play the game of his life in Cleveland. Because he can't, because it's physically impossible. You can't have a 61 or 69.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Catchable! You broke two guys ankles! And PFF gives you a 61? No. Cause not running gotta be a 99. Has to be. Has to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when you talk about, you know, Deshaun Watson, he usually speaks, you know, during the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, some people last week had a problem or issue with him not speaking because they said, hey, you know, his teammates are going to have to answer those questions, uhm, week after week or game after game. Uhm, what went into the thought process of, you know, him not speaking, uhm, obviously,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're not playing, you don't have to speak, that's the rule. But what went into that thought process? Just concentrating on getting back on the field? Or what went into that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what's going wrong with the Elijah Moore thing? It just seems like it just hasn't worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know, they've been trying to do a lot of different ways to get him to football when they give the ball in reverses. Seems like he's a little hesitant to cut the ball up. It just doesn't seem he has the vision on those plays. What's been going wrong with that? And do the Browns see it like you see it? They need to get another guy in there that can help out the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I worry about football stuff. How does that help? That's not a Kool-Aid worthy nugget right there. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He run like he got lineman knee braces on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you're talking about Soutland. Oh, I thought I was about to say. The boy got a diesel knee brace. It shifted into gear. He's still wearing the knee brace? I said he run like he got one. That's even worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has the council stricken his reverse plays from the playbook? Who? Elijah Moore?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. To Marquis Goodwin. Transferable. Western Union him joints right on over to him. I like how he got upfield. Uh, but yeaah, like. But that's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Nick Chubb is not ready to come back at the beginning of the next year, I'd consider assigning him to another one year deal. And I'd give him 13 million. Would he get 10, 11? I'd give him 13, 14 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can die out here, bro. And he's going to be like, well look, I just want to stay here, bro. I'm not trying to go to no other team. Give me 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was thinking, and I was thinking, best case scenario. That's like, mm-hmm. Best case scenario for me was, oh, they ain't gonna bring him back to Seattle. He'll come back, play Arizona, right? See if he can get some wins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I was in sweat so much that I just felt like I should get the school back some money. I'm like, listen, I gotta, let me go ahead and repay you. Like, cause I'm just never doing nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ain't that, when you, and we went there, we went to, you know, we got to play in a swamp in Florida, and I'm just sitting there on crutches just like, this is terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns can win the Super Bowl with Kurt Cousins. With his defense. With his defense. It would be like what the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think he's just, he's above. To me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a step above, um, average. I agree with that. Like, he's good. I think he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's good, like, it's not like he's trash. Who's, Kirk Cousins? Yeaah. He's just average. I think he's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not letting him in our building. You pay his fifth year. You should be really squared up. Like when people say I don't want to give no picks up, just ask yourself, where the heck is Cedric Tillman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Gotta have it. I would take that one too. That wasn't a bad trade either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about Imani Bates, sir? Listen, clap it up. Listen, you see I have my Cavs guard on today. Listen man, imagine people telling me this dude is going to be in the G League.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine people saying, he might not even, listen, Jason Lloyd, I don't know, this, this might be your second worst one. You swung him, it's on Dwayne Jones, and now, Imani Bates is out here BOOLIN'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact of the matter is, now I told you when Summer League started, dude, what is he good at? I'm like, this guy's an elite shot maker. He shoots effortlessly. He shoots it with conviction. That's what he does. And confidence. And guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't have to say anything. His head coach had to say it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't say nothing. Steve, tic-tac-board fool. I know you got the quote up there. Let's eat directed now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched him do the same thing against Atlanta Hawks. I'm about to say- Like, I watched him do- After that, I watched him do the same thing- Who did he play in the second game? There ain't no magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me, listen, here's, here's where, here's where Imani Bates


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can help you. Amani Bates is not scared at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of cats and people talk about Dean Wade. I know people like Dean Wade. Dean Wade came up short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year, he got spooked. I don't understand. I'm still trying to figure out what Jason's talk about that Dean Wake was going to get his opportunity to play. But when Kevin, when Kevin Love left, he won in the tank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, if you watch, he's been creepin'. You in my, uh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So will you say, so here's the thing, I will say this McNuggets, you look at the lineup, and you start counting on your hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got Niang, that's six right there. The guy that's coming off the bench first is Caris Levert, that's seven right there. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isaac Kukuro is dying, and the guy that they starting in place of Jared Allen, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's 10 11. So that would mean he will be the 12th dude off the bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would have to literally take Isaac O'Corrill's and Dean Way's minutes. So that would mean he would have to shoot the ball better than Dean Way who shot it well in a preseason. And he would have to upgrade his defense to a point where he's not a liability on a defensive end. That's what scares me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is, what I already even got mad about the fit. He said this is, that's supposed to be, what is it supposed to be? It's supposed to be extra large. Tyvis, you know you a linebacker now. Don't do that, don't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now they got braces? So now, like, think about it, like, I mean, he tore it, like, week, what, two? You gotta think, there's 17 weeks, the season's longer, if the browns go, it's four months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's tough. That's really tough. Hey, go ahead, boo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I jumped in on that. Here's the reason why, uhm, I'm gonna, mind you, the Miami Dolphins, they didn't have Jayden Lotto. And, uh, that was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta go ahead and say it's definitely the Browns. And the reason why it's definitely the Browns is because A, where they came from last year, B, look at like the rules are all predicated towards all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rules say you can't touch nobody, you can't sack anybody, you can't land on them, you can't hit them high, you can't hit them low. Just like the sauce garden commercial for BW3s. The Buffalo asked, what if you hit them high? Penalty. What if you hit them low? Penalty. Guess what? The Cleveland Browns have been getting people on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they've been doing it with no penalties. And the rules are set up for them to shine. The Browns right now, I felt bad for Derrick Henry. It's just not about what they're doing to passers. And we look what Joe Burrow was stifled. We got that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But look what you did to one of the best backs that's been playing for the last 10 years is Derrick Henry. They was hitting him before he could even get going. And this is the crazy part about it. You look at that schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had six games to prove that they were one of the best defenses of all time. They got an opportunity. You can't prove that in six games. You can't prove it in six games. You can't prove that in a regular season either. But here's what you can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sets everybody up for a nice little seven day bye week. Because if they come out here and Lamar Jackson is running around, that means they can shut pocket passers down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing, they so, sometimes on defense you can be so good, ain't even no, there's no opportunity to turn over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'mma go with Joe Petonio because he was playing against Jeffrey Simmons. Simmons is a monster. He is a beast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's hard, it's hard for backers. And Denzel, Denzel Ward looked like he played, I'm gonna go with Zedaria Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if you don't get, if you don't get ops, you ain't get no grades. If you ain't in the play, and you mess up once. Mama have a 12%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, Mary Kay, are you worried about the running game? Uhm, so far, what we've seen from, you know, Ford and Kareem Hunt. Do you think Kareem Hunt is going to be a guy that they mix more in there? Or do you think they might have to go look and bring somebody else in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This next dude, uhm, I just don't understand. I know he's really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amari Cooper is awesome, like, but he just like, I don't understand, like he's one of the most underrated guys in the league, like when you see him out there, he doesn't wear anything flashy, he doesn't have gloves, I think he wears lineman shoes and cleats, like his pads are big, they're clunky, he's not very fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes to game time, nobody can guard him, and I think he's probably one of the most underrated receivers that the Browns have ever had, just because of the lack of pass catchers. I think he's one of the best in Browns, in wearing Brown's uniform. You know, how does Mari Koper just kind of fly under the radar for the Browns?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the Niner game. Right. Yeah, I think that might do that. Ooh, that's, that you, listen, that'd be a lot of people there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On behalf of the Kool-Aid mafia, uhm, and the, uh, black community as a whole, we do not, uh, we do not co-sign hells elves. We will not, uh, be co-signing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta get to this entourage and power thing. I came in, when I, when I, I don't be reading my text messages, they was just like, uh, you know, we got a big guest coming on, I said, practice on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got, I got an acting question. Like, you know, sometimes when we do all this stuff, you kind of scope out, you know, who's good or who's not. I like that take. He's kind of good. He asked conviction. Who's the, like, the biggest actor you were, like, on a set with? And you were just like, this dude is great. This dude is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did say you could talk baseball year-round in New York. Yes. Baseball. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our, our executive director, uh, Steve, he has a question. He says you work with Tom Brady on Entourage. Do you have a good Brady story?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prom jacket G pushes in the building. Making the rest of us look bad, honestly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I probably wasn't as big back then. Did you go to prom? No, I had surgery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? You had what? I had surgery. Like football? Because of football? I had the calf surgery. Right, so. Actually, did I tell you the story before I have an extra bone that grows in my leg, right? That's right, you did tell us that. And they took it out and grew back so I couldn't go to prom. I went to homecoming. That bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that boom will never come out. He's just like, no, I'm going to be here with you like a stalker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to the doctor, my mom tried to be like, you need, you know how parents are, the reason your leg hurts is because you, you're deficient. And we went to the doctor, I was like, you didn't drink milk. You didn't drink milk. I go to mom, uh, the doctor said, my mom thinks I'm going to drink milk. I'm not going to do it. Cause I was still this size. I was like, you can't make me. And the doctor was like, no, he actually has, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Extra calcium in his body. He doesn't need to drink. He don't need to drink. So I'm buying calcium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey man, he gonna have to do his thing. Look, we was on Baker Mayfield when he hurt his little shoulder, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We was like, we didn't care about that. Like, you better get out here. Either you ready to play or you're not ready to play. So sometimes it's like, alright, we going Baker for it. And people keep saying, why do you keep going back to make the comparison? First of all, people, stop being outrageous. You act like you can't, if you hear one man's name, you just pass out. Like, oh my God, Baker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like y'all say, you know, when you lose your running back and you use half your offense, man, it's all hands on deck. If we need him to get a first down, he got to get that first down, dawg. Like, I don't care if you got to slide, dive, whatever it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here's the thing, I'm a firm believer quarterbacks after, quarterbacks after throwing interceptions should just walk off the field. If they run that back, that's how guys get hurt all the time. But that's how Baker got hurt. Because they'd be waiting for you. They're like, oh, like it's an instinct. They're like, okay, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I could take your quarterback out, but he's trying to make a feeble tackle, now his defensive lineman can hit you. The protections are off. Stay inside the country. Do not go abroad. You have protections here. But they will kidnap you guys. They've been trying to get a J in a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was that the case? I thought Dwayne Jones, he had the highest grade out of everybody on online. I think I mentioned Monday


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and like he said, eh, Joe Patonio had like a 50 or something. Like, um, Simmons is a monster. Like he, Simmons was in the backfield and Deshaun Watson, last game, had one of those moves where he just shrugs him off. I don't know. It just seems like he got grease on his legs or something. He shrugged a couple guys off and threw the ball and he's looking downfield. So I, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tennessee Titans, people say what they want. They got a good front. They got traditionally a good defense. He made those throws and made those plays. I think the great part about it is, I feel like he's got the cape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He understands. It's a thing, it's a thing that Stefanski.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could talk about it, and sometimes when you game plan it, it happens like this. You talk about success. You talk about throwing with anticipation, feeling like, hey, just trust what we're doing, it's gonna break open for us. And I think him and Stefanski finally saw that breakthrough where it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, we got this on tape, we got this on film now. So now, now we can add some different things to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went back and watched all 22 of the Pittsburgh Steelers game to kind of figure out like, why did you play that well against Tennessee, but against Pittsburgh? And there were times where he'd have guys coming open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they'd be open, but he didn't trust it. Right. Like he, you know, not throwing with anticipation or looking for a bigger chunk played instead of taking the stuff that's available. And he did that four or five times where he could have had guys and put it on a receiver and let them run after catch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he just didn't, he wasn't confident in throwing it with anticipation. So holding the ball is part of the reason why sometimes quarterback gets sacked. And they see go sometimes. They roll out of the pocket for no reason instead of stepping up and just throwing the ball and they run right into a sack. Yeaah, that happens a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems like they got the roles remixed. Like Harrison Bryant running sneaks. He can, you know what I'm saying, like this dude is getting five wide touches and everything. I really think when you talk about offensively, right? Offense and how productive you are are a function of opportunity and skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if you said, we're going five wide, why would I look at, why would I look at David and Joku? I'd rather throw the ball to Mario Cooper and Elijah Moore. And then when you go with your bigger packages, he's the best blocky tight end you have. So if you're going to say, okay, we got two tighter package, we're going to put one of you in the route.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying he's, I'm not saying that he's the second coming of Ozzy Doosman. I'm not saying that. What I am saying though is, there are times when you see those other guys and you see them spread out like, I'm going with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two receivers, but I'm standing up and spreading out my tight end so I could get a mismatch on a linebacker. You don't really see that, like, and plus you would think that he's a red zone target. Well, use him in a red zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You sound like the guys, and I agree with you, you sound like the guys who do fantasy. When you talk about tight ends, there's three game changers, and the rest of the guys are gonna have one or two games here or there where they blow up a little bit. Other than that, you're perfectly serviceable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, it's, it's not monopoly money, but it is. Like, it's, that, that person's never going to be worth what it is. Like, the, the people at the top of the food chain in sports, like, say for instance, LeBron, you can't quantify how much LeBron is supposed to get. He's underpaid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Tim, I wasn't supposed to do this. I wasn't even supposed to ask this question. But I'ma mess up the rundown and ask it. You know, we talking about Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson. Today!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, if you had to choose one moving forward as your quarterback, who would it be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta, you know, the Browns' defense has been dominant. They've been getting pressure all over the place. When you were playing quarterback and when you were in the league,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was more difficult, playing against a defense that was masterful at disguising the coverages and what they wanted to do, pre-snap versus post-snap, or a team that just got penetration and caused havoc in the backfield by guys having penetration? Which is that was more difficult for you to handle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And anytime you go immediately to the trainer and don't say nothing to your coach, that's problem. That's like, that's fear in your heart. Like, I'm scared. I don't know. This hurt, this hurt. Like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None. This is the worst- listen, hold on, let me just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I'm laughing, cause you like, don't you say it G Bush, I hate you. This is the worst case scenario, right? If you, like, for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what Mcnuggets said. He said this like verbatim. He said, my content dream is no disrespect. Deshaun Watson comes in. We think he's the guy, but then he gets hurt. And then DT Carr comes in and balls out that he said that verbatim and this is weak. What for? And this is we right on the cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, like, I would have, we would not have had this conversation, obviously, it's funny because Deshaun Watson is trying to get his foot, he's trying to get his footing, he's trying to gain it, he just looked like he got it. Like, I remember a point in time, this is when Brian Horry was playing, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he had a game where he had came off a really great game to, I think he almost had 300 yards and then they go into a Thursday night or a Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills and he tears his ACL, right? At that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian Hoyer, we was like, is he a guy that could possibly be starting for you? And he gets injured. Now my thing is, obviously they're not going to just switch it up, but I feel it's so ironic and the only so, oh so, I think we better just be hoping the shock walks in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR and Ahmadi Bates. And we said, there was no way these guys would see in the court or the field. These guys would get red shirts and then Conklin goes down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you have to, here's how I judge whether you got a good coach or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I judge, there's plenty of times where the Steelers have had less talent. There's times where the Ravens had arguably less talent than the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't consistently just say, oh, and I need to see it over a sustained period of time. Like, he's 11 and 4. He's 24 and 6. That's a really big body of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, no, we run where we run. If this is going to be an elite defense, the Legion of Boom didn't switch up. The Tampa 2, they run in Tampa 2 and the Bears run in 46. I feel like this is an all-time defense. You got the pieces of parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel you go out there and you run what you run best and let your chips forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't need them. We feel like the linebacking core and the defensive line is what we hang our hat on. If I got Myles Garrett, the best defensive player. I hope you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not, and here's the crazy thing about it is when you look at these statistics, they're in the middle of the pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I take it. Take it. Sorry, Joe Woods. We weren't, that ain't that, sorry, Joe. We weren't doing the same thing for you last year. Ain't that messed up? That's like seeing, seeing your new, your old girlfriend. When you, when she start, she was somebody else. When she start wearing dresses, you was wearing sweatpants when you was around me. You weren't even going to the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, my dad hit me up yesterday and he was watching the Thursday night game and he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns need to do exactly what the Lions did. The Lions jumped out and was all over the Packers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Jordan Love was confused. See, I think if you get to that point, you can take their heart a little bit. And this is, and usually hardball teams wouldn't say that, but I don't believe, like Bull says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ravens aren't good every year defensively. You just don't get that. You have to earn that title. And I think that if you get those guys down a couple of scores and now Lamar Jackson has to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, patient down the field. He can't get it all back in one play. I think that's when he presses a little bit. And that's why I think they just have an overall advantage over him because I think that pressure over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he, he, Deshaun Watson has what I call sneaky good syndrome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like, there's not a huge crazy play where you're like, man, that was so crazy. It's mainly the highlights. But he got sneaky, good throws. He's not that fast, but he's elusive. He sheds people off. And he tends to play better than what you remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like I go back and look and you think about it. That's all the DPJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even, even he had to throw one like that in Pittsburgh. He had to throw, it was a Mark Cooper on the side. I'm like, and there was two or three throws he threw to Elijah, uh, Moore that were incomplete because he didn't get his feet down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you just mentioned there's no Marlon Humphrey playing. The secretary's banged up. They had to find guys off the street to mess around to even get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? To get people up front to rush the passer. This game was setting up where if you get a Deshaun Watson coming off his best game, this is a game that the Browns are looking to win. Now you're taking a look at it and you bring it back. You got DTR coming in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First three, see, first three, four weeks of the year, defensive ends don't get highlights listed. He went viral against the NBA crossover stand-up defensive end. Then he went viral a couple weeks later by, by, by inventing the defensive end in motion play, which will revolutionize the game. Listen, Miles Garrett,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If uh, he, if he don't play another snap, just that, I think that might even put him in the Hall of Fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, absolutely. I'm fired up for this one. I can't wait for a little Brown's 49ers action. Should be a good one, especially with these two defenses this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of talent, but there's something that Brock Purdy has that those guys have, and it's a level of, I love the term, arm arrogance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's very different. Again, it's not 60 air yard throws on a dot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has some of the best anticipation I've ever seen from a 49ers quarterback. And look, I started watching football way back in the late 80s, early 90s and I saw some Joe Montana and that is the, uh, top of the, that is the top of the heap. That is the mountain top. And there's some similar now I'm not putting that on it. No, don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some qualities, there's some qualities running this scheme and this offense that he brings to it that we haven't seen in the Kyle Shanahan era of San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks. There's some special qualities, some toughness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His vision of the field and, uh, he does elevate the team more than I think a lot of people from the outside looking in would think and I think you'll see some of that on Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a tier of quarterback that Brock, it'd be crazy to put Brock Purdy in right now, and that's the tier where Mahomes and Josh Allen are in, and maybe Mahomes is a different tier at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the ones behind those guys, you have to start talking about Brock Purdy, just look at the way he's playing. And if you look at the statistics, he is up there in that tier, but I think you have to say, okay, he's small or small, let's chill a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, the processor's been unbelievable from jump from the first time he stepped on the field for the 49ers as a rookie, which is something you just don't see. Uh, even as much football as he played in college, it always takes guys, ah, let's wait till year two, let's wait till year three. It was immediate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Brady comes into Levi's Stadium last season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the end of the game, the crowd was chanting Brock Purdy's name. Brock Purdy's dad is in the crowd with tears coming out of his eyes. And I'm watching this football game like what the heck is going on? This guy is not supposed to be this good. And he's kept that up and actually improved this year from what we saw last year. There was some frenetic, like you can tell things were going a little fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a little funny early and he did throw some balls. There's some luck that he could have thrown some more interceptions. He has zero on the season. He could have one or two potentially. Uhm, but he figured it out and by the end of the game, even with blitzers coming at him, he's getting the ball out ridiculously early, right to the spot where it needs to go and even figures it out in the small, in the, in the, in the, in the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, within a game, even though, you know, you would think that, you know, week after week and year after year, you get a little bit better, you get a little bit better. He's figuring this stuff out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the fly during games, even though he hasn't played a full season of football yet. So it's, it's phenomenal. He's going to have a bad game at some point. The haters will come out then, but at this point right now, what he's doing is something that they're going to be writing Hollywood scripts about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that's what's interesting with Kyle Shanahan and the offense and how it's sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's changing a little bit in 2023 and I think there's the trust level there in Brock Prairie to do more things through the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, you know, it's a Shanahan offense, they're gonna run the ball, they run the ball well before McCaffrey, they're gonna run the ball well after McCaffrey, but then he just adds that extra little bit of positionless football, and you can move him around and do everything, and it's been phenomenal to fit for, for Christian McCaffrey in this offense, and, and really Kyle Shanahan's offense has always been about putting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why you see so much motion in, uh, even more motion this year, that fast outward motion rather than always across the formation motion, which is a little bit in vogue that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan are using this year. And how do you stop the 49ers offense when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they have all those weapons and you have, these guys are so selfless too. You talked about George Kittle's ability to block. These guys get so hyped when somebody else scores a touchdown and every week it's gonna be a different guy. Maybe it's a Devo Samuel game. Maybe it's a McCaffrey game. Last week it was George Kittle with three touchdowns. They're selfless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They block, the wide receivers block down the field, which helps bigger runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, you can't focus on just one guy because someone else is going to beat you and if you play him straight up, you're going to get beat somewhere. So I don't, we're calling Brock Purdy Brock 30 because the Niners are putting up 30 points a game and then good luck scoring 30 on that defense. So right now the way the 49ers are playing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I just don't know how you, you slow him down. Although Jim Schwartz has had some of the best, I don't want to say luck, has had some of the best schemes against Kyle Shanahan's offense over the course of his career. So that's the one thing that has to happen and maybe get that oblong ball bouncing your way a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say the right side of the offensive line. I would probably try to get Myles Garrett over against the right tackle of Colton McKivitts as much as possible. We saw in week one against the Steelers. J.J. Watt got home multiple times against Brock Purdy. There was two strip sacks. The Steelers were able to get one of those turnovers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then last week against Michael Parsons, that was sort of the same story, good defense, right? And you think, okay, Michael Parsons, he's the one that could wreck the game for the 49ers. And he got through, you know, once or twice, uh, but you know, no sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some new areas of the team will start to show, but I think the right side of the offensive line and then that nickel corner situation, they've kind of had a revolving door with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the outside corner, Nickel's spot on the opposite side from Charvarius Ward. And, uh, they're trying to figure out what exactly they want to do there, but it looks like they've settled in with Diomedore Lenore on the outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, absolutely. That's, that's the path we're on. Maybe you say the 49ers are peaking a little bit early, which, which, you know, again, we're just, we're just kind of nitpicking here, but McCaffrey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He always knew he was good. He's a good runner. Uh, like you mentioned, he's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little lighter, not quite the power back that someone like Chubb or other top backs are, but he's done a good job of trying to get bigger. He looks even more rocked up this year than he was last year, but one of the things I didn't realize and it didn't appreciate as much until I started watching him every week and, and you see him in practice and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's wired a little bit differently. The first day of OTAs, he is flying around the field a hundred miles an hour. Like he's a different guy and every yard of every run looks like it matters to him like it is the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, he's so smart and he knows exactly where to be at all times. He, he, he was trading midweek and played the very, he played two days after he was traded for the 49ers in Kyle Shanahan's offense, which is one of the most difficult offenses to learn. Uh, so it's phenomenal how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The competitive toughness that he has that, that is something that you kinda could appreciate from afar, but when you see it close up, uh, he's a, he's a pretty special guy the way he's wired. And again, selfless and fits right in with everything else is going on in that 49ers offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would say they're more complete top to bottom and I do think despite getting another terror on the inside in, uh, you know, in Jalen Carter in the draft, which is absurd that everyone, the rest of the league let the, let the Eagles do that. Uhm, the, the Eagles did lose more than they gained in the off season. You lose both play callers on both sides of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think the 49ers are better than they were last year. They're better at quarterback. They are, uh, you know, they got more players on both sides of the ball playing at a, at a high level right now. Debo was kind of said himself, he was awful last year and he's even a little bit better this year and in the best shape I've seen him from since probably his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they're just, they're just firing on all cylinders right now. So I think the 49ers are a more complete team and they are better than they were last year. I think the Eagles are a little worse and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's scary because the Eagles are still 5-0 though, and they, I think there's still another level that they're gonna hit this year, so when, you know, in December, Week 13, 49ers, Eagles, that's gonna be a popcorn game for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably Niner's shut out. I will say an athletic quarterback can give this scheme we've seen all the way back to the Robert Soledays, you know, some trouble. So that's what you're hoping for, I think, if PJ Walker's in there quarterback for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My life flashed before my eyes today, and it sounds like I'm joking, I'm really not. I was a block away from my house, I'm adults alike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the light turns green, and usually I'm pretty heavy on the gas as soon as the light turns green. For whatever reason, I paused a second, and out of the corner of my eye I saw something coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this flatbed truck carrying, uh, uh, mowing equipment went right through the red light in front of me. I don't know what happened. Had I gone when that light turned green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was crazy. I don't know what this guy was thinking. It was a sixth sense that kicked in for you. I guess. I don't know. So don't sweat the small stuff. I'm as bad as anybody on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me tell you the new dash. Did you just say they amended the offer? Nah, I should have put an order in yesterday. I thought about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns haven't faced an athletic quarterback. No. The most athletic quarterback they've faced so far was Burrow, and he's nowhere near the athlete that Laura is. He had nine rushing yards. And he was, you know, dealing with an injury in bad weather. So they haven't dealt with, the last two weeks they've faced guys who were pocket, who don't move at all. But,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Browns have to be who they are, G. Do you expect them to change a lot of what they do? Because you're talking about playing differently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then again, Lamar Jackson under pressure has been known to panic and make mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at what the Browns have done, part of the reason, obviously they have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Way better talent, they have way better coaching. But another part of the reason why they've had so much success so far is because they're confusing the offences they're facing. And as G said, he's 100% right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lamar is not the quickest figure-outer, if you will, of defenses. And if you keep, if you play conservatively against Lamar, you're playing into his hands. I think. If you, if you don't play aggressively, I think you gotta stay aggressive like they've been and continue to try to confuse him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even if he, like, cause when he gets out of the pocket, so yea, if he runs and you, and you don't get there, it's a problem. Yea, you gotta tackle him. Yea, if you miss a tackle, you miss one tackle, it could be 80 yards an hour. He's the hardest quarterback in my view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you're chasing a chicken. We're talking a 30 and this is Lamar we're talking about. You guys have said a couple of times, well somebody's gonna eventually, you know, figure it out or whatever. Like, I feel like the Browns have, for two decades, have played scared. They played afraid of the other team. And right now they're playing not scared of anybody. And they shouldn't be scared of anybody. And Jim Schwartz is like, I'm gonna do whatever the hell I'm gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what, if Baltimore figures it out and has success, well he's been coaching for a hundred years, he'll change. Unlike we've seen in the past where there's been no ability to, oh well things are not going right, we need to adjust. Well he'll adjust if he has to, but why do it preemptively before anybody proves they can beat it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but I think in the end, the Browns are a much better team than they've been in the last few years, or at least they should be. They aren't so far, and I think they will continue to be. They haven't had Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and hopefully yesterday, last week was what he's gonna be again, which he was and not just a blip. So I, I mean, I think it's meaningful a little bit, but not the end of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at it, the Bengal game and the, uh, and the Titans game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had big leads in both those games. So if you have a big lead and you got, you got a lot of 3rd and 8th, 3rd and 10th, you're going to be, you're going to be aggressive coming at you. There's no reason not to. So I don't, I mean, to me it feels like they're a middle of the pack in terms of blitzing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But adjust what you're doing. Wait a second. They are through three games, 10th. They are blitzing a lot more. Yeaah, because with Joe Woods, they never blitz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is obviously significantly improved talent, but playing better. But I'll, uh, you know what? For a second on the front four, Miles Garrett is playing with a freedom and an excitement that we've never seen. Right. Never. Ever. As great as he plays. That goes to the coordinator. He has never played with this kind of intensity and energy and excitement and freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J-O-K, who looked like the worst football player on the planet last year. Looks like a good football, not just okay, looks like a good football player. And Grant Delpin, who, granted, started to improve late last year, has probably played his three best football games ever the last few weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looks like a superstar. Again, small sample size, I get it, we gotta see it for longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. If, if, uh, uh, Jadavion Clowney had said to Jim Schwartz, I'm not playing except on third down. What do you think Jim Schwartz would have done? Then you're not playing at all. Cutting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Once you refuse to go in for a play, I don't have any interest in what you have to say. I get that, and that's in a vacuum of what I'm asking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's fair, but I just- I'm not sure how that's a- you're agreeing with Ty- Tyvis's point was that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, let's talk, I want your, your take on, on the running backs and what we've seen, obviously the Knicks out devastating injury. By the way. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leroy, when I first saw it, I thought it was a dirty play, and then I had Tyvis, and another defensive, or actually two other defensive players, tell me it wasn't dirty, but, Tyvis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He led with his helmet on Jimmy Garoppolo. Listen, at the very least, it was completely reckless. At the very least, right? I doubt Mike Fitzpatrick was actively thinking, I'm gonna really hurt Nick Chubbier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think of what you've seen from Jerome Ford so far? What did you think of Kareem Hunt's, uh, first game back also?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, DeJuan Jones has done, you know, a decent job. He seems to be getting better. He's a, I mean, a fourth round, fifth round rookie, whatever he was. Fourth. Fourth round rookie. Go Bucks. You know, I'm okay with that, but man, left tackle is such an important position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you talking about Deshaun played better because he had more time this week? And we've seen the numbers under pressure. His numbers under pressure, like many quarterbacks, are not good. How concerned are you about the left tackle spot right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Leroy, as we all know, the biggest story in the NFL this week is Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift. When you were playing for the Browns, did you ever date Pat Benatar? Did you ever date Madonna?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came here and everybody decided he was going to be a star here. And right now he looks like the same inconsistent player that he was in New York. He's a younger David Njoku at a different position. But to be fair to him, we have to give him more appointments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We haven't seen it yet. He's probably on pace for 800 yards. I mean, wait, can we see his yards? Steve, go back to season stats, go up one. He's over 100 yards, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I see why they do need it. It's too small sample size right now. The Browns passing game was pretty much non-existent the first two weeks. It's not like Amari Cooper had big numbers until this past week. And we, you know, so like we can't write off Elijah Moore. No, he's, he's not been impressive through three weeks, obviously, but I'm not, I'm not ready to write him off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had a very good wide receiver in Amari Cooper. Now you don't have that superstar. Now all you have in terms of what's better than average at least proven is Amari Cooper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you trust most as a pass catcher on the Browns besides Amari Cooper? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what this leads us to, guys, is whether it's because of Nick Chubb's injury or because Elijah Moore feels like a disappointment through three weeks. I think that's unfair, but it feels that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do the brow, do we feel the brows need to try to go out and get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make a trade. Go get another frontline type of offensive skill position player. Well, McNugget seems to think someone's illegal. But we talked about Jonathan Taylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what Mike meant to say is 50% off up to $20. That's what he meant to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though it was Nick Chubb that got hurt and you might lean towards a running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forget the contracts, because with Taylor you'd need to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vaude Adams is cash too because he's already got an extension. I believe you can get out of his money after 24. But let's put that to the side. Let's put the money and what you'd have to trade to get him aside. Would you rather


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns trade for Jonathan Taylor or Devonte Adams? That's easy, Devonte Adams. Easy for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think Tyreek Hill played a big role in Tuba looking great? Oh, did he ever? Did he ever? Okay, I know that Devontae is a different type of receiver than Tyreek Hill. He is. He can have a similar impact. But he's one of the, like Tyreek Hill, one of the five, six best receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Devontae Adams has shown zero signs of decline, and he is still clearly one of the best wide receivers in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I don't know if the Browns are going to do it, but you're already in this situation where you're going to have to pay the Piper. You might as well go all in and Devontae, if you told Deshaun Watson, he could have Devontae Adams. When this team, listen, I don't care what you do at running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, anyway. It's an embarrassing question, Mike, that you've even asked that. By the way. Three minute topic. I'll give you the backgrounds on both guys. Thank you. Dion Jackson was actually the week one starting running back for the Indianapolis Colts, believe it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's because Jonathan Taylor was on the pup list and Zach Moss was hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's played a handful of games. He was terrible in that first game, and then they, they fought so much of him, he went from their starter to being cut by the third week. Devon Ossi-Ossi was originally drafted by the Patriots, and then he played for the Bengals last year as their third tight end. Did he make a difference? No, he did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, speaking of tight ends, very rare that a tight end makes an impact as a rookie, but this Sam Laporta in Detroit is off to a great start. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number, like, it's not 117 versus 118, is it? It could be. Could be? That's lame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that I had to do some off-the-field stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about, did anybody else put in a waiver claim for Devin A. Chain yesterday? I drafted him. I drafted him. Last pick in my draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you were married, you wouldn't say, who he named. Oh yea, you're right. You'd say, they named, you know, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to just pick against you guys at this point. So yea you do. Now I'm screwed. So you stay one behind me. Yeaah. Did you get that right? I'm officially eliminated. I do believe both of them. I'm having a bad week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell's elves, so we made fun of that, that originated on KNR, which is one of the sports radio stations in town, and Aaron Goldhammer from the really big show, he texted me and he goes, we're making that, we're making that nickname, and I was like, that nickname is awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he said, he admitted to me later, he goes, yeah, it was one of Tony Rizzo's friends that came up with the idea. He says, we loved it at first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was working down the street at the Justice Center at that time, and I remember I parked my car at City Hall, I was walking to the Justice Center to go to work, and you know the brand new hotel that's right there, right? And so I think fans and maybe some players were standing there, and I'll never forget this dude had his Cubs jersey on, he just ran up in my face, like jumping Cubs, this Indian sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, cause Jay, Jay, here's what made it even worse. We coming off the high of the Cavs winning the championship in game seven. Right. And then after, uh, after the home run was hit by, uh, I think it was Rajee Davis, I'm thinking the Guardians was going to win this thing. Me too. So to be disappointed like that.

[Assistant] First topic of the day guys, the Browns and the Steelers on Monday night. Deshaun Watson was brought to Cleveland to be an elite franchise quarterback. He has more guaranteed dollars on his deal than every other player in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things we've seen since he's been here is been mediocre play. We have not seen that elite guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much longer do we have to go before we see the elite quarterback we thought we were getting before we start to lose trust in who this guy is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope so. I love that celebration, by the way. Awesome. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It just matches. Tribute to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was, I loved it. Uh, so we're not big on excuses here on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. We rarely use them. Excuses are for losers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in, in that vein, we have said, whether it's an excuse or not, well, last year he had six games at the end of the year. It was Jacoby's offense because he piloted it the first 11. It wasn't the real offense that we want to see Deshaun Watson in. Okay, so we wrote off six bad games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this year we said, well, it rained the whole game and the best quarterback in the NFL or one of looked even worse. So we haven't seen the real Deshaun Watson because of that. Well, no more excuses if that's what they were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna have a big game Monday night because he has to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the biggest game of his professional. Bull, I know you think I'm nuts because he's played in playoff games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's to move to 2-0 and 2-0 in the division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't get any bigger than this to Sean Watson. Unless you're playing deep in the playoffs, he's got to have a breakout game on Monday night. And I think he will. Now, you can parse this game a million ways. There's a lot of matchups that are very, very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The matchup of the Browns defensive line and the Steelers offensive line is the most intriguing to me. Why? And who wins that battle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got no shot. All right. Coming up yesterday, Deshaun Watson turns 28.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We give him presents. When the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show on Channel 3 comes right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that is so true. Mine's very simple. I'm giving him a set of earplugs. He's gonna need them in Pittsburgh. They're ready for him. I mean, it's always gonna be different wherever he goes from now on, but it's extra when he goes to Pittsburgh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, happy birthday to Sean. Now go out and play ball on Monday night. We're taking a break. When we come back, we're playing a great game. It's very, very simple the way this works. We have two options. We ask what's more likely. Stay with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout the football season, 1230 to one, we're talking about the matchup to come every week. And obviously this week it won't happen until Monday. It's the Browns. It's the Steelers. It's the biggest rivalry. It is what it is. We're going to play a little game here. McNuggets is going to give us a couple of stats. We're going to pick what's more likely. What's first


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's funny because I came at this the same exact way. I think Deshaun Watson's going to have his breakout game. I think when it's all said and done, we'll look at his numbers and the result and say, that's more like the guy we thought we were getting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, to make the leap to 325, when we have a running back in the backfield in Nick Chubb, that's gonna get 100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a big, big ask. I mean, 325 for anybody is a big number. And like you, more often than not, he's been around the 175 number. So I think it's gonna be somewhere in between. But if I had to choose, and I do, I'm gonna say it's more likely than not, he's below 175.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is tough. McNuggets, you did a really good job if that's what your intention was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a big ask as well, but we had to pick and because of what you said, not probably, this is the best player he's played with. Yes. Miles Garrett and Miles is going to get his, he's going to eat, but unlike last year, everybody else is going to eat too. Yep. And so for that reason, I think he gets to the quarterback more than once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully it will be twice on his own, but I think yeah, one and a half is more likely than none in this case for Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the reality of this is all of these questions, the answer's gonna be in the middle. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel very comfortable about that, but this is an extreme segment. We had to pick one or the other. To your point, I'll be crushed if they don't score at least two touchdowns. But I just can't get to the point where they're gonna score four. I hope I'm wrong. So because of that, I had to pick one. I'm gonna go with fewer than two here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna look into that crystal ball and we are gonna write the headline for Monday's game before it's played. That's when the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show returns on WKYC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We welcome you back to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. We're assuming if you're watching, you're a big Cleveland Browns fan and likely a huge Cleveland sports fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our normal show happens two hours every single Monday through Friday from 11 to one. And yes, we talk heavy Browns, but we also get into the, uh, the guardians and baseball season, the calves during basketball season. If you're just now being introduced to us, make us a habit, put it in the Google bar, the navigation bar, UCSS enter.

[Assistant] Our content's gonna come up, it's gonna take you to our YouTube page. Subscribe and also like and you can watch us every day on your own schedule. Alright guys, let's wrap it up with, I love this segment. We've been doing it, we did it all last football season. It's called Pre-Written Headlines. We write the headline before the game. Sometimes we're right, sometimes we're wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my headline. I'm picking a Browns victory in large part because I love what their defense looked like in week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different look, different mentality, different attitude with Jim Schwartz. Steel curtain of course a play on the old dominant Pittsburgh Steelers. We're stealing one though. We're going to Pittsburgh and coming back with a win in the regular season for the first time since Tim Couch did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are some scary numbers coming into this. Mike Tomlin's 19-3 on Monday Night Football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that terrifies me, but there's also another number that I think is in the Brown's favor. The Steelers offense has not had a 400 yard game since the start of the 2021 season. That's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two full seasons and into this year. Every other team in the NFL has had a 400 yard game at least three times.
