[Assistant] And if defenses say, alright, we need to stop Nick Chubb, but we also need to make sure that Amari Cooper doesn't beat us, well then that leaves perhaps Elijah Moore undercover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compare who are the quarterbacks that he's been playing with. Compare who is the offensive coordinator he's been with. And again, not to knock any of these guys, but he is in a system that is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really set up for him to succeed. He's got immense rapport and respect for his quarterback. And I know UCSS viewers hate when I do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well again, it's how do you use guys? This is, you know, it makes me, I'm going to use another comparison. It takes me back to when Bob McAdoo, I think, was the Giants offensive coordinator. And the Giants came into Ben McAdoo. Why am I calling Bob Ben? Because he was such a big guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so uhm, the Steelers offensive coordinator was Todd Haley. And you had Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham Jr. And it was supposed to be the two best, young, brightest talents playing the position of wide receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are one of the main points of your offense, don't you expect, I mean, you really should average a touchdown a game. And maybe that's one week you have the three touchdowns and one week you don't have any, but I think it's very reasonable. If you are a true game breaker, that means you break open the game, that means you score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when the Browns lost him last year, they lost something that went beyond his play, beyond what he gave them at linebacker. And that's just sort of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personality, energy, guy that not only gets the crowd riled up, but gets the team sort of focused, the huddle, whatever you want it to, however you want to phrase it. He's kind of like that intangible glue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he and I were having this conversation about how Zedarius Smith is a guy with a ton of personality. Rodney McLeod and Ron Thornhill are veterans who have won, who knows what it takes to win, and who also are strong personalities. How


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know like the best way to say it, but almost just calm about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like, there's this bronze fan, there's this bronze fan that went nuts. I don't, I'm sorry that I don't know his name, but he kept tweeting about how the failure of the first team offense in the commander's game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for me, it was far more meaningful that the first team offense, so methodically, so on point, so well, marched down the field, that Deshaun Watson was comfortable tucking the ball and running when he thought that was the best move, that he was making his decisions and reading the defense so quickly, all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we were talking about week one because we were on the call for CBS week one last year against the Panthers. And I stand on the sideline often right next to the specialist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Cade York had a chance to go in there against the Panthers. He's a rookie. It's his first ever game and he's got to kick this incredibly long kick to win the game. The look on his face, the, all right, let's go. I'm ready to go. I think the guy didn't want the Browns to score a touchdown because he still wanted that money pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is good enough. That's it. Rely on your A kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he's a guy that kicked in the loop for 13 years. Yea, Jay's tight with Philly. You know, and Jay is a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had the game and Jay had watched every single one of Cade's kicks since he started missing and had diagnosed basically what he did wrong on every single kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, everybody's different, everyone's motivated in different ways. You get the best out of everyone in different ways. It's nice and easy for me to just tell my kid, you've just got to get better grades and that's that. Period. I don't care. Just get better grades. But you know what? He's seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably more earmarked towards next year. I don't think they're spending a ton of money on a number three running back, but it's nice to have that flexibility. And it speaks to how smart that front office is that they do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Cap. Captain Walker. What is it, Luga? Got a situation, sir. Mission critical? No, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Captain Martin Walker. We're looking for survivors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're both clean. My apologies. One can't be too careful. I'm guessing you're Talbot. Mr. Sullivan. And Mr. Drake. That's right. Do you have it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all there. Now let's see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silver, 16th century, Elizabethan design, inscribed with Sir Francis Drake's motto. Well, it appears to be genuine. Well of course it's genuine. If I may ask, how did you two come into this? Does it matter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not really in a position to negotiate. Now give me the ring, take the case and walk out of here like gentlemen. While you still can. Do as the man says, son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? That's not possible, I verified it myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice work, gentlemen. Harris, please relieve Mr. Drake of the artifact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it's hardly worth dying over, is it? Your friend doesn't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then, what a dilemma. We seem to be equally matched. Until the rest of my men show up that is. We can wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've only gotten period blood on the bottom three times in my life. Bottom, yes, we're gonna be prude right now. One time in middle school during gym class, one time while I was teaching an autistic child, and one time at Kanye West's party on my birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they're real. Do you like them? They cost me a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need 150. It's not good to be short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoy your stay. I hope you find what you're looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuffin puffs. Not many people smoke those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this area, not sure what it's called, in Norfair here, there seems to be a bunch of these gated gates with the lights on the other side. I was wondering if I could sprint and break the gate, or if the, I guess the question would be, is the only way to open these by hitting the button?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know if you've ever played Castlevania, Symphony of the Night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why, it's probably because throughout my life I've always been super interested in these games, but when I was younger I found them too hard. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That all sounds fantastic to me. I did really like Symphony of the Night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not like the soup, you should humor me because I haven't seen it happen yet. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate you checking on it anyway. Maybe there's some other setting I have to mess with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like I picked the wrong game to start when I wanted to test my, test my follower alert. Saw it for sure, but there's no noise. Okay, I'll have to look into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a ton of people coming in to watch Symphony of the Night. It was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] End up liking super and checking out like randomizers. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I think we're just gonna retrace a little bit, see where our super jump, super bomb and ice beam can get us. But I do need to go get lunch. I'll try it again. Do you stream much? Not like this dude? I'll follow you if you do. Not if you're playing Metroid probably, at least until I finish it just so I don't get spoiled. But if you do, I'll, I'll check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I am gonna save, it's lunchtime, about two hours from me, so I plan on being back, uhm, at some point this afternoon, uh, and even this evening as well, so, if, uh, if you wanna, if you catch me on, pop in and say hey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind that one there, the green one. They drove in ages ago and it's been dark ever since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it was John Dee who sent Drake to Arabia. Yea, looks that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what does Lawrence have to say about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, which two?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on! No, it's okay Charlie, come on man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will they come? Sully, get us out of here!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean the whole thing. It just isn't worth it, Nate. Let this one go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not trying to prove anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, we were supposed to go back the next time to get Marissa's four front teeth taken care of. Just fillings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Collins just felt like she should do the crowns instead. She didn't feel comfortable doing fill-ins because she felt like the fill-ins would fall out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The doctor was shoving the crown into Marissa's gums and her gums were bleeding just everywhere. She started screaming like painful, like a shrieking, painful, scary scream for a mother to hear come out of her child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked Dr. Collins, I said uhm, you know, could you stop and numb her mouth? She ignored me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, you know, just kinda sat there and I was rubbing Marissa's legs and she's crying and screaming this whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went home and about 30 minutes later the crown falls out again. This tooth right here. This front tooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the tooth that they didn't get done and he just scraped the spot that was thought to be a cavity with his tool and just scraped it off. It was like a stain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He couldn't tell me for sure if she did need the work that was done, but just seeing that one spot on her tooth...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just really made me question, just made me and him question the entire thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Draw a card for me, please, Anna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which card do we have for you? Oh, the Empress. Now, this is about fruition. This is about getting the better of this fear. You no longer have to be affected by it. You affect the situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't think this is over. I won't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come and find you, I don't know how long I've been out of you, but, thank you. Sorry? Sorry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I can't, sorry. I'm almost there. Oh thank god, so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit. It's true, it's really here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Become agents for financing. And the financing companies providing the money to the doctor all up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's talk about that. If your child gets pertussis by not getting the vaccine and your child passes it on to a delicate newborn


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help Lavelle close up, see what's going on over there. And then, uh, from there, we'll see what happens. We got a couple different possible options for what we'll be doing tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did you say? Don't film that asshole. Spot on the block. I don't know where the fuck it came from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna know the reason why the lights were on? Cause I didn't turn it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fundamental issue in all these cases of sexual exploitation and abuse is criminal accountability. If they don't go to jail, nothing else matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fundamental issue in all these cases of sexual exploitation and abuse is criminal accountability. That's the only thing that really matters. Someone who rapes a woman, a girl, should go to jail. If they don't go to jail, nothing else matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the decision-making authority rests with member states, rests with the 193 governments of the United Nations. And the UN Secretariat, the civil servants working in that headquarters on First Avenue, cannot, uh, impose on the member states a new judicial system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there are allegations that a unit that has been deployed to a peacekeeping mission has been involved in human rights abuses back home, that's a huge cause for concern, a huge red flag and should be immediately investigated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The causes of peace and security feel when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These kinds of allegations come to light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I worked on it for six years and on the one hand I was very proud of it. But the bottom line was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was still a big lack of criminal accountability and that was personally very distressing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no guarantee of criminal accountability for someone who commits rape inside a UN peacekeeping mission despite a lot of effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By a lot of people and a strong commitment by the top reaches of the UN, uh, the systems in place now are full of holes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started posting videos of me drinking online and then Kyle found me and I had less than a thousand followers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I started off in high school making eating videos, cause all my buddies just had an idea, just, you're just like such a pig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you're disgusting, like you should make videos. Right. And uhm, yeaah, so I just started off with eating videos and then I stopped for like a year and when I got out of high school I said fuck it. I'm going to liquor slams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Instagram deletes everything I post, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He want- we wanna do liquor slams, but- Oh, I wanna do just drinking videos. Right. You know, cause I can do some pretty cool stuff with beer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said yeaah. Like if she had a triple chicken bowl and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's posted a lot of videos about me and the Nelk Boys. He hates them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, just one, just my ex-girlfriends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, that was a joke, cause did you see the wine tour video? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I just, yeah. Not only does Steve have a lot of sex. Yeah, basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's cause the... Nano's on top, right? Oh yea, it means whatever, whatever we're feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got him in Shockwave's holding sales. He's scheduled for... You don't wanna know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roger that. We're getting close. The central hub is just through this hallway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can hack the outer defenses with a security console. Should buy us some time. They might even let us take over that turret on the other side of the prison. That is, assuming we can make it over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, welcome to the show. Busy show. Busy show. Greg Newsome is, uh, gonna be talked about on this program. I just gave away our 32 and 32.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was fascinated by your NFL tickets, uh, plug on the rundown because I too saw the article in Forbes about the average cost of an NFL ticket and I thought it was a mistake and I started doing some digging and I found out that it's not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really unbelievable. Here's the thing. It's a free marketplace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's added Indianapolis, I think. Geez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10,000% more demand than there is for the people that wanted the tickets. You could sell those tickets for $3,000 and they would sell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let's say our first good morning of the day to McNuggets behind the glass. Hey guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what it takes for Mike to fall in love with you? If you glance twice at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so get that hat, get that shirt, and uh, help UCSS in the process. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fact of the matter is, here's the thing. I said this last year about Baker Mayfield and fired back. Do you want to show what, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, but here's the thing that I took issue with. He, he was glowing, complimentary, made some nice throws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody tweeted before Baker's preseason performance in which he looked pretty good, which again means nothing, that he had thrown nine interceptions in seven practices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you search Twitter, because it is the home of degenerates throwing shit out there. If you search it, you're gonna find negative comments about Joe. And here's the thing, how did he see that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, that was one of the first things I thought. And that's one of the first things I always think. I'm like, it's one thing if they at you, because I don't even look at those mentions. Right. But if, what it tells me is, you're going fishing for this nonsense, and to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's how, first of all, you can't answer all your critics. Can't? Don't do it? Don't try to do it. You'll just run in a circle your whole life. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he felt the strong need to do something to say to this guy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're wrong, I'm right. You go out there in the first game of the season, not preseason game number four when he's gonna see the field again. You go out against Cincinnati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go 29 of 36 for 3 touchdowns and you post a dub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you clip the box score and you send it to them in DM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reporter isn't gonna say, look what Deshaun Watson did because it's embarrassing to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you really truly wanted to get to the person that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put em on the couch though for this tweet and try to psychoanalyze. To me, you touched on it, you sorta touched on it. Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a little self-effacing, perhaps, but I think funny as hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Particularly because it's Philly. Tweet to Allen Iverson, we're talking about practice. Right. We're talking about practice, guys!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, you know, I mean, god, I hate to play psychologist here, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who grow up without a parent and the choice was the parents not to be in the home? Yea. For them to start asking at a very young age, was it me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's funny because we talked Tuesday about his tweet when Kyrie decided not to go to the Lakers. Is it me? And I think that's just shining a light on his soul. And there's a lot of people that are in that spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Bull, you always say, we can say ten things about the Guardians. Right. Insert team here. Insert player here. Nine of them can be glowing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that one negative comment that you make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When there is an organization or a player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That will gloss right over the good and focus on the bad. That's a them problem, not a you problem. That's right. They want to hear what they want to hear. They hear what they want to hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying kiss their ass. I'm not saying tell them they're pretty. I'm just saying build relationships with them. You know who's great at that is LeBron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, you should know, but LeBron, I remember one of the conversations I had with LeBron about Skip Bayless, and I thought when Skip came up, I thought he was going to say, I hate that dude. He has every reason to hate him. He chuckled and goes, he's my Howard Cosell, I love him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought that was interesting. He is the single most vocal critic of LeBron James perhaps ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, early, not even early on in his career. It was, uh, I believe after he came back from Miami.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Skippen had a lot of years to dump on this guy. And he just, he just joked and said, he's my Howard Cosell, I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] thin skin and rabbit ears is the absolute worst trait for a franchise player that is a quarterback that is making the most money for a guaranteed player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just throwing fastballs and sliders today. And that's it. It takes about five pitches for the dugout to realize, guys, he's either coming hard or a slider. That's it. He's not throwing a chain jump. He's not throwing that. And he gets beat up. Well, he wasn't trying to get out. He's trying to work on his location. Same thing can be true for a quarterback. Maybe today's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both offenses looked really bad. Yeah. Tuesday was, I said, was it just that they got beat by the defense? He goes, no. They were awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know that's what we do. With players we don't because, and I think the perfect example of that was Baker Mayfield. Well they ignored it for a while. For a long time. Juxtapose the feeling in this city and around this organization on New York Jets night, Thursday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But everybody, I was in the stadium, we were walking out, everybody was saying the same thing, but we found our guy. And then for a long time, they believed they found their guy, but at some point,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will, but there's no denying this. When, when he lost the fan base here, and I think everybody would agree he did, right? He lost the fan base at the very end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a ridiculous spark. I'll tell you what drove that guys. I mean, right or not, it was, we were thirsty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he gave us a drink! So when a thirsty man in the desert is on his hands and knees and someone pours water down his gullet...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of the money, but also because he's a better player. I understand, like, if he was just a first round draft pick, like Baker was, no, I'm not gonna say you're a bust if you don't win the AFC Championship game or a Super Bowl. No. High expectations, you were the first player taken. Win a playoff game, turn the franchise around, however, he had a body of work, the hay was in the barn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he put a target on his back when he did it. Just like A-Rod when he got the big deal when he was in Seattle. When you pay a guy like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it's very simple. It's not turn the franchise around and win a playoff game. Now it's, oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What disappointed the fan base in Baker Mayfield, and I'm going to throw him in there too because you win with quarterbacks and coaches. And Kevin Stefanski is, they took step one and we thought, okay, progression. Next year we go to here and then we go to here. But we didn't. We went here. Baker's gone. No Baker here. Wait a minute. That's not the direction we're supposed to be going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the first year with the Sean Watson. We better at least get back to here. Right? We better at least make the playoffs and win the playoffs game. Oh no, no, that's bare minimum. That's bare minimum. Right! Because if we don't, that's why, and we're gonna transition into this topic, and I think this is the perfect time to, nope, it's later. We're gonna talk about playing time in the preseason, so I'll hold that fire, but I'll quickly just give you the thumbnail on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm extremely disappointed in the way Stefanski is choosing to use his, his players in the preseason. Guys, you've said this too. I said that the last preseason. This is a five alarm fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're gonna just, no, we're good until, we're good until Kansas City. I'm actually- No, Gene, the building's on fire and here's why. You've even said-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course it's both, however, to Jay's point, and this is a good one because the pay structure is so different between drafted players and free agents. Like guys aren't making big money in their first contracts. That doesn't mean I don't have high expectations for them. I had very high expectations for Baker Mayfield. He started to reach them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference between Deshaun Watson and even Joe Burrow. Now Joe Burrow is a guy who will be the highest paid player. And if he thinks he has pressure on him now, just wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he got the, you know, $25 million a year for 10 years in Seattle, it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The establishment has said to Deshaun Watson, you're the most talented player in the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl, Earl, the whole, the reason what you're saying is somewhat duplicitous is because how much you make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has already been decided by what you are, what you have done. Yeaah. Even when you're drafted. The hay in the barn is your college career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm glad you brought up the roster part too because if you have to Shawn Watson but a crap roster, you have to temper your expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, because he is the highest paid


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, we're not gonna sit here and say, well the Browns sucked so bad they had to overpay for that position, so it's really not Deshawn's fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tremendous. Do you know the guy that shout out at McNuggets? I definitely basketball with Matt, yea. I knew it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you or did you not ask him to send a video submission? Answer the question!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was him. That was, that was Matt. So sorry, Matt's amazing. No, we are, we're really thankful for that. And by the way, I think we could, there's something there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's like, whether it's a Monday rant,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, snippets or something. But there's a segment there for Mondays. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's 11 for 11 with four touchdowns for 300 yards, it means more than zero. It means zero to me. If he throws eight passes and six of them are picked, it means more than zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious. I'm not going to buy jerseys based on performances tonight, but I'm curious. I want to see how he's handling the huddle, what his pace is. You know, there's things that I think you can glean from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just not going to say, I've seen enough, he's my starter. Or I've seen enough, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, I, I was on the lower end of everything, uh, attempts, completions, yards, uh, I have them 8 of 12 for 105. But you know, really when you think of that, do we have his stats from each of his first two games readily available?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, can we see those? Absolutely. He's throwing perfect games, but he's doing it against third team defenses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think the level of competition that he's gonna be playing tonight is going to be the toughest he's seen so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I brought him down a notch from what he's done. Because even if he is seeing the Philly backups, they're better than the other backups that he's played against.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's also playing earlier in the game. Yup. So I think you're not gonna be seeing guys that are probably going to get cut. You're seeing guys that are fighting for depth position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, depth chart positioning. So you're probably playing against twos that are trying to hold onto their twos or maybe crack into the ones. And he's playing with a third team running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the NFL, you will get punched in the mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So your plan is to roll out Deshaun Watson and win 12 games. That's your plan. Uh, in reality, even if that comes to fruition, it won't be easy. What if he suffers an injury and has to miss three games? What if Dobbs comes in and doesn't look great? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I love the fact that he's playing. I just don't love the fact that we're not seeing Deshaun Watson some more. But here's what we have on Deshaun. Three throws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three completions for an average completion yardage of four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it's too serious, I just want to see that. And the other thing too is you talked yesterday about you don't care about practice and I don't either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was interesting that last year when Philly kicked the Browns ass in the two practices that it proved that what we were seeing in practice ended up coming to fruition on the field. The Eagles made it to the Super Bowl. The Browns tanked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not even the last two days. It's in this setting. Game reps. You have to remember, if you go back to when he played his last NFL game, which was 2021,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before, now, before the games that he played last season. I agree with this. So, we just, there's still rust. There has to be rust. Because he didn't look rust free for the six games, and then he went into mothballs for four, five months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's human nature. I'm not, I'm not saying to Sean you gotta be cleaner. I expect him to be rusty. What I can't tolerate is rust in week one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I manage, I'm eliminating any possibilities for trip ups. Anything. What are they? Well, rust could be one of them. Lack of game time reps with your new wide receivers could be one. You can take care of those things. And to your point, if he plays three quarters against Kansas City and is 21 of 25, then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I pull back and I'm like, I think he's ready now. Okay, let's do it. But I just want to see that and feel good about that. That's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think, Jay, and I'll get your guys thoughts on this, we talk about how I think there's four or five roster positions up for grabs. And that's it. But to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wide receiver decisions are going to be fascinating. Yeah, I agree with that. And I think that's the ones that we really need to focus in on. And because of that, that's who I'm most interested in seeing. I told you guys in April. The receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? Here's why I would make the argument for it. Schwartz got a second ear. Did he deserve it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like us. I've just seen, I like his routes, I like his hands, I haven't seen enough of them, that's why I really want to see, to me, tonight, I'm focusing on the receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. I don't think keeping three tight ends is an option. Jay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll think so? Yeah, I don't think they're gonna do it. I think they'll keep two. And if that's the case, then Bell and you can also keep Watkins on the list. He's related to Sammy Watkins somehow, right? So here's some brightness cut then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, I am watching with great interest what the kicker does. That would be my guy. Kade York, you gotta make kicks, bro. You gotta make kicks. And I want a 50 yarder in the mix. I think the Browns might actually sandbag some drives specifically so they get to get him out there. Third and eighth draw. Yep. Let's go kick. Let's see what happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish, I wish the game was here because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, is Cleveland Brown Stadium the most difficult NFL stadium to kick in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But somebody sent it to me and said, there is something to this holder thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was another podcast. I don't even know what podcast it was. It might have been a Browns podcast because they were really going in deep. If you're talking about the Browns holder, it probably was. But someone did the research on what the kickers that he has held for have done and all of them were at least 10 percentage points less


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, once is, you know, can be an anomaly. Twice becomes a trend. Three times becomes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Philly, it was different with Jay, I loved Jay, I worked with him for a long time, and I get this, okay, and I don't want to throw darts at anybody, but a lot of people that transition from player to media have a real hard time publicly calling out someone that's in that profession,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I can just tell you that from our text conversations, it was a much different tone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns maybe make a mistake once in a while?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the Browns. I hear ya, but if it was that obvious that it was the punters fault, they would change it. I'm not even saying it is. What I'm saying is, when you have a guy that's held for four kickers, all of them were pretty good kickers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold for him just to see if he is more accurate with it. I don't know. I do know that the way the laces are facing is very, very critical to make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you, and you believe that he will be an NBA player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now, you said that Tuesday, and I completely agree with you, but explain that. I just... I know that... I just gotta be careful what I say. I know you do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was I think a slight step backwards, but to me a lot of this was through no fault of his own. A guy came in and played lights out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes you get Wally pipped. You know, not that he lost his spot because he got hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the case of Wally Pipp, which why he became the poster child for it, he was replaced by Lou Gehrig when he got hurt. Lou Gehrig never came out of the lineup for 2130 games. That's right, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How in the hell did Cliff Kingsbury age 50 years in the last five?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't disagree with any of that, although I still think that in your mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At number four would be Baker. Yep. At number three would be Baker. And number two and number one would be Baker. I mean I was kind of insulting Baker by putting him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I filled this same application out. Three times. The same application. This pile. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He loves fishing. It's right off the water. And it just fit into our life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just couldn't understand when I saw water coming out from my son's bedroom underneath the door and I'm like, what the heck is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All upstairs and we're watching the water level rise. As it's coming closer to the top step, I'm wondering, where are we all gonna go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know I had to itemize every single thing that I lost?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no choice but to keep it straight. I have to know where everything is so when somebody says, oh you didn't fill this out or you didn't fill that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here it is. I filled it out. I filled it out three, four times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would talk to one person, and then if you would talk to another person, you would get a totally different story. So who do you believe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, so you're going on good faith. You're trusting what this person says. You're doing everything he says. Then when you go back and that person's no longer there and this person takes over and you're getting a totally different story, all that time goes by and nothing's been accomplished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think enough people know the different areas that can be affected by storms like this. And something has to be set up because I don't think we could bounce back if it happened again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, after the last couple of years, if that didn't teach him, don't pay attention to the noise. Just ignore it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tried to embrace the villain. He tried to embrace the y'all gonna hate me? Okay, then I'm gonna pour it on. And that first game back in Cleveland was one of the most spectacular regular season performances. He just pulled everybody's pants down and spanked their asses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most interesting thing to me about all of this is the fact that it was a Philly reporter because Deshawn's blocked all of the Cleveland reporters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so there's no Cleveland people, very few, that he's getting anything from because they're all blocked. So now it's the Philly, now it's the out of town guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the only thing I'll say in rebuttal to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mentioned Zach, and Zach's been pretty harsh and critical of Deshaun this preseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zach's been around football a long time. He worked for the team. Like he knows what he's talking about. And when he says, guys, this doesn't look good, I tend to believe him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you okay with this? I'm, I have always been in the camp of not necessarily playing guys in the preseason, but I tend to agree with Jay on this one that like, there was so much at stake. We talked about this a month ago. I mentioned this a month ago before we even started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was ever a preseason where you want to start playing your guys more, it's this one. There's jobs at stake and there's careers at stake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one thing, Mikey, I'll come to you in one second. Well, I just forgot what I was going to say. So, Mikey, we'll go. Playing time. Oh, yeah, Mike. I totally lost it. Oh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. 12 of 17, one and one. I had 97 yards. I don't think they're going to throw it downfield that much. But yeaah, I'm kind of in bull's camp. I don't really care what he does. You don't care? Nah, I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I'm actually okay with him not playing tonight because they've got the last two days of working and Philly's not going to play anyone tonight either. So what, what are you really going to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is short for fanatic. No, I keep telling you I'm dead inside. No, he's dead inside. Yea, you are dead. I'm not a fan of anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harrison Bryant is cuttin'. Yeah, I don't know. I think Harrison Bryant probably gets traded. Oh wow, okay, traded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say Hinesfield is up there, or whatever they're calling it now. Pittsburgh is up there too. Buffalo, depending on the weather. But Cleveland and Pittsburgh, because of the wind, I think those two are probably the most difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 PM according to Trussell. Jim Trussell used to say nothing good happens after 10 PM. So, he's really conservative. Yeah, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you know what? We got, we got one of those technical gremlins in our system again. I don't know where they are, but they live in there somewhere. They're trolls. They knocked us off the air. So thanks for everybody for sticking with us throughout the, uh, the little technical malfunction there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I want to wrap up Deshawn quickly before we move to other items because there's a lot to talk about with the preseason game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the preseason. Give him up however you want. Give me three in the last game, one in... Right. You know, I think Kevin would do that. 100%. I think that this is a collaboration between the two where they're both like, I'm good, and that scares me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the pocket's collapsed and he decides I'm just going to take the hit, you can have a season end on that plate. Look, we think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whenever you make a quarterback one dimensional, you're halfway to victory. That's right. He's gotta be great at that also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Cleveland, it doesn't take Cleveland long to get quarterback mania.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it's safe to say they already have quarterback mania over DTR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which happened very quickly. If you're just judging on what he did in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can understand why you'd be excited about that. You have to temper that enthusiasm with who he was doing it against. Uh, he was 9 of 10, quarterback rating of 142. I mean, isn't that perfect? Or right next to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love everything I've seen about this kid, but I don't know that I'm ready to say I feel comfortable going into the season with him as number two over Josh Dobbs, who has experience in big games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me, let me make this clear. First of all, it doesn't really matter who the backup is, any kind of long, if the Sean Watson has any kind of season ending injury, the season's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the exception, not the rule. It is definitely the exception. And the 49ers didn't, and first of all, Brock Purdy played great. So yeah, okay, it's possible that some of these guys could play great. I mean, he could. Look, coming out of college, Brock Purdy was not nearly as accomplished as Dorian Thomas. Five years as a starter, guys, remember that. Five years as a starter. But in this AFC,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dorian Thompson Robinson. It's like the same thing that happened with Imani Bates here. Like, to some degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, in the little tiny bit, he's strong 20 preseason passes, 21 preseason pass, I think he's 18 of 21 in the two games, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those 21 passes in the 9 or 8 runs that he's had, he has looked excellent. Yeaah. Nothing negative to say about it. But here's the thing, none of these statistics matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] quarterback rating. When a guy, part, what makes you a great quarterback is that you're able to sustain this type of play for a game, for a season, right? If he throws ten passes, well that's great, and the number's a great nine for ten. But if he had to play the whole game...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Josh Dobbs was playing against the same Jimmy's and Joe's. Agreed, and Josh Dobbs didn't play particularly well. No. But ultimately, what you're not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not gonna decide your backup quarterback, in my opinion, based on their statistics in the preseason. You're gonna decide it based on an entire body of work, both coming into the season and what you've seen in training camp, what you see in the classroom. We only see a small tidbit


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of what they're analyzing as a team. Josh Dobbs was here last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been in the league, hasn't played a ton, but he's been in the league a long time. I don't think there's any chance Dorian Thompson Robinson is the backup this year. What we've seen, love it. Do I want him on the roster as the third quarterback? 100%. Is there potential that he could be the next Brock Purdy or another guy? Of course there's always that possibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's certainly worthy of keeping around 100%. Yeah. But in terms of the backup, if I, if, if,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Sean Watson goes down for a series. I want to go with the guy who's played in the league. Yeah, let me remove any doubt for anybody. This is what the roster looks like for the bronze quarterback. And I'm about as sure as this as I am on any take up given on this show. The Sean Watson is your starter. That's that's clearly established. There's no question about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Jordan Thompson Robinson, although he's looked great, is not your number two. That's gonna be Josh Noves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has experience in that position. The Browns obviously liked him enough that they brought him back. That's right. He played meaningful games last year for the Titans. And by the way, played well. It wasn't his fault they lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not his fault. He did enough by himself to win the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a prime time game. It was a prime time game. I remember watching every bit of it. I thought I was so happy for Josh Dobbs, but make no mistake about it. Kellen Mond will not be on this roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are your three quarterbacks, and the only way DTR will see the field at all this year is if there is a significant injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he plays this year, it's probably a disaster for the Browns. It's not a good thing if he plays this year for the Browns. Now, I love what they have in this kid. They're absolutely excited about him. They're 100% keeping him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do think that he has a future in the NFL as a quarterback. He just looks the part. He's not intimidated by anything. He's got good leadership skills. And by the way, do we have the video? Can we tag board the video?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not. And we're, we always ask this question, can you be a leader if you're not a rah rah Ray, Ray Lewis? Can you do it? And we've always asked that question, I think in, in conjunction with the question of Miles Garrett. Sure. Can he be a leader? Jacoby Resett, you want to see what a leader looks like? Watch how his old teammates


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're breaking their backs to get to him after the game to talk to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is beloved by his teammates. When he was with this, that's just the video. Or I mean the still picture. There's video of him dabbing up everybody on the team. And it was everything was, it was like they were seeing their old best friend from college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what a leader looks like. And it doesn't have to be vocal. Look at the guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely coming to him like, like he's some sort of magnet. In Joku, having a nice laugh with him. Everybody, even Deshaun Watson. This guy was beloved by his teammates. That's great, and I love it at all. Why any fan or media member would be obsessed, obsessed with Jack Colby? I have no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was here for one season. I can tell you why the media was obsessed with him, because he's such a likable guy. I hear you. They deal, remember, and we don't do this. I did once upon a time. It's not fun. When you go into a locker room every day, you realize that these guys are paid professionals. They're football players first and foremost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't have to be kind during interactions. Nothing in their contract says they have to. No, you always love that when the players are nice. When they're nice, it's like they make your job 60% easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when you go into the locker room after a game and you have to interview a Warren Sapp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's got a spit tile down between his feet and puts a big chunk of dip in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were in a really tough spot. We were in a really tough spot. And I think it wasn't his fault that, you know, that they had a losing record when he was the quarterback. It was not his fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he gonna be the starter? Yeah, they said that. Oh, that's a mistake. Come on. That'll be till week three. We'll see Jacoby plenty this year. Jacoby's not a starter though, I just don't think. He's not a front tier starter, but if you have a, if you have a team that has a really really good defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And can keep you in game. And that's what the Browns lacked last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep Deshaun Watson on the field. And you're the pragmatic, you're like, eh, never gonna happen, never gonna happen. I don't need to remind everybody where Tom Brady was drafted. I'm not for a second saying that DTR is gonna be the next Tom Brady. But when Tom Brady was at this stage of his career in New England, two weeks in, if anybody would have said he's gonna


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying it's impossible. I totally agree that I like what I've seen, but I don't want to rely on it. I don't want the Browns to have to figure that out now. Yeah, I don't either. We don't want that to happen. If they stumble upon it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful. Then, you know, you got another Bledsoe situation where all of a sudden you're saying, wow, you know, they were paying Bledsoe over a hundred million. They were committed to him. And that back then that was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played really, really well. Kellen Mann could just be cut. I mean, yeah, well, there's another guy that could be cut too. I think everybody could agree on Anthony Schwartz. Like, I don't know what we're dealing with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, that really does drive home the mentality of the fanbase. And by the way, it's not even just Browns fans, I'm sure you get to almost every other team, the fanbase would vote the same way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But especially, I think it's more noticeable on teams that have not had success. That the fan bases are so desperate for a sign of weakness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually don't think he's underrated nationally anymore. I think he was at one point. Every football fan I know that's not from here is like, oh Nick Chubb's the best. Every person I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This mixed up. He's never as high as some other guys on a fantasy list. Because he's not as good a fantasy running back because he doesn't catch a lot of passes. And so people turn that into disrespect. It's not. He's always the highest drafted running back in fantasy of the non-pass catcher. Always.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've done it. They did it a couple of years ago down the stretch. They're the only team that he, Henry's the only player that gets significantly more touches. Right, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wants to end his career here, and hopefully that happens. There's a lot of things going on there, but hopefully it happens. Alright, uh, get to wide receivers. Should we do that now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this hard for himself? Why is he, I heard G on the barber shop I was listening to, I was listening to G and Earl was on there and Tyvis was on there and then I sent like a 12, I sent like this long text to the three of them with like 12 bullet points from their show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some on baseball, some on football, some thoughts on what they were discussing. Right. But, uh, one of the things I, uh, I didn't put on there actually was I, that G made a point of saying that they had plays for Anthony Schwartz. So you think he's still in the mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I really do root for him. I-I mean, every time he drops it, I'm like, Oh my God! Bro, they're giving you every chance! Don't throw it to Stonehand!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, here's the, the enamoration is that football guys look at track speed and they say, hey, give me a world-class sprinter and I'll turn them into a football player. But look at the list of guys that have tried and failed that from Ronaldo, Nehemiah, which goes way back. I'm dating myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Ross, they might have a little bit of success, but you know, Marquise Goodwin is probably the most decorated track slash football guy that I can think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean he's fast and he's faster than your average football player. Yeaah. But on the world stage, well look at D.K. Metcalf, he was going to bust out there. He impressed some folks, but there's a difference between world class speed and super fast on a football field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can, they keep 90 people. Well, they have released a couple of guys, and then they've quickly signed guys back on, but I just, I don't get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, I'm gonna be honest, I never even heard of the Brown's second and third leading receivers in this game. I never heard of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Cleveland Brown fans love than a random white dude playing wide machine. You know that. Every year there's a random white dude. It all goes back to Brian Brennan. They love it. Miller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think LSU- Actually their second league and third league receivers are both tight ends. Zaire, Mitchell, Padden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was he, undrafted? No, this is his third team. I think he's 25, if I'm not mistaken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ain't even played. He's not helping himself right now. No. He can't get on the field. So maybe one of these guys makes it. Maybe. They bounced around from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I say about the, no, Anthony Schwartz has never looked like an NFL wide receiver. No, he's making a case to make the team, no doubt. This guy with his routes and his hands, I, when I watch him, I say, oh yeaah, I can see him being an NFL wide receiver right now. Well, Marquise Godwin's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had some catches on Friday. DPJ did, didn't he? I don't think so. Did he not catch a ball Friday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They believe the package of plays that they had for Schwartz, I think they're just gonna put Moore's lap and let him carry this. I think Tillman, Bell, and Watkins are probably receivers four, five, and six. I think that's it. Right? I do. I think that's feels like it to me. Yeah. It feels like it to me. Here's Elijah's run out of the backfield.

[Assistant] I think you just nailed it. I think those are receivers 4, 5, and 6. Honestly, as I'm watching the game, I'm trying to think where are the positions, because I was looking at maybe a tight end, you know, we could have a change at one of the tight end spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, I think there's maybe four not alive spots that are up for grabs and that's it. And I can't remember the last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do like to differ. You don't think so? It's not up for grabs. No. Did you listen to the post game news conference? Now, yes, coaches have been known to lie, but I mean, they're not going to give up. They're not what sucks about the kicking situation. And this is just a problem. And this is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the king of knee-jerk right now. Duke of knee-jerk. The problem with kicker, guys. If you have a young player in another position who's not ready


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't do that at Kicker. And it's so important. And right now it's hard to have much faith in Cade York. I don't want to see the tweet. I don't want to see a single effing tweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I pretty much ignore all preseason except for the kicker. Because the kicker, it's no different. In fact, it should be easier because you know if you miss, okay, he's got no pressure, nobody's competing against him. And it's not like if you lose the preseason game, you miss a kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he could kick the ball, he could make, you know, field goals from 65 yards, which back then was the extreme, that was, he probably had the biggest leg of anybody in the NFL, even though he wasn't a regular kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could come in here and kick the football off a hole over 70 yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not what makes kickers in the NFL. You've got to be accurate. And at this point in his career, he has been subpar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well below average. Now all of that being said, you're not going to give up on them. You're just not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're also not going to bring in a Mason Crosby. I know there are two very, but you know, I think Gold... Robbie Gould's probably the best. I think he is too. Last year, I mean, shit, he did miss. Yeaah. He was one of the best kickers in the league last year. He's 40.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. You're, what you're trying to do at this position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is find, not a fix, or a bandaid. That's what anybody that they're gonna bring into camp is gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're trying to find the next Justin Tucker. You're trying to find the guy that you're gonna put out there and never worry about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? The, the Bengals kicker, Evan McPherson, the Steelers kicker, Chris Boswell. It's a great division. Might be the second and third best kickers in the league. And you know what? It has to be because of the conditions. That's right. And those teams, when their kicker goes out there, they're a hundred percent confident. Doesn't mean they're always going to make it, but they're a hundred. Right now as a Browns fan, you have no confidence in kickers. No, you know what? I would say right now when they bring them out, you're like, you're, you're, you're going uh-oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here we go. It's must see TV. Yeah, because you're on the edge of your seat. Now, again, small, small sample size. He's over two in his kicks. He's missed one was 45, one was over 50, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're six and four and you've played really well on offense and Sean Watson's sitting on all cylinders, your defense is great and you've lost two kicks with two games because you missed at the end. If you're the reason your team is six and four and not eight and two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Who would have guessed that after he made that kick against Carolina in week one last year? You would never have guessed that a year later we'd be talking about will he get cut? Now, I'm not asking that question because I'm here to tell you he's not getting cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin Stefanski was asked point blank about it. Are you concerned? Not at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he made, he went on to say, look, he's doing what young kickers do. He's trying to get better at his craft. We feel very comfortable with him. Are you going to bring somebody in for competition? No. Now, one of the arguments why you wouldn't do that is because you don't want to damage his psyche. For me, that's the reason to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He should have a sit down with Kevin Stefanski where Kevin tells him, you're good for another six days. That's it. I want my kicker living under pressure. That's right. And I don't like that there's not another kicker in camp. Yeah, I don't know why they did that. But Kevin was asked point blank, are you going to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Crosby and Gold, they're gonna kick. There's no doubt about it. They're gonna kick for good teams. They just don't want to go through camp. They're sitting back. They're wait, wait, they're just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna end up on rosters. And I don't think it will be Cleveland. The problem with what happens once you get to week eight. There's 32 jobs on the planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Cade York loses his, now you're drawing pool?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is guys that weren't in the top 32. If he doesn't kick well, he's not making it to week 8. I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great Joseph, that's him. And he was really good last year. And, and we, we let him go. Right. We let him go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a lot of data points that we do not have. And that's practice. Very true. And by the way, I'm told, I'm told in practice, he's splitting the uprights one after another after another. Who cares about that? I'll tell you why that is important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if he can't do it like that, he'll never do it like that in games. So you need, like, and you said you don't care if he can kick it 70 yards. That is a commodity. That's a tool that other NFL teams don't have. But it's useless if he can't make it. It's useless if he can't make it. So what they're doing is, like all players,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wouldn't, it's not like they need to be in training camp. Robbie Gould could come in here and kick tomorrow. This Rodrigo Blankenship, he was drafted too. He was really good in college. Like any of these guys could come in tomorrow and just be the kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should have gone after Drew Brees. Forget Philip Rivers, I would have taken Drew Brees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to me not trusting your closer is worse. However, the only thing I'll say about that is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These teams now, there's so many good relief pitchers that if the closer ends up failing, like I'll just find another guy in my band that can do it. Yea. With Kicker, you don't have that. And, see, this is why Kicker is by far worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a kicker misses a kick at the end of the game and they lose? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the, the closer would have to blow 10 games. Right. Which, which Klasi has. Which Klasi has. For it to be as impactful. Yeah. So for me, the kicker is far more important. Way more important. I, I just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a team, it's so devastating when the closer blows a game. It is, but it's one of 162. You're right. That's fair. That's fair. By the way, Klaus A. Bloom. Oh, it's Saturday. He was, I mean, are you kidding me Saturday's loss? Saturday's loss was amongst the worst because while they were blowing a lead. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think the twins lost 13-2. That might have been on Friday, but they also lost in their last at bat Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing that gives me any optimism for like next year is that the idea of Williams and Bybee, like now with the year under their belts. Bybee's gonna be an American League Rookie of the Year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They both have ERAs under three. That's crazy. And his stuff, I'm just, his stuff? Nasty. Both of them are nasty. I mean, they're just, it's incredible that Cleveland's doing this with two, two pitchers, and not just, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but what's his, what, what, give me some of his numbers. How many home runs has he hit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tater Bibe is the fifth choice right now. Behind Gunnar Henderson, uh, Masasaka, Yoshida in Boston, Tristan Casas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Josh Young from Texas. Gunnar Henderson's had a good year, hasn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at his ERA, look at his width, everything's in place. He and Williams have been the two best rookie pitchers in the American League. By far. Yeaah. And even Allen's been good, he's not as good as those guys. Yeaah, we gotta get off the Guardians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, not to interrupt, but I'm going to interrupt because I'll forget this thought. Can we give away memberships to people that purchase fanatics?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's the same price. I mean yeaah, they know that 3% of the sales goes to us. But if they, if we can give them something out of it, like a free membership.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got nothing. The starters didn't even play a full series. No, but I want to hear from G on this because he has studied the hell out of it. You love it. Jim Schwartz, career, philosophy, background, and you're our defensive guru. So what did you make of it? Break out the Kool-Aid, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stafanski whispers, you know, Joe Woods whispered, we need, you need some of the other coach to be a bad ass. I loved it. And that's what he is. I thought the starters, the little we saw of him looked absolutely good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aside from the individual personnel, I was looking more at scheme and approach and philosophy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I know I'm not gonna, you know, drink Kool-Aid on this, but I will say it was decidedly more aggressive than anything I saw under Joe's. Ever. Yeah. Ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you're playing against the non-quarterback. Yeaah, right. I get that. I get that. But love the aggressiveness. To me, it's a nice appetizer for what I think we're gonna get once the regular season comes, which is gonna be aggression. We're gonna, we're not just gonna come with four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to have fresh legs on the field at all times. Right. I want to ask you guys something completely off topic. Sorry, McNuggets, but Cory and I, we fell on this conversation yesterday on the golf course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is widely regarded in the NFL that you have five offensive linemen and that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, as we have seen rotational defensive fronts become the thing, and combinations, and third and seventh, we're gonna put this package in. Why is it we don't do that with the offensive line?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't we rotate those guys in to keep their legs fresh? I think we should do. To some degree, right? I know the chemistry thing is big with the offensive line. But like, that's the big part of it, but isn't that, isn't the chemistry on the defensive line important too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think situational defense takes precedent over chemistry. But I don't know why on third and 17, I know you bring in a tight end, but I think we're going to see the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look now that we have so much information and the teams have so much information about this guy versus the run block. Yeah. If you have a guard who's a run block specialist, right? Why, why is he not good against the pass? Why is he in there in third and seventh? So they get his ass out. Now, the problem is if you're switching them all the time, the defense is going to know what you're going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Brown seemed to have decent offensive line depth, which they need because they have a lot of injury prone offensive linemen. I know they do, but we do have good depth, but I think, you know what, if the defense is shuttling their guys in and out and keeping everybody fresh, I don't know why we haven't seen anyone do that yet with the offensive line


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what though, I can't wait to see who emerges. There are going to be guys on this defense that have been Joe Schmo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That will emerge as players under Jim Schwartz. Mike Ford. It's gonna happen. Jordan Kanasek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, I understand that teams are doing that across the league. I think the Browns have devalued them to the point where they're basically just saying, you know, we can put anybody there. Doesn't matter who it is, we're just going to plug someone in at linebackers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've gotta have an impact guy there somewhere. And I don't know who he is. And it wasn't Phillips, you're right. Yeaah. He was depth. He was depth. Yeaah. But I still... To me, the Phillips injury is meaningless for the season. Is that your biggest area of concern for this football team? Yeaah, without a doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In football guys get hurt all the time. There's always injuries. When you lose random dudes, it's a minor factor. Look at the track record now for injury at that position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it, but it's not like much has changed between yesterday and today. They were already bad at linebackers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah. Do you think Jim Schwartz is worried about this mo- about this? Zero. Zero percent. Of course he is! No. Come on now. Zero. Bull, of all- of the defense as you're looking at it globally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the only time you're really in trouble is if your quarterback gets hurt. Anything else can be survived. But if Nick Chubb got hurt, yes, it would be a negative. That's huge. Not if you signed Alvin Cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, come on, I'm trying to find him, but he's not even listed under the linebackers. Maybe he didn't get enough. He probably didn't have enough snacks. And how much has he played? He played a lot last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I bet he was. God, look at our defensive tacklers. I think the highest one was like in the forties. Forties. Thirty-six is horrendous. Terrible. Yeah. Awful. He sucks. Who cares? Well, I think we're kind of getting off track on the argument. I'm not concerned that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it hurt us? Yeah, a little bit. I think the bigger issue here was how they have devalued the position to the point where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year we had four guys in that group that ended the year on injured reserve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we did nothing to improve that entire room in the offseason, either through free agency or draft. There's two tools to get better, not just draft. To me, it's, it's literally like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they put a hundred eggs in that basket and zero in the linebacker basket. And I would like to see them do like most great teams when they build. You parse it out here, you parse it out here, you got a little bit of resource here, you got a little bit of resource here. And the linebacker room is just a bunch of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well maybe, maybe that's what Jim Schwartz is trying to wash out of him. Forget, you know, just, just react. Just be a guy that sees the ball, follows the play. That's what linebackers are supposed to do. Yeah, you have assignments, but get to the ball carrier. That's, that's your real, that's your mission statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think what I said earlier, I think there's gonna be guys that were just guys that emerge as really big pieces to this defense. He's the number one guy in my mind. I think he's got a lot more talent than what we've seen and I think Jim Schwartz is gonna tap into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, Phillips has only played 20 games out of a 50 possible games in his three years on the team. That's all he's heard. The guys are nothing to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, yes, I agree with you guys. I'm concerned about linebacker being their weakness. We'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve claims, Steve Becker claims the Eagles never had any good linebackers with, with Jimmy Schwartz. That they never had any standout linebackers. Is that true? That's what he claims. I mean, maybe standout. He's an Eagles fan. Obviously he, his...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J-O-K, everybody's excited about him again. I don't know that I am, but everybody's excited. Taki Taki, J-O-K. Taki Taki played very well late in the season. They have, uh, what's his name? They're starting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're out there finally. Plus you got Knasek who's done a nice job when they've given him an opportunity. I don't think you need Jacob Phillips. I'm not sure he was definitely going to make the team. I would have been surprised if he was cut. I mean he's not going to make it now. He's not on the roster now. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have bad linebackers because they devalued it. They have bad linebackers because they've gotten the wrong guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They haven't panned out. So guys get hurt, you just want them to give up on them. You've got to go get somebody that can put a body that is a talent that you can put in that group. I think we're going in circles now at this point because we've, I get it, we all agree that the linebacker group is not that strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where we're going. That's where we're going. The guys on the street are not undrafted. There are other guys who were fourth round picks who have been cut. Maybe they're 36. Maybe they're 32.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they'll be okay. Uh, Jacob Phillips is not an NFL player. It doesn't matter that he got hurt to me. It doesn't matter who they replace him with. They're not going to panic about it because he's not a player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time will tell. Jim Schwartz, it's a different defensive coordinator and that could change everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Already, in a very small sample size, J.O.K. to me, looked like he's been reprogrammed. I don't know how you do that so fast, but he just played differently. And if J.O.K. and Walker and Taki Taki and whoever aren't- don't get hurt, then you're fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know what? They could be competitive. You know, they could still do it, but the defensive line was a disaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An absolute disaster. You know, your second number two sack, I had three sacks. Three. Yeaah. Well, they've gotten much better talent now they gotta prove it on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and hopefully they improve that group so much that the spotlight on the weak linebackers won't be as bright. Because in the Atlanta game, when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody was blowing by the first wave of our defense. Yeah. It was a unmitigated dumpster fire that the second tier couldn't tackle. They weren't any good. The bottom line is they were hurt. They weren't talented. If a talkie talkie played well until he got hurt last year, we saw the best football he could ever play. Anthony Walker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he's injury prone. You wanna, being, being critical of them for not adding other, like just bringing back the same guys who have been injury prone is fair. I just think the Jordan Elliott, I mean I just, I just don't care. Jacob Phillips. Jacob Phillips, not true. I don't care about Jordan Elliott either, he sucks too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a good teams, like, I'll be honest folks, if it, it, it, now the Bengals haven't been a traditionally good team. If the Bengals lost a player like this, I wouldn't even give a shit. I couldn't care less. Good teams with good quarterbacks that know how to win, those injuries don't matter because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just part of the game. It's what you expect. That guys get hurt. You can't be panicking about every Tom, Dick, and Harry fourth linebacker, fifth defensive lineman that gets hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't think. You don't want it to happen. That's not why I'm panicking, just to be clear. And I've said this, but I'll repeat it. I'm only panicking because I didn't like this group before he got hurt. To start with. That's fine. I like them even less now, but I didn't like them before he got hurt. I don't like them. My likeness for their linebacker has not changed because of this injury. The guy was essentially the worst linebacker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, Mike, embarrassing by you, that in your rundown you write, love this move, like this move, or don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's gonna love that move? I mean, it's a nothing move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't seen him play that much. I was just looking to see what the average per carry is. I'd say 4. It's almost 5. Oh really? 4.9. He's had about 200 carries in his NFL career. That's pretty good. Guys, 5 is holy grail. Yeaah, I mean, I was actually thinking a guy who could be a good fit in a very limited role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the Browns, who's out there, who's looking at some running backs out there, is Rex Burkhead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's 33. Yeah, that's old for a running back. That's ancient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but I always thought that he did everything well when he got a chance to do it. He just didn't get enough opportunity to do it. Wilkins has actually caught 41 passes on 52 targets. How old is Wilkins? Oh wow. 28 I think. Wait. 29. He's 29.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hasn't played a lot. He is a pass catcher though. He can play that pass catching role. I mean, he's, if you look at his career, he has, you know, 200 rushing attempts, but in the 52 targets. Is Kareem Hunt still unsigned?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Channel 3 Upstairs wrote a piece last week about maybe the ship hasn't sailed on Jadevion Clowney and I laughed. I said no, that ship has sunk. I saw his name connected to somebody. Yea, a couple teams. Yea, yea. But he's not going to play here. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It did play well. He didn't stand out, but I still think, I, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a big cream hunt guy. I think wherever cream hunt goes, I think you're going to see his, he's going to have more production next year than he had last year. He's not going to start anywhere. I could be wrong, but write that down. He's not going to start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Name a place he could possibly start. Who's Tampa Bay Starter? The kid they drafted last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what his name is? He's de facto already been named the starter though? He's got the job? I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Dalvin, no question. Yeah, no, no, no question about that. I would argue, even though I'm not a huge fan at this point, I would argue Zeke Elliott's better than Kareem. I got a question. No, I disagree with that. I just think that Zeke's got less than the bank. What about Buffalo? Buffalo? Why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got James Cook. James Cook played well for them down the stretch. I mean, these teams haven't been interested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it's, it's, I mean, it's the running back position in general. Buffalo's leading rusher's Josh Allen, really. I mean, he is, you know, but yeah, guess what? That's going to get you a one-way ticket to being irrelevant because he's going to get hurt. Kareem Hunt is not going to have any better of a role anywhere else than he would here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's how I describe the running backs. It's a game of musical chairs and the music just hasn't stopped. You know, everybody's walking around and there's certain chairs, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody's taking the needle off the record. It's just, they just keep walking around and walking around. When you get to week three of the pre-season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where there's two weeks to go before the regular season, someone's gonna stop. And once I think that first player signs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're going to see the other big names go. Yeaah, I mean, the Dolphins to me are a situation. They don't have one, they have like three backs that they are okay, but they don't have one standout guy. I could see him being effective in Miami. But like, Kareem Hunt's not going anywhere and getting 15 carries a game. That's just not happening. Let's guys get hurt. Uh, touches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, where we were two weeks ago, I never would have thought that we were going to be this quickly. Yeah. Have him back. I just think teams got their running back. So Dalvin cook is obviously still excellent. So he's going to take over somewhere, but Kareem hunt was subpar last year and he's not young. I think there's a, I think, well, how old is he? 28 Kareem hunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drink that for a while. Let's put the Kool-Aid down. Let's just, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about this a number of times. Can't remember the last time a team won the Super Bowl with an elite running back. Once upon a time that was the blueprint though.

[Assistant] That's New Phoenix. I grew up there. No, that can't be right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Galileo basis too, maybe three clicks that way. Another couple hours and we'll be home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll do respect, commander. If she was on Joelm Dommis' side, then why was she so sure I needed to get this before he could?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's been 30 years since they won three straight to start the season. I think it was either, it was either late 80s or early 90s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a trade proposal that the Browns should make today. We'll come in, oh I'll get to that later. Oh really? Huh, I really like this trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, there's something I gotta say that I'm a little disturbed by this morning. The fact that all of a sudden Mike has decided to use the word, it was bad enough he did it in our text chain, but now I'm seeing it on the graphic too. He's calling, he's shortening practice with P-R-A-X. What is that all about, Mike?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we're, we are more increasingly babying players, we are more increasingly being scared of injuries, and yet we have more injuries than ever. Yeaah, it's interesting, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't break them. Yes, it's anecdotal when I'm saying, oh, it seems like there's just so many injuries. But if it was clearly there were less injuries, we would


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you saw, if you watched the quarterback documentaries, you saw, uh, Patrick Mahone's trainer doing all these kind of weird exercises with him. Flexibility. Yes, flexibility and injury prevention, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, for those who may care about such things,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pro football focus before the year will grade position groups. And they had the Browns linebackers as the 14th best in the NFL. Or smoking something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you, could you just call him Big Thanos? Is that his nickname? That's his nickname. Yeah, that's what they call him. That's, I mean Thanos killed half the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I thought about our conversation about linebacker, and then I saw the PFF grade, but I still think the Browns could use an upgraded linebacker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I saw, so this morning I went and I said, okay, who's a team that has a good linebacking core and a bad offensive line that could, but that is trying to win. Like I wasn't going to go to Arizona, but they don't really care about winning. So what's a team that's competitive, pretty good, could be a playoff team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bad offensive line, needs a tackle, cause even if Dewan Jones, you know, let's say it doesn't go perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns have a lot of depth on the offensive line. Alright? And, and, so I think you could, you could make up for it there. They have no depth at linebacker. And they could, most importantly, what do they need at linebacker? A guy who can stop the run. Yes. Who can make those tackles. Yes. Okay. Give me his trade. So here's my trade, Mikey. Put it up on the, on the board here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, was the first round pick of the Seahawks. Now, he hasn't been great in Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he has struggled against the past. That's been his Achilles' heel. Right. But I'm not worried about that. I want him to go tackle guys. And that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has been excellent at. If you look at his overall PFF grade from last year, not very good. It's like in the, I think he's around 60. But if you look at just his run grade last year, it's very high. This guy, now, they did not pick up his fifth year option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're a competitive team. They were in the playoffs last year. They've got a loaded offense, but their offensive line stinks, especially at right tackle. They have nothing at right tackle. Jack Conklin, if healthy, would be an upgrade for them. And didn't they just pay Smith? They did pay Smith. So let's protect them. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I had the Browns giving up a better draft pick. Maybe they have to take on another contract from Seattle, something else instead. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whomever. Kenastic or, or, or, you know, cause other guys might not be ready. I think I'd go with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they asked him specifically, are you working Dewan Jones in practice at left tackle at all? And he said no. And it wasn't followed up on it. I'm thinking,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we're talking about, well, if Jack Conklin gets hurt, you know, he's gonna probably win. But if Jedrick Wills got hurt, Jack Conklin doesn't play left tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, in the last week, John Johnson has signed, and so did, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remind me Mike, send me a text please, will ya? I'll do it tonight. Okay. Uhm, but I think you guys did a good job. I think these guys are perfectly placed. They're important players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think the Browns have the potential. And again, it's potential. Neither of these units has proven much yet. No. To be top five defensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought they could have a top 5 secondary last year. They certainly did not. They had a lot of hiccups. I think that potential is still there and I think that now their potential will be top 5 online. Look at the talent that's back there. I mean they're dripping with talent back there. They have 5 potential


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pro Bowl caliber players in the secondary. They really do. They're mostly high draft picks, right? And they all at times look great. Now it's gotta come together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta say Aditi, I'm bothered by this. Uh, here in Cleveland, we obsess over slappies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it bothers me. It drives me crazy. Let's stop obsessing over slappies. Let's get excited about Hall of Famers!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm with ya, I'm not worried about lie back or that. They have injury prone guys, I think they're good enough if they're healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, as the resident Bengals fan here, I am not ignoring the Browns, I am ignoring the Steelers. And I've done that to some degree to my own peril, but the Steelers are not that good, I don't think. I think the Steelers, to me, are still the most likely team to finish in last place this year. Do you agree or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta say, if I ask you the question which team is most likely to finish last, none of these teams feel like a traditional last place team, including the Steelers, I agree with you. But if I were betting on who most likely finishes last, I would bet on the Steelers. Maybe not by overwhelming numbers, but they would, who else would you pick? Who would you pick? The Ravens?

[Assistant] The bottom line is once the regular season starts, if he costs him a game, you can't be too patient with a kick.
