[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he's not gonna play, particularly when I went out yesterday and did not throw the football well at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's a different story. As you're looking at these numbers bull, read the most recent tweets that kind of move the meter on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a big issue when DTR didn't get any of the reps before his first NFL start. You can't steal reps from PJ Walker if you think that's the way you're going. So this, Jason, are we reading this right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] the last three games, we've been all over the map, and we've been all over the map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We weren't sure, but the general manager said he was going to play. A week earlier. A week and days before the game. So we've been all over the map on this. I really think guys, as much as I do think now the wind is blowing in the direction of him playing, I still think what it comes down to is a Sunday morning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throw around on the field, and if things look good and he feels good,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been dinged, now he's out for the season and it's, it's Gardner Minshew. Who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I agree. I would much rather see the rookie in this situation, even though he does have the element that has proven to be, not that it was their kryptonite, but Lamar Jackson is really the only quarterback that's had any success at all against this defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a veteran, he knows what to do with the football, and like you said, if his first read isn't there, he knows to go through his check downs before he decides to run, where Richardson might be more apt to just tuck it and go. Speaking of the Ravens, the reason I don't want to see Minshew is because, and I know it's in any given Sunday league, but this quarterback,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This offense went to Baltimore and beat the Ravens. Yeah. So I mean, I, I know if they played 10 times, that outcome might only happen once, but to me, I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's damn good game. Yeah, no, that's a really good game. So, uh, I mean, look, we're going to find out. Here's, here's what I, gives me great comfort coming into this game. I know we have the Browns defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to me, it doesn't matter who's playing quarterback for the end team. With this defense being elite through five weeks, I feel very comfortable that they're going to be able to get this done on Sunday. X factor, I'm going to start with you because I feel like I know where you're going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the interest of time, everything you said. He's my X factor. Gotta be able to run the ball, particularly if you don't know what's going to happen at quarterback.

[Assistant] Is Sunday a trap game against the Indianapolis Colts? The Browns are coming off a huge win and they're playing a team, although it's on the road, that Vegas believes they should handle. For more on that, let's throw it to Mikey McNuggets who's standing by with Bernie Kozak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, McNuggets, thank you very much. Always good to hear and see Bernie Kozar. We're taking a break on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. We're coming right back though. It's one of our favorite segments. There's no wishy washy here. No fence riding. All of us pick aside on some key issues ahead of Sunday's game between the Colts and the Browns. Stay with us. We're coming right back.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we do every Friday, we love it. It's called No Fence Riders. Mikey McNuggets is going to give us a topic and basically we had to pick a side hardcore. No wishy washy here. Mikey, what's up for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's clearly the number one, number two and number three receiving option on this team. Nobody is even close to him in terms of statistics. If Deshaun Watson goes, I feel even more comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, he can play and still not throw the ball more than 20 yards downfield. Guys!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're coming right back. It's our favorite segment of the show. It's pre-written headlines. We tell you not just who's gonna win, but how they do it. When the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show comes, right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. We're here every Friday, 1230 to 1 on Channel 3. We are a five day a week show on YouTube plus the post game show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the fourth in the fourth quarter at the two minute warning of every game, you can check us out time for pre written headlines. I'm going to start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, and I did this with the idea that it was going to be PJ Walker, not Deshaun Watson. This would have been a lot easier if we'd have known Watson was going to play. Defense corrals the Colts. Yeah, Jim Swartz is the lead cowboy. Just third back to back win in nearly three years, which has been a long time, guys, since they've done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so you were the only one that got it right. This week, it's a clean sweep. Everybody picks the Browns. And historically, in this show's brief two-year history, when we all do that, they tend to lose. It does not go well, so hopefully that's not the case this time around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, very good. That's a great way to end the show. Let's go! We thank you for watching. Don't forget, tune in to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. Do it on YouTube at the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter on Sunday between the Colts and the Browns. See you then! Peace!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but right now, from what I've seen, it's just been too consistent on the offensive side of the ball. I think the defense will play better than they did in the first matchup against Lamar. Uh, you know, I think he hurt him in a lot of ways, uh, with his legs getting outside of the pocket, extending plays. I think they're gonna have to be better and they will be better on that side of the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't know if offensively we can keep up with, um, and put enough points on the board on the road in a hostile environment like Baltimore to, uh, to go in there and get a victory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, most importantly that he got that game under his belt before we go in and play these next two games against Baltimore and Pittsburgh. So I think that's very important. I think it would be a really tough ask to have the Sean, you know, miss those, you know, few weeks that he missed and come back and say your first, you know, your first test is here against Baltimore on the road. I think, uh, so I'm really glad he got that opportunity to play last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think the key for me would be to, you know, obviously eliminate turnovers. I think in the first game, obviously we had, we had a rookie quarterback in there making his first start ever. So, you know, he hurt the Browns defense, uh, quite a few times on turnovers and given the Ravens a short field to operate on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ready, ready to go in there and defend Lamar and that great Ravens offense. I think that's going to be the key. So, you know, it's, it's really on Deshaun and that offense to take care of the ball, put up as many points as possible, make some explosive plays in the passing game. But I think first and foremost, you've got to go in there with the mindset of we're not going to turn the football over offensively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think there's extra motivation when it's a, you know, a big game like that, a prime time game, like you were talking about, we have with the Steelers on the road that night. So, you know, the whole league is watching, you know, everybody's, you're the game on that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so there's a lot of eyes on you. So, you know, there's that extra motivation. You're on the road going into a big environment. Um, you know, so your extra focus locked in during the week, knowing you gotta have your preparation dialed in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, just all those factors, uh, you know, I think it's, um, you know, it's a division game, you know, also, so, you know, for the Browns going into a place like Baltimore, this is kind of that, that make or break game for them, right? You know, people want to know, is this team for real?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be playing at, you go win a game like that and the league is going to be talking about, you know, the Browns are for real. You know, everyone knows they have a great defense. You know, the question mark is, can they get it going offensively on a consistent basis? So going into the, you know, going into this week, it's certainly a lot of motivation for those guys to go out and win a big divisional game on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a guy like Joe Burrow, because I know Miles respects Lamar Jackson a ton as well. Uhm, you know, but I, you know, I truly think when Joe Burrow is healthy, I think it's pretty obvious that he's a top, you know, two or three, if not the top guy in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, you know, so I'm sure that he's thinking about that this week a little bit and would love to go out and have a great performance out of his defense. And, uh, you know, and, uh, you know, they shut down that offense and no one could seem to figure out right now. Lamar Jackson and that Ravens offense are on a tear right now. They're putting up a ton of points and, uh, you know, they're, they're so versatile. They run the ball so well, Lamar is throwing the football really well. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd be very concerned, you know, especially going in, uh, you know, on the road, you know, this week into an environment where it's extremely loud, it's hard to communicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think you go into a game like that with those injuries that they have and you have to, you know, determine what you're going to do in pass protections in certain situations. You know, who are you going to help? Which side are you going to send the back to? Are you going to chip? Are you going to lead the tight end in? Are you sliding the line in that direction to give them a little bit of help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was intense. You know, I remember we went there in 99 and obviously, you know, the Browns left in 96. They were out of the league for a few years. So we came back, you know, as a new Browns, you know, we were going up with first time we went on the road there and played. There was a lot of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, you know, and I, but I love those, you know, I think that's, uh, you know, makes for a great rivalry and, uh, you know, it's fun, fun to play in those games, even though, you know, we didn't have a whole lot of success against them back then because obviously they had one of the best defenses in the history of the league with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Gee Bush, I'm the captain of the Kool-Aid Mafia, and you're gonna find out today if I picked the Cleveland Browns to drink the Kool-Aid three weeks in a row. Stay tuned, Jason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a win for the Browns. We've been fast and loose with the football. I think we're second in the league in giveaways. P.J. Walker made just enough plays down the stretch to get the Browns in field goal position and scored touchdowns at the end of the game against the Colts. If he can keep the football, no predetermined throws, and he can stay on schedule second and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe third and three. That's where we want to be with PJ Walker. Hopes are expectations. Yeah, there is a difference in this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a quick, legitimate shot to win the game. Kevin has to help him out. Not too much shotgun 5 wide where you gotta have great protection. You gotta have a back end to maybe max protect and he has to get it out on screens and different things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, to Bull's point, he did have a play. All he has to do is lead him to the left hand corner, the end zone to the pie line. Touched easy touchdown. He had two throws where he stepped up against the 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to have to get some easy stuff for him. Some different things like deep comeback routes and different things like some speed outs to get him comfortable. But you can't ask him to make the throws. He can't make the throws. Yea, that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenneth Walker, because it looked like the Browns had tackling issues last week. You saw Grant Delford, Mr. Coffey tackles, uh, you, you took, uh, uh, uh, Newsom as well as, uh, Emerson, Mr. Tackle in a long run with a receiver. So you got Kenneth Walker coming in here, 240 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He already has 450 rushing yards already and the problem with him is they're going to be able to go ahead and pound the ball and then play action to another big guy, DK Metcalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bobby Wagner looks faster at practice. He looks like he hasn't lost a step. As a matter of fact, he's running side for side with receivers down the sideline on wheel routes. I think Bobby Wagner has a lot left in the tank and he's going to be a guy in this game that's going to have his impact felt all over the field because he runs sideline to sideline and when he touches you, you go down. I got Kenneth Walker number


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, he's going against, uh, Devon Weatherspoon and Tariq Woollin, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, is a bad man himself. Six foot three, six foot four corner, we're in a four, four two, and a forty long, they get long corners out there, Richard Sherman, obviously, but I think Amari Cooper, even though they got really good corners, I think Amari Cooper is a route tactician.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I tell you what, listen, I like the Browns, I drink the Kool-Aid, I'm still the captain of the Kool-Aid mafia, but this week a little different with that crowd. I think they'll at least get to five or three in a couple of weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Steve, like speaking of Steve. Oh, by the way, I got the thing. Oh, you don't have the new earpiece? Oh, it's back there, but Steve ain't got some cord for it or something like that. Steve don't care about it. Steve told me two days ago that he was going to do it and I still am using the generic earpiece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my mom's name. And apparently still sharp as a tack. And what are y'all doing for her birthday, Steve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all, y'all know me, you know who that. I'ma, I'ma talk till I die, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. And, you know, and this workout that we did, it was very interesting. And I really believe that they put extra stuff on my workout. I gotta talk to Innocent about this. Extra season salt? Yeah, cause they, they like turned the volume up because I was talking crazy to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that was a lot of information to take in, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think it goes back to Bull's point about who each team played, but you can't necessarily say that because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, the ravens and the browns play some similar teams, and as good as their defense is, they might have not had that same success against those teams. Like I think that, let me see that uh, that chart that shows the browns net yards, the uh, the top three net performers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my whole point was is that they played the same amount and although you can say that Arizona's offense isn't good or Tennessee's offense isn't good, they still played, the Ravens played them too and they didn't hold them to those type of numbers as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very true. I mean when I look at it, I mean when you look at a defense, what do you, what's the number one stat that a lot of people care about? Sax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Takeaways and points. I only care about points. I mean, ultimately. I care about that. That's the most important. I really care about. I'm a DB, so I care about takeaways. Yeah, I mean, that's big. I mean, they tied, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, listen, if all of these stats is true, it should be a 6-3 game is what we're about to get. But, I mean, obviously I'm biased because I like the Browns defense and I love the talent that they got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ravens though, I mean, we're splitting heads here. That's what I'm saying, like both of them is really good. I can't say who has the number one defense. I really don't know. You can make an argument for both and I won't tell you you're wrong. Both of them is really good defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think the number one thing is he brings that energy for sure. If you look at Denzel Ward last year and you look at him this year, you could tell that totally he's more locked in this year and on top of anything, he's having way more fun out there. I mean, the little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The little striking up, the guitar thing, I mean you see it all the time. And I think that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No knock to Joe Woods, but Denzel is a man to man corner and you kept putting him in those zones and it was so, it was a lot of thinking involved. Obviously we seen the coverage busts against, uh, the Jets game where they completely just whiffed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think it's not a lot of thinking involved. He knows, hey, I got this dude right here. I'm going up against probably the best receiver they got every game. I know I'm like that. I'm back. I'm a hundred percent healthy and I know I can strap anybody up. And I think Jim Schwartz brought that confidence in there because coming into the season, everybody was like, he had a bad year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you see these guys hunting, you see the success, so you start buying in more and you know that you're a pivotal piece of that. Because if you got a number one corner that can shut a guy down, you helping guys get sacks or you getting interceptions. And I think that's what we see in this, you're just a confident Denzel who's having fun, that's really enjoying what he's doing and he don't have to think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played San Francisco vs Oakland Raiders in 2018, was it 2017-2018? We ran man to man, probably 50 snaps. And I looked at Robert Sala like, dude, you can't call on nothing else? Man, I was like, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You truly have to believe and, and, and without doubt that I am the best player ever to play this game. If you don't have that confidence, you're never gonna last that corner because you're on an island by yourself. And if they beat you, if they just happen to be, you gotta be crazy enough to say to yourself, that was fluke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll never get that again, and you gotta line up and go play again. So, listen, for me, when I look at Denzel last year, it wasn't the fact that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't feel like he was that far away. It just felt like he was a step off last year. It was like one step. He would be close, but he would never make the play. Like he'd give up the catch, but he'd be right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year, he's all over the stuff this year. Like he, he running routes for people in picking bowls also. It's like he's totally locked in. He's bought in. His field preparation is unbelievable because he's running routes for wide receivers and his confidence is through the roof. I'm telling you that man right there believes that he's the number one corner in this league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I would tell you is, is that there's always stuff that's going on in athletes' lives. And it does trickle down to your play at times. You might not necessarily think it does, but it does in the grand scheme of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that maybe a little bit of stuff that he had going on kind of seeped into his play a little bit. And I think he tried to find himself later on in the season, but it's like the damage had already been kind of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was coverage busts, they was losing games that they shouldn't have lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they did, it was something like, as simple as...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think for me, when I realized that this, this team was special this year, when I finally was like, they got something. There is something there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think this game, I mean this San Francisco scuffle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They was sprintin' over there like, I got you bro, hold on, what you doin'? So I think that to me lets me know that this team is, they got each other's backs. Like I said, PJ Walker started that game and they didn't blink. Them dudes was like, don't worry PJ, we got you on defense. We gonna hold it down until you get right. Like that's special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why I think that's the biggest difference. I don't know who brought the change. I don't know if it was Jim Schwartz. I don't know if Kevin Stefanski said something different. I do know having new coaches in there will change culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this team to me, if anything, they got each other's backs no matter what. Obviously we seen David Najoku come on and out of the little 10 minutes he talked, he made sure he said, we believe in Deshaun Watson, we got Deshaun Watson's back. Like he letting you know like we all in on this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm, if I, as a matter of fact, the first time we, they played the Ravens, I sat right here and I said that they should have some type of good game planned for Lamar and G. Bush scolded me and said they should just rush in there and get after him. And I said, I'm just telling you right now, you're going to create some lanes and it's going to get dangerous and we know who won that argument. So I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, you know, I'm not worried about the rushing attack from the running backs because I think that the defensive tackles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has to be the ones that get that nipped in the bud. Your defensive tackles have to be solid. I mean, coming off of Arizona, yes, I know it's Arizona, but coming off of that performance, it showed that y'all have the ability to be very effective in the run game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you guys can clog up that middle and keep your linebackers free, they'll be able to free flow and be able to hit these running backs and hit these and hit Lamar and get our half eyes on Lamar. I think the difference between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the other quarterbacks, like Gardner Minshew when he ran on it. Nobody expected Gardner Minshew to run the ball, so that was why he was affected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Lamar, you will have eyes on Lamar. You better make sure you got a skillful athlete that can chase him down and everybody better be ready to run inside and out to the ball because the guy on the outside has to keep him contained and knows everybody else between the D-line and the linebackers gotta flow inside out and make a tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause when I said that last, when I said that first game, I said, you know what? They shouldn't get after Lamar. They should keep him in the pocket and don't have no lanes that he could escape out of. And you told me, blasphemy. Get out. What is this defense good at? We get after him. Don't stop. Don't change what you do for Lamar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is J.O.K. playing? Is he playing the wheel or the Sam? Is he every down? No, no. So he's only coming in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you telling me, so when we go nickel, it's Will Walker and Tony Fields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you wouldn't go nickel. You wouldn't have a corner at the nickel spot. No, I would still have a corner. Oh, you're taking a lime?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think it's one of those things, if you are a homer, like if you had a team that you were solid with, like this is the team that I ride for, it would be an issue. But if you're telling me that you're totally unbiased and you don't have a team that you're loyal to, then by all means. I mean, it's free!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's funny you bring him up because you just led me right to my question for you. I'm gonna make a statement. I'm gonna make a statement. You tell me if it's foul or fair. Okay. Given the situation of this year, of everything that he's been through, should he be coach of the year for what he's done?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had to pick a defense for the rest of this season, which one you taking Baltimore or the Brown?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ain't heard it, man. Sheesh. That would be interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of us all said yes. I do because the, the Browns is gonna really try to get him, get him involved. They gonna give him like 22, 23 carries and I'm figuring at some point after Deshaun dices up, gets him a couple of completions, they'll be a little lax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he'll get a seam. I ain't sayin' it's gonna be much. I mean, Lamar had how many rushing yards in the first game? Like- 29.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they gonna have a game. Listen, Lamar Jackson is not gonna be the reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not fair to Elijah Moore because he could have had games with more than 50 yards. If P.J. Walker would have hit him, the two- Mark Cooper did. He was, he threw, he skipped the ball off the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's disgusting. Get some sanitizer. You are sick. Man, these guys, man, y'all cats is wild. I got Deshawn with two, one, one Russian one pass. This whole show is out of pocket. The whole show is out of pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm telling you, Jim Swartz is gonna say Lamar is not beating us in the run game. He had two touchdowns, he's not beating us in the run game. I hope. And they gonna, they gonna misfit a gap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the rest of it gonna be nickel and diamond for the rest of the game. But I think the Browns do win the game overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eat up all the inside gaps. Good luck. That's, we, we are the Y9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what did the Ravens running back have in the first game? 48. 48 was the highest? What was that, Gus?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They gettin' they stride. They can get 12 more yards. I don't think they gonna win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? Cedric Tillman, because it's gonna be a point where you have to justify trading DPJ, keeping him, and drafting him in the third round. You gotta get him in the end zone at least once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. If that's what you wanna call it. Water hose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's transition to the Ravens. What do you see, what's a weakness on that defense that you think Kevin Stefanski can exploit and help them win on Sunday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they pretty solid all the way around. I mean, Marlon Humphrey still is really good. Gino Stone, if you put it up there and you hear him, he come take it. So, and they, they, they really. Yeah, and hey, so let me ask you this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so because of the bomb that he threw at the end of the game to Cooper and the way that the velocity to zip on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Yeaah, those two throws, I was like yeaah, he good, he good. I'm not going, I wouldn't squad or play underneath the routes because I think though he got a lot of zipping, he can still push that ball out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How important is, I always wanted to ask the quarterback, how important is footwork in, in, uh, and what do you think of Deshaun's footwork when he's throwing the ball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on man, come on man. Listen, I'm not about to sit up here and bow. I saw the ravens get touched just like y'all did against the Colts. I saw them get touched. We got touched against the Colts. Yea, I know. So it's the same difference. That's what I'm saying. My thing is, the reason I'm going with the Cleveland Browns is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been dominant against teams, and when I mean dominant, under 50 yards, 70-something yards, 140-something yards, and by the way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's be real. The reason our defense is better than their defense is, if you go out and you watch the Ravens play, they got their quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they know they don't have to hold nobody to zero points. Lamar Jackson and his cast of characters have a solid offense. They can go, and as a matter of fact, people say he's playing like the MVP right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the level of stress that's on their defense ain't the same. We are not built the same. Lamar Jackson is out here putting up decent numbers. Look at them numbers he's putting up. That's what we had. P.J. Walker. We can't win no games. We had DTR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We played the majority of our games with PJ Walker and DTR, and we knew to beat the 49ers, you had to hold them to a certain amount of points. To beat the Bengals, you had to hurt them to the... Like, we don't got no juggernaut offense. Our quarterback play has been horrible. But guess what? Our defense has been the reason we've won games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you Lamar Jackson them, they can say they 72 because Lamar Jackson and what he doing for us. Our defense is the reason, the whole soul reason that we have five wins and on top of it, they don't have miles Garrett. If everything's being equal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like basketball. If everything be equal, you gonna say, well, who got the star player? Charles Barkley said all the time, star player. If you got LeBron, he's the equalizer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like their defense. I like the guys in the secondary. I even like what they're doing up front. But Kyle VanNoy and, and, and, and, and your boy, uh, Jadavian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool. That's fine. But y'all don't got the premier guy. They got good guys. They don't got a premier guy. We got a guy that can take over and win you a football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they don't got that. I'm going with the browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now didn't they get, didn't they get, didn't they get another dude that tours ACL for Michigan or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And them moving Patrick Queen outside of the middle and now you have Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen. And they drafted a rookie from Clemson didn't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just going back, well you can't run man to man coverage against so and so because they'll pick you apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is what it is. That's what we like, man. Listen, I don't want my coaches, you can mix some zone up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a mix-up, but listen, I don't like my defensive coordinator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And see if they can make a mistake. No, we make you make mistakes. We're going to put pressure on you and we're going to be in your face. I don't like that. They didn't do it without blitzing, too. Yeah, just go ahead and just sit back and let them carve you on up and then hold them to three. You give it up points. Your name is, is a defensive coordinator at Xylet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We supposed to be attacking. I love attacking style defense. And they, when you watch these guys, Martin Emerson is a big corner. You got, you got Denzel Ward who's best, who's best characteristics when you go back to Ohio State. He's playing man to man. And you got guys that want to get after the quarterback. Everything works hand to hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be putting your linebackers. That's why Taki Taki only play 20 something snaps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got a high PFF grade because he played like 12 snaps. Good. On run downs. Don't be putting them guys back there talking about, well, we couldn't get our mics in there to the deep zone. There's a reason mics don't get back to the deep zone. Cause their names is mics. They don't do that. That's like, so I love the fact that they got him, got him hype and excited now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough. I mean, I've been, I've been in their doghouse too, but it's okay. You can always apologize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyvus, you done been on squads, you done been on teams that hang out together, that party, that kick it, that's real Tyvus, but then you be on other squads and they don't like each other like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This team looks like they like each other. They look like they got more camaraderie, they more, they, they all planned. Last year it seemed like they was like saying, look, I'm sacrificing what I do best for somebody else because they can't get it done. Like, here's the thing, you don't have to get on the same page when I know who I got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I could go to you and be like, you got beat on a corner route. Not, well, I was supposed to pass three off and it was a two by one, but the two by one and it was a cloud coverage. Nah, I don't hear


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need that work because here's the thing, a lot of times with the Browns, and I'm starting to feel, I'm starting to see in these chats in different places, the Browns is, Browns fans is tired of it. Like we're tired of taking two L's to the Ravens every year. Like let me just remind you, the Baltimore Ravens are your old team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost the equivalent of what they did. It's like you losing your ex-girlfriend or wife. And guess what happens? She not only loses weight, she gets smarter, she gets a degree, she's winning in life, and she marries a supermodel dude that's more famous than you. You're supposed to be upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a couple years, they won a championship. They took your best player, Ozzy, Ozzy Newsome, and then they made him director of player operations. And all he did was, was go get player after player, Superbowl after Superbowl and go to give guys that are Hall of Famers. And you've been left holding the bag at some point in time. Someone's going to have to get upset and say, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, here's the thing. As you said before, Bull, he didn't really kill you on the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you gotta do going into this football game is you have to actually do something and take something away from Lamar Jackson. The problem everybody has with Lamar Jackson is they don't do, you're a man without a country. You don't stop the run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't stop the pass. You give them a bunch of time to throw the ball and make plays and scramble around, but you still give them running lanes on read options and RPOs. So what you have to do against Lamar Jackson is you have to establish that, listen, at all times, Lamar Jackson, you will have a chaperone. You will be held accountable. You're going to have to either run or pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would put JOK on him and I say, JOK, you have no responsibilities. Your job is to follow him wherever he goes. Make sure you go ahead and get that done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what I'm doing up front is I'm saying, look, our job is to stop the run. No read option, no triple option, no RPOs. If Lamar Jackson wanna sit back in the pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And throw for 350 yards on man to man coverage. I'm going to shake his hand and I'm going to go back to Cleveland and say, listen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did what you need to do. But Lamar Jackson, in my opinion, he cannot sit in the pocket and not scramble and be effective and throw for 350 yards. As a matter of fact, going back a couple of years, I give you exhibit A. You didn't have the exhibit. They don't have it ready, but I'll give it to you next time. Exhibit A is here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went to Baltimore and he gave you four first half interceptions, Bull. Four first half interceptions. And the Browns with your guy, JJ3, they did a good job of keeping them in the pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now listen, Tyrus, you misconstrued. You get after him. Listen, you conflate two things. Just cause you get after the quarterback doesn't mean you blitz. We got one of the best pass rushes with just four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I'm talking about. You gotta get after him. We're not gonna bait and sit here and panic-ate. We got Myles Garrett, Zendaya Smith, Dalvin Thompson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm going, if I'm going Nickel, I would like to have, uh, McCloud as a safety, and I would like to have Dope It in the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, yea, you get them free, you can say, I'm willing to wear anything from anybody in the league as long as it's free. I'm just representing everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it ended today, we'd get a kosher extension with the Browns. Foul affair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you, let me ask you a big picture question indeedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We was kind of tossing and turning and tumbling this in my head. So if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, say for instance, you got your boy, Sean Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They come back down, Lamar Jackson just makes some plays on the defense. Justin Tucker kicks a field goal. They lose by one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think, do you think Brown's fans would be okay with a close loss to this Raven scene if they're seeing progress from Deshaun Watson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He already, he, he was, he was due for one and he missed it last week. I know, he due for, he, he hit way too many in a row at Cleveland. Way too many, right down the middle. But it's in Baltimore. I know, and I was on the road and it's a big game. He's gonna miss like a 46 yarder, but he's gonna, he's gonna go three or four. Three or four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't seen Justin Tucker miss ever against the Browns. I seen him miss a field goal. I have not. Listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Jerome 4, I'm, I'm, I'm almost tired of seeing him get carried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah Moore has the most yards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it's a lot to put a lot on your plate. This is a game you gotta, if you want to come out and be a dude that the city loves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't mind seeing the eagle front. I wouldn't mind seeing two, three techniques in the nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this should be, and I've been, well, at least I give bull credit. Bull was saying, lot, lot of our brethren is like, oh, Kareem Hunt's washed. Listen, Kareem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He on three wheels. Listen, Kareem Hunt, this a Kareem Hunt football game. You, you need to establish something. You, you got the big bad ravers coming into town. They playing, they playing at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna need to have somebody running physically. That's right. You don't need guys running backwards and looking scared. Like, like, you know, they need to go call their mom because the bully down the street beat them up. You need to do this and get the ball and run hard for three yards and understand that, hey, I'm gonna be back here doing it again and again and again. All this, this cute stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a Kareem Hunt football game. I hope Kevin Svansky, he said he was running the football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, look, this is coming. I just want to let y'all know that the tendency breakers, they've, they've had Nick Harris on a bunch of stuff, tight end, full back. Nick Harris is going to, you know, get out in the flat. He's gonna catch a touchdown. Fast to the flats. No, it's gonna be in the flats. He's gonna be a corner angel. Do you think he can catch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cedric Tillman. That's funny because it really is that hard to think. Yea, because Cedric Tillman played like 96 snaps and people talk about maybe DPJ got traded. You know what? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bernie, let me ask you this question. I was watching, I was in the time machine. I was about 87, 88.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, I keep watching these games and one of the, one of the things that y'all used to run, they don't run it no more like they used to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They used to run the delayed draw and used to run that to earn his binary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that thing, that thing would get you 12th. I'm like, man, this is wild. It would open up. I'm like, wow. Look, this is crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking at it like from a chance, from a standpoint of, look, you got Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For, uh, uh, an aggressive defense like the Raiders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What can you do in a game? Uhm, one of the things I respect-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, you know, one thing I most admire about your game is, is the fact that you were able to do things pre-snap, uhm, and play some mind games with the defense and get your team in the best play. When you don't have your, you know, when you're not, he's not 100%, he's still working some of the rust off, are, are there some things he can do mentally?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to get his team into some good plays rather than just leaning on the physical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the lion's share of the targets. Uhm, when you guys were playing, what went into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what the progression was. Did, did you guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a quarterback going against, uhm, a guy like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can, you can lean, you can take a quarterback down and put all your weight on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, uh, you know, for, for, for Deshaun, it's, uhm, you know, it's, uh, you know, I, I saw where you guys were talking about Deshaun said he sees everything. Like that is awful for a quarterback. Like I can't believe, I didn't play in the social media era where we had, you know, to listen to people on Twitter and Instagram and all this kind of stuff, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, how do you, um, you know, have the confidence in yourself after reading that kind of stuff? You know, it's very difficult. You know, people inside, I can block it out. I just want to, you know, but you really can't, you know, that, that stuff affects you when the fans are booing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, people are complaining. They're questioning your toughness. They're questioning, uh, do you want to be out there? You're making this much money. Are you, you know, you, are you just content with all the money you've made now? You don't even really want to play. You hear all those things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm going to play, you know, unless I have a broken bone or I just had surgery, like I'm going to play through any injury that I can play through and it was just kind of a kind of that mindset that we had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows if he's capable of going out there and playing. And from what I saw when he was out on the field against Indianapolis, he did not look like he was ready to play football. Uhm, you know, I think he, he may have rushed it a little bit. You know, he may need to, may need a few more weeks because, you know, he didn't play well while he was out there. He was throwing interceptions. The ball didn't look like it had a whole lot of velocity on it. Uh, so I just hope he can, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get himself healthy and get back out on the field and uhm, you know, and get back to that form. Hopefully that what he was in Houston, that's what we all want to see. That's what we paid him to be here for. So, you know, hopefully he can get back to that soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's an extremely tough place to go play a game. I played a road game there as well, and it's just so loud. So, you know, to me, especially for a backup, communication is key. You know, how are you going to communicate at the line of scrimmage? Because you're not going to be able, they're not going to be able to hear you more than likely on most plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who hasn't started many games in this league, started many games with this team, and uh, you know, you're going in a tough environment on the road like that, trying to communicate those things. It's extremely difficult for a starter, you know, a guy who's, you know, seasoned and been in the league for a long time, much less a guy who hasn't played very often, especially within this system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it makes a big difference. You know, I think obviously you're getting more reps. You're getting all those walkthrough reps as the first team guy. You know, when you're the backup quarterback, the first team, the starter is out there going through all those walkthroughs throughout the week where you're going through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, you, you, you start to get more comfortable with that because you're, you've done it in practice. You, you know what kind of what to expect when the game comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you just feel more comfortable going into it as a starter. You know what's expected of you as a starting quarterback and then certainly that preparation of having those practices and being the guy all week long certainly helps the quarterback get ready for those moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who's making, uh, you know, one of his, you know, very few starts that he's made in the league. Also some play action helps quite a bit, you know, getting the ball out to the tight end, crossing routes, little check downs over the middle, uh, just, just making sure that he's playing fast. You know, I think that's the biggest thing, not trying to ask too much, not giving him these big full field reads where he's out there trying to go from one side of the field to the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just one, two, if it's not open, check it down or run. Uh, you know, just make it simple for him like that. And, and, uh, you know, I'm sure that that's the, that's kind of what the game plan will be this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I did a 10-leg parlay. Uh, Jay, I sent it to you, man. I already know you responded to it. I saw it. I got LeBron James over six and a half assists. Michael Porter Jr. over six, uh, six plus rebounds. I got Jamal Murray six plus assists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got Joker, 8 plus assists. I got Jamal Murray, 2 plus made 3-pointers. Austin Reeves, 2 plus made 3-pointers. This is where it gets funky. Kevin Durant, over 5.5 assists. Steph Curry to score 25 plus points. Devin Booker to score 25 plus points.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, bull out match on bold prediction, prediction with a bigger one. I think Cedric Tillman will only have two catches, but one of them will be for a touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe on points. Bad, I want him to lose. Bad! Please let Jay lose this week. I think, I think. See where we are. I think they tie for first. Yeaah, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, no, because Watson's not going to get a pass if it's a bad season. But we can't do anything with him. So his, his referendum comes next year. If he does not play well this year, he does not play well next year. At the start of next year with a new coach, people around the league will be like, you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna say it's not all, not all on him, but what I'm saying is the brunt of the failure always goes to the next regime. When we, when Baker took the L, it was some on Stefanski because people talked about why is he playing them and did he put him in the best position. So guess what? Baker ultimately went, Stefanski had the, he had the next, right. Guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year is also Fenske and Barry. If you don't get it done, they're out of here. Now guess what? A new coach comes in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, playoffs is playoffs. No, no, if you beat, if Kevin Stefanski pulls this together, they come in and the 49ers are looking like they are the NFC champs already, and you beat them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the biggest, that's the signature win. That's one of the biggest wins that I've seen in Cleveland in ever. They showed the throwback of when the 49ers came into Cleveland and was playing the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got the best left tackle in the league. They got the best running back in the league. They got a top five receiver. They got almost the best number two receiver. They got the number one middle linebacker. They got the top three tight ends. And guys, do you know how they do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since 19, it is now 23. Yeaah. They have, they have transformed from, into one of the best, one or two. Okay. And the, don't the Browns have one of the best defenses? Yes. Yes. Okay. But we ain't got none of the other stuff. I was about to say. None of that. Flip it, flip the ball. Trent Williams, Jed Wills. So from now on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's prisoner of ten moments. No, like, no, this, we're not gonna act like this fan base is a unified front behind De'Shawn Watson. No, I'm not talking about, I'm talking every fan base in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. I mean, usually most fanbases are, would they have a franchise quarterback? Bengals Nation is all in on bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you go to, listen, do you go to any other place?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The off-field stuff, I don't like it. Then there's a group of people who like the move, but they feel like they gave up too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way he was blocking him, like, like they got tight ends that are ferocious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary Kay, we, you know, we, we look at DTR, obviously, if he has to play and Deshaun Watson doesn't play against the 49ers, it'll, it'll probably be a better outing in terms of, uhm, what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he does not play well that game, do you foresee any other veteran quarterbacks coming in here or are they fine with PJ Walker, uh, as, as their third guy if DTR is not performing well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mary Kay, what? Oh man. Where is, where is Cedric Tillman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and we've been seeing David and Joku a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helping out pass, pass blocking, chipping, doing things up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it just seems like there's a little lack of the passing game and we don't have very many guys out in the route. You see Harrison Bryant more than Joku. Haven't seen Cedric Tillman, big body receiver. It just seems like, you know, those guys have just been kind of taken out of the playbook a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what gives me cockiness is studying. When you go into a test and you're ready to knock a test out, that means you put the work and due diligence in to learn what's going on and you're confident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason I'm not confident is because I've watched the all 22 from every single game twice. And what I see from the coaches tape is not pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you take your best player that's been hiding your ineptitude at play calling and your schemes, you look a lot better than you are. You take Nick Chubb out of this run game, they don't even try to establish the run game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't even try it. They just throw their hands up and put a fifth, put a fifth round quarterback in against the Baltimore Ravens and go five wide. Do you know how demoralizing that is? That has nothing to do with Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets got a damn good defense. Yeaah. And let's be clear about this. So do we. Listen, I like their defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look at it like this. I would not be surprised if they go into the, if they play the Jets and lose that game. Well, they did last year. Yea, they lost last year. They should not lose that game. Absolutely not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I mean, I respect him, but I just have a hard time thinking like, you can't let rookies come in and look better. The offense can't look better. Every one of his games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, I think they're in the same area as the Chargers, the Rams, the Bengals, uhm, and then there's a couple of teams in there that is just sneaky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, and don't we have to think about that a little bit? Sure. Even if Watson is playing, he was just working through rust, right? Now you're working through rust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I do, I do want to let y'all know, like, if he gets hurt during, like, this is what happens when you have setbacks, right? He just sat three weeks. He come back in this game, he feel the pressure to play, now he play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go out there, non-contact throw, he hurt his shoulder. Or, by the way, I mean, he has to be able to just protect himself, because at the end of the day, we got one of the worst left tackles in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not according to ESPN? Well, that's according to them. I don't know what they're looking at. Everybody got an opinion. Uh, at the end of the day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This season's the wife. And then you're old for two on five years. Yeah, yeah. See what I'm saying? Like, you can't, like, what are you gonna wait for? If he's not a hundred percent, he's not playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my problem. We've already been through this. See, Brown's fans learn, but never come into no knowledge. You always learning. Baker Mayfield sat a couple weeks. He was hyped and amped up. He sat one week. He sat one week. He said, I'm back for Pittsburgh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You come sliding in Pittsburgh, you could have played the backup, and then we got the whole season, we talking about the shoulder. When you could have waited it out, did what you needed to do and play. Now here's the thing, this time if you mess it up, you got a whole organizational reset. So,

[Assistant] Look man, you did this before with a number one overall pick. You got three number ones invested in a guy. You got a boatload of money. Now he's gonna say, well look, how am I supposed to feel about it? You put Baker out there, then you hung him out to dry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You came and got me. I got here and thought we was going to get a little better. Guess what? You telling me to go out there and we got Jed Wills protecting me? My arm is, and then they've already come out and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now watch this too. If they're not structurally wrong, but he's out here throwing the ball and it's not in his right mechanics, in the right motion, now all of a sudden,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, and by the way, this is their worst nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Stefanski's worst. Yeah, cause it's job boulder love. Job and Watson. And Barry, he's looking crazy because you got one of the most experienced guy, inexperienced guys backing you up when just last year with Baker, you had the most expensive


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We won for, listen, we won for two. You know what I'm saying? We got, we got DeWine Jones. Let's not act like we didn't get that one. But DTR, listen, it's ready to go, man. Basketball season. Imani Bay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've talked to Miles before where he said, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't let them score. If they can't score, they can't win. So your point, Gene, the defense is intact for this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defense isn't punting this game, guys. Like, I'm sure Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski are looking at this and going, boy, you're being realistic about it, but when you're a player in the locker room and on the field,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're going to win the game. You're playing to win the game. And the defense I'm sure is thinking, turn them over, give the offensive short field. If we generate a couple of turnovers early, get some momentum, get the crowd in this game. They absolutely, the defense absolutely thinks they can win this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well again, then they've laid hands on him and they've anointed him with oil and there's been a miracle because he's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was having a conversation all the way in here. Something doesn't, something doesn't make sense with this. And I, I just texted Mikey and I was in the locker room on Wednesday and I texted Mike and I'm like, he can't raise his arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he- so the way the brown s- locker room is set up there, Deshaun stores his cleats really, really high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he couldn't use, like he was doing everything left handed. He had to, you have to climb up on your chair in order to reach up and he put those up left handed. And then he had to go grab his sandals and he did that left handed. His right arm was dang, it was like watching miles last year after the car accident where he couldn't put his shirt arm. His right arm was just dangling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. This is what doesn't make sense. Like, and I said, like maybe, you know, we're Zapruder filing this now, right? Like where we're watching every move he makes in the locker room in the three and a half minutes that he's in there with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he's just screwing with us by doing that. He doesn't strike me as a guy that would do that. Like there are some that absolutely would do that. I don't think he's one of them. I think it's, it's bothering him that much. He couldn't raise his arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They missed it up front. It could be a re-aggravation over a period of time. It could be a misdiagnose. I don't know, but it's, none of this has made sense. None of it from the start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Like it was a short thing. And the players, again, after the last game were adamant, oh, he'll play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. It should have happened already. But the Jets went through this. Who is there to go get? There's nobody to go get. Who are you going to get?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go back to Deshaun. I don't know how he finished the game. If he was this hurt, how did he even finish the game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to go back to Betonio, maybe it's the same thing, where it's the adrenaline, you're loose, you're warm, you can fight through it, and then the next day when you wake up, you're like, oh man. I'm just telling you, when he left the locker room, he looked fine to me. Like, I don't even think he got x-rayed or anything, or he looked fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I, I don't know that it is a punt, because like, I mean they rolled with DTR last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned it over 15 times. Zach pointed out to me this week, the Bears had guaranteed, owed him guaranteed money this year and they still cut him. Like that tells you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think anyone's punting this game. I don't think so. The coaching staff, the front office, everybody knows what's at stake this year. I don't think you can punt on anything. I wouldn't have picked him out of a lineup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't love it. You're in a different role now, man. I've had players cuss me out plenty of times over things that I've written. You don't take that back to the public. It's only a couple things that you get mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin and Andrew saying he's gonna play against San Francisco and then I see him in the locker room Wednesday and he can't even put his shoes away with his right arm. He has to use his left arm. It doesn't look like he's anywhere near playing. Make it make sense for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, we just make it sound like, well, if the shoulder's right, just go out there and play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This offense does not look good outside of one game, and he hasn't, like, he needs to practice, does he not? Like, how hard is it if he's a quarterback? You're just gonna roll out there and play without even practicing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're probably the perfect one to ask this because you played on such horrendous teams at times. You ever go into a game thinking we can't win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, but you guys are living in denial because we said all summer, if Deshaun goes down, there's nothing you can do. The season is screwed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably, yes. It's very minimal. No it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both Sir Trent Williams, actually. I'm leaving both Sir Trent Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to say Trent Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with what he's got on the other side of him on Sunday and what he has to deal with makes him even more important. Well, you could say the same thing to Miles Garrett. Well, sure, but I'm going the other way of protecting the quarterback. Okay, so I'm going to say Trent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] McCaffrey's in at two. McCaffrey's number two. McCaffrey's number two. And now I'd say Miles at three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been better than Debo. I think I would say Purdy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say Denzel. And I love my guy Martin Emerson, but I've taken Denzel in this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 64 million. That's the answer. 64 million next year is the answer. The cap hit of Deshaun on this team next year. That's why. Because he was, uh, DHOP was chasing every last dollar that was out there and they couldn't give it to him because they have to worry about 64 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, two things can be true. You're right and you gotta live in the moment, you gotta try and win now, but you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the Falcons traded Matt Ryan to the Colts last year, he was not on the roster. He was a $40 million cap hit on them last year and he wasn't on the roster. Tampa Bay has a $35 million cap hit this year for Tom Brady, who's golfing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple of misses. Those are bad. The Conklin is bad. We've talked about it. It's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Deshaun contract. Yeah, but you have to pay the quarterback. I understand. I'm just telling you, it's, it's what you do between now and the end because at the end of this deal, everyone's going to be screaming about how horrible this contract is. Everybody is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma see. You could give me a month to prepare to play quarterback. It ain't gonna make it. You give me six months. If I'm your quarterback and I'm about P.J. Walker's size, it ain't gonna matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more we talk about this, and now I feel bad about my headline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, even last night's game, who would have ever given the Broncos a chance? And I understand they lost, but it was a two score game for most of the night. Like it wasn't like they got blown off the field. They were still in the game. And you look at that matchup and go, oh, the Chiefs are just going to roll them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go where I thought bowl was starting. You are still alive in that no matter what happens Sunday, nobody's running away with this division. You're two and three. You're going to an Indianapolis game the following week where regardless who the quarterback is, you should have a good chance to win. If you get this thing back to even at three and three, everything is still in front of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they, even if they lose, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. Two and three sucks. It feels awful, but there's still a lot of winnable games through the back half of the schedule and everything is still within the Brown's grasp, regardless of what happens on Sunday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're putting it together. They're putting the wheels back on the cart. That's the team to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They beat the Browns. Yep. They found a way to beat the Ravens. And once again, you look at their roster, you think they don't got nobody. And then all of a sudden, they're right there looking at you. We tried telling you that. You and I kept saying that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you think, you're like, wow, we feel encouraged, but no, like, they get the, the Seahawks at home, theoretically, if they, if they win that game, I think they'll be what, three and three? Yep. You lose that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess what? Because guess what? We pool play. We got to $40 this week. We lose that game, you know, you're two and four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you're- Two and three. Two and three, sorry. So now you're two and three and you're like, what just happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The line, the line of action is... Was it two and four? No, the line of action was one. You can't be one in something. Like you can't be one in four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two and four is not DEF CON like one, but the thing that makes you disappointed is you're two and four and you're in last place again. You ended last year in last place and you're just fighting for relevancy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At some point, you can't keep finding yourself. It doesn't matter where the talent is coming from, how you stack the talent, who you brought in, whatever the case may be. You look up and it's a disappointment because if you lose this week,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That guy is better, he's better than any offensive player Andrew Barry has drafted while he's been here. Yeah, and Mikey wants to make a point about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a philosophy in what you do. Like, they're gonna draft fast players. They already had fast players. They trade for fast players. Now, my problem is, look, hey, we go and get David Bells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's time that you start saying it comes down to what this coach is going to do too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's too many times where we're looking at it on the other side of the field and we're just taking him out of the equation like Kevin is not going against Shanahan. Like Kevin does not have to pull his part of it too. If the Browns continue to run this vanilla playbook, they will not beat nobody close to the 49ers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The danger of looking at what they do against other teams is they play different against you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter what they do again, like when they come play us, they just find ways to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we not throwing in nobody, we putting your game plan in. You're supposed to be up with the 49ers. They had to play, right? You're supposed to be up like, okay, let's go. Let's get these mental reps. You not playing, you not practicing on Monday. So now that's, that's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must have put this in the back of our head when Baker was throwing his football and it was his opposite shoulder. It wasn't even his throwing arm. This is throwing arm. So like, you know, I just don't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they don't make the playoffs, they won't be here to pick any people. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my father was here, you know, after we got back, we went to Canada and hung out. We came back and we was watching the game. And after we got done watching, I said, let me show you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I put him the greatest Jack Wills hits on, and by the end of it, he was visibly upset. It seemed like he didn't take his high blood pressure medication. He said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't, I didn't know it was this bad. I didn't know. I said, oh no, see, sometimes you gotta really look at it and then digest it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, I don't know how they, they're even getting the football off or running the football. I said, well look, it only gets worse from here. The book is out. The book is out on what you do good and what you don't do well. His confidence is at an all time low right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you coming in with bosa. And now it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. So my process is, I look at it and say, the Cleveland Browns, if they continue to try the lineup they have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out there, they won't make the playoffs and it'll be easy. Cause they can't throw the ball, they can't run the ball. I mean he's getting beat on run plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to Bull's point, we just talked about Deshaun Watson in your practices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Hugh Jackson. And Pat Shermer. Freddie was even worse. What Stefanski did with Joe Woods, Joe Woods was out of here and should have been out of here three years ago. But you know what he did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to Niagara Falls with my mom and dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you. I told you. Listen, these dudes said, look, the, the lady, who's trying to call herself trying to be fancy. I go to the little sky top thing. Oh yeah. It's nice. Yes. Yeah. They say, I said, do you have apple juice? She says, she is like, yeah, it's not refillable and it's $10. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, man, this is the greatest apple juice ever? No, it's just Niagara Falls apple juice. Listen, they was, listen, then they took pictures, they'd get you, they'd be like, oh man, beautiful family, let's take these pictures, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. And then they hit you with a bill for them later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this, it comes in a black pamphlet. I'm like, this is not free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, uh, I would expect. See, Earl talks a lot on The Barber Shop. He's part of the show. He's like, you know, he does, I look at him almost as a co-host. Uhm, so, you know, Earl said, yeah, I said, man, what you talking about today, Earl? Uh, you know, we'll listen to you. He said, uhm, I'm just producing it there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the lo- it's the shortest cold war we've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on what I've seen so far, I'm not picking them. Like if you, if you look at it, we just talked about who is it this year. We talked about the top two teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and the 49ers are head and shoulders better than everybody else right now. Head and shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, I agree with that. And I will say that, that Kelsey...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, he's starting to look like he's 34. What is he, 31?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he the number one, I would like to, see for me, I would like to have, if I was Andy Reid, I would like to have another guy who is a receiver or another receiving guy. Oh, they would love that. That could age him gracefully. Sure, right. Right now, it looks like he's just the only target. It is, and Mahomes is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at what point, fellas, do you get some, you know, I look at these other organizations, you get an opportunity to put your stamp on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? They've given Kevin Stefanski, I don't see them holding him back from being like, hey, here's this player, he wanted him. No, they wouldn't have got his quarterback. When they wanted to get rid of Baker, guess what? They got rid of Baker. When O'Dell Beckham Jr. wasn't doing what he was supposed to, they never said, oh, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not a recipe to win. And my thing, I've always wondered this and you tell me if I'm crazy for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I know officers and coordinators want their own identity or whatever the case may be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he draft Trey Langston? It was like, you ain't good. And then he comes with Brock Purdy, who was the 7th round pick last big in the draft. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think at the 10,000, like a lot of players are not sitting here game to game watching film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they went to Pittsburgh. They won a game in, in Pittsburgh. You're number one pick. I thought they think it's a foregone conclusion, uhm, that you get another year. Like Daniel Jones, right? Hey, you won a playoff game last year. You just automatically get the bag, right? It don't matter if we think you that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quarterbacks that are number one picks that win playoff games usually don't get jettisoned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we, I look at it, I told you, I keep just reaching, we go down the timeline. Now look, Baker has been to other places, he's got another opportunity to do his thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that you said for Baker, you can stay for, stay for Soslansky. Since he's been here, it's about the week to week to week to week. Ups, downs, kicks. With six different quarterbacks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We look at it and I'm looking at it from a standpoint and saying, okay, where's your signature win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't root for nobody. I ain't a fan. You don't? Really? No. What I do is I look at it and I just be objective on it. If he's ballin', I just say he ballin'. That's what the film say. I'm married to the film. If he, even if I don't really per se like you or like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always say this. The football is the greatest sport in the world because it don't matter what I say about you or anybody else. You get an opportunity to shut everybody up. You can come out here and ball and I gotta say. But you root for guys, don't you? I root for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Michael Parsons, I'm like, oh yeah, I like, I watch him because he's really good. I'm like, yo, I'm a fan of it. And you appreciate it. And I appreciate it. I'm appreciative of the skill in the game. I wouldn't say that I root for anybody actively except for the Browns. That's why I be just doing too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's a, there's a different thing. It's a big, it's a canyon between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not caring and not panicking and being cautious about shoulder injury and the guy can't throw the football. I just, I keep telling people and I don't know what he has, but hey listen, I got nerve damage. I know what it is to be like, you know what, this arm don't work today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if, you know, he could be the strongest man in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell that to a nerve, right? We ain't talking muscles. We talking like, hey, I can't fire. I can't, but you know, the electrical impulses going down my arm will not let me get the thrust and trajectory I need to be a competent football player. Not to me, not to mention, I'm not saying this is what's going on with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what I am saying is, you play in the 49ers, you know what they bout to bring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, when you talk about speed, when you talk about physicality, when you talk about bringing it, they got to deline, you, you having troubles up front. For me, I said it on UCS channel, you can go back and watch it, I said it two weeks ago when he was injured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't like it. I just don't, I don't like the, I don't like the vibes and I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people don't understand it's your throwing shoulder, it's not a, a, a labrum on the other side. And you see Baker, he said, man, my shoulder was trash last year. It was, I couldn't do that with it. Uhm, so for me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna panic and jump off the top of the building on KYC, but would I like my quarterback to be playing or practicing today? Sure. We'll see what's going on Wednesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I used to play back in the day, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The definition of nerd has been cast upon a lot of people, and it's a lot of posers in the community now. Just because you watch the Marvel movies does not mean you are nerd-worthy. You have to, if you watch Dragon Ball,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to learn about the mangas, not just regular Dragon Ball Super. What is your definition as a nerd as you're explaining it to, and how do you get in this cult?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen Johnny, real quick before we let you go, uhm, it just, it just came to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four, four more pressures and, and, and two, three stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, he's all in. Good and bad. See what, see what I look at the film and I see my team going bad or poorly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you serious? That means you got a signature win. That means Deshaun Watson must have played. You'll have Kool-Aid coming out of your nose. Oh, what are you talking about? I'll have a brand new Kool-Aid buy for your shirt on the next day. Stop playing with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. By the way, I was getting ready. You guys was talking about Cavs. Y'all got a good one now. Max Shrews, you can play. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? All of what you saying, you can feel that way. I want a team and I want to root for a team who's in the mix every postseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody gets antsy about not having success in the playoffs. You make drastic changes and then you end up 1 in 31. Oh, that was cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we look here? It's like when everybody started doing self-scouting, right? But now it's just more educated self-scouting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they do the analytics for all these various situations. But in the end, Kevin Stefanski is making the call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing I hate about analytics is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a lot of these coaches, when they make a bad decision, will say well, the analytics pointed to that. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's the problem and the only problem I've ever had with analytics. As a coach, you're a leader. You gotta be able to see the game, feel the game, and understand how this game is being played and how it needs to be won. Couldn't agree more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a coach should never be using analytics as to why. Ever. It can't be the Bible. It just can't be. Right!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me explain something to fans, and this bothers me to no end. Just because you're cleared to play, don't mean your ass can play. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin Stefanski was trying to protect the team because maybe they didn't have him on the right list. You see what I'm saying? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because everybody found out at the last damn minute that he wasn't playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, for a coach to put that out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't feel good after throwing one ball. No he didn't. And he didn't throw any balls up until game time. So, he could feel great. That's cause you ain't throwing a football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And then you go out there on Sunday or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And throw the football and be like, guys, I'm sorry. This ain't gonna work. Now, let me ask you a question. Because, people have gotten on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the problem that I had. You got a first year, first time starter against a top five defense. Help him out a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every, every quarterback has to go through this. It just sucks that he gotta go through it. Plus, he don't play Baltimore. So I'm not mad at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when you in college and you can just run around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and here's the thing. The game's a lot closer for one thing. No turnovers. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They assumed that Deshaun Watson was gonna play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't know what's going on behind, you know, or they thought that DTR can handle it. I don't know. But I do know that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all talk about dude from, uh, uh, Indie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not saying Nick Chubb got to get to all the carries. I'm saying that there were a lot of times last year when we talked about what they do with Jacoby Brissette that they should have probably ran it more with somebody. So I'm gonna bring in another guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say that they are at about...

[Assistant] Everything that I am talking about pertains to the Browns and the Browns only. You gotta be the best version of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't, you can't, it's not that they don't run it enough. But every week we come in here and they've decided to throw a short pass and kill the clock when they should be running the ball down the throat and ending the game. With who Leroy? You can't do that when you're losing Leroy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, with everybody, with everybody banged up a little bit up front, you did have one of the best offensive liners in the game, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so I'm not saying that anybody else playing is Nick Chubb. I would not insult that man like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm saying, you telling me you can't have production to some extent? You see what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Commit to the run a little bit. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The simple, the more simple you can keep football, the better you can succeed at and be well at, great at what you do. It's like, don't overcomplicate it. Like, you watch DTR out there, it looked like it was complicated. Woo! Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna say this, like I say with all coaches, you can't win without players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The incredible thing that Bill Belichick is doing this year is keeping these damn games close with those players. Well not this one, he got smoked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dylan didn't run him out of town. No, he was fired before they went to Baltimore. Because they had a new coach, Ted Marchabroda, when we got there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Build it and kept it going and you had enough of the veteran guys, the guys you trusted in the system that kept it going when the new guys came in. But if you look at all his draft picks, there ain't been a whole lot that been that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they smoke, it's one game, but, but I would say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? And you can only be you. You can be safer, but you still have to be you. Especially at this juncture in your career. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little bit off on that, but I would say this. Wait until they play in Miami in December.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Right. I think that'll be, that'll be the game. That'll be the game that'll determine who wins the division. Uhm, you know, getting blown out in somebody else's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it went sideways quick. It happens. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So wait. So wait. So wait. Most of one of the Big Ten at Purdue. Yes, you did. Tyree Hill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we actually do have some tickets that I forgot to mention in the first hour here, coming from our boy Mark Scott. He turned a $5 parlay into I believe $144. It's a four leg parlay that he hit. So that could be you if you use FanDuel Sportsbook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright Anthony, go ahead. Alright guys, so our first fence rider up is, let me pull it up here real quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will the Browns defense get two or more turnovers? So our guys out here on the panel, Mike, Bull,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so number two, with the trading of DPJ, will Cedric Tillman record a catch this weekend? All of you out on there said yes, except for G, and then Earl also said yes with Tyvis and Jason. What are our overall expectations for Cedric Tillman this weekend?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so number three here is Will Elijah Moore for his first touchdown of the season and Earl is by himself on an island with yes, everybody else said no. I'm also going with this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know a couple guys who could design some flyers for you. Gee, you just let me know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this one was our most even split. Will the Browns rush for at least 165 yards as a team? Bull G Ty said yes. McNuggets Earl and Jason said no. Man, you and Earl are having a terrible game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And last one. Alright, last one for you guys is will the Browns defense hold the Cardinals to under 14 points? Everybody said yes on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we're gonna try this out and see how it works. So the way it's gonna show, I'm gonna show you guys this tweet, and it's gonna be a quote from Kevin Stefanski here. Steve, we can take the tweet here on Tagboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first up, Kevin Stefanski said he was fine not acquiring a veteran quarterback, reiterating that he likes our roster. So on the BS meter...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which we're gonna show here is Bull's baseline BS meter. From 1 to 10, 1 being completely believable, 10 being total BS. Bull, what do you have to say about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the next quote in the next tweet, which you guys both answered was, Kevin Stefanski said PJ Walker will start versus the Cardinals if Deshaun Watson can't play. Bull, you gave this a 2 out of 10. Pretty believable. Mike, you gave this a 1 out of 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do, no, we have one more. Let me get it up here real quick. So, Deshaun Watson. That was a good one.


[User] Please transcribe this text
