[Assistant] My first group of kids that I have right now are sophomores from my dad. You know, they played in the, I have five sophomores that played for my father this year as starters. You know, so, uh, my, my program is, was a, was a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shocked for me this year because I watched it from the far for so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? For the last two years, I've really been hands on with it since I've really been home. And to see them guys go out and do what they do, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just show that I'm in the right realm of my program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wasn't throwing the football around. It was a two receiver type deal. Uh, I think that came in, uh, Trash doing, seeing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing that over the years he started bringing in more and more people from the hard lines and, uh, the people that came in after me, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well you know, I came in as the number one corner, but I was still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A top guy on offense, you know what I'm sayin'? So when I got there, you had Dustin Fox, and you billed in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had guys that, uh, Chi Chi, like, you had guys that was really like, put their duels in, that sat behind the door sits, and the people like that, that, you know, it was a, wait your turn type situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with me it was just a little different because of the statue of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? So, uh, watching what they did with Gamble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was, I ran number of slats, goals, and screens for the first three weeks of my freshman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Season, you know what I'm sayin'? And then, that's when I came in, uh, NC State. And they started me. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the ultimate guy you can't never forget about is Deon Sanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scenario things that goes with that Colorado stuff. You know what I'm saying? With Deion, it's just a great deal that's going on. Whoever don't like that is a bad person. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] D.I., I can't forget my dude, Charles Wilson. You know, even though he's, you know. Yea, he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, cause I was the smallest guy on the field at all times. So I had to play with that, like, I had to deal with both of that, like, you know. I can't take a hit, cause they might knock me out. You know what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't take this hit. You know what I'm saying? And it just, it kinda grew with me after Pierre Woods hit me and practiced my ninth grade year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause we used to steal Pierre Woods, uh, me and my friend, one of my best friends, Calvin Stearns, we used to steal his lunch every, we knew his lunch period as freshmen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, one day we was in practice and I was doing pretty good. I was playing quarterback, you know, I was playing scout team and we was dialing it up a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Pyrrhus said, well I can't hit him, that's the reason why he's getting the ball off. So he go live for me. And when he came around that corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oklahoma State needed, they, they deserved that. They kept talking about they was the real OSU. And then number 30, no, number 44.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throwing a hitch, like, so we, I was the third quarterback, so, it was like, we, we were so like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this university, that if you don't let them go, we wouldn't have ever been who we were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But got great raw running and I can play him. You know what I'm saying? But he's not gonna never give you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm just being real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was bad to see me so wide open. You get what I'm saying? Real? They'll put you over here. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] W-w-w-w-cause I go- I went through this. I went through, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drops. I'm known as the drops, but I never lead the league in drops. So I don't get it. You get what I'm saying? Now, I drop big time plays in big moments that gave people the, the, the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deal that, oh, he dropped ball. You know what I'm saying? The stigma. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, what I think really happens is we just, we be so fast that we get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just don't ever look it in, like, like most people do that's big that, oh I know that's hit coming, I know like, it's just a different type of genre that go on with 6'4 and 5'9, 5'10, fast guys like, we'll just do this so fast, I got pictures where I'm like this, but I catch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not really an art, it's somewhere down in line, you gonna take heed in yourself, like, I don't wanna be that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took me seven years to do that. I didn't get an opportunity to really showcase my talent as a receiver until I got to Carolina Panthers that first year. And that was because Ricky Pearl, that was a receiver,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fast guy kinda. You get what I'm sayin'? Told me like, hey dude, you can help us here. You're not just a part returner or a kickoff returner. You get what I'm sayin'? And then I had a guy like Steve Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was like, man, I'm a ninja. So once you start seeing guys that really walk up and you take the outside people out of your life and you worry about the people that sit in the seats with you, then you'll go to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you kinda like on a lonely pedestal to he find a new home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? A lot of people get money and they stop being who they are towards their family and their friends. And that was my biggest pet peeve. My family and friends got me to where I was at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'd have never played 14 years without my support system. And my support system was my wife, my parents, my kids, and this community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, just, just being real like, I was a real open the door. I was the real pull the knob. I was the real like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real example of what this really supposed to be so I couldn't mess it up in no shape or form and it's still like that to this day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? I'm still trying to be the door to show people what to do when you ain't playing ball. You get what I'm saying? Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what our kids know. We the gans around here. So, it's like, I always been the door and I always gonna be the door. So I just try to make sure that I do everything the right way that I supposed to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Deshaun Watson a lot. I was able to meet him before he even touched this league. You know what I'm saying? With, playing with Carolina and the Cam Newman, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get what I'm saying? Uhm, just like that last preseason game that he played in. I mean, he took three straight carries back to back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The team trying to show the community, trying to show the sports world that I'ma do whatever it take to win this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying, or to put on for the Browns. So I just think that we have a great captain, a great leader, a great fighter, that's really running our wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right before he left, I was at New Orleans. And he came in and he destroyed us. He had on a red spat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like seven seconds, I catch a pass, we kill a field, go and get out of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said there's some fireflies that have traveled all the way from another city. Girl must be important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This way. If we cut through downtown, we can hit the Capitol building by sunrise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, baby, but Markiplier gots to go back. Oh my gosh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, I think we can beat this. We all have lockdowns, the bars are closed, things are starting to look up. What exactly do you think up means? I'm gonna go to the beach to celebrate. Georgia? No. Yeah, they're open again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I changed my number, by the way. That's okay, Georgia. I still love you. Idiots in love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm also making sex shops and church essential. I agree. Jesus. New York agrees with me too. Never in my life. Everybody likes to say they're from New York. Crosswalks are a suggestion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is staying on the field at the 50 yard line for the upcoming season. It beat out the fan submitted dog logo in the fan vote. The elf back on the 50 yard line for the second consecutive year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or at the 32. I guess maybe, yea, at the 32 would make more sense, but it was unable, the Browns looked into it, and they were unable to use Jim Brown as a tribute at midfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They both have 2,000 yard seasons. CJ 2K went for 2006, Adrian Peterson went for 2097.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's get into it real quick, but before we do that, I want to remind everybody that if you need Brown's gear for the upcoming season, the place to get your Brown's gear is fanatics.com slash UCSS. All the best gear on the market in the Brown's colors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you use the code fanatics.com slash UCSS, we get a little kickback on the back end. So if you need Brown's gear, make sure you're buying it at fanatics.com slash UCSS. And with that bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could do a little explainer, but are you guys surprised that Mo Hurst was not on the initial 53 man roster?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm under the impression, and I'm fairly certain this is a money decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't want to pay any dead money to Jordan Elliott on top of what they had to pay Mohurst and I believe that there was some sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hope that they can bring him back in free agency. He doesn't go to waivers, he has the accrued seasons already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't understand in a season that we've talked about, no excuses, G. Bush, the pressure's on, Tyvis, everyone's job's at stake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why a million and a half dollars, when you have the most cap space in the entire NFL, is the difference of keeping a guy you can perform against starting caliber defensive tack, or against offensive linemen, as opposed to a guy like Elliot, who's had plenty of chances and just hasn't performed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is DPJ's 4th season, so he would have been the 2019 draft. Cause he played 2020, 2021, 2022.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Trevor Lawrence went one. Okay, that's good. Next two picks, terrible. Zach Wilson, Trey Lance. Okay. Awful. Okay, you ready for the run of these next guys? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you got a couple bums here, you got Mack Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kadarius Tony at 20. Eh, nothing. Quiddipay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Caleb Farley, defensive back out of Virginia Tech. He isn't not anything, right? Christian Darasaw, who's been a good left tackle for the Vikings. Najee Harris. Travis Etienne. Yeah, Greg Newsom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the rest of the first round picks after Newsome. Bunch of guys who haven't done anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna get to that in a second on who the Browns look into, but let's put a bow on the 53-man roster the Browns had. Seven linebackers are keeping, five safeties, three running backs, six receivers, nine offensive linemen, 11 defensive linemen. What do you guys feel overall? Gee, how do you feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're both free agents. The report is they both have deals with the bronze that come back, if you believe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We asked the internet that question, and before I tell you the answer, I have to tell you who brings us the answers when we ask the internet the question, and that is PCC Airfoils. If you're looking for a job with career advancement and great benefits, well, PCC Airfoils is the leading manufacturer in Northeast Ohio, all locations of PCC Airfoils in Eastlake, Mentor, Wycliffe, and Minerva.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Online at precast.com slash careers to learn more. We asked the YouTube community tab. Are you confident that both Michael Dunn and Mo Mo Hearst will return to the Browns out of 600 votes? 70% say yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Barry knows what he's doing. Both of those guys will be back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving on to our next topic here though, Bull, and I want to do this in 10 minutes, so guys, let's meet this quick. Around, elsewhere on the league, teams cut down from 76 to 53. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll show you a list of 12 guys I thought at least peaked my interest as potential. You guys want to tell me if any of these guys peak your interest as someone the Browns might be interested on the waiver wire before it becomes official in about 20 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so here's the first six. The Patriots cut both their backup quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be lying to say I watched a lot of Bradley Roby last year, so I'm just going off the PFF grade. Yeah. Not good last year. Not good PFF grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carries. I think I only played two games though. The two games he played, he was good. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to give you guys a little context, Tracerman has three games in his career with double-digit carries. In the first one, he went 10 for 41 with two touchdowns. The second one, 19 for 89 and the third 10 for 32 in a touchdown. So very limited carries, but whatever. Uh, the next six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They cut him one day after trading for Josh Dobbs, which says everything you need to know about Colt McCoy's future in the NFL. So real quick, before we get into the next part and I got a bunch of super chats, I see him. We'll read them in a sec. Do not worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside of the kind of no name guys, the Austin Walkins, who outside of Cleveland, most of the league wouldn't know, none of these big name guys really appeal to you as someone you think the Browns are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, first super chat of the day comes from Kenny Moss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, hear me out. What if we traded defensive tackle, cash, and a second round pick to Kansas City for Chris Jones? Imagine that defensive line. Miles Garrett, Tomlinson, Chris Jones, and Darius Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Josh Heisler. Hurst had two sacks in the preseason. Elliott had two sacks all of last season. Hurst is clearly the better player. If they let him sign somewhere elsewhere, the Browns will regret it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the next one kinda goes with something Bull said, it's from Professor Chaos. BULL!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back me up, stats in the preseason don't mean anything. Just because Hertz looked good in the preseason doesn't mean he'll be good in the regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all have over expectations on how much you should expect from the draft. Less than 10% of picks really make a difference. Less than 30% even see much field time. Okay, next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One last super chat. This is from Eric Spicer. He says, it's Chosen Anderson, not Robbie Chosen. Eric, if you Google Robbie Chosen or Chosen Anderson, you will see that, depending on which news site you listen to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will be good. We're going to play a game here in one sec. Before I do, I just want to remind people if you're in the chat, hit that like button, subscribe, help the ultimate Cleveland sports show. It helps us in the YouTube algorithm. It costs you zero money, zero cents, zero dollars. And it goes a long way to making this show a long-term success. The waiver wire claims officially become official in nine minutes. So in the meantime,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's play a little game. Steve, hit the dramatic music of real player, fake player. Did this player get cut before the 53 man roster cut downs or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I create this name on my own. Are you guys ready? It's a real or fake. You don't need a whiteboard. We're just gonna go and fly off. Are you guys ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all got it right. Tommy Devito is real. He was cut. Alright, next up Steve. Who do we got? How about Jadakiss Bonds?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you guys ready for the next one? Yea, go ahead. We got a bunch more. How about this? Bobby Townsend Jr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just cut by the Minnesota Vikings, lucky guys. Alright Steve, next up, who we got? Nick Anderson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real or fake? Both says fake. The other guys say real. The answer is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fake, Sam Smallwell does not exist. Sammy Smallwell. Uh, we got just a couple more and WaiverWires have officially opened so we'll run through these. How about this one? Quantrez Knight. You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, how about the next one? Yeaah. You're gonna like this one, Bull. This one is harder than it looks. Racy McMass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, just a couple more guys. How about Dan Skipper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, just two more. I believe there's two more. How about three more? I lied. How about Bo Niedermeyer? No way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So two fakes and a real, and G. Bush gets the last point, which means he's real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We duly appreciate that. And next up in our 32 in 32 series is Zedarius Smith at number 6. Boy, you've been following along. Where do you have Zedarius Smith on your list?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, real, real, real quick. Mary Kay just tweeted and I quote, the Browns will add Michael Dunn and Mohurst back to the active roster after placing Jordan Knasek and Alex Wright on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had Zidarius, I'll let you, I'll let you have him in one second. I had Zidarius 8th, Anthony had him 4th, and Earl had him 6th. Yea, so we had him right on average, 8-6-4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you know what's funny? Guess who has the exact same amount of All Pro selections as Nick Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns have re-signed Kellen Mond to their practice squad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did get you on that one. So Nick Chubb, by the way, according to Pro Football Wrap, I'm just going off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been a pro bowler in each of the four seasons since, but his only all-pro appearance was in 2022 when he was second team all-pro behind Josh Jacobs last year. Remember, running back, they only take one guy. One guy, exactly. So there's only two all-pro running backs all year. Whereas...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2020, it was Derek Henry and Dalvin Cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2021, Jonathan Taylor and Joe Mixon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so we got a few minutes here. I'm going to do a fast read and then, I'm not sure if we're going to get into the full segment. We'll start, but. Let's start it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll at least mention this again. We mentioned this earlier in the show. If you guys need Brown's gear, Cav's gear, Guardians gear, but especially Brown's gear for the upcoming season, there is no place you should rather


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be buying it then Fanatics.com slash UCSS. They have the full arsenal, all the browns gear you need, anything you need to look swaggy for the upcoming season. And if you buy it using the code Fanatics.com slash UCSS, it's in the description of our YouTube videos and Anthony will make sure he drops in the chat. We get a little kickback on it. We got our first report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On how much we've made in the first month. And let's just say Browns fans, y'all have definitely been buying your Browns gear. We appreciate you guys and continue to buy your gear at fanatics.com slash UCSS end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breaking news from Anthony, the championship belt is on Fnatic. So if you want to buy that Brown's championship belt for 550 bucks, you can buy it on Fnatic.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which made no sense either. They still have Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. Now Jones is gonna be gone after this year but there's no point in having three guys this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless that's- that says they don't trust Jordan Love. I mean, that could be the ultimate insurance plan for Jordan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no word on Kade York. All we've seen so far, and this is from Mary Kay, and I will continue to let you guys know as information comes out, but the Browns plan to add Michael Dunn and Mohers back to the active roster after placing Jordan Knastick and Alex Wright on the short-term IR. Mary Kay then tweeted the Browns also hope to sign keyword hope to sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Austin Watkins and Jaylen Darden back to the practice squad, as well as Isaiah Thomas, Tommy Togii, and Kellen Mond. If Cade York would be willing to come back, they would welcome him as well, unless he prefers a change of scenery. So no word on those official moves yet. I did see Brains- Brad Stainbook tweeted out that Harden- or Darden, excuse me, is back, but I have not seen that from- Why did he bring back Tommy Togii?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't want to get into the rest because each one is going to take a few minutes and as soon as Gene Smith gets out, we got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Orr got into a big beef this morning. Uh, I do have two super chats though, real quick. The first one's from Professor Chaos. Alright. In regards to our Chubb versus Darius conversations, it's actually a really good question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Browns are ahead in a game this year in the fourth quarter, trying to close out a close game, or he doesn't say close, but trying to close out a game, who's more important to that crusade? Chubbers or Darius?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this. Let's say he gets 13 sacks, as G just said, he thinks he can. Is a 13 sack defensive end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I couldn't figure out where, why, how, what, what QT stands for. And from that reaction, if you can't tell us, by all means don't, I was just genuinely curious. Where does QT come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get together for a little behind the glass live stream on our YouTube channel. Yesterday was reaction to the cuts that Browns made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who tuned in, we appreciate you guys for having fun with us. We had fun. We almost made Anthony cry at the end. So if you want to see Anthony almost cry, scroll to the very end. It is well worth your time. Anthony got so choked up by the kind words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he was almost about to cry. I was serious. And then he texted us after. It was real sweet. We love you, Anthony. Okay, so before you take your victory lap, Paul, I have to just say one thing. This is from Mary Kay. No one on the Browns, none of their cuts are picked up on waivers. None of them, including Cade York. Mary Kay says they're the process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of signing some of them back, uh, Brad Stainbrook reported that Austin Watkins is going to re-sign with the Browns. The Browns. Practice squad. So, Bull, the floor is yours. Okay. And Stain, please be ready to cut in the last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it depends on what you count of note. You wanna just read the names real quick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I L M Manning? Ilm Manning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ILM. Okay. Uh, Starling Thomas, Kayvon Wallace. I've heard of Kayvon Wallace. Claudin Chirillis, Deshaun Jameson, Calvin Throckmorton. That would've been a good made up name, but it's real. Quindale Johnson, Khalid Kareem, Khalif Halasessi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less than three years. If he was on Wabers, he was with the Chiefs. You have Zayn Anderson, Ben Sims, Alex Austin, Nick Broker, Ryan Haynes, Isaiah Land, Josh Sills, Darius Rush, Tanner Muse, Caillou Blue Kelly, Drake Thomas, and Kindle Victor. Those are the 23 names picked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, there's some weird th- Anthony can explain it. Yeah, it doesn't let my account be tagged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the show I was off, they did a great job producing, I come back in, the next day neither showed up till 8.30, neither told me they were showing up late, they came in a little late, it's okay. Today's different, so today,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a great show Monday, big numbers, both were a few minutes late on Tuesday, no big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another great show yesterday. It would have been our highest viewed show ever if Monday didn't exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Erle tells me last night, Erle has an excused lateness here. He goes, hey, I believe it was your daughter's first day of school. Yes, my youngest daughter's first day. And he wanted to take her. Excuse the absence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony texts me at like 750, he goes, yo bro, my stomach feels like crap, I'm gonna be late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Name unknown, but it was a super chat. Okay. There's no name on this. Nick Chubb for TJ Watch, straight up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the dog logo is so new, you can't really, plus, I don't want to infuriate everyone in Logan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to infuriate everyone within the first minute and a half, but the dog pound died with the old stadium. It did. Like, come on. That's true. Whatever shame they've got now is not what the old one was. Are you happy with the elf?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's an upgrade over Kellen Mann, right? Yeah. I think that's what you're going for there. Obviously you're carrying a rookie as your backup quarterback. Yeah. PJ's got a little bit more experience. So if something does happen to the Sean where he goes down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do have someone, a veteran who knows the league a little bit. Obviously DTR would step in as the starter at that point. But then, I don't know if you want two really young green guys back there. If this works the way they think and DTR is the backup for the future,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't really need another really young and experienced quarterback. So it makes sense. I understand why they do it. I don't know if PJ Walker's any good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, necessarily, if you're looking for him to save your season, you're probably sunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I understand why you'd make that move. And Kellen Mann shoulda known the first time he got released. This time here is probably gonna be brief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. It depends. It depends on the head coach, depends on those relationships. The head coach may have somebody he likes and what. You just never know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I think, I think we're piling on a little bit onto Jed Wills. I don't think he's as bad as what we've made him out to be. He's not elite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the way that he gets talked about here, it's like he's a bust and a terrible player and I don't think that's the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not awful. He's average. Is he though? Yes, I think he's average. But what are we basing that on? I mean, he's not getting guys killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on what else is out there. There's just, it's such a hard position to fill. I think he's average. It's not his fault he was picked where he was. Like, you expect more out of him, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not what he is. I think he's an average left tackle. You can do a lot worse. You can have a lot worse over there than what they have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's the return game, I think, that is appealing to teams. The fact that he can return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tennessee at Cleveland. It's Cade York, the Titans kicker. Who is the Titans?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an open competition. So it's, yeah, I mean. It's an open competition. Nick Fulk is the kicker now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wanted him out. You're trying to get to 10 wins, right? Like you need 10 wins minimum. Maybe 11. But I'm counting to 10. You're not getting any less than 10. Counting wins at this point. It was funny, I remember


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was like conspiracy, not conspiracy, but just like people when the, when the Warriors are going on their runs and people were saying like, they're the luckiest team, like look at who they played in the playoffs and this team was without that and that team was without that, da da da.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey man, they still sizing them rings. They still get them rings. Like injuries are part of the game. You still count the wins. Just count the wins. So no, I wanted Joe Burrow. I was hoping the Bengals would sit them for week one and think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, we got a lot to play for here. We got a lot more than just week one. Let's sub an extra week. Obviously that's not the case. Now he's going to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And No Joe Burrow makes it a lot easier to start 1-0. This franchise is 1-1. What? Two openers now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No update, still in protocol. He was asked, is there, when you have the number of concussions that Denzel's had, does the protocol change at all? And no, to the best of everyone's knowledge, it's still the same, like there's no additional testing or anything. I mean with concussions,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mentioned it in passing the other day, but like, your baseball guy, Justin Marneau's career was basically ended by concussions and one bad concussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But man, you start getting up with the type of numbers where he's at with these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, the Browns come into this. Walker was in pads yesterday. I saw him coming off the field. I didn't see Taki Taki, but that didn't mean anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Week one is always wonky in the NFL. Like it's the hardest week to predict games. There's more variables in week one than any other. I think because sort of what we're talking about here with Rust and guys really coming in for the first time. And there are some kinks to work out, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, our fans are very confident right now, so I get it. It's week one. Every fan base in the league is confident right now, but there's a dollar on the ground. Pick it up, baby. Pick it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a, I'm not gonna say who, I had a prominent Cleveland sports figure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I can't send you the article because you don't subscribe to the athletic. So you can't see the article. By the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost worse if the team that beat you loses because you're haunted that like, well, we could have won that. You know what I mean? So it's better that the team that beat you won the whole thing. And that's happened to the Bengals two years in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the Chargers have beaten them the last two times they've played, but they've been very good games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the quarterback play, really in essence, in both of those years, and the Chargers had the better quarterback. So the Browns theoretically should be better. But real quick, I want to mention, we've talked about this projection. So Austin Mock is our guy at the NFL, our guy at the Athletic who does, runs this NFL betting model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he did like 10,000 simulations of the season. And it came out with an average win total for each team. And so this is what I just sent to Mikey. He had the Chiefs number one in the AFC at 12 wins. The Bills were second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jaguar's 5th at 9.9, and then the Jets, Browns, and Chargers tied at 9.1 for 6th, 7th, and 8th. So according to those projections, one of those three teams obviously are out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well and to your, I don't know if I'm going out of order stealing Mike's Thunder here, but you've been down on the Steelers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12 teams with 8 wins or more. I mean, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And held onto him as tight as he could for as long as he could. And when Breeze left, Sean was right behind him. So until, now I'll change my, if Sean wins with Russell Wilson and turns Russell around, you know, we'll give him his credit. But until then, I think Wilson is shot and I don't think Sean Payton's that good of a coach. And he's gone in there very cocky,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would give up a first round pick for Jonathan Taylor if I'm Miami in a second. In a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were in that game last year. That was the weird game in Detroit. Yeaah. I don't remember a lot of the details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I remember, I was there, but I, I, they were in it. Like they were right there competitive with Buffalo until the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the game I wrote they had to fire, like that was it. It's time, it's time to fire Joe Woods. They could get lined up. Obviously Josh Allen's a great player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's still, he's still going to be in decline, but Rodgers in decline could still be better than most of the quarterbacks out there. Certainly better than what the Jets had last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't see the jet sk- Want to see the jet sk- Schedule, I don't know a schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not as high on Lawrence as you guys, but I would probably still take a moment. I have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, I don't think they're garbage. They just want a quarterback. But they're well coached. Five and twelve. They got a lot of talent. Outside of quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I take Cleveland away. And if Derrick Henry goes over a cliff this year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cade York lining up for 48 yarder. Oh boy. Week three. No. It's coming. Can't happen. It's coming. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Important pieces. Players win games. Yeah, I know, but coaches put them in position to win games, especially in the NFL. Especially the ones that call to plays. So you think Gavin Stavansky is the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, you guys have covered Amari Cooper, there's nothing else I need to add. The only thing I'll say that I really like about Amari, he is not the prototypical Diva type receiver. That's true. Who, we were talking about Stefan Diggs, who pouts and sulks and screams every time he didn't get the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Amari because he just keeps his mouth shut and keeps his head down and he does his job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when your two skill position guys, most important skill position guys, Nick Chubb and Omari Cooper, are pros, you just get the work done and go about their business, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are in good hands with those two guys in lead roles. And that's one thing I really have come, I really, as, you know, I, I don't know them well, but as I got to know them a little bit last year, that's one of the things that really stood out to me and I really appreciate about Amari was just, he's not that Diva type of receiver that so many in the NFL are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think you need to go higher on draft compensation. How good was Jordan Davis last year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm saying, like, you gotta give up DraftCom for them, but then you gotta really compensate them after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if Cooper Cup can win you a Super Bowl, then go get him. But the Giants- Well that leads us to the next one then. This is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to the scanners. Okay, but to the trade, why would the Chiefs do that? They just won a Super Bowl without them. Why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, of course, but I don't know if I'm giving up a first round pick around the Chiefs when I just won a Super Bowl without an elite number one option. My first round pick is the 31st. I know, I get it. But I'm just like, had they not won last year or had they really felt the missing presence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you, to your point, that 17 Cavs team was better than the Cavs team that won the championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is lame, let's move on. And DBJ could be their punt returner. Yeaah, I like that trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they need to. And Greg Newsom's okay. I think it needs to be better picked than a third rounder two years from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually don't think that's enough for Aaron Donovan. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Earls. First one was Mikey's, that's Earls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No chance in hell. This better not be your, this better be your also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, yeah, I like that. I would just do it in picks just to keep it simplified. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Kelsey, I'd seriously consider. Your window is right now. It's right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh you were? Cause I said that was the Dogecoin conversation. It started off as just nonsense, stupidity, and then somehow turned into like, is that accurate though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think they're just screwing. Like they're just screwing. You think you're messing with me? They're trolling. They're screwing around. Nobody in their right mind can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hype by who? Fans? Yes. Yes. It's gotta be Imani Bates. Yeah. It has to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, DTR, like, was actually legitimately impressive. Like, he deserves the most hype. Yeah. Like, he won a spot. Yeah. Second team got rid of the other quarterback. Got rid of the other quarterback because of him. And that's how good he was. Yeah, I sat here like 40 hours for the trade. I'm like, hey, DTR was great. He's still your third string quarterback. Like, nothing's changed. And then the Cardinals called with an offer and everything changed. That was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and I gotta say, like, I've been impressed with DeJuan Jones because the talk coming out of the draft was, uh, you know, there's a lot of maturity issues there. And, and I think there still is. He still, he hasn't proven anything yet, but he has certainly shown to this point he's willing to grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not ready to declare that he's arrived, but he's certainly shown more already than I thought that he would. Imani Bates, my opinion, has not changed at all. Not at all. Not one bit. Mikey, what's the second question now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think DTR could have the longest career of all these guys. Like I think he's going to be around a really long time. Not necessarily in Cleveland, but he's a guy that, you know, I think he's already shown. He can play 10, 12 years in the NFL now. Feel free to pull that out on me if he's out of the league in three years. But I just think like he's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sees it enough, he knows what he's doing, I think, but I don't know if he's gonna be a star. So for what, for the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ramifications of the question for the guidelines of the question. I would take Dewan Jones as well. I think he's going to have the quickest path, the playing time. I agree. I think he will be on the field at some point this year just because of Jack Conklin's injury history at right tackle. I think Dewan's going to get his opportunities. And I didn't think that after the draft, I thought this is going to be a development year for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR, we know the roadblock in front of him in Deshaun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, I don't, like I said, at some point maybe he goes to another city and gets another opportunity. But he's one of those guys who's gonna be a career backup at worst. And, uh, and, um, I'm not even gonna acknowledge the Imani thing right now. I'm just not going there. So give me Dewine. I do think DTR could have a long career in the NFL. I've really been impressed with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rommel was drafted, was he? Oh, he wasn't drafted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cops. They're looking for Ethan. It looks like a raid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An address. It's gotta be where Sean Mars is. Hurry, there's no time to lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? We just wanna talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Name's David. This here's my friend James. From a larger group. Women, children. They're all very, very hungry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, maybe we could trade you for some of that meat there. What do you need? Weapons? Ammo? Clothes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two bottles of the penicillin and a syringe. Make it fast. Go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably gonna be a while. You, uh, mind if we take some shelter from the cold?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Look, I understand it's not easy to trust a couple of strangers. Whoever's heard, you clearly care about them. Sure it's gonna be just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You handled yourself pretty nice back there. I'd say we make a pretty good team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sent a group of men out nearby town to look for food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said that the others had been, uh, slaughtered by a crazy man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And get this, he's a crazy man traveling with a little girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You kill to survive. And so do we. We have to take care of our own, by any means necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I think it's your turn. It's the only way I'm gonna be able to convince the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are making it very difficult to keep you alive. Where am I supposed to tell the others now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, two and a half billion rubles were transferred to the company's account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way it worked was the funds were supposed to be used for specific building projects, but ended up being used for completely different purposes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sabchak and Putin should have been jailed and would be in jail undoubtedly. Putin probably first and foremost, as the greatest number of documents and orders were signed by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it now stands, Russia has no law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A minute ago, I knew this man wouldn't shut up. They say where to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy hell. That's Lewis' farm. I hope that son of a bitch made it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take a breath. Who's dead? Old crew. The 76 lookout guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have electricity, Joe. I had. We'll get it running again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a whole lot of them. Hey, Tommy, give me a hand with this. Sorry, I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There. Say thanks, Tommy. No sweat. Alright, let's continue the tour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This will be the sixth time of them trying to get the turbines back online. We've been here just a week, and it feels like forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I got something for you. Last year I went back to Texas, back home. Most of our stuff is long gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here. It's a little faded but it still looks pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay. Let me just check on my guys real quick. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you heard, but you should see the town. We're over 20 families strong now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Maria and her father. They set up this place with the idea of being self-sustained. We had crops and livestock. Remember how we thought no one could live like this anymore? We're doing it. Give it up. You ain't saving that turbine. Oh, I'll get it. Banana for too long to give up now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This place gives them a second chance. Gives us all a second chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My cause is my family now. You ain't talking about some walk in the park here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want some gear? Sure. But I ain't taking that girl off your hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got nothing but nightmares from those years. You survived because of me! It wasn't worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's thankful, you know. Yeah, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take that girl of yours to the Fireflies. You don't have to worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just saw her ridin' on outta here. Go back inside. Help the others clean the place up. Okay. Careful out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't get to make that call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James told me it's the girl from the university. How many of our guys were killed there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where the smell of burning comes from. Evidence going up in smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's one child left. There might still be time to save him. Let him go! Do what your father couldn't do!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Officer Kadam, you complete your testimony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you said in the last hearing that you have three more witnesses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The court is adjourned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Your Honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be hanged till death. The case is closed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Parthar, he toh aapka chotha gawa hai. Aur Inspector Dewey ki toh ruki ho chuki di.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you what man, you know, I think Kevin Stefanski is coming around a little bit. I think he's uh, he's coming around to figure out that look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't bring him back. It's going to cost me, it's costing me, uh, you know, just, just, he's losing accountability points and they don't, if you do it too long, people won't trust you. But I think, uhm, what he said after the, after the game really pretty much shows that he's probably not going to be here very long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was somewhere and they knew me. I went to a wedding. Shout out to my Aunt Cynthia, she got married. Uhm, shout out to her, my Aunt Cynthia, and she married, uh, good dude Steve, and you can find love in later age. That's his mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, that, you know, pressure bust pipes. He answered the questions in a way, shape or form that he plays the game, which is emotional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't be emotional and be a kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He should have just said in that clip, you know what, listen, it's not good enough. I've been missing kicks, I've been working hard in practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, been trying to stick to what I'm trying to do with my mechanics, been working with coach, been strong, but, you know, it's just not good enough. It's a, it's a make or miss league and I'm missing right now and, and I can't put my team in that situation. People will look at you a little bit different, but I think it goes to this. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cleveland Browns have to understand that as an organization,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about, we've been, for so long we've been building towards something and trying to find pieces of parts and trying to build a culture and ways of winning. But, but we gotta understand that there's levels to it and when you step up to the next level and you are a contender, when you have the quarterback, when you have all the other pieces of parts around you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to start operating like contenders and look at what the San Francisco 49ers did. San Francisco spent two first round picks to go get Trey Lance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that I commend the 49ers is saying this. Trey Lance didn't even really have an opportunity to play. He was injured the first year, he broke his ankle, messed up his finger the first year, and he was all out all last year. Brock Purdy came in to play well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and you know what I give him? I give him credit for saying, you know what? We reached on the third round pick, or excuse me, third overall pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we was wrong on that. Let's get him out of here. We're going with Brock Purdy. We'll move him to Dallas. What that says is I'm not going to wait too long for Trey Lance to cause me to lose football games in order to validate that I made the right or wrong decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have all of the data in front of you with Kate York. You've had last year. You've had all the training camp. He had no pressure on him. They didn't bring nobody in to like push him or move him as a veteran. You see what it is now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does not have it. The emotional and mental psyche of what it is, he don't have it. And for me, I can't look at Nick Chubb or Miles Garrett or Joe Botonio and guys putting their body on the line. Hey, Marquee's good when it's trying to come back for blood clots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these guys are putting their careers, their bodies on the line trying to win football games. And I'll be damned if I throw that and sacrifice all that because you spent a fourth round on a kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of people who sat on the sidelines and just watched. They didn't do anything. The reason that is important is because you know why they run and conditioning you and wake you up at five in the morning? Because they get all of that up out of you. All that excuse stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dave Zastido came on here and said, listen, it's not the whole, I'm looking at it. Guess what? I did this for a living. And the problem with Twitter is people think that their opinion is the same as pros' opinions. Yours is not. You're entitled to it, but no one liked that comment. No one cares what you think. Can I go to NASA and be like, you know what? I know why Challenger blew up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darryl said, well look, they may not cut him to the very last part of the cuts, right? So that gives them an opportunity to say, okay, well no one's going to pick him up because he's been playing horrible off the waiver wire, so we're going to be able to claim him and put him back on the practice ground. I don't even, I think that's fine, but I don't think they have to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's done. He's out. See ya. Did you see when Deshaun Watson did this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if he misses, this is how warped your mind is. Once he misses that kick, people will then come around and say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are looking at Kevin Stefanski as a leadership and your credibility is on the line. If you put one guy who is a kicker above 52 other guys, then we have to think about getting rid of you because you had an opportunity to do something about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why aren't they practicing at First Energy or Cleveland Brown Stadium? And it hit me, I said, that's a great question. If you are kicking outside, if you are kicking and you need to get to know the lay of the land, and Phil Dawson's talked about reading the flagpoles and all that stuff,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go back to that documentary. We watched the quarterbacks documentary on Netflix. But if you haven't seen it, just go watch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things I'm going to pick out there is when Patrick Mahomes is at the facility, he's doing everything that other quarterbacks do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he leaves there, he's going to do high intensity workouts to train special parts of his game. You think Patrick Mahomes throws sidearm just because he can? No, he works on that. His flexibility. He's doing all of this fast, full speed with his independent contracted coach. So my thing is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why aren't the kickers with independent coaches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All year. Why haven't, why don't, why haven't these teams, the only full-time kicking coordinator or kicking coach that they have, ironically is for the best kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you have gurus, science, if you're talking about the ball is coming off his foot, looking like a helicopter, that's all about physics, that's trajectory, that's how hard you kick it, that's velocity, those are all different things that you can get science type guys to come in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I really feel like there should be some repetition and some stuff that you can look at that basically helps you get better. So we'll see what happens but the best point of this as we wrap it up is Robbie Gould should be the guy in camp. No doubt. On the phone right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, that's facts. I remember that. See, I don't do well with that. I would have went in and tore up the locker room. That kind of stuff like that because I would be so mad as a player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, I thought there was some, you know, I thought this is the closest we've seen to what Deshaun Watson can offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was glimpses of it. Uhm, and I think he's, it was much more comfortable than what we saw. Uh, the two fumbles, I don't put that on him, those are just running back areas, whatever the case may be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there was a throw that I thought Elijah Moore ran an out route that he kinda skipped it to him. Uhm, you know he kinda missed that route. That was a bad throw. That was a bad throw. Uhm, but I also think that you saw


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The money show. The money shot. So when you talking about that seam route to DPJ, that's an elite quarterback throw. Right off the bat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy. The touching through on the corner route with a joku.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful. Put a touch on it. Dropped it in a bucket. They work on that. Throwing the ball in a bucket from the corner and practice from OTAs. I thought that was beautiful. Then you got to see his mobility. You got to see him move out. Now basically you had to move out the way because Jedrick Wills got destroyed again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By a second team. By a second team, getting pushed all in the backfield. But Deshaun Watson, he scrambles, escapes fine, Amari Cooper down the sideline, 50 something yards. Uhm, and I just think those are the plays, the mobility, the arm strength, some of the impromptu stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really, really thought he played his best game in the offseason. He had a couple of bad throws there or there. Uhm, but I was, I was encouraged by what I saw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when Deshaun Watson, I think he was talking to Mary Kay Cavie, he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said it's gonna be explosive. He said fireworks. He said fireworks. Something wrong. He said week one's gonna be fireworks. And you know why I feel like he said that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't necessarily what other people did. You notice everybody got a little touch. DPJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't see it until right before the game. Uh, I don't know. I thought he was playing as well. That just goes, I know I ain't playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't, they, they, they scared of that pass rush. They don't want no parts of that because it was teased that Myles Garrett was going to play, right? No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see what Zedaria Smith did to their tackle? That was embarrassing. Beat him up on that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was pretty impressive. I thought DTR, he had a really nice rope to, uh, Central Tillman. He threw that, and he got hit, he got hit up underneath the chin and everything, threw it in anticipation, looked off the backside. I was like, yo, backside dig, that was nice. Now here's the thing also too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did see that DTR kind of look like a rookie just because he held on the ball a little bit longer, right? You didn't see the same kind of 1-2-3 ball out, 1-2-3-4-5 ball out. Or if it's not there, take off and scramble. You really didn't get a chance to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could pass people off, especially if they're doing running any games, twists or techs. He could give them a third eye, kind of give them a punch, because usually, Antonio can handle a guy inside of him, so he can punch and give him a little help to the inside, and he could worry about getting his kick slide and running people past the shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we can't help Jedrick Wills is if he doesn't anchor and get his head out of blocks. This is a lot of times he misses because he leans over and puts his head in a block and guys are just bull rushing him. So he got bull rushed into Deshaun Watson. I think it's just more along the, along the, uh, era of technique with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When his technique gets bad, he gets really bad. When his technique and his footwork are clean, he's a solid player. But his technique just isn't consistent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He talked about his mental health a little bit. This is an article in cleaver.com. He talked about why did he start coming out talking about his mental health. And he said, just to show us a real thing, like it's not a made up story that people try to call us a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because if you're depressed, if you're anxious, that can really affect you, not only in field, but in life. And that's just the thing I want to show us athletes go through too. And if you're an athlete, you're not alone in this. Everyone goes through something. Don't be scared to speak out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's talking about, you know, he was at one point in August, he was in a locker room and he had almost a panic attack and people, his teammates had to help him out because, you know, just all of the stuff that was on social media or Twitter, he said that just started to compound and it really affected his play on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you talk about Anthony Schwartz, sometimes, sometimes you start late in life. I started playing football later when I was 14. So sometimes you don't have the fundamentals that everybody else has. So when you look at Anthony Schwartz,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you can be given an opportunity and you may not be ready for the opportunity. I don't think Anthony Schwartz was ready to become a third round pick. But when you are a third round pick, all those expectations come with it. So for me Earl, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wasn't prepared to be a receiver and when you're not prepared, you're not a natural receiver, not a natural catcher of the ball. You split time between track and football. What's going to happen is you could be put on that stage and not be ready. If they would have, if I would have been in this role right here without any really formal training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, being on UCSS, if they'd have gave me this opportunity five years ago, I could have got up here and bombed. But!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes it's about being ready for the opportunity and having that skill set that you can lean on. For him, unfortunately, I don't think he had the skill set to lean on. He didn't really have in his mind he was going to do that as a football player. So for him, he could still get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can get coaches, he got the opportunities, his feet is wet. Now go back and do the work. Get a trainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get a receivers coach, work on your routes, work on all of those things, because the speed is there. Now we're going to be becoming a receiver that is fast, not just a fast guy trying to be a receiver. We gotta go to Adidi now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm gonna piggyback off of what Earl was saying. It's like, yeaah, I love what Martin Emerson is giving me. I love that. I like what Greg Newsom gives me. I'm just, I don't, why does Denzel World get hurt all the time? Like, he's in the concussion protocol as a cornerback who covers people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you do hours and hours of research on both of these teams just to get the opportunity to possibly say three, four times on air a question to get one of these players or to speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda compare that to, you know, when we talk about whether practice or pre-season games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you find that your preparation, uh, during the week


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is kin to preseason games and getting acclimated so that you prove and show your worth on those three to four questions with the work you put in prior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you get drunk, and as long as you drive professional, and you don't drive, you get an Uber, and you don't put your hands on nobody, you're not obnoxious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that we all felt was missing from this roster and I still felt it as I watched Deshaun Watson this preseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again? That sucks. Yeah, and I know how disheartening that is. I saw him at ACL against, uh, we were playing Phillip Rivers at NC State, uh, just years ago, 2001 or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tear my ACL, I had surgery on it December 13th, and when you tear your ACL, you know, you know exactly today. It's like your children, you know when they're born. I had surgery on this knee December 13th, and then I worked my way back all summer, stayed on campus, and then the week before we played Pittsburgh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tore this ACL. Eight months later, took my ACL. My left knee had a surgery on August 24th. I say that to say this, shout out to Jakim Grant because I know how hard it is to work that way. Come back is just devastating mentally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's out for the season. So now you're looking at an offense that is, yes, has some pieces of parts, but Amari Cooper's not a burner. Donovan Bruce Jones is not a burner. Elijah Moore, they want to use as a gadget guy or moving around doing some things. He's speedy, but he doesn't have that long speed like Marquise Goodwin. You can go back to OTAs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see the two deep balls that he completed and he's a guy that can run and catch the football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a huge factor because that factor scares teams. It opens up the playbook. Now all the underneath stuff is happening. That's one of my big concerns going into the season was when I saw that shorts got cut and I knew that Jaqueline Grant had towards knee up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, yeaah, that's the missing piece to this office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My problem is, you know, it's a lot of political stuff that go on, right? You know, could you see Austin Watkins Jr. get cut this year? You could see that because here's the thing. He ain't making a practice squad. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no, listen, it don't even got to do with the yard, it's the types of catches he made. I've seen him make one handed catches, I've seen him make back shoulder catches, I've seen him catch the ball and run, I've seen him go high point to football, he will not be on the practice squad. Somebody's going to grab this guy and put him, he's going to be playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you were in a general manager's office, they got a big white board, right? And they got where you were drafted and what year you were drafted. Now, if you look at that big white board, Anthony Schwartz, third round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You was a fifth round pick. So you start adding these picks up, and these are all misses, misses, misses, misses, and it's close at the end of the year, and you may not have the year you want, you could possibly be on the bubble. They may let Stefanski go and say, well let me look at Andrew Berry, he did acquire this, this, but let me look at his drafts. And if all his draft picks are in the shadow realm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Mikey, here's my thing, I'm gonna ask you this question. How is it that DTR can play so well that he becomes the second team quarterback, but preseason don't count? But Watkins can play catching the football from DTR, and that don't count?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a two. I have a two. I have a two. Wow. And the reason I got him at two is I've been doing a research on it and you guys can let me, let me know if I'm wrong. But in the last 30 or 40 years, I cannot think of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just say 30. So just go since 99. I can't think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An elite quarterback. Top five type talent quarterback. With a top five running back. I'll give you one. What's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would take Nick Chubb over to Jerome Bellison. And I would take him over to Edwin James. Now, what I'm saying is, when you, the dynamic, if you got two of those guys,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it changes things, cause we talked about with Nick Chubb, people think they can come in and do what I can do. No, no, no. You got a guy that's averaging 5.3 yards per carry. And now you got a quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who you can't just afford to just leave out here like he can make the throws. So now the offense is different. Now it's like pick your poison. And I don't think that when you look at defenses out there, defenses are equipped to do one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defenses now are equipped to have a pass rusher and corners to stop the passing game. You can't do both at once. You cannot stop the run and stop the pass at the same time. So if you want to stop the pass, Nick Chubb's gonna get you six yards running the ball downhill against corners, safeties, and small linebackers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said on the pivot podcast, he said two high safeties. He said, well, Deshaun is in. I'm seeing two high safeties because Deshaun Watson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has the ability to take the top off the, uh, of the defense. So now you've gotta play too high safety. And Nick Chubb says, I've never seen too high safeties in my life. It's just me. Like you said, he's one of the most elusive backs. Not only the yards per carry, he makes people miss the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's elusive. He can run over you. He can run around you. He can catch the ball. He can, he, he, he does, he makes cuts that people don't normally see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not just Nick Chubb, it's the combination of Nick Chubb and Deshaun Watson that is, could be lethal because now you telling me, well, now you want to load the box? Well, I got Amari Cooper out here and you can't cover him one on one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I got a backfield to him, uh, as well as, uh, Pierre Strong, nah, I like Pierre Strong. Yeah, I know Kenny and Drake. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, we was looking at it with Kelly and Demetri Felton, that wasn't getting them done. And the Browns knew that immediately. They brought the other dude in, he dropped the ball on a handoff. Wilkins, he dropped the rock twice, he gotta go. So they need to, to me, we need two more backs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like him, I like his speed, he plays special teams, he has a little bit of vision. He was rated higher coming out of college, Jerome Ford. That's right, he got drafted higher. So to me, this guy, when you make a trade,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pierre. Yeah, Pierre, South Dakota, in, uh, North Dakota's Bismarck. But yeah, nobody, can you imagine? No. North Dakota state is the only thing in North Dakota. South Dakota's, they, uh, no. I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Montana, Wyoming, like the whole. A bunch of old white people there. I don't want to live with a bunch of old white people. Oh, I'm pissing people off now. It's old, like not old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just come forward once, KD. We'll end his case right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened to the previous one? The one with the humpty dumpty? My brain isn't working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just looking at the sign. It's a sign to drag someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought there would only be one witness. There are two here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have not done what needed to be done. They didn't ever try to bring together in one coherent narrative, laying out the entirety of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against one of the major players and demand sanctions that are meaningful. That to me is what has been fundamentally lacking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to the credit department, find out what the credit department knew. Those are the guys wearing green eye shades who don't get the big bonuses, who want to make sure that the loans, the underwritings are legitimate. They actually crunch the numbers. They're the ones who send the memos up to the folks who get the big bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How the folks at the top react to those memos is what determines whether the bank acts properly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aha, finally we're beginning to see the criminal cases that will evidence a determination by the Justice Department to bring to justice those individuals who misled the public, who misled investors, who knowing that an investment was bad, still said it's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The acquittal in that case left many of us feeling a little empty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a definite sense that justice backed off and that they became timorous when it came


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To making the cases that would really have gone to the heart of what did happen in the crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Arvo. I'm going to go. I don't want to shoot. I don't want to shoot anyone. Especially a little girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no, no. Take whatever you want, but don't take the medicine. It's for my sister. My older sister, she is sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pain makes her cry and that makes those things come. Please. You're lying. No, it's true. No, I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have already left me defenseless, and now you- you take my sister's medicine? You are vuri ibaditi!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are suffering just as much as yours. You are not special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are my friends. We stay hidden for safety. But you, we know. You're Clementine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a trap. I know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said there's some fireflies that traveled all the way from another city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta find a way across. There she is. That's our building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we are. It is a Wednesday on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. A lot to get to today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, we got some AFC North predictions. We're gonna start with Frank Kona and the news with him yesterday. By the way, I gotta take people behind the scenes. I like to do this every once in a while. Tyvis and I were discussing this earlier, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right behind our studio, there's the gym. The WKYC gym. Not that many people. It's pretty much Jay and Austin Love and Mike Lucas that use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Herbie. I've used it the last two days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shut up, Doug. Next to the gym, there's a bathroom. It's like a half bathroom, half locker room. Right, right, right. Now, first of all, it's always gross in there. There's always shit laying around, there's always this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what I don't understand. Somebody that works for WKYC was wearing that stuff, took it off, and just left it there. So unless that person got fired the next day, how is that person not saying, oh maybe I should take the disgusting stuff home with me? That means they're rocking it still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's nothing to do with the game, which they did actually get a rare win yesterday. Cole Calhoun homered in that game, which I don't know why they're playing. I don't care that he homered. He shouldn't be playing. He's a journeyman veteran batting third in the lineup. Who was that? He's been around. He's, he was cut. He was, he was a free agent. He'd been cut during the season and now he's batting third for the guardians. Although he did it all in runs, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've talked to Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff at length about the future and everything because I don't want to put them in any remotely kind of predicament. So we've had a lot of talks about moving forward. I mean, I think I felt my whole career like the players always have to come first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I remember being in Birmingham in South Bend, by the way he managed Michael Jordan in Birmingham. Yea, he did. Uh, and thinking about the players come first, the organization and my situation will always take care of itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the D.V.A. from that now is wrong. So I think there's a time, and there will be a time, to answer any question there might be about what I'm gonna do or not do. I don't think that's not because I don't ever want this. It can't be on me, and I can't just let it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other part is, I don't want to lie or I don't want to fib. We've all seen coaches, but you know they're going somewhere and somebody asks them a question point blank and they go no, and then an hour later they got a six year deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to ever be like that. Just telling you that we're getting there and there's just a time, I think, to do it appropriately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you, if Frank Cotter's gonna retire, I think he should have just said it yesterday. I think that it's more of a distraction that he didn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say it with 100% certainty, but reading that to me felt like he's definitely retired. What do you guys think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, there's a lot of truth there. They haven't, they had the roster to compete in 1617. 1617. But in recent years, no, they haven't. In the last few years, they have not had a roster to truly compete with the best teams in the American League. You know. There is some luck and... In this type of year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reality is this team was not good enough at the trade deadline anyway. Facts. They weren't going to win anything in the playoffs even if they did make it. So I don't think this pushed him over the top. Maybe Francona was pissed that they decided to sell. He might have been. But I think he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, he's been in and out of the locker room for the last bunch of years due to a variety of illness and, you know, physical conditions. You know, surgeries that he's had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's probably a good time for him to retire. I think he's had his worst year as manager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they may need some fresh blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every other sport in my opinion, there's a few managers that move the needle in a positive way, slash coaches. There's a few that move it in a negative way, most are near the middle and it depends on the talent. And they don't have enough talent, no matter who their manager is right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he's had such a great run here, the team has mostly been very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is interesting, you know, you bring up the trade deadline, you wonder, like he, Frank Cohen has always had a really good relationship, a good working relationship with the front office and you wonder if what happened this year


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, created maybe some tension or maybe some discontent between manager and front office for the first time and maybe that's why, maybe it is why, or a part of the reason that is pushing him towards retirement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great question. A lot of people are suggesting Kevin Cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, with car managers, we don't, we don't have as much information on like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, okay, so yeaah. He ain't leaving, he ain't leaving. But, like, how old is Sandy at this point? He's in his fifties, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think if Sandy was going to be mad at the team, it probably would have happened already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's 57. Yeaah, I mean, I don't know about like starting with a new manager who's never managed before at 57. Now listen, the guy was a great player, might end up being a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A great manager. I like leaning towards a younger guy at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think Demarlo Hale, who's become their bench coach, may have passed Sandy as like the guy in waiting. He's 62. Uh, he's old too. Jeez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who would be the pitching coach? Oh, bring back Chris Perez, who mailed pot to his dog. Uh, has pot mailed to his dog. Trevor Bauer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, they picked up a guy off the street, he's batting third for them right now. Call up Calhoun, he's just not there. Huh? Calhoun's been very fun. I don't care, he's not part of the future, I don't know why he's playing. Call up the kid they just traded for, for Aaron Savali.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're going to finish third behind the Tigers. I've been, I've watched the Tigers the last couple nights because they've been playing the Cubs. They hit, they hit. They got a couple of hitters right now. They got, well first of all Spencer Torkelson was their top prospect and he's putting it all together right now. But they got this kid named Kerry Carpenter who kind of came out of nowhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and Torkelson have both been on fire, and this kid Parker Meadows is gonna be really good too, just got called up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he got a triple yesterday on a ball that, that most players are getting doubles on. He's, and he's like 6-2, 6-3. Oh, that sounds, sounds like me. Pretty much. It's you and Parker Meadows. See what I'm saying? Getting triples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Cincinnati's up here, and I think the other three are pretty close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Browns are the best of the other three. I'm trying not to be biased about that because I hate the Steelers and Ravens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think the brown, I would, to me, it's the Bengals and the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's very close between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I'm leaning Baltimore 3 and Pittsburgh 4. But honestly, you could make a case, I think you could make a case for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any team finishing first because one of the other three teams could end up surprising and being better than the Bengals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think you can make a case for three of the four teams, not the Bengals finishing last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is how good, that's just how I see it. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how good this division is, but if you asked me today to predict the order of finish, I would say Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Steelers, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think the Steelers are bad, obviously. They're gonna be around 500, but if I'm at, their quarterback is the one I trust the least. Who are we talking about? Pittsburgh. Okay. So that's why I put him last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they play the season a hundred times, which team finishes first the most?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they played the C's a hundred times. That's how, that's how I do my prediction. They played a hundred times. The Browns! So you say Browns 1, who's 2? The Bengals. Bengals 2, who's 3? Ravens. Alright, so you're saying Browns, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers. No, no, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steelers 3rd. Steelers Raven. Yeaah. Okay. Dang. Gee, what do you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That changes the whole thing. I mean, without, that's how important quarterback is, right? If Gerald Burrow didn't play the whole season, the Bengals 100% would finish last. 100%. If Deshaun Lawson doesn't play the whole season, Brown's 100% finish last. Lamar Jackson. Same thing with Lamar Jackson.

[Assistant] I just don't like that. I just don't like to say this very much. What do you got? What's the behind the glass predictions for the division?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't agree with that. I think the Bengals and Browns are more talented than the Ravens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they're a talented team. That's what I'm saying. But they're quarterbacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure they have, but to be fair to DTR, he's also playing with third stringers. He doesn't have the first team offensive line blocking for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, I think the most fascinating question to me is, who's got the better roster, Cincinnati or Cleveland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bengals and Browns both have good defensive lines. The Browns defensive line may have more upside, but the Bengals defensive line has played together for years. So they have the chemistry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offensive line is interesting. I think the Browns is better, but I don't think there's a big gap anymore between the two. The Bengals offensive line has gotten better over the last two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Left guard, big edge Browns, you got Petonio over, uhm, I forgot their left back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he was a rookie last year. I'm drawing a blank of his name. Center to me is a wash. Pochichat a nice year. The Bengal Center. You talking about Pro Bowler?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fair. I'm just giving you my opinion. I think it's a wash. Right guard is also a wash. Kappa had a good year for the Bengals. Teller good banged up. Right tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defensive Tackle, fascinating. Uhm. No, it's not. It's DJ Reader. Uh, I meant Defensive Line, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Bengals are significantly better than the Browns at defensive tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll see. And you'll be playing as the Chiefs offensive line, that's excellent. Yes, and a quarterback that is. And that's the thing, and that's why, that's why it comes all the way back to what we were kind of talking about a little yesterday, is there's no excuse for the Browns, because they are loaded talent wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ask me, forget the quarterback said, gimme...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rank the teams in order of what talent you want. I'd say the Browns are here, the Bengals are here, the Steelers are here, and the Ravens are here. To me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm right in the same neck of the woods. I was going to say 14 and three. I'll say 14 and three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got both the Steelers and Ravens. 10 and 7 high, 7 and 10 low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's, here's what you need to know about the Chiefs. You know what? How many quarterbacks do you think have played, started at least 30 games in the NFL? Thousands? Yeaah. Yea, that's a lot. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at Patrick Mahomes winning percentage,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're in the NFL, Divas, and you're losing by 10 points, you usually lose, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patrick Mahomes has a 580 winning percentage in games the Chiefs were trailing at some point by 10. Okay? The next best in the history of football is I think Tom Brady at about 40%. No, no. His winning percentage in games they were trailing by 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's probably like 80%. Gee? Say that again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's his winning percentage all time right now? No running games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Behind Otto Gramm. Nothing, nothing that happened in the 50s. What's the best Gramm?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, Connelly's been tweeting like crazy about high school football in Ohio. Yeah, he's back, he's back in the, uh, he's in the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who the Jet Safeties is, and that's my problem. Jordan Whitehead and Chuck Clark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brad Berry and Abonte Maddox. They ain't got a problem with that. Uh, number four, the Broncos. Your boy Patrick Surtain, who you mentioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Damari Mathis and Kaywon Williams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number five, the Ravens. Although Marlon Humphrey got hurt, I don't know how serious that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Brandon Stevens and Rak Yassin. Yeah, no. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So. I couldn't hear a word he said. By the way. By the way. He was asked. Something you didn't realize. You know how G has a hard time sleeping? Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, some people use drugs. Uh huh. Some people use, like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only bad interaction I've ever had with a fan in person was this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had called me and he was really nasty to me on the phone and I said, well, tell your mom I said hi or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's funny is, you spent the other day talking about how he's the most important player on the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, right, okay. And, and, uh, we disagree with you, and yet you said he should be lower. I actually have, on my list, I got Elijah Moore exactly at 11, same as these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only defensive players I have ahead of him are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Miles Garrett, Denzel Ward, and Dalvin Tomlinson. I have a head of short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 9 for me. I got Jedrick Wills. Not because he's any good, because the position is very important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I see what you're saying. It's not who are the best players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the li- what is this list? 32-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only player in Seasons of Disaster is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what's the bet though? What's on the line here? Anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as a representative of the people that don't really care, I will say I'm all in with the dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, the elf really has nothing to do with the browns. He's not very, you know, manly looking. He looks kind of wimpy now that I think about it. The dog looks badass. He looks like the predator. He's got the predator jowled there. Uh, let's go with, let's go with, uh, with the dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, the Browns should go a step further. Because they've been bad not having chilies for all these years. They should just have strippers out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, what's his name? Who's the big, uh, director? Uh, Vince, not Vin, the guy who does all the things with Vince Vaughn. What's his name? Uh, John Avito? No. God damn it. What's his name? The guy who directed all the Iron Man movies. John Favreau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's his name? Elijah Moore. Yeah, I was gonna point this out. Uhm, things should be number 3 on the Browns 32 for 32.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You couldn't care less. You care so little! You couldn't care less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good backup. What a random guy to bring up. I was!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that will smooth. Uhm, Forest Whitaker. He's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my fourth person is a woman, and I'm drawing a blank on who it was that I really love.

[Assistant] I don't really, I drink beer.
