  [SPEAKER_00]: Fred Greath, the Morgent Brown Report, before we talk football, Fred, you're a baseball guy, going with a rookie in a playoff elimination game.
• 0:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
• 0:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, things like, you know, I don't know what I'm talking about, but as far as as then he usually start when they do that bullpen type game and I'll put your ending or two and
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, they're going to go one in and with him.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess if it goes well, maybe Roddyman and bring in Camtillo or Tanner Bobby because if it goes game four, you've got Parker Messick back.
• 0:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: If it goes game five, you've got Gavin Williams back.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm assuming they're going to go with Spino.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then some combination of Bobby and Ken Tila, hey, it may work.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, nothing else is working.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, our pitching is working.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly exactly.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't score runs.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to matter.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk football.
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's the buzz over in three of these days?
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they went back to practice today, but they didn't have media availability.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: They kept the same schedule with the media on Tuesday off, so we don't go back there until tomorrow.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: But everybody's right in high.
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, who would believe they'd be three in one, and you'd have the eighth rated quarter back in the NFL on your roster.
• 1:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you had that on your Bingo cars, you should be in Vegas.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Earl, I mean, if you took, if we handed out awards today, Todd Monkey would be coach of the year.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hands down.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here we are.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here we are, who's the guy out in Vegas, because the raiders are sitting there at three and one and they had the chiefs on the brink.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember his name.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, can you Google it for a cute, clank, coobie act.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: OK, coobie act.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it would be one of those two guys.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's early, but it's forth as a season basically
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's, you know, I kind of jokingly said, you know, hey, you know, you're going to, you're looking at NFL come back player the year here with lots and I said that, you know, kind of jokingly, you know, before the season to somebody and wow, you know, it keeps this pace up who would have thought that.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's the browser, you know, in a position, they have a chance here to do something.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, with the justice week.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, and then the Ravens, you got a Gimpy from our Jackson, and then the Titans.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to get ahead of yourself, but boy, you know, if you could win two out of three, then put yourself at five and two, I mean, that'd be pre-enviable position.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fred, I've been looking at a lot of national guys and they still think this is good all come smashing down that this is just simply smoke and mirrors.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't agree.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sitting here saying that this team's going to beat the 49ers, the bills, the Jags, Seahawks teams like that because we've still got to turn over issue.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: We still have a penalty issue and we get a lack of offense issue still, but.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: against the average to below average teams.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the Browns are going to win more than they're going to lose.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're going to be competitive and respectable for the first time in a long time.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's, you know, I'm the same way.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't what I like about this team, they're young and they're resilient, even the steward's game.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that 10-minute drive don't been the game.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you could have just followed your tent, you know, and said,
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Denzel war gets an interception, then the offense gets three straight touchdowns, they give up a 14 point lead.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: The, you know, Aaron Rogers rags and down there gets the touchdown goes for two gets the two point ties it and yet they didn't they just came right back and they overcome the penalties and all these mistakes they're making they are fixable, but just just to come out of there with a number of penalties, I think they're leading the NFL and penalties.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: to be three and one is you know hard to believe but yeah they're young they have a lot of potential and the defense I think can keep in games the defense isn't maybe the best in the NFL but they're similar to what they were in the last couple of years is that they've been keeping the opponents you know around 20 points or less and that gives your chance
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: for the offense to win in the offense.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: The reason they only won three and five games is the previous two years because the offense couldn't score more than 15 points again.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why they had the record.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so if the offense can do anything, it's a work and progress.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, I don't think anybody expected to see this young Watson playing average to above average.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that gives you a chance when you get averaged to above average quarterback point.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: talking to Fred Greath and Morse Brown report, nobody saw this coming except for maybe Todd monkey if you take a look at what he did with Brandon Weedon, back at Oklahoma state.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: He turned him into a first round draft pick.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: You go to the Buccaneers.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had one of the top scoring offenses in the NFL when he was there and his quarterbacks were James Winsson, Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: You go look at what he did at Georgia with the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, he elevated him.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he took over a guy in 19 games who was statistically one of the NFL's worst passers and he's turned him into a serviceable quarterback so far by pretty much implementing a college style offense.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's in the shotgun more than anybody.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's run pass option.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got him rolling out using his legs.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He simplified things and it's worked so far.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he's got him getting rid of the ball that stealer game.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: He got rid of the ball under three seconds.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: First time since he's been with the Browns in five years.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: 2.65.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he was getting the ball out.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he was able to even throw the ball down field.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had that 60-yard hook up to the ball of Stun.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, if he can just,
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: keep keep back going to consistency.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think more than anything, Monkan has stood behind him.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: He believes in him.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he kind of stuck his neck out.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: When you know, I know he's not a popular choice to pick as the starter.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he has, he has shown his faith with him.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so far, you know, he's been rewarded.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see, you know, on the long term, but it's been fun.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, when you look at this, you got a division that I think is winnable.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you think of the Panthers last year, they won the division at eight nine.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if eight nine would win the FC North, but the Ravens could be ball involved with Bengals, show their ball on the ball, and certainly the Steelers are vulnerable.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Fred, thanks to the time we'll talk soon.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Good afternoon, too.
