- 0:37[SPEAKER_04]: What's up, Browns fans?
- 0:38[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back to another episode of the Dog's podcast, Victory Sunday, Red of Victory in line.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, baby.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_04]: First place.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_04]: First place, Cleveland get on.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_04]: Browns are scoring a fair today, 13 to 10.
- 0:51[SPEAKER_04]: Just an offensive shootout.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_04]: A couple of juggernauts going at it head to head.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_04]: Um, you know, two, just absolutely, it was, this was must CTV for all four quarters.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yeah.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_04]: I'm being facetious if you guys didn't get to watch it.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_04]: If you did watch it, you might still be asleep.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_04]: Hopefully you said in the alarm to wake up and watch the podcast But either way your Cleveland Browns are now foreign to first place in the AFC North beat their rival at home
- 1:21[SPEAKER_04]: kind of incredible honestly like I there's zero world where I thought six weeks into the season we'd be talking about the Cleveland Browns are foreign to and it first place in the division.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_04]: I honestly didn't know if we'd get to four wins this season.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_04]: There we have.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_04]: And we're a we're probably like some bad weather away from being five and one.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_04]: If we don't have a bad punt snap against the jet last week, we probably are five and one.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_04]: It's incredible.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_04]: Great.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_04]: We are.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_04]: You know how they say football, you got to play all three phases.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_04]: Special teams, defense and offense.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_04]: It turns out if one of those phases is elite, you don't have to play the other phase.
- 2:04[SPEAKER_04]: Because enough for a whole game, enough for a whole game, at least.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_04]: If you have an elite defense and you have solid to good special teams, apparently your offense can be trash and you can still win football games because we're proving that theory correctly so far this season.

- 3:18[SPEAKER_04]: So crazy game today, in terms of when I say crazy, I mean crazy that we won.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_04]: I got to watch the first quarter that I had some stuff going on that I couldn't be home for.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_04]: And I am going to be a Nashville last week, so I couldn't put the foot down.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_04]: Because, you know, I'm leaving the house for two days next week.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_04]: And so I figured it was best to just say, you know, I can do this.
- 3:47[SPEAKER_04]: So I was watching on GameCast and then I got to listen to the last half of the fourth quarter on the radio and stuff like that.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_04]: So I was just following along on GameCast and like we're five minutes into the third quarter, whatever.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_04]: And this is our quarterbacks, like 30 yards passing.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, yep.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_04]: What is going on?
- 4:04[SPEAKER_04]: I said, we're going to, I can't believe we're not getting blown out.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_04]: Our defense is incredible.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_04]: It is, I panicked and kind of said that I was wrong about my hot take.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_04]: I, after week one, I said going into the season that we might not get as many sacks, but I think we're going to be a better overall defense than we were the last couple seasons.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_04]: And that was losing Miles Garrett.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_04]: Our deep, we might have the best defense in the league.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_04]: It's, they're scoring, at least scoring wise.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_04]: We, I don't know if we necessarily, we don't force a ton of turnovers.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_04]: Sacks, I don't know where we'd be in the league.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like we're probably not the most.
- 4:44[SPEAKER_04]: We get some, but we pressure the quarterback like crazy.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_04]: And we've three and out, and we just don't give up a ton of points.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_04]: It's, this defense is,
- 4:55[SPEAKER_04]: They're the reason we're foreign to him.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's why.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I was talking to Kenny before you jumped on.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't have Mason Graham today or Mike Hall Jr. Or Grant Delpit.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_02]: Grant Delpit left on the first drive with a concussion didn't come back.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_02]: So we're down three of our best players on this defense.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_02]: Carson Swesinger came into this game questionable game time decision with the ankle injury.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_02]: Decided he was going to be able to play and everything.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_02]: Then he got banged up on the same play that Grant Delpit got hurt.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_02]: He got his wrist snap back.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_02]: So he was playing hurt ankle wrist, didn't matter 13 tackles, had the fun ball against Derek Henry like it's just, you don't even know who's playing defense half the time.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_02]: Like who's actually in on that play, they're just flying around to the football every play.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, then, you know what they started off like kind of slow.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't know if you guys noticed this at the beginning of the game.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_06]: It seemed like we were always getting them to like second and 12.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_06]: Like first down defense was great.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_06]: Second down defense, but then also we, a third and long week just kept blowing it in the first little bit.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_06]: So they got their 10 points.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_06]: But that defense,
- 5:58[SPEAKER_06]: You know, not the offense of defense settles in and they buckle down and they shut you down and it doesn't like you said it doesn't matter who's out there.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody's taking the responsibility of whatever their assignment is and they're giving you some sit your ass down tackle is like, man, Carson questions are these throws people down.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I mean?
- 6:19[SPEAKER_06]: Like, it's wild.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_06]: Isaiah McGuire's like coming around the edge.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_06]: He's setting the edge.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_06]: And it doesn't matter what the stats are for Jared Vers.
- 6:28[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like whenever anything happens, everybody looks to him.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_06]: And he's like, yeah, we're doing it.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_06]: And his leadership is huge.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and on the defensive line, specifically like, but right before the season, we were kind of panicking as a, you know, the front office and they're like, well, I just won't get Derek Barnett in here.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_02]: We'll just sign Sam Williams.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_02]: They're playing fantastic.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_02]: It's everybody is just, I'm blown away by this defense right now.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_06]: I'll just quick add another one if we didn't know if Mlee Collins is going to be any good this year.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_06]: We didn't know if he's going to come back from that injury.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he's a good player, you know what I mean?
- 7:06[SPEAKER_06]: I thought maybe eight games into it.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_06]: He might hit form.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_06]: You got another sack today.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_06]: He's he's dominating the lion's scrimmage.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_04]: credit to the coaching staff because after week one, I think we all kind of thought these guys are lost.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I felt like the team didn't play with energy.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_04]: The defense looked lost and we've played zone more than we played man in that game and it was just like, what is going, what are these guys are all in over their heads and since that it's just been, it's total by
- 7:38[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you don't win these games if you don't have buy-in.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I mean?
- 7:42[SPEAKER_04]: Even though we're not playing well on offense, just to have the belief, like, keep you to game, keep it close to the fourth quarter.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_04]: And eventually we're just gonna, we're gonna give you that drive that's needed.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_04]: Just keep us in the game, we'll figure it out.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_04]: That takes buy-in.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_04]: How many times in the last couple of years has the defense just sold the other team scored?
- 8:03[SPEAKER_04]: It's the third quarter and we're losing 10 to nothing.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_04]: It's obvious we're not going to score whatever we give up and then we end up giving up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and get blown out.
- 8:13[SPEAKER_04]: This team's not doing that.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_04]: You know, they're like, no, we're going to, we will keep this a game.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_04]: And some of it is, Sean's not playing that well, but credit to him.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_04]: The defense is keeping it close and he's giving them a reason to.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_04]: He's got, yeah, what five come from behind wins or four come from behind wins this year for him to.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_04]: And he, yeah, four.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_04]: And he should have had one last week.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_04]: He led the game when he drive last week.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_04]: So, yeah, he did despite him not playing,
- 8:42[SPEAKER_04]: that great at least not for any kind of stretch like he plays in spurts a good um he's giving the defense a reason to want to keep it a game late going into the fourth quarter because for whatever reason that's when he figures out he remembers how to play football for three minutes anyway and we go score touchdown we win the game it's it's kind of incredible so
- 9:02[SPEAKER_04]: you don't get any of that unless the team is bought in till like what the coaching staff is putting out there and you also have to have for once it's it feels like the Browns have leaders on the field that was always my biggest gripe when Kevin was here people would get mad because Kevin wasn't like a hoot and holler kind of guy and I was like well if he's got to be that you're probably not going to be very good you need guys who are on the field
- 9:25[SPEAKER_04]: to be, you know, whole people accountable.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_04]: And we weren't getting that.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_04]: This year, it seems like we're getting it.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_04]: And Josh, do you take over for me?
- 9:34[SPEAKER_04]: Because I didn't want dad duty.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_04]: And I have to step away.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_04]: I'll try to be back.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_02]: No problem.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so Blake's going to step away.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_02]: I just wanted to add into here with this whole defense of performance like,
- 9:45[SPEAKER_02]: The Ravens came into this game as a top five offense in total yards per game, and last week with Tyler Huntley at quarterback, they put up almost 400 yards of offense against the Atlanta Falcons, and today we held them to 235.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_02]: 235 under 250 yards of offense.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_02]: this defense is something else.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_02]: We, and I know we didn't have like the, we had the fumble boys, far as like innerceptions and things go, could have had what for.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_02]: I think Denzel could have had to e-man could have had one.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_02]: Harden could have had one.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_02]: We're just not catching them.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_02]: No, some of those start going on.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_06]: Read them in, man.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_06]: Breathe them in, you know?
- 10:24[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's a while.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_06]: But hey, we put our preview together.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_06]: We said a bunch of stuff before this game.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_06]: One thing I said for whatever reason, the ravens have been poem the, you know, rabbit out of the hat, lost three games, you know?
- 10:40[SPEAKER_06]: And we kept it close and guess what?
- 10:43[SPEAKER_06]: Just like us.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_06]: You know, the three weeks before we lost to the jets, we pulled the rabbit out of the hat for winds and it just fell apart on them.
- 10:52[SPEAKER_06]: And what happened to them at the end?
- 10:55[SPEAKER_06]: Cossie penalties, you know, they just, it sometimes you just can't keep pulling the rabbit out of the hat.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you just can't keep pulling out winds like that.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_06]: And you got to have some kind of football that that complementary football that works.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_06]: And it just didn't work for them on the road.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I mean, it's crazy that we are able to keep doing this.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, my biggest complaint with this team so far this year really has just been the sustainability of the formula we're using to win these games.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we can't keep doing this.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_02]: We can't keep getting lucky and holding these good teams and everything.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_02]: And then lo and behold, we go into, you know, week six is the Baltimore Ravens,
- 11:44[SPEAKER_02]: I am if you were to tell me in the beginning of this game that we were going to end up winning out of said you're crazy because I thought there was no way the way we looked both offense and defense in the first quarter.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they're going to boat race us, but defense clamp down offense did nothing whatsoever until fourth quarter, but that's when we needed them to do something.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_02]: So
- 12:06[SPEAKER_06]: Well, like for my just between our text group, like I mean, I told you right from the beginning we're not going to stop here a Henry like our defensive line like I don't even know who's going to show up now this is before the inactive's and all that kind of stuff to right and you know maybe there's a little bit of burning coes art there and the like got the crowd going but I don't know about you guys, but I thought the Browns came out kind of lack of days ago.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_06]: I thought they were low energy.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_06]: So I
- 12:33[SPEAKER_06]: You know, first place is on the line guys and I felt like the ravens came out and they're like, hey, we want to take first place.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_06]: And I even thought the crowd was quiet.
- 12:42[SPEAKER_06]: Now, I don't know if it's because the guardians lost last night, maybe that's it.
- 12:46[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_06]: And like my own browns backers group.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_06]: They were quiet so maybe there was a lack of belief and that was like between the players and the fans.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know, but as the game started up, they're up immediately.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_06]: They're up 10 nothing and I'm like screwed this this and I know everybody was like that because I don't know the way my crowd was no one's going.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we're playing great right now.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_06]: And as the game went on it was at the 12 minute mark.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe in the third quarter where we got a three points.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_06]: We got to feel goal.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_06]: And then after that.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_06]: things kind of the change and then all of a sudden it's like if we got that we got the turnover, we capitalize on the turnover, then you know we're all back now from you know bitching that we're how bad or often it is and how bad everything was.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_06]: We're like I think I think we might have this, you know and I don't know about you guys but I was kind of chuckle to myself about Debo Sweeney and he was used to say that you know Sean Watson was a Michael Jordan of
- 13:46[SPEAKER_06]: You know, quarterbacks, right?
- 13:48[SPEAKER_06]: But now with him constantly pulling these winds out this year, I mean, Jordan was a fourth quarter guy.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_06]: You know, he doesn't have the stats, he doesn't have anything, but I mean, maybe that's what he meant.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, overall, I mean, I see you.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_02]: We got good friend of the show here, Derek Brown from Fancy Pros, tune in and in.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_02]: Good to hear from you here, Derek says Deshawn Watson has ants still sucks.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_02]: He does.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_02]: I can't imagine any Browns fan sitting there watching that game up until the fourth quarter and saying anything other than good God get this guy out of here.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_02]: Because it was bad.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you look, I don't know how many people actually watched the game entirely or followed along with the stats.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_02]: You're sitting at halftime.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_02]: He was three for nine.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_02]: for 24 yards passing, and with the sacs he had taken in the first half, we had 11 net yards passing in the first half.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_02]: Three, that's it.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_02]: And this is the thing.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_02]: So I get people mad at me all the time like, dude, just be happy with the win.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_02]: I'm freaking thrilled with the win.
- 14:53[SPEAKER_02]: I love that we won.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so excited.
- 14:55[SPEAKER_02]: But I can also look at it from two points of view here in Sam Glad that we won.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_02]: But I can see a struggling to continue when you see I didn't glad we got first place in the AFC North, but I want to freakin' keep it.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_02]: Okay?
- 15:08[SPEAKER_02]: That's where I'm coming from.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_02]: And the way he's playing right now, we're not going to be able to keep first place.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, 100% to and like the the reference to Jordan was really just pulling it out.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_06]: That no, I understand really saying like really in your self.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_06]: It's done in the fourth.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_06]: I give.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he's willing himself to win and that's where the credit ends, right?
- 15:27[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, because the one thing that we were talking about just before we started this is about Deshawn Watson staying in the pocket and hitting players in stride, right?
- 15:37[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_06]: If you watch every single catch,
- 15:40[SPEAKER_06]: or a lot of the catches, guys have to contort their bodies to like snatch the ball out of the air.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_06]: And that's not always sustainable either.
- 15:51[SPEAKER_06]: You're supposed to run routes get open and hit guys and stride.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_06]: And the thing that drives me that not nuts the most about the quarterback play today is we had guys wheeling out.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_06]: of into the flats, mainly our running backs.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_06]: When you have running box, those are skilled positions.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_06]: The skilled position players, if they can get momentum when they catch the ball, it's good for them.
- 16:15[SPEAKER_06]: But you're constantly reaching back stopping.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_06]: That's when you get bad plays in the flats.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_06]: There was times where the McLachlan came in.
- 16:22[SPEAKER_06]: If you were to hit him and stride, that guy is a jitterbug.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_06]: He could make a move and he could be down the field.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_06]: We're missing those opportunities
- 16:33[SPEAKER_02]: No, and when there is a completion, which today was rare, you know, is that the receiver's feet, they're dropping down, diving, falling to try to catch it, not hitting anybody in stride.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_02]: Understand, there's a time in place for those types of throws when you're trying to, you know, keep a guy from taking a bad hit or it's written, you know, the middle of a three man's own, whatever.
- 16:51[SPEAKER_02]: I understand that, but it's not like that every play.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_02]: It's every play.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_02]: It's always at the bottom, they're falling for these almost dirt in these things.
- 16:58[SPEAKER_02]: It's just, you know,
- 17:00[SPEAKER_02]: It's frustrating to watch and it's just funny because I see like people here in the chat and the brown fans I talk to in my life and then I see some of the stuff people say on Twitter and I'm like I don't think we're all the same cut from the same cloth here because people are giving me a lot of crap for saying he didn't play well today.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like he didn't play well at all today.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_02]: It was
- 17:20[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the team won despite his poor play, fortunately, like you said, credit, he's getting it done in the fourth quarter when there's an opportunity to get it done.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_02]: But if those opportunities aren't there in the fourth quarter, it's over.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_02]: Like I told you before, this should have poured down by two scores in the fourth quarter for get about it.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_02]: Forget it, like even if it's 10 points, and then we're screwed.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_02]: So that's where I'm looking ahead, you know, if we want to try to stay in first place or we want to try to make the playoffs this year,
- 17:48[SPEAKER_02]: He's got to get dramatically better.

- 19:46[SPEAKER_06]: No, I mean, our offense was way better in 2023.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_06]: We got snuffed out in the in the in the plastic.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_06]: We would go nowhere.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_06]: It would be a one and done with this offense.
- 19:56[SPEAKER_06]: The first thing you have to do is you have to come out like at least with like the previous regime, at least our scripted plays in our first drive was great.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_06]: You know, this is three and out every single time we just threw the defense in the in the boiling.
- 20:10[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you know, and then again, they they come along really slow our defense comes along a lot faster But like you got to start with some kind of momentum like against the Steelers.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_06]: That's the way to start the game, right?
- 20:24[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so for anybody who didn't watch the game or just doesn't quite remember here's how the first half went
- 20:30[SPEAKER_02]: three play punt five play punt I'm sorry let's go back three plays negative three yards punt five place ten yards punt six place seventeen yards punt five place twenty two yards punt three plays negative five yards and punt end of first half it was yeah brutal brutal
- 20:50[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you got it.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_06]: There's, I mean, you can tell Mankin's frustrated on the on the sidelines.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_06]: Well, like, I mean, he, like, was just some of the penalties.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_06]: And again, that's something that we kept under six penalties.
- 21:01[SPEAKER_06]: I'm actually a static with the little amount of penalties that we did.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_06]: last two weeks are getting better.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_06]: So they're getting better with that.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_06]: The alignment and that kind of stuff to still like I think Judy had a off sides and like those receiver ones.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_06]: Those are really frustrating.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_06]: But again, like they're coming along.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_06]: That kind of stuff is getting better.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, Monkton is a Monkton is an offensive coach, man.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_06]: He wants to see fireworks.
- 21:27[SPEAKER_06]: He is known for good receiver play.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_06]: And we're averaging what we had 148 yards this game.
- 21:34[SPEAKER_06]: What do we have last game?
- 21:35[SPEAKER_06]: 100.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, 144 and last week we had 102 like we like we barely get over 250 yards I know man.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_06]: It's like I just want to see a 300 yard game.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I mean?
- 21:49[SPEAKER_06]: So it was somebody I'm going back Well, I don't see him
- 21:59[SPEAKER_06]: a popped in for like a quick second there, but I mean, like I had the look back at the the stats because like at the end of the day I really thought that our defense didn't do as well as I thought they did as they did because of the first half and then when I take a look man we kept everything close the stats were super close like I mean first downs were tight you know are the penalties were tight fourth down efficiency all that kind of stuff so.
- 22:26[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we did enough to stay in the game, but I mean, it kind of reminded me of that green big game, you know, where we just really didn't seem to have a chance and just turn it around in the fourth quarter.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I went back and I did the math to like before the fourth quarter, um, let's see, so I guess I didn't do the full math here, uh, sorry guys, can be one quick second.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_02]: So before the fourth quarter to Sean Watson at 70 yards passing on the game,
- 22:54[SPEAKER_02]: That was it, brutal and then in the fourth quarter put up 94 in just that quarter alone.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_02]: So that's going to be in the story.
- 23:05[SPEAKER_02]: This year, I mean, he ends up 12 or 16 or 26 or 16 or 64.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_02]: No touchdowns, no picks, took five sacks, lost 20 yards.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_02]: You know, running the ball, I thought was actually better today because I did.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_02]: I like Jilly Omicloffland dude.
- 23:19[SPEAKER_02]: and I wish they'd be giving him a little bit more opportunity before now, but 9 for 41, S. to May, kind of the slower, more plotting back 9 for 19, but he did get the touchdown, which was great.
- 23:30[SPEAKER_02]: As far as receiving goes like we said, Denzel, Boston, Harrow Finn, and Junior just won catch a piece.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's not going to get it done.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_02]: You're not going to win many games when you're two best players touch the ball one time.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_02]: make that it got to fix that Jerry Judy's end up being the leading receiver four for six and nine had that huge 33 yard play at the end of the game there to set us up in field war range play.
- 23:51[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're back.
- 23:51[SPEAKER_02]: Can you hear us?
- 23:52[SPEAKER_02]: I'm yes.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to say though, I'm going to quick touch on something that you about the running game.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_06]: I'd have to say the 93 yards we got was
- 24:02[SPEAKER_06]: fantastic and the reason is is because we got two guys that were on the street two weeks ago, right?
- 24:08[SPEAKER_06]: And they did enough to put 93 yards on and a touchdown on the board.
- 24:13[SPEAKER_06]: Well, no, 30 of that was Sean rushing.
- 24:17[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
- 24:17[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_06]: But still like like estimate, he wasn't really on a team, right?
- 24:24[SPEAKER_06]: He was on the practice squad.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_06]: Like he doesn't
- 24:25[SPEAKER_06]: have any kind of like cohesion with our line.
- 24:29[SPEAKER_06]: And Julio McGlockling got picked up two, three weeks ago.
- 24:31[SPEAKER_06]: We essentially took the Broncos old backfield, put it in our backfield, and got it like serviceable enough to make the running game respectable, I guess.
- 24:45[SPEAKER_06]: It was an awesome, but it was respectable.
- 24:48[SPEAKER_06]: There was some sustainability to it.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_02]: Blake, we've kind of been talking about just the ineffectiveness of Dishon Watson for the vast majority of the game.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to chime in at all, thoughts on that.
- 25:02[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know what it feels like to me, I was thinking about this earlier.
- 25:06[SPEAKER_04]: You guys remember when the bears went to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman?
- 25:10[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, when he was in everybody knew Rex Grossman wasn't good and like he didn't really play that well But they had an incredible defense and they went like they won like every a ton of games Obviously went to the Super Bowl and it was like Rex Grossman's definitely the reason why they're not killing people But they're winning so I guess he's gonna still be our start and quarterback and then he if I remember correctly was tall He's crap in the Super Bowl
- 25:38[SPEAKER_04]: but that's almost what it feels like for us in terms of like the shons were winning he's doing just enough.
- 25:47[SPEAKER_04]: for us to win games.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_04]: He's not playing really good football at all other than in sports and most of the time the spurs are, you know, late in the games, which, I mean, in credit to him for that, but it feels like the special teams and the defense are dragging him in the offense to these wins.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_04]: Now, the only thing is is
- 26:10[SPEAKER_04]: do you risk moving on from him and then all of a sudden you don't get there's there's two things that could happen maybe should or comes in in the offense lights up or what of should or comes in and it doesn't light up and then and you start losing these close games instead of winning them now you're going to lose the locker room like that because again so you bench that we were winning with that guy we were foreign to with that guy and
- 26:39[SPEAKER_04]: I think basically until you lose a bunch of games in a row, I just don't know if at least for like a locker room standpoint really if you can make a change, because if you make a change and you start losing the locker room's gone.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's it's crazy to make a change when you're winning.
- 26:57[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I don't think that's I just put so I made a pole here in the chat before the show said Browns are foreign to but should they continue starting to show on Watson it's Browns fans are split we're 49% yes and 51% no so.
- 27:11[SPEAKER_02]: Depends on who you ask people are I mean like you said it could go either way like the offense could light up and we could actually maybe score points before the fourth quarter would be nice Maybe sustain a drive or two like I was telling the guys out.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you were on yet or not Blake, but every single drive we had in the first Have was like either three three and out punt or five plays and punt like it was bad
- 27:33[SPEAKER_02]: Like, but like I said, maybe it gets worse and then you lose that fourth quarter magic and now you're not winning close games.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_02]: So I think you got to go wasn't good until it
- 27:43[SPEAKER_04]: What's that?
- 27:44[SPEAKER_04]: I knew it was a good one.
- 27:45[SPEAKER_04]: He was like, three of nine at half time or something, I didn't say anything.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_04]: Like something I've never even seen before.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_04]: It's like that every gay man almost has what it feels like.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_04]: I just don't know.
- 27:55[SPEAKER_04]: I just don't think you can make a change unless, and to, I mean, the Browns are a Titans, the Titans away from being five and two.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I mean?
- 28:06[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, they're, they're, they're a trip down to Nashville away from being five and two.
- 28:12[SPEAKER_04]: I just don't think you can make any changes like that.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_02]: I just know you can't.
- 28:17[SPEAKER_04]: No, and I, we're borderline lucky that the Rams keep losing.
- 28:25[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the car goes, what the world is going on.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_04]: So man, maybe Miles Garrett's cursed.
- 28:32[SPEAKER_04]: It's also very funny to me though because like,
- 28:35[SPEAKER_04]: As much as I appreciate what Miles did here, it's making me laugh internally a lot that he wanted out of here so bad and we traded him to the Rams and he thought he was going to join a super team and they're two and four.
- 28:49[SPEAKER_04]: And we're four and two that's kind of incredible, honestly.
- 28:53[SPEAKER_02]: Beautiful.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's awesome.
- 28:57[SPEAKER_04]: We're winning games to Sean's playing well on spurts, but there's no, I think you asked early in the week what would you grade him?
- 29:04[SPEAKER_04]: And I said, see minus on the season so far and that's because of the fourth quarter comebacks and doing some of the stuff with his legs.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_04]: If he didn't have, if he wasn't playing well for three to five minutes every fourth quarter,
- 29:20[SPEAKER_04]: He'd be the worst quarterback in the league.
- 29:22[SPEAKER_02]: For sure.
- 29:23[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 29:24[SPEAKER_02]: The pocket presence is terrible.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_02]: He, you can just see it, man.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_02]: Any time when the first read isn't there, it's like, okay, I got to get out of here.
- 29:32[SPEAKER_02]: I got to go and it's like, you know, trying to panic.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, okay, you're coming.
- 29:36[SPEAKER_04]: He's probably going to get sacked, you know?
- 29:38[SPEAKER_04]: This is how I know it wasn't going well before the comeback.
- 29:42[SPEAKER_04]: I was listening on the radio and he he started to scream well in Silliana is like to Sean's rolling to his left.
- 29:49[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he's got Boston deep and I thought he threw it to Denzel Boston deep and I was like, Oh, I forgot to score a long touchdown here.
- 29:56[SPEAKER_04]: He's like, Oh, he didn't see him.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_04]: He's still scrambling.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_04]: But he was so open that the play by play guy like announced it like oh, he's definitely gonna rip it to this guy He's running wide open down the middle of the field and then he didn't and he had to like regroup in the middle of the play So it that like that's how I knew things weren't going well before the comeback started
- 30:24[SPEAKER_02]: It's hilarious.
- 30:25[SPEAKER_02]: And like a lot of people keep throwing out all well.
- 30:27[SPEAKER_02]: The offensive lines sucks and the receivers can't get open.
- 30:32[SPEAKER_02]: Our receivers, I believe like the top two guys, Casey and Boston are in what, can he top 15 of separation score and open rate on this season?
- 30:40[SPEAKER_02]: So listen, we infused this offense with talent and we're not able to use them.
- 30:45[SPEAKER_02]: That's a problem.
- 30:46[SPEAKER_02]: We rebuilt this offensive line.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_02]: Now they're not top of the league.
- 30:49[SPEAKER_02]: But I think pretty much everybody agrees through the first six games.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_02]: They've been serviceable in past protection.
- 30:55[SPEAKER_02]: Now the run blocking game is been iffy.
- 30:57[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, past protections have been OK.
- 31:01[SPEAKER_02]: This guy just, man, it's so hard watching and play.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_02]: But you're right, we keep winning.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, OK, I mean, those were winning.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_02]: It's fine.
- 31:10[SPEAKER_02]: But if that stops, conversations are going to change.
- 31:15[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, it's frustrating to see the pocket.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I know it does collapse down on him.
- 31:19[SPEAKER_06]: He did start stepping up through the season, which was great.
- 31:23[SPEAKER_06]: But now, I don't know if you guys feel this way.
- 31:26[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, not today at all.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_06]: But I don't know if you feel like sometimes he just gets back and he's at the top of his step back or his drop back and meant to say, and then he looks.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, there's guys open, I can see like whatever little screen I have.
- 31:40[SPEAKER_06]: There's guys rip that ball and he doesn't, he doesn't rip it and then he starts going to the left.
- 31:46[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't know what he's not seeing or maybe it's inside of the screen that I'm seeing that looks open, but he just needs
- 31:54[SPEAKER_06]: to read and let it rip.
- 31:56[SPEAKER_06]: And even if it's like, if it's just not there, it's like what I was saying earlier, hit those, those backs out of the back field.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_06]: Those are playmaker's men.
- 32:04[SPEAKER_06]: There's some crossers that come across, it's either fan in or conception.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_06]: They're coming across the field and he never takes them.
- 32:12[SPEAKER_06]: Never takes them.
- 32:12[SPEAKER_02]: There's a crossing for a reason, give your playmaker's a ball.
- 32:16[SPEAKER_02]: There's a couple of third downs where we ended up having to punt and he had Jerry Judy over the middle wide open.
- 32:21[SPEAKER_02]: People with another guy that has a good separation score.
- 32:25[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, dude.
- 32:26[SPEAKER_02]: He's, he's, he's open, just throw to him.
- 32:29[SPEAKER_02]: The fans, the fans in the stadium, we're not happy.
- 32:31[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, booing.
- 32:33[SPEAKER_02]: pretty much every time the offense had the ball today.
- 32:35[SPEAKER_02]: Dizziness.
- 32:37[SPEAKER_04]: So this is one of those things where again, and I'm so pumped that the Browns are foreign to and in first place, and I really think that there's, I think they're going to be five and two after all.
- 32:48[SPEAKER_04]: So the Titans, this I just think is deep.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_04]: I think we could win if one to nothing.
- 32:52[SPEAKER_04]: If there's a way to score one in football that I don't know about.
- 32:55[SPEAKER_04]: I think we could beat the Titans one and nothing because I just don't know if they'll be able to move the ball on our defense.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_04]: If there's a quarterback that's worse than to shine than the NFL, it's came more terrible.
- 33:05[SPEAKER_04]: So, but this is what tells me also that it's not sustainable to do this.
- 33:11[SPEAKER_04]: Now, maybe it is.
- 33:12[SPEAKER_04]: If the defense is this good in the schedule, it the schedule gets tougher throughout the season, but
- 33:18[SPEAKER_04]: Like right now and like we could Brad a lot of wins just because if we play bad opponents and we have a great defense, but we only average 18.6 points per game.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_04]: That's got to only be like a what maybe a point or two better than it was the last couple years and that was with some of the worst offensive talent you've ever seen put on an NFL football field.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_04]: We have, we're averaging less points per game, we've scored less points in our opponents.
- 33:46[SPEAKER_04]: We have less touchdowns in our opponents.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_04]: We have less first downs in our opponents.
- 33:53[SPEAKER_04]: Our third down efficiency is only 30% as opposed to 39% for the teams we play.
- 34:04[SPEAKER_04]: it's just not sustainable to win football games like this.
- 34:06[SPEAKER_04]: At least that's what I would think.
- 34:08[SPEAKER_04]: If I saw these, if you put up the Browns, if I had to pick the Browns record, I didn't know what it was and you showed me these stats.
- 34:17[SPEAKER_04]: I think they were a winless football team.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_04]: Or, you know, best case like, yeah, one in one and five, two and four.
- 34:23[SPEAKER_04]: There's no way in the world I would guess if this is a foreign to football team.
- 34:27[SPEAKER_04]: until you flip the switch and you went and looked at our defensive numbers.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we're only giving up 22 points again.
- 34:32[SPEAKER_04]: So it's like, it's just, it's, it's kind of crazy that we're foreign to, but I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to complain, I guess.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to, I'm going to, I'll, I'll save my complaining until we start losing for now.
- 34:44[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just going to be a static that we're foreign to.
- 34:47[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, we had a blast at the last five minutes of this game, even though we missed a field goal, that would have put us ahead,
- 34:53[SPEAKER_06]: We had a blast watching this game, like I mean, our defense is like, you typically wanna get up for the offense, the offense supposed to be fun.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_06]: We're cheering more for our defense.
- 35:02[SPEAKER_06]: Like, we're ready for them to come out in the field.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_06]: And like, the lumber to somebody, man, where there's a defensive end coming around the corner, you know, E-Mac coming and like, just smash and somebody are almost picking something off.
- 35:17[SPEAKER_06]: Like, we know something big's gonna happen.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_06]: And the defense is fun to watch, man.
- 35:22[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's it really is and they're the only side of the ball that has any sort of excitement to whatsoever.
- 35:30[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, the defense is great.
- 35:31[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, there's some people like, oh, you guys are just getting lucky in these wins.
- 35:35[SPEAKER_02]: We absolutely are.
- 35:37[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we are getting a bunch of bouncing our way.
- 35:40[SPEAKER_02]: But you need that in the NFL at times and, you know, like all we're not playing, you know, very difficult opponents.
- 35:45[SPEAKER_02]: You can only play who's on your schedule and we didn't pick for Lamar Jackson to be out today.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_02]: That bounce in our favor.
- 35:50[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, you can't lose to the Ravens at home without Lamar Jackson.
- 35:54[SPEAKER_02]: Like if you, if you think you're a good team, it's got like last week.
- 35:57[SPEAKER_02]: You can't go into New York and lose to the jets if you think you're a good team.
- 36:00[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we did.
- 36:01[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like next week.
- 36:02[SPEAKER_02]: You can't go to Tennessee and lose to that Titan's team if you think you're any bit of a good team.
- 36:07[SPEAKER_02]: We were able to get it done today.
- 36:08[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't last week.
- 36:09[SPEAKER_02]: I'm praying to God next week as like you said Blake, like just, I don't care if we only score three.
- 36:15[SPEAKER_02]: Just gonna be three to nothing.
- 36:15[SPEAKER_02]: Just don't lose the talent to see.
- 36:18[SPEAKER_04]: I'd like us to not suck that bad.
- 36:20[SPEAKER_04]: Since I'm gonna be there, but I'll win the win.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take a win.
- 36:24[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, absolutely.
- 36:25[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
- 36:25[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, at the end of the season, you know, like, and I see people in the corner saying, like, the schedule gets a little tougher as a season goes on.
- 36:31[SPEAKER_02]: We think it does.
- 36:33[SPEAKER_02]: Again, you never know when you're going to go up against the team that doesn't have their quarterback again.
- 36:36[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 36:37[SPEAKER_02]: But the more wins you can stack early on is just going to help, you know, buffer that, you know, kind of pad those stats for later in the season went okay.
- 36:45[SPEAKER_02]: If you drop a gamer to, you're still okay because you want some games you shouldn't have early or didn't think you were going to.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to try to be in the hunt, which right now looks like we're going to be.
- 36:56[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we're just we're not in the hunt, we're going to be in the season at the end of the season.
- 37:01[SPEAKER_04]: If we're going to still be where how crazy is it to say that we're leading the hunt right now?
- 37:06[SPEAKER_02]: It's awesome.
- 37:07[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Aaron Butler or any stealer, Ravens and Chad.
- 37:11[SPEAKER_04]: One thing I want to say, credit to the Brown, they muddy up every game.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_04]: Like, yeah, it's bad as the offense is, as long as the defense comes to play, they're going to be in every single game and give us a chance to win.
- 37:24[SPEAKER_04]: Just like it has been in almost every game this year.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_04]: because of how good they are.
- 37:29[SPEAKER_04]: Like, they shorten the game.
- 37:31[SPEAKER_04]: They take the ball out of the offensive hand.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_04]: They, three and outs.
- 37:36[SPEAKER_04]: Like, they just, they make it ugly.
- 37:38[SPEAKER_04]: They play hard, they play gritty.
- 37:40[SPEAKER_04]: And like, even if we can only score 18 points, you need to score 19 to beat us.
- 37:46[SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna make it earn all 19 of them.
- 37:49[SPEAKER_04]: You know, and you're gonna feel it.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_04]: And so far, this defense is tough to do that against this defense.
- 37:56[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, and they're keeping us in the game, right?
- 37:59[SPEAKER_06]: So I mean, it's great for these, how young this team is and they're pulling these wins out.
- 38:04[SPEAKER_06]: It's great for them to mature with that winning culture, thinking that you can always get it done.
- 38:10[SPEAKER_06]: That's the biggest thing that I do like about it.
- 38:12[SPEAKER_06]: The other thing is, while they're keeping the defenses that is, while they're keeping us in games, at some point, this offense has got to click.
- 38:21[SPEAKER_06]: at some point, like you got it that the running game's got to come or be adequate enough for the play action game to come along and you got to hit Boston's going to develop KC's going to develop, you know, fans, those are, that's all legit talent there, just a matter of like,
- 38:39[SPEAKER_06]: getting to Sean's getting a quarterback in there, man.
- 38:42[SPEAKER_06]: Like, somebody's got to pull the trigger on this stuff because we're seeing an open man, I even heard to Sean in the press conference today.
- 38:49[SPEAKER_06]: And his presser, he's like, it's coming.
- 38:51[SPEAKER_06]: Like, we're going to click at some point.
- 38:54[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if it's going to be with him.
- 38:56[SPEAKER_02]: And what I mean, but we'll see.
- 38:58[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, well, you're kind of the driving factor of it clicking to Sean, you are the quarterback, like you're running this out there.
- 39:03[SPEAKER_02]: But the other thing, and I'm not trying to say I'm panic or worried or anything, but it is two weeks in a row now that we've seen Andre Schmidt miss a kick.
- 39:13[SPEAKER_02]: Now, today he came back, redeemed himself, got the game winner that was great.
- 39:17[SPEAKER_02]: Just,
- 39:18[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, please don't go down this dust and Hopkins route, right, where we had this phenomenal season with dust and Hopkins thought our kicking problem is solved, and then all of a sudden the next year it was like he started to miss some kicks.
- 39:28[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just kind of crazy that like the first month of the season, you're still on a medic.
- 39:32[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, he and you what 25 in a row until he missed today.
- 39:36[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I'm not going to, I don't want to give him a pass, but that's why I'm not malicious less weather was a truss just last week.
- 39:44[SPEAKER_04]: So like, you're not going to make them all, you're definitely not going to make them all when it's a monsoon.
- 39:51[SPEAKER_04]: So, but missing how far was the attempt to
- 39:56[SPEAKER_02]: uh... the one he missed yeah forty eight there's one that he hit forty eight uh... that one he hit was thirty seven okay so it was for it was for it was it wasn't like I wasn't a give me
- 40:07[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he pushed the other one the same way though.
- 40:10[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they both misses were the exact same miss.
- 40:13[SPEAKER_06]: So I don't know if there's what's going on with that.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_04]: And here's the thing is he immediately came back and made a game winner.
- 40:19[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, all of our kickers are going all the way back to Phil Dawson, they just would have missed again.
- 40:27[SPEAKER_04]: like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
- 40:51[SPEAKER_02]: We'll crack into them, Adam's up for you guys.
- 40:53[SPEAKER_02]: This is Adam from Chattanooga.
- 40:55[SPEAKER_03]: Let's go 13 to 10 win over the Ravens.
- 40:59[SPEAKER_03]: Let's go, what a roller coaster.
- 41:02[SPEAKER_03]: My heart can't take many more weeks of these.
- 41:05[SPEAKER_03]: Cardiac kids too, electric boogaloo and full effect.
- 41:09[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, squeaked out the win and we're about five minutes from the Guardians game.
- 41:15[SPEAKER_03]: What a Sunday.
- 41:16[SPEAKER_03]: Let's go Browns.
- 41:21[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, it was, oh, I just, I just, I feel it, man, because the whole game I really was just sitting there, like, depressed on the couch, just watching it, you know, on my kids, like, are they winning yet?
- 41:33[SPEAKER_02]: Like, just stop asking, they're not winning.
- 41:35[SPEAKER_02]: Like, and they're, they're gonna win.
- 41:36[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, no, they're not gonna win.
- 41:38[SPEAKER_02]: And they won, and I just like, I can't, because they don't have the game.
- 41:40[SPEAKER_02]: They did, they went, you know, they actually did.
- 41:42[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe it, but,
- 41:45[SPEAKER_04]: So this is so funny.
- 41:47[SPEAKER_04]: My wife was laughing because we're watching the first quarter as we're getting ready to leave today And my daughter's like the ravens have 10 point and I'm like yeah, she's like the Browns don't have any and I was like
- 42:01[SPEAKER_04]: And then it'd be like a couple minutes later and she'd be like the brown still don't have any points And then my wife laughing like as she's getting ready because she is she I think she She likes when they're terrible because she likes making fun of me for being such an avid fan
- 42:19[SPEAKER_04]: I gotta talk to her about that, but yeah, it was just like, even my kid was like, they still don't have any points and she's four.
- 42:29[SPEAKER_04]: How many are they ever gonna score a touchdown?
- 42:31[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you're, you're, hey, you're gonna, you're really, you're buying in now.
- 42:34[SPEAKER_04]: You got a long life of asking these questions because that's how I feel.
- 42:39[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
- 42:40[SPEAKER_06]: the only thing about the cardiac kids in the 80s is they actually scored points and the fun of them as they could, they were outscoring at the end when they had plus 20 points in every game almost here right?
- 42:52[SPEAKER_02]: So tell you what, if we find a way to put any sort of offense together.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_02]: Score some points like actually get on the board in the first half.
- 42:59[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of like we did against the Steelers, and then we just dropped a doose to the rest of the second half.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_02]: Then like if you could put a full game together, I'm not saying score every drive, but sustain a drive, eat up some clock, score a couple times in the first half.
- 43:12[SPEAKER_02]: This team could be really freaking good.
- 43:14[SPEAKER_02]: With this defense, my gosh.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_04]: If there's a team, the tight, just go down to Tennessee and just, just, like, just open it up, block.
- 43:25[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, it's, I'd love to see a score like 20 points in a half and then do it again.
- 43:31[SPEAKER_06]: You know, 100% and then Blake, Blake, we just want to be sitting there with our beers, watching the game, talking about how good isn't chilling out, man.
- 43:39[SPEAKER_06]: That's all I want to do.
- 43:40[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, like the guy said, I don't need these heart attacks at the end of the game.
- 43:43[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I mean?
- 43:45[SPEAKER_04]: kid Wilson says listening to these guys you thought we lost browns media doesn't know how to be happy We've said a million times we're super pumped about the win, but be honest with yourself if you're sitting If you're gonna talk about today's game you're gonna talk about how good the defense was you're gonna talk about Audrey kicked making the game winner
- 44:02[SPEAKER_04]: what if you're going to talk about the offense, what are we supposed to do?
- 44:06[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, we've talked that we've given them their flowers about how they stayed with it, they stayed locked in, they're bought in, they did it again, let another drive to get the points you needed, but let's be honest, the offense is not good, you know, it's like, yeah, it will.
- 44:21[SPEAKER_06]: There's a talk about this man.
- 44:23[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, we can start to think it's corrected.
- 44:27[SPEAKER_04]: Like we can still talk about, you know, things that we can improve on upon to be better going forward.
- 44:33[SPEAKER_02]: Here's how I mean, I feel like we won a lot of people sit there and watch the game.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_02]: At least this is the vibe I get from some people on.
- 44:39[SPEAKER_02]: on Twitter and I think Anthony Lyme was one of them.
- 44:42[SPEAKER_02]: You're watching the game of the whole time and you're going, wow, to Sean Watson blows.
- 44:46[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, this offense is terrible.
- 44:47[SPEAKER_02]: I can't watch anymore this.
- 44:48[SPEAKER_02]: And then they win in the end and you're like, the Browns win, you guys are idiots for saying anything negative.
- 44:53[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I guarantee you guys were all saying the entire game.
- 44:58[SPEAKER_02]: This is terrible.

- 45:04[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Browns Vand, you know, we've all messed around with the sports books before, right?
- 45:08[SPEAKER_02]: And let's be honest, you're always kind of playing against the house.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_02]: But with Kaoshi, it's different.

- 45:20[SPEAKER_02]: Kaoshi just runs the marketplace.
- 45:22[SPEAKER_02]: So if you think the public is wrong and the Browns can make the playoffs in Todd Munkins first year, or Casey Concepcion, Denzel Boston, one of those guys can win offensive rookie of the year.
- 45:31[SPEAKER_02]: You can take the other side of the market and then if you're right, that's a big payout for you.
- 45:35[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not just sports either.
- 45:36[SPEAKER_02]: You can trade on other real-world stuff, interest rates, inflation, even wild weather outcomes.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_02]: It works like this.

- 46:56[SPEAKER_06]: And everybody here did the exact same thing at home, you know, yeah, they won.
- 47:01[SPEAKER_06]: It's fantastic.
- 47:02[SPEAKER_06]: We're first place AFC North tough division.
- 47:05[SPEAKER_06]: It's awesome.
- 47:06[SPEAKER_06]: But if you take a look at the stats, how positive can you really be?
- 47:18[SPEAKER_06]: You know, not minus the, um, sex of course.
- 47:21[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 47:21[SPEAKER_06]: And our top receiver 69 yards.
- 47:24[SPEAKER_06]: That's not, that's not awesome football to talk about man.
- 47:28[SPEAKER_06]: You got to bring it up to another level.
- 47:31[SPEAKER_06]: You know, they come on.
- 47:33[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let me play voicemail for all you got something Blake or a quick I'd just say if you if it makes you feel better I felt way worse after the buck guys when then I do today Yeah, yeah, I think the buck from losing that game on my yeah after the buck guys came I was like me And I don't think the buck guys are very good at least for the Browns.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_04]: I'm pumped.
- 47:51[SPEAKER_04]: We won.
- 47:51[SPEAKER_04]: I think we got I think two of our three units are
- 47:54[SPEAKER_04]: great.
- 47:54[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, you know, I feel better about the Browns and that respect than I then I did yesterday after the book I just went for sure man.
- 48:02[SPEAKER_04]: All right, we got to stay.
- 48:03[SPEAKER_00]: How about those brownies and first plays.
- 48:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 48:08[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 48:09[SPEAKER_00]: Who thought we could ever say something like that that's insane.
- 48:13[SPEAKER_00]: This game today.
- 48:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 48:15[SPEAKER_00]: I was just sitting here and watching it on the couch and
- 48:18[SPEAKER_00]: I literally had like zero excitement.
- 48:21[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like maybe a little bit when Jerry got that one pass at the end But other than that I just feel like I don't know.
- 48:28[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like watching the Browns lately It's just not fun.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_00]: You know like I'm very very happy that we're winning don't get me wrong I love winning especially against arrival but at the same time it just feels like
- 48:38[SPEAKER_00]: The game's not fun, like, you know, we just don't have any explosive offensive plays.
- 48:43[SPEAKER_00]: Like, maybe one here and there, and that's fine, defense is fun to watch.
- 48:47[SPEAKER_00]: Very fun to watch, but offense, it's just boring.
- 48:50[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just don't know how you can continue to play a quarter back, like, to Sean Watson, who had at one point.
- 48:56[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember if it was a half time or what it was, 11 yards passing.
- 49:00[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, how can you keep a player like that in?
- 49:02[SPEAKER_00]: I know Shador obviously has things that he needs to work on, but he's new.
- 49:06[SPEAKER_00]: He's a brand new quarterback.
- 49:07[SPEAKER_00]: He can't be worse than a quarterback that is throwing for 11 yards and a half or whatever it was.
- 49:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 49:14[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, go Browns.
- 49:14[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy we got the win.
- 49:16[SPEAKER_00]: Always happy to get a win.
- 49:17[SPEAKER_00]: Sad to see Dishon another week because, you know, if we get a win, that's what that means.
- 49:21[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see how they're after the weeks go.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go Browns.
- 49:24[SPEAKER_00]: Woo!
- 49:26[SPEAKER_06]: Well said, I mean, hey, somebody that was disappointed in the wind, not weird, huh?
- 49:33[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody that was critical of, there you go, not disappointed, but critical because like I've said throughout the show, you can watch this and say, I am fan, I'm just so happy we won, but I am very skeptical that we're going to be able to continue winning, playing like this.
- 49:50[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 49:54[SPEAKER_04]: The one thing I'll say, and she said, should we win plenty worse?
- 49:58[SPEAKER_04]: I find it'd be hard to be worse.
- 50:00[SPEAKER_04]: The one thing I'll say about this Sean, he's not turning the ball over.
- 50:05[SPEAKER_04]: And by not turning the ball over, that's what's allowing the defense and special teams to keep the game close.
- 50:13[SPEAKER_04]: They're not putting the defense out there and sudden changes.
- 50:18[SPEAKER_04]: We're not giving offence his short fields.
- 50:21[SPEAKER_04]: He's not turning the ball over.
- 50:24[SPEAKER_04]: maybe the most positive thing you can say now he's got a ton of turn over the place, but at least so far to this point he's gotten the lucky breaks in that regard.
- 50:33[SPEAKER_04]: He's only got two picks on the season.
- 50:35[SPEAKER_04]: He's only got seven touchdown passes, but he's only got two picks on the season.
- 50:40[SPEAKER_04]: you're not turning it over we said all year you're gonna have to win ugly don't turn it over play clean make your kicks Don't give up big returns and let the defense go out there and keep the game close Dude, I almost feel like that's what Todd monkey
- 50:56[SPEAKER_04]: That's just what he wants.
- 50:57[SPEAKER_04]: Like, it's almost like he knows to Sean isn't a top five, 10, 15 quarterback anymore.
- 51:04[SPEAKER_04]: But he just knows he won't go out there and turn it over.
- 51:07[SPEAKER_04]: And I almost think to Sean knows that's why he's playing because you see it.
- 51:12[SPEAKER_04]: He says it's in to pull the trigger.
- 51:13[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you're right.
- 51:15[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
- 51:16[SPEAKER_04]: There's guys open out there, man.
- 51:17[SPEAKER_04]: He's hesitant to pull the trigger.
- 51:19[SPEAKER_04]: He's hesitant to let it rip.
- 51:20[SPEAKER_04]: In some of it, some of it, I feel like he's that's why he plays on the fourth corner where it's like, he's like, okay, I gotta take the risk because we're losing.
- 51:29[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
- 51:29[SPEAKER_04]: They're opening it.
- 51:30[SPEAKER_02]: Who cares, least I was trying.
- 51:32[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, so you know, we're out of time.
- 51:33[SPEAKER_04]: I got to just rip it and it's almost like he's so hesitant to to rip it and turn it loose early in games because you know is the lack of turnovers is basically Keeping them on the field because if he starts turning the ball over a bunch what good things you have to say about them
- 51:48[SPEAKER_04]: You know, first of all, if he's turning the ball over a bunch, we won't be in the game close in the fourth quarter.
- 51:53[SPEAKER_04]: He won't have the opportunity to lead a fourth quarter drive.
- 51:55[SPEAKER_04]: So it's like he's still not trusting what he's seeing.
- 51:58[SPEAKER_04]: And he's not, he's too afraid to let it rip.
- 52:01[SPEAKER_04]: And he knows that's why he's on the field.
- 52:03[SPEAKER_04]: And it's almost like a double-edged sword.
- 52:06[SPEAKER_04]: The offense can't go because he won't throw it.
- 52:10[SPEAKER_04]: And he won't let it rip to the open guy, but the offense is able to win close games late because he's not turning the ball over, because he's not ripping it and trusting his eyes and he's just running the ball around and doing that kind of thing.
- 52:23[SPEAKER_04]: It's like it's kind of like a chicken in the egg kind of situation.
- 52:27[SPEAKER_06]: Now, I think you're right, but he is Rex Grossman.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to call him Rex, well, Watson right now, man, that he, it is the same thing that I can't believe it.
- 52:36[SPEAKER_06]: Like, when you brought that up, like, Rex Grossman, like, while he was 13 and three as a starter, like, that's 54% completion percentage, average 199 yards, a game, like, that's crazy.
- 52:49[SPEAKER_06]: 23 touchdowns, 20 interceptions, like, that's going to be the season if he continues to be the quarterback.
- 52:56[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just without all the interceptions because like you said, like, I agree with you 100%.
- 52:59[SPEAKER_02]: That is, that is his saving grace right now along with the fourth quarter fee, you know, her roaks and stuff.
- 53:04[SPEAKER_02]: That's got to happen.
- 53:05[SPEAKER_02]: I understand he's making the plays when he needs to.
- 53:07[SPEAKER_02]: It'd be nice.
- 53:08[SPEAKER_02]: We're just saying, like, make some plays in other parts of the game earlier.
- 53:11[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
- 53:12[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what it is early on the game.
- 53:14[SPEAKER_04]: I would live with some more picks.
- 53:16[SPEAKER_04]: If it comes with explosive plays down field and, you know, it's, it's, it's almost, it's like,
- 53:23[SPEAKER_04]: his Todd told him like hey man just you can't turn the ball over don't turn the ball over you're going to be the starting quarterback and it's like he took that really to heart because you see him late in the games you see him in the fourth quarter he he just plays it's like he looks more free he plays it's not all
- 53:39[SPEAKER_02]: This is how he played in 2024 though, if you remember, like he had very, very low turnover numbers in 2024 as well.
- 53:46[SPEAKER_02]: And everything we complained all the time, super low a dot, not throw on the ball down the field.
- 53:50[SPEAKER_02]: All these check down to get a high completion rate, low a dot, low turnover.
- 53:54[SPEAKER_02]: But the difference was the Browns are getting blown out of games.
- 53:57[SPEAKER_02]: We were not in position.
- 53:58[SPEAKER_02]: The defense didn't play very well that season, not up to, you know, what we saw in 2023 and then last year in 25.
- 54:04[SPEAKER_02]: Certainly now, what we're seeing now.
- 54:05[SPEAKER_02]: But we were losing, we were not in position to do these types of things at the end of games in 2024.
- 54:11[SPEAKER_02]: But the play is exactly the same.
- 54:13[SPEAKER_02]: So I think this is just him now.
- 54:15[SPEAKER_02]: This is the experience.
- 54:19[SPEAKER_04]: It's got a crazy, because it's like something magical happens.
- 54:22[SPEAKER_04]: You get under eight minutes.
- 54:23[SPEAKER_04]: It turns into freaking Joe Montana out of, it's crazy.
- 54:27[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's what you said though, like there's,
- 54:30[SPEAKER_02]: There's a freedom to just go out there and say, well, I'm not so concerned about making a mistake because if I do, you know, at least I was trying to lose any place.
- 54:37[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, yeah, I don't know.
- 54:40[SPEAKER_02]: But I got a good voicemail here from Dan.
- 54:43[SPEAKER_02]: I think guys are like, oh.
- 54:45[SPEAKER_01]: Get a legends, hey, gone.
- 54:47[SPEAKER_01]: This is Dan Har calling from the Sunshine Coast Australia.
- 54:52[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even gonna break that game down.
- 54:54[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just happy and just gonna bathe in glory.
- 54:59[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I just,
- 55:02[SPEAKER_01]: The best part about being a Brown's fan is that we don't take any wins for granted.
- 55:09[SPEAKER_01]: We celebrate every win like it's a Super Bowl and every team thinks that when they come up against Cleveland, they're going to walk all over the Browns.
- 55:22[SPEAKER_01]: So when we beat them, they're sting hurts.
- 55:27[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go Cleveland, don't mess with the Alph, let's go dogs, dogs for life, the biggest browns fan in Australia.
- 55:38[SPEAKER_06]: let's go, baby.
- 55:39[SPEAKER_06]: Let's go.
- 55:39[SPEAKER_06]: I was actually kind of surprised with the Ravens this week.
- 55:42[SPEAKER_06]: The came out Marlon Humphrey came out and said, you know, we don't play that well on Cleveland.
- 55:47[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, weird things happened there.
- 55:49[SPEAKER_06]: And I was surprised to hear that from them, actually.
- 55:52[SPEAKER_06]: I get what was it?
- 55:55[SPEAKER_06]: What was the guy's name?
- 55:55[SPEAKER_06]: So I was from Australia.
- 55:56[SPEAKER_06]: I can't remember what Dan.
- 55:59[SPEAKER_06]: I get what he's saying like there's like Steelers thought they're going to walk all over us.
- 56:02[SPEAKER_06]: They thought that you could see them on the sidelines that were like, we own these guys.
- 56:06[SPEAKER_06]: We can't lose, you know, and I just didn't get that from that air from the Ravens.
- 56:12[SPEAKER_06]: Other than when they started the game, they seemed like the team that wanted to play for first place.
- 56:18[SPEAKER_06]: And then we eventually got there.
- 56:20[SPEAKER_06]: Took us a while back going.
- 56:22[SPEAKER_04]: I want to say, first of all, we can't glosser the fact we just had a call from Australia.
- 56:25[SPEAKER_04]: I'm pretty sure that's like, is far away from us as you can possibly be on the planet.
- 56:31[SPEAKER_04]: So that's pretty awesome.
- 56:32[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 56:33[SPEAKER_04]: Two.
- 56:33[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 56:34[SPEAKER_04]: Definitely going to go watch Crocodile Dundee after this now.
- 56:38[SPEAKER_04]: But what I like my favorite movies ever growing up, so that was an awesome call.
- 56:41[SPEAKER_04]: We appreciate that.
- 56:42[SPEAKER_04]: That was awesome.
- 56:44[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder if you hung up and put another shrimp on the barbecue.
- 56:47[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think you have to.
- 56:49[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, absolutely man.
- 56:51[SPEAKER_04]: I see a lot of people in here talking about what he says.
- 56:53[SPEAKER_04]: Let me get this straight.
- 56:53[SPEAKER_04]: We were in the most embarrassing organizations.
- 56:56[SPEAKER_04]: We almost always lose and now we're winning some games and you're whining about how they do it.
- 56:59[SPEAKER_04]: We're not whining.
- 56:59[SPEAKER_04]: We're happy that we won.
- 57:01[SPEAKER_04]: We just want to see us get better.
- 57:02[SPEAKER_04]: Especially on the opposite side of the ball.
- 57:04[SPEAKER_04]: Like, we don't want it to stop before and too.
- 57:07[SPEAKER_04]: We're excited about being for and too.
- 57:08[SPEAKER_04]: We want to be five and two.
- 57:10[SPEAKER_04]: And then we want to be sitting too.
- 57:11[SPEAKER_04]: Who's whining?
- 57:12[SPEAKER_04]: Who's whining?
- 57:13[SPEAKER_06]: Man, do you even know what whining is?
- 57:15[SPEAKER_06]: Like, get out of here with that stuff.
- 57:16[SPEAKER_02]: If you thought anything about this offense today was good.
- 57:21[SPEAKER_04]: uh... go watch the game again for the first time probably because you must have missed it that was terrible terrible this is this is one of the misses how i felt today just and i didn't i got to like watch it and like three different ways watch game cast and listening and i i i just was watching and falling along and it was one of those things or it's like a
- 57:39[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, God, we suck.
- 57:41[SPEAKER_04]: We suck again.
- 57:41[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, this team's, why am I fainting this team?
- 57:43[SPEAKER_04]: What is going on?
- 57:44[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, shit, we won.
- 57:45[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
- 57:45[SPEAKER_04]: That's about it.
- 57:45[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 58:03[SPEAKER_04]: We we're awful.
- 58:04[SPEAKER_04]: What is going on and then then the clock hit 60 triple zeros and it was oh We won we're forward to it in first place.
- 58:14[SPEAKER_04]: So like yeah, I spent the day
- 58:18[SPEAKER_04]: way more down than I was up.
- 58:20[SPEAKER_04]: I was only up for about three seconds.
- 58:21[SPEAKER_04]: Now I've been up on cloud nine ever since.
- 58:24[SPEAKER_04]: I was hooting in holler in the car.
- 58:25[SPEAKER_04]: My kids were making fun of me, but my wife was making fun of me for 57 minutes or 59 minutes and 57 seconds before that.
- 58:34[SPEAKER_04]: Just like, oh, what am I watching?
- 58:37[SPEAKER_06]: And the other thing is, it's like we've been super positive about the defense's entire show.
- 58:41[SPEAKER_06]: Like we've been said anything negative about them.
- 58:44[SPEAKER_06]: They were amazing.
- 58:45[SPEAKER_06]: Carson, Swesinger was amazing.
- 58:47[SPEAKER_06]: Our defensive ends were amazing, man.
- 58:49[SPEAKER_06]: Like, look at E-Mac when he came in for Delpit.
- 58:52[SPEAKER_06]: Like, our safety isn't miss a beat.
- 58:54[SPEAKER_06]: You know, it's just our offense is not good.
- 58:57[SPEAKER_06]: And if you look at the offensive rankings, I don't know how you're gonna, you know, flower that up or make it better.
- 59:03[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, this is the fun of doing a live show like Victor Fries here says we're in first place for the first time and you've mentioned it maybe twice.
- 59:11[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you've the means you've tuned in for the last 10 minutes, dude, or maybe five.
- 59:14[SPEAKER_02]: Like we've been talking about how awesome it is to be in first place.
- 59:16[SPEAKER_02]: The point is we want to stay in first place.
- 59:20[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to just be here for a week or two and then get knocked out because all these offensive issues come to rules and we start losing games.
- 59:26[SPEAKER_02]: Like let's get this stuff fixed so we can continue winning, stay where we're at and really make a run at this thing this year.
- 59:33[SPEAKER_06]: Anybody who scores 13 points in a game will make some kind of changes not to score 13 points again.
- 59:40[SPEAKER_06]: You want to score more, you know, to beat other teams.
- 59:45[SPEAKER_04]: If let me pose a question.
- 59:47[SPEAKER_04]: If Judge King's is a healthy player next week, who would you give more carries to him or McLaughlin?
- 59:58[SPEAKER_02]: I've been wanting to get McLaughlin more involved.
- 1:00:00[SPEAKER_02]: I
- 1:00:01[SPEAKER_02]: I would give more carries to Judkins because he's going to be your more like pounded out ground, grinded out kind of running back kind of like we did with estimated day, but I'd be making sure McLaughlin has more than just like one or two carries.
- 1:00:12[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to be getting seven plus maybe ten carries.
- 1:00:17[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, especially if Judkins coming off this ankle injury, like, he's in back in McLaughlin has something to say.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, let's do it.
- 1:00:25[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, he was easily what Samson should have had should have been, but we just haven't seen him this year.
- 1:00:31[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think Blake we lost him.
- 1:00:34[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, we'll hear.
- 1:00:35[SPEAKER_02]: I'll play.
- 1:00:35[SPEAKER_02]: I got one more voicemail here as ones from Colton.
- 1:00:38[SPEAKER_02]: Kenny, I think you'll like this one.
- 1:00:39[SPEAKER_07]: It's podcast.
- 1:00:40[SPEAKER_07]: What's going on?
- 1:00:40[SPEAKER_07]: It's Colton coming to you live from the win column.
- 1:00:44[SPEAKER_07]: May not.
- 1:00:44[SPEAKER_07]: I'm so excited.
- 1:00:45[SPEAKER_07]: It was dirty.
- 1:00:47[SPEAKER_07]: It was not clean.
- 1:00:48[SPEAKER_07]: It was on Sanitary.
- 1:00:49[SPEAKER_07]: But we walked away with the W and we are now at first place of the AFC more.
- 1:00:54[SPEAKER_07]: I'm so excited, I'm headed down to Nashville this weekend, so many members of the dark practical one out there.
- 1:00:59[SPEAKER_07]: We get all the other day for a few nights of us being a first place in the MC North.
- 1:01:04[SPEAKER_07]: Doesn't get to happen often, so we're going to get to celebrate looking forward to this trip, looking forward to meeting all you guys there as well.
- 1:01:10[SPEAKER_07]: Boo dogs!
- 1:01:15[SPEAKER_06]: what that was, but hey man, that's all positive stuff.
- 1:01:19[SPEAKER_06]: Like, hey, we're like again, we're mentioning it a lot.
- 1:01:21[SPEAKER_06]: We're in first place, man, we're super happy about this.
- 1:01:24[SPEAKER_06]: And there was a lot of, there was positive stuff.
- 1:01:26[SPEAKER_06]: Like the Baltimore Ravens have a certain identity.
- 1:01:30[SPEAKER_06]: We stopped that, you know what I mean?
- 1:01:32[SPEAKER_06]: That was awesome.
- 1:01:33[SPEAKER_06]: The other thing is, is we're about playing winning defensive football.
- 1:01:38[SPEAKER_06]: That's awesome you know what I mean and last but not least the Sean Watson did pull it out again and he hit Jerry Judy, who has been much maligned in the last little bit he's actually slowly ramping up like, you know, that 33 yard pass was a big deal in that game, but the problem is is we're talking about specifics like you can't have just 133 classes.
- 1:02:00[SPEAKER_06]: let's get 300 yards of just passing offense man.
- 1:02:03[SPEAKER_06]: Let's do that.
- 1:02:05[SPEAKER_06]: Let's try for 400 yards of offense overall.
- 1:02:08[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
- 1:02:09[SPEAKER_02]: Something.
- 1:02:09[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 1:02:10[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we were obviously very down on Jerry Judy come like coming into the year.
- 1:02:15[SPEAKER_02]: Then for the first part of the season because he just wasn't being utilized.
- 1:02:19[SPEAKER_02]: He's not involved and there were questions like Will has attitude be able to hang in there with not being the go-to guy or anything like that.
- 1:02:26[SPEAKER_02]: But the more the Browns keep
- 1:02:28[SPEAKER_02]: I've definitely changed my stance on it.
- 1:02:30[SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't think the Brown should trade Jerry.
- 1:02:32[SPEAKER_02]: You'd have been saying that for a few weeks now.
- 1:02:34[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they can afford to do that because if you have an injury to Boston or KCR, you got a game where you're just not going to throw the ball to one of those guys for whatever reason.
- 1:02:42[SPEAKER_02]: You need a veteran in there, somebody who you can rely on to make some plays and Judas has been making those plays.
- 1:02:47[SPEAKER_02]: So I got to give him credit words to do and I think they should definitely hold on to him because this is a team that can seriously do some stuff this year.
- 1:02:55[SPEAKER_02]: If they, they just gotta get this stuff figured
- 1:02:59[SPEAKER_02]: But like we said, we got the Titans coming up.
- 1:03:01[SPEAKER_02]: We could be five and two.
- 1:03:02[SPEAKER_02]: We could get to a point in the season where we have enough wins that if these offensive issues cost us a winner too, it's not going to be the end of the season where in years past we're sitting there looking at the the standings going on.
- 1:03:13[SPEAKER_02]: My gosh, we need this team to lose.
- 1:03:15[SPEAKER_02]: We need that team to lose twice this week.
- 1:03:17[SPEAKER_02]: We need this team to be that team, but somehow tie.
- 1:03:19[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?
- 1:03:19[SPEAKER_02]: We won't hopefully have to be doing that mathematics this year when the playoff countdown race is, really heatin' up.
- 1:03:27[SPEAKER_06]: Well, to be this early in the season, then just have two division wins under your belt.
- 1:03:31[SPEAKER_06]: That's massive.
- 1:03:32[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
- 1:03:32[SPEAKER_06]: That's that's a massive thing to have right now.
- 1:03:35[SPEAKER_06]: And the Steelers and the Ravens don't suck, you know, and we beat them.
- 1:03:38[SPEAKER_06]: So that's good.
- 1:03:39[SPEAKER_06]: So it's on to the Steelers next, I believe.
- 1:03:42[SPEAKER_06]: It's divisional.
- 1:03:44[SPEAKER_06]: And we'll see what happens.
- 1:03:45[SPEAKER_06]: Who is Blake?
- 1:03:46[SPEAKER_06]: Is he here or not?
- 1:03:48[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like sure.
- 1:03:53[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
- 1:03:53[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it doesn't really mean we'll wrap it up.
- 1:03:55[SPEAKER_02]: We're running out after nine o'clock here and everyone would.
- 1:03:57[SPEAKER_02]: But thanks everybody tuning in tonight.
- 1:03:59[SPEAKER_02]: I mean huge win today for the Browns.
- 1:04:02[SPEAKER_02]: I mean I'm sorry that everybody shouldn't say everybody.
- 1:04:05[SPEAKER_02]: I think most people understand that it was not a pretty win.
- 1:04:09[SPEAKER_02]: It was not the type of win that you can sit back and feel really good about the overall state of your team.
- 1:04:15[SPEAKER_02]: Defenses awesome special teams.
- 1:04:17[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't even mention but like the punts today I sit this on Twitter the most exciting part of the first half for the punts and I wasn't being sarcastic like we were down and stuff inside the one I mean Special teams is so much better than last year defense is better than last year We just need the offense to be Medioker right now.
- 1:04:35[SPEAKER_02]: They're they're bottom.
- 1:04:36[SPEAKER_02]: They're bottom of the league.
- 1:04:37[SPEAKER_02]: They're terrible.
- 1:04:38[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but if they could you have improved a little bit?
- 1:04:41[SPEAKER_02]: I mean we're talking about a really good team here.
- 1:04:43[SPEAKER_02]: So
- 1:04:45[SPEAKER_02]: We need improvement.
- 1:04:46[SPEAKER_02]: We're excited about when we're foreign to first place in the AFC North for the first time.
- 1:04:49[SPEAKER_02]: What since 2014 is that right?
- 1:04:54[SPEAKER_02]: Can you hear me, Kenny?
- 1:04:56[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, man.
- 1:04:56[SPEAKER_06]: I can.
- 1:04:57[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 1:04:57[SPEAKER_06]: I guess that would be 2014 with Mike.
- 1:04:58[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
- 1:04:59[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 1:04:59[SPEAKER_06]: Mike Patton.
- 1:05:00[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
- 1:05:01[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh, that's crazy.
- 1:05:02[SPEAKER_06]: So, but yeah, hey, I'm super excited guys like Blake said him and I will be down with John and we're going to be down in tennis or in Nashville to have a good time and go check out the middle Tennessee Browns backers.
- 1:05:17[SPEAKER_06]: They're going to have a big party.
- 1:05:19[SPEAKER_06]: Saturday night, if you go to middle Tennessee Browns backers on Facebook, join find out all the stuff that they're going to do.
- 1:05:27[SPEAKER_06]: You got the Lakewood Browns backers.

- 1:05:30[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know how many seats Ronnie has left.
- 1:05:33[SPEAKER_06]: I think he might have zero but between the nats.
- 1:05:37[SPEAKER_06]: true fan travel.
- 1:05:38[SPEAKER_06]: I think I honestly think there's going to be like 10,000 plus fans at this game.
- 1:05:43[SPEAKER_06]: There is going to be a Cleveland invasion into Nashville.
- 1:05:47[SPEAKER_06]: Blake and I are going to be two of them.
- 1:05:49[SPEAKER_06]: I'm bringing the fam.
- 1:05:50[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to all have a blast.
- 1:05:51[SPEAKER_06]: So I will see you guys down there on Thursday.
- 1:05:54[SPEAKER_06]: I am looking forward to it.
- 1:05:55[SPEAKER_06]: I can't wait to get to that game.
- 1:05:57[SPEAKER_06]: Can't wait to see a new stadium.

- 1:06:55[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to write off any team, but it Titans did just get their first win today, but I do believe the Browns are better than the Colts.
- 1:07:01[SPEAKER_02]: So there is that.
