How confident are you that the Browns can win on Sunday?

0:00Hey, I arrived almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch group and Nana's with the group chat, and of course, still lining up tonight's playlist on my phone. All at once? Yep, story of my life. That's why I switched to D-Mobile. They have the fastest 5G network. Okay, multi-tasker. I see you. Honestly, I never imagined I could do all this at once.

1:25It's my yearly obligation to really just bird dog him to try and get me to say my name on air. Yeah, you're definitely never getting it now. Oh, not now that he's number two. Now that he's number two, you're just going to do it. I mean, there was an outside chance when it was like, you know, Brown's Raiders last year. I mean, I almost got it. And you know, like that, with the viewership, the window was about as tiny as the window ever gets. Like, there was a chance that existed. Now is the number two. You're just, you're never getting it. I almost got him to agree to let me on his podcast. And then he went away for the offseason. And then it just it. I thought you guys had hooked up about that. I thought he was saying that you could have like a hundred percent beyond the podcast. Oh, no, yeah, he did. And then then saying he's not following through. No, I mean, he went away for like, it was the offseason. There was no need to have me on. Right? So he's going to have you on once the season gets gone. I think the moment's been lost. But we will I will bird dog Ross in about 15 minutes. He's pretty down on this Brown's team. So we'll talk about that as well. But a little Gardo's news here. I chased a lot of back in the lineup for the first time.

2:28And I was at four games now. He's in the two spot. And this is everything's coming together with this lineup. The rotation shambles the bullpen. Your guess on any night is as good as mine. The lineup is coming together since the deadline because Nathaniel Low is your six hitter tonight in a world where it does. That was your cleanup. When like when Nathaniel who I can only describe as a professional ball player, right? Meet meets plumber. But that guy when that guy's your six hitter in Cleveland like three months ago, he would have been like your two hitter for the love of God. I'm it's slight hyperbole there, but good to see CDL back. It's nice to have CDL back. The lineup that just misses them. It's different without him in it. And Bessana heating up. Come on now. Bessana has been incredible. Seven for 14 over the last four games. He's at a home run and an RBI in multiple games. He's at least an RBI in an extra base. He had an every one of them like he started to ever since people on the station called him out. He has responded nicely. Well, it's not just that. There's a couple guardians accounts like either guys that follow him, you know, mind

3:31of league ball or guys that are just like guardian stands and that just don't like him. Didn't like him as number one pick. Didn't like him. I've mentioned Nick Kurtz. I've mentioned JJ Weatherhold. We've mentioned all these other guys in the success they've had. And every time they start dogging him because you know, guardians, guardians bloggers, guardians fans are very cautious about going too hard at some of the young guys. But what as soon as they creep up on him and like say he shouldn't been the number one pick, he flips the switch and all of a sudden he looks like a damn ball star again. Love every second. And we needed it right now. It's a good time for him to get hot. Now Ashley Bastock joined us in the previous segment. Great stuff from her. Here's her week one prediction for the Cleveland Browns. You know, I think I'm just going to go with my gut and I'm going to go with the Browns. I do think they have, you know, some competitive advantage and no one really knows what this defense is going to look like. How Mike Routenberg is going to call a defense. I think that's going to help them. I'm kind of relying on some Dishon Watson vintage performance against the Jaguar.

4:34He's trying to go eight and no against them for his career here. He's never lost. He's very familiar with Everbank field. So I think maybe this offense with the rookies too has a chance to surprise some people. So I am going to pick the Browns for right now. I'm going to say weird is scored 26 to 24. I am oddly confident in an offensive line. We haven't seen play together on regular season game. I don't even know who the hell the right guard's going to be. I'm oddly confident that they're going to be at least functional this Sunday. And I think this, I think the element of surprise is here. And I'm going to be really fascinated if the Browns pull out a close win as actually suggesting 26 to 24. I'm going to be really interested just to see what that does for people. Even if Dishon doesn't play a good game. Well, no, her arc though had Dishon being vintage Dishon. That I think is the wild card of wild cards. I just blacked that one out. Oh, okay. Yeah, because that was a curl base on that was vintage. We see a vintage Dishon Watson game. She meant vintage Cleveland.

5:35And the that one I think we can expect. It followed that did not happen in that interview. Who was the where you get that from actually where were you getting vintage Dishon from? You know what it was? Here's I'll tell you what I'll maximize. I'll tell you what happened. We saw, there's also the eclipse at practice today of basically Dishon Watson deep passes. Daniel O'Fooce had an article today about the deep threat and how everything needed to click for Dishon and throwing the ball deep. I brought my own numbers of the table in weeks past about the deep ball and the lack thereof for Dishon Watson. And so like there was a there was a stress and importance in today's practice on showcasing that Dishon's arm can still throw the ball 50 yards down the field. You saw him have a pass again. It's open air. It wasn't against anybody, but it happened to Jerry Judy. It happened to Isaiah Bond. The clips are out there on the internet. You can see him for yourself. Yeah. I wonder if Ashley got hung up a little bit too much in watching some of those clips today and watching the deep pass today. I mean, she's there a person not watching clips, but you know what I mean? Listen, this is this is something that will only bear fruit if we see it on Sunday.

6:35So I might be a little premature on this one. I think when it comes to Dishon throwing the ball down the field or certainly throwing the ball between the hash marks, I think it's mental. Like I felt the way that you Kobe reset. Like we've got the reset has a nice arm. He just never wanted to throw the ball down the field. He wasn't comfortable with it. Isn't that why this was smart? What Monkin did today though? What he did essentially is it's the NBA player watching it go through the hoop, right? Like sometimes you just have to connect. They put him up against air. They didn't have him throw against, against cornerbacks and him go up against Denza Ward. They have him throw the ball 50 yards down the field and say Jerry Judy catch the ball. Isaiah Bond catch the ball and of course they did. Well, that last one's a little, that first one's a little bit of a guess. They could have blown up Monkin. They could have blown up Monkin really quick. Dishon's like I can't even complain against air. What's going on? But they clearly he was able to connect again. I really think that was a, I don't know the inner workings in Berea obviously, but I do, I do have a good inclination. This was a confidence building exercise for Dishon Watson. I just think this worked.

7:35It's easy to nationally. I think the, I think the swing here from how the Browns look in a win on Sunday and how they look in a loss. Hey, all right. It's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes. That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just wrapped the video call uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at my watch goop and Nana's with the group chat.

Gone South has been a podcast about crime in the American South. But for our new season, we're widening the lens. Follow and listen to Gone South season 5, wherever you get your shows. I don't listen, we all do week, certainly every week has its overreactions. And certainly for the Browns, we do a lot of week one over reactions. I don't know, I don't know there's a bigger swing that can possibly be had for how I think you're going to see people flip flop onto Sean Watson in the Browns, like you wouldn't believe if they win 26 to 24. And I think Monday is going to be people saying, see, huh? See, and I don't, I'm not talking about Browns fans. I'm talking about media guys who right now are walking the line of, well, listen, I believe the Todd Monkett believes in to Sean Watson. I don't believe in to Sean Watson. You're the biggest Watson warriors out there. Just own it.

9:37Pull off the jersey. All right. Let's see in that number four, you cowards, but they're going to be there on Monday. And I think they're going to be people nationally that also do the same thing. Whereas if the Sean looks like a broken toy or gets benched or gets hurt in this game and the Browns lose, they're going to say, well, look at what Vegas did. Of course, this team was never going to win a game, which by the way, they should be in this game. If it's to Sean that sings them, I will be furious because they should be in this game. That team isn't that great and this team is being underrated. If it's not good, yeah, I'm happy for you. I mean, that's a clip. Keith, if you want to clip that, I think social media's will really like that one. That one. I'm giving you permission because that's what everyone needs around here. Right? Okay. Yeah. I clipped the one where Nick said people are going to react one way or another after a game. That's the one. Okay. The point was you did. There's a wide range of reaction to this. Right. Hold on. I know. You're telling me people are going to say they were right no matter what happens. Yeah. I'm going to say I'm going to be first on the moon on that one.

10:38Just grab breaking stuff you have there. Clip that. Send it to the Browns. I think they'll love it. Yeah, they might. Ross Tucker, Odyssey NFL insider in five minutes on 92-3. The fan.
