Is the surprise factor the best case for a Browns week one win?

0:00Quick hits coming up in about 20 minutes time. Nick and J.P. back with you. We do have Lindsey Rhodes coming up at 320 of Sumer Sports. Now a quick couple notes here. One, I checked in very quickly on the 92-3-the-fan YouTube chat. They're discussing how Dushan Watson can beat the speeding ticket. Suggest that the calibration on the the radar was off. Another one, I can't remember the other one, but arguing about pursuit angles, which I think the bigger pursuit angles are going to be a problem for Dushan or probably on Sunday against Jacksonville. Guys, it's like a couple hundred dollar ticket. Dushan could afford it. Yeah, he doesn't want to admit the guilt. Now, you know, no, at all. On this though, I mean, is he could be a good bet on Dushan? Stay with me for a second. Is Dushan betting on the idea that the judge will be more lenient after watching him play football? Now most would say most, no,

1:03no, no, most would say that's a bad bet because the judge will be pissed that Dushan Watson continues to suck. But Dushan's got so much utter belief in his skills and abilities. True. He's betting by the time he sees that judge. Dushan goes, oh, Dushan, yeah, you have the Browns at six and oh, of course I can let this two hundred dollar ticket go. So I think the bench trials expected to be on on September 23rd. Oh, we're coming up. That's two games. We're coming up then. That's enough time for him. QB rating of like 81 just surprises the hell out of everyone. And he ain't QB rating of like 81 is none great. Um, I think I think that I like this. I like the spin out of you. It's belief in himself. Also Emily suggesting it as your soul and guy north soul and guy come on now. And I'm a wadsworth guy. I need to mention wadsworth and soul and play tonight down the night. Yeah, because obviously what tomorrow is not a home game for solenoid is not. And I, and I, and I, Solan has a gigantic band like maybe the biggest marching band I've ever seen from North East Ohio. It's at least 300 people deep. They are awesome. They have a lot of fun. I clearly I have a bias towards

2:07the wadsworth marching band because I'm a kiddo. Um, if this is like the football game last year, well, the football game should be over relatively quickly. We should have that rolling clock hitting it about six minutes to go in the second quarter. Like I think it was last year. Yeah. But I think the marching bands are going to make this a fun one. That's my official stance on this one. Is that right? And I'd like to everybody playing tonight. Uh, and, and again, stay safe. I know about wadsworth footballs. They seem to always win. I know. And when I know what Solan football right now is not great. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, and I went to Woodridge where academic school. Solan high school. You know what? They're in it for the, the education side of things. Football is really a frivolous outcome. You know what I mean? Immaterial. I mean, many people call it the IV of the public high school. Many people have said it. Where's your focus? That's all I want to know. Yeah. You know, it worked for Jeff Passon, worked for Zach Meisel. We just, we push out elites. Honestly, they could be much better at football. They don't want to. That is part of it. You know, it's, it's again, it's this is the, this is the, the IV aspect of this all. It's like, if we put too much attention towards football, what are we really doing? Yeah. Yeah. Where

3:09what's going to happen? The academics dumb jocks. Yeah. Come on. Hey, we're going to lose an art. I can't you know what? As a person that's sending, I'm going to send both of his kids to Solan high school. I like that they put more money towards the education than instead of the football team. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good development. I actually, I appreciate that. That's a girl dad right there. I mean, you know, I spend that money. I'd run education in Akron. What you got for us? Hello. Hello. Hello. Why are you surprised? Very surprised. I didn't not know. It's a long day. No, just to sum up, instead of admitting, you know, maybe it's the global out of the subtle financial aid out of court. It's used to that. That's what he's good at. So that's all guys. Have a good one. No, I thank you. Yeah. I don't get the joke. You can you explain to me, JP? We made the joke yesterday. What part of you didn't know? Did you understand it when we made the joke yesterday? That's yesterday. What about today? He didn't ask for clarification yesterday. Yeah. I do like that. Did you get, did you get dumber in 24 hours? What happened? Yeah. That actually understood the joke. And now did you get, did you hit your head yesterday? Good. Good. Because if we have like a 51st eights thing, right, I've explained, I've explained to Sean Watson every day to you. Listen, they just

4:11recurring bit right, explain everything in the to Sean Watson trial. And that's that's my lifetime penance. Then I'll sign up for that. They do call me 10 second Tom, but not for that. Okay. Now Liam Cohen, the Jacksonville head coach, he talked about an area that he think maybe the browns have an advantage. You know, you're trying to do what you do best, right? Just because like, I have no idea what Rudy's gonna play defensively. Like I really don't have a clue. So, you know, you have an idea of some of the things that maybe they've they've done before in the past. You go back and look, but you know, they they have a little bit of, I don't want to say an upper hand, but they have our tape from last season. I don't have his tape from last season of his defense. Right? I've got an idea. We've got some thoughts. We've got some cut ups and all that. But so in game one, specifically, I think you would just have to really be ready to adjust. You're always a little bit, I don't want to say it at disadvantage because we're all very even in terms of going into week one. Like we don't, we could have wrinkles. Obviously, that they're not aware of that we didn't put on tape last year, but we're kind of going in a little bit more blind than maybe they are.

5:15I do notice that he speaks in quotation marks. I know. I did not think that. Rudy's defense. I thought he might be a little drunk at one point, but I didn't think quotation marks. I think that might be a qualification, a qualification to be a good head coach in the NFL. You just sound like a little bit drunk like that all time by the slight buzz like four or five beers. If you've coached with Shanahan and McVeigh, I just assumed you're naturally drunk because all those guys do sound a little bit tipsy. Yeah. Well, and some of them live very, very tipsy for a long time. Now, I, he didn't want to say that the Jags are disadvantage. I do think for this game, I think part of the advantage from the Browns is there so much new. I don't know that last for quarters, but I do think that's kind of being undersold here that it's a new defensive coordinator. The Browns have Jared verse instead of Miles Garrett, a brand new offensive line. You don't really know what Todd Munkins going to try and do week one. Like, I think the fact that he's bringing it up means that it obviously has gotten to him and it obviously matters. And from a game planning aspect, it just makes a hundred percent sense, Nick, that Liam Cohn would look at

6:19this and be like, wait, I don't know what to do. I is, is Munkin going to be the OC he was with Baltimore because I can argue that you take three years of his tape on that and you might as well throw it out the window because there's no quarterback close to Lamar Jackson. And there's especially no quarterback close to Lamar Jackson on this Browns team. And then Routenberg is just this complete mystery box of a defensive coordinator. Like I, I, you might just throw your hands up in the air. Yeah. I think the Munkin mystery box is what we're going to call it. I'm really excited about because I think he understands that that's an advantage that he has in this game. And I think, although the pieces are young, I think he's going to try and do some things like I expect Todd Munkin to be incredibly aggressive on Sunday. Because again, like the guy's entire mentality is I'm 60 and I don't know if I'm going to be able to get another coaching job after this. I got to make hey, while I possibly can now, Routenberg, that's the unknown that does scare me because as much as I think a lot of the talk about the Browns defensive regression has become you've talked

7:19or not you, but people have talked themselves into it. Yeah. It's less about, uh, can the players play and it's more as Mike Routenberg going to get out of the way and let him play? Yeah, I mean, and everyone we've talked to about Routenberg really does respect him and really does think highly of him, but he's just an unknown quantity. And so I, I, we, what should I mean though, if you're we are Cohen, how do you, how do you attempt to even game plan for the Browns knowing what we know, which is so much that we don't know is the reality there. I mean, let's, I'm expecting the Browns going to play a lot of man coverage. You can't, you can't look at the Sean Watson tape really because he hasn't played a game in 700 days and also it's not the Browns tape doesn't matter. Yeah, it's, so you got 19 games in the last year. Why should you? He's not going back into doing that. It's a hundred percent brand new offensive line. So good luck trying to scheme up anything from that direction. Juckins, maybe you can get something there with the run game, but again, I would think can't go line run game kind of goes hand in hand is what that is. Like I, two new ride receivers and I haven't even got it. The defensive side of the ball. Like I, I don't know what you do with this if you're Liam Cohen. I think the few educated guesses you can make are the Browns

8:22are going to be a heavy run team and that is a lot of quenchon, but some Dylan Samson, maybe little rocket Sanders, if you want to get crazy about it too. So this is the other side of that. Do you just just don't get too cute with it and make it obvious. If you are game planning against the Sean Watson in general, what's the plan? I'm going to make, I'm going to make the Sean Watson beat me. Yeah, I'm going to do everything I can to make the Sean Watson beat me and if the Sean Watson throws the ball 35 yards in the air and connects on a million deep passes, I'm going to keep letting them do it until he shows me that he 100% can do that and it's not a problem. The only flaw in that logic is Casey Concepcion can beat you. You know what I mean? Like a Jerry Judy, although we haven't seen it much in the last year, Jerry Judy can beat you. Harold Fanon is an explosive play kind of guy. Samson, Isaiah Bond. Like I do think that's like it's not a wrinkle, but one of the features of this Browns roster is there's a lot of speed and a lot of ability to do things with speed that if your plan is, well, let it makes sense by the way. Hey, let DeShon beat us while letting DeShon beat you might be Casey Concepcion going to the house

9:24because you're just sitting back and thinking, we'll just stop Quinch on Judkins and win the damn game. Yeah, I mean, I'm just taking what the obvious approach should be. That doesn't mean that Liam Cohen's going to do that. It doesn't mean that Jacksonville will do that. It's just trying to figure out like what do you really do when you're when you're game planning a game that is as blind as this one. If anyone wanted to believe in this Browns team in week one and you're a believer in this Browns team in week one, I think the unknown part of this has to be at the top of the list. Is the surprise factor the best case for a Browns week one win? We got quick hits coming up talking about last night's dog, but football game and some of the fallout from it in five minutes on 92 three, the fan.
