Welcome into the best podcast available. Training camp edition. This is episode number two of our training camp coverage. I'm Jason Gibbs alongside Nathan Zaguerr, our senior media broadcaster.

0:22.0

That's right. You did it. Did I do it right? Yeah, you actually did get it. I think you're trying to say correspondent. I roll up. I was keeping your tongue, but then you came with brackets. You actually nailed it. So, here we are. Listen, it's training camp. We're getting it ready for the season. And now you have correctly titled me, which again, I don't know what the title means, per se, but it's been the title for a long time. And so we'll go to big luminaries walking by the BPA right now. We're just walking by one of the owners of the clean browns. D has them walking by. This is what we're trying. This is it's big.

0:52.0

We're getting ready. We are getting ready. And getting closer to welcoming fans to training camp for the 2021 season. That happens on Friday. The pads come on Tuesday. We're here to recap the first two days, though, that fans were not able to see, but we were unable to take it in. More of an acclimation period. And really getting up to speed with how things are going to go. But Z, it's one of those.

1:21.0

To recap the last two days, it was very business-like. There was a little bit of joking around and a little fun, but there was definitely a serious tone to just getting in and as Coach Defansky said, getting the work done.

1:34.0

Yeah. And that's, look, I think when you have a locker room full of the names and the players at the Browns do, they look around. They know this team has the talent to do something special. And then you know, you've got the reigning coach of the year.

1:45.0

So you know, you have a coaching staff that's going to put you in a position to succeed. And so it's all about handling the business, the doing the work that needs to be put into make sure that come, you know, games that matter come September 12 against Kansas City. And even this team seeking. Yes, of course, we want to be ready for that. But really it's about building as this season goes on. And it is about getting this team ready to play meaningful football November, December, January and hopefully into February.

2:11.0

And so yeah, it has been business-like. That's how the mini camp was as well. And I think that this is a team that's very comfortable in its own skin. It understands what it needs to do to achieve the goals that it is set for itself. And I think we're seeing these kind of first two steps here in these first two days of training camp.

2:26.0

Very business-like, very efficient. And I think that's something fans are going to enjoy seeing how Kevin Stephansky runs his practice. It's just the efficiency of it all.

2:34.0

But yeah, this is an acclimation period. The highlights of these first two days are seven on sevens. So that's where we're at right now. In the 11 on 11s, it's very much a jog through. In fact, on the past plays in the 11 on 11, they're just pointing. Okay, I would have thrown it here. I would have thrown it. Not even throwing the football because people are really just jogging out there. It is a jog through.

2:52.0

So we've seen, I think if you take anything away from the first two days of campus, the Baker Mayfield is in command. He is in command of this offense. I think his media session.

3:01.0

Earlier today showed his how in command he is of just this offense. This team, the leadership, his maturity, his growth into his fourth season in the NFL.

3:12.0

And so I think for the Browns, that's obviously a huge thing. It's hard to really get a chance to see too much out of this defense other than you can see that their speed and talent everywhere on that defense. But Baker has been so sharp. He has looked so good.

3:26.0

And Jarvis, you know, as he talked about earlier in the week, his health, he's looked tremendous and they've hooked up for some big plays.

3:33.0

The speed of Anthony Schwartz is on display. I'd say the maturation, the development of Donovan people's Jones has been on display. And then there's Odell who looks better than anybody has any right to be looking coming off of an injury.

3:44.0

So recently and Baker said like no human recovers like this, but Odell does. He looks great. And they're being smart with it. You know, the first day everybody did work.

3:52.0

The second day, Odell, Chris Hubbard, Grant Delta, Joe Joe Nats and the four players coming off of real significant surgeries from the year before we're all kind of given that day off to really, you know, ease back into things and hopefully we'll see them out there again tomorrow when the fans are present.

4:07.0

We're making of Joe Joe Nats and he will join our Andrew Gribble in a BDA exclusive coming up in just a few minutes.

4:15.0

The young man from the Cleveland, from the Cleveland area down near Akron and working his way back from an injury last year trying to make it in that wide receiver room and some insight into that wide receiver room that's pretty talented to say the least and pretty competitive in terms of trying to make this team through that room.

4:35.0

Let's take a look at the offense. You mentioned Baker may feel in command and doing all the right things, but the wider receivers really doing a nice job from a route running standpoint.

4:48.0

You can tell guys have put in a lot of work in the off season, especially Donovan people's Jones for Mr. Schwartz.

4:56.0

I think it's it's on the job training and on the job learning, but overall that group along with the tight end group, you know, looking good and taking care of their business and doing what they need to do.

5:10.0

You can't even look when you're built on kind of the seven on sevens as kind of being the most competitive periods out there. It's going to feature pretty heavily the wide receivers and the tight ends and yeah Odell has looked excellent Jarvis has been as good as I've seen him here with the Browns because he's healthy and you can see the speed and the ease with which he's getting in and out of his breaks Hollywood is a consummate route runner. Now he missed day two rolled his ankle a little bit in day one and hopefully he'll be back out there soon.
