Coming to you live from the cross-country mortgage campus in Barrio, Ohio. This is Cleveland Brown Stanley, brought to you by Bally Bat, coming soon to Ohio on 850 ESPN Cleveland. Here are your hosts, bowl Bishop and Nathan Zagura.

0:29.0

All right, let's do a live on a first Friday miracle edition of the program, Mirley Bo, the great Z. How you living? Try it, try it. Good. You got it. Yeah, baby. I wasn't getting any feedback on those tabs up or down up or down now. So now we're in the mix. Now it's all there. It's all game week. Game week. We've got the voice on in like 15 minutes. Yes. So this is fantastic news to have the voice on.

0:59.0

Yes. When I walked in here today. Yeah. And I see the felt pens. Oh, baby. And I see the boards. There's a coding system. There are notes. Oh, yeah. It's all happening, brother. Hard to read, though, to be perfectly honest with you. It's too much. You got too much going on. There's too many kids. You get it? There's too many people. And I think that I realized like last year, this time I was so pumped because I was like, oh, my God. I'm doing a pretty season game. And I was so juice. And then this year, I'm like 180 people. And like, there's just that enough. I would need a board like the size of this desk.

1:29.0

To really have be able to see what I've written. So I've just kind of made little some information, but more kind of like little notes to myself of things that I already know in my brain that will make me bring that up at times. And then where I was able to get into like, see, you still have the back. That's where I can get all the good stuff on Mond and DTR. And you know, where I need a little bit more than the one line that the preseason affords you for a player. I'll get that in there. So it's good. That's good. Yeah, feeling good with it. Excited that we got a game.

1:59.0

Excited. We're going to have the voice on excited to be back in the booth with him, which I think is going to be awesome. So many people have been asking. And you know, he will, he'll hear straight from the the horses mouth and about 13 minutes or so. But we also hear about horses. You get it all content. You're going to get it all. So yeah, it's good. The felt pens are nice. I've noticed the coaches have a nice stash. And I think at this point, I'd be fronted enough of them that I'll be able to be like, you know, can you? Oh, they've got a nice. They have all these. We used to have these. No.

2:29.0

Not gone gone. Gunners. Yeah. Not anymore. Absolutely. Gunners. So we don't have those anymore. So it's very good to see those to see the felt tips with you. Have you seen a game played down there? Have you been to a game there? No. It was a high school game admittedly. But since they've done their renovations. I was at a high school game down there. And pretty great. I'm excited to watch a football game. I'm excited. Every seat's great. Small venue, obviously, right? What we're used to. Like very intimate. But, you know,

2:59.0

you're all on top of it. And you're going to get, you know, like, I mean, this isn't false hope. Like, you're going to get to see two young quarterbacks. One of which is going to have a chance to be the long term backup solution to Sean Watson here. And potentially could develop in this offense under something else in this organization. Perhaps an asset and a starter somewhere else down the road. That would be the objective, whether it be monitor DTR. And on the other side, like Zach Wilson is going to play. Yeah. Number two of papers draft. He started. I mean, he's, yeah.

3:29.0

Like we look at it. And yeah, from that standpoint, you're going to get, you're going to get Zach Wilson. You're going to get Tim Boyle, who, if people, Browns fans, remember Tim Boyle, TB 12, they called him was the starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions in a game. Those played here for synergy and some not great conditions that the Browns were able to come out on top. So you're going to get their two quarterbacks, who will play have both started games in the national football league. And maybe we'll see Chris Stuevler, the third year man.

3:59.0

Not a South Dakota later on, but Wilson started second overall pick. Boyle has started games as well in his fifth season in the league. And so. Their quarterbacks have more game experience in arts. This will be the first time. You know, Kellerman. I think it's thrown two passes for five yards or completed two passes for five yards and back in as a rookie season with Minnesota and some mop up duty. But this will be the most extensive action they've seen. And you're going to and neither one of them started a game. I would see DTR as a rookie. Now both played a ton in college. A ton. Yep. But.

4:29.0

That'll be interesting to see. And I think that's good for our defense or young guys because you're going to be playing guys that whether they have, you know, in the case of boils had to bounce around in the case of, you know, Zach Wilson, they said, okay, going into year three is the number two overall pick. Not good enough. We're going to bring in Rogers. These are guys who have played NFL defenses before and have had at least on some level some not come up success. Yeah. And I, you know, for me, preseason, whether we're in and or not, what I'm what I get excited about is show me the young guys.

4:59.0

Yeah, you know, what are the young guys look like? So from our vantage point, you get the two quarterbacks or talking about you to see Cedric Tillman who had a great catch yesterday in practice sensational catch down the sidelines. Yeah. So you're going to get those type of things that you can say, well, let's see how this looks. So that there's there's big value in that. And I think. From a fan perspective, there's big entertainment in that. Yeah. Well, I want to see to you get Dorian Thompson Robinson sometime in the second half. I'd like to see him with Felton in the backfield Cedric Tillman there in the huddle and you think about. He played with.

5:29.0

Richard Felton at UCLA. He went to high school with and played with Cedric Tillman. So that'll be some familiarity. I think that'll be fun for all three of them to get an opportunity to do that. Those are the kind of little stories that are that are fun about this game. I'm excited to see Luke Whiplier and Dewan Jones, the two Buckeye line men that the Browns drafted see what they can do and going back to Tillman and one of the things I was going through getting ready here. I knew that his dad had played in the NFL. Did you know who his dad played with in college? Oklahoma? No. Air McNair and Alcorn State.

5:59.0

I was catching passes from air McNair. Yeah, which is pretty cool. So yeah, this is going to be it. This is going to be a fun one. I think that there are plenty of guys on this Browns team that are really names, you know, that are fighting, you know, Anthony Schwartz. It's kind of now or never, right? And and right now, I'd say he's a long shot. But, you know, he goes out and torches everybody in these games. Maybe you rethink things. You know, David Bell. I don't think is in any type of jeopardy with his roster spot, per se being a third

6:29.0

rounder last year. But you want to see him go and look like the guy that was the big 10 receiver of the year. You know, I think it's a for Demetrick Felton and John Kelly. John Kelly's been on our

6:38.4

practice squad basically since 2020. Felton was six round pick in 21. Those two guys are trying to say, no, I can be that third running back. You don't need to go outside to get that third running back. And there's a running back on the on the Jats, who if they do sign Dalvin cook and surprising. That's taken a little bit longer. But that Michael Carter, the young man out of North Carolina,

6:59.0

is somebody who could be released. If they make that, they drafted a Bannaconda out of pit, who I think I like a lot. That guy's the stud. We'll see a lot of him in this game. But with breeze hall, zone of a night. And then if they have, you know, the

7:10.8

right now, they're going to cut a running back. And Michael Carter's a name that people think would maybe have a good chance to end up here with the Cleveland Brown. So he's somebody. He's nice. He was nice. He was nice at Carolina. He was on that team with Sam Hall. Yeah. And Javante. They were all.

7:24.0

Our guy before the injuries all happen. I know that I watched a lot of ACC. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. How your depth. I'm sure it's like you and the ACC me in the pack 12. That's why we set. We take our knowledge around the country. I was you're the big 10 guy. But yeah, sometimes you gotta just let people know. You know what? I like that pack. I liked it. I thought it was perfect. I was. I loved it. I thought it was. I'll tell you this. It is true. If there is a college. It's back 12. That's it. Sometimes we're on the road. And then

7:54.0

the hotels. That's only being signed at like 11 o'clock at night. You know what? You're not going to be able to watch anymore because it doesn't exist. Well, for now, it does. But not for much longer. The best they could do was what amounts to about a $20 million a year deal. Apple plus only with a subscription model. So your conference is over. That's the end of it. The guy board board meeting at the University of Arizona, which actually I didn't realize it's the board. The Arizona board oversees both Arizona and Arizona State. The quote coming out of that was, this is not a viable option.

8:24.0

For programs with options. So it sounds like both Arizona's could be big 12 bound quickly. You know, it. Look, the fact that matters. Arizona bear down. Zago. The start of my great. Zago at the original six pack and then to the pack 10 and then the pack 12. My affinity is spent many, many decades. Big 12 is a good place for them because the fact is it's a basketball school. Good whoops, man. And it'll be, you know, now you'll be them and be at Kansas and Baylor. Lots of Texas Tech Play for National Championship two years ago.

8:54.0

Yeah, you're going to get West Virginia. You're going to get some good hoops there. Yeah, that's going to be the hoops conference. That's what they're. Well, they're just trying to get me. They're the catch all. They they could. They might go upwards to 30 teams. And they're just going to say, we don't have any of the best, but we got everything else. I would. And tell me if I'm wrong, though. That would be the best basketball conference, wouldn't it? Oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. So that's just what they need to folk. That's what they are. But the football drives the bus. And they would be they would be well down the list on the on the football side of things. Unless you get those defections out.

9:24.0

The ACC that were rumored than all of a sudden, that doesn't make sense. So it's big 10 and 12. Yeah, I mean, third, the. The stuff coming out of it doesn't make sense because the money would have the month. Those people down like the guy with the Florida State Board of Trustees, who's making all these comments. Like he's talking as if he has a big 10 or SEC offer. Yeah. And if he doesn't, then it doesn't make sense because he has it would be so stupifying from a big 10 perspective. It would go.
