Coming to you live from the cross-country mortgage campus in Barrio, Ohio. This is Cleveland Browns Daily on 850 ESPN Cleveland. Here are your hosts, bow bishop and Nathan Zagura.

All right, we are doing it live out here at Barriath, the CCMC bow bishop merely and the great Z. I want to say something out of the gate. I want to paint a picture for you.

So Friday night was watching the game and we got a lot to get into on that front. But there became a point where, you know, as is the case often with children, they want to go play the game.

And so I said to myself, well, here's the deal. They're young. They go back to school this week. Let's take advantage of this. They want you to come spin it around him a little bit. God knows I can do that in my sleep.

So I went out there and we, I mean, the balls I'm going to spike itself. So we go out there and we're spinning around. And I'm thinking of myself, I really need to keep paying attention to this preseason game. So I opened the Browns app and I hit lessons live and I listened to and I would say this, whether you were one of my great friends or not, I thought you and Jim were sensational. I mean it. I thought it was so natural. I thought it was so entertaining. You were always prepared as you always are. But the the balance of.

It just there was there was nothing I would change. It was such a clean Chris professional broadcast. You learned as you were listening. I found always know exactly what was going on in the game as I was listening.

And so not that I'm surprised that you'd be good at this. But sir, you are. Good job.

Good job, buddy. Well, first of all, thank you. But second of all, it's very easy when you're working with Jim Donovan, who is incredible. But don't undersell you. You were, you were sensational, buddy. You were, you had the right. If that's it. Look, he's established. He's the voice, the icon. Yeah. And you're stepping into big time shoes. Obviously, there's a lot in that. But at the same time, I, I thought your balance of of entertainment, informative. And you had it all. You crushed it. Thanks man. I really appreciate that.

And I'll keep working hard to keep getting better. And you know, it's, it's fun. It was just fun. And the thing I don't give as the biggest change would be now is how the game goes by so fast when you're up there because you're constantly doing something.

And so that was it was a lot of fun. And look, the game did not start as we wanted it to. I didn't sugarcoded either. I said I pretty much everything that could go wrong has gone wrong here.

To open the game for the Browns when, when Deshaun was on the field, you lose Nick Harris. You know, I got drops from Anthony Schwartz. A miss one misfire on the first play that had a chance to be a big one. And, you know, watching that back even, and I don't know what kind of latitude.

Schwartz has in that route. But if he just kind of veered up the field a little bit, he had all the room in the world. And Deshaun would have been able to just kind of loft it out there to him. So, again, didn't go well.

Deer and his fumbles. He never does that. So the start was not obviously what, you know, the Browns would have wanted to. But then as the game went on and it really turned in that second quarter. And you think yourself, okay, here's a Cleveland Browns team that doesn't have a first round pick.

It doesn't have a second round pick. Yeah. And yet our Ricky's went out there and drafted undrafted stole the show. I mean, Jerome Ford put on an absolute show. MJ, I believe we had that with, I believe we had a lot of this.

Yeah. Emerson DeAnthony Bell who Jake is trying to Jake Trotter is trying to take some ranges. I mean, I had that once ago back off. Um, but Isaiah Thomas to sex about Chris Odom.

The USFL defensive player of the year. We signed them within the last week. And he goes out there has a sack. And I thought he was around the quarterback every play he had.

You know, Dale and Baldwin who they had talked about. He goes out there and has a couple big catches for you. It was just it was fun to see some of these young guys and Perry on running around Alex right, running around blowing up some plays.

It just made you feel like man, even without a first round pick. We got a lot of talent in this draft. Yeah. I mean, I mean, let's do glasses have full stuff first. Sure. And then we'll acknowledge the glasses have empty, which is real too. Yeah. I mean, the glasses have full stuff like MJ Emerson. That's a dude.

That's a dude. The depth in our secondary is stunning. And by the way, Denzel Ward activated off the public today. So that's huge to get him back in the mix and get him feeling good about things.

Uh, Greg Newsom will be back eventually like the back seven on this team is terrifyingly good. Really is loaded. And it's by the way greedy looked great.

Friday night. AJ Green continues to play at a very high level for the Cleveland Browns. So this is a cornerback room that is legit five deep and even heard Miller who had the bad penalty. And he'd be the first to acknowledge that but then comes up with a great job peels off of his man in the front of the end zone to get in that throwing lane to the back.

The end zone gets an interception down in the red zone. You know, we had the Anthony Bell force in that fumble. You know, all three turnovers come out of that back seven.
