Hello, everyone.

Welcome to another edition of Inside the Birds.

It's Adam Kaplan and the great Andrew DeCechko.

Andrew, good to see again.

Adam, always good to be with you, my friend.

All right. So, first of all, before we get started, not only do you write. Adam, always good to be with you, my friend. All right. So, first

of all, before we get started, not only do you write for us at Inside thebirds.com, and you do the

Daily to Checo, which we all love, right? You're also a 975 fanatic. Continuing the tradition,

Jeff and I hosted a show for two years on the fanatic. Joe to Cameron and I before he went to

WIP 13 to 15. So speaking of the Fanatic, let people know when they can hear you or give them a ballpark idea. Well, they can hear me today from 2 to 6. I'll be on unfiltered with Bill Colorulo and Ricky Battalico. Nice. And then it kind of varies from there. that I have a, you know, every Tuesday and Friday I'm on within Tuesday, four to six, every Friday from two to six. Nice, nice, nice, nice. All right, so check Andrew out. So, Andrew, you and I and Jeff, we're at practices this week. And the first thing before we get into the depth of what we know, what we hear and what we think is going to happen, where we stand and what this thing could look like in the next three weeks, what do your thoughts and go to these joint practices?

And I feel like you just get more accomplished because you're able to dictate whether you want to work on red zone, whether you want to work on other situation or one-on-ones, and then the team drills in that controlled environment.

Yeah, in fact, talking to some of the coaches just coming off the field, like the Browns loved it because they don't, Flacco's not an athlete, at least not the guy he once was. He's got good mobility for a guy's 40, but Dylan Gabriel's mobile, but he's not a runner like Hertz. And they like going against Hertz, who obviously they know him. This is their third during practice. They've gone against

them before. They know the quarterback. But this is, as you mentioned, a great way to get another

look. So that was great. And then what I found interesting is if you compare Wednesday to Thursday,

and we're now today's Friday, so we're one day before the game, but it's interesting. Like Wednesday,

and we knew Wednesday would be a heavier practice because you're three days away compared to two days away from practice.

But what do you think of the way that Wednesdays and Thursday's practices were run compared

to drills and all that stuff? So Wednesday had the one-on-ones. It also had some special

teams drills, and it was a heavy 11-on-11, which I love.

But then you look at Thursday, and Thursday was exclusively 11-on-11 with a couple of special
