The Browns are back at practice on Wednesday from the campus of UCLA and are turning the page to the Los Angeles Rams.

I'm Jake Valensic and welcome back to From the Podium.

Today on the show, we've got four players and head coach Defansky to give us their first look at the

Los Angeles Rams and before practice head coach Kevin Stafansky started the day and he gave

us his first thoughts on the LA RAM. Okay excited for the opportunity this week against

the Rams you know winners of two straight you know on the here, excited about the challenge in front of us.

So we're going to have a really good work week here.

Very thankful for UCLA being generous and gracious hosts that we can get our work done here today,

tomorrow and Friday. So very appreciative of that group. And that's what we're here to do.

We're here to work.

You know, looking at this game, it's a good football team. Obviously, Coach McVeigh does a great job with the team, does a great job with the offense. Stafford's playing at a very, very high level. I got to see him quite a bit in the NFC North, and I think he's playing better than he ever has in his career. I think he's just seeing it. He's physically so gifted just a great smart football player, really good players around him. They make life really hard with the things that they do on offense. Defensively, Coach Morris does a great job. You really have to be prepared for multiple looks, multiple fronts, multiple personnel groupings.

Good players throughout Aaron Donald up front is as good as anybody.

He's elite, really, and everything he does.

So a huge challenge.

And then special teams, they do a nice job.

Obviously, they have Lucas is their kicker who was with us back in the summertime.

So it's a good group, really top to bottom, well coached. So we're,

we have to have a great work week. We're going to wrap up here and going to walk inside.

You're going to have Jerry West speak to the team today, which is awesome. Obviously, you know,

personally just to meet him and shake his hand and, you know, a legend in the game,

not just as a player, but as a coach, as an executive. So thrilled that he's able and gracious enough to give some of his time to our team and spend some time with us. So that's what we'll do before we get out here to practice. And with that, I'll take any questions. Kevin, how are you dividing up for team quarterback rives today today? Yeah we'll work through that throughout the week Joe's the backup this week as Dorian get is progressing through the protocol. So the Dorian's still a

correct correct yes exactly yeah not know goes before you're ready to make it?
