| 0:00.0 | That's right everybody buckle up. It's Tuesday. That means week two, Amy Trass. Great to be back with you on what the football thrilled to see you again. Thrilled to be here, Sue's. |
| 0:16.0 | Coming right into it right into the front door as I like to do. Rough night watching Nick Chubb on Monday night football. |
| 0:24.0 | It was so painful to watch his knee twist turn and absolutely go to pieces. |
| 0:29.0 | Painful to watch so painful that they didn't play the replay on television or in the stadium. They played at once. Everybody saw what happened. |
| 0:36.0 | They saw me if it's Patrick's home. It goes straight into his knee and fall apart so painful to watch, especially in that we know eight years ago. |
| 0:46.0 | We tore three ligaments in that exact same knee against Tennessee with Georgia. Amy, what is the team going to do? |
| 0:53.0 | Let's talk about beyond the fact that they've lost the soul, the emotional leader of the team and that is painful in itself. |
| 0:59.0 | But from your perspective, secret sauce wise, what are the Cleveland Browns going to do now? |
| 1:06.0 | I'm going to dive into that but first note that I appreciate that you mentioned how painful it is to watch that. |
| 1:12.0 | And of course, speaking to the emotional pain, Nick was going through the physical pain. |

| 1:32.0 | Does the team believe it has a window of opportunity to do well, to advance, to win its division, to go to the playoffs, to go deep in the playoffs? |
| 1:40.0 | How good does the team think it is? Because that in large part will dictate what the decision is. |
| 1:46.0 | Whether they will make a short term decision, a long term decision, play the short game, play the long game. |
| 1:52.0 | If the team is focused on winning this season, which most of us believe they are focused on, they can do one of several things. |
| 2:01.0 | Actually no Susie, they can do multiple things. |
| 2:04.0 | One, rely on other backs that are currently on the roster. |
| 2:08.0 | Two, look at available free agents, and three, look at players that are available to trade. |
| 2:14.0 | And I corrected myself because they don't have to pick one of those things. |
| 2:18.0 | It can be a combination. They can say, look, we're going to rely on what we have here, but we are also going to look to bring in additional help. |
| 2:26.0 | And how much they're willing to commit in terms of cap and cash depends on what I mentioned. |
