00:00I think they're going to be competitive and so I define that as seven to eight wins I've locked in
00:05eight wins by the way because I have stones but like I'm really excited for this Browns season
00:12I have no confidence Deshaun is going to do anything that interests me and I'm probably
00:18going to be mad about Deshaun Watson's play uh two Mondays from now but overall I'm still very
00:26excited for this Jacksonville game and I'm excited to see all the parts about this Browns team that I
00:31think over the next couple years people are really going to start to like I'm excited but I think it's
00:36just because we do this every day and we've been waiting for games I I do wonder if I had
00:40a just
00:40a normal nine to five job how pumped up I would be for the 2026 season oh see I I
00:45think it's I do
00:47think I don't think this is just it's the 2026 season there are seasons that have been like that
00:51by the way where I've gone in being like once we get into week two I'm just I'm just probably
00:57gonna
00:57I'm gonna simmer down a bit uh I mean Shador being you know as the backup and every it's almost
01:04like
01:04a fun reserve you just tap into the fun reserve anytime you need to there's gonna be a jolt that
01:08happens when Shador gets named the starter I just think whoever starts the most amount of games this
01:13year through the course of 18 weeks I think they have enough around the quarterback to make it
01:20interesting and that's all you really need in the NFL if you're functional and you've got some
01:25playmakers I you don't have to score 30 points a game and I think that's where maybe some people
01:32are forgetting the Browns offense was so putrid last year how putrid was it it was unwatchable
01:38but like it was so I get that people are basing their expectations for that offense off of two things
01:45Deshaun Watson it's tough to have good expectations there and the second one is
01:50well they're they were unwatchable last year offensively they're going to be unwatchable
01:53this year I don't know that Todd Munkin's going to get you 27 points a game I think Todd Munkin's
01:59going to have this thing a little bit more fun because I think they've worked on the things
02:02that held you back offensively I think the motion's going to be back in this offense I think they're
02:08not going to have as many procedural penalties at least early you sure as hell shouldn't with the
02:12Sean Watson we last year there's got to be a ridiculous rate of offensive line penalties in
02:16particular and then Concepcion Fannin uh Denzel Boston I think Jerry Judy and like the secondary
02:23role as a wide receiver might do something interesting obviously can be fun when he's
02:27playing good football he can be a lot of fun two years ago Jerry Judy was a lot of fun
02:30to watch and
02:31I think people have overstated the concerns about the offensive line do I think there's a chance that
02:35you're right of course I think you're worried about it yeah I'm worried about I think but I think I
02:40think I think we've talked about the upside the downside of this team and the things we like and the
02:45things we don't like that I do think the offensive line has been something that's been overharped
02:49upon I I actually think they're going to come out I think they're going to be fine week one
02:54I think they've got a really great offensive line coach and I think the key to maintaining
02:59quality offensive line play will be I mean I think the hope I would have is that it's I'm not
03:03expecting anything week one it's five new guys on the line that's that's a lot I'm expecting fun
03:07functionality the hope would be by week six seven eight somewhere around there then we start to
03:12figure things out I guess I guess the hope I would have with the offensive line is it gets there
03:15I don't know halfway through the season I really don't have much expectations early I'm expecting
03:20functionality week one meaning there's gonna be a couple plays that I go oh you had three guys
03:26blocking on a screen and a couple of them whiffed but I'm also gonna have enough enough evidence
03:32that these guys are gonna be able to play and I think you I think by the time you get
03:36to week eight
03:37I expect them to be a very good offensive line I think that's probably their ceiling by the way
03:42I don't expect them to be a great good yes I I would put that as like the 13th or
03:4714th I think that
03:48would be exceptional if they got there I exceptional yeah if they if they got to 13th or 14th I
03:53think
03:53that'd be that would be very good for them I think that's incredibly doable I'm not holding out the
04:00same hope as you are like I honestly I do think health is part of why they were so dog
04:05butt last
04:05year uh but like I I just look at this and I go I'm I'm I can say this at
04:13uh 3 40 when we talked
04:14about the lack of buzz for Ohio State you know we're talking about it and I'm like I'm saying all
04:18these things that should be exciting to me and it's my my pulse isn't changing at all am I depressed
04:22now why am I why am I not excited I can't feel anything am I dead inside the answer is
04:27yes it's always
04:28the test I have for myself I'm like am I having fun watching this football game if the answer is
04:31no
04:31I might be depressed right now like I'm genuinely getting charged up about this and I am and it's
04:37funny I don't get I when it comes to like expectations whatever I don't really get like
04:43I don't really get like uh you know screw you about it I kind of am screw you about this
04:48like I'm
04:49worried I'm worried the Monday after the week one the Jacksonville game is going to hit you like a
04:53truck there's got to be a Monday after I just I'm trying to mentally prepare you for her if it
04:59goes
04:59the way that Nick Shook and all the NFL.com writers seem to think that it'll go every one of
05:04those
05:04they're getting a suck it tweet I don't think I don't think people like myself I don't think we're
05:08protecting our feelings or doing anything that way I think we've just kind of made peace with this and
05:12if anything great happens that's awesome let's let us be surprised by it but my expectations are not
05:17greatness against the the Jags in week one can I drop my perfect week one sure I give that to
05:22you
05:22yeah I mean I do that for you I'd love that yeah I'd like to do that does it include
05:26an Ohio State
05:27win against Texas or is that are we doing a different I meant a real week one I meant I
05:31meant NFL football NFL football the real stuff not the amateurs yeah they're pros now um but all
05:39right so perfect week one it's not gonna be a great start all right you have a couple oopsies this
05:44is your perfect week one this is perfect it still it still has some blemishes to it I'm about the
05:48story
05:48Jonathan I'm about the journey I'm not about the beginning okay all right okay
05:52like if Harry Potter started and he was just he was like had a really plush bedroom yeah and his
05:58his his his aunt and uncle loved him so he's like a nepo baby is Harry Potter a nepo baby
06:02yeah the
06:03the movie just wouldn't hit the same way I wish I knew Harry Potter to be able to clap back
06:07and be
06:07like that that wasn't that that one character I don't know enough about Harry Potter to do that
06:11I mean that was that was Dudley Dursley is that right yeah I would think Hogwarts would have a lot
06:16of rich people attending it right well rich witches yeah a lot of rich witches and warlocks of course
06:22I don't know if that's what was it a mixed bag of a socio-economic you're a wizard Harry yeah
06:26all
06:26right yeah uh sorry I just want to do that now it starts out not great now the defense is
06:32looking
06:32good okay okay the defense actually is looking good but we get a Deshaun pick six within that first
06:38quarter oh geez and then second quarter again it's only seven nothing Jacksonville and maybe ten
06:45nothing Jacksonville at this point you're probably already getting some tweets being like you
06:49goober why did why were you optimistic all offseason okay you fat so-and-so and I'll be like
06:55mom get off Twitter um and then we then we have a disastrous fumble from Deshaun okay but again
07:03the Browns defense holds firm field goal so now we're 13 to 3 going into half and Todd Munkin he's
07:10got
07:11like the quintessential movie head coach thing okay where he's nervous he's furious he's on the surface
07:18he looks calm and ready am I gonna scream at these guys or am I gonna and then he looks
07:22in the mirror
07:23and he goes Todd you've been waiting your whole life for this it's almost becomes like eight mile
07:27and and then he yeah yeah splashes a little bit of water on himself throws up the hoodie
07:32and walks into locker room and goes Deshaun sit your ass down Shador you're up kid yeah and then
07:40and then Shador throws up and then on his shirt like like Marshall Mathers he does he does actually
07:45actually it's actually Deshaun who throws up for no reason he just throws up um all over his shoes
07:51but then Jacksonville gets a ball back in the third quarter special teams touchdown and you're
07:59thinking to yourself they just switched it's now 20 to 3 and you know what happens little by little
08:05big throw by big throw yeah should that by should that uh-huh okay we get one tutty uh-oh
08:12is it 20 to 10
08:14oh oh did the defense just get a little fumble rooski did the defense just turn the ball over
08:20ball yeah ball yeah he's a straight and Quincy's like he's on it he Quincy's like I also see the
08:25ball
08:26we're seeing balls guys and then Shador gets a ball about half halfway up the field right 50 yard line
08:3349 yard line let's call it immediate Shadot now it's 20 to 17 who does the Shadot go to
08:38no that's a that's an Isaiah Bond touchdown if I've never heard of it no this is the one that
08:44gets him
08:44and Jerry Judy on the same page nice and then you know what Jerry Judy does they'll rest up yeah
08:50they'll rest up to Shador and Deshaun cries on the sideline and now openly weeping yeah openly weeping
08:56I thought that was gonna be us and you actually see the team psychologist talking with him the
09:00sports clinician talking with him like it's gonna be okay you still made a lot of money here
09:05and then so it's now 2017 now we're into the that six minutes left stall mate right what happens
09:11what happens Quincy on Judkins rattles off an 80 yard touchdown and the Browns pull ahead and win
09:19and Monday of that week I am just DX crotch chopping just everyone but you right would never do that
09:29to my my work boo sure but I'll tell you Ken and Anthony I don't know about the work boo
09:33thing
09:33what why why don't you like work boo well I just it just doesn't seem like something
09:39something you should be calling me why people have work wives work husbands well we're you know
09:45we're booze we're not we're not booze all right I just gave you a cinematic approach Jax can you
09:54agree the work boo thing is that's not listen we tried work that can't that can't stay we got
09:59we got to stop that one immediately right it works oh see oh come on yeah Jax come on come
10:06on you
10:07never had a work boo before first off no you love to boo I've only worked in sports radio so
10:13no I've
10:14not I've not ever had a work boo about how much you love to boo but I would never but
10:17you don't
10:17want to be a work boo no work boo sounds a little funny so you have little limitations is what
10:22I'm
10:22understanding for friends it sounds a little funny yeah what what kind of funny is it ironic funny
10:29is it uh is it uh quirky humor funny I mean Jax you hear it right when he call it
10:33when a dude
10:33calls another dude a work boo he is pro work boo can a dude call another dude work boo I
10:38don't think
10:38that's like it's in what world is that fine so much better than if you were calling like
10:42a woman that you work with your work boo yeah that would be I'd be in I'd be in HR
10:47that's where
10:47it's problematic yeah yeah we're a very progressive show here uh progressive station as it were you're
10:53not going to gaslight me into thinking that work boo is just an acceptable term from one guy to the
10:57other I'm going to start calling Jake with my work boo Jake and Jax are work boos what is going
11:03on
11:03in Jax here why why is Jax trying to get work boo it's that chair why is that chair why
11:08is he
11:08turning about that chair why am I battling I'm battling two versions of you right now I don't
11:13know I don't know what happened I'm talking to the devil on the shoulder and the angel on the
11:18shoulder what's going on they're both devils yeah uh so work boo I just gave you the the way so
11:25we
11:25get everything we want and then Monday the shookie monster oh he's getting a text oh if the browns
11:32you know he owes he owes the he owes us a phone call if the browns win with with Shador
11:38in a
11:38comeback situation and by the way didn't I do that a nice way I didn't have Deshaun getting injured
11:43I had him getting benched respectable wasn't that nicer I thought an injury would be insulting I don't
11:49want I don't want to wish an injury on anybody whether I'm done tired of watching Deshaun play or
11:53not so but even in the scenario your emotions are still played with for the first half of the game
11:58play with them okay all right sometimes you gotta feel sometimes you gotta feel something right
12:02that's football the whole point of football is that but the hard part I have within the the
12:09construct of some of our convos is that you are you're tugging at two things you you want you want
12:14you want Deshaun to obviously fail but then you also want the browns to showcase awesomeness and all
12:20this optimism and be great and they work in conflict with each other you have to have this type of
12:27scenario that you're dreaming up where he gets benched for Shador is the only way that you
12:31you have something actually work out I think someone's coming out of the work boo I think
12:36that's what this is proven a lot of tug talk there 216-474 stop it Jax he is Jax loves
12:46it
12:46he's like a hyena over there my goodness I mean my belly's shaking here's what it is he found the
12:51comedy
12:52and you calling me work boo in a way that he's like I'm gonna play the long game in this
12:56one this is
12:56gonna be good for you guys it's not gonna be good for us I think he agrees
13:02can people can you guys tweet Nick and just tell him work boo yeah not it yeah just tell him
13:08just
13:09let him know hashtag let him know and just reminder guys Jonathan Peterlin doesn't like
13:14work boo so if you had anything against Jonathan Peterlin maybe you should be pro work boo in this case
13:21let him know and absolutely look very amusing and he needs to maybe do this
13:21we have a new story here a new story that I'm talking about today here you
