00:00NFL news and notes. And if you weren't paying attention, movers and shakers out here,
00:04Joe Flacco staying in the same state, just going to a different team here. How about this? He
00:09started a quarterback there with the Cleveland Browns. Now you're going to start for the
00:11Cincinnati Bengals. The one thing that's going to be interesting to watch is how much air time
00:16he's going to get. And what I mean is those wide receivers are going to be open, but how much time
00:20is he going to get the throw from the pocket to deliver the football to those said wide receivers?
00:25But also I'm telling you right now, quarterbacks like same way. If anybody's ever played football
00:30before and went through a regime change, whether it was your high school, your peewee football league,
00:35college football league, you never want to learn a new playbook. It's man, but we got all off season,
00:39April, May, June, July, and August to get ready for it. You know, it's tough to do. Step into a room
00:44and go, Hey man, you got three days to get ready to learn this playbook and all the intricacies that
00:49it has. Good luck and get out there. That's basically what Jake Brown was like, man, was I that bad coach
00:54that you're going to bring a guy in that's going to have to have one of those sleeves on his arm just
00:57to read the plays that wide receivers tell him what route to run at this point. Joe Flacco. He's
01:02your starter on Sunday. It's so good. Donna, you can count on one hand, the amount of quarterbacks
01:09on the planet that would be capable of showing up on Tuesday to a new team, five weeks into the season,
01:16and then starting the game on Sunday. And that's because Flacco has pretty much seen everything
01:23he has literally been a part of nearly every offensive and defensive concept in the league
01:29forever here. I mean, he's played over 200 games with six teams, right? Plus, don't forget,
01:36he already prepared for the Green Bay Packers two weeks ago when the Browns beat him and he was the
01:41quarterback. So the, the word is that it wasn't so much that Browning was Browning's accuracy and
01:48decision-making have fallen off a cliff. It's not that Chase and Higgins haven't been open.
01:54It's that he's thrown behind him. He's thrown to the wrong spots. So the only thing they're hoping
02:00is that Flacco will know, get the ball out of your hands and put it in the spot where the guys can
02:05catch the ball. That's the only thing he is about here is making sure that he throws it to the spot
02:12where Chase and Higgins can actually make the play and run with the ball. If he does that,
02:18they should be okay and be able to weather the storm for the time being.
