00:00good morning pop douglas good morning uh best in your mind best football film of all time
00:10because of course remember the titans came to mind when i heard that song but what what
00:14what would you say what would you say is the best ever
00:17uh can i say like somebody's like is it like is you saying like film as a movie wise or
00:28highlight yeah no no no not not not tape shime's watching a lot of tape uh best best movie best
00:36football themed movie of all time pop douglas uh man i don't know if y'all seen it gridiron game
00:46yeah i've seen that with the rock and uh exhibit yes that one yeah yeah that one good that one i
00:54yeah i love that movie i like that you're so locked in though on film you know yeah he just
00:59that's what he said pop i want to start by asking oh sorry go ahead no you got it i'm sorry uh i want
01:08to start by asking about last week the one-handed catch obviously drake knows that he he threw
01:13what what what he thought was going to be uncatchable but watching that happen what
01:18was going through your mind when you have that one hand extend to get that catch in
01:22ah man i was like man i gotta get this you know it was fourth down just you know gotta have it
01:30so when i you know i seen the ball like my eyes is like locked on the ball first down well uh
01:38bray will talk a little bit about that play because it looked like you had like a skinny slant on it
01:42because it was very quick and the timing element of it was it something that you were expecting him to
01:48throw a little bit early because it was fourth down and just like kind of getting on the same
01:53page it was a great catch but you know moving forward you want to try to make it as easy as
01:57possible yeah i'm gonna make it easy as possible for him but uh you know my route is to go across
02:03but you know uh situational like that it'll be smart you know to just turn quick get the ball get the
02:09first down uh yeah but you know me i try to get in that end zone i'm trying to put some points
02:15stuff but yeah but you know they help just turn quicker get the ball um for sure that was that was
02:23that win sunday four in a row for you guys um and of course you're uh you guys sit in first place in
02:31the division and there's a lot of hype about drake and he's in the mvp conversation out now i know
02:38that steph digg said that you guys are you're not drinking the kool-aid but how hard is it
02:44to avoid the the conversations that are going on about the potential down the road for this
02:52football team uh i mean it's it's for me i think it's easy to ignore the noise you know rather it's
02:59good or you're bad you know um because we gotta have that next play mentality there's the nfl it's
03:05not like college it's the nfl where no matter the record man it's things can change quick you know
03:12just of the team team one and something that doesn't matter i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna
03:19lie the nfl it's a trick it's crazy how how everything works pop one of the things to kind
03:25of piggyback off of greg's question a little bit is you know not drink the kool-aid but there has to
03:30come a point in time where you look and you go we got a good football team we're a good football team
03:36and we're gonna play with that confidence that swagger is that something i know it's like you
03:42don't want to drink the kool-aid but you gotta say hey we're pretty good no yeah facts you know
03:48i definitely believe in this team and we definitely gotta play with that swagger i'm loving you know
03:53the the team you know celebrating and you know um you know having fun out there i mean you can see
03:59us you know we having fun the sideline standing up man everybody's in tune and i'm i'm loving with
04:06this team you know is putting on tape and you know you're having fun pop what would you say
04:12is the biggest reason why drake may has been so successful this year as compared to last
04:18uh man i think he's getting more more confident you know um going out there playing with more
04:26swagger just going out there and staying poised you know uh first year he was getting the hang of
04:30it you know now it's like let me go out there and ball let me go out there and hoop and play out
04:34there and just let me go out there and just play and uh you're seeing it he's going out there having
04:39fun playing and he's letting it all out there man he's playing for you know the team on the on the
04:46name on the front and his name on the back for sure what is josh mcdaniels meant to the offense
04:51this season man uh he brings he brings that you know that that old school swagger man you know um
04:59he's been doing this for a while and you can tell he's been doing it for a while he sees it all
05:03you know what if we you know if he's a little thing you see something he sees it it'd be crazy but
05:10that's uh helping us you know with our details uh that that means a lot when you you know playing it
05:15playing in the league details matter and josh he hearts on it and i mean i feel like that's what
05:21makes us better as a player and a person just as a life too seem for a moment just a brief moment
05:28uh post game on sunday when coach got bumped that he got a little bit angry were you scared uh were
05:36you scared at any point that rabel was going to erupt during that ball that ball presentation
05:41you know uh after the game yes yes yes no no no no that was funny though man you know
05:50coach rabel is a character man uh his energy that that was funny i mean he was going to
05:56he was he was going to swing on somebody and whatever group he was going on he got it
06:02he's gonna have to wrestle everybody at that point pop rabel also talked to us about steph diggs
06:09in his leadership and how he is as a leader in this locker room can you just speak on what he's
06:14meant to the offense when it comes to not only his play on the field but especially for the younger
06:18guys yeah man uh he he brings the energy you know on the sidelines there's somebody you know uh
06:25through the hard times if something's not going right man he brings the energy lift everybody up
06:30uh he he's been he's definitely been a vocal leader that you know we need it a lot of a lot of us are
06:36example leaders uh show you by example type leaders but you know uh steph he's not afraid to
06:44you know say it with his chest and you know uh it doesn't matter who you're talking to he he's gonna
06:48say what he you know he feels and um i mean he's definitely been showing you know as younger guys the
06:55way you know of how to you know go out there ball and you know keep that energy and you know speak
07:01vocally you know see what you see and uh you know come to the coach and be like man i see this and
07:07uh stuff like that you know things like that that you know as young guys probably didn't want to say
07:11say just because we're young well you know you guys talk about staff and you talk about vrabel and
07:17you talk about josh mcdaniels but talk about my boy i was with him for three years in minnesota
07:23todd downing the wide receiver coach and what he's been a what he means to that room because
07:28i'll tell you what he was one of the best guys to be around when i had opportunity to play play with
07:33him play for him exactly what has he meant to that room that wide receiver room for everything you guys
07:39do man uh td is a you know he's great man uh i've i've done i've grew you know with td uh td
07:52he's he was uh you know he's been a head coach he's been uh uh oc he's been he's been everywhere
07:58man and it's good to have somebody like that in your room you know i've seen it all he he and then
08:04you know as a receiver you know he just uh left to be a quarterback he was just a quarterback coach
08:10so he he knows so we're running around he's like man a quarterback could see this and then we'd be like
08:16ah dang we didn't think like that you know and um i think that that helps man just the
08:22his perspective on things it it really helps because you know sometimes we don't see it like
08:27that and like uh td he off the field man he's there for us you know uh i would just went to the high
08:35school game with td and that that that means a lot you know just to you know uh hang with your
08:42coaching you know not just see him working you know not working with him and just knowing getting
08:46to know each other i feel like man that's that he reaches out you know and that's what you need
08:51as a coach who who who's there for you on and off the field didn't seem fair that drake may got the
08:57state police escort at the high school game and you guys didn't i was i was pissed off about that
09:02nobody knew we were coming nobody knew we were coming we just we we like we like a head in there
09:13hoodie on i'm i'm the same height as everybody else so shoot they they couldn't realize
09:20we were talking earlier about how awful the traffic is here i'm just curious a guy from st augustine
09:26florida who gets put in this hellhole of a city when it comes to driving around have you gotten used
09:32to driving around the city of boston and the mass holes that are around you
09:35uh yeah i had to i really had to change my car at first because the potholes i can't lie i had to
09:44i had a small car and i had like rims on it man that type was going flat almost every day
09:51so i don't know i don't know about the potholes and then at first i was making all the wrong turns
09:58the map was messing me up yeah i'm used to it now but at first it was tricky so what are you driving
10:06now pop uh i have a uh benz i have a suv benz though not a well coupe benz that's bigger

10:21profile pirelli's on that thing yeah no low profile no more yeah no no low profile anymore
10:27learn my lesson pop uh vrabel talked about moving forward and the browns defense could be the best
10:35that you guys have faced so far this season how has preparation been for that and what's the hardest
10:40part about this browns defense wait can you say that again mark uh it went out mike vrabel said that
10:48the browns defense that you guys have on deck is the hardest that you guys will face so far this
10:53season statistically play style wise how has prep been for that and what makes them so difficult
10:58um man they they're good man you know like i say despite their despite their uh their record
11:07despite their record man they're pretty good man uh watching them on film they fly around and um
11:13it's just probably one of the fastest defense that uh we play so far and um man i i like what
11:20they're doing defense so you know uh we got to come with it you know uh like i say with the record
11:25can't look at that record man uh these guys ready to play every you know they got a family to feed too
