00:00They can say what they want.
00:01I don't think it's going to be very much better.
00:02There's something that, like, I understand that he's going into this.
00:06This is already a one-legged man in an ass-kicking competition, it seems.
00:10Like I said, they're thin.
00:12They do have some gold in their hills, but it's going to be a long year.
00:16And I think that we saw how long it's going to be.
00:18And maybe some people talk themselves into midweek by it being just one game.
00:22There ain't a chance in hell I'm ever picking the Browns again for the rest of this year.
00:26It just can't happen.
00:27Can't do it.
00:29Unless they completely change their operations in the way this is.
00:33Oh, I said the magic word.
00:34There's a magic word that Todd Munkin keeps saying.
00:36There's a phrase.
00:37There's something he keeps bringing up that it's starting to rub me the wrong way.
00:45And I want you guys to hear this because this was from the postgame,
00:48and I had to mark it down from the postgame yesterday.
00:51Here's head coach Todd Munkin, and notice what he says here.
00:53I'm not down.
00:55I'm disappointed.
00:56I mean, you're not going to get me down.
00:58I mean, I've waited a long time to be a head coach in this league, man.
01:00It's freaking awesome.
01:01And we're not where we want to be, and they better get us now.
01:05I mean, because, again, we've got a good young group, and we just didn't play well today.
01:09I like the guy, man, but you keep saying how long you waited to be a head coach and how
01:15it's awesome and how it's a dream come true.
01:17And I'm thinking, now you've got to do what's necessary to hold on to the job.
01:22You know, now you've got to do what's necessary.
01:23I'm not trying to be too nitpicky here, but you can't help but be nitpicky when you lose 34-10
01:28and you don't look good doing it.
01:29I mean, the seven points that you scored at the end was garbage time anyway.
01:33No one's going to give you credit for it.
01:34So, really, you're losing 34-3.
01:36But make it 34-10 because it still looks terrible.
01:38You look that bad offensively.
01:40You look that bad defensively.
01:42The whole team looks bad.
01:43And I get it, man.
01:44I know you've waited a long time to be a head coach.
01:46I don't need to keep hearing it.
01:48I need to know how you're going to make my football team better.
01:51That's what I need to hear.
01:52I got to take it away that there's going to eventually be a quarterback change that hopefully will make this
01:58whole thing more palatable.
01:59But I don't need to hear.
02:01I know it was your dream.
02:03I'm sure it's every football coach's dream to be an NFL head coach when they're working in the NFL.
02:07So, I don't disagree that this isn't a dream job for you.
02:12Because it's either, A, you're too focused on getting the job and then you're surprised you even got the job.
02:16Or just, B, you keep trying to talk yourself into how good of a job it is when you really
02:21don't think it's a very good job.
02:22Either way, it doesn't sound very great.
02:24I'm not trying to be nasty.
02:26There's other things to get into that are way more important than what he said yesterday.
02:30I get that.
02:31But I just keep hearing it.
02:33I'm like, man, you sound like the guy who won the contest at Akron.
02:36I've waited a long time to be a head coach in this league, man.
02:38It's freaking awesome.
02:39I get it.
02:40Maybe he could have used his help yesterday.
02:43Yeah, nobody cares.
02:45I mean, nobody cares.
02:46This was a great story that Todd got the job.
02:49But that stuff, that talk is for offseason.
02:53Even in a training camp, I don't really want to hear that anymore.
02:55And you're right.
02:56Now he has the job.
02:58Now, I didn't, while watching the game, my first thought wasn't how bad Todd Munkin was yesterday.
03:06I thought that, at the very least, somebody was mentioning participation trophies or whatever.
03:15I don't think anybody's doing that.
03:16It's the first game of the season.
03:18Kevin Stefanski's first game of his career was a disaster.
03:21In fact, very similar scores against the Ravens when he started back in 2020.
03:26He went on to make the playoffs and win coach of the year.
03:29This team, that's not happening.
03:30This team is nowhere near good enough.
03:32The roster is so young.
03:36Brand new offensive line.
03:37The quarter, one of the worst quarterback rooms in the NFL.
03:40I think most people outside of Cleveland believe that.
03:42And I think a lot of people here do, too.
03:45So, it's not a formula for success in this league to play that many young guys.
03:49And then lose Miles Garrett for the year.
03:51I'm not at it.
03:53And Jim Schwartz as well.
03:54I know.
03:54But I still think he took it.
03:56That doesn't help.
03:56So, he wasn't the first guy that I was thinking about.
03:58With that said, yeah, this is kind of sounding amateurish.
04:04You know, talking about how cool this is.
04:06Do you have a job?
04:07Into the season.
04:08Like, that's over.
04:09Fans don't want to hear that anymore.
04:09I want there to be an edge.
04:11I want there to be a chip on your shoulder going, I wasn't hired when I was 30.
04:14And I wasn't hired when I was 40.
04:16And I wasn't even hired when I was 50.
04:18And this is where I'm going to stick it to everybody.
04:20And I understand he can't make miracles here.
04:22You only got with what you have.
04:24But you can get him from point A to B if you just move point B.
04:27That's all I'm asking.
04:28But if I keep hearing in the postgame how much of a dream it is to be here.
04:32Like, I need somebody to get him going who needs to kick some ass.
04:36Because that's what we need.
04:37We know it's a dream.
04:38I know it's a dream of yours.
04:39I get that.
04:40But if you just sound like you're happy, again, it either sounds like you're just trying to put the best
04:44face on a bad situation for yourself personally.
04:46Or B, you're just not really ever cut out to be a member of the job.
04:50To be a person who's a head coach.
04:52And maybe that ends up being the case.
04:54But I need something better than, hey, I'm a head coach in the NFL.
04:57This is awesome.
04:58Yeah, man.
04:58We get it.
04:59We get it.
04:59We know you waited a long time.
05:02I got it.
05:03I know.
05:04I need – I don't need to hear it every time you go out there.
05:082-1-6-4-7-4-0-0-92.
05:11Brett and Chesterlin, you're first up on the fan.
05:12Hello, Brett.
05:14Hey, guys.
05:15How are you?
05:15Doing wonderful.
05:16Go ahead.
05:17Hey, the one thing that drives me nuts, you guys keep playing a clip when, you know, you're playing Todd
05:24Munkin and Kevin Stefanski and we've got to coach better.
05:28We've got to – but Munkin says at the end, get used to me saying this.
05:32So that means he already knows this team is – we're in for a long season.
05:38He says that right at the end of the – he says that right at the end of the clip.
05:42Get used to me telling you guys this.
05:44I mean, we're just – we're spinning our wheels.
05:51Well –
05:52You know, Brett, that's a little bit of artistic liberty.
05:54He did say that.
05:55He didn't say the whole montage at one time.
05:58No, he didn't.
05:59No.
05:59But that is fair.
06:00Brett, thank you for the call.
06:02Wade in Cleveland, you're next up on the fan.
06:03Hello, Wade.
06:05Hey, what's going on, Ken?
06:06Hi, Wade.
06:07Go ahead.
06:08Hey, look, first of all, I was going to say, man, about Deshaun Watson.
06:12He looked scared out there, okay?
06:14Because we all know that when these guys play – especially these guys that play
06:20viciously on defense, they trying to hit.
06:22But when they trying to hit him, they trying to hit him and hit him to hurt him.
06:27And he know this.
06:28You understand what I'm saying?
06:29Because keep in mind, you understand, there's still a lot of people still, you understand,
06:33don't like him.
06:34Okay?
06:34And we know why.
06:35Okay?
06:36One of the reasons why.
06:37And then, like I'm saying, I'm a Dead Hard Brown fan.
06:40I turned the game up at halftime.
06:42I swear, I watched the Guardians, okay?
06:45You understand what I'm saying?
06:46And then I didn't see Deshaun Watson make the touchdown until this morning.
06:53But I ain't see him none in the first half.
06:55They kept talking about Harry Fallon Jr.
06:58I'm with Joe Ryder.
06:59I don't know nothing about what this guy Todd Munkin is doing.
07:02He don't even know what the hell he's doing.
07:04But I'll tell you why they playing Deshaun Watson.
07:06Why?
07:06Because of the money.
07:08Because of the money.
07:09They know all this money in the game.
07:11This man ain't trying to let him sit on the damn sideline, man.
07:14You understand?
07:15And all this money.
07:16It's still a job at the end of the day.
07:17I'm glad somebody finally said it.
07:18All right.
07:19Wait.
07:19It's still a job at the end of the day.
07:20Hold on, Kim.
07:21One more thing.
07:21What?
07:22And see, I trust the guy, what's his name?
07:26The third string quarterback, Deshaun Watson, to be demoted to the third string.
07:30Let him hold that damn clipboard or the tablet, whatever they be holding.
07:34Oh, I totally agree.
07:35I totally agree.
07:36Yeah.
07:37And the reason is, the biggest reason is, Wade, is what you said at the beginning of the show.
07:41Or beginning of the call.
07:42He's afraid to play the position.
07:44Shador's not afraid to play the position.
07:45I don't think Taylor Green's afraid to play.
07:47Taylor Green is afraid to play the position.
07:48He is afraid.
07:50Dylan, I don't even think, is afraid.
07:51I just don't think he's that great.
07:53You are afraid to play the spot.
07:55I can't play you if you're afraid.
07:58How deep is the drop back on a shotgun?
08:02He's playing where Jabril Peppers is playing, trying to throw it.
08:05So, I would assume he did those things all throughout training camp.
08:10Maybe he did.
08:11Throughout the competition.
08:12Maybe he did in college.
08:13Maybe he did in the pros.
08:14Maybe we're being nitpicky.
08:15I don't know.
08:15He looks like he's terrified to play the position.
08:18In no way, he's disagreeing with me on that.
08:19Right.
08:20So, would Todd disagree with you on that?
08:23No.
08:25I imagine Todd would agree with you, right?
08:27He would agree that I'm right.
08:27He would say I'm right that he's afraid to play.
08:30Then why do you keep playing him?
