yesterday, talking about
the DeShaun Watson suspension and the planet quarterback in his
absence, however, long that may be.
We have a plan certainly for practice, as we get closer to
the preseason, games will make some decisions as it relates to
that.
But my understanding is that he can play in the preseason games
as you can imagine. We're dealing with some uncertainties
and that's okay. That's, that's life for a football team often
times. So
we have a couple different
plans and then we're going to stick to it.
And again, until we have more information,
multiple different plants. See, he understands. And
I read his transcript yesterday,
he hadn't read the decision and I know he's otherwise working,
but it's very useful when you show up for a press conference
when you're going to be asked about the decision to be able
to say, truthfully. I
haven't read it,
not not a bad strategy
because you can't get asked a lot of specific questions of
all you said, and you can truthfully say I haven't read
it but I think he understands there's a chance six is going
to change and they're going to need to have a different plan
and
that's what
That. Yeah I know they were reportedly not interested in
Jimmy Garoppolo but if he's out for the full season Chris
I think the analysis changes. It's one thing to have to COBRA
set for six
is Jacoby percent. Your guy for 17. I don't know. And when he
says multiple plans, I can't help. But think do they have
multiple plans include acquiring someone else to play
quarterback? If the worst-case scenario for the Browns happens
and they don't have Watson at all this. Yeah I hear you.
I understand. I mean it is a
you know you look at Cleveland like we've talked about a lot.
The rosters phenomenal. I mean that's one of the better
rosters in the game. There's no doubt about that, but I do
believe them that they are going to continue to go
forward Jacoby per set. Jacoby per set
is definitely one of the best backups on football. I mean, in
the Chris Simms, top 40, he was you know definitely one of
the three top names that got left out of there. He's experienced.
He's been coached well,
you know. Get got to Play and Learn up in New England,
you know, got to play in. Indianapolis did some good
things there. Are you know, hurt his knee that year, and
that kind of threw him off, but it wasn't bad play. And then,
even in the last year in Miami,
so he's a guy that understands how to manage the game. He can
make a few throws. He can stand in the pocket. You see, he's
a big strong guy and I think Cleveland looks at it and just
goes way way. We got enough confusing things going on in
our organization. Let's just
stand Pat with the guys. We got we got a good team. We might
have to play a different style of football to a degree
compared to Watson a set, but I feel like Even though we said
the Garoppolo thing and that seems good, I feel like it's
going to cause more problems at the end of
the day there for a team that
you know, needs to
limit its problems and get back on just football and not all
these other outside issues.
But if you know, you're not going to have DeShaun Watson
for the full year,
I think, I think, I think that's the changer. That's
the changer that. In fact we're goes reach, 66 17? Yeah, I hear
ya. And and and also, I don't think the Browns want to be in
a position where they're hijacked by the 49ers. To give
up
dramatically more than what they got for Baker. Mayfield,
that's not a good look either. I think that's one of
the reasons why they've been putting out the idea, what they
don't want, Jimmy Garoppolo well. Yeah, maybe they get
lucky to extent, there's any good luck for
the Browns in this,
if they don't find out, they're going to be without Watson for
the full season. Until after Garoppolo is cut by the 49ers.
Then you just go sign garage, bad, that's right. And I think
that I'm not sure that I'm not sure it's going to line up that
we know. I don't know if it lines up that way, either, but,
you know, one, if you're Jimmy Garoppolo, yeah, we know, he'd
like his 25, But I don't think like, I don't think the Browns
are going to take that on. I mean, not not right now. No
way. So
after that. Okay wait that's not going to happen.
If you're Jimmy Garoppolo and why we're going down this road.
All right, so now where's a team that I could go and if
I do play I can be set up and have talent around me
to set myself up for the next year and being a starting
quarterback somewhere. That's where like if he's not traded
for the quarterback, the player I would then Cleveland's going
to be at the top of the list. Is there for those reasons go
man and I can get there I kind of is a similar
somewhat offense as far as
the West Coast offense and Shanahan
and he'll be able to play that running game. Not going to have
to throw it 40 times a game and carry a team that way. I mean
that that I would think would be on the top of his list. If
it comes to that,
