that the Browns, what did they traded up to get the number one
overall pick and
they know had no idea who they were going to take or something
like that. That does like something sounds like
something, the Browns would have done in past years. Here's
Cooper talking about the guy that the Browns traded a lot
and paid a lot to get
his new quarterback, DeShaun Watson.
I was extremely happy. The thing is,
there's a huge time difference. Like
I think when it happened here, correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't I don't know. Tom was I wasn't here, maybe it was like
2:00 or something and it was like 12 there. So I was kind of
sleep
and I woke up
just saw a whole bunch of text messages and stuff like that.
Guys were like, man, you lucky
son, my phone with teammates and I was like, what? And then
I checked social media, the news
and then I found out that information. So It was cool.
I was happy about it.
I was kind of weird. I'm thinking you lucky Australian.
There's a huge time difference. It was two hours. Always to
known wake up. What are you doing tomorrow Cooper? But
yeah, I mean, hey, it's great. He gets
to Shawn Watson. Now,
he goes from the Cowboys and Dak Prescott to the Browns and
DeShaun Watson. It did work out well for him. It definitely
did. I mean and and you go to a place where you know, like
you're going to be the number one guy. We're in the
other place. It was like
shifting towards CD lamb
as being the number one guy
so that it is It's a perfect match. The team needed him.
I think it's a perfect spot for him him and DeShaun Watson,
the Martin Cooper can play
and he can do it all if we've discussed before.
I mean, it's he's a guy that can be awesome. Like really
intricate detailed perfect routes. He's one of the best
route runners in the game and
he's rare that he has that and then the ability to take
a slant 70 yards to the house. There's just there's not a lot
of guys in the league that are like that. So it should be
an awesome fit with him to Sean Watson there.
Charles Robinson, real who made an observation on Twitter that
I noticed this morning and it got me to stop and think
when you consider what the receiver Market has become in
recent weeks are the Browns believing they got one of
the best deals ever to acquire that contract 20 million dollars.
Cooper was due to make this year and they've moved some of
the money around. But the
bottom line is the Cowboys wanted to get rid of a contract
that was paying Cooper 20, the Browns got him for a steal
because they took on that contracted time when
the Cowboys were going to cut him. Wonder if you in hindsight
the Cowboys are thinking.
We should have found a way to make that work.
If guys are getting up near 30 million a year at the top of
the market. We should have found a way to make it work for
one more year at 20. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure it wasn't easy
to just let him go.
I mean, you know, Michael Gallup, right coming off of
an injury. You got him. They lost cedrick Wilson and free agency
to wear but the Cowboys, I mean, as we discussed at
the time and just
a lot of issues with the salary cap. Up and they got a lot of
holes to fill in their team. To I know they were good last
year, but there's still some real issues there. So I think
it was just one where
they couldn't, they couldn't swallow it. They couldn't deal
with this right now, you know, then and I think that's why
they made the move but you're right. It's some deal. Now,
when the way you look at the current market. Wow, it's
a steal for the Browns as far as money is concerned,
you know, a year ago. They had obj and Jarvis Landry and
Austin, Hooper, and they've undergone major surgery on
their receiving Corps. Where do we Put their receiving Corps in
relation to others now that they've got
Amari Cooper. They're making the commitment at least
short-term to David and joke. Ooh, they
you know, they what do we think? Donovan people's Jones
is going to be the top option with Amari Cooper. You almost
wonder what else they've got up their sleeve. Do. There's no
way they could make a run at the bow Samuel because they
gave up
too much to get to Sean Watson, but you just wonder what else
they may have going on as they try to get the weapons around
DeShaun Watson.
That he needs. Ya know. I know I'm in there that you first few
rounds of the draft. I would think that could be
a possibility to add to the room, you know, Jarvis Landry still
sitting out there like we've talked about maybe did they
bring them back? I don't know.
Then of the room itself
in joke who has big-time talent
and I think is about to jump on the scene as one of the better
tight ends and all the football Donovan's, people's Jones,
Donovan people Jones and his bigger
more of a possession type receiver, but we saw he can
stretch a field a little bit and then they got, you know,
Schwartz who can really fly as well. So even as it stands
right now, you don't look at it and go. Oh, wow,
they're in deep trouble.
But you know,
you'd probably like them to add one more guy. They got you. Kim
Grant, right? That was nice. I think he'll fit really well,
Jitterbug, slot weapon type of guy. But yeah, I would think
they're looking for, at least one more guy to round out that
room there.
Schwartz in Cleveland. Got to be careful. You don't want
Schwartz teaching, anyone who lives on Cleveland Street. Any
bad words? The Schwartz be with you now, that's it. Yeah,
that's a different movie altogether. I know about
the same time frame, but remember one Ralphie, blamed it on
Schwartz
when he dropped the F-bomb when the lug nuts went flying and
Schwartz got the crap beat out of him by his mom. I don't
wait. I well. Yeah. Well, yeah courts. That was Schwartz. Got
ya Ralphie have this open his mouth and he finked on Schwartz
and you hear Schwartz at what I do when I do is Mom was beating
on for teaching Ralphie the F-word, even though he didn't,
he learned it from
his father, something that
Your child can relate to yes.
No, Dad. I can't lie to because I learned it on my father. Your
child cannot blame knowing the F-word on Schwartz or anyone
else in the neighborhood. I learned it from Dad.
You should hear my dad. What you should hear big fill with
little fill because little Phil, I do give them the green
light to swear a little bit around the house. So we could
be out in the driveway and
my dad's there and he misses a shot. He'll say, oh, you know,
Shi my dad about what, what goat I swear around me Philip
and then we'll go inside and five minutes later. We'll be
playing cards and Dad will get dealt
a bad hand and he'll lay out a
long show. Look at this, you know,
crappy hand. All right, right.
Yeah. That good
putter there.
