  • the Brown scored essentially on their first six possessions.

  • They went field goal and then five straight touchdown.

  • Think about that.

  • I don't care who the opposition is.

  • Field goal.

  • Five straight touchdowns on their first six possessions.

  • It was 15 months ago.

  • Jim Nance, Tony Romo, Tracy Wolfson.

  • Huge game.

  • The Browns breakout year.

  • They're in the house they're taking on the Tennessee Titans.

  • It was supposed to be the Browns coming out party.

  • And then the Titans just slapped him up and down the field.

  • 15 months later.

  • Revenge is the Browns.

  • And as Mike said, they are nine and three fellows.

  • What can you say about Kevin Stefanski?

  • What more can you say about this guy?

  • Nothing, really.

  • I mean, this was the I guess this is a signature win that we all kind of we're waiting for.

  • We're kind of waiting for, so to speak.

  • Um, you know, I actually picked Cleveland and win the division at the beginning of the year.

  • They're not gonna win the division, but they're certainly gonna backdoor into a wild card playoff spot here.

  • Um, and when you look at him, it's just something that Kevin Stefanski came with a plan, and his plan was to duplicate some of the same things that he did in Minnesota with Kirk Cousins.

  • And he's gotten Baker Mayfield to play within that system, and they're running the ball with Chub, so it allows them in the passing game to run, play action passes and be able to push the ball down the field off the play action pass.

  • It allows the receivers or have double moves.

  • Think about people Jones there he ran a double move off a small boot touchdown.

  • Eso as you start toe.

  • Look at what they want to do.

  • You start to say, Okay, this team has a recipe for to be able to be portable because they can run the ball there.

  • Weatherproof because there in Cleveland, so wherever they traveled to the weather will not be an issue.

  • And if it is, they can handle it because they got two studs of a back.

  • They got chub and they got Kareem Hunt and they got a quarterback that is protecting the football now.

  • So I think that this is this is a football team to watch out for, you know, Kobe said at the Paul Gasol one time you gotta put your big boy pants on.

  • And Cleveland put their big boy pants on yesterday, and it all started with Baker.

  • Mayfield.

  • We know Kevin Stefanski has done an incredible job with this team, changing the mantra of them.

  • Run first past second but Baker Mayfield four TDs in the first half.

  • And I said this, you know, preview in the game.

  • The Titans have the 28th worth past defense in the league, and whoever gets ahead in this game, you know that the Titans office isn't built just to come back because they're a run first offense as well.

  • I look, the ceiling that the Browns have is high, It's high, and I don't even feel like they came close to touching it yesterday.

  • I feel like they're still on the verge and I'll say this.

  • I know Pittsburgh is undefeated.

  • I think that Cleveland team can beat Pittsburgh.

  • I'm not sure they can beat Kansas City Chiefs, but I think that that Cleveland team we saw yesterday a Baker Mayfield plays at his potential.

  • He played like the number one pick.

  • I'm not saying he's consistently played in the number one pick.

  • I'm not saying They're gonna change up the offensive scheme of the team and the way they play.

  • They still will be a run first offense, but if he's able to give them breath, air spirit like that, that's a team with a high ceiling that could go far.

  • Well, they took care of the quiz, right?

  • The quiz they did, they took care of that.

  • Yesterday were Tennessee Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens.

  • Becomes the test because Baltimore Ravens have their number, regardless to what the Ravens look like.

  • The last couple times we saw playing against the division opponent and you beat him up second week of the season and you beat him up in the past, that's the test.

  • The test now is Baltimore.

  • He passed the quiz.

  • Now the test is Baltimore because the rest of the country is going, the entire country is going to be watching on a Monday night.

  • Derrick Henry, 15, carries only 60 yards, right.

  • He fumbled the ball for the first time in a year.

  • Uh, they put a lot of pressure on Ryan Tannehill.

  • Getting Myles Garrett back, I think, helps their defense out tremendously in this team and the run game is the run game.

  • You know what pieces they have between Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt Baker?

  • Mayfield just plays at a different level.

  • It seems.

  • I know we got to this argument about Are they better with O.

  • B.

  • J?

  • I do think that Baker Mayfield is better with O b J for now because I think less has became mawr for him.

  • I don't think he's tryingto squeeze the Balto O B J so much.

  • He's letting the game breathe now, eventually, if he gets O b J back in time.

  • I still think you'll talk about different Baker Mayfield.

  • But I think Baker Mayfield is trending in the right direction, and I like hearing him talk with confidence.

  • I want to see a guy like Baker Mayfield win.

  • It's easy when you're the first pick in the draft and you're not living up to expectations and everybody wants to take their shots at you.

  • He seemed like he believed in himself yesterday, and that's who that team can be.

  • You saw who they could be, which is scary.

  • It's a different expectation.

  • No, when you're the number one overall pick, it's just and and people put their expectations on you, Szubin of what they want you to be and not what you should be.

  • And I think the one thing that's great about what Kevin Stefanski has come can't come into Cleveland to do is change things around to get Baker Mayfield to play what he needs him to be and not what others think he should be.

  • Which is five receivers out, four receivers out, throwing the ball all over the lot, out of the shotgun every single time.

  • That's not the system that they want to run, and then when you look at it on defense, inside the ball, what they do offensively helps their defense.

  • It really does.

  • It allows those guys to play us at a certain tempo and at a certain level.

  • Now I'm not so quick to say that they could beat Pittsburgh and they're gonna take on Kansas City.

  • I'm not bullish on that because I'm a one game at a time type person and when O.

  • B.

  • J was in the lineup, they still you could tell that they was starting to kind of get and understanding of what they wanted to do on offense.

  • Now, all of a sudden, he's been missing for several weeks, the offenses clicking.

  • But I wouldn't dare say that the Cleveland Browns is better off without a dominant player on their team.

  • It's just doesn't make any sense.

  • One final reminders to fan ski actually was a finalist for the job that Freddie Kitchens got so initially.

  • The Browns got it wrong.

  • And then they finally righted.

  • They're wrong, and they got the right higher.

  • Freddie kitchens over Kevin Stefanski.

  • Freddie Kitchens never called a play a day in his life.
