Present continuous

all right, the Browns are looking for their first playoff appearance in 18 years.

To-infinitive

The easiest way to do that is with the win against the Big Bend Lis Steelers, although they can also clinch a playoff spot with a Colts loss.

The imperative

Who gets the credit if the Browns do make the playoffs?

Yeah, I mean, I think it's Stefanski in this situation.

The head coaches the newest thing to this equation, and he is.

Since he's been there, they've been a much better team.

So while we all know here that a lot of people deserve credit if they get in, The fact of the matter is Stefanski is probably playing and coaching for Coach of the year trophy.

If they get in and he's probably gonna get a ton of credit for getting the best out of Baker, Mayfield is gonna get a ton of credit for having them step up in a big moment if they win this game, even though the Steelers air benching their players is gonna be a lot of pressure on Baker Mayfield, and if they lose, people are probably gonna unfairly put it all on Baker Mayfield.

But if they win, there's no way that people aren't the day after Monday after they're not gonna be said, they're going to be celebrating Kevin Stefanski in addition to that team and the way that he's changed the culture and he's pushed them in the right direction.

He's, uh based it around a running attack, because that's the skills that they have.

And he's simplified it for Baker Mayfield to be able to play well.

And if Baker plays really well this weekend, people are still gonna say it's Stefanski who put him in that situation.

Not necessarily Baker stepping up in a big moment.

We are talking about the world that we live in, me and you right now.

They'll be talking about what people go say, Say Dom is going to say that Kevin Stefanski helped them win this game.

Because the other see this is what happened.

This is why, like Max is Stephen, They get to bring up old stuff all the time because they work together because the other day when you were talking, it was like, You know who Baker Mayfield is.

You don't need to see who Baker Mayfield is When we were having our Lamar conversation, what I do know is Baker Mayfield, at least through commercials, lives at the stadium.

Baker Mayfield Book Club meets at the stadium.

Baker Mayfield could put Baker Mayfield face on.

Not Baker Mayfield body on a hula commercial.

I ain't never seen Kevin Stefanski on like Gary Kubiak's body on a hula commercial.

If this team makes it to the playoffs, it's because Baker Mayfield became ah better football player.

He's the Baker Mayfield we saw in prime time against the Baltimore Ravens.

He's the Baker Mayfield we saw tear up tear up the Tennessee Titans.

Mayfield, who, without Odell Beckham Jr after he goes down with an A c l tear in the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals, has one of the greatest performance we have seen from him.

Up until that point, that made to say, OK, maybe this team is better without the Odell Beckham Jr.

And now what happened against the Jets last week?

Mayfield puts the ball on the ground three times, but they also don't rush for more than 30 yards.

Why, from Friday to Sunday hits you develop and understand that the run game needs to be a certain thing against the stack box in order to win.

When you're playing with practice squad wide receivers, you drive back over 50 times.

So this is gonna be about Baker Mayfield stepping up in a big moment.

There's different Cove it and Injury Reserve list that people are being put on because of the protocol.

So now Baker, Mayfield show us that you're that guy because if he doesn't right, if this team doesn't get in, we're not going to say, Well, Kevin Stefanski didn't coach well enough for this team to get in.

He got him to 10 games after Freddie Kitchens had them eating at the outhouse, not the penthouse.

So this is gonna be about Baker Mayfield how he shows up, how he plays.

If this team gets it to the playoffs, Yeah.

We agree that if they lose, people are gonna blame Breaker Mayfield and you and I, depending on the outcome of the game, I think you and I are smart enough to know that we can't decide who to blame today.

And part of the problem was Baker, Mayfield.

I understand the running attack wasn't what they wanted to be wanted to be, but that's what the Jets were expecting.

The Jets weren't surprised that they were going to try to run the ball because the Jets knew all their receivers air out.

You know what happens when teams load the box.

Baker didn't eat and I love baby with you as an actor.

I mean, those guys could catch you gotta eat, but anyway, his his commercials are phenomenal.

Just so we could get some new insurance commercials from him next year because he is great at that.

But you notice in those commercial you say living the stadium When he tried to get in, they act like they don't even know him.

So don't act like Maple owns Cleveland already.

When he got we tried to walk back in, they made him check all his his wallet and everything.

They act like they don't know who he was because he ain't killing.

If he was out there killing, you know what they would say?

Come right and go around the metal detector.

They make that man go through that metal detector.

The security at the stadium Don't trust them.

That's why Kevin Stephens he's gonna get the credit.

Baker Mayfield's greatest games this season where a couple of moments, I think the Tennessee Titans, you go back and look at that.

That game it is all about It's not about reading.

It's about them committing to stopping the run and him having play action, big opportunities.

Not all quarterbacks can hit that throw hit those throws, so I give him credit for that.

And then you think about the Ravens game, where they lost his biggest moments.

The Ravens, all their cornerbacks, were hurt and they were out there running zone coverages that I ain't seen them run since I was on the team.

I'm just saying, I'm saying what I saw happen and they still lost the game.
