00:00 Other things I wanted to hit on real quick. I found this one since we're talking about the quarterback position
00:03 I found this sort of note interesting and in that second scrum
00:07 He was asked about how important it is to have or how valuable it could be to have a veteran
00:12 quarterback or a quarterback with experience behind the Sean Watson and
00:16 At no point the question did the name Dorian Thompson Robinson come up, but he sort of spun it into a yeah
00:22 You know that can matter but it's not the most
00:24 But you know, we're gonna kind of assess that situation and then he basically turned it into compliment
00:29 He's getting Darrell Dorian Thompson Robinson and talking about how they liked his progression throughout the season and they felt really good about it
00:35 Maybe it means nothing. It's early in the offseason. We're not a free agency yet
00:40 So maybe they still go out and sign somebody but I thought that was interesting
00:42 That he sort of spun a question that was just about generically
00:45 Veteran backup quarterbacks and he made it about how they feel about Dorian Thompson Robinson
00:51 You got to read between the lines with Kevin Sofansky
00:53 So I was trying to do my best there
00:55 It felt like something where he's trying to tell us maybe a little bit that they feel really good about Dorian Thompson Robinson that and that
01:01 he maybe will start the regular season as the or at least training camp as the primary backup quarterback and
01:08 Truthfully Spence we started our conversation talking about finances and how you have you know an owner willing to spend
01:15 Well when you have contracts the way the Browns do with your quarterback taking up a ton of your contract you're running back taking up
01:21 a huge contract
01:22 Like you have to be creative in one of those spaces. You got to be creative is you have to have a really cheap?
01:27 Backup quarterback, you know, it's truthfully unrealistic to think that you know
01:31 Obviously we loved what Joe Flacco did last year, but he's gonna command a certain dollar this year because of his success
01:37 So, you know if that is a high number, right?
01:40 I think everyone in Cleveland would love to have him back
01:42 But if that is a high number, you know, it's not something that the Browns can commit to and it's your two for Dorian
01:47 You know, this is this is a this is a time where he was truthfully drafted to be the Sean's backup
01:52 At least in the short term and you know, he's got a great opportunity to do so
01:56 So if you are correct and reading in between the lines of Kevin Stefanski there, you know
02:00 I think that that DTR is gonna get a really good opportunity to show you know that he is capable
