Trying to get this Jimenez -- down on realized I'm going inside is everybody's. To do their -- and president. That's an interest in -- to what the playbook -- I -- I -- officially got a new defensive coordinator this year -- and Matt Patricia. Has that terminology. Changed at all as a scheme change at all even though YouTube since you've. Moved on with would not let you have Patricia even though he was here last year. I mean. For the most part we have a lot of similar. Some of cause and and things like that -- I mean but I mean with with. Our coaches and it's. Our. What's different this year for you here so far. Suppose where you're going -- a year ago I was hit it big here last year the seven pixie look downfield just sort of differ where you stand on this team isn't. Leadership. I guess I'm I'm I'm in a row now where deathly accountability is the the biggest thing I just wanna. Tell myself and I can't -- to myself enough. And you know do my job and and and just leave it by example. We're talking about the beginning of the show with the patriots. You get to the point and are you guys are allowed to think this way but we -- perhaps get -- reporter we expect. Twelve for thirteen 314 into two with a lot of nitpicking. That goes on with fans out an additional one occasion and fifteen -- one. We view. Guess which is Super Bowl last year. And it was disappointing for a lot of fans and we still if I bring up Wes Welker in the catch. The phone lines light -- people still have some pretty fashion opinions about it. How long did it take you. To get over that loss and survival. Now first and foremost you know as you know -- grateful for the opportunity to panic and such magnitude I mean. A win this OpenId combat yet alone it's -- -- -- both some it was definitely home. A hard pill to swallow. Harboring laws I mean but hey. Firmly agree on the better team didn't do -- -- day Demi Moore plays in an -- -- -- -- -- again if you watch that game. I have it myself personally. Lost a foot and tied the game in it's entirely. That we can back once a few clips as as a team this far. And what what's that what's the lesson of watching those few clips what it what what has been the that was the pay off for watching just those. Two or three plays or whatever was. Just. -- learning learning experience I mean every game as it is American Express and and it was no different no the death a lot of plays out there and feel that a lot of us wish you know we get back and you know justice. May see them as hungry more hungry gone through this year. Watching ESPN right now and they have I think. 350 reporter's pregnant and I'm not just Akron and it's 24 -- jets he played against the vote twice.

It's phrase of enough you know as work is work ethic and passionate racing game. And he's he's definitely he's definite there SI mean we you know when we cross that -- you know or death beyond. Bogut down and you know focus and and and is stressing you know ponder and I doubt that's the motto right here. He had seven picks last year a lot of big plays. Do you feel like you can play in the slot anywhere they asked in the secondary do you feel more comfortable at a at a certain position left corner right corner. Where would -- coaches you know wanna put me I know it's not an especially seems you know blessed to. Have a bigger role each year and down I mean I'm I'm just you know. Comfortable. Most if not more -- get -- -- -- accomplish -- get out there so. You know deftly. Little boys who where the coaches you know gain fans on for -- Can you prepare for for all positions in the offseason me with this as you -- with this coaching staff you never know what they're gonna throw it to a kind of curve balls. So you can do you do you prepare for safety for a strong safety free safety corners. -- and everything they read I have given that's the funny thing you've that you wrote you play defensive end if you refuse to how many snaps of it you know. Believe austerity somehow to close the 44 cents as it turns out intent on those started in Indianapolis game. Com to DeVon has known him a lot of credit but not I I gotta I gotta rest QB then had to -- that one paid to an employee he never lets him. But.

All your -- I -- personal yeah. It's very and I mean it's one thing you know we've talked about head into this year as you know that he's -- -- always been -- -- time all the but you know. Rick originally -- but this year more so in the film room as -- that we have talked about. -- I was wondering -- if if you see fit the things I fell.

Nice to sit behind the valedictorian. In high school we sit out a move that was it has to sit behind I -- -- I did the little I think the court like -- -- -- the -- the -- it'll -- I had -- But he caught that way it was stupid brawl and -- What did you think of in in.

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.
