And unfortunately, 17 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 2: as it plays out, it produces a lot of frustration 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: and a lot of questions now about where this team 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: goes after losing thirty four to twelve. 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: Well, you're exactly right, Lance, comed up pretty darn well there. 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: I mean I think that the big deal is, like 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: you mentioned, a bunch of questions, you know, I mean, 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: what's the future of this football team, not just for 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 3: this season, but what's the future for the football team 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 3: for next year, the year after, you know, the short 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: term future of the football team. What about the coaches, 27 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: what about the head coach, Zach Taylor? What about assistant coaches? 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: Who's safe, who's not a lot of questions that need 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: to be answered and ironed out right now. 30 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 2: Boy, And what was really I think disappointing was going 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 2: into the buy. So much is made about the opportunity 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: to rest up, do you self, scout, you work on 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: some things, and yet you look yesterday, and I think 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: it's a fair question to say that was the performance 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: coming out of the bye. I think there was an 36 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 2: expectation there would be more from this team. 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: Agreed, you know, I think you make another valid point there. 38 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you have a long time to work on 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: things that have not gone well. And uh, you know 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: you players understand that. 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: Uh. 42 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: Everybody watches tape. The players watch tape, the coaches watch tape, 43 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 3: the organization members watch tape, the owner, the general manager, 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 3: everybody is looking at state tape and scourring the tape 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: and trying to figure out what is wrong. Where where 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 3: is it disjointed? Where's it where's the synapse? I mean, 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: it's it's just not the message isn't being carried through. 48 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: So you have all that time to work on it. 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: You feel pretty good about what you're doing. You feel 50 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: pretty good about playing against the Patriots, the Steelers, I 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: should say Patriots, the upcoming the Pittsburgh Steelers, who you 52 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 3: already had beaten, as you say, have a chance to go, 53 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: you know, two and oh against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: three and oh in the division, and all of it 55 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: goes up and smoke boy. 56 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: It's just one of those that classic Murphy's law. It's like, 57 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 2: if it's one thing, if it's not one thing, it's another. 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: On a day where the defense played better, certainly there 59 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: were still issues, but on the day they played better, 60 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: your offense only manages one touchdown. In reality, the offense 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: allowed two touchdowns with the pick six and then the 62 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: scoop and score off the fumble. It just that's the 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: way this thing has unfolded this year. 64 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and in the National Football League, when that dynamic 65 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: happens when you allow to unscripted, unconventional scores and you 66 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: only get one out of your offensive football team. Normally, 67 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: it doesn't end up well for you, and it didn't 68 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: in this case as well. 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: Let's get reaction immediately after the game. Here's Dave with 70 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: the coach Zach Taylor. 71 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: Tough today coming to Pittsburgh. You knew you were going 72 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: to be playing a really good football team, a sound 73 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: football team. Just didn't didn't work out. What do you 74 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: think with the biggest reasons that didn't win this football game? 75 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: Turner re battle. That's the number one starting point two 76 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: to nothing, two of them led to fourteen points. You're 77 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 4: rarely going to win in this league when you have 78 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 4: one for touchdown, two for touchdown is going to really 79 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: set you back, you know. So you an opportunity twenty 80 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 4: to twelve, you're in field goal range, worst case, you 81 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: feel like you're going to kick a field goal, and 82 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: then Joe's hit as he throws and pick six and 83 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: then turned around with a fumble you know, right away 84 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: on the next one for a touchdowns. So that's not 85 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: winning football. That's not what I was supposed to look like. 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: Credit to them for taking advantage of that running away 87 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: with it and again losing the turn of battitude. Nothing's 88 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: the best starting point there. 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: Is for that. Yeah, the final score really doesn't dictate 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: or show what the game was like. I mean, for 91 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: three quarters it was a battle. I mean a battle 92 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: where I was, you know, fighting for every inch, tooth 93 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: and nail, every inch of the football field. What were 94 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: you thinking? Did you feel like you were not in control, 95 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: but you feel like going to win this football game? 96 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely. We've been in a lot of these dog fights 97 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: and had opportunities right until the very last player to 98 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 4: win the game, So that's not unique. Being down eight 99 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: points felt like at halftime we were in a fine spot. 100 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: We're gonna get the ball start the half, came out, 101 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: scored points and just never never took control of the game. 102 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: There was not a point where we ever took control 103 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 4: of the game, and they did in the fourth quarter. 104 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 4: They took control of it. And that's that's the difference. 105 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 3: You hold it team to twenty eight third down conversion 106 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: I think it was like twenty eight points six percent 107 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: or something like that Pittsburgh Steelers on third down. Usually 108 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: that is in the winning column of a football game. 109 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 5: How rare? 110 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: Is it to hold a team to that kind of 111 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 3: a performance on third down and not win the game? 112 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, the plan was good. Again, it's it comes down 113 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 4: to that's great. We got to get a turnover. You know, 114 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: we've had several games now with no turnovers created, and 115 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: offensively we give him fourteen points. That's that's just there's 116 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 4: no chance you're gonna win that. 117 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean turnover third down? What about the running game? Offensively? 118 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: He Chase Brown ran the ball effectively before he ran hard. 119 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: I mean he always does. He gives every effort that 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 3: he has a total effort every snap that he runs 121 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: the football. Other than him, do you feel like the 122 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: running game was proficient enough? 123 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's right now, especially with small JL 124 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 4: he's the main running point. We're gonna give Taj and 125 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 4: Kendle reps. We got confidence in those guys, so I 126 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: thought we got way we needed. It's not always going 127 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 4: to be pretty when you're playing any team in the North. 128 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 4: To have some you feel really good about their effishing, 129 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 4: they're explosive, you're gonna have some that are no gains 130 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: or one game and you're just you're gonna have to 131 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 4: rally behind that because that's just when you're playing a 132 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: great front like they have, that's part of the part 133 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 4: of the process, and that doesn't catch a soff guard. 134 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: And we just got to handle the next down as 135 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 4: well as we can. 136 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: I bet when you were traveling to Pittsburgh and thinking 137 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 3: about this football game, Mason Rudolph wasn't a name that 138 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: was in the top of everybody's mind that he was 139 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 3: going to come and play in a football game. What 140 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: did you obviously study everybody, everybody scouting department, coach, everybody 141 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 3: studies everybody. What does Mason Rudolph do to help his 142 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: football team win? Oh, he's a veteran quarterback. He's he's 143 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: been in this building before. We played against last year 144 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: in Tennessee. You just got to managing their offense, you know, 145 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: and they were running the ball well, and he was 146 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: getting the ball in the perimeter. He was getting the 147 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: ball in some nakeds. They didn't try to put too 148 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: much on him, you know, in a windy, cold environment 149 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: where he's coming in the second half, and he did 150 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: a good job managing what they want him to do. 151 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: Everybody in the National Football League has at least two 152 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: so I mean, the season is not over. I mean, 153 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: there's plenty to play for. What do you do to 154 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: make sure that your your football team stays focused and 155 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: takes it one game at a time. 156 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, we go back to work and we keep fighting. 157 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 4: And that's that this locker room has been about, through 158 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: thick and thin, and so I trust that that's that's 159 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 4: the message they've received, that's the message they want to 160 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 4: receive and follow. I've got full trust that will do that. 161 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: We have to find a way to win a football game. 162 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: That's there's you can't run from that. These these losses 163 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: they take it out of you, you know they do. 164 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 6: They beat you up. 165 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: But in this profession, you got no choice or professionals, 166 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 4: we got to bounce back the next day, find a 167 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 4: way to have a great attitude, fix the things we 168 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: got to fix, and come back ready to fight and 169 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 4: go find a win. And that's exactly what we're going 170 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 4: to do. 171 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and Tigans are going to get a lot 172 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: of attention every time they play. 173 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 5: They're great. 174 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: I mean I think they're the best duo of the 175 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: best tandem in football any level of football. Pittsburgh Steelers 176 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: did a pretty good job. I mean, Jamar and t 177 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: they're going to make plays. They did make plays. But overall, 178 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: I think the Pittsburgh steel has handled things pretty well. 179 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: What did did they do anything difference coverage wise? 180 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: They just weren't going to give you any access. You know, 181 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 4: they were going to make sure that there was no 182 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 4: access there. A little bit different than the first time 183 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 4: we played them. Not to be expected. You didn't expect 184 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: the exact same plan when you played them again and again. 185 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: We just didn't. 186 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: We didn't find a way enough to get points on 187 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: the board early in the game when our defense was 188 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 4: getting some stops. 189 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 3: Coach, appreciate your time, as always New York Class Act 190 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: for joining us. I mean, I know this is not 191 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: a happy time for anybody, that's for sure. But I 192 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 3: know that this football team, like you said, you get 193 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: a bunch of winners, a bunch of professionals, a bunch 194 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: of guys are gonna give you every effort. We'll see 195 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: it up again next week.

We'll look on ahead to the Patriots, 205 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: says well. Coming up in our third hour, let's talk 206 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco. Twenty three of forty yesterday, one hundred and 207 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: ninety yards. He was sacked once, threw a touchdown, threw 208 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: a pick unfortunately a pick six quarterback rating of sixty 209 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: eight point six. Here's Joe Flacco after the game. 210 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 5: Go watch things and clean them up. But obviously, you 211 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 5: know your thoughts are going to be you know, are 212 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 5: going to be with you for a little bit, and 213 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 5: you gotta find a way to move on and watch 214 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 5: the film and see what it really was, and you know, 215 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 5: take care of it. Given where the division is, to say, 216 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 5: feel like huge opportunity potentially and really. 217 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 8: Gain some momentum out. 218 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 5: Listen to me, We're halfway through the season. Basically it's 219 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 5: a little bit more now, but it really is so 220 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 5: tough to look at it that way. I think it's 221 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 5: easy to get caught up in that stuff, but you 222 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 5: know it, I I really try to remove myself from 223 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 5: those situations and just go play football. And I think 224 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 5: if you do that, that's when you give yourself the 225 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 5: best chance to be in the best position you want. Obviously, 226 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 5: that's there lingering and you know, the opportunity and all 227 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 5: that stuff, but you got to try to avoid getting 228 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 5: caught up in those things are you're trying. 229 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 3: To manage the pain and the shoulder. How much worse 230 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 3: did he get after? 231 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: Now? 232 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 5: I mean, listen, that's football. He did a good job. 233 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 5: He buried me in the turf. But uh but I 234 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 5: felt good, you know, felt good all game. 235 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 6: Did they they changed much the way they attacked you? 236 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 5: Well, I think they made sure that. They probably did 237 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 5: it more. Just they probably had a couple of guys 238 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 5: on him more often than they did in the first game. 239 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 5: And you know, that's why they're a good football team. 240 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 8: Uh. 241 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 5: And we knew, we knew they were going to make 242 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 5: adjustments and come in here and play better than they 243 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 5: did the first time we played them, and we just 244 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 5: gotta we gotta match that. 245 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 6: Too. 246 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 8: Shady change what they did. 247 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 5: I listen, I think everything they did we kind of 248 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 5: had a plan for and and and could see that 249 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 5: you know, why they were doing it and the fact 250 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 5: that they were going to do it. You have to 251 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 5: ask them, I mean in terms of what they feel 252 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 5: like they can do, and and and you know, I 253 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 5: know those guys are good players. And anytime you get 254 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 5: your best players out there, you feel you feel like 255 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: you got a you know, a good thing going. 256 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 9: Do you feel like there was a miss in terms 257 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 9: of like when they lose their safety to you was 258 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 9: in a situation already do the secondary and whatever. 259 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 5: I just think I just think the way they were 260 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 5: playing that stuff mattered. Obviously it matters over the long haul. 261 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 5: But the way they were playing and trying to double 262 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 5: guys and doing those things and just trying to get 263 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 5: pressure with their front. I don't think it was one 264 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 5: of those things where you could, you know, start drawing 265 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 5: stuff up and take advantage of because guys were out. 266 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 5: I think they were still sticking to their plan and 267 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 5: doing what they were gonna do against us. 268 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 8: You made it so many, you made it so many 269 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 8: eight teams here when. 270 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 5: You that they might betting their ground and well no, 271 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 5: I mean, listen, did these games you know they're gonna 272 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 5: be battles And even though this looks like a lot, 273 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 5: it looks really bad. It's one of those typical games 274 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 5: that you come playing here and all of a sudden 275 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 5: it breaks loose and it goes the other way. But 276 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 5: this you felt it today. It was a hard, physical game. 277 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 5: They you knew they were gonna make it tough, tough 278 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 5: for it for us, and we just didn't come through 279 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 5: in those couple of little moments. You know, they got 280 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 5: to two touchdowns on defense and got everybody excited and 281 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 5: we're able to pin their ears back and do their thing. 282 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 5: And you know, that's what this game comes down to. 283 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 5: It's it's one or two plays that you can look 284 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 5: back on, and obviously there's more than that and just 285 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 5: the consistency of it, but there's always those plays, and 286 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 5: it comes down to just playing winning football and and 287 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 5: and kind of waiting for your opportunity and you know, 288 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 5: not letting and not letting yourself get too far out 289 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 5: ahead of yourself and trying to make things happen when 290 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 5: they're not going to. And I don't really think we 291 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 5: were doing that today, but we obviously you know, just 292 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 5: we weren't able to wait, wait, wait, wait and strike. 293 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 5: We we made mistakes and they capitalized. I don't think so. 294 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 5: I don't think so. And you know, I didn't pay 295 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 5: much attention to it during the game, but like it 296 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 5: was windy out there, you could tell pregame ball was 297 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 5: moving around. I don't think I've seen it like that before. 298 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 5: I don't think so. I, like I said, I don't. 299 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 5: I think during the game it really didn't end up playing, 300 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 5: you know, being a huge factor. 301 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: Yours defense. 302 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 5: But the team I thought they did a lot of 303 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 5: good things today. 304 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: You know. 305 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 5: It's just a shame in the way that you know, 306 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 5: we're kind of not meaging each other right now and 307 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 5: playing both sides as well as we can at the 308 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 5: same time. 309 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: So I know, you're out and. 310 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 8: You're on the sidelines, but the extent that you got 311 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 8: to see the defensive at all, your eyes different what 312 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 8: they were doing. 313 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 5: Well, that looked like they got you know, it looked 314 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 5: like they were pinning their ears back a little bit 315 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 5: more and playing with some confidence and playing with some speed, 316 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 5: so they were able to kind of you know, break 317 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 5: through the line a little bit and you know, get 318 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 5: in the backfield a little bit more, and I just 319 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 5: it just looked like they were playing faster. 320 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco talking about his performance and defeat yesterday and Dave, 321 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: I don't know that he would never acknowledge it, but 322 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: I wondered at times how much that shoulder was bothering him, 323 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: because he seemed to throw some kind of side arm 324 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: at times, and there weren't a lot of deep shots 325 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: down the field. Again, he's not gonna admit that, and 326 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: he took a shot on that sack as well. I 327 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: wonder how much the shoulder is bothering him at this point. 328 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to figure that it's, you know, some 329 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: sort of an issue. There's he has to be feeling something, 330 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 3: some sort of pain. I know, there's all kinds of 331 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: ways in today's football to alleviate that pain on game day, 332 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 3: and I'm sure he's probably taken advantage of some of that. 333 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, he his throwing mechanics didn't look the same. 334 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: It's throwing motion was was different. Like you said, a 335 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: lot of it a lot of it was flight, dropping 336 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: down and throwing sidearm, you know, And obviously I guess 337 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 3: that felt more comfortable to him and whatever the anatomy 338 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: or you know, uh uh, the the chart of the 339 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: human body. You know that that that you have to 340 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: you have to look at. I just think I think 341 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: that Joe Flacco could have done better throwing the football 342 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: if if healthy, obviously, but even without health, if the 343 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 3: Bengals had run the ball more consistently, I think Joe 344 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: Flacco might have been able to take advantage of intermediate 345 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: and deeper routes with play action passing game. And and well, 346 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers certainly took advantage of it. They ran 347 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: the ball well, uh twenty eight care of the football. 348 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: They they were they were consistent with that. They only 349 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: they threw up thirty one times. We're in at twenty eight. 350 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: That's that's pretty good balance for that offense. And the 351 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers did a pretty good job at the line 352 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 3: of scrimmens. Their offensive line I thought played a very 353 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: solid sound football game. 354 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: And David, the reality is Joe Flacco's forty years old. 355 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: He's been really good on a magical ride. Yeah, but again, 356 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: he's forty. It wouldn't be fair to say Joe Flacco's 357 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: got to throw for three hundred and fifty every week 358 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: or this offense is not gonna go anywhere. You just 359 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: can't put that on his shoulders. No, no pun intended 360 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: with an injured shoulder. You just can't do that to it. 361 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 3: No, you're right, it's you know, you've got You've got 362 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: other players that need to step up. Everybody needs to 363 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: support what Joe Flacco is doing. I thought the uh. 364 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: I thought the offensive line was okay for the Cincinnati Bengals. 365 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: I didn't think it was, you know, like a scintillating 366 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: effort that wow, look at this, I mean, this is 367 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame worthy. But I thought they played pretty well. 368 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: I do think that the Pittsburgh Steelers are better in 369 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: sid with their defensive tackles and the interior defensive lineman. 370 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 3: And I thought the Bengals struggled control on those guys 371 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 3: pretty well. Hang type more to get to including Jamar Chase. 372 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 3: He's Dave Lapham, I'm Lance, but callister. It's Bengals Line 373 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: of the Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW. 374 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 7: Continue on this Monday night. 375 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: Welcome back in Thanks for hanging out with us as 376 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: we talked Bengals football on Bengals Line the Bengals Radio 377 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: Network in seven hundred WLW lance butcallister Dave Lapham thirty 378 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: four to twelve losers to the Steelers yesterday. And the 379 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 2: other story coming out of that is Jamar Chase. Jamar 380 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: on the field, has three catches for thirty yards, got 381 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: into an incident with Jalen Ramsey in the fourth quarter 382 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: of that game, and today comes word because of a 383 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: spitting incident, will be suspended beginning next week. And David 384 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: was one of those, one of those afternoons of great frustration. 385 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: And anybody who knows Jalen Ramsey and this is not 386 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: to excuse, certainly Jamar's behavior, but Jayleen Ramsey is an 387 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: instigator and an irritator, and Jamar engaged and then took 388 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: it too far. And now he's gonna suffer the consequences 389 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: and the Bengals offense and this team is gonna suffer 390 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: the consequences. 391 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's the big thing is you know, Jamar. 392 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 3: Jamar is gonna be lighter in the pocketbook and have 393 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 3: less opportunity to put up numbers at the end of 394 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: the season in terms of catch his yards and touchdowns, 395 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 3: but it's opportunity for teammates to step up opportunity for 396 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 3: others to show that they're developing, that they're coming along, 397 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: that they're ready for more work, They're ready for more opportunity, 398 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 3: showing that to the head coach, the coordinator, the position coach, 399 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 3: and the quarterback. Most importantly, the quarterback. Chase Brown has 400 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 3: gotten quite a few targets and he's caught the football 401 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: very well. He's shown himself to be a viable target 402 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: coming out of the backfield, running good routes, securing the football, 403 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: tucking it away, making the first guy miss, and then 404 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: the other. Thing he's doing real well, obviously, is allowing 405 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: the players to be made by blitz pickup, sticking the 406 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 3: face right in the middle of a linebacker's chest and 407 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 3: getting it done. The tight end positions has been almost 408 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: not invisible, but hasn't really shown itself to be a 409 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 3: huge factor in any football game. Kasiki needs to get 410 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 3: healthy and be able to do what he does so 411 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: well on the football field. The tremendous receiver of the 412 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 3: football Noahfan had five receptions on six targets, Hudson Tanner 413 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: Hudson had three catches on three targets, and Yosi Vosh 414 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 3: step up. As you knows as a number three receiver. 415 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 3: With Jamar Chase out for a game, he could be 416 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 3: he's number two. I mean, he's a guy that needs 417 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: to show that. Okay, come on, guys, I'm ready. He's 418 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 3: had his issues dropping the football. He seems to have 419 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: gotten over that. Everybody has those from time to time 420 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: during the course of their careers and hopefully Yosi's done 421 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: with that for this season. So bottom line is, guys 422 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 3: are drafted out of college showing that the talents they 423 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 3: have and they're they're they're taken by a football team 424 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: for a specific role that the team had in mind 425 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: for them. Now you're going to live up to that 426 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 3: role and have an opportunity to maybe expand that role 427 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 3: show the team that you're capable of more. And if 428 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: you're Jamar, you just can't. The track record is clear 429 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 3: with Jaylen Ramsey. You know what he is, you know 430 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 3: what he's going to try to do. And if you're 431 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: a veteran like Jamar and you're a captain like Jamar. 432 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: You just can't engage. You can't let him get under 433 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 2: the skin and take it to the extent he did, 434 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: because you cost yourself and you cost your team. And 435 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: that's not that's what. That's never what Jamar Chase has 436 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: been about. He's always been about team. That's the disappointing thing. Yeah, 437 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is a team player. You're right about that, Lance, 438 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 2: I mean, and it's not lip service, you know. I mean, 439 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: he's sincere. He's sincere about it. Nobody probably feels worse 440 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: about it than than Jamar Chase. You know, you know 441 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: some guys, uh, you know, I asked, he deserved it. 442 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 2: I'm glad I did it. That's not Jamar. Jamar is 443 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 2: not that type of types of an individual because the 444 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 2: like like just said, the team's the one that's paying 445 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: the consequences. Let's get reaction immediately after the game to 446 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: what transpired. Here's Jamar meeting with the media. What happened 447 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: to jail. 448 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 10: Exchanging words?

They had guys that couldn't 536 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 3: play in the football game because of injury. That it's 537 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 3: not a long term situation. I don't think for anybody 538 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 3: on the football team. Uh So that that part of 539 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: it even though there are three and seven football team. 540 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: It's not necessarily related to injury. It's related to, uh, 541 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 3: playing better, I mean a better performance on a week 542 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: two week basis, being more consistent.

I mean, yeah, 552 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: for sure, definitely. 553 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 12: I mean everyone said the back on said, definitely a 554 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 12: thing we work on for we've been we've been saying 555 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 12: we could work on. By the end of the day, 556 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 12: I think we held it down in the rezone today 557 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 12: when we had the opportunities on there, Captain Tobel, So 558 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 12: I think we did a better job today doing that. 559 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: Did you think the chunk plays where really would hurt 560 00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: you overall at. 561 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 12: A certain point, Yeah, And then it comes down to, 562 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 12: you know, certain situations of you know, people are ill 563 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 12: spot and that's that's what it came down to. But 564 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 12: I think overall I played we played better. I would 565 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 12: say that we played better. I mean, definitely got work 566 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 12: on a tackles though my self included, but we definitely 567 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 12: play better. 568 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 6: Can you describe trying to tackle Washington? I mean a 569 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 6: three hundred pound tight end that gets ahead of steam 570 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 6: with that stiff arm. It seems like a difficult task. 571 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. 572 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 12: No, I mean my my first one, I tried to 573 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 12: get him out of bounce. I thought I was gonna 574 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 12: get my bounce on the heel on the tracks. 575 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: Uh. 576 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 12: The next one got knocked. If I'm down and gone down, 577 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 12: I mean, it's really that end of the day. It's 578 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 12: got to get him down. But the first one, I 579 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 12: think that's gotta I mean, I's gotta do better. 580 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 6: Rest all, this feels like on third and long they 581 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 6: threw short a lot, counting on yards after the catch, 582 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 6: and unfortunately it worked too many times. 583 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean in the second and second half. We 584 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 12: made an adjustment after the first half, but you know, 585 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 12: we we had them an opportunity to second half, so 586 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 12: really didn't do that. 587 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: And then the one, the one we did. It wasn't 588 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: the same call we were in before. 589 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 12: So you know, at the end of the day, we 590 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 12: just gotta, you know, execute the call and everyone got 591 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 12: a rally to the ball. 592 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 6: They scored twenty points to offense. What were the positives 593 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 6: from your view for the defense? 594 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 12: I feel like when we stopped to run better. Uh 595 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 12: it wasn't many big drum plays. They had a few, 596 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 12: I'll say that, but uh, it wasn't like nothing like 597 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 12: last two weeks. 598 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 3: I said that for sure. 599 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 12: I think it was we took a positive step, and uh, 600 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 12: I felt we gotta get get better. We still got 601 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 12: a lot of more games left, and uh, there's no 602 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 12: quickn this team. 603 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: So I know we're we're better right now. 604 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 6: It takes to keep going, you see, to keep drive 605 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 6: was the first drive the second half proved Office out. 606 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 9: There instead of Rogers and they don't get him. 607 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 6: On the field. 608 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean I just feel like I'm 609 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 12: I I mean think we we we adjusted after the 610 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 12: first the first the first drive of the whole game. 611 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 12: I felt we had to just adjusted after that. But 612 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 12: you know, we know when Mason came in, there's gonna 613 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 12: be a different type of style. They were gonna limit 614 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 12: limit it a little more, uh with him in there, 615 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 12: and try not to put too much on his plate. 616 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 12: But you know, I feel like we, like we said, uh, 617 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 12: we only have limited action in the second half, so 618 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 12: you know at the end of the day when when 619 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 12: when we get down there, then too we. 620 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 3: Gotta stop him. So we came out of score big 621 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: understand not only. 622 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 12: That, Yeah, definitely, I mean we knew it was a stake. 623 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 12: We knew, uh, what we have in front of us. 624 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 12: So you know, at the end of the day, like 625 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 12: I said, we gotta getett ready to get better. And uh, 626 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 12: there's no Quinn's team. You know, last year we ran 627 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 12: off with a lot of wins, so she's gotta keep 628 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 12: the same mindset and get ready to do it again. 629 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 13: I'm frustrated gainst the mistackles just kind of continues. 630 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 5: To be the common theme here every week. 631 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 6: It just seems like just guys can't kind of get 632 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 6: that corrected at this point. 633 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's definitely a thing. 634 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 12: By the end of the day, I feel like, I mean, 635 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 12: it's really no bit scores off it.

It's how defense would 642 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 12: be played. Should be one on one tackles. But when 643 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 12: this one on one tackles, gotta make your plays. I'll 644 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 12: say that for sure. 645 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 5: Seems like steel little football. 646 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 3: You know what it's all in, But you grew up 647 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 3: watching it. 648 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 5: If they get, if they need it, they get, if they. 649 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 3: Start getting there and they get and it seems like. 650 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 12: They always out tackle when I was yeah, I mean 651 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 12: I feel like I mean I being in THEFS North 652 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 12: for a while, kind of all these games when you 653 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 12: come to Pittsburgh kind of play out the same way. 654 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 12: They're gonna rely on their defense and let their offense 655 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 12: run the ball and keep it serveve and is kind 656 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 12: of how it is. And it's been my best as 657 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 12: I growing up. You know, so we knew what type 658 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 12: of game was gonna be coming in and he's an 659 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 12: execute the way we. 660 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 6: Had to do. 661 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 2: Geno Stone after the game and Dave, we talked defense 662 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: was was better, not good enough? But one thing that 663 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: really jumps out in tracking the game, the third downs 664 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: allowed and some of the killers. They allow a third 665 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: and eleven conversion, a third and seventeen conversion, another third 666 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: and eleven, there was a first and twenty. There's a 667 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 2: twenty three yard gain on a on a first down. Earlier, 668 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 2: there were just those backbreaking moments where you're so close 669 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: to getting off the field and giving your offense to football, 670 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: and they would they would break down at those moments. 671 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: And it's just kind of been the pattern this season. 672 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it has. And you know, if Aaron Rodgers, you know, 673 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: makes a big conversion, you think, oh, you know, Aaron Rodgers, 674 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 3: He's done that to a lot of people. But Mason Rudolph, 675 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: now he's making a big third and seventeen conversions, and 676 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 3: it's like, whoa, that's a horse of a different color. 677 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph comes in the football game and goes twelve 678 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 3: or sixteen, one hundred and twenty seven yards touchdown pass 679 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 3: quarterback Radio one eighteen point five. So yeah, I mean, 680 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 3: the defense, I agree. In the locker room, the sentiment was, 681 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: you know, the defense really played well enough to potentially 682 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: win this football game. Offensively, just didn't get it done 683 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 3: at all. You know, we just couldn't take advantage of 684 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 3: opportunities that were presented to us. And then you turn 685 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: it over twice. You know, Pittsburgh doesn't turn it over. 686 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: Bengals turn it over twice. You go minus two on 687 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 3: the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's a recipe for disaster. 688 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: And it's tough to win a football game when you're 689 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 3: putting yourself in that type of an environment. 690 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: Boy, with seven games left, and part of the conversation 691 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: will be as it becomes more and more difficult to 692 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: make the math work to making the playoffs. Part of 693 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: it when you get late in the season is finding 694 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 2: out about players even more so in opportunities. And I 695 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: wonder as much as Gino Stone has continued to have 696 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 2: a tough time struggle tackling, I wonder if it might 697 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 2: open the door for Tyson Anderson to get some more 698 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: snaps or PJ Jewles to get some more snaps. It 699 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: just feels like something has to happen from a tackling standpoint, 700 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: and Geno unfortunately has been almost like the poster problem 701 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: for the tackling at times for this team. 702 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 3: It really has and he's earned it and he deserves it. 703 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 3: I mean, God, it's brutal. It's like he doesn't want 704 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 3: to use his arms and hands and wrap people up 705 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 3: and tackle people and take them to the ground. I mean, 706 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 3: the Bengals need to do the routine tackling drill for 707 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 3: like a half an hour, you know, and get your 708 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 3: head across the bow, wrap up with the arms and 709 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: take them to the ground. Paul Brown had our quarterbacks 710 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: doing routine tackling drills back in the day because if 711 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 3: they turn the football over and they may be the 712 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: one that has to make the tackle on the interceptor. 713 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 3: So you're right, if things continue this way, and maybe 714 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 3: it's time. You know, it's been bad now for ten games, 715 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 3: so you know, maybe it's time to take a look, 716 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 3: see at the others and give him an opportunity. And 717 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 3: you know, once they get in the lineup, they may 718 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 3: never come out. 719 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: Stick around more to get too. As we hit down 720 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 2: the stretch. In our first of three hours today, we'll 721 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: talk about the day that Chase Brown turned in yesterday 722 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 2: and more. He's Dave Lapham, I'm alliance McAllister. The show 723 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: is Bengals on. We do it on the Bengals Radio 724 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 2: Network and seven hundred WLW down the stretch. We go 725 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: about to put our first of three hours in the 726 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 2: books today Bengals one of the Bengals Radio Network and 727 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: seven hundred WLTW Lance McAllister Dave Lapham. Chase Brown a 728 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: productive day, fourth straight week with over one hundred total 729 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage. He carried it eighteen times for ninety 730 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 2: nine yards. He caught six passes for twenty eight yards. 731 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: And Dabu, you alluded to the running game early and 732 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: what the the big picture of eighteen carries ninety nine 733 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: yards is impressive. The frustrating thing was kind of the 734 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 2: staggered stop and start to the run game because Chase 735 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 2: Brown had a fifteen yard gain. He later had a 736 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 2: thirty five yard gain, but the other sixteen carries they 737 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: didn't do a whole lot with the run game. And 738 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: that's part of the kind of the roller coaster of 739 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,479 Speaker 2: this thing. It'll be fun at moments and then it'll 740 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: like come to a jarring, halted moments. 741 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Chase Brown fifty yards of his ninety 742 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 3: nine on two of his eighteen carries, So it was 743 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 3: feast or famine. Yep. You know, they either gashed him 744 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 3: and hurt him. Badly or you know, went away with 745 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 3: without a whimper. And that's the thing. I think consistency, 746 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 3: or lack thereof, is the biggest problem this football team 747 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 3: is having. And that's not a shock when you consider 748 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 3: that their overall record is is three and seven. It's 749 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: just you know, some some series they go out there 750 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 3: and wow, jeez, it looks pretty good. Thet they got 751 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: a pretty good idea of what's happening here. They they're 752 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 3: they're they got a nice, nice approach. They're attacking well, 753 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 3: playing very physical, playing very aggressively, and then you know 754 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 3: it'll be like, what the hell is going on? This 755 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 3: football team looks awful? Man, it looks like they haven't 756 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 3: even practiced all week. It looks like that you know, 757 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers or whoever the opponent is is just 758 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 3: totally befuddling them. You know, they're doing things that they 759 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 3: didn't even anticipate and prepare themselves for. So that's the 760 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 3: thing is becoming. I think part of being a professional 761 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 3: is doing your job consistently. Your supervisor knowing day in 762 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 3: and day out, you're gonna show up to work, you're 763 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 3: gonna punch in, you're gonna work your ass off and 764 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 3: you're gonna punch out and go home, rest up, and 765 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 3: do it again the next day. And and that's the 766 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: mindset that they have to get to. 767 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: And Chase Brown is so good. We saw earlier in 768 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: the year when there weren't holes being created for him 769 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 2: and he was getting hit first contact was behind a 770 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: lot of scrimmage. But you him just a little bit 771 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: of daylight, and whether it's running the ball or catching 772 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: it out of the backfield, he can be dynamic. I mean, 773 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 2: four consecutive weeks over one hundred yards of total offense. 774 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: That is a big element for this offense when it 775 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 2: when it's working that. 776 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 3: Way, no question. I mean he is as he's an 777 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 3: explosive player. He's got a low center of gravity, you know, 778 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 3: I'd say he's five to nine max and two hundred 779 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 3: and ten two hundred and fifteen pounds, and he can 780 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,479 Speaker 3: change direction in a heartbeat now and hit his skill set, 781 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 3: like we talked about, he can do just about anything 782 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 3: that you wanted to do as a football player. So 783 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 3: he's a huge weapon. 784 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 2: And wound up being their leading receiver with the six 785 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 2: catches yesterday. It had more catches than anybody else on 786 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: the team yesterday. 787 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, he did, and uh you know he he had 788 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 3: tied for the most targets with eight. Excuse me, I'm 789 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 3: looking at the wrong he was he was second target. Yep, 790 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 3: and he and t had eight, so you know they're 791 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 3: definitely the offense is definitely. I'm not saying it's going 792 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 3: through Chase Brown, but part of the time it is 793 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 3: going through Chase. 794 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: From yes nice got to have it go through absolutely. 795 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 3: Yep. 796 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 2: All right, that's one of the books. We have much 797 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: more to get to. We'll hear from Barrett Carter andmaryus 798 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 2: Mims talk about the play of Miles Murphy yesterday and more. 799 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: I might have to get into some Joe Burrow conversation 800 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 2: before we're done as well.

That's that's really it. 837 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 13: I mean it's as frank as that age. Just eleven 838 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 13: guys just doing their job and once the ball get thrown. 839 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 3: Just flying around and just trying to get 'em down. 840 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 5: You know, there's no quid and helping moralizing get third 841 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,959 Speaker 5: and eleven third and eleven third. 842 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 3: And seventeen they keep picking up those big ones where 843 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 3: those artipically high percentage plays. 844 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's frustrating. You know, those are favorable situations for 845 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 13: the defense, and you know we expect to get off 846 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 13: the field really every single time we're in that situation. 847 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 3: So it's uh, super frustrating. 848 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 13: So we just gotta just watch the film and find out, 849 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 13: you know, what exactly went wrong and just do better 850 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 13: with tackling, do better just swarming to the football, taking 851 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 13: better angles, and just finding a way to get the 852 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 13: runner down. So it's frustrating, but you just gotta find 853 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 13: a way to. 854 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,439 Speaker 3: Not let it happened in the next few weeks. Did 855 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 3: you like being a key drive the game? 856 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 2: First? 857 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 6: First drive the second half moved alps in there. 858 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: Uh, you guys got 'em through and the water a 859 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:54,760 Speaker 2: couple of times. 860 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 3: Don't put off the field. 861 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 2: You to get with keyp drive and keep and. 862 00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 6: How the game went. 863 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 3: I mean that specific drive. I wouldn't say that was 864 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 3: the KEI a key drive. 865 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 13: You know, you have to treat and give every single 866 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 13: drive the respect that it deserves, and if you don't, 867 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 13: then you know you're gonna get exposed. So I wouldn't 868 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 13: necessarily say that was a key drive. You know, it 869 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 13: is a emphasis of, you know, try to win the 870 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 13: middle eight the last four minutes of the second half, 871 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 13: first four or the third. So frustrating that that happened, 872 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 13: but you just gotta find a way to not let 873 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 13: that happen again. 874 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 6: And those stirring lungs. It seemed like the strategy was, 875 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 6: you know, if they catch it short close to the 876 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 6: line of scrimmage, you gotta rally up and make the play, 877 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 6: which is pretty common and unfortunately there were several plays 878 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 6: where you just weren't able to execute that right. 879 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you know what I mean. 880 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 6: I guess there's no real question there, but that is 881 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 6: something that the defense has to improve on, right. 882 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, we try to try to keep everything 883 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 13: in front of you and just like I said, just 884 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 13: rally and tackle 'em. So we just need to do 885 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 13: a better job of that. Frustrating that we had them in. 886 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 13: You know, so many of those situations today and weren't 887 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 13: able to get off the field. But you know those, 888 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 13: like I said, those are favorable situations for the defense. 889 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 13: If we can get 'em in a third down the 890 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 13: long every single time, then you know, that's that's playing 891 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 13: good football. So we just gotta find a way to 892 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 13: just correct those mistakes and all that that happen again. 893 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 3: Reach straight games without a turnover with what's the comu 894 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 3: to get a. 895 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 13: News, but just seeing the ball, just having a knack 896 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 13: for it, you know, whether that's punching, ripping, stabbing, picking 897 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,879 Speaker 13: the ball off, whatever it is, just just gotta see 898 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 13: the ball better. You know, our offenses, you know, fighting 899 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 13: and scratching corn, doing everything they can for us, and 900 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 13: you know we just gotta we gotta compliment them and 901 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 13: give them some turnovers and return So we're just we're 902 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 13: building towards at you know, it's frustrating that we haven't 903 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 13: done that in the past three games, but we work 904 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 13: at it every single day so that that worm that 905 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 13: turnover warm is gonna turn. So it's gonna turn very soon. 906 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 14: You used it'd frustrating a lot. 907 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 2: Just how much more frustrating is it knowing where you 908 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 2: guys are in the division and knowing how much of 909 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 2: win here could have tightened. 910 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 14: Things in the race. 911 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 13: It's frustrating. Again, No, this division stay, There's still a 912 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 13: lot of ball have to be played. Still gotta play 913 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 13: Baltimore twice, Cleveland again, Cleveland again. So I mean there's 914 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 13: it's still a lot of room to for us to 915 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 13: you know, rise and you know take the spot. So it, 916 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 13: like I said, it is freshing. But they don't call 917 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 13: the season after that game. So we we got we 918 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 13: got work to do, but we'll we'll respond. For sure. 919 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,919 Speaker 6: The Ropins did only score twenty were their positive things 920 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 6: on defense and if Selwich stood out. 921 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 13: To you, Yeah, for sure there were positives and you know, 922 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 13: twenty is still too much in in my opinion and 923 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 13: our whole defense opinion. Like that that's they shouldn't they 924 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 13: shouldn't have had twenty points. But I thought we played well, 925 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 13: just never never wavering. You know when things got hard, 926 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 13: you know we stayed together. You know, the energy was great. 927 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 13: So you know, we we we're we're building a family 928 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 13: on this defense, and we we know that we're gonna 929 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 13: fight til the last second, and you know things may 930 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 13: not be pretty, but you know we're gonna finish all 931 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 13: four quarters or however long. 932 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 3: It takes so a. 933 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 13: Lot of positives to take away, but know the main 934 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 13: positive that we just got to get a win, and 935 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 13: that's what we fail to do today. So I just 936 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 13: got to look forward to next We try to do that. 937 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 2: Barrett Carter after the game yesterday and Dave, I almost 938 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 2: I feel bad at times watching Barrett Carter because it's 939 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 2: almost as though when when you're a rookie and there's 940 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 2: expectations you early in the season, he looked really aggressive 941 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 2: and sometimes might overrun a play what you understand now. 942 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 2: I almost it almost feels like he's wondering and second 943 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 2: guessing and tentative, and and anytime you're a linebacker and 944 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 2: your tentative, that play has already passed you, and it's 945 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 2: just it's leaving him in some really difficult situations. 946 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, he wants to be perfect, you know, and and man, 947 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 3: you just got to shoot your gun. You just got 948 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 3: to let it roll, you know. Have faith in your preparation, 949 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 3: have faith and what the coaches have instructed you to do, 950 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 3: have coached you up to do, and when you see it, 951 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 3: go get it. And because he is he's a very 952 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 3: very physically gifted kid, He's a skilled kid athletically. They 953 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 3: were very very excited about about having him and being 954 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 3: able to work with him and and be a big 955 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 3: part of his his professional career, his professional life. So 956 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 3: they've got big plans for Barrett Carter, and I think, 957 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 3: you know, deservedly so. But he's got to play more consistently, 958 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 3: just like everybody around him, Dave. 959 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 2: I would imagine there were times back in your day 960 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 2: where you're sitting in the film session and there's a 961 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 2: play that pops up on the screen and you know 962 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 2: it's coming and I block your eyes. I gotta imagine 963 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,959 Speaker 2: today a tough day for the trio of Barrett Carter 964 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 2: and Geno Stone and DJ Turner on the play that 965 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: Darnell Washington at six seven two sixty four pushes one 966 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 2: away knocks one down, shoves another away, and rumbles down 967 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 2: the field. That up on the up on the screen 968 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 2: would would be a tough watch. 969 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, you can get embarrassed sometimes. 970 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 3: And Washington, who they say is pushing three hundred pounds 971 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 3: on the scale, uh, and he looks like it. He's 972 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 3: a he's a big man. I mean, I'm thinking this 973 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 3: guy might be a hell of a left tackle. He's 974 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 3: got he's got great feet. Uh, he's he's got long, 975 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 3: long arms. I mean he could he could literally uh 976 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 3: at the back end of his career, maybe end up 977 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 3: playing some some tackle for somebody. But that play ignited 978 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 3: the Steelers, you know, because they respond to physicality. That's 979 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 3: what Mike Tomlins all about. And that happened right in 980 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 3: front of the Steeler bench and they went nuts. I 981 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 3: mean Tomlin, the coaches, the players, the fans, and i 982 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 3: mean everybody started going nuts. So that was Ah, that 983 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 3: was a big, big momentum builder in the football game. 984 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 2: There's no question this linebacker group is a is a 985 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 2: work in progress. They they've traded Logan Wilson and that 986 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 2: was to get more time for Barrett Carter and more 987 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 2: time for Dimitrius Knight Junior yesterday or in Burke's got 988 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 2: more snaps than he's been getting and a little bit 989 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 2: fewer for Dimitrius Knight Junior. So you're you're walking the 990 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 2: line when you when you play young guys, you can't 991 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 2: get better unless you play. But when you play with 992 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 2: young guys, it comes with the built in growing pains 993 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 2: of being a young guy. And that's the line they're 994 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 2: walking right now. 995 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've got a few players that are right 996 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 3: about the same ability, you know, and now Al Golden 997 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 3: and the staff is trying to figure out who deserves 998 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 3: the most snaps, you know. I mean it's like they're 999 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 3: they're auditioning out there in in live action, live football games. 1000 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 3: It's not necessarily where you want to be at this 1001 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 3: stage of the season, you know, just over the halfway 1002 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 3: point of the season. But reality, uh sometimes sucks. That's 1003 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 3: where the Bengals are. 1004 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 2: It's like a T shirt. There should be a teacher. 1005 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 2: Reality sometimes sucks. Printed up will continue. There's more to 1006 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 2: get to.

You're matched 1021 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,240 Speaker 6: up against t J. Watt. He didn't wreck the game. 1022 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 6: I know that's the first thing that any offensive lineman 1023 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 6: has to do. But I describe how you feel about 1024 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,720 Speaker 6: the way the offense performed today. 1025 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 15: Like I said, man starts with me before I can. 1026 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:45,919 Speaker 15: I said, I point this finger on me first, because, 1027 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 15: like I said, I gotta be I gotta be better 1028 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 15: in areas. Like I said, Mike, I said, nobody can 1029 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 15: never play a perfect game, man, But you just got 1030 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 15: you gotta ascribe to. Like I said, some things I 1031 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 15: wish I could take almost I can get back. It's 1032 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 15: a few players where I just didn't play out to 1033 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 15: my standard, whether that be a a set where I 1034 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 15: opened too fast or a late hit that I gave 1035 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 15: up Like I said, I gave up a late hit 1036 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 15: when Joe, when Joe threw the interception. And it's just 1037 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 15: like I said, it starts with me. I gotta be 1038 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 15: better in that area. And like I said, I'm not 1039 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 15: the one to critique anybody else because like I said, 1040 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 15: it starts with me first. And I don't want to, 1041 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 15: you know, speak on another like I said, another group 1042 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 15: or another like I said, another player what they can 1043 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 15: do better. But I said, I can just talk about 1044 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,480 Speaker 15: my I just talk about me honestly, where you know, 1045 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 15: I just have to be better in certain areas.

It's hard 1050 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 15: in a hard environment. I'm going against a Hall of famer, 1051 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 15: and you know, I just if I want to be 1052 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 15: you know, like if I want to be a Hall 1053 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 15: of Famer one day, I gotta you know, you know, 1054 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 15: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta play like one.

And I wish I could have those players back, 1058 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 15: But like I said, it's football, imperfect.

He he played at Georgia, was well coached 1137 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 3: down there, didn't get he missed a lot of activity 1138 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 3: in games because of uh injury and hopefully you know, 1139 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 3: he's been nicked up a little bit here with the 1140 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals. Hopefully that is sometimes guys have a period 1141 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 3: of time during the course of their career where that 1142 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 3: is a problem, but then it goes away. And hopefully 1143 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 3: when he's done and retired, he will be able to 1144 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 3: reflect back and say, man, that was a struggle getting 1145 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 3: through that period of time. But I think that that 1146 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:27,360 Speaker 3: he Scott Peters likes the way he plays, likes his attitude, 1147 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 3: likes his approach to the game. Intelligent, you know, he's 1148 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 3: not a guy that he doesn't blow assignments the tackle position. 1149 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 3: After having played all five you know in my career 1150 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,279 Speaker 3: and a couple of times in the same game, the 1151 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 3: tackle position is not real sophisticated in terms of assignments. 1152 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 3: You got the end, you know, basically, you got the 1153 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 3: end the end man on the line of scrimmage. But 1154 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:55,800 Speaker 3: he he does have good football IQ overall IQ general 1155 00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 3: I Q smart guy, he's good teammate. All the other 1156 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 3: offensive lineman love the guy, as do other position players. 1157 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 3: So I think a Marius Mims is a good addition 1158 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 3: of the football team. 1159 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 2: When you're a smart guy and a willing learner and 1160 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 2: a sponge, I think you hit on a great point. 1161 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,240 Speaker 2: He didn't have a whole lot of snaps in playing 1162 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 2: time in college, so there's still a learning curve, and 1163 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 2: he's it's almost like a piece of clay that he 1164 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,239 Speaker 2: hadn't developed a ton of bad habits, so you can 1165 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 2: just kind of mold him into what you want on 1166 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,240 Speaker 2: the on the NFL level, and he seems willing to 1167 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 2: learn and adapt as you go that's that's all you're 1168 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 2: looking for. 1169 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if if when you draft a guy 1170 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 3: like him, I mean, his his future could project to 1171 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 3: be you know, not not sure fire Hall of famer, 1172 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 3: but that type of skill set or you know, is 1173 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 3: he a bust? Is he You hate to use that word. 1174 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 3: I don't think he is, but I'm saying, you know, 1175 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 3: that's that's obviously when when guys come in highly acclaim, 1176 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 3: there's pressure with that and if they don't live up 1177 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 3: to it and fulfill it, you know, oh yeah, that dude, 1178 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,879 Speaker 3: he was a bust, you know, and that that kind 1179 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 3: of that kind of attitude, you know, you don't like 1180 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 3: to hear. So I do think I think he's got 1181 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 3: a very very bright future. I think he's playing at 1182 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 3: a good level. I'd say he's grading out as well 1183 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 3: as just about any of the offensive lineman you know 1184 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 3: that the Cincinnati Bengals have. I'm not sure if Scott 1185 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 3: Peters is a very is he a real task master 1186 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 3: greater like you know, Tiger every once in a while 1187 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 3: would be. You know, I remember John Shiner saying, I 1188 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,919 Speaker 3: got Tiger. My god, I can't. I can't do anything right. 1189 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I guess I can't even put 1190 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,800 Speaker 3: my uniform on right. But we'll see, we'll see how 1191 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 3: I do think the the one two punchs though Scott 1192 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 3: Peters teaching Amarius Mims the game of football in the 1193 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 3: NFL is a positive. 1194 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 7: Thing still ahead. 1195 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 2: We'll flip the script back onto the defensive side of 1196 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,280 Speaker 2: things and talk about the day turned in by Miles 1197 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 2: Murphy and others as we continue with Bengals on on 1198 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 2: the Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW.

It was exciting that 1211 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 2: Miles Murphy. I jotted his name down a number of 1212 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 2: times throughout the game. And there's been a lot of games, right, 1213 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 2: I didn't jot his name down at all, and I 1214 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 2: was like, where was Miles Murphy today? But unofficially seven tackles, 1215 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 2: a sack, two quarterback hits, a tackle for loss. Yes, 1216 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,320 Speaker 2: he did have a roughing the passer, but that was 1217 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 2: a moment where Miles Murphy made his presence felt and 1218 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,839 Speaker 2: that that's a good sign. They need more of that 1219 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 2: from him. 1220 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean that stat line that you just read 1221 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,880 Speaker 3: is probably the best he's had in his career, I 1222 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,839 Speaker 3: would think, so, there's no question about it. I mean, 1223 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 3: his his activity level was at a premium. I mean, 1224 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 3: he was he was a factor coming off the edge, 1225 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 3: he uh and and that's what the Bengals thought that 1226 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,760 Speaker 3: they were going to get when they drafted him, and 1227 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 3: he is. He's been a uh, you know, just a 1228 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 3: tough nut to crack for the for the Cincinnati Bengals 1229 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:39,439 Speaker 3: coaching staff. And he's had different coaches now unfortunately, uh 1230 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,839 Speaker 3: in a very short time frame of his career. But 1231 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 3: he he does have unrealized potential. He has a big, 1232 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 3: big upside. He showed some of the things that he 1233 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 3: can do. He is explosive, and he has a quick 1234 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 3: first step. I mean he can he can really uh 1235 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 3: you know, distort the timing and and and a guy 1236 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 3: like him not only does he have that quick first step, 1237 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 3: and can he speed rush the edge, he can hunker 1238 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 3: down and take you right down the middle and bull 1239 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 3: rush a little bit. He can he has a pretty 1240 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 3: good storage where he can he can stun you and 1241 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 3: stagger you a little bit. So Miles Murphy is a 1242 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 3: guy that, uh, okay, you put up one good game. 1243 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,520 Speaker 3: Now how about following up two, three, four in a row. 1244 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 3: Let's let's show that you've arrived boy. And I was 1245 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 3: struck by uh. I enjoyed the part of the pregame conversation. 1246 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 3: Yesterday Dan Horden talked with him and and mentioned that 1247 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,839 Speaker 3: Miles is is so cerebral and such a smart guy. 1248 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 3: And Dan said, sometimes defined yourself maybe overthinking something or 1249 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 3: spending too much time thinking about your your next move 1250 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 3: or how I'm gonna do this versus just the power 1251 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 3: of I'm gonna impose my will. And I would I 1252 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,439 Speaker 3: would imagine that's something especially when you're a young guy, 1253 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,279 Speaker 3: you're and you're a smart guy. 1254 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 2: There's there's a lot you have to clear out. And 1255 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 2: sometimes it's just I need to impose my will and 1256 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:56,760 Speaker 2: be able. 1257 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,719 Speaker 3: To say the hell with technique and fundamentals, but the 1258 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 3: hell a technique in front ofmentals.

It's a twenty one 1296 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,800 Speaker 2: day practice window where he can practice without counting against 1297 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 2: the roster numbers. At this point, it seemed to have 1298 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 2: caught everybody off guard, what even his teammates. And that's good. 1299 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 3: News, Yeah, really good news. Love it, how about it? 1300 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 3: In a season of not so much good news, there 1301 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 3: is good news regarding Joe Burrow and any positive news 1302 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 3: that involves number nine is tremendous news for the Cincinnati 1303 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 3: Bengals organization. And uh, seeing him out in the field 1304 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 3: throwing and and I'll tell you looks pretty damn good 1305 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 3: to me. Man. He is he's snrolling the ball. The 1306 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 3: ball is coming off his hand very fluidly, very easily, 1307 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:37,200 Speaker 3: very smoothly. He's uh, he's directing the football exceptionally well. 1308 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:42,360 Speaker 3: His his accuracy is still pinpoint. I haven't seen any 1309 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 3: any drop or any change in that. And you know, 1310 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 3: the thing that Joe Burrow has is is just a 1311 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 3: it's it's almost like the movie The Natural. He just 1312 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,439 Speaker 3: has a feel for the game. He understands football about 1313 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 3: as well as it could be understood, you know. He 1314 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 3: he if he we're going to UH school at the 1315 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 3: collegiate level and studying football, he'd have his doctorate and 1316 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 3: be going for his doctor at plus thirty or whatever 1317 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 3: the hell it would be. He's he's an incredible, incredible 1318 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 3: athlete physically and mentally, and it really does. It puts 1319 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 3: a bounce in the step of everybody, you know, coaching staff, uh, players, 1320 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 3: everybody involved in the Cincinnati Bengals when they see Joe 1321 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,480 Speaker 3: Burrow at that locker. And it has been interesting to 1322 01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 3: watch guys come by Joe Burrow's locker and you know, 1323 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 3: sit down next to him and the empty locker and 1324 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 3: talk to him and you know, get get a feel 1325 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 3: for what what he's doing and how he feels. And 1326 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 3: they come come away from it, you can see a 1327 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 3: different a different like I said before, bouncing their step, 1328 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 3: you know, a little bit different gait as they're as 1329 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 3: they're looking upon their day. 1330 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 2: The the initial speculation nationally what all this has happened was, uh, 1331 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 2: maybe mid December, and now we're we're looking at speculation 1332 01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 2: of maybe Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Maybe that's 1333 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 2: a little bit early. Maybe it's Buffalo the next week. 1334 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 2: I just know this. It was fifty seven days from 1335 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 2: the surgery to his return to the practice field. And yeah, 1336 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 2: you could argue Joe's had a lot of practice unfortunately rehabbed. 1337 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 2: But you talk about sinking your all into a rehab 1338 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 2: to get back for your team. This quickly says a 1339 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 2: lot about Joe Burrow. Well, it didn't need to be said, 1340 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 2: because I think everybody knew and respected it. But I'll 1341 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 2: say it. He put a lot into this to get 1342 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 2: back to this. 1343 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 3: Point, no doubt. I mean he invested everything, you know, 1344 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 3: all of his time, all of his energy, and he 1345 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 3: wants to play. He loves his teammates, his teammates love him. 1346 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 3: He wants to be part of it. It's like he's 1347 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 3: got a big hole in his stomach, in his heart, 1348 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 3: you know, and other organs probably in his body when 1349 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:44,680 Speaker 3: he's not able to go out there and do his 1350 01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,840 Speaker 3: thing because he is he's a high level, high producing 1351 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 3: quarterback in the National Football League and he's a leader. 1352 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 3: There's the undisputed leader of the football team. And it's 1353 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 3: just not the same when when Joe Burrow's not at 1354 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 3: the helm and hopefully as sooner rather than later, and 1355 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,920 Speaker 3: that twenty one day deal, it's he doesn't have to 1356 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,720 Speaker 3: sit out the whole twenty one day. He can be 1357 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 3: activated at any time. There as long as the coaches 1358 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,120 Speaker 3: feel like he's ready. And then even more importantly or 1359 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 3: equally important to that is the training staff and Joey 1360 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,440 Speaker 3: Bostay and everybody. Are they good with how Joe Burrow 1361 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,760 Speaker 3: is physically and can he handle the riggers in the 1362 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 3: physicality of the NFL. 1363 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 2: If let's let's play it out, he's clearly he's been 1364 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 2: cleared to do what he's doing. If that continues to 1365 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 2: be the case and he feels good, would there be 1366 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 2: any hesitation? I'm one who I tended to fall to. 1367 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 2: Players play, and if they're healthy and they want to play, 1368 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 2: and they're cleared to play, they play. You know. The 1369 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,439 Speaker 2: other side of the argument, the elephant of the room is, well, 1370 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 2: if if they lose this game to the Patriots and 1371 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 2: they're sitting at three and eight, right, what's the use 1372 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 2: of playing Joe Burrow? But man, Joe's only played a 1373 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,760 Speaker 2: game and a half this season, and if he's worked 1374 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 2: his tail off to get back and he feels and medically, 1375 01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 2: they say, green light, do you play Joe Burrow? Yes? 1376 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 3: And because I mean Joe Burrow, will He'll demand to 1377 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,919 Speaker 3: me play? You know? He he You're right, I mean 1378 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 3: he he is Uh. He is rehabbing like a banshee 1379 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 3: every single day with the thought in mind that I'm 1380 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,920 Speaker 3: gonna go out there and play football, the game I love, 1381 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,040 Speaker 3: the game I've done my entire life, and I am 1382 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 3: going to show my teammates the way I'm gonna I'm 1383 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 3: gonna lead the way. I'm going to be a beacon 1384 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 3: of light for my team and for this organization, and 1385 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 3: we're gonna win football games. And you never know what 1386 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 3: will happen around league. Maybe somebody else suffer assisting of 1387 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 3: an injury at a key position, and all of a sudden, 1388 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 3: they're a different football team. So you know, you play 1389 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 3: it out man, and and uh, and Joe Burrow is 1390 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 3: ready to do that for sure. 1391 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Boy, I think of of messaging and optics. If Joe 1392 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 2: works his tail off this hard to get back and 1393 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 2: and he wants to, and he's been medically cleared, and 1394 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 2: and there's a debate, well, we're not going to play 1395 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,120 Speaker 2: him because we're out of it. What does it say 1396 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 2: to the rest of the tea. I just think it'd 1397 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 2: be a weird message to everybody else who's banged up, 1398 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 2: and I know they're not QB one making fifty million year. 1399 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 2: But for anybody else banged up or gone through a 1400 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,200 Speaker 2: lot this season, if they suddenly looking, your team says, well, no, 1401 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 2: we're not going to play Joe because the season might 1402 01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,560 Speaker 2: be I just that's that's a tough message. 1403 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,040 Speaker 3: It is. It's a bad message, and it's a double standard. Yeah, 1404 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 3: you know, it's like, you know, you can't have a 1405 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,080 Speaker 3: set of rules for everybody and then another set of 1406 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 3: rules for Joe Burrow because he's Joe Burrow. You know, 1407 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,920 Speaker 3: it's like that now you're playing with fire. 1408 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and we've heard he's he's using a I haven't. 1409 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's seen it, a protective type thing 1410 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 2: in the built into the shoe to help the toe. 1411 01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 2: So there's precautions being taken there. And I think having 1412 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:50,320 Speaker 2: said all this, will still would we'll still kind of 1413 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:51,880 Speaker 2: hold her breath because you don't want him to get 1414 01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 2: hurt again. I mean, there's excitement that he's that he's 1415 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 2: back and he'd be cleared and to be okay, you 1416 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 2: just don't want to get him hurt again. And that's 1417 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 2: just the way it is. You know, you I went 1418 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 2: your quarterback hurt. 1419 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 3: Right, and you know early on I'm not sure in 1420 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 3: games if he'll be wearing that boot, he might just 1421 01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 3: have a really you know, tape job that is extensive 1422 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,680 Speaker 3: and taping the heck out of it where he can't 1423 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 3: even ben it, can't move it at all. Because, like 1424 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 3: you said, Lance, the worst thing, a nightmare that can't 1425 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 3: be imagined would be if he goes out there and 1426 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 3: re injures it. 1427 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think in the end it can be 1428 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:32,160 Speaker 2: as simple as if medically he's cleared and he wants 1429 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 2: to play. 1430 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 3: God. 1431 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:33,960 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1432 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 2: I mean if somebody says, well, he's eighty percent, then 1433 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 2: I'm saying, well, I don't know, right, if he's seventy 1434 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 2: five percent, if he's sixty, I don't want any I 1435 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 2: want one hundred percent. If you tell me he's one 1436 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,439 Speaker 2: hundred percent cleared and he's in his mind ready to play, 1437 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 2: then he goes out and plays football, because that's who 1438 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 2: he is. 1439 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. In the game of football is you can be 1440 01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 3: one hundred percent. You can have played five, six, seven 1441 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 3: years never been hurt, and then boom, Yeah in year 1442 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 3: eight you're hurt. You're hurt in week one and you 1443 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 3: might miss the entire season or a half of or 1444 01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,520 Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. That's uh, that's that's life 1445 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 3: in the National Football League. But like you say, everybody 1446 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,840 Speaker 3: looks at the contract and the dollars that Joe Burrow's 1447 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,680 Speaker 3: being paid, and you know understandably, so that's that's part 1448 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 3: of professional sports these days and any any one of 1449 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 3: the major professional sports. But you're right, in my mind, 1450 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 3: I would not mess with it. If he is ninety 1451 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 3: nine point nine percent, I want him one hundred percent 1452 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 3: to go out in that football field and do his thing. 1453 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's be honest. And you said at the start 1454 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,920 Speaker 2: of the show, the way that this season, unfortunately has trended, 1455 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of people's futures in doubt. And 1456 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 2: if I'm part of the coaching staff, I want Joe 1457 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 2: Burrow playing because no disrespect to Joe Flacco. We love 1458 01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,800 Speaker 2: what Joe Flacco has brought to help the store team. 1459 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 2: But Joe Burrow is Joe Burrow, and that's one of 1460 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 2: a handful of the best quarterbacks in the NFL who 1461 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 2: gives you a better chance to win football game. 1462 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely, you want your best players out on the football 1463 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,200 Speaker 3: field giving you the best chance to win as many 1464 01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 3: games as you possibly can. 1465 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 2: We roll on on this Monday Night, talking about what 1466 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,240 Speaker 2: happened yesterday, talking about what could happen in the future, 1467 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 2: and that includes a look at the New England Patriots. 1468 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 2: A little bit later on in the eight o'clock hour, 1469 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,520 Speaker 2: it's Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network and seven 1470 01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 2: hundred WLW. Down the stretch we go in our second 1471 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 2: of three big hours to night of Bengals Line on 1472 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 2: the Bengals Radio Network in seven hundred WLW and Dave 1473 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 2: looking at the big picture before we get into our 1474 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 2: third hour tonight. Here a little bit more from Zach. 1475 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 2: Here a little bit more from Joe Flacco. It is amazing. 1476 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 2: It's part of the drama that is the NFL, the 1477 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 2: greatest reality show on earth. The uncertainty of year to year. 1478 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,480 Speaker 2: You may be bad one year, you're suddenly good the 1479 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,400 Speaker 2: next year. The salary cap, the scheduling, all that plays 1480 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 2: into There's amazing numbers from year to year, the number 1481 01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 2: of tea I think at least four teams every year 1482 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:51,880 Speaker 2: for like the last thirty years have gone from last 1483 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:53,680 Speaker 2: to first at just nuts. And I look at the 1484 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 2: standings this morning and I see, as of today, the 1485 01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 2: Ravens would not make the playoffs. There five and five, 1486 01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 2: the Chiefs would make the playoffs. They're five and five 1487 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,440 Speaker 2: over the NFC. The Lions would not make the playoffs. 1488 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 2: It's just it's it's the beauty of the NFL. From 1489 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 2: a TV marketing standpoint, it's got to be the frustration 1490 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 2: of building football teams. Sometimes you just don't know. One 1491 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,840 Speaker 2: year to the next things happen and there's a there's 1492 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 2: i mean, Denver's nine and two, New England's nine and two. 1493 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,280 Speaker 2: Who saw New England being nine and two. It's just 1494 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 2: that's life in the NFL. 1495 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,759 Speaker 3: No, you're you're absolutely right, and uh you know what, 1496 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 3: what a what a coaching job has taken place in 1497 01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:35,240 Speaker 3: New England. I mean they are just talk about turning 1498 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 3: it around. I mean Drake Mays has had a hell 1499 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 3: of an impact on that organization, on that on that 1500 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:45,679 Speaker 3: football team. Uh, they're they're playing, they're playing really really well, 1501 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 3: a good brand of football. But there's not a team 1502 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 3: in the NFL that hasn't lost two games, you know, 1503 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,920 Speaker 3: and and like you say, rattling off the teams that 1504 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,639 Speaker 3: are at five hundred, that's why, that's why the Bengals 1505 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,720 Speaker 3: could have gotten this one at four six there one 1506 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 3: game out with you know, with eight to play, they're 1507 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,920 Speaker 3: definitely still you know, in the hunt. But the one 1508 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 3: thing you can't do is cashing your chips as a player. 1509 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,679 Speaker 3: You can't say it's over now, you know, we're done. 1510 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a it's a big piece 1511 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,760 Speaker 3: of history there. So uh, you know, they they they 1512 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,240 Speaker 3: have to they have to keep their nose to the grindstone, 1513 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 3: keep keep preparing. Like you know, you're you're fighting for uh, 1514 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 3: your division title, you're fighting for a playoff birth, You're 1515 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 3: you're fighting for your professional career. And there's a lot 1516 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:36,800 Speaker 3: to a lot to be said for that, you know, 1517 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 3: and and going that mindset, and. 1518 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 2: They think of the way things turn. I mean, who 1519 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 2: would have Indianapolis is eight and two with Daniel Jones 1520 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 2: as their quarterback? Nobody could have imagined that coming. And 1521 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,840 Speaker 2: yet here here we are with where the cults are 1522 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 2: standing right now. It's incredible. 1523 01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the beauty of sports, you know, is if 1524 01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 3: you think you can, uh, you can make uh pick 1525 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:02,840 Speaker 3: every where, but he's gonna finish in every single division. Yep, 1526 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 3: you get another thing coming, man. I Mean, there's so 1527 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:09,400 Speaker 3: many variables the injury variable. Like you said, what they 1528 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,559 Speaker 3: got in the draft from one year to the next, 1529 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 3: what they got in free agency from one year to 1530 01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,759 Speaker 3: the next, all those kind of things, all the team 1531 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,200 Speaker 3: building aspect of things. I mean, you can you can 1532 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,559 Speaker 3: change a change a team team around very very quickly, 1533 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,120 Speaker 3: like they've done in New England. 1534 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 2: Boy in that that Baltimore Ravens team was once one 1535 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 2: in five and they were giving up I think they've 1536 01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 2: given up more points in any five game stretch in 1537 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 2: their franchise history. And people started the doubt them. And 1538 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 2: Lamar was hurt, and now he's healthy, they're playing better defense. 1539 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,720 Speaker 2: And you look up in Baltimore is now five and 1540 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 2: five and right here come the Baltimore Ravens. 1541 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. And when you have quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and 1542 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:52,040 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, you know, don't don't don't count those teams out. 1543 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 3: Don't count them out too soon, because stranger things have 1544 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,559 Speaker 3: happened and uh, and these guys are uber competitive, there's 1545 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 3: no question about it. And they would love nothing more 1546 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:07,480 Speaker 3: than to change everybody's plans the way things are unfolding. 1547 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,720 Speaker 2: By the way, to end the our final thought, I 1548 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,840 Speaker 2: meant to ask you this earlier. Much was made of 1549 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,679 Speaker 2: the swaying goal post yesterday with the wind. What tell 1550 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:16,519 Speaker 2: me what was it like? 1551 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 7: Visual? 1552 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 2: It was the wind and the impact on yesterday's game 1553 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:19,639 Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. 1554 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the wind was a was an issue, was a factor. 1555 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 3: I thought that that the players handled it pretty darn 1556 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 3: well though, you know, I mean, I think they made it. 1557 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,680 Speaker 3: It impacted the game minimally, you know, really it was 1558 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 3: almost inconsequential, which you know, you got to applaud the 1559 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 3: effort of everybody for that. So you take the wind 1560 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 3: into account, but you don't let it dominate your thinking. 1561 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 2: By the way, as much as I don't like the 1562 01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers that renegade, that scene in that stadium with 1563 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 2: that music playing. 1564 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,720 Speaker 3: Is just it is it really is. I mean, the 1565 01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 3: fan base that is something they they they wait on 1566 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 3: that with baited breath, man they do, and they let 1567 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 3: it roll. 1568 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 7: Let it go, man, they do. 1569 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,720 Speaker 2: All Right, that's two in the books. We've got one 1570 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 2: more to get to, a little bit more from Zach 1571 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,719 Speaker 2: Taylor on yesterday's defeat, a little bit more from Joe Flacco. 1572 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 2: We'll do fun facts here that from Dan Horton.

Plans p Caanos Drew along 1587 01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 2: with Dave Lapham and Lance Bengals Friday Night Stripes Tour 1588 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,520 Speaker 2: presented by a Hole Kat is back for all locations 1589 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 2: this season. 1590 01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 3: Go to Bengals dot Com slash community. 1591 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 2: Thirty four twelve the final Yesterday's the Bengals dropped a 1592 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,920 Speaker 2: three and seven on the season with the Laws. So 1593 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 2: let's get more from the coach. Here's Zach with the 1594 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 2: media after the game. 1595 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 4: You got to give them credit. They did the things 1596 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,400 Speaker 4: you gotta do to win these games. AFC Now North 1597 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,599 Speaker 4: November December Football. They did it, you know, and they 1598 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,759 Speaker 4: tackled better. They won the turner of battle two to nothing, 1599 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:34,719 Speaker 4: and that's the recipe for success. 1600 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 3: And I think. 1601 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,320 Speaker 4: Ultimately the score, the score is not indicative of how 1602 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,559 Speaker 4: the game played through through the first three quarters, but 1603 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 4: it is what it is. They did the things you 1604 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 4: gotta win and so they got a chance to run 1605 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 4: away with it. And it was really frustrating and disappointing 1606 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:48,920 Speaker 4: because this is not what we expected to run. But 1607 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:50,719 Speaker 4: so what we did, you was to turn a battle 1608 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 4: two to nothing. That's how it's gonna play out. 1609 01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:01,559 Speaker 13: There was yeah, what was happening. 1610 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 4: It got loud, you know, so the communication became a 1611 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,000 Speaker 4: problem on one of the timeouts. So your choice is 1612 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:09,680 Speaker 4: just stand there and run no play you know, as 1613 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 4: you're trying to figure out with ten seconds on the 1614 01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 4: play clock, and so we called the time out there 1615 01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 4: and the delay of game was just again hard to hear. 1616 01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 4: So I'm sure we're having to repeat a lot of calls, 1617 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 4: repeat calls on my end so that we can hear 1618 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 4: him in the huddle and then repat him in huddle. 1619 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 4: So it's challenging. It was a loud environment, yeah, trying 1620 01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 4: to get him jump, trying to get him jump. It's 1621 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,639 Speaker 4: it's a tough call. They they are a tough short 1622 01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:36,560 Speaker 4: yardage unit to go against. So yeah, it's it's that 1623 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,400 Speaker 4: that's a decision worth criticizing. I'm not going to doubt that. 1624 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,800 Speaker 4: But that was we went into the game film like 1625 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 4: that was an opportunity for us and didn't work out. 1626 01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:46,599 Speaker 9: Did you feel like you were going to get momento 1627 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:51,639 Speaker 9: after just throw, you know, just because all that happened beforehand, 1628 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,639 Speaker 9: But even did you make you like get a little 1629 01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:54,639 Speaker 9: they lost. 1630 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,240 Speaker 4: We were just expecting to go score, you know, and 1631 01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 4: and uh came away with a field goal. Andra, if 1632 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,000 Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken. So again, I I don't read too 1633 01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 4: much into how that situation unfolded. We're just we're just 1634 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 4: trying to call the next play. Oh I didn't. I 1635 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,320 Speaker 4: still thought he threw the ball. Well, I mean it 1636 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 4: was as windy a game as ever ever been a 1637 01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:19,639 Speaker 4: part of. So as we watched the tape, I don't 1638 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,280 Speaker 4: I don't know how much that factor did anything. I 1639 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:22,880 Speaker 4: felt like he was throwing well and probably where he 1640 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,640 Speaker 4: wanted to. Maybe he'll tell you different, but again that 1641 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 4: was that was you know, for both teams, it was 1642 01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:32,639 Speaker 4: there's a win again. Yes, yes. 1643 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:37,240 Speaker 3: They did. 1644 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:38,800 Speaker 4: I mean it was certainly one of the better games 1645 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,439 Speaker 4: they played, and so they gave us those opportunities, you know, 1646 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,240 Speaker 4: ten points third halftime after giving out that first drive 1647 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,879 Speaker 4: of the game. I was happy with the punts they forced. Unfortunately, 1648 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,000 Speaker 4: we couldn't capitalize on offense and get enough points on 1649 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,400 Speaker 4: the board to take advantage, especially with the ball coming 1650 01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,360 Speaker 4: out so at the second half, and you know, overall 1651 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 4: in the second half, just the two positions, we just 1652 01:15:57,960 --> 01:15:59,280 Speaker 4: got to get him on the ground. There's a lot 1653 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 4: of opportunities to get them on the ground. We're working 1654 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,640 Speaker 4: like crazy, talking like it crazy. It's just got to 1655 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 4: show up. 1656 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 6: There's tough. 1657 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 4: I mean, the their defense is a great job. You 1658 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,839 Speaker 4: have to give them credit. Well, coach, they have great players. 1659 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,640 Speaker 4: You know, we we had some some drives there in 1660 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 4: the first half. We weren't backed up per se, but 1661 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,240 Speaker 4: you know, minus ten, minus fifteen felt like we were 1662 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 4: working our way out of that thing, and you just 1663 01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 4: can't kind of stall out at midfield, and so just 1664 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,439 Speaker 4: didn't sustain, didn't get the exposive plays we we'd like 1665 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 4: to get. And that's you know, that's that's a credit 1666 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,960 Speaker 4: to them. That's that's how they played us. And they 1667 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 4: were going to make us go to the link of 1668 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:36,600 Speaker 4: the field, and we just weren't able to do that 1669 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 4: in the first half. I saw that first drive, yeah, 1670 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 4: because we we had them behind the sticks plenty of times, 1671 01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:46,960 Speaker 4: you know, and I think that was it was great, 1672 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,720 Speaker 4: you know for our guys to do that and and 1673 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 4: some opportunities to take advantage of and and so then 1674 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,000 Speaker 4: when they convert, Yeah, that takes the win out of 1675 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 4: you a little bit. Yeah, they again, I don't I 1676 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 4: don't think we we were ever in a tremendous rhythm 1677 01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:04,639 Speaker 4: in any facet. And and you have to credit them, 1678 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,719 Speaker 4: you know. They they had a great plan, They played 1679 01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 4: well at times, we found some momentum and just it 1680 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,240 Speaker 4: wasn't enough of that to to go out and score 1681 01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:17,880 Speaker 4: enough points to win in the game keeping school there, Yeah, yeah, 1682 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,800 Speaker 4: I mean these guys are in emotional matchups. We all 1683 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 4: know that there's a lot at stake for teams. There's 1684 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 4: a lot at stake for these individuals. It's competitive when 1685 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 4: when you got great players going against great players, it's 1686 01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 4: going to be emotional at times. And jamar Is always 1687 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 4: do an excellent job of of controlling what you can control, 1688 01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,360 Speaker 4: and and so I respect that about them. 1689 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:42,000 Speaker 8: Were able to win. 1690 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,679 Speaker 3: He asked you about tackling to a point. 1691 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:46,599 Speaker 2: Where you guys. 1692 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 6: And games that you might personnel changes to see if 1693 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,880 Speaker 6: that can help tackling exactly. 1694 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 5: Might be about. 1695 01:17:58,720 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 9: But on the. 1696 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:07,639 Speaker 3: I have no idea. 1697 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,840 Speaker 4: I didn't see any of it. I got the worst 1698 01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 4: view in the house. So I again, they didn't call 1699 01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,040 Speaker 4: us for anything. So I'm proud of our guys I 1700 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 4: I have. I have the worst eating house, no idea. 1701 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 4: You you feel them, you feel all the losses that 1702 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:33,120 Speaker 4: you feel them all they eat at you all. You know, 1703 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 4: we're working, We're working like crazy to make sure that 1704 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,599 Speaker 4: this doesn't happen. It happened today is disappointing. Our option 1705 01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 4: is come back tomorrow and keep fighting and find a 1706 01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 4: way to get a win. And we got a red 1707 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,600 Speaker 4: hot team coming in here, and so what that's what 1708 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 4: we're gonna do. We're gonna do everything we can to 1709 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 4: clean this up, correct the mistakes, get back to work. 1710 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,920 Speaker 4: And fight another week and find a way to get 1711 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,720 Speaker 4: a win. Same just what I just said, the same thing. 1712 01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 8: Opportunities just to kind of tighten things. 1713 01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 4: Of course, you know it's we were our goals would 1714 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 4: be three and oer in the division, you know, coming 1715 01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:08,880 Speaker 4: out of this game. And that's that's not how out 1716 01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 4: New England. I mean, it's simple, find a way to 1717 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 4: scratch and call and get a win and get the 1718 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 4: feeling we had back three weeks ago and we'd beat Pittsburgh, 1719 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 4: you know, and gave us a good opportunity. And so 1720 01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 4: that's where we're back to. We're back to just find 1721 01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 4: a way to get a win against New England and 1722 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:35,719 Speaker 4: try to capitalize when them. That is our only option right. 1723 01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:39,719 Speaker 2: Now, Zach after the game yesterday, early on a couple 1724 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,800 Speaker 2: of points during the game. Early on, Bengals score on 1725 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 2: their first drive, there's a penalty that moves the ball 1726 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 2: to the one. I had no issue with Zach going 1727 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,360 Speaker 2: for two at that right right, probably would have gone 1728 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 2: with a different play. I don't know if I run 1729 01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 2: into the teeth of the Steeler defense on it. But 1730 01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:56,960 Speaker 2: did you have a problem from the start with the 1731 01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 2: opportunity to go for two? No, I didn't. 1732 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 3: I thought, you know, I had no issue with the 1733 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,679 Speaker 3: decision that was made there. I mean, if you can't 1734 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,360 Speaker 3: make a yard, you don't deserve it, you know, so, 1735 01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:10,479 Speaker 3: but I agree with you. I think the play selection, 1736 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 3: in hindsight, I think Zach would have gone in a 1737 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:13,439 Speaker 3: different direction as well. 1738 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,000 Speaker 2: One other aspect of this offense that is maddening, Dave 1739 01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 2: is how long it seems to take them to get 1740 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:24,840 Speaker 2: plays in that lead to timeouts or or delay of game. 1741 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,879 Speaker 2: There was one point Joe Flacco turned to the sideline 1742 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,600 Speaker 2: and kind of had his arms up like that, and 1743 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,840 Speaker 2: Zach was like, what And it's just that that has 1744 01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,439 Speaker 2: to be fixed. That that delay is just because any 1745 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,840 Speaker 2: quarterback would want as much time, and Joe Burrow specifically 1746 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 2: is so good processing at the line, you want to 1747 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 2: give him time and not rush things. And so many 1748 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,759 Speaker 2: times things seemed rushed to get a playoff. 1749 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:51,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's no excuse for you know, time management 1750 01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:55,479 Speaker 3: issues where you know you're literally going down in the 1751 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,439 Speaker 3: last second and having to quick snap the football or 1752 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 3: you know, not having to burn timeouts in order to 1753 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 3: you know, alleviate a penalty that would be incurred otherwise. 1754 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,280 Speaker 3: I mean, those are the kind of things that from 1755 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 3: a game management standpoint, you just you just can't you 1756 01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 3: just can't really have. And I don't know if it's 1757 01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:18,559 Speaker 3: like Zach's, you know, talking to Dan Pitcher and other 1758 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,479 Speaker 3: members of the offense, and everybody's got opinions and everybody's 1759 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 3: sworn opinions out, and there's you know, they don't have 1760 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 3: enough time to sort through it all. If that's the case, 1761 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,360 Speaker 3: that has to be remedied, I mean you have to, 1762 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 3: you have to have I remember Bill Walsh. I saw 1763 01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:39,120 Speaker 3: his play sheet for a game one time, and every 1764 01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 3: single down in distance he had two or three things 1765 01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 3: that he was going to be thinking about so he 1766 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:49,000 Speaker 3: would get to the crux of it right away. And Okay, 1767 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 3: based on what I've seen so far, it's the first 1768 01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,320 Speaker 3: quarter of the game, I haven't really seen all that much. 1769 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 3: Let's try this. Well, okay, I've seen a lot more 1770 01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 3: snaps of what they're doing defensively. Next time that comes up, 1771 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,680 Speaker 3: sure and make a notation and he'd be over there 1772 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:05,880 Speaker 3: like a mad you know, mad professor writing on his 1773 01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,679 Speaker 3: on his play by play sheet. You know, but those 1774 01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,040 Speaker 3: I think those are the guys who have a lot 1775 01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 3: of success. Uh, you know preparation. He burned the midnight 1776 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,720 Speaker 3: hours man he was. He was all about preparation for 1777 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 3: the game. So when when the game unfolded, he was ready. 1778 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Take a time out and continue a little 1779 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,479 Speaker 2: hear a little bit more from Joe Flacco as we 1780 01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:30,720 Speaker 2: make our way through this Monday night. The show is 1781 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,520 Speaker 2: Bengals Line and the Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW. 1782 01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:39,800 Speaker 2: Let's keep it moving on this Monday night of talking 1783 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,880 Speaker 2: Bengals on Bengals Line, the Bengals Radio Network and seven 1784 01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 2: hundred WLW. 1785 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,840 Speaker 3: Hey, Bengals fans, make sure to catch me and Dan 1786 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,559 Speaker 3: Hoard every Wednesday this season for Bengals Game Plan presented 1787 01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,640 Speaker 3: by Bud Light on the air from six to eight 1788 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,639 Speaker 3: pm on ESPN fifteen thirty. 1789 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco again, one hundred and ninety nine yards through 1790 01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,479 Speaker 2: the air, through a touchdown, through a pick six, one 1791 01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,479 Speaker 2: up with thequarterback rating of sixty eight point six years 1792 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,760 Speaker 2: more from Joe after the game. 1793 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 3: Listen to me. 1794 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,640 Speaker 5: We're halfway through the season. Basically, it's a little bit 1795 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:13,200 Speaker 5: more now, but it really is so tough to look 1796 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,599 Speaker 5: at it that way. I think it's easy to get 1797 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:21,800 Speaker 5: caught up in that stuff, But you know it, I 1798 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,640 Speaker 5: I really try to remove myself from those situations and 1799 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 5: just go play football. And I think if you do that, 1800 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:29,840 Speaker 5: that's when you give yourself the best chance to be 1801 01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:33,439 Speaker 5: in the best position you want. Obviously, that's there lingering 1802 01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,600 Speaker 5: and you know, the opportunity and all that stuff, but 1803 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 5: you got to try to avoid getting caught up in 1804 01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 5: those things are you're trying to manage the pain in 1805 01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,880 Speaker 5: the shoulder. How much worse did he get after? 1806 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 8: Now? 1807 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 5: I mean, listen, that's football. He did a good job. 1808 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 5: He buried me in the turf. But uh but I 1809 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,720 Speaker 5: felt good, you know, felt good all game. 1810 01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:55,639 Speaker 6: Did they changed much the way they attack Jamara? 1811 01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 5: Well, I think they made sure that. They probably did 1812 01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 5: it more. Just they probably had a couple of guys 1813 01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,880 Speaker 5: on him more often than they did in the first game. 1814 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:08,400 Speaker 5: And you know, that's why they're a good football team. 1815 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 8: Uh. 1816 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 5: And we knew, we knew they're gonna make adjustments and 1817 01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 5: come in here and and play better than they did 1818 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,599 Speaker 5: the first time we played them, and we just gotta 1819 01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 5: we gotta match that. 1820 01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 8: Two safeties would do gooder than that five. 1821 01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:26,360 Speaker 5: Did they did they change much bigger? Listen? I think 1822 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,800 Speaker 5: everything they did we kind of had a plan for 1823 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,599 Speaker 5: and and and could see that you know, why they 1824 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 5: were doing it and the fact that they were going 1825 01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 5: to do it. You have to ask them, I mean 1826 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 5: in terms of what they feel like they can do 1827 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 5: and and and you know, I know, those guys are 1828 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 5: good players. And anytime you get your best players out there, 1829 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:43,760 Speaker 5: you feel you feel like you got a you know, 1830 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 5: a good thing going. 1831 01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:47,360 Speaker 9: Do you feel like there was a miss in terms 1832 01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 9: of point when they lose their safety too, do you 1833 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,680 Speaker 9: look at the situation orrey down do the secondary and 1834 01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 9: you know whatever? 1835 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:55,559 Speaker 5: I just think I just think the way they were 1836 01:24:55,600 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 5: playing that stuff mattered. Obviously it matters over the long haul. 1837 01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 5: But the way they were playing and trying to double 1838 01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,439 Speaker 5: guys and doing those things and just trying to get 1839 01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,360 Speaker 5: pressure with their front. I don't think it was one 1840 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,439 Speaker 5: of those things where you could, you know, start drawing 1841 01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,599 Speaker 5: stuff up and take advantage of because guys were out. 1842 01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 5: I think they were still sticking to their plan and 1843 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 5: doing what they were gonna do against. 1844 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 7: Us made so many you've made it, so. 1845 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 6: Many eight teams here. 1846 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:24,920 Speaker 8: When did you begin to think that they might. 1847 01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,800 Speaker 5: Be you know, equipment and ground well no. I mean, listen, 1848 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,880 Speaker 5: these games, you know they're gonna be battles. And even 1849 01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 5: though this looks like a lot, it looks really bad. 1850 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,679 Speaker 5: It's one of those typical games that you come playing 1851 01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:41,400 Speaker 5: here and all of a sudden it breaks loose and 1852 01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 5: it goes the other way. But this you felt it today. 1853 01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:49,280 Speaker 5: It was a hard, physical game. They you knew they 1854 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,240 Speaker 5: were gonna make it tough, tough for it for us, 1855 01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,120 Speaker 5: and we just didn't come through in those couple of 1856 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:59,599 Speaker 5: little moments. You know, they got two touchdowns on defense 1857 01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,040 Speaker 5: and got everybody excited and we're able to pin their 1858 01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,960 Speaker 5: ears back and do their thing. And you know, that's 1859 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,120 Speaker 5: what this game comes down to. It's it's one or 1860 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,799 Speaker 5: two plays that you can look back on, and obviously 1861 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,640 Speaker 5: there's more than that and just the consistency of it, 1862 01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 5: but there's always those plays. And it comes down to 1863 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,680 Speaker 5: just playing and winning football and and and kind of 1864 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 5: waiting for your opportunity and you know, not letting not 1865 01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,880 Speaker 5: letting yourself get too far out ahead of yourself, and 1866 01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 5: and trying to make things happen when they're not going to. 1867 01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:31,519 Speaker 5: And I don't really think we were doing that today, 1868 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:35,639 Speaker 5: but we obviously you know, just we weren't able to wait, wait, wait, 1869 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,000 Speaker 5: wait and strike. We uh, we made mistakes and they capitalized. 1870 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:43,240 Speaker 5: I don't think so, I I I, I don't think so. 1871 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 5: And you know, I didn't pay much attention to it 1872 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,080 Speaker 5: during the game, but you like it, it was windy 1873 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 5: out there. You could tell pregame ball was moving around. 1874 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,360 Speaker 5: I don't think I've seen it like that before. I 1875 01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:54,120 Speaker 5: don't think so. I. I, like I said, I don't. 1876 01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:55,960 Speaker 5: I think during the game it r it really didn't 1877 01:26:56,040 --> 01:27:01,360 Speaker 5: end up playing, you know, being a huge factor Georgian defense. 1878 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 5: But the team I thought they did a lot of 1879 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 5: good things today. You know, it's just a shame in 1880 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,160 Speaker 5: the way that you know, we're kind of not managing 1881 01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,439 Speaker 5: each other right now and playing both sides as well 1882 01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 5: as we can at the same time. 1883 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,240 Speaker 3: So I know you your jobbing on the sidelines. But 1884 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 3: the extent you got to. 1885 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:25,760 Speaker 8: See defensive at all, was there anything to your eyes 1886 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,720 Speaker 8: that looked different about what they. 1887 01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,439 Speaker 5: Were doing well today versus it looked like they got 1888 01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 5: you know, it looked like they were pinning their ears 1889 01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,840 Speaker 5: back a little bit more and playing with some confidence 1890 01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 5: and playing with some speed, so they were able to 1891 01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:37,719 Speaker 5: kind of you know, break through the line a little 1892 01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:39,880 Speaker 5: bit and you know, get in the backfield a little 1893 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 5: bit more. And I just it just looked like they 1894 01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:42,200 Speaker 5: were playing faster. 1895 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:45,000 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco after the game and Dave, one thing was 1896 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,479 Speaker 2: very clear. The Steelers took a much different approach to 1897 01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,760 Speaker 2: how they were going to handle Tea and Jamar this time. 1898 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,759 Speaker 2: In the first meeting, Jamar and t were targeted thirty 1899 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 2: three times and had twenty two catches. Yesterday, Tea and 1900 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:01,320 Speaker 2: Jamar combined for six catches on eighteen targets. 1901 01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:01,920 Speaker 9: Uh. 1902 01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:06,080 Speaker 2: The Steelers certainly made the made their adjustments and weren't 1903 01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 2: gonna let Jamar Chase go off like he did the 1904 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 2: first meeting. 1905 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 3: No, I mean they were like fly paper. I mean 1906 01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 3: they had they had somebody. It was me and my 1907 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 3: shadow for both of those guys. I mean they they 1908 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:21,040 Speaker 3: had people, you know, picking them up immediately once they 1909 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,479 Speaker 3: came off the line of scrimmage. And I saw in 1910 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 3: both cases, said, you know, double teams almost every single 1911 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,080 Speaker 3: snap as they were in the process of running their routes, 1912 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 3: and sometimes it'd be a you know, a third defensive 1913 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 3: player would work their way over in that direction and 1914 01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 3: then and then get involved so they had those two targeted. 1915 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,800 Speaker 3: They know that a big reason they lost the first 1916 01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 3: matchup was because of those two, because of Jamar Chase 1917 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,200 Speaker 3: and t Higgins. So they were going to neutralize those 1918 01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,840 Speaker 3: efforts and uh and and and diminish their contribution for sure, 1919 01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 3: and I think they probably feel like that's a big 1920 01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:59,719 Speaker 3: reason that they won the rematch. 1921 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:03,000 Speaker 2: Stick around more to get to, including Dan's weekly segment 1922 01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,920 Speaker 2: that we love fun facts talking with the Pride of 1923 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,720 Speaker 2: Saint X Bengals quarterback Sean Clifford.

I think that all together, 1955 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,680 Speaker 11: it just means a little extra. I know it means 1956 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 11: a lot to the guys in this locker room, but 1957 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:49,320 Speaker 11: for me personally, you know, it is personal. So it's 1958 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:51,240 Speaker 11: been a it's been a pleasure to be here so 1959 01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,599 Speaker 11: far and looking get some wins in the future. 1960 01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:55,800 Speaker 6: Did you attend a lot of Bengals games when you 1961 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,840 Speaker 6: were young, and if so, do any specific memories stand out. 1962 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 11: We would, We would go to games all the time. 1963 01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:05,559 Speaker 11: But my senior year, my parents actually got my brother 1964 01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:11,200 Speaker 11: and I season tickets for just for my senior year 1965 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:13,080 Speaker 11: and his eighth grade year. And if you know brother, 1966 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,479 Speaker 11: the brother connection, obviously you bicker and you fight each 1967 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 11: other for so long. And it was actually funny because 1968 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 11: in my last year before I left for college and 1969 01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:23,880 Speaker 11: his first year going into high school. You know, it 1970 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 11: was that opportunity to go to the Bengals games where 1971 01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,080 Speaker 11: I feel like we really developed that best friendship and 1972 01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:31,280 Speaker 11: then it carries on today. You know, that's my right 1973 01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:33,639 Speaker 11: hand man. So I owe a lot to this team 1974 01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 11: just from being a fan first and foremost. My brother 1975 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,960 Speaker 11: and I would always talk about it were I was 1976 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 11: able to the first game point out to Zach the 1977 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,479 Speaker 11: exact spot where I was sitting, you know, almost a 1978 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,400 Speaker 11: decade ago. So it's it's really cool to be back 1979 01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:50,280 Speaker 11: on the field contributing to a team. Maybe not on 1980 01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,760 Speaker 11: the field, but from a week to week perspective, just 1981 01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 11: giving it at my all and trying to find a 1982 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:55,040 Speaker 11: way to win. 1983 01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,759 Speaker 6: We're visiting with Sean Clifford. One of the most memorable 1984 01:31:57,840 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 6: moments in the Bengal Super Bowl run in twenty twenty 1985 01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 6: one was the playoff game in Tennessee where Joe Burrow 1986 01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:04,880 Speaker 6: got sacked nine times and the Bengals still won the game. 1987 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 6: You did that in the state championship game for Saint 1988 01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:11,600 Speaker 6: X back in twenty sixteen. Describe that season because it 1989 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,040 Speaker 6: was not a smooth ride for the Bombers. 1990 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:15,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, very similar to this year. I think, you know, 1991 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,320 Speaker 11: the at least the opportunity. You know, we went five 1992 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,519 Speaker 11: and five in the regular season. Steve Speck actually wrote 1993 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 11: a book about that season. But when five and five, 1994 01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,880 Speaker 11: I had injuries. We had injuries going into the season. 1995 01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:30,160 Speaker 11: I think that we had five starters out by the 1996 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,400 Speaker 11: first week. So, you know, it was a lot of 1997 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,720 Speaker 11: ups and downs, but put together some good wins in 1998 01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:37,960 Speaker 11: the back end, made it into the playoffs, is a 1999 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,920 Speaker 11: very late seed, and then rode that momentum all the 2000 01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 11: way to the state championship, and I think that you know, 2001 01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,640 Speaker 11: you in those situations, you know, I compare it, you 2002 01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,000 Speaker 11: can compare it in every level. 2003 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:50,080 Speaker 14: You know, you just got to find a way to 2004 01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 14: string together wins. 2005 01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:52,800 Speaker 11: But then once you get to the big dance and 2006 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:56,160 Speaker 11: it's one game at a time, anything can happen. So 2007 01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 11: I think that that's always been on mindset is you know, 2008 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,559 Speaker 11: a season's long, it's gonna be tough, and there's gonna 2009 01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 11: be ups and downs, but weathering that storm and being 2010 01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,800 Speaker 11: able to at least get to the final that you know, 2011 01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:09,320 Speaker 11: that final show, then anybody can win every single week. 2012 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,840 Speaker 11: So it's just about putting putting enough together, you know, 2013 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,439 Speaker 11: because you're gonna face adversity, But if you can put 2014 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:18,040 Speaker 11: enough together to get to that point, then you can 2015 01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:18,880 Speaker 11: catch a hot streak. 2016 01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:21,800 Speaker 6: From a state championship at Saint X, it was on 2017 01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 6: to Penn State, where you spent six years. Why did 2018 01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:26,240 Speaker 6: you choose the Niitney Lions. 2019 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,720 Speaker 14: It really came down to James Franklin and I hate 2020 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:29,280 Speaker 14: to see him go. 2021 01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:31,400 Speaker 11: It was tough to see him go, for sure, And 2022 01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 11: I know a lot of guys in that locker room, 2023 01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 11: uh are still feeling that just because you know, James 2024 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:40,720 Speaker 11: was such a great guy, a family man, somebody who 2025 01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:45,040 Speaker 11: really preached, you know, the same mantra similar to Saint 2026 01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:46,880 Speaker 11: x Men for others. You know, it was kind of 2027 01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,559 Speaker 11: the same way at Penn State, and my mom really 2028 01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:51,600 Speaker 11: fell in love with the idea of me going to 2029 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 11: that school. Thank god she did, because I really, you know, 2030 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,120 Speaker 11: she she was a big proponent of going to Penn State. Uh, 2031 01:33:57,200 --> 01:34:00,400 Speaker 11: staying committed the whole way through, committing early and staying admitted. 2032 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,639 Speaker 14: So I owe a lot to my parents for kind 2033 01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:06,400 Speaker 14: of steering me in that direction. I always love. 2034 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:09,000 Speaker 11: Penn State, but once I got there, it's around the people, 2035 01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:13,200 Speaker 11: you know, Pennsylvania. I really consider Pennsylvania and Ohio to 2036 01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:16,840 Speaker 11: be the two spots that I really love Midwest kid 2037 01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:18,000 Speaker 11: through and through, that's for sure. 2038 01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:20,479 Speaker 6: After a record setting career at Penn State, you were 2039 01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 6: a fifth round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers. 2040 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:23,960 Speaker 6: Describe your draft experience. 2041 01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:25,519 Speaker 14: It was a crazy one. 2042 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:27,799 Speaker 11: I you know, I didn't get invited to the combine, 2043 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:30,479 Speaker 11: was counted out a bunch of different times, and then 2044 01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,679 Speaker 11: as I kind of told my story through the draft 2045 01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:34,800 Speaker 11: process the scouts and kind of worked my way up 2046 01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:38,640 Speaker 11: to to the GM level and the coaches level. I 2047 01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,559 Speaker 11: think that my story is all about heart and will 2048 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:43,600 Speaker 11: and what I can provide from a value perspective to 2049 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:44,040 Speaker 11: a team. 2050 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 14: And it's it's a day to day thing. 2051 01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 11: You know, you're gonna get my best every single day, 2052 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:53,200 Speaker 11: doesn't matter. You know, if it's if it's a Monday 2053 01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 11: or Tuesday off day, or if it's game day. You know, 2054 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,400 Speaker 11: I'm gonna give it my all because I'm I always 2055 01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:00,519 Speaker 11: like to think I'm an ultimate competitor. I want to 2056 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,680 Speaker 11: win as much as the next guy, and I'll do 2057 01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:05,640 Speaker 11: whatever it takes for my teammates to be able to 2058 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:06,400 Speaker 11: get that done. 2059 01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:08,800 Speaker 14: I think that, you know, green Bay heard that. 2060 01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:09,400 Speaker 2: I know that. 2061 01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,160 Speaker 11: In the process, Cincinnati, you know, I was talking to 2062 01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:15,839 Speaker 11: brad Our quarterback coach as well, and he even reminded 2063 01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 11: me that, you know, they weren't taking a quarterback in 2064 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:20,599 Speaker 11: the draft, but if I did slip outside of the draft, 2065 01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:22,720 Speaker 11: you know, since he was gonna try to be the 2066 01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:24,800 Speaker 11: first call that they make to get me here. So 2067 01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,360 Speaker 11: I always appreciated them. But Green Bay, you know, took 2068 01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:29,760 Speaker 11: that shot in the fifth round. You know, I was 2069 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:31,679 Speaker 11: able to back up Jay Love for a couple of years, 2070 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:33,760 Speaker 11: and I thought that the bonds that I created in 2071 01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:35,680 Speaker 11: that locker room, I have a lot of respect for 2072 01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:36,560 Speaker 11: how the Packers. 2073 01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:38,960 Speaker 14: Run their organization. It's just a it's a it's a 2074 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 14: well run show. 2075 01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 11: And I think that it really helped me early in 2076 01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 11: my career to be able to see how it's done. 2077 01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,840 Speaker 11: So that way, you know, I can bring that that 2078 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,479 Speaker 11: energy and that mindset into places like this. 2079 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,600 Speaker 6: We're visiting with Sean Clifford.

But if we win that game, 2094 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 11: in which we should have, we actually would have played 2095 01:36:38,280 --> 01:36:41,040 Speaker 11: Joe and the l S and the LSU Tigers in 2096 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:45,080 Speaker 11: in the first week of that that playoff. So I've 2097 01:36:45,080 --> 01:36:47,559 Speaker 11: always seen him as a great competitor. I've seen him 2098 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,080 Speaker 11: as somebody who you know, I have, I have a 2099 01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:54,320 Speaker 11: lot of respect for, and so you know, he provides. 2100 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:55,120 Speaker 14: So much value to that room. 2101 01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:58,040 Speaker 11: And then you add Joe Flacco in the mix, his 2102 01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,920 Speaker 11: experience and all the story that he can tell of 2103 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,400 Speaker 11: different looks and different players he's played with and how 2104 01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:04,840 Speaker 11: to scheme certain ways. 2105 01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:08,719 Speaker 14: It truly is incredible to just see the full picture. 2106 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:10,800 Speaker 11: And then you lay in and a get a guy 2107 01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,639 Speaker 11: like Jake who's done such a good job of backing 2108 01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:15,519 Speaker 11: up Joe and coming into big situations and winning games. 2109 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:17,640 Speaker 14: Very blessed to be a part of this room, and 2110 01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:18,639 Speaker 14: I think it's. 2111 01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,759 Speaker 11: Competitive, I think it's exciting, and someone that really pushes 2112 01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,680 Speaker 11: not only our room, but the players around us as 2113 01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,800 Speaker 11: well to be their best version of the selves and 2114 01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:29,879 Speaker 11: really elevate the competition. 2115 01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,559 Speaker 6: A few wild card topics now for Bengals quarterback Sean Clifford, 2116 01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,439 Speaker 6: who is your all time frint athlete in any sport. 2117 01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:40,400 Speaker 11: I think Kobe's probably for me, just because of the mindset, 2118 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:44,760 Speaker 11: the mentality, the mama mentality of I think he was 2119 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,120 Speaker 11: such a servant leader outside the community. I think that 2120 01:37:47,240 --> 01:37:49,479 Speaker 11: he did a lot as you study kind of his 2121 01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 11: life and what he did with his family. I think 2122 01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:55,400 Speaker 11: from a business perspective, he did so much off the 2123 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 11: field that really really left a mark. From a community perspective, 2124 01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 11: he was always pouring back into kids and being able 2125 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,800 Speaker 11: to to really give back to that community. But then 2126 01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:05,680 Speaker 11: when you turn on the tape and you watch him 2127 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,960 Speaker 11: in a game, he turns into a complete nutter savage, 2128 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,240 Speaker 11: and I think that that's I think that there's time 2129 01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:12,400 Speaker 11: and place for all that. You know, I think that 2130 01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,000 Speaker 11: you have to be an upstanding, an up stay, and 2131 01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:17,280 Speaker 11: a citizen and a good man in the community, and 2132 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:19,920 Speaker 11: I always try to be that, especially now being back 2133 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:22,280 Speaker 11: in the community that gave me so much. But really 2134 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,000 Speaker 11: for for a guy like that, you know, when when 2135 01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,960 Speaker 11: when it's time to play ball, I think it. You know, 2136 01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:29,680 Speaker 11: there is a switch that you can turn on and 2137 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:31,840 Speaker 11: it's okay to to kind of get aggressive in that 2138 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,559 Speaker 11: situation because you know, all that hard work and dedication 2139 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 11: that you put. 2140 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:37,960 Speaker 14: In to be able to to win and to you know, 2141 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:41,679 Speaker 14: have the chance to win. It's it's it's meaningful. 2142 01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,679 Speaker 6: Penn State famously wears the most plain uniforms in college football, 2143 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:50,640 Speaker 6: perhaps all of sports. So bland that they're cool or 2144 01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:51,599 Speaker 6: time for an update. 2145 01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 14: Oh they're cool. 2146 01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:55,800 Speaker 11: I'm an old school type guy anyway, so I don't 2147 01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:58,479 Speaker 11: think that they need any sort of update. I've always 2148 01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:01,560 Speaker 11: appreciated the tradition, and I think that you know, I 2149 01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,800 Speaker 11: I grew up watching I wasn't a huge NFL guy 2150 01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:07,000 Speaker 11: until I really started fall in love with the Bengals, 2151 01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:13,799 Speaker 11: but I always appreciated watching college ball and specifically college players, 2152 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,559 Speaker 11: and I just always loved I followed a lot of Nordame, 2153 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:20,720 Speaker 11: traditional program, you know, with a lot of a lot 2154 01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:23,559 Speaker 11: of good guys, good community guys. And I don't think 2155 01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:26,519 Speaker 11: I I knew the importance of that when I was 2156 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,560 Speaker 11: just a kid. You know, you're just watching them be 2157 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:32,200 Speaker 11: busy they're on TV. But you know, I followed some 2158 01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 11: some some great players just because I was just attracted 2159 01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,200 Speaker 11: to the way that they held themselves. 2160 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:40,720 Speaker 14: And I think that you find that at Penn State. 2161 01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:42,479 Speaker 14: I think you find that in a urdame. You find 2162 01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:43,200 Speaker 14: it at. 2163 01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 11: Schools that are traditional. So to answer your question, long 2164 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,200 Speaker 11: story short, Yeah, I love the uniforms. 2165 01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:49,000 Speaker 3: All right. 2166 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,599 Speaker 6: Final fun fact for Sean Clifford. This one's kind of deep. 2167 01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 6: If you could meet anybody in history, living or deceased, 2168 01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 6: who would that person be. 2169 01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:00,519 Speaker 11: You know, I'm a Christian man and I think that 2170 01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 11: Jesus would be somebody who I love to meet. You know, 2171 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,599 Speaker 11: I think that it's He's the ultimate messenger and he's 2172 01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:11,120 Speaker 11: the ultimate, you know, warrior when it came to doing 2173 01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:14,560 Speaker 11: good in this world. And I think that the conversations 2174 01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,000 Speaker 11: that you know, I would have and will have one 2175 01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:20,200 Speaker 11: day in my in my opinion, will be magical and 2176 01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:24,240 Speaker 11: really life changing. So, you know, always trying to dive 2177 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,040 Speaker 11: into the word and finding different ways to talk to 2178 01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:30,799 Speaker 11: him in different ways, but having an actual sit down conversation, 2179 01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:32,320 Speaker 11: maybe over at dinner, it would be really cool. 2180 01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,040 Speaker 6: Sean, appreciate your time. It's great to have you on 2181 01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:37,280 Speaker 6: your hometown team.

And last week he gave the 2198 01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:31,479 Speaker 2: captains he said, look, were later in the season, we 2199 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:33,880 Speaker 2: could lighten up the load today and go inside. What 2200 01:41:33,960 --> 01:41:35,880 Speaker 2: do you think And they said, no, we want full 2201 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:38,639 Speaker 2: practice outdoors.

Last 2206 01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:53,160 Speaker 2: week on their standard day off. Forty one guys showed 2207 01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:55,559 Speaker 2: up on the standard day off. And the whole point 2208 01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:58,000 Speaker 2: of the piece was they have bought into hook line 2209 01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 2: and sinker and what Mike Vrabel is instilling in that team, 2210 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,680 Speaker 2: and they're getting the results and and they're rolling right now. 2211 01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 3: They are they are, they're they're probably the hottest team 2212 01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:09,800 Speaker 3: in the National Football League. And uh, you know, you're 2213 01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:12,479 Speaker 3: gonna give a lot of credit to Mike Vrabel. And 2214 01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:16,400 Speaker 3: there's nothing like winning, yep, I mean, winning makes the 2215 01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,880 Speaker 3: labors of us all no question. Mike Rabel could say, 2216 01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,920 Speaker 3: you know, I want you to on Wednesdays, I want 2217 01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,680 Speaker 3: you to put your helmet on and look through the 2218 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,280 Speaker 3: year hole. We're going to do that every Wednesday, and 2219 01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 3: that's how we're going to practice. And and uh, you know, 2220 01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:33,640 Speaker 3: if you win it eight or nine in a row, 2221 01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:34,960 Speaker 3: that's that's all good. 2222 01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:37,320 Speaker 8: So the the. 2223 01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:39,160 Speaker 2: Teams. 2224 01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:43,439 Speaker 3: Football teams are creatures of habit, and when you establish 2225 01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:47,439 Speaker 3: good habits, you're gonna win football games. That's usually the case. 2226 01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:50,320 Speaker 3: And and that's the case for the New England Patriots. 2227 01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,599 Speaker 3: They have turned things around very very quickly. And it's 2228 01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:55,920 Speaker 3: always about the quarterback in the National Football league, and 2229 01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:57,639 Speaker 3: they get a young quarterback by the name of Drake 2230 01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:00,599 Speaker 3: May who's lighting it up. Man. He is playing at 2231 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,880 Speaker 3: a very very high level. I mean Tom Brady set 2232 01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:07,320 Speaker 3: a high bar in New England. I mean every quarterback 2233 01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:09,280 Speaker 3: is always going to be like, oh jeez, in the 2234 01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:11,519 Speaker 3: shadow of Tom Brady, how do I crawl out of 2235 01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,960 Speaker 3: that shadow? Drake May seems to be extremely poised. I 2236 01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 3: mean nothing, nothing seems to rattle this kid. He seems very, 2237 01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:25,479 Speaker 3: very unflappable. So it's the Patriots have a lot of 2238 01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,880 Speaker 3: things really going for him. And when you when you 2239 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:32,639 Speaker 3: look at their roster, the starting lineups offensively and defense, 2240 01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,920 Speaker 3: there's not a whole lot of names you say, oh 2241 01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,320 Speaker 3: my god, this is a three time Pro bowler. You 2242 01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:39,719 Speaker 3: know this guy they got. I mean, it's it's guys, 2243 01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:42,720 Speaker 3: you know. But they're they're good football players, and they're 2244 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 3: playing collectively, you know, Synergy one plus one equals three. 2245 01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:50,040 Speaker 3: They're playing at such a high level. And I think 2246 01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:54,719 Speaker 3: part of it is the you know, the intangible of yeah, Rabel, 2247 01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:56,880 Speaker 3: we know we got the best coach in the league. 2248 01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,880 Speaker 3: We know we're better than every other team in the NFL, 2249 01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:02,120 Speaker 3: and that regard. So let's go win games. 2250 01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:08,120 Speaker 2: Drake May is completing seventy one point nine. I mean 2251 01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,320 Speaker 2: there was a time where I mean sixty one was like, 2252 01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:13,320 Speaker 2: well you got to throw it complete at least sixty 2253 01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,599 Speaker 2: percent in the league in a time. And now he's 2254 01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:18,120 Speaker 2: at seventy one point too. That that's like a video 2255 01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:18,800 Speaker 2: game number. 2256 01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 5: It is. 2257 01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:22,280 Speaker 3: I mean that that's that's like Tom Brady. It's like 2258 01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:23,160 Speaker 3: a Brady number. 2259 01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:24,760 Speaker 11: He is. 2260 01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 3: He is playing it up in. 2261 01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,200 Speaker 2: Twenty only five interceptions as well. 2262 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that ratio is outstanding. I mean, this kid's not 2263 01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:36,880 Speaker 3: playing like your typical rookie. There's no no question about it. 2264 01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 3: And uh, you know he's he's definitely the leader of 2265 01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:42,560 Speaker 3: the pack in the Boston fans. I grew up in 2266 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:47,360 Speaker 3: the Boston area, fifteen miles northeast of Boston, Massachusets, and 2267 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 3: I know how those fans can be. So Drake May 2268 01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:53,519 Speaker 3: is the toast of the town right now. But that 2269 01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:57,880 Speaker 3: can change quickly, yes, But but he is, he's doing things. 2270 01:44:58,040 --> 01:44:59,639 Speaker 3: He's doing everything the right way. 2271 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:01,479 Speaker 7: All right, we come back final segment. 2272 01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:03,599 Speaker 2: I must ask you to go back in the time 2273 01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:07,439 Speaker 2: machine to this date nineteen seventy five for Monday Night football. 2274 01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,320 Speaker 2: The Bengals and the Bills.

What a night that must have been. 2286 01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,280 Speaker 3: It was incredible and we end up with a twelve 2287 01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:52,320 Speaker 3: and four record. We went to eight and one, and 2288 01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:56,360 Speaker 3: that's after that particular game, and it was Monday night 2289 01:45:56,479 --> 01:46:01,759 Speaker 3: football in Cincinnati and Dandy Don and the Gifford Frank 2290 01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:06,679 Speaker 3: Gifford and Howard co sal it was it was amazing. 2291 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:11,640 Speaker 3: The the energy in that stadium was was nuts. And 2292 01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:15,240 Speaker 3: literally the best running back in the National Football League 2293 01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:17,679 Speaker 3: O Jay Simpson and in my mind, the best national 2294 01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:21,040 Speaker 3: quarterback in the National Football League Kenny Anderson had a 2295 01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:23,680 Speaker 3: duel at the OK Corral. Man, I mean they had 2296 01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,080 Speaker 3: a shootout in thirty three, twenty four. I mean that 2297 01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:29,920 Speaker 3: was there was a lot of offense, and I'm sure, 2298 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:32,479 Speaker 3: I'm sure the network was excited as hell to have 2299 01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,800 Speaker 3: that kind of a game because that was the hype. 2300 01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,519 Speaker 3: You know, you got, you got explosive offensive football teams 2301 01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:42,360 Speaker 3: coming coming in to do do battle and matchup and 2302 01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 3: and and they did. It lived up to its billing. 2303 01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,400 Speaker 3: A lot of times you get the hype and the 2304 01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:50,320 Speaker 3: game doesn't live up to the billing. You know, Uh, 2305 01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:52,240 Speaker 3: this one, this one more than. 2306 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:55,760 Speaker 2: Did Isaac Curtis seven catches for one hundred and thirty 2307 01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:58,720 Speaker 2: nine yards, Chip Meyers seven catches for one hundred and 2308 01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:03,160 Speaker 2: eight yards. Arlie Joiner five catches for ninety yards. Holy cow, 2309 01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:03,800 Speaker 2: what a trio. 2310 01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:06,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he got two over one hundred yards 2311 01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,760 Speaker 3: and one at ninety that and that's you know, that's 2312 01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:14,639 Speaker 3: obviously the most of the four forty seven that Kenny 2313 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:18,600 Speaker 3: Anderson uh threw four. But I mean Chip Myers was 2314 01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:23,200 Speaker 3: a big, tall, tough He was a cowboy, went to 2315 01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:27,160 Speaker 3: University Wyoming. I mean he literally he literally bulldog Steers 2316 01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:29,800 Speaker 3: and stuff like that, you know, I mean, he was 2317 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,000 Speaker 3: he was something else. He ended up coaching in the 2318 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:34,960 Speaker 3: National Football League as well, and uh and had a 2319 01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,400 Speaker 3: had a great career in that and that side of it. 2320 01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,720 Speaker 3: Charlie Joiner was the thing I remember about Charlie. He 2321 01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:47,439 Speaker 3: made this sound when he was running sprints routes. Sounded 2322 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:51,840 Speaker 3: like a human typewriter. It's like, Oh, there he is, 2323 01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:53,880 Speaker 3: he's he's breaking free. There's Charlie. 2324 01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:55,080 Speaker 2: It was. 2325 01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:57,960 Speaker 3: It was great, but it and he was. He wasn't 2326 01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,760 Speaker 3: the biggest guy. I don't think. I don't think he 2327 01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:02,920 Speaker 3: was six feet tall. If he was, he was barely 2328 01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:06,000 Speaker 3: six feet tall. But man, he played large and he 2329 01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,559 Speaker 3: was a great teammate. And that's the thing. I mean, 2330 01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:12,360 Speaker 3: when you have success and you win games, it's easy, 2331 01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:14,560 Speaker 3: you know, in hindsight, it's like they had to have 2332 01:48:14,720 --> 01:48:17,519 Speaker 3: good attitudes. Yeah, and everybody did. You know, Paul Brown 2333 01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:21,320 Speaker 3: did a great job of, you know, picking talent from 2334 01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,800 Speaker 3: the collegiate level that was going to mesh in the 2335 01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:26,920 Speaker 3: National Football League. And he knew what he wanted. He knew, 2336 01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:30,200 Speaker 3: you know, he had Isaac Curtis, the speed guy, and 2337 01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,400 Speaker 3: then the other two were guys that could work off 2338 01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,240 Speaker 3: the speed of Isaac Curtis, very very effectively. 2339 01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:37,200 Speaker 2: Well, that was a fun way to end it.
