Lance McAllister, Dave Lapham and Dave. Last week, 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: at this time we were discussing a shutout loss that 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 2: eliminated the Bengals. We were wondering how they would respond. 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: This week, there were storylines around Zach and Joe, and 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: there was going to be a big weather difference, and 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: you add it all up and I give to you. 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: Probably if you looked in the dictionary under complimentary football, 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: it would probably say see yesterday's game in Miami. 20 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: No question about at Lance. I mean that that sums 21 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 3: it up right there. Your your comments are right on point. 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: They did. They went down and they took care of 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: business against the Miami Dolphins. There's no question about that. 24 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 3: And you know one all three phases did their job. 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 3: As Paul Brown used to say, do your job. You know, 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 3: you don't have to do anything more. You don't do 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: anything less, and please don't do anything less. Just do 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: what you're supposed to do, how you're supposed to do it. 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 3: Be where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: be there, all those good things. It was complimentary football 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 3: at his finest, as you mentioned, and you know, really 32 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: the star, the guy who basically led the troops led 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: to pack Joe Burrow completed seventy three percent of his passes. 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: That's Kenny Anderson. Like I mean, that is pinpoint accuracy, 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: three hundred and nine yards passing, four touchdowns, no interceptions, 36 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: quarterback rating a one forty six point five. I mean, 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: amongst the best of his career. And then he had 38 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: he utilized multiple weapons. That was the other thing. I mean, 39 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: they attacked the Miami Dolphins every way they could be 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: attacked and Jamar Chase at eleven targets, nine catches, hundred 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 3: and nine yards. T Higgins targeted three times fifty three 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 3: yards three catches. He averaged over seventeen yards seventeen point 43 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: seven per reception. Kasiki got in the mix. He threw 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: the football to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 45 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: Ten different receivers caught a pass of his of his 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: thirty or twenty five completions to ten different receivers. That's 47 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: that's spraying the ball around, man. That's that's attacking every 48 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: quadrant of the football field. That's seeing the field. An 49 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 3: offensive line gave him time to see the field. And 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: when you give Joe Burrow time to survey the field, 51 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: he'll pick your part. And he picked the Dolphins apart. 52 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: And defensively to create It's one to create turnovers, but 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: back to the complimentary point of turnovers into points. They 54 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 2: get a fumble, they turn into a touchdown, interception into 55 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 2: a touchdown, they get a fourth down stop, they turn 56 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: it into a touchdown, they get another interception, turn it 57 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: into a touchdown. That's all you could ask for. I mean, 58 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 2: that's perfection right there. On offensive defense helping each other out. 59 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, in the defense. Those four turnovers you're talking about 60 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: all the current the third quarter, you know, I mean, 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 3: Miami runs three plays game, six yards funnels of football, 62 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: Bengals score touchdown. Miami goes three plays and they don't 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: gain a yard, interception, score a touchdown, and then six 64 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: plays twenty eight yards they gain big, big drive there. 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: They average over four yards of play and lose the 66 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: ball on downs fourth down, stop, one play, throw an interception, 67 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: game no yards. Obviously, I mean that that defensive third 68 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: quarter historic. I'm not sure any team in the NFL 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: has ever done that. The opposition gets four drives, they've 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: turned it over four times, and you score twenty four 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: points out of that bad boy crazy. 72 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: And last week we're talking about the Bengals getting into 73 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: Ravens territory not being able to score yesterday after the 74 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: ninety one yeard touchdown drive. They have TD drives of 75 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: fifty six, thirty four, thirty five, fifty three, fifty two. 76 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: Talking about making it easier on your. 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: Offense, Absolutely, those turnovers gave the Bengals offense short fields, 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: you know, and the Bengals offense capitalized. I mean again, 79 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 3: it's like one you know, one phase fit one one 80 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: unit supporting the other. The defense says, here's the takeaway. 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: The offense says, fine, thank you, appreciate it very much. Touchdown. 82 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: And you know, they kept doing that, they kept supporting 83 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: each other. Early on in Bengals scored their first drive, 84 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: and then Miami scores and their first their first two drives, 85 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: and the Bengals score field goal on their second drive 86 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: fourteen to ten. And it's it's kind of a you know, 87 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: seesaw game back and forth in the first half. Well 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: played game, good game. Then in the third quarter, man 89 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: all hell broke loose, positively for the Bengals, negatively for 90 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: the Dolphins. 91 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: Boy, and we talked going in about their fine running 92 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: back eight Chan, who makes a lot of people miss 93 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: and had racked up yards, and he made a couple 94 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: of Bengals miss on a run early, the forty eight 95 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: yard touchdown run. But if you take that out, yeah, 96 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: if my butler math is right, if you take that 97 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: one playout the rest of the defense. He ran twenty 98 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: six times and they allowed just eighty one yards when 99 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 2: it was all said and done, minus that big run. 100 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Dolphins came in running the football well, 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: I mean their running attack was the thing they were 102 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: hanging their hat on. And twenty eight carries as a 103 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: football team for one hundred and twenty nine yards four 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 3: point six carry. The Bengals ground game was decent. I'm 105 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: not going to say it was stellar. It wasn't Hall 106 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: of Fame material or anything, but twenty six carries on 107 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: the day one hundred and five yards average four per carry, 108 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: Chase brown Man five and a half few yards per carry, 109 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: and as long as Carrie was was was twelve yards. 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: He had sixty six yards wrestling, so he consistently hammered 111 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: it in there and got yards after contact, yards after 112 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: initial contact, and he held onto the football he'd had. 113 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: He's a complete back. Talked to him in the locker 114 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 3: room after the game and mentioned that, you know, there 115 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: aren't many of those in the National Football League, and 116 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: he's very prideful of the fact that he's one of them. 117 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: He runs it effectively, inefficiently, he can catch the football, 118 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: and he's got really good soft hands. He runs excellent 119 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 3: routes and man blitz pick up. He sticks his nose 120 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 3: right in the chest and picks the linebacker safeties up 121 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: and gives Joe Burrow time. 122 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: All right, let's get reaction after the game. Here's Dave 123 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: with the coach, Zach Taylor. 124 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 4: I'm proud. 125 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 5: I'm not surprised by a response. I'm proud of the 126 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 5: response because you know, to be in this situation we're 127 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 5: in right now, come down here to vacation weather. 128 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 6: For everything feels good. I've coached here. 129 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 5: I've seen a lot of teams fall flat coming out 130 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 5: and for our guys respond and play complete game in 131 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 5: all three phases, especially the way they controlled the second half. 132 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 5: Defense came out and got four turnovers to start the 133 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 5: second half. Offense scored four touchdowns to start the second half. 134 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 5: Special teams was unbelievable with field position, everyboney's out there 135 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 5: playing loose, having fun making plays. It was really really 136 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 5: good to see. 137 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: I don't think i've ever seen a third quarter like 138 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: your team put together today. I mean, three takeaways, stop 139 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 3: on four down, you score three touchdowns, kick a field goal. 140 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: I mean that's total dominance. That was a butt kicking, 141 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: and that's a pretty damn good football team. The Miami Dolphins, 142 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: they're pretty solid. 143 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 6: They are. 144 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 5: They've got good talent, they've got a great coaching staff. 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 5: They've had a tough season, like we have, you know, 146 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 5: but we knew this was going to be a battle 147 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 5: coming in. 148 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 6: We have a ton of. 149 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 5: Respect for him, and I was I was probably with 150 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 5: the responsor guys had. 151 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: Talk about coaching staffs, let's talk about yours.

I think that's 210 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: a seventy three percent completion percentage or something thereabouts. Three 211 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 3: hundred and nine yards passing, four touchdowns, no interceptions. That's 212 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: a that's a hell of a hell of a stat line. 213 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 3: What did you see out there? What were the Miami 214 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: Dolphins trying to do? 215 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 4: Well? 216 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 10: They played a little single high early and t got 217 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 10: him out of it. He had two big plays early on. 218 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 10: That's kind of set the tone for the rest of 219 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 10: the game. And then we just got a lot of 220 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 10: soft zone after that. So then after that we just 221 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 10: started dinking and duncan and making plays after the catch. 222 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: The third quarter, you ever been part of a third 223 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: quarter like that? I mean the defense just turned them 224 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: over three times. They had a stop on fourth down. 225 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: I mean they didn't score a point, and you guys 226 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: scored I think it was twenty four three touchdowns and 227 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 3: kicked a field goal. I mean, you've ever been in 228 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: a quarter as dominant is that one. 229 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 10: Defense is making plays like that. You have a short field, 230 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 10: you gotta convert. You know, we were able to convert 231 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 10: on on all four of those opportunities, So that felt great. 232 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 10: But it's fun watching these these young defensive players find 233 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 10: their groove and keep getting better. 234 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 3: You mentioned the team played well, got them out of 235 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: that cover one. Your your running mate Jamar Chase was 236 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: outstanding again, But I mean he's outstanding every week. The guy, 237 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: the guy is the best. He's the best in the league. 238 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: Having a one to two punch like that, what does 239 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 3: that do for your offense? 240 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: It just opens everything up. 241 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 10: You know, they really defenses have to build their game 242 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 10: plan around those guys, and we know that and they 243 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 10: know that, and so we can execute plays based on that. 244 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: And we have everything in our back. 245 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 10: Pocket, know what to get to when you know we 246 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 10: face all these different kinds of coverages. We faced basically 247 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 10: everyone that you could see over the last four or 248 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 10: five years. 249 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 4: And you know, we've done a good job building. 250 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 10: The packages to attack all these certain coverages that we 251 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 10: see based on those two guys. 252 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: T Higgins big, strong, physical athletic, Ron Rouse catch the football, 253 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: will block uh T Jamar Chase same thing. You've known 254 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: him since since the college days. I mean the guys, 255 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 3: in my opinion, the best receiver in the National Football League, 256 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: yosiv Andre Yosi vash coming into his own. He's starting 257 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: to make plays for your Joe. I mean, you're you're 258 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: going to him. You have trust and confidence in Yosi, 259 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: and then Kisiki. I mean that's four weapons right there. 260 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: And then forget I mean you can't forget about Chase 261 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 3: Brown checking it down to him out of the backfield. 262 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: I mean Tanner Hudson. 263 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, we have so many We have so many weapons 264 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 10: and guys that fit into so many different roles on 265 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 10: this team and really embrace their role and they're not 266 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 10: going to try to be something that they aren't, and 267 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 10: so they're going to attack that every day and work 268 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 10: hard to try to build that role within the offense. 269 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 10: And you know, we have so many guys to just 270 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 10: make plays when they have opportunities. 271 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: And finally, Joe, you mentioned your coaches put together great 272 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 3: game plans for you guys, you know, every week in 273 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 3: order to take advantage of all the all the talent 274 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 3: and weapons that you've got. Talk about your coaches a 275 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: little bit. 276 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, obviously there's a lot said about this team in 277 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 10: this organization, and they did those coaches, but you know, 278 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 10: nobody works harder than those guys to put us in 279 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 10: good spots to go and execute. I think we have 280 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 10: some of the best coaches in the NFL. I think 281 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 10: the game plans that we put together put us in 282 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 10: a great spot to succeed. 283 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: Couldn't agree with you more. Joe as always appreciate you. 284 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: Thanks for your time. 285 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, love Joe Burrow after the game. And Dave, 286 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: he did so many things well and such stark contrast 287 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: to last week, I think was his second lowest quarterback 288 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: rating game of his career. Yesterday was his second best 289 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: of his career, and just so many things that he does. 290 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: I hope people fully appreciate that. 291 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: The kind of the. 292 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: Broken play the created and find Drew Sample. It looked 293 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: like for a second he was just going to throw 294 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: it away. Nothing was there that Drew Sample's bailable. He 295 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: throws to Drew Sample. And it's just the essence of 296 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. 297 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 9: He's so dang good. 298 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 6: He is. 299 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: Man, he's good hitting. My opinion, he's the best in 300 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 3: the National Football League. And like you said, when he 301 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: starts extending and creating plays as many times as he 302 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 3: did yesterday's football game, you got problems. If you were 303 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: a defensive coordinator. It's like it doesn't matter what defense 304 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: you play, because at some point in time, you know, 305 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: okay with the coverage, and then if the protection is 306 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 3: good enough, Joe's running around, extending, creating, and now you 307 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: know the offense knows where what they're gonna do. They 308 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: do scramble drills, they have scrambled drills, and Joe Burrow 309 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 3: knows exactly where his receivers are gonna go. He's been 310 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: doing it with Chase Brown since college. I mean, these 311 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: guys read each other's mind when when the play breaks down, 312 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 3: and that's when the Bengals offense can really cook. And 313 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 3: they've made a lot of big plays over the years, 314 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,119 Speaker 3: extending and creating plays. 315 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: He played it his seventy fifth career game yesterday, and 316 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: among all players in history through seventy five games, Joe 317 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: Burrow ranks first in completion, third in touchdowns, and fifth 318 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: in passing yards of all quarterbacks through their first seventy 319 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: five games. And I compare in contrast and think of 320 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: the situation in Miami where they don't they're gonna probably 321 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: move on from Tua and coming up this week, Arizona 322 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: and Kyler Murray and they don't know what to do 323 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: with Kyler Murray and Las Vegas and the Jets in 324 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: so many different places. And I think of here and 325 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: how this franchise in this city has a quarterback. What 326 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: a luxury compared to a lot of markets that just 327 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing at that position. 328 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know. And I was listening to Sports Center 329 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: a little bit this morning before we came in to 330 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: do the show here, and man, I'll tell you a 331 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: lot of analysts we're talking as a group there were 332 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: three of the modern panel and they said, you know, 333 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: when you have a head coach, you have a quarterback, 334 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: you have a chance to be a dominant franchise in 335 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 3: the National Football League. The Bengals feel like they have 336 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: their coach. A lot of fans may disagree. I think 337 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: Zach Taylor is an extraordinary offensive mind. Joe Burrow does. 338 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow has gone to bat for Zach Taylor many times, 339 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: and he really believes in Zach Taylor in his offensive 340 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: structure and how he attacks defenses in the National Football League. So, 341 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: I mean, the Bengals do have pieces. They really do. 342 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 3: I mean, and the two biggest pieces are head coach 343 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: and quarterback. They've got two receivers that are number ones, 344 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: really one in one a with the Bengals, but number ones. 345 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 3: If if t Higgins were with another football team, he'd 346 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: be a number one receiver by far. Mike Kasicki and 347 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 3: the tight end group is a good one. They can 348 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 3: all do different things. Some ones that more extraordinary blocker 349 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: than receiving. The other one is a better receiver than 350 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: a blocker, and sick he's kind of able to do both. 351 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 3: So they have all all bases covered and then we've 352 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: talked about Chase Brown. You know out of the backfield, SAMJ. 353 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: P Ryan another weapon, can run it, catch it. They're 354 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: stacked offensively, got some pieces to accumulate defensively, and watch 355 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: out in twenty twenty six. 356 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: Well hear more from Chase Brown as we continue.

They were 377 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 11: not only getting turnovers, they were getting them quickly. 378 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 12: Yeah, no, it was it was I was standing there, 379 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 12: I'm like, did you just get the ball back again? 380 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 13: I'm sprinting of in my helmet. 381 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 8: So yeah, they definitely called me by surply. 382 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 14: Sometimes when the last time you scored three touchdowns in 383 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 14: one quarter, I'm sorry, it's happened. 384 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 15: Never maybe like little league maybe. 385 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 12: But that's a My last three touchdown game was Illinois 386 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 12: against Wyoming, I think, not in one quarter, but in 387 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 12: a cool game. 388 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 14: What was going through your mind when when that happens? 389 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 14: You have to touchdown catches, you have the touchdown run 390 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 14: and suddenly. 391 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 12: I'm really like, do you hear the play? And it's 392 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 12: either going to you or it's not. So it's like 393 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 12: trying nextually, the best, the play the best I can. 394 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 11: No points last week, forty five points this week. How 395 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 11: determined were you guys during the course of this week 396 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 11: at practice to show who you really are on offense. 397 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 13: We we took it personal, so we had to respond 398 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 13: this week. 399 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 11: Good balance. Joe threw four touchdown passes. Obviously, the running 400 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 11: game got better and better as the game went along. 401 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 11: Did it feel like, all right, this is what this 402 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 11: offense can do when it's clicking. 403 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 12: Definitely, when everything's firing and all cylinders. 404 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 6: I mean, we're we're gonna score a lot of points. 405 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 13: So it's all good to go out and do that today. 406 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 12: It's just building momentum, even though you know our season 407 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 12: is gonna end not the way that we wanted it to, 408 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 12: but you know we can still finish off on a positive. 409 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 6: Nope, it's great to have Tea back. 410 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 11: Obviously, two big plays early in the game, it just 411 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 11: kind of reinforced, at least in my mind, the impact 412 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 11: that he can have when he's available. 413 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, she's a great player. 414 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 12: If he's one of the best receivers, if not the best, 415 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 12: we got both of them. 416 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 8: We have two of the best receivers in the NFL, 417 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 8: right there. 418 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 12: That's the only way to put it. So yeah, I mean, 419 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 12: she's always gonna make a play. I'm not surprised anytime 420 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 12: I see a fifty fifty jump ball. It's not fifty 421 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 12: to fifty, it's like ninety ten. So he's a great player. 422 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 11: Does a game like this leave you wanting more like 423 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 11: almost wishing that you know, there were more games left, 424 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 11: so you guys could ultimately get me where you want 425 00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 11: to be. 426 00:19:59,240 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 4: You're long. 427 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 12: Maybe if we could play, Yeah, we could play all 428 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 12: year long without getting hurt in our bodies. 429 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 8: Like we're able to take it. 430 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 13: I mean I would. So we're gonna miss. 431 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 11: Feels good and Grat's not a great game. 432 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: And Dave, you mentioned it in our earlier segment, and 433 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: it's worth going back to. Not only does he have 434 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 2: the TV run, he has the two TD catches. He 435 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: had a really nice protection block to help Joe keep 436 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: Joe for that split second more and that cannot be 437 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: underrated or overlooked on what he brings to this offense. 438 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean he does all the dirty work, you know. 439 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 3: And uh, a lot of guys that, you know, our 440 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: premier players in the National Football League, they think that 441 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 3: those type of things are beneath them. That's for other 442 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: people to do. 443 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 11: You know. 444 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm the star. You know, I'm gonna make 445 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 3: score touchdowns and I'm going to make big plays. I'm 446 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: going to be on all all the NFL highlights and 447 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 3: NFL highlight films, you know. But but Chase Brown is 448 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 3: a guy who just loves to play football. Every single 449 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 3: part of the game intrigues him and he wants to 450 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: excel at it. And you know, he's got a great 451 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: mindset for the game. He's got a tremendous football IQ. 452 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 3: You can do a lot of things with him. You 453 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 3: can line him up in the backfield, you can line 454 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 3: him up in the slot, you can line him up 455 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 3: as the X, you can line him up as a Z. 456 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: You know, he really is a very, very versatile guy. 457 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 3: He's a tremendous chess piece, you know. And they check 458 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 3: my defenses regularly when they involve Chase Brown the way 459 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: they do. 460 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: Eight and forty six yards rushing. To this point in 461 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: the season, he has sixty two catches. Now, he's over 462 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: twelve hundred yards from scrimmage, but those sixty two catches 463 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 2: dave now the most in a single season by Bengals 464 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: running back in franchise history. James Brooks had fifty five 465 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 2: in a season. Giovanni Bernard had fifty six in a season. 466 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 2: Joe Mixon had sixty in a season. Chase Brown was 467 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: still two games to go. Now, it's sixty two catches 468 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 2: out of. 469 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: The backfield, and you're talking about some of the greatest 470 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: receiving running backs in franchise history. You know, when you're 471 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 3: talking about James Brooks and Giovanni Bernard. Interesting Giovanni Bernard 472 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 3: was at the football game, had his little guy with 473 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: him and catching up with people, former teammates and coaches 474 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: after the game. He looked great, but he was a 475 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 3: tremendous player. And you know, Chase Brown does all of that. 476 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: Giovannie Bernard would block there, There's no question about it. 477 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 3: James Brooks would too. I mean he was a very, 478 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: very physical strong for his size pound for pound, maybe 479 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: the strongest guy I've ever seen in the weight room. 480 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 3: I saw him wrap three hundred and fifteen pounds four times. 481 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 3: He weighed like, you know, buck eighty five, Buck ninety. 482 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: So there have been some great ones in franchise history, 483 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 3: and the Bengals are blessed to have one now. 484 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: Dave, just in our first couple of segments, we've talked 485 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: about so many elements of this offense, and I think 486 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: of there there was I'm going to quote a song 487 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 2: back in the eighties by The Fix. I don't know 488 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 2: if he remembers The Fix, but it was a song 489 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: called one Thing leads to another. And in this offense, 490 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: even early that passed the t Higgins and he goes 491 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: up and high points the ball over top of the 492 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: little defensive back, and just so many different weapons lead 493 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: to so many things opening up on this offense. It's 494 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 2: like a puzzle and the pieces start to fit in 495 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: and new avenues and doors open to the offense. 496 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, you're right. 497 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I'd hate to be a defensive coordinator trying 498 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: to take everything away from this Bengals offense that you 499 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: need to worry about. You say, okay, well, Jamar Chase 500 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 3: probably one of the best, if not the best, in 501 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: the National Football League in my opinion, I've stayed many 502 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: times I think he is the best. And you say, okay, well, 503 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 3: they have to start by taking Jamaar Chase out of 504 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 3: the mix. Can't let Joe Borrow destroy us by targeting 505 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and them producing a lot of catches and 506 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: yards and touchdowns. Well, you know you do that, and 507 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: what do you have to deal with Higgins? And he 508 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 3: showed yesterday that he's deserving him being a number one 509 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 3: thirty one other teams in the NFL. Like we talked about, 510 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: he is the number one. This guy can high point 511 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 3: a football about as well. The timing to do that 512 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 3: is taken for granted sometimes because these guys are so 513 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: effective at it. But t Higgins, man, I mean I've 514 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: seen him hoop. He can shoot, and which is good. 515 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: But I mean you should see him put on a 516 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 3: dunk display. I mean he almost he dunks and almost 517 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 3: has his elbow into the you know, into the into 518 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: the rim. 519 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: Uh. 520 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: It's it's amazing how athletic these guys are. And uh, 521 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: and then you know, you take those two away, you 522 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 3: go to Gasiki, you take a sticky away, you know, 523 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 3: you go to Chase Brown. Then there's other backs to 524 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 3: worry about, other tight ends to worry about. Being coordinating 525 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 3: a defensive package against this Bengals football team offensively, with 526 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 3: Zach Taylor and Dan Pitcher being as creative as they 527 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 3: are with game plans, is no easy task.

You know, 639 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: secondary defensive line linebackers. Al Golden has to be happy 640 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: that that every single position group and individuals within those 641 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 3: position groups all showed up on the statuet. 642 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: And Dave, what I love about what feels like is 643 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: happening with Miles Murphy just in watching body language on 644 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: the field, he's feeling that the confidence and the energy. 645 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 2: He's starting to feel himself a little bit and is 646 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: more demonstrative and and that to me says he feels 647 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: like he belongs, he's producing, he feels good. And that's 648 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 2: what you were. It may have taken a while to 649 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: get to this point, but it's it's arrived and it's 650 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 2: fun to watch it is. 651 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 3: And uh, you know, I confidence is a big thing, 652 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 3: and you're right on the money there. Uh you could 653 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: almost see it. You can almost see it as the 654 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 3: game went on. In the game against the Miami Dolphins, 655 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 3: you know, hey, I got a sack. I get rewarded, 656 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 3: thought it made a good move and broke the guy down. Uh, 657 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 3: and get a sack. And then all of a sudden, 658 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 3: you know, you start to play the run a little 659 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 3: bit better, and you want to put yourself in a 660 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: situation where we can go rush the passer again. So 661 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 3: you have to stop people on first and second down 662 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 3: and be part of that run defense package. I really 663 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 3: thought yesterday that the defensive line and linebackers in secondary 664 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 3: as well, everybody played the run for al Golden as 665 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 3: well as they have all year long. I thought that 666 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 3: the defensive line did a nice job at two gap 667 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: and when they were told to do that, when they 668 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 3: were told to take an edge and penetrate, they did 669 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 3: that very well.

Yeah, there's definitely could 864 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 19: be a preview. Obviously, you know next Sea, next next 865 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,240 Speaker 19: next year's team will be the same as this team obviously, 866 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 19: but you know, yeah. 867 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 2: Definitely team with another big day. That's ten touchdown catches 868 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 2: on the season. Keep in mind that's thirteen games played, 869 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 2: miss two. That's ten touchdown catches in thirteen games. Dab 870 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 2: he has twenty touchdown catches going back to Week one 871 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 2: of last year. So that's twenty touchdown catches in the 872 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 2: last twenty five games for this team. 873 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 3: That's getting it done. It certainly is. Man, that's a 874 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 3: touchdown maker extraordinary right there. And the big reason why is, 875 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: you know a lot of those touchdowns have come not 876 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 3: all of them. I mean he had a thirty five 877 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 3: yard you know play in this football game. He but 878 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 3: his whole A big deal with him is with the 879 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 3: size that he has is a red zone target. I 880 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 3: mean he is, you know, stands out. It's it's like, 881 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 3: you know, you got another tight end out there from 882 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 3: a physical stature standpoint six four plus, you know, two 883 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 3: fifteen to two twenty ish, and you get him matched 884 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 3: up against a much smaller defensive back like what happened 885 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 3: on the touchdown pass and he had I mean Joe 886 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 3: Burrow when he sees that kind of a physical mismatch 887 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 3: like bingo, I know where I'm going with the football. 888 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 3: And then you know it's like, all right, what do 889 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 3: I do? Man? 890 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 2: This? 891 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 3: You know, there's not that much football field of defense. 892 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna play a safety deep. I'm gonna 893 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 3: have safeties closer to the line screen. I'm gonna double 894 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 3: te I'm gonna double Chase. Well then just get sick. 895 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 3: He gets in the mix. You'll see Vash gets in 896 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 3: the mix. Chase Brown gets in the mix. So they 897 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 3: have a plethora a weapons in red zone targets for 898 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow to take advantage of. And I mean they 899 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 3: are one of the best red zone offenses in the 900 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 3: entire league. 901 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 2: That the thirty five year catch he made over top 902 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 2: of the defensive back, it looked like it looked like 903 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 2: the big kid playing against the little kid in the backyard. 904 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 2: And not to demean the defensive back, he's just small 905 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 2: in stature and he just like, I'll take that. It 906 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 2: just like reached over to almost off his helmet. 907 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 3: I'll take that. 908 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 2: That's just that that power and strength and size is 909 00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 2: awfully tough to match up. 910 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 3: Again, it is remember uh, as kids, we played keep away. Yes, yeah, 911 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 3: get guys, I'll tamalize you a little bit. You know 912 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 3: you're not going to get the ball away from me. 913 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 3: Don't even think about trying. 914 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 2: And what a big week for Tea and he and 915 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: he talked about how during the week he flew to 916 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh on uh some advice from he said that the 917 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 2: front office, the folks, Abobby, he said, And and that 918 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 2: certainly had to give him peace of mind because he's 919 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 2: gone through two concussions. He'd missed time and and I 920 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 2: would imagine on that flight out there, who knows what's 921 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 2: running through your head? What what are they going to 922 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 2: tell me, am all right, I want to be all right, 923 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 2: I want to play, And clearly he got green light 924 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 2: thumbs up and had to feel really good about coming 925 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 2: back and playing. 926 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the thing, Lance, what you're saying, it's uh. 927 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 3: You know, even if you're not a football player, if 928 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 3: you you're worried about your health, it's hard to perform 929 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 3: any job, really hard to go in and focus on 930 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 3: being the best accountant in the in the world. You know, 931 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 3: if you're if you're worried about your brain shooting properly, 932 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 3: you know, and uh, or whatever occupation you may have. 933 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 3: Same with the football player, Same with T. Higgins. I'm 934 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 3: sure that there were some anxious moments for him on 935 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 3: that flight out to Pittsburgh, but jubilation and excitement about 936 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,720 Speaker 3: what he was going to be able to do against 937 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins on the flight home. 938 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 2: And you know, it's been said of Joe Burrow, Guys 939 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 2: like Joe Burrow and T their they're football players. They 940 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 2: play and you you could make the case, you could 941 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 2: make a very legitimate case when your team's eliminated and 942 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,919 Speaker 2: you've got a player who's had two concussions. 943 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 3: If T. 944 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 2: Higgins would have not played yesterday. I think most people 945 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 2: would have understood, you know what, they're out of it. 946 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: He's got he's had concussions, don't risk it. But T 947 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 2: got cleared, and T wanted to be with his teammates, 948 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: and T wanted to play football yesterday. 949 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 3: I think that's a great point, Lance, I mean tremendous point. 950 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 3: You understand the game of football, and you've been around 951 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 3: it a while here in the National Football League, and 952 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 3: Zach Taylor talked about it. Zach Taylor talked about it 953 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 3: in as pressors. Joe Burrow is going to play. You know, 954 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 3: he's been he's been nicked up, He's had a tough 955 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 3: season with respect to injury. They could have shut him down, 956 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 3: but Joe's like, no, no, I'm rehabbing, I'm coming back, 957 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna play. There's games left. T Higgins is the 958 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 3: same way, and he could have easily said, you know what, 959 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 3: I had two concussions in a very short period of time. 960 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,439 Speaker 3: That's not good. That's not healthy. My post football life. 961 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 3: I want to be able to live a normal post 962 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 3: football life and be able to do things that everybody 963 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 3: else does. Travel, have fun, you know, enjoy family and 964 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 3: all that sort of thing. So those kind of things 965 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,439 Speaker 3: definitely go through your mind. But like you said, these 966 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 3: guys love football, They love being around each other. There 967 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,880 Speaker 3: are so many good friends on this football team. The 968 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 3: relationships and bonds that have been made are gonna last 969 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,919 Speaker 3: long after the game of football is over with.

Yep, There's no 989 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 3: doubt that I'm going to get mine because I know 990 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 3: I'm better than any defensive back one on one in 991 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 3: the National Football League. And if they double me, I 992 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 3: can beat that too. 993 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 2: Let's talk defense when we come back.

I think we've been flipping back 1001 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 2: and forth offense the defense. Let's go back to the 1002 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 2: defensive side of things. Barrett Carter first career NFL interception yesterday. 1003 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 2: Here's the Bengal rookie linebacker with Dan after the game. 1004 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 11: Barrett, three takeaways in one quarter. Describe what it was 1005 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 11: like you had one of the interception. Describe what that 1006 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 11: third quarter was like for everybody on defense. 1007 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 21: Yeah, uh, just coming in at halftime, Coach Taylor just 1008 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 21: said that we needed to take the ball away and 1009 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 21: on offense, we had to keep the ball away from them. So, no, 1010 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 21: that was that's the goal that we go into every 1011 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 21: single game with to try to be at least plus 1012 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 21: two and just for us to you know, come out 1013 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 21: third quarter swing, come out swinging and they'll get the 1014 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 21: ball back to our offense was huge and create a 1015 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 21: lot of momentum for our team. 1016 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 6: So it's a I'm glad we were able to do that. 1017 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 6: We just have to keep building on that. 1018 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 11: A major challenge going into this game with stopping the 1019 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 11: running attack. They had the one long touchdown runner leave 1020 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 11: the game. Other than that three point yards per Carrie 1021 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 11: for the rest of the day. How did you guys 1022 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 11: do such a good job at stopping the run. 1023 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 21: Yeah, we always have to lock in on our keys. 1024 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 21: We knew that stopping the run was going to be 1025 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 21: the main emphasis this week, and you know. 1026 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 6: Miami, they do a great job every single week of 1027 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 6: creating a. 1028 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 21: Lot of I Kenny and it makes it very challenging 1029 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 21: for a defense. So we knew that it was gonna 1030 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,399 Speaker 21: be a big challenge for us and know we're able 1031 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 21: to step up to that challenge. 1032 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 11: Describe the excitement level of coming with your first IMT 1033 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 11: in the NFL. 1034 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm super exciting. No, I feel like I was 1035 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 6: it was long overdue. I feel like I should have 1036 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 6: had that many many weeks ago. 1037 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 21: But you know, God makes no mistakes, So I'm just 1038 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 21: glad I was able to get that for our team 1039 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 21: and you know, get the ball back to our offense. 1040 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 6: So hopefully I can just keep building on that. 1041 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,760 Speaker 11: You got your first. Jalen Davis got his first as well. 1042 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 11: He's had a nice impact since moving up from the 1043 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 11: practice squad. Describe what he's done for the defense. Yeah, 1044 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 11: JD is such a so savvy. 1045 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 21: He's been in the league for however many years has been, 1046 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 21: and you know he's been he's just been working every 1047 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 21: single day, just waiting for a shot. 1048 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 6: And we know he stepped up. He stepped up to 1049 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 6: the plate. 1050 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 21: He wasn't afraid to, you know, come in and do 1051 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 21: his thing. And you know, JD's a dog. It's an 1052 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 21: honor to get to play alongside him, and it's a 1053 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 21: he just flies around and makes play, so it's a 1054 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 21: it's a blessing to get to play with JD. 1055 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 11: It's just one of those games, parrit where you guys 1056 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 11: excelled in all three phases. Offense scores forty five, defense 1057 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 11: gets multiple takeaways. Ryan Rico had four bunchs inside the twenty. 1058 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 11: Did you feel like this was the first time that 1059 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,879 Speaker 11: you've experienced a total performance by the Bengals. 1060 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 6: I feel like it. 1061 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,720 Speaker 21: It was in bits and pieces, so there was still 1062 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 21: a lot of a lot of players left out there 1063 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 21: that you know that we need to correct in all phases. 1064 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 21: I know all guys can say that, but you know, 1065 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 21: we're we're taking We're definitely taking steps in the right direction, 1066 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 21: but it's nowhere near what we're what we're capable of 1067 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 21: doing as a team. So we just have to, you know, 1068 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 21: keep keep this momentum going, keep building on this and 1069 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 21: you know, the feeling that we have right. 1070 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 6: Now, we have to chase this feeling every. 1071 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 21: Single week and even leading into the next because we're 1072 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 21: capable of so much more. But now, when we played 1073 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 21: conflimentary football, we're capble of doing really great things and 1074 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,720 Speaker 21: that's what we showed today. 1075 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 6: But we just have to keep going on it. 1076 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 11: So nice early Christmas present for Bengals fans. Congratulations on 1077 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,879 Speaker 11: a great win. Thank you so much, appreciate that. That's 1078 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 11: linebacker Barrett Carter. 1079 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 2: Barrett Carter with the pick yesterday, and Dave. One of 1080 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,839 Speaker 2: the things that really jumped out to what they did 1081 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 2: defensively yesterday, that old saying the more you can get 1082 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 2: flying to the football, the better it is. And and 1083 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 2: Battle punched out the ball, Murphy recovered the fumble. Curd 1084 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 2: had the interception after Josh Newton knocked the ball in 1085 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 2: the air. It was tandem efforts. That's a lot of 1086 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 2: guys around the football making things happen. 1087 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 3: Great point again, Lance, they ran to the football. Well, 1088 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 3: they ran to the football defensively as a group, about 1089 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,919 Speaker 3: as well as I've seen all year long. I think 1090 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,919 Speaker 3: Al Golden was happy about it. On the bus ride 1091 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 3: to the airport, I did talk. I mentioned that to him. 1092 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 3: I said, she's coach. Almost every play when I look 1093 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 3: down there at the end of the play, there's like three, four, 1094 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 3: maybe even five defenders you know around the ball. He goes, Yeah, 1095 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 3: we've been harping on that big time. You know, run 1096 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 3: to the ball, good things will happen. You create opportunities 1097 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 3: when you run to the football, and they certainly did yesterday. 1098 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 3: So Carter is is a force in the run. He 1099 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 3: stops the run pretty well. Now if he can make 1100 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 3: himself a dual threat in terms of being able to, 1101 00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,240 Speaker 3: you know, drop back into his own and play Arizona, 1102 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 3: patrol it well and make plays on the football or 1103 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 3: cover a back out of the backfield or a tight 1104 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 3: end on a cross in the middle of the football field, 1105 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 3: and be able to run with him, which he's capable 1106 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 3: of doing. Physically, he's got He's got everything you need 1107 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 3: to be an outstanding linebacker in the National Football League. 1108 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 3: And he's one of many young players Demetrius Knight, there's 1109 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 3: a bunch of young players that are you know, Dax 1110 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 3: Hill is not super young, but he's not anywhere near 1111 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 3: the end of his career. I think he's one of 1112 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 3: the best cover guys, the best the Bengals have, and 1113 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 3: he's one of the best in the National Football League. 1114 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 3: And the other thing I thought the benk did well 1115 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 3: yesterday was they tackled and part of it was so 1116 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 3: many guys around the ball, but one guy would you know, 1117 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 3: stick his head across the bow and wrap up and 1118 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 3: take them to the ground. If he didn't quite take 1119 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 3: them on the ground two or three other guys were 1120 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 3: smacking him as he was going to the ground and 1121 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,839 Speaker 3: maybe trying to knock the ball loose. But if you're 1122 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 3: back to your point on Al Golden, if you're Ale, 1123 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 3: it's obviously been. 1124 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 2: A trying year. You've got young guys who don't always 1125 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 2: get it at the speed you need them to get it. 1126 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 2: But flashes like yesterday, if you're Al Golden, you go 1127 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 2: home and you put your head on the pillow and 1128 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 2: you're looking up and thinking, all right, there's signs here. 1129 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 9: I'll take the signs. 1130 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 2: Little things to build on one week to the next, 1131 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 2: and it's got to feel. It's got to feel good 1132 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 2: for Al to see some proof, some evidence starting to 1133 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 2: develop it. Everybody wanted it in week one and it's 1134 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 2: taken some time and there have been a lot of 1135 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 2: mistackles along the way. But if there's something they have 1136 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 2: found and guys have found some confidence at this point, 1137 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 2: that's big to carry into the offseason. 1138 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1139 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 3: I think they're confident in their coach and their coach 1140 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 3: to start and be confident in them, and that's always 1141 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 3: extremely important both ways to have the confidence. And I 1142 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 3: do think the graft's going up for the Cincinnati Bengals defensively, 1143 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 3: they are young, they are improving, and I think Al Golden, 1144 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,919 Speaker 3: you know, is excited about what it's going to look 1145 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 3: like in twenty twenty six and beyond. 1146 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 2: We mentioned the three turnovers, and I know you'll always references. 1147 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 2: They get the fourth down stop in the in the 1148 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 2: third quarter, that's as good as a turnover because he 1149 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,799 Speaker 2: gives you your offense the football back. 1150 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know. I mean, uh, you know, sometimes the 1151 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 3: turnovers don't occur at the spot of the football field 1152 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 3: we should pre further to occur. You know, sometimes the 1153 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 3: offense ends up being backed up. But you know, hey, 1154 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,879 Speaker 3: as long as you're taking away points, you're taking away 1155 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 3: opportunities to score. Okay, well, Varney, we're already in field 1156 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 3: goal range. Now we're in a chip shot field goal territory. 1157 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 3: And then you get that taken away. That has a 1158 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,359 Speaker 3: lingering effect. I mean, that's not as easy to get 1159 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,799 Speaker 3: over as people think. Players back say, oh, man, if 1160 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 3: we had done this, if we had done that, if 1161 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 3: they didn't do this, they didn't take that away from us, 1162 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 3: would have been a different game. Yeah, what should have 1163 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 3: could have It's not the way it is in the NFL. 1164 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,879 Speaker 2: Still ahead, We'll continue breaking down yesterday's game.

Is 1198 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,760 Speaker 3: a tight end? Sam Hubbard is an athlete, Sam Hubbard. 1199 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 3: That's a great fingertip catch. 1200 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 11: It was a great fingertip catch. About that spike, Was 1201 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,359 Speaker 11: that something that you had in mind or was that 1202 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 11: completely in the moment. 1203 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,400 Speaker 23: No, we had rehearsed that one. Joe was making me 1204 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 23: do them. The routes full speed and walk through pre practice, 1205 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 23: and then we had to, you know, practice a spike. 1206 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 23: Of course, I almost messed it up, getting too excited 1207 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 23: as soon as I got up, but then held it back, 1208 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 23: gathered ted and the rest of the crew, and I 1209 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 23: actually gave it a legit spike. So uh it worked out. 1210 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 23: One of the one of the coolest moments ever. I 1211 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 23: got Joe's jersey from that game, nice framed in my basement. 1212 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 9: Uh got the ball. I got the ball too. 1213 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,800 Speaker 11: Did you expect to be wide open? I mean normally 1214 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 11: I was. 1215 00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 9: Not wide open? Come on. 1216 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,320 Speaker 11: No, No, That's what I'm saying. I'm wondering if you 1217 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 11: being a defensive lineman lining up presumably to block. 1218 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1219 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 23: No, Joe told me there's going to be a guy 1220 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 23: on me, and I don't have the exact breakaway speed. 1221 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:04,120 Speaker 23: But uh, that was that, Yeah, the in traffic catch. 1222 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,720 Speaker 23: But it was a I think Zach was so confident 1223 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 23: in calling it because it was a third string or 1224 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:11,760 Speaker 23: second string linebacker. 1225 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 9: I didn't really know. So huh, take advantage, no doubt, 1226 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:16,439 Speaker 9: no doubt. 1227 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 3: Take advantage of opportunities. When an opportunity knocks, men open 1228 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 3: the door. So Moller High School, Ohio State, Cincinnati Bengals. 1229 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 3: You are the Cincinnati kid, the Ohio kid. Is it 1230 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 3: something that as you reflect back on it, you even 1231 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 3: cherished the decisions you made even more to stay local. 1232 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,839 Speaker 23: Yeah, I think so. I think that now. You know, 1233 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,280 Speaker 23: big plan since I got drafted was to to always 1234 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 23: stay local. And you know, I'm here full time and 1235 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,720 Speaker 23: want an opportunity to have the support system and everything 1236 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 23: that I had. And what makes it all the sweeter 1237 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 23: is the success we were able to have here, the 1238 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 23: energy we brought to the fan base. 1239 00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 9: And you know. 1240 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 23: If you recall that that run to the Super Bowl, 1241 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 23: what the city fell like walking around the streets for 1242 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 23: those months. I mean, I'll hold onto that time for 1243 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 23: the rest of my life, and you know, hoping for 1244 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:13,359 Speaker 23: it again here soon. 1245 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:13,959 Speaker 9: I got. 1246 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,360 Speaker 23: I got faith in our and our boys to uh 1247 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 23: to get back to the Promised Land. 1248 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 11: We worked that back when he wanted back soon. You 1249 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 11: preceded Zach Taylor. You actually started your Bengals career when 1250 00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 11: Marvin Lewis was the head coach. We had the opportunity 1251 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 11: to do a visit with Zach earlier today and I 1252 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 11: asked him about the impact you made on his career, 1253 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 11: UH to this point as the Cincinnati Bengals head coach, 1254 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 11: here's Zach Taylor. 1255 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 5: Always the guy I could count on, Always a guy 1256 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 5: that if I needed and the opinion of a player 1257 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 5: on schedule or vibe of the team, or I knew 1258 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 5: I could get Sam up there, He'd be transparent with 1259 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 5: me and as a leader, like it was fun for 1260 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 5: me to see when he finally decided, you know, realize 1261 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 5: these guys respect me and I can now talk more. 1262 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 5: I don't just have to be the lead by example 1263 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 5: guy all the time. And I think that was more 1264 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,040 Speaker 5: year two. So it was fun watching him become a 1265 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 5: captain and guys rally around him and we had the 1266 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 5: success we had, and he was a huge part of that. 1267 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 5: Fought through injuries. That's as a coach you appreciate that 1268 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 5: more than anybody, the guys that give you everything they 1269 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 5: have despite their circumstances. And Sam was the number one 1270 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 5: example of all that. And so that's that was always 1271 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,320 Speaker 5: meant a lot to me to know that Sam was 1272 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 5: gonna we'll have the off season surgery, but I'm playing 1273 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 5: and doing everything I came to play. So that was 1274 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 5: that was great, and I you know, for him to 1275 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 5: he was on me for years to catch a pass, 1276 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 5: and so first career to end on that play. It 1277 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 5: was very fitting, you know, it really was, and it 1278 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 5: I don't obviously don't want his career to end on 1279 00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 5: an injury, but I think it was. I can say 1280 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 5: this without feeling stupid, like it was a cool way 1281 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 5: for him in his career. You got to go in 1282 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,960 Speaker 5: and run one route all season. He kind of touched 1283 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 5: up past contested catch from his college roommate. 1284 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 7: Pretty cool. 1285 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:15,439 Speaker 15: That was cool. 1286 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,000 Speaker 11: I think he's right. It was cool. Were you on 1287 00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 11: him in fact for years to catch a pass? 1288 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 9: No, that was pretty cool. I didn't you asked him that. 1289 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 23: I was definitely, you know, in his year, I you know, 1290 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 23: jokingly because of my great reps as a rookie fullback. 1291 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 23: I was like, hey, you know, I'm ready, let's do 1292 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 23: it and go. And you know, when it comes down to, hey, 1293 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 23: here's the play we're calling it, it's a whole different ballgame. 1294 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 9: You get much more nervous. 1295 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 23: And you're like, I don't know if I actually want 1296 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 23: this and drop it here. 1297 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 9: But I got to give credit to Zach. He you know, 1298 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 9: he did. 1299 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 23: You know, he really made that happen, and it was 1300 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 23: turned the momentum in that game. But Zach, you know, 1301 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,320 Speaker 23: I he did so much for me in my career. 1302 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,320 Speaker 23: Have so much respect for him and how he's handled, 1303 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,479 Speaker 23: you know, tough situations from you know, twenty nineteen till now. 1304 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,240 Speaker 23: You know, I can't say enough good things about Zach 1305 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 23: and how he goes about his business. 1306 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 9: Also watching you know, he watched my evolution. 1307 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 23: I watched his evolution from a first time head coach 1308 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 23: to where he is now. 1309 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 9: I think that he's learned. 1310 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,479 Speaker 23: He's all you know, he journals and writes everything down 1311 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 23: and really reflects and gets better every year.

But I thought Dan's question to Zach 1316 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 2: about what Sam meant to the team, And then when 1317 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 2: Zach explained that Zach was a guy he could go 1318 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 2: to and if he needed to measure the pulse of 1319 01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 2: the team, or if they should change a practice time 1320 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 2: or how they should do something in camp, Sam was 1321 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 2: the guy he turned to because he knew Sam had 1322 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 2: an understanding of that locker room and the guys in 1323 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,600 Speaker 2: that room had an appreciation for him, and I thought 1324 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 2: that just spoke volumes about the regard that this organization 1325 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 2: holds Sam Hubbard in. 1326 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 3: I agree. You know, uh, the Cincinnati kid man Yep 1327 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 3: Moller High School, Ohio State up the road. You know, 1328 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 3: Paul Brown made his mark there, so Mike Brown loves 1329 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,439 Speaker 3: Ohio State players. And then here with the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, 1330 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 3: I do think that that that Zach Taylor and his 1331 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 3: coaching staff knows that Sam Hubbard has a finger on 1332 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 3: the pulse of the franchise in terms of the players. 1333 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,720 Speaker 3: Every single player in that locker room, he likes and 1334 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 3: respects and trusts Sam Hubbard. So they'll tell him things. 1335 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,959 Speaker 3: They'll tell them things that are bothering them. They'll tell 1336 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 3: him things that they like, you know, and prefer to 1337 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 3: do it this way. Maybe we can tweak it and 1338 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 3: do it that way. And then the coaches, you know, 1339 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 3: know that Sam will you know, not blow the whistle 1340 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 3: or tattle on anybody as such, but just hey, what 1341 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,959 Speaker 3: do they think, give me the give me the true 1342 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,360 Speaker 3: scoop here? What do they think? What's going on? Are 1343 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,520 Speaker 3: we doing things the right way? How can we improve 1344 01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 3: what can we do to make things better for the players. 1345 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 3: That role is huge. It takes a you know, a 1346 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 3: special guy to be able to handle it. There's not 1347 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 3: any real pressure, but you want to help build as 1348 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 3: good an environment, a winning environment as you possibly can 1349 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 3: with the franchise, and anything you can do to help 1350 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 3: that move in the right direction is what you want 1351 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:29,920 Speaker 3: to get done. 1352 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,920 Speaker 2: And I love what Zach told Dan about Sam finding 1353 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,040 Speaker 2: his voice as his career went on with the Bengals, 1354 01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 2: because as a rookie, you know the old saying rookies 1355 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 2: are to be you know, seen, not heard. And as 1356 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,080 Speaker 2: Sam became more comfortable, you heard Zach explain how excited 1357 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 2: he was to see Sam grow into a leader. And 1358 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,040 Speaker 2: that's you know, as as Zach was saying that, I 1359 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 2: thought of guys like Barrett Carter and Dimitrius Knight junior, 1360 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 2: young guys who are going who are going to be 1361 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 2: here in a perfect world, who eventually grow into a 1362 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 2: voice but absorbing information right now, and you hope they 1363 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 2: they get comfortable like Sam did to become a voice. 1364 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 11: For this team. 1365 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, Sam by nature is pretty quiet, you know, he's 1366 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 3: not He never toots his own horn.

But you know, he just has that 1372 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 3: that ability to rally people, and uh, that's a that's 1373 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 3: a unique talent. It really is when you have it, 1374 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 3: you know you do, but you know you don't want to, like, 1375 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 3: you know, take take out a billboard and advertise it. 1376 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 3: You know, you kind of keep it to yourself.

As much 1515 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 2: time as we've spent on offense and defense, we referenced 1516 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 2: and if you used the term complimentary football and well 1517 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 2: routed performance yesterday, that includes special teams where everybody had 1518 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,760 Speaker 2: a contribution, whether it was Evan McPherson with a lot 1519 01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 2: of extra points, which is a good thing, right. Ryan 1520 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 2: Rico punning Bulah ball, the kick returns, the punt returns, 1521 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 2: the coverage. I don't even where to begin. I'll start 1522 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,720 Speaker 2: with Ryan Rico, who has booted the ball well the 1523 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,879 Speaker 2: entire season. He's had some issues with touchbacks, but yesterday, 1524 01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,879 Speaker 2: my goodness, he had all four of his punts inside 1525 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 2: the twenty yard line, two of those inside the ten, 1526 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,800 Speaker 2: and he averaged fifty two yards a kick. 1527 01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 3: He was on it yesterday, he really was. I mean 1528 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 3: four punts averaged fifty two yards a kick. Like you said, 1529 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 3: long of fifty nine four times inside the twenty twice 1530 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 3: inside the ten. Of those four times no touchbacks. And 1531 01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 3: the return game for the Miami Dolphins because of the 1532 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 3: excellent c Rico was non existent. I mean two of 1533 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,760 Speaker 3: them were down inside the ten yard line and in 1534 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 3: the red zone, and Washington never had a return. I mean, 1535 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,920 Speaker 3: were never able to jumpstart things to get it going. 1536 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 3: And you talk about the rookie Williams as a kick 1537 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 3: returner for the Bengals, three returns seventy six yards, averaging 1538 01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,680 Speaker 3: over twenty five yards per along of thirty one Brooks 1539 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,960 Speaker 3: had won for forty one yards. So the Bengals average 1540 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:10,320 Speaker 3: twenty nine point three on four kickoff returns. They dominated 1541 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 3: field position courtesy of special teams. Darren Simmons, I know, 1542 01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 3: was pretty pleased. He was smiling in the locker room. 1543 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 3: Had a chance to see him as he walked by 1544 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,719 Speaker 3: as he was getting ready to go out to the buses, 1545 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 3: and I'm like, man, Rico was unbelievable. It can't be 1546 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,760 Speaker 3: much better than he was today, you know. You know 1547 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,480 Speaker 3: Darren is he kind of like, you know, very monotone, 1548 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 3: you know, very very composed. But yeah, and Rico, he 1549 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 3: was going crazy as his teammates were downing punts, you know, 1550 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:43,960 Speaker 3: to keep that average away. And then he had one 1551 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 3: that looked like golf hitting the green and just you know, 1552 01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,679 Speaker 3: the spin on it, just just it hit and spun back. 1553 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,759 Speaker 3: That one was a thing of beauty. But yeah, special 1554 01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,680 Speaker 3: teams overall. They put the Dolphins on long fields and 1555 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 3: they put Bengals on many short ones. 1556 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 2: By the way, I got about a minute left in 1557 01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 2: the hour.

I was trying to 1635 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:32,760 Speaker 5: hope he stayed in bounce to keep the clock running. 1636 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:34,479 Speaker 5: There at the end of half, Drew was he was 1637 01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,599 Speaker 5: helping on getting in the end zone. And so again 1638 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 5: that's a huge play right there. Bye bye Joe, and 1639 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 5: by Drew and by the protection to give him the 1640 01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:48,360 Speaker 5: time to be able to extend the play like that 1641 01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 5: first quarter. 1642 01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 6: They're explosive team. 1643 01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,479 Speaker 5: Uh, They're really tough to defend, especially in the run 1644 01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,000 Speaker 5: game with the play actions off of it. They did 1645 01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 5: a nice shot in the first half finding a rhythm. 1646 01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 5: But I thought our defense really did a great job 1647 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 5: settling down and knocking those down for two or three 1648 01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,000 Speaker 5: yards and putting them in passing situations. You know, with 1649 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,879 Speaker 5: the rookie quarterback, we knew that was going to be challenging, 1650 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 5: and so I thought the defense had a great response. 1651 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 5: You know, the big touchdown run, Yeah, they got us 1652 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 5: on it. They've gotten a lot of people on that. 1653 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 5: But I thought the response after that was really good 1654 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:17,439 Speaker 5: by the d as you. 1655 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 7: Guys started, you know, ugalizing all of your weapons. 1656 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:21,439 Speaker 9: You know, it's team here and. 1657 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 18: Jamarro and Chase Browns and this kind of an example 1658 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:29,200 Speaker 18: of how your offense can be the ways playing profession. 1659 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I feel like we've shown this a 1660 01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 5: million times over the years, you know, and unfortunately this 1661 01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 5: year we. 1662 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,680 Speaker 6: Just haven't haven't been able to do it. But this 1663 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 6: is no surprise. 1664 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,360 Speaker 5: I mean I was walking off field Drew Sample and 1665 01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 5: he said, this is how I'm used to these games going. 1666 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:44,840 Speaker 5: You know, when we're when we got everybody on offense 1667 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 5: ready to roll. And so again we've got another opportunity 1668 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,400 Speaker 5: this week against Arizona to come back home and do 1669 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,240 Speaker 5: it in front of our fans, and I expect our 1670 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:53,200 Speaker 5: guys to respond the right way. 1671 01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 13: I know, you're in the game, is it or sweet? 1672 01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 11: This is what you want it? 1673 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:00,280 Speaker 6: Yeah? It is what it is. 1674 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 5: You know, this is the this is the situation we're in, 1675 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 5: and this is what we can control. And so after 1676 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 5: the season you'll have a chance to reflect back on 1677 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,680 Speaker 5: things that we got to do differently. But I think 1678 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 5: right now this is all we could control this week 1679 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 5: was what was our response in the building to to 1680 01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 5: you know a lot of people after us right now. 1681 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 5: And so the response was tremendous by our guys, and 1682 01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 5: to put together such a complete game I thought was 1683 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:31,200 Speaker 5: really impressive. Speaking yeah, I mean it was. I told 1684 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 5: Jamar to come punch me in the stomach. We hadn't 1685 01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,000 Speaker 5: thrown double go by the midway point the second quarter, 1686 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 5: so we got to it a little earlier than I 1687 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,080 Speaker 5: had initially planned. 1688 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:38,640 Speaker 6: We were backed up. 1689 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,960 Speaker 5: It felt like the moment to go do it, and 1690 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 5: t did what he does. He goes up and gets 1691 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:44,720 Speaker 5: it and we ran the double move there on the goal, 1692 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:45,920 Speaker 5: and I thought he did a great job with his 1693 01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:47,879 Speaker 5: patient so Joe had time to get it up and 1694 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,960 Speaker 5: he you know, he's got so many touchdowns in that 1695 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:51,640 Speaker 5: back right corner of the end zone, getting getting his 1696 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,839 Speaker 5: two feet in, so expected nothing less from that connection. 1697 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 20: You know that you get when you get you guys 1698 01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 20: on offense. And he has staying healthy, clime is ready 1699 01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,559 Speaker 20: to go for the stage. 1700 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 6: That's great. 1701 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,600 Speaker 5: I think Chase is a is a huge weapon for 1702 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 5: us and does a great job with his explosiveness, tremendous 1703 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 5: matchup in the past game as well that he probably 1704 01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:20,880 Speaker 5: doesn't get enough credit for. He's won a lot of 1705 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,600 Speaker 5: those choice routs underneath, and he got a CEO for 1706 01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:26,599 Speaker 5: a touchdown today when he was matchup on a backer, 1707 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 5: and so again he's been a great weapon for us. 1708 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 5: I'm happy I have him. I'm good with the direction 1709 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 5: he's had. 1710 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 3: To go. 1711 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean DJ was battling the flu, you know, 1712 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,599 Speaker 5: so for him to even get out there and get 1713 01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,720 Speaker 5: IVS and go out there and play, it'd be hard 1714 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,840 Speaker 5: to get through an entire game. So UH certainly appreciate 1715 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,040 Speaker 5: DJ doing what he did. And fighting through it, and 1716 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:52,960 Speaker 5: unfortunately we got to a point where we were able 1717 01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 5: to get him out. And you know, if anyway, and 1718 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 5: we just got the flu you get midway point in 1719 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,080 Speaker 5: the game, it's gonna beat you up pretty good. So 1720 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 5: again I appreci DJ doing everything he could to get 1721 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 5: to this game and get through it. 1722 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:06,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, awesome. 1723 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:07,840 Speaker 5: And I saw DJ Ivy at the end of the 1724 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,080 Speaker 5: you know, make a good contest to play towards the end. 1725 01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 5: So I thought the response was great. I thought JD's 1726 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 5: pick was was awesome. All those turnovers those guys got 1727 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:19,439 Speaker 5: was a lot of them were combination plays where one 1728 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 5: guy was knocking it out, one guy was tipping it, 1729 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,720 Speaker 5: the other guy's making the play. Uh, JD's was just 1730 01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 5: one on one man coverage went up, made to play. 1731 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,600 Speaker 5: It was a big time what's it feeling. 1732 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:33,840 Speaker 14: On the sideline start to just snowing the turnover and get. 1733 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:35,439 Speaker 2: That. 1734 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:36,439 Speaker 6: We have to finish that. 1735 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,360 Speaker 5: We had exactly what I thought was, we have to finish, 1736 01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 5: you know, And I've got a lot of respect for 1737 01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:45,160 Speaker 5: the Dolphins and the coaching staff there. They're really good coaches, 1738 01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:48,559 Speaker 5: good people. But we needed to have a killer instinct 1739 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 5: to finish that. Game out, you know, and so we 1740 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,840 Speaker 5: wanted to continue to be aggressive till about the midway 1741 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,479 Speaker 5: point that fourth quarter. But uh, for our guys, for 1742 01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,840 Speaker 5: our sake, for identity moving forward, you know, we need 1743 01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,519 Speaker 5: to have a killer instinct and keep throwing the football 1744 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 5: and keep finding ways to finish drives and not let 1745 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 5: them try to get any hope and creep back in 1746 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:04,960 Speaker 5: the game. And I thought our guys did a great 1747 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:05,400 Speaker 5: job of that. 1748 01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,599 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor on the forty five to twenty one win 1749 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 2: over the Miami Dolphins yesterday. And I know, Dave, when 1750 01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 2: once you get eliminated, there's great debate of how much 1751 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 2: it means and if you you know draft position and 1752 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,840 Speaker 2: everything that comes with it. All I know is this, 1753 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 2: and I know they've been eliminated. I know it was 1754 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 2: quote just the Dolphins with the rookie quarterback, and I 1755 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,639 Speaker 2: know there's always the concern of how it may, how 1756 01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 2: it may skew any view of the team going to 1757 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 2: the offseason and changes needed. I just know this, to 1758 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 2: quote herm Edwards, you play to win the game, Bengo, 1759 01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,880 Speaker 2: and they won the game yesterday. And I could you 1760 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 2: could tell looking at players faces, even on the sidelines 1761 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,439 Speaker 2: there were smiles, there was joy, there was fun to 1762 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,600 Speaker 2: be had, and that has to mean something. 1763 01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 3: No question, no doubt about it. Last absolutely, and you know, 1764 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:56,519 Speaker 3: it's a long season, man, and the to taste the 1765 01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 3: sweet nectar of victory at any point is meaningful. And 1766 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 3: and uh, it was a long time coming. It has 1767 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:08,560 Speaker 3: been a long time coming. But this football team believes. 1768 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 3: They believe they're better than their record indicates. They thought 1769 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:13,840 Speaker 3: they were going to have a really good year this 1770 01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,120 Speaker 3: year going into it. I know that for a fact, 1771 01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:18,479 Speaker 3: they felt like they had a lot of a lot 1772 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 3: of pieces, like we talked about earlier, a lot of 1773 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,840 Speaker 3: a lot of pieces in place that would hold them 1774 01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:26,599 Speaker 3: in good stead. They did. You know, it just has 1775 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,320 Speaker 3: not worked out that way. And like you said, you 1776 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:31,160 Speaker 3: know people like Poo Poo and the fact that you 1777 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,639 Speaker 3: beat the Miami Dalson just beat them, spanked them, man, 1778 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 3: I mean it was. It was a total butt kicking, 1779 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,759 Speaker 3: took them to the h took them to the woodshed, 1780 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,680 Speaker 3: and gave them a spanking. There's no no doubt about it. 1781 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 3: And uh, in every category that that you could win, 1782 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,880 Speaker 3: they won, and they won decisively and handily. So it 1783 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 3: doesn't that doesn't happen in the NFL, particularly traveling to Miami. Uh, 1784 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 3: that's a tough trip. You know, it's significantly long, and 1785 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 3: then playing in the heat on the road, and then 1786 01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,640 Speaker 3: you know, back home and celebrate a little bit. They 1787 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 3: played with a lot of emotion, a lot of enthusiasm. 1788 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 3: They were excited about it, which is good. It's a 1789 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 3: good sign. Zach Taylor has not lost the football team. 1790 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,640 Speaker 3: Zach Taylor. The coaching staff still has, you know, the 1791 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,519 Speaker 3: football team where they want them in terms of listening 1792 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 3: and absorbing and understanding game plans and how to go 1793 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 3: about winning football games. 1794 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:24,559 Speaker 2: By the way, a nugget to drop into in the 1795 01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 2: segment the forty five points, they're most since they scored 1796 01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:32,639 Speaker 2: forty nine against the Jets October twenty seventh, twenty thirteen. Wow, 1797 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,479 Speaker 2: that was two hundred and one games ago.

That's really what's critical. 1923 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,880 Speaker 10: When we get the opportunities, we have to hit them 1924 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,400 Speaker 10: to scare defenses out of playing those kinds of coverages, 1925 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,680 Speaker 10: and then we can start to, you know, get our 1926 01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:30,800 Speaker 10: past game going with all the zones that we like 1927 01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:33,599 Speaker 10: to attack and that our coaches do such a good 1928 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 10: job of providing those concepts for us and teaching them, showing. 1929 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 13: Us what to look at and what we how we 1930 01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 13: have to play each play. 1931 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 7: Did they get I think it puts a lot girl. 1932 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,240 Speaker 13: Did you did you get them out of it to 1933 01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 13: stop doing it or what? 1934 01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 2: What? 1935 01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 13: How did you try to? Yeah? 1936 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 10: I just think I think that the Tea's two plays 1937 01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:55,880 Speaker 10: early on really just set the tone. Like you said, 1938 01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:59,160 Speaker 10: they were pressuring a little bit early, and team makes 1939 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:02,360 Speaker 10: those two plays and then they they can't pressure as 1940 01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,320 Speaker 10: much and when they do, they have to play different 1941 01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,080 Speaker 10: coverages behind it, and so that light just get them 1942 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:07,479 Speaker 10: all out quickly and in the space. 1943 01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 13: And so it just started with those two from Tea. 1944 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 3: We saw you like you. 1945 01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:13,800 Speaker 11: They had to touch on your routine. You do kind 1946 01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,120 Speaker 11: of made the pressure like that dozens of time, and 1947 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,800 Speaker 11: more than that, throughout your rear in that moment, what 1948 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 11: you could thinking, what do you feel it? What what's 1949 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 11: going on in your head? 1950 01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,080 Speaker 10: Well I just started to to move a little bit, 1951 01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:29,519 Speaker 10: and then I was like, we're in field goal range. 1952 01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:31,080 Speaker 10: I kind of gotta throw this away at this point. 1953 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,360 Speaker 10: So I was just trying to find a place that 1954 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,240 Speaker 10: I could dump it and live to see another down. 1955 01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 13: And drew pops right there. Great job by him finding 1956 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 13: the space and realizing what was happening.

You had a great 2101 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:05,920 Speaker 11: career at Duke, team MVP, two time first Team All 2102 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,160 Speaker 11: acc or a team captain there your final year, did 2103 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 11: you expect to get drafted and was it a big 2104 01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:14,920 Speaker 11: disappointment when you weren't? Oh, I think so. 2105 01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,519 Speaker 24: I think for me, you know, that's obviously for everybody, 2106 01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,840 Speaker 24: it's the ultimate goals to get drafted, and when it 2107 01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,760 Speaker 24: didn't happen, you know, it hurt a little bit. But 2108 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:25,519 Speaker 24: I come from a competitive household and my brother plays 2109 01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 24: profession lacross and things like that, so there was no 2110 01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:29,160 Speaker 24: sulking in the moment. It was just all right, what 2111 01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:30,439 Speaker 24: are you gonna do to stay?

So for me, 2115 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:39,439 Speaker 24: it was disappointing, but I think it also taught me 2116 01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:41,800 Speaker 24: a lot of things about myself, and it taught me 2117 01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:43,360 Speaker 24: that if I really wanted, I had to put in 2118 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,840 Speaker 24: that much more work to get to where I'm at. 2119 01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,280 Speaker 24: And seven years later, I'm still here doing it.

How it started was kind 2121 01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:52,240 Speaker 24: of roup, but you know, figured it. 2122 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:55,639 Speaker 11: Out because of the way NFL accounting works. The roster 2123 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:58,240 Speaker 11: says you have two years of NFL experience, and it's 2124 01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:01,760 Speaker 11: always annoying to me because the truth is, this is 2125 01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 11: your seventh NFL season, including time that you've spent on 2126 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:09,000 Speaker 11: practice squads. It's a good living regardless of what your 2127 01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,880 Speaker 11: status is on the roster. What's been the key for 2128 01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:15,200 Speaker 11: you to remain an NFL player for seven years? 2129 01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:17,560 Speaker 24: For me, I think it's just been simple. You know, 2130 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 24: show up to work every day and work. There's somebody 2131 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,360 Speaker 24: coming in and take your spot every day. There's a 2132 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:25,280 Speaker 24: hundred guys who are getting truts every day, and so 2133 01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,400 Speaker 24: what are you doing in that building to stand out 2134 01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:30,679 Speaker 24: on a consistent basis? So it's you know, I've built 2135 01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 24: a routine being consistent and just being vocal and being 2136 01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:36,639 Speaker 24: a leader. And when you get your opportuny to make plays, 2137 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:38,479 Speaker 24: make plays. That's the league about. The more plays you make, 2138 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,479 Speaker 24: the longer you stay, the less players you're make, gonna 2139 01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 24: have to find something else to do. 2140 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,240 Speaker 11: I introduced you off the top as a linebacker, and 2141 01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:47,160 Speaker 11: special teams stand out right now. Pro Football Focus has 2142 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:51,120 Speaker 11: you graded number eleven among all special teams players in 2143 01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 11: the NFL so far this year. You've had several tackles 2144 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:57,519 Speaker 11: and kick coverage in recent weeks. How much of special 2145 01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,519 Speaker 11: team's success is all out effort and how much is 2146 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:02,879 Speaker 11: knowledge and technique? 2147 01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:05,439 Speaker 24: Well, I think you know it's a combination of both. 2148 01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:08,760 Speaker 24: But shout out you know coach Daron, Coach Ben, and 2149 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:10,120 Speaker 24: you know the guys in the unit. You know, I'm 2150 01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:11,439 Speaker 24: just the guy who's been lucky enough to have a 2151 01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:14,000 Speaker 24: couple of tackles these past few games. But it comes 2152 01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,880 Speaker 24: down to film study and just working hard. And you know, 2153 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,639 Speaker 24: I think for a lot of guys, you know, early 2154 01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,120 Speaker 24: on you can kind of look at special teams as 2155 01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:22,400 Speaker 24: that I don't want to play special teams. I want 2156 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:23,720 Speaker 24: to be a defensiveuy. I want to be offensive guy. 2157 01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:27,679 Speaker 24: But it's just as important. It's it's just as fun, 2158 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,400 Speaker 24: and you know, guys carve out roles doing that. So 2159 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:32,960 Speaker 24: for me, like I told you, just being consistent and 2160 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 24: doing what I have to do to stay in a 2161 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:36,400 Speaker 24: building and you know, getting the opportunity to play there 2162 01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:38,960 Speaker 24: and it's been nothing but good to me and kind 2163 01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:40,880 Speaker 24: of opened my eyes a little more special teams the world. 2164 01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:42,760 Speaker 24: And I just thank my film studying things for being 2165 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:44,040 Speaker 24: able to be in the right place the right time. 2166 01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:48,000 Speaker 11: Maybe in a perfect world, you get drafted by a team, 2167 01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,639 Speaker 11: you spend a decade with that team, and that's your 2168 01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:53,560 Speaker 11: NFL career. That's not been the path for you. On 2169 01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:56,320 Speaker 11: the other hand, you've probably made hundreds of friends, and 2170 01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:58,920 Speaker 11: the different teams you've been with, you've seen how it 2171 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,799 Speaker 11: works in different places. Says you've lived in different cities. 2172 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:03,639 Speaker 11: Have you enjoyed that part of your career. 2173 01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,320 Speaker 24: Absolutely, I don't think any of this for granted. I've 2174 01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:11,280 Speaker 24: made nothing but great relationships, and you know, just the 2175 01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,160 Speaker 24: people I've met along the way have been amazing, and 2176 01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:14,680 Speaker 24: that you know, there's people you met along the way 2177 01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:16,000 Speaker 24: who aren't amazing, but it's just. 2178 01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:16,839 Speaker 6: Part of the process. 2179 01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 24: But I'd say the overall knowledge I've gained just from 2180 01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,600 Speaker 24: the business side of it, how the NFL works. You 2181 01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:24,720 Speaker 24: know what locker rooms are like and things like that. 2182 01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,720 Speaker 24: I think it's kind of really helped me, you know, 2183 01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:31,400 Speaker 24: stay focused and stay grounded and things like that, and 2184 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:33,639 Speaker 24: to really like it's been nothing but a blessing. 2185 01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:34,840 Speaker 11: Like I've loved this process. 2186 01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:35,439 Speaker 6: It's been hard. 2187 01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 24: There's been days where I'm like, this is not it, 2188 01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,240 Speaker 24: this is the worst thing in the world, but it's 2189 01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:42,639 Speaker 24: you know, everything's turned the corner for me, and I'm 2190 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,080 Speaker 24: grateful for it. I came to this lead with no kids. 2191 01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:46,720 Speaker 24: I have two kids now, two beautiful kids who have 2192 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,559 Speaker 24: now part of this process. My wife's part of the process. 2193 01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:50,760 Speaker 24: So it's been good for us. It's given us a 2194 01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:53,400 Speaker 24: different perspective. Got to live in different areas of the country, 2195 01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:54,920 Speaker 24: which is cool, you know, being from New York, I 2196 01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:56,000 Speaker 24: only wanted to live in New York. 2197 01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:57,120 Speaker 6: It was good. 2198 01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:58,720 Speaker 24: I was able to branch out and do things like that. 2199 01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:02,679 Speaker 24: But it's been a blessing and I cherished every Every 2200 01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:04,640 Speaker 24: place I've been at has been good for me and 2201 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:06,920 Speaker 24: my family, and I'm just forever grateful. 2202 01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,680 Speaker 11: All Right, A few wild card topics now for Joe 2203 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:13,679 Speaker 11: Giles Harris, since you mentioned having two kids, son, daughter, 2204 01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:15,800 Speaker 11: one of each, and what's your favorite thing about being 2205 01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:16,120 Speaker 11: a dad. 2206 01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:17,880 Speaker 24: My son is two years old and my daughter's one 2207 01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:21,080 Speaker 24: year old, Blaze and Breeze, and I think my favorite 2208 01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:22,639 Speaker 24: part of being a dad is coming home and hearing 2209 01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 24: what they had to say about their day and you know, 2210 01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 24: what they did or what I did.

Earlier, a 2236 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,160 Speaker 11: professional lacrosse player for the Denver Outlaws. He is a 2237 01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:31,960 Speaker 11: three time All Star in the Premier Lacrosse League. Tell 2238 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:33,240 Speaker 11: us a little bit about his career. 2239 01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:35,599 Speaker 24: Oh, well, my brother has been, you know, the best 2240 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,960 Speaker 24: player at lacrosse in my opinion, and I know that 2241 01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:39,559 Speaker 24: probably doesn't carry well because I live in the house, 2242 01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,080 Speaker 24: but he's been the best lacrosse player I've seen in 2243 01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:44,599 Speaker 24: a long time. He plays defense, you know, he played 2244 01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:46,840 Speaker 24: defense playing growing up, playing football and things like that, 2245 01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,080 Speaker 24: so kind of translated. But he's had, you know, a 2246 01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:50,960 Speaker 24: heck of probably a better career than I have had, 2247 01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:53,200 Speaker 24: to be honest. He you know, was a Defensive Player 2248 01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:56,000 Speaker 24: of the Year in college, All American most of his 2249 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:57,720 Speaker 24: time in college. I think he won Defensive Player of 2250 01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 24: the Year already in the PLL. So he's just a study, 2251 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,840 Speaker 24: handles his business. He approaches every day coming some of 2252 01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:05,919 Speaker 24: what I do, you know, just attack the day mentality, 2253 01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:09,280 Speaker 24: and he's just a competitor, like there's a fire in 2254 01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:11,439 Speaker 24: him and it burns and he's gonna get his job 2255 01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:12,040 Speaker 24: none no matter what. 2256 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:15,320 Speaker 11: Out there than football, what are you good at. 2257 01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 24: Depends on yes.

He just makes tackles on 2288 01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:37,400 Speaker 2: special teams. And probably at the start of the season 2289 01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:40,360 Speaker 2: there were very few fans who knew of him. But man, 2290 01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:44,439 Speaker 2: Darren Simmons saw something, plugged him in and he's been rewarded. 2291 01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:47,760 Speaker 3: And boy, I'll tell you what nobody sees uh or 2292 01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,479 Speaker 3: evaluate talent with the eye of a guy like Darren Simmons, 2293 01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:55,320 Speaker 3: who has so much experience in the National Football League. 2294 01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,599 Speaker 3: He was a punter himself. He understands special teams, understands 2295 01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:02,400 Speaker 3: the importance of special teams, understands the role of a 2296 01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:06,080 Speaker 3: special teams player, and man, he just has a knack 2297 01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:10,519 Speaker 3: for unearthing these guys. Man, I mean he just out 2298 01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,040 Speaker 3: of a group of players when he's at the combine, 2299 01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:17,080 Speaker 3: he finds himself. Like you talked about Lance nuggets, potential nuggets, 2300 01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 3: and then you know he'll he'll get them signed, cultivate them, 2301 01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:27,840 Speaker 3: you know, just almost like a jeweler turning coal into 2302 01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:31,240 Speaker 3: a diamond. That's what Darren Simmons does with players, and 2303 01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:35,840 Speaker 3: he's done it for years. He's he's more than proven commodity. 2304 01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:38,479 Speaker 3: There's no question about that. Darren Simmons is as good 2305 01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:40,920 Speaker 3: as it gets in the NFL with special teams. 2306 01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,599 Speaker 2: We continue on with the Cardinals ahead and game balls 2307 01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,880 Speaker 2: ahead on Bengals on on the Bengals Radio Network in 2308 01:44:45,960 --> 01:45:00,280 Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW.

Kind of a mess of a season. It 2317 01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,360 Speaker 2: started out with great hopes. They started two and oh 2318 01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:29,080 Speaker 2: and they've gone one and twelve since then. They dropped 2319 01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:34,679 Speaker 2: seven straight late interception yesterday sealed their fate, and three 2320 01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:37,680 Speaker 2: and twelve overall. Although I would circle and I have 2321 01:45:37,800 --> 01:45:41,560 Speaker 2: highlighted one name tight end of all things, cover the 2322 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,280 Speaker 2: tight end this week, because Trey McBride has one hundred 2323 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,479 Speaker 2: and nine catches for one thousand and ninety eight yards 2324 01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:49,799 Speaker 2: and ten touchdowns this season. 2325 01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:53,720 Speaker 3: Oh man, man, I'll tell you what. Hat's tip of 2326 01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:57,000 Speaker 3: the cap. Hats off to McBride to be the bright 2327 01:45:57,080 --> 01:46:00,880 Speaker 3: spot in such a horrific season for football team three 2328 01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:04,719 Speaker 3: and twelve, and to put up those numbers, man, because 2329 01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:10,720 Speaker 3: obviously he's been targeted. It's like, this guy is killing it. 2330 01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 3: This guy's having a Pro Bowl season. We have to 2331 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,560 Speaker 3: eliminate him as an option as a weapon, and he 2332 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:20,679 Speaker 3: continues to make plays. So, you know, credit the Arizona 2333 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:24,360 Speaker 3: Cardinals coaching staff for finding waste to keep him involved offensively, 2334 01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:27,160 Speaker 3: and credit him for playing at a high level and 2335 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:30,559 Speaker 3: staying healthy and all those good things. And making plays 2336 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:33,680 Speaker 3: and the quarterbacks for finding them. And but boy, that's 2337 01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:37,560 Speaker 3: a that's a rough season. I experienced a four and 2338 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:40,720 Speaker 3: twelve season, and I can tell you it is no 2339 01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:44,639 Speaker 3: fun whatsoever. I mean, you get tired of each other. Man, 2340 01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:47,120 Speaker 3: It's almost you know, it's like, when is this going 2341 01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:49,320 Speaker 3: to end? When is the misery and the drudgery you're 2342 01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:49,800 Speaker 3: going to end? 2343 01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:51,639 Speaker 9: So and Dave. 2344 01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:54,479 Speaker 2: That sets it up to me perfectly. They're traveling. They 2345 01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:56,479 Speaker 2: got to come all the waycross country here. It's not 2346 01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:58,439 Speaker 2: going to be cold, but it's going to be about 2347 01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:00,479 Speaker 2: fifty I think I saw on sun. But this is 2348 01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:04,840 Speaker 2: one of those games where you you cause you want 2349 01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:07,639 Speaker 2: to give the Cardinals a reason to check out early 2350 01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 2: score on the opening drive, get them behind the eight ball, 2351 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:12,400 Speaker 2: see how interested they are in playing, because they just 2352 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:13,320 Speaker 2: may want to get back on. 2353 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,880 Speaker 3: The play absolutely. You know, their biggest desire may be 2354 01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,600 Speaker 3: heading back to Arizona, being with their families. You know, 2355 01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:23,519 Speaker 3: I mean, start this chrismas, Yeah, why do we have 2356 01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:26,000 Speaker 3: to play a football game? You know, there's no reason 2357 01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,519 Speaker 3: for it. Plus you want to if you're the Bengals, 2358 01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,680 Speaker 3: you want to win the last three. Yep, you want 2359 01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,680 Speaker 3: to go out on a high note. And it's not 2360 01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:36,920 Speaker 3: great competition obviously Arizona and Cleveland. But you know, you 2361 01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,400 Speaker 3: got one under your belt beating the Miami Dolphins. Why 2362 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:41,800 Speaker 3: not get two more? And people are going to say, hey, 2363 01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:45,240 Speaker 3: you know, but look at the competition. So what wins 2364 01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:47,759 Speaker 3: in the National Football League you don't take for granted. 2365 01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:50,840 Speaker 3: They're not easy to come by. And if you can 2366 01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:54,519 Speaker 3: use it as a building block to get off to 2367 01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:56,760 Speaker 3: a quick start in twenty twenty six, I'm all for it. 2368 01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:00,639 Speaker 2: Final segment ahead, and that's saving the best for last 2369 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,160 Speaker 2: game balls. You hear the presentation from the locker room 2370 01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:05,679 Speaker 2: after the victory.

He's the fifth fastest 2408 01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:25,120 Speaker 25: quarterback in the league history to hit twenty thousand yards, 2409 01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:33,160 Speaker 25: my fastest quarterback in the league history to throw it 2410 01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:34,679 Speaker 25: for one hundred and fifty touchdowns. 2411 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:38,479 Speaker 11: You know. 2412 01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:44,400 Speaker 25: Jamar Chase seven games this season with omber one hundred. 2413 01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:49,799 Speaker 25: That's a Bengals record. If we went over five hundred 2414 01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:53,040 Speaker 25: career catches, which is the third fastest in NFL. Hiss 2415 01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:04,120 Speaker 25: Brown three touchdowns today, My second player in Bengals history 2416 01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:05,400 Speaker 25: score three and a quarter. 2417 01:51:07,040 --> 01:51:11,920 Speaker 7: Mine the second. The state isn't the biggest. 2418 01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:19,800 Speaker 25: That touchdown fell great coming back and see Higgins that 2419 01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:22,559 Speaker 25: went back huge, go right early when we're backed up. 2420 01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:28,760 Speaker 25: Big touchdown on the defensively, Man couldn't be prouder. Since 2421 01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:36,360 Speaker 25: Week twelve eleven takeaways most of the NFL. I thought 2422 01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:39,440 Speaker 25: Jordan Battle knocking out Miles Murphy recovering. 2423 01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:44,040 Speaker 8: The last run. 2424 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:46,519 Speaker 7: I thought Josh Duton tipped that ball up and Mark 2425 01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:54,000 Speaker 7: Connor pick it off. That's all huge fourth and one 2426 01:51:54,240 --> 01:51:56,719 Speaker 7: hand by the entire defense. That counts as a turnover. 2427 01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:17,360 Speaker 25: Guys, you proved here we are. That's a huge character win. 2428 01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:19,800 Speaker 25: You gotta do it two more times.
