Speaker 2: and ESPN fifteen thirty. Bottom of the r will break

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: away on seven hundred. For UC basketball, let's get to it.

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: David was a well, let's see in what order. It

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: was a wildly entertaining game that had it all, that

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: put us on an emotional roller coaster that was ultimately

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: frustrating and disappointing. And I'll defer to Zach who said, simply,

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: I can't believe it, because I think a lot of

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: people at that moment we've been waking up this morning,

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: we're saying I can't believe it.

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm one of those guys. I'm waking up raising

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: my hand, can't believe it. I mean, you talk about

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: a lot of things happening during the course of a

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: football game, you know, some very very good and some

25
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: very very ugly. That was a roller coaster, that was

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 3: a wild ride yesterday. Man, the Chicago Bears, you have

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: the two quarterbacks played so well. I mean they both

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: had a quarterback rating of over one hundred, one hundred

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: point four. For Joe Flacco, he completed almost seventy five

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: percent of his passes, almost three out of four, four

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy yards, four touchdowns, and then two costly interceptions.

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: Williams was even better. I mean two hundred and ninety yards,

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: three touchdowns, no interception, quarterback rating of over one fourteen.

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: That's what the Chicago Bears felt like they had drafted

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: as the first pick in the draft. That's what he

36
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: showed he could do at USC when he won a

37
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: Heisman Trophy. So their quarterback ended up winning the football

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: game with his performance and Unflacco, and unfortunately, Joe Flacco's

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: performance came up just a little bit short, and as

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: a result, it was a losing performance.

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. So many times it was referenced by players after

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: the game the word finish. Yeah, boy, I think many

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: if you allowed yourself. At forty nine seconds, the touchdown

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: hits it and I'm immediately thinking, holy cow, they have

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: found a way to somehow win this game. They're gonna

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: go onto the by with this momentum. You're gonna have

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh coming out of the buy and everybody's gonna be

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: feeling good. And then four play seventy two yards and

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: thirty seven seconds and it was just a punch to the.

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: Gut big time. Seventy two yards and thirty seven seconds. Man,

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's hard to comprehend. That's hard to

52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 3: do at any level of football. And the fact that

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: it happens to the Cincinnati Bengals defense, I mean, Al

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: Golden has to be tearing his hair out by the roots,

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: there's no question about that. And everybody has to be

56
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the football. Offensively, let's face it,

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: you know, you put up the yards they put up,

58
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: you know, over over five hundred yards offense and over

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: round forty points high thirties. You expect to win that

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 3: football game. I mean there's no question that you think, yeah,

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: this is going our way today. Not quite.

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: Let's get reaction to what transpired. Immediate reaction after the game.

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: Here is David with the coach Zach Taylor.

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: Tear with Bengals head coach Zach Taylor and coach appreciate

65
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: you joining us like you always do. It's it's not

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: easy after your your team goes out and gives everything

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: they've got, poor is their heart and soul into a

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: football game like you guys do as well, you and

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: your coaches stop putting together the game plan and just

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: fall a little bit short, high scoring affair.

71
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: Did you expect that.

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 5: Expected to win. We're trying to find a way to win.

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: Everything we put into this week, expected to walk off

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: this field today with a win, and it's just that's

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: the way it fell today for us, and it's unfortunate.

76
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: We just in a lot of ways made the plays

77
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: we needed to make and then in other ways other phases,

78
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 5: we just we have to find a way. Someone has

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 5: to step up, someone's got to get their hand on

80
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 5: the ball, someone's got to get a turnover. And it

81
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: just hasn't gone our way.

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned some things that you know, I was

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: thinking about. Defensively, if you can get a key turnover

84
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: at a most opportune time, stop a drive or knock

85
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: the ball down, pass deflection, whatever the case may be,

86
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: it just seems like the defense is just one step short.

87
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: On many occasions it's been.

88
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 5: Close, you know. And and again we've can't give up

89
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: the points. We've given up the zero turnovers. You know,

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 5: that's a big deal. With Chicago's and their wins. They've

91
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 5: been plus four, plus three, plus three, they've always won

92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 5: the turnover battle, and today they finished plus three. You know,

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 5: they got three from us, none none the other way.

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 5: So we got to find a way to get that fixed.

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: Someone.

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: Someone's got to get it done. Someone, the player's got

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 5: to step up somewhere and make a play. Were working

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 5: night and day trying to try to figure out an

99
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: answer to give these guys and help them, and we're

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: going to continue that.

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: During the by week, they had sixteen takeaways coming in,

102
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: so that makes it nineteen. After this football game, there

103
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: were plus eight coming in a turnover ratio that makes

104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: them plus eleven.

105
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: Those numbers are staggering.

106
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of them is a hellmer at the end

107
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: of the game. I don't put much stock into that,

108
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: but you know, it's tough, it's it's that's that's a

109
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 5: challenging part of the game. We got to figure out

110
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 5: a way to get some turnovers off people.

111
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: How about physically, do you feel like your football team

112
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: came out of the out of the game fairly healthy,

113
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: nothing more than just the typical knicks, pumps and bruises.

114
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 5: Well, see, I think somaj Pirran, I know, we got

115
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: a high ankle spring, you know, on a hip drop tackle,

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: so that was unfortunate. But other than that, these guys

117
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: are I mean, emotionally, they left it all on the field.

118
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: I mean, they gave everything. It's it's.

119
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 5: I feel for him because they're they're fighting for a win,

120
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 5: They're trying to give everything they can to win, and

121
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: and we just these last two weeks in particular, falling short.

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 5: And I'm sick for these coaches, these players that that

123
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 5: put in this work and to have these heartbreaking results.

124
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 6: We just we got to find a way to find

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 6: a win.

126
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: Here. You're right, that was a hip drop tackle on

127
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: someow's your p Ryan playing and simple, I mean What

128
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: the hell is the guy looking at? Why can't he

129
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 3: throw his fight?

130
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: I don't think they are destructed to call it. I

131
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 5: think is probably where they're at and they just find

132
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: you afterwards. But that's just my opinion.

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: How do you keep them focused? How do you keep them,

134
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: you know, in in gear, in stride to take on

135
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steels after the buy.

136
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's that's leadership, you know. It's it is

137
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: easy when we've won ten games in a row and

138
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 5: been to a championship game and things are going good.

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 5: That the hard part of leadership is when you're facing

140
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: some real diversity.

141
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 6: And so.

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 5: I'm going to embrace that, and I'm gonna find guys

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 5: in the locker room that embrace that as well and

144
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 5: don't want to hang their heads, don't want to point fingers.

145
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: Negativity can creep in if you let it from from

146
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 5: people that tend to do that, and so we're not

147
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: gonna let that happen. We're just gonna keep fighting. I know,

148
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: I got a locker room guys that well and fight.

149
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: I just watched it on the field. It's it's I

150
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: just watched it. I watched those guys fight on every

151
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: single snap, and we're gonna continue.

152
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: To get that. And finally, finally, you do have a

153
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: bunch of guys in the locker room that are leaders.

154
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: You know that they aren't gonna quit, they aren't gonna

155
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: spit the bit. They're gonna give you every ounce after

156
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: they've got every single snap a very single football game.

157
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

158
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: And you've been a big part of getting those guys

159
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: in the locker room. How do you feel about the

160
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: rest of the season.

161
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a lot left to play for and

162
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: there's there's eight games left. We got to find a

163
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 5: way to just get that first win and build off that,

164
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 5: and there's still opportunity right in front of us. I

165
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 5: expects us to take advantage of it. I expects us

166
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: to come back to work ready to find a way

167
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: to do that. And that's that's all we can do

168
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: right now.

169
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: Appreciate your coach as always, Thank you.

170
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: Appreciate Zach Taylor after the game, and now, Dave, with

171
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: eight games left. There's still eight game and he's saying

172
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: that out loud. There's a lot of games left. But

173
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: in addition to the x's and o's challenge, there's got

174
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: to be somewhat of a challenge for Zach to keep

175
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: everybody on the same page and headed in the right

176
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 2: direction and not scattering at this point.

177
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it scattering is a good word for it. And

178
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: then you know, you get into the danger zone of

179
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: finger pointing, you know. I mean the offense here recently

180
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: with Joe Flacco at the helm and it's incredible what

181
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: a quarterback over forty years old is doing what he's

182
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: doing for his offensive football team. He has ignited them,

183
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been a spark, he's lifted them. And

184
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: the fact that they're playing well, I mean they're inconsistent.

185
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 3: I think that's probably the biggest way to sum up

186
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: the entire football team. Inconsistency. Sometimes play very very well,

187
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: you know for a quarter ye or for a half,

188
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: or for a series or a multiple series, and then

189
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: just goes away. Falls apart. Same thing defensively, although much less,

190
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: they haven't played as is consistently well. Uh, they've had

191
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: more poor performances on a series by series basis, on

192
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 3: a quarter by quarter basis than the than the the

193
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: offense has had. But man, I think inconsistency all the

194
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: way around offense, defense, and even Darren Simmons special teams

195
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 3: I mean they'll they'll make plays and then uh, they'll

196
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: spit the bit. You know, they'll they'll give up a

197
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: big play, they'll give up a return that is costly

198
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: and and uh flips field position and is a big

199
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: factor in the outcome of the football game. So they

200
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: got to get it turned around. They gotta get it

201
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 3: turned around quickly because they're just about at the halfway

202
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: point of the season right now, and you know they're

203
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: running out of time. Is the way, the best way

204
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: to say.

205
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: And to your point, something good will start to happen,

206
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: and then it's one play, one mistake, whether it's a

207
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: Dimitri's night junior illegal contact wipes out a sack, or

208
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: it's Yoshi who steps out of the back of the

209
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: end zone and the next plays the interception, Orlando Brown

210
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: first in goal, the personal foul, the the off sides

211
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: on the field. Just their their margin of air is

212
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: so small. Any mistake becomes magnified and it just becomes

213
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: really difficult to overcome.

214
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, I mean, their margin fair is zero.

215
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's like they they they have to

216
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: play the perfect game, and then there's pressure that comes

217
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: along with that, and then the self inflicted pressure that

218
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: comes along with that. You don't want to be the guy.

219
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: You don't want to be the guy that cost your

220
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: football team a game. You don't want to be the

221
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: guy that that that cost your football team. You know,

222
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: a series that was going oh so well. You know,

223
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: seven players in the series were great, and then the

224
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: eighth play you screwed up and and then the whole

225
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: thing falls apart. Yeah, it's a it can be a

226
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: it can be a cruel game when you're when you're struggling,

227
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: like the Cincinnati Bengals are struggling. I mean, you can

228
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: go home and be looking at the ceiling not and

229
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: not not being able to sleep at night or close

230
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: your eyes and you're still looking at the ceiling, you know,

231
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: not being able to sleep at night. So I'm sure

232
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: there that's the thing. There are a lot of guys

233
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: in that locker room. And we'll go in the locker

234
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: room after the game and there are a guy a

235
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 3: care you know there. It's it's like a it's like

236
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: a awakened there. You know. It's man, You're like you're

237
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: walking into somebody that just passed and you're you're paying

238
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: the respects to that person.

239
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: It really is.

240
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: It's a It can make a lot of money doing this,

241
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: and there's no doubt. I mean, it's a great way

242
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: to make a living, but it can it can it

243
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: can break your heart for sure.

244
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: When we continue, we'll talk about the day turned in

245
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: by the forty year old Joe Flacco, an unbelievable day,

246
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: and based on the circumstances of the week, even more unbelievable.

247
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: Will do that as we continue on with Bengals Line

248
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: on the Bengals Radio Network seven hundred WLW and ESPN

249
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. If they're back on Bengals Line of this

250
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: Monday night of the Bengals Radio Networks seven hundred wl

251
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: W into ESPN fifteen thirty. Again a reminder coming up

252
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: a bottom there. We'll break away on seven hundred for

253
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: UC basketball. Continue on on ESPN fifteen thirty. Joe Flacco

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: yesterday thirty one of forty seven, four hundred and seventy yards,

255
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, quarterback one nine point four. Here's QB one

256
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: after the game where I'm.

257
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: Normally not even thinking about it. You just flick it.

258
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 7: And there was something about those throws that I actually

259
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 7: struggled with the most today.

260
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 6: But there's on you line up for a game like

261
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 6: did you ever been a part of a game like

262
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 6: that one?

263
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

264
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, when you've been.

265
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 7: I mean, we beat Cleveland a couple of years ago

266
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 7: when I was with the Jets in a similar situation,

267
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 7: Nick Chubb Bran ran in for a touchdown to go

268
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 7: up by two scores.

269
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: They missed the extra point.

270
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 7: We went down and scored with under two minutes left,

271
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 7: got the on side kick, went down and scored again.

272
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 7: Now when we scored, there was probably a little bit

273
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 7: less time on the closs. They still they still did

274
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 7: have a chance. They might have completed a ball to

275
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 7: midfield or something like that, but they didn't have quite

276
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 7: quite as much time.

277
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: They probably didn't have any time malths.

278
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 7: We ended up winning the game, so very very similar. Well,

279
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 7: it's tough, you know, I mean, but you know, anytime

280
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 7: you're on the losing end.

281
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 4: It's tough.

282
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 7: I think when you've when you've played a lot of games,

283
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 7: it's not the you lose doesn't make it any worse necessarily,

284
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 7: you know. I think you learn that these these games

285
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 7: come down to the last minute, and you gotta be

286
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 7: ready for anything, and you know, a win to win

287
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 7: a loss is loss.

288
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: Did you start feeling that hope in that game late.

289
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 7: In obviously when I think when you go down and

290
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 7: then you think what you have is a touchdown and no,

291
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 7: it's incomplete, and then you throw an interception, and obviously

292
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 7: at the time you thought they scored a touchdown, that

293
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 7: was probably that that at that point you probably weren't

294
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 7: thinking too much about it. But then when we went

295
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 7: down and scored for that. You know, when you when

296
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 7: you go down and you score and you make it

297
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 7: a one score game, I mean, anything can happen on

298
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 7: TI kicks. Not very likely, but who knows.

299
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: You know.

300
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 7: I think we were down by fourteen and we were

301
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 7: going out there and I said, hey, listen, crazier things

302
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 7: have happened, like to somebody a coach, and I was

303
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 7: standing right there.

304
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 4: You know, I think it was a tight ends coach, and.

305
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 7: But I think I think, you know, after maybe there's

306
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 7: a little bit of hope after you score that first one,

307
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 7: but you're probably at that point. I mean, I think

308
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 7: fans are going through the same thing like as as

309
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 7: players are at that point. So whatever whatever you were

310
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 7: feeling and the fans are feeling, we're probably feeling the

311
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 7: same thing.

312
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: You know, you surprised when you saw the number.

313
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 7: You know, I knew we had been climbing up there

314
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 7: at some point because we got so many possessions and

315
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 7: we were really throwing the ball you know, a lot.

316
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: Of the time towards the end of the game, just

317
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 4: the nature of the game. You don't know how high

318
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 4: it is.

319
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 7: I mean, I've never thrown for four hundred in the

320
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 7: NFL in my career, so it's the first time.

321
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 8: The way that the last three games, how do you

322
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 8: keep the frustration.

323
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, from seeping among.

324
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 8: The offensive players and the way the games are gone, So.

325
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: What will we play nine games?

326
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 9: Now?

327
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: We have eight left.

328
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 7: If you don't keep your head down and and and

329
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 7: and go to work, then it's going to be a long,

330
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 7: miserable season for you.

331
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 4: You can't get distracted, uh, and you can't.

332
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 7: You're going to be emotional after a game, but at

333
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 7: some point you got to let that go. This is

334
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 7: our profession, you know, we do this for at a living,

335
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 7: and we take pride in doing it. And I hope

336
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 7: that you would continue to take pride in doing what

337
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 7: you do for a living, no matter what the outcome is.

338
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 7: And yeah, I mean maybe that's easier said than done,

339
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 7: but that's what you got to do because you know

340
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 7: this leg.

341
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: Will eat you up and it will not be it

342
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 4: will not be good. I'm sure.

343
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 7: I'm sure Baltimore isn't sitting there, you know, tucking their

344
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 7: tail between their legs. With the record they have, They're

345
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 7: probably motivated and excited about the opportunity, opportunity that they

346
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 7: have going forward.

347
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 4: I don't think we can look at it any different.

348
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: And Dave, all things considered, forty years old, shoulder joint sprain,

349
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: limited practice, just an absolutely heroic, gutty performance yesterday from Joe.

350
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: I think that's a great way to put it. Gotty.

351
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it was courageous. He he laid it all

352
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 3: out there for his football team. There's no doubt about it.

353
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: And I think in talking with some of the guys

354
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: in the locker room after the game, they realized that

355
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: they realized the sacrifice that Joe Flackell made. They realized

356
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: that he was playing in pain and that he wanted

357
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: to go out there and win this football game desperately

358
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: for the sake of his football team, for the sake

359
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: of his teammates, The coaching staff, the head coach Zach Taylor,

360
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: the coordinators Dan Pitcher. I mean they put a lot

361
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: into this football game. This was, you know, a targeted game.

362
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: This is almost they treated it almost like preparation wise,

363
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: almost like for a playoff game. I mean they were

364
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: going to leave no stone unturned in terms of putting

365
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: into the game plan what they felt they needed to

366
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: do to beat the Chicago Bears, and they came up short.

367
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: Let's hit our bottom of a r time out well transition.

368
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: You see basketball coming up on seven hundred WLW. We

369
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: continue on on ESPN fifteen thirty. We'll get to the

370
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: defensive side of that. You'll hear from Dax Hill and

371
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: so much more as we roll on with Bengals Line

372
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: and the Bengals Radio Network seven hundred WLW and ESPN

373
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. We continue on breaking down all things Bengals

374
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: on this Monday night of Bengals Line and the Bengals

375
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 2: Radio Network in ESPN fifteen thirty. Lands but Kallister hanging

376
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: out with Dave Lap them. We've got a lot to

377
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: sort through between now and nine o'clock tonight. We've got

378
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: a big pile of stuff to sort through on the

379
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: defensive side, of things, Dave lap a man. The numbers

380
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: they make your eyes go cross eye. Thirty first downs,

381
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: allowed five hundred and seventy six total yards, two ninety

382
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: three through the air, two eighty three in the ground,

383
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: seven and a half yards to carry. David, it's the

384
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: eighth straight game allowing at least twenty seven points, their

385
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: fifth game allowing thirty or more points. It was just

386
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: it was a dam that has broken and there's just

387
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: no ability to stop it right now for this defense.

388
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like you say, the dam is cracked

389
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: and broken and they can't fix it. You know, they

390
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: can't find a way to repair it. How many straight

391
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: games allowing twenty eight points?

392
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: Seven would be eight straight games at least twenty seven points.

393
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: Jeez, eight straight games allowing least twenty seven points. That's uh,

394
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 3: that's mind boggling. That that is Uh, that's almost impossible

395
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: to do. You have to try hard to be that bad.

396
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: It really is.

397
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 9: Uh.

398
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: And considered theave. They went through the much talked about

399
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: defensive players only meeting last week and they did some

400
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: some different type of technique drills prior to practice tackling wise,

401
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 2: and yet there there doesn't seem to be a magic

402
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: bullet that that is capable of fixing the tackling woves

403
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 2: of this team. I think Next Gen had them unofficially

404
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: for fifteen tackles missed, allowing extra one hundred and thirty

405
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: three yards after the initial contact. That's a mind boggling now,

406
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: but that's a football field and a third after miss tackles.

407
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: That's crazy, you know. And you give up over five

408
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: hundred yards as a defensive football team, and over one

409
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty of those because you gave them those

410
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: yards by missing missing tackles. And that's not to say

411
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: you know, miss tackles that led to scores. You know

412
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: they were guilty of that infraction as well. Man, I

413
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: don't know, what do you What do you do? If

414
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: you're al Golden, you say, hey, let's scrimmage guys. You know,

415
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: we gotta we gotta get after this. We have to

416
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 3: get in a mindset where physicality is the name of

417
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: the game. We have to go and and when we

418
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: set foot on that football field, we have to believe

419
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: that we're the most physical unit out there. One on one,

420
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: every guy you match up against, you have to beat

421
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: your guy. You have to defeat him at the line

422
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: of scrimmage. You have to defeat your guy in space,

423
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 3: you have to make open field tackles. I don't know,

424
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: I don't know what you do. Do you beat up

425
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: the football team? You don't have that many guys. I mean,

426
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 3: do you take a chance and risk and injury to

427
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: somebody by scrimmaging people? I mean, you know, back in

428
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: the back in the day, there was the punishment theory.

429
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 3: You know, you didn't do well, you're gonna get punished,

430
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: and and you're gonna gonna hope you that that next

431
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: game comes sooner than it really is. You don't want

432
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: to go through this, day after day after day, what

433
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 3: the coaches are making you go through. But hopefully Al

434
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: Golden has a solution because right now it just does

435
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: not look good.

436
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the Bears through everything and the kitchen sink

437
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: at I mean yesterday, four different gadgets, gadget trick plays.

438
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 2: Although it's funny, and talking with some people who cover

439
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: the Bears, they say, Ben Johnson, it's just it's the

440
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: way he is. He doesn't consider him trick plays. He

441
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: considers it a variety of variation of his offense. And man,

442
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: it had to be, it had to have the head spinning,

443
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: especially if you're a young linebacker on this Bengals team

444
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 2: right now, a rookie linebacker. Stuff like that was going

445
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: on yesterday. I just had to have your spinning around

446
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: like the Exorcist.

447
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah really, I mean you're you're spinning like a top

448
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 3: you know. You know. Ben Johnson is creative and the

449
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: best way to attack a defense. Paul Brown always felt

450
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: this way is to run multiple plays out of the

451
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: same look. You know, maybe change the formation just a

452
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: little bit at the last minute when the defense feels

453
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: like they're they're set in terms of what you're lining

454
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: up formationally, and they have a good idea what play

455
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 3: you're gonna run, and then at the very last minute

456
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 3: you change it and kind of, you know, homeboy, what

457
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: do I do now? Put him in a little bit

458
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: of a panic. Ben Johnson is that kind of guy.

459
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 3: He's very, very creative with the way he looks at

460
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: the game of football, and you know, he's just he's

461
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: not gonna just line up and say it's me and

462
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: you and we're gonna go on a back alley and

463
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna have a brawl. We're gonna have a footbawl. Uh,

464
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: it's that's not the way he looks at the game

465
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: of football. He looks at it as I've got a

466
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 3: very very high football IQ. I know that everybody else

467
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: knows that, and I'm gonna show it.

468
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: The defense in the crosshairs right now, certainly. And and

469
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: let's add in some perspective on what is transpiring on

470
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: that side of the ball. Here's Dax Hill with Dan

471
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 2: Horde after the game.

472
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 8: Dax, I'm not sure what to say. I feel like

473
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 8: I've seen it all at this point. You probably feel

474
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 8: the same way. What's going through your mind right now?

475
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: Uh?

476
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 10: No words, I mean, I don't really have a whole

477
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 10: lot to say about that. It's just unfortunate to be

478
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 10: on that the wrong side of the ball.

479
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 8: But yeah, what would you identify as the biggest problems

480
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 8: that are happening on the defensive side right now?

481
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 10: Just not getting stops when we're supposed to be getting stops,

482
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 10: just being on the field too long, and when you're

483
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 10: on the field for that long, something's bound to happen.

484
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 10: So just got to get off the field early.

485
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 8: When the Bengals scored to take the lead with fifty

486
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 8: four seconds to go, those are the kinds of situations

487
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 8: that you probably love to have the opportunity to get

488
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 8: the final stop to clinch the win. What was what

489
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 8: were you thinking as you guys took the field defensively

490
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 8: under those circumstances.

491
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 10: Just keeping keep the ball and bounds. I think they

492
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 10: only had one time out and we just didn't do that.

493
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 8: So what was your view of the final touchdown and

494
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 8: what went wrong?

495
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: I didn't really see it.

496
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 10: I was on a blitch but just turned around saw

497
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 10: the guy score.

498
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 8: So it seemed like there was decent pressure at times

499
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 8: on Caleb Williams. You forced him to scramble around quite

500
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 8: a bit, unfortunately, just could not either sack him or

501
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 8: prevent him from scrambling. Did you view that as a

502
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 8: you know, a big key to why the Bears were

503
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 8: able to score what they did?

504
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 11: Oh?

505
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, if you can't get Caleb

506
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 10: Williams down, then I mean it's it's gonna be a

507
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 10: lone day. You know, he's you know, dynamic out of

508
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 10: the pocket, and we didn't really contain him as much

509
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 10: as we wanted to, so, uh, you know, the result

510
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 10: as the result.

511
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 8: I know it's hard for the guys on defense to

512
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 8: see the offense put up the point totals they've been

513
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 8: putting up and not come away with a win. What

514
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 8: is that feeling like for everybody on this side of

515
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 8: the locker room?

516
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 10: This unfortunate. There's just no words. I mean, we put

517
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 10: in the work, you know, throughout the entire weekend. We

518
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 10: just don't get the result on Sunday. It's just you

519
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 10: put in all that work and this is just what

520
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 10: it is.

521
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 9: So yeah, it's just hard.

522
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 8: Feel like a buy is needed.

523
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, I guess appreciate your time.

524
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: Thanks Jaxon Dax Hill after the game yesterday, and boy

525
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: Dave one final thought on the defense in this segment.

526
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: I look at their running numbers thirty seven carries, two

527
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty three yards, seven point six of Carrey.

528
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: Those in looking at them on paper, those look like

529
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: college numbers. That that's something like a running offense in

530
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: college football would pile up in a game to carry it.

531
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: And I remember when DeAndre Swift was ruled out on Friday,

532
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, well, maybe the Bengals get a little

533
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 2: bit of break here. DeAndre Swift's not going to play

534
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: and a seventh round pick named Manongaui rushes for big

535
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: time yarders to bring up a practiced guy, squad guy.

536
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: It was like who wants the football? There was There

537
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: were yards to be had yesterday on the ground.

538
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: No question. I mean, manung guy one hundred and seventy

539
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: six yards averaged six point eight to carry, unbelievable, had

540
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: a thirty nine yard saunter.

541
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 9: Uh.

542
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: The other thing is Caleb Williams created an extent plays. Yes,

543
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: he added fifty three yards rushing. That's a big number

544
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: at the quarterback position. When you're not calling design run plays,

545
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: you're not talking about quarterback counter, quarterback sweep, you know,

546
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: quarterback trap, You're not talking about those kind of things.

547
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: You're talking about a guy back to pass. You know,

548
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 3: five seconds, he's looking down the football field for five

549
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 3: five and a half seconds, doesn't like what he sees.

550
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: They're doing a pretty good job in coverage, but he

551
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: sees a lane that's opened up in the pass rush

552
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: and he just abuses that thing. Big guy, strong guy,

553
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 3: can run, very athletic. Caleb Williams was a factory yesterday.

554
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: Not only with that howards are hanging off his right shoulder,

555
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 3: but running the football.

556
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: No doubt, and you alluded to it It's what they

557
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: hoped they were getting at him, because there had been

558
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: he had been inconsistent. At times, he'd make a throw

559
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: that made your head hurt, or he made a decision

560
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: that really those were eliminated. Yesterday he showed on before

561
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: everybody's eyes, exactly what you were hoping for in developing

562
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: a franchise quarterback, no.

563
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: Question, I mean he he basically said to the Chicago Bears.

564
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 3: I know you've taken some heat for taking me with

565
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 3: the first pick in the draft. Yes, and thanks for

566
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: staying with me, Thanks for hanging in there, thanks for

567
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: letting me develop, Thanks for giving me time to develop

568
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 3: and understand what it takes to play at at the

569
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: level you need to play at in the National Football League.

570
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna pay it back. I'm gonna win a

571
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: lot of football games for you, and hopefully we'll go

572
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl.

573
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: Let's go to the offensive line side of things as

574
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 2: we continue here from Ted Carris and more. As we

575
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: navigate our way through this Monday night, It's Bengals Line

576
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: on the Bengals Radio Network at ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

577
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: Sports station. We were rolling right along on this Monday

578
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: night on the show We Call Bengals Line by Dude

579
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: on the Bengals Radio Network and on ESPN fifteen thirty

580
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports station oh Lancet.

581
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: The Bengals are definitely licking their wounds after fall into

582
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears, and time for the injury report presented

583
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 3: by Kettering Healthy, official healthcare provider of this Cincinnati Bengals,

584
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: providing the best care for the best fans. And I

585
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 3: really don't know of any serious, you know, injuries. It's

586
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: gonna cost the team multiple games with a player there

587
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 3: may be a spray, a twist, a bruise or whatever.

588
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: Guys were in the in the tent, uh getting getting

589
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: checked out, X Ray's being taken, that sort of thing.

590
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco kind of tweaked that bad shoulder that he's got,

591
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: but he ended up coming back into the football game.

592
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: So all in all, I think the players pretty much

593
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: sucked it up and worked that way through any ailments

594
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: that may have been there.

595
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see if anything comes out of

596
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: the samajp Ryan, who that dude's a warrior. He took

597
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: that hit and he was down and it looked really bad,

598
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 2: and then he jumped up and like like I'm I'm fine,

599
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to the sidelines. I've got a job to do.

600
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: Don't worry about me. And that's that's just who he is,

601
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: no doubt.

602
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 3: I mean, and he was. They showed him on the

603
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: sideline and he was gritting his teeth and he was

604
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: grinding his teeth. You know that that that's a good

605
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: indicator that you're dealing with some pain. But yeah, I mean,

606
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: there he was back in the football game, running hard.

607
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: That guy. I got a lot of respect for his game.

608
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 3: He's a He's a big, powerful, sturdy back. There's no

609
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: question about it. He goes downhill as well as anybody man.

610
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: He takes online backers and and down lineman. Uh. It

611
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: just he gives his body up. He sacrifices it for

612
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: the for the good of the football team. Great short

613
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: yardage goal line guy. Uh. The Bengals really like him,

614
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: and they should.

615
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: He's a guy Dave that he may not be the

616
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 2: the All Pro, he may not get the headlines, he

617
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: may not put up amazing numbers, but he's a guy

618
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: every team can use because he can do a lot

619
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: of things. He does them because he knows it helps

620
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: his team win. And he doesn't say boo about doing it.

621
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: That may be running, catching, blocking, tag, whatever it is,

622
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: he's willing to do it.

623
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 3: Yep. And uh, you know yesterday he wasn't a huge factor,

624
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: only one carry for five yards in that in that

625
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: running game. But again, like you said, he's willing to

626
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: do whatever task needs to be done for his football

627
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: team to win the football game. And that means, you know,

628
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: getting the nasty, tough short yardage, goal line yards, picking

629
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: up first downs and picking up touchdowns, catching the football

630
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 3: out of the backfield, running, running real good routes, soft hands,

631
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: catch the ball, put it away. He doesn't turn it over.

632
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: He is basically allergic to turnovers. He hates them, doesn't

633
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: want any part of them. And then the best, the

634
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: last thing that he does about as good as anybody

635
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL, in my opinion, at the running back position.

636
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: He will stick his nose right in the chest of

637
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: a linebacker and do a hell of a job and

638
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: blitz pick up for Joe Flacco or Joe Burrow.

639
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: Another guy who's a pros pro on this team is

640
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: Ted Carris. Let's go inside the locker room after the game.

641
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: Our friend James Rapine from Bengals Talk passed along a

642
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: part of a conversation of Ted Terrris expressing what's going

643
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: on with his team right now. Here's the veteran offensive lineman.

644
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 12: Very grateful to be healthy and uh to play in

645
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 12: the NFL and excited to see my family tonight. Obviously,

646
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 12: two artbreakers in a row. Pretty crazy. So yeah, I've

647
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 12: never recovered onside kick in the NFL. And and then

648
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 12: went down and won. So that was I told everyone,

649
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 12: sit down, it's not over. Obviously it wasn't, So maybe

650
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 12: I won't say that next time.

651
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: You've never done that.

652
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 13: You said you covered it onside and I've never done that. No,

653
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 13: it was pretty unique and pretty cool.

654
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 9: Cool.

655
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 12: That was a really good kick by uh because it

656
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 12: didn't go ten, but it hit the guy.

657
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 13: What did you learn about Joe Flacco this week?

658
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 9: He's a grinder.

659
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 13: I mean, he's a freaking Hall of Famer guy goes

660
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 13: out there.

661
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 12: I mean you should see his freaking ac Man, It's

662
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 12: like crazy, goes out there, throws what five four seventy five?

663
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 12: Come on, man, he can't ask for more than that

664
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 12: out of your cue. So what a what a great

665
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 12: addition to the team.

666
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 8: You've seen a lot of ball.

667
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 13: Have you ever seen anything.

668
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: Like that game?

669
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 12: No, I'm not I have not seen anything like that game.

670
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 13: That was a crazy ending.

671
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 12: You know, hard to denote something as a classic when

672
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 12: you lose, but that was.

673
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 13: At an all time game eight days ago.

674
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 14: If I would have said, hey, you can to score

675
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 14: eighty points as a team, because he had seven today

676
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 14: with Charlie, but eighty nboo and two, what do you

677
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 14: think your reaction would have been.

678
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 13: I don't think I would have had a reaction, James.

679
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 13: I think I would have called you a liar.

680
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 15: How do you fight frustration and avoiding the stuff, the

681
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 15: finger pointing type stuff that you need to try to

682
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 15: avoid in the locker room.

683
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 8: Where do you start with that as a captain?

684
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 12: Well, we'll let We'll let the city do enough finger pointing.

685
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 12: I'm sure there's enough to go around. But hey, I

686
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 12: mean we just got to get ready to go get

687
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 12: a week off, and then we got Pittsburgh. So I mean, Jase,

688
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 12: here we go and there's the NFL. So grateful to

689
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 12: be here. I wish would have won. But Cammy, is.

690
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 16: There an accumulating frustration in the fact that a lot

691
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 16: of the ways that y'all have lost with this year

692
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 16: at times have looked like it did last year. Is

693
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 16: there any accumulating frustration in that way? Even when Burrow

694
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 16: was healthy, games kind of looked like this at certain

695
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 16: points I had I.

696
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 12: Have no accumulating frustration. I'm sure some people do, but

697
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 12: I'm not.

698
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: I have a job to do.

699
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 13: So, you know, we had a good front in front

700
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 13: of us.

701
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 12: Say we had Grady Jarrett Dexter sweat, I mean we

702
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 12: have we have to think about other things. We got

703
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 12: guys coming and trying to run down your face. So

704
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 12: I thought we did a good job as an O

705
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 12: line protecting them. They got one cheap one on a squeeze.

706
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: But.

707
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 13: Overall I thought we can put up what forty two

708
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 13: or thirty five as an O one with Charlie.

709
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: That was great.

710
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 13: So you know, oh well we'll get a week off.

711
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 12: I'm enjoying the time with my daughter and uh get

712
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 12: a jump start on the Pittsburgh Steelers who are rolling

713
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 12: right now.

714
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: Take Carris after the game. And if you're looking for

715
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: guys who can to use the cliche steady at ship

716
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: in shaky waters, Ted Carris has been there, done that.

717
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: It is one of those calming voices of reason and

718
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: leadership on this team.

719
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: You're right on the money there, Lance. I mean, he's

720
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 3: a grizzled veteran YEP that has the respect and trust

721
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: of his teammates, you know, particularly guys up front, particularly

722
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: the offensive line. It's almost like he's another coach on

723
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: the field, you know, the way he handles things. He's

724
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: you know, he's approaching double digit years. He's one of

725
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: the most experienced, if not the most experienced veteran player

726
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: on the football team, and everybody looks to him for

727
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: leadership and he's more than willing to provide it. It

728
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what position or how many years you're in

729
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: the league. If you're a you know, a rookie to

730
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: a fourth year player just now starting to get vested

731
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: for your retirement, and you want to know what you

732
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: need to do and how you need to do it

733
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: to hang around the National Football League and play as

734
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: long as you possibly can. Just have a conversation, sit

735
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: down with Ted Carriss. He'll tell you how to take

736
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 3: care of your body, how to work out and make

737
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: your body bigger and strong longer, how to compete at

738
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 3: the highest level in the National Football League, the guys

739
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: that you're going to be going up against. Ted Carriss

740
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: is a gem. He is man and the Bengals that's

741
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: one of the best deals that they've ever made in

742
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: franchise history in my opinion, when they got Ted Carriss,

743
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 3: they got the New England Patriots to part with Ted.

744
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 2: Carriss, boy, and think about it, if and so many

745
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: times you hear of a player who said, this guy,

746
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: when I was young and coming into the league, took

747
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: me under his arm and I learned from him. You've

748
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: got two rookie guards and Dylan Fairchroud and Jalen Rivers

749
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: wide eyed learning things for the first time. And to

750
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: have a guiding force like Ted Carriss that builds a

751
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: foundation that helps them become pros into the future.

752
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: Good point, Lance, I mean, you know your football and

753
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 3: you've seen a lot of football. Bob Johnson was that

754
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 3: guy from me. You know, the original Bengal first picking

755
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: the draft is nineteen sixty eight, his rookie year. Paul

756
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 3: Brown said, this is a foundational football player. We're gonna

757
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 3: we're gonna start at the center position and bill out

758
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 3: uh in in offense and uh We're gonna we're gonna

759
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: do the same thing on the defensive side of of

760
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: the football. So I can't say tell you how influential

761
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: he was in my understanding what it took to to

762
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: make a team. First of all, there's no guarantee you're

763
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 3: gonna make it. You get drafted, but you gotta make it.

764
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: And uh, and what it takes to compete on a

765
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 3: on a day to day basis in the national football

766
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 3: you get yourself better. And I was very fortunate had

767
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: Bob Johnson had John Shinner as a veteran played at Xaviers.

768
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: Zavier didn't even have football anymore. That's how long ago

769
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: we're talking about John Shinner's.

770
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 13: Uh.

771
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 3: Another pros pro, Howard fest was a messenger guard with

772
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: John Shinners running Holland Big Sookie out of Tennessee State.

773
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: He was Uh, he was a great player and and

774
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: just a character, just a great human being, a funny guy.

775
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: And Rufus may Is out of Ohio State, big roof.

Speaker 2: at you the following week. But we sort through what

808
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 2: transpires and then look ahead. We've got a whole lot

809
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: to still sort through. From yesterday forty seven to forty two,

810
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 2: the final score Chicago Bears went at pay Corps Stadium.

811
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 2: Let's add in some more offensive prospective. Chase Brown yesterday

812
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: carried eleven times for thirty seven yards, had a long

813
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 2: of twelve. He was targeted fourteen times. He was targeted

814
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: five more times than anybody else on the team. Had

815
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: eight catches for seventy five yards a law long of

816
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: twenty one. Here's Chase Brown after the game.

817
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 17: When you guys have back to back games where you

818
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 17: know you scored thirty eight points over forty points today

819
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 17: as an offense, does it almost feel like you guys

820
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 17: are in disbelief to the point like what more can

821
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 17: we do? Or how are you compartmentalizing these two losses?

822
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 13: Well, I think for us is.

823
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 18: Uh, you know, we made some good plays, but we

824
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 18: also weren't perfect. So that's what you're chasing this game

825
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 18: is perfection. At the end of the day, there's a

826
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 18: lot of things that we could have been better in

827
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 18: and you know, when we go and watch a film,

828
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 18: we'll we'll learn from them and move on and you know.

829
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 13: Let's just control what we can control at the end

830
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 13: of the day.

831
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: Losing like that is.

832
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's unbelievable, Like it's unbelievable. Last play the game

833
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 18: like it sucks, But that's NFL. You got to play

834
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 18: to the last second. You can't let up, even even

835
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 18: when you feel like the momentum shifted. So that would

836
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 18: that would be how I'm feeling right now is just

837
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 18: play all the way through and.

838
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 8: Always wrong through your head walking back to the locker.

839
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 18: Room chase, probably the same as what was running through

840
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 18: your head, like like what the what.

841
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 8: The when did that emotion change to just hanger?

842
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 12: Knowing how differently this season could have looked if you

843
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 12: closed out the last two weeks.

844
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 13: So it just it, just it.

845
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 18: I'd be lying if I said it didn't set us

846
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 18: back from where we want to be.

847
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 13: You know, we want to be.

848
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,479
Speaker 18: Our mentality was three and o going into the into

849
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 18: this bye week, and we we could have easily done it.

850
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 13: That's the sickening part. It's like we could have easily

851
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 13: done it.

852
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 8: One of the hensions.

853
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 12: It looks like it's building between the offense and defense,

854
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 12: at least from the outside.

855
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 15: What do you do as a leader on the team

856
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 15: of someone to kind of prevent that from how happening.

857
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 13: Just don't turn on each other, like we we know

858
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 13: how they can play.

859
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 18: They played really well at the start of the season

860
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 18: like they did and they like they were carrying us

861
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 18: on their back. So you know, now that we're stepping up,

862
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 18: I think like I think, like, you know, we just

863
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 18: got to play complimentary football, like we put the ball

864
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 18: in the end zone and go up a point at

865
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 18: the end, finish the game, like just end it, like

866
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 18: that's it, Like that's that's like that's what we need

867
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 18: to do. Just end the game, like make them, make

868
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 18: them get us the ball back.

869
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 13: Let us go to.

870
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 18: Twenty two victory and let's end the game. That's how

871
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 18: that's like, that's how I feel. You know what we like,

872
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 18: you know, we can't we we didn't.

873
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 13: We're taking steps forward so offensively, so that's good.

874
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 18: Like, you know, we're trying to control what we can control,

875
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 18: and we're going to keep doing what we can do.

876
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 13: And you know.

877
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 18: Flaco fought like a warrior today with you know, the

878
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 18: way his shoulder was, like, you know, things aren't going

879
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 18: to be perfect, but you know, we made things work

880
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 18: on our end, and you know, we made mistakes, we

881
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 18: learned from them, but we just kept on fighting and

882
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 18: with the end of the day, like you got to

883
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 18: go to the very end, Chase.

884
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 16: How frustrating is it that y'all got Flacco in here

885
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 16: to boost the offense, goes out does what he did

886
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 16: last week and this week and it still hasn't been enough.

887
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 16: How frustrating is it that it kind of has worked

888
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 16: out the way they hoped and just the results haven't

889
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 16: been there.

890
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, I think it's been enough.

891
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 18: It's just we got to finish, Like we just got

892
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 18: to finish at the end of the day, Like we're

893
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 18: putting points on the board now, so like, let's let's

894
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 18: let's finish off these games and get these wins, and

895
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 18: you know we'll be we'll be good.

896
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 8: Do you feel like last year at all?

897
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 13: In what way? I guess the score a lot not

898
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 13: always been enough.

899
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 18: I guess you could say there's similarities. But you know

900
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 18: we're not gonna turn on each other. We'll be just fun,

901
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 18: will be good.

902
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 19: Like you feel like you have to be perfect, almost

903
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 19: offensively chase for.

904
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 9: You guys to win.

905
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 18: At this point, that's our vul we we we chase

906
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 18: perfection every week.

907
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 13: So you chase perfection every week.

908
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 18: So you know, yeah, we weren't perfect today, so you

909
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 18: know we'll try to be perfect next next opportunity.

910
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 19: If you look at the effort that you had on

911
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 19: the final drive, that te had on the final drive,

912
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 19: I mean, guys are putting it on the line for

913
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 19: you to win games, and you leave here without a win.

914
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 19: What's that emotionally like for you? Considering what you're doing

915
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 19: to win.

916
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go do it next time we get the opportunity.

917
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 18: So that's just my mentality next time we're in that

918
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 18: same if we're in that same situation, I'm gonna do

919
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 18: the same thing, do whatever I can to make a

920
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 18: play and put the team in position to win. And

921
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 18: that's all I care about the end of the day.

922
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 18: I don't care if I flip or I know any

923
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 18: playmaker on this team, any any position, Like, we're all

924
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 18: willing to do whatever it takes a win.

925
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 13: We just gotta finish.

926
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 18: I think that's like what you go into this bye week,

927
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 18: think you and kind of repeating to yourself is.

928
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 13: Just finish, finish, Finish these goddamn games. Finish them.

929
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 14: Given the fact that you went up against this defense

930
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 14: and training camp and how they started the season, is

931
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 14: it surprising that they haven't finished the past couple of

932
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 14: weeks and and got these ones for you? M Oh okay,

933
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 14: yeahs it surprising that they didn't do theirs. I'm like,

934
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 14: I don't know, old No, your own defense, you face

935
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 14: them every day.

936
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, we know what they can do, So that's it.

937
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 18: Just play up to your standard and when it's your

938
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 18: opportunity to strap somebody up or make the tackle or

939
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 18: whatever it is.

940
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 9: Do it.

941
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 8: Think you're leadership on that side of the ball right now.

942
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 18: I think so we got leaders, we got vets, we

943
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,959
Speaker 18: got guys with you know, captain Badgers on their chests

944
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 18: like we're good.

945
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 13: There no stepping up up in a big way.

946
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 18: I think, Uh, you know, they just need they just

947
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 18: need to figure it out.

948
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 13: They'll be good. Like they'll be good, they'll do.

949
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 15: So does it feel like the season is slipping away

950
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 15: on you guys a little bit right now?

951
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 18: We're just gonna keep you know, keep a foot all

952
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 18: the way down in the throttle and we'll be good. Well,

953
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 18: we're not gonna we just can't lose a locker run.

954
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 18: That's if we can't lose. Like, I'm not gonna point fingers.

955
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 18: I could have been better today. That's how I'm feeling

956
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 18: leaving the field. Like, you know, I'll focus on me

957
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 18: and let everybody else focus on what they need to

958
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 18: get better at. And then when we come together and

959
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 18: against the next opponent, you know, we're all gonna be better.

960
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 18: So yeah, that's what we're gonna do.

961
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 2: Chase Brown after the game yesterday, and he, like most

962
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,959
Speaker 2: there was that expression of back to what Zach said,

963
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 2: I can't believe this happened today, And who would believe

964
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: had had we said two weeks ago, Dave, the Bengals

965
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: will score thirty eight points and followed up with forty

966
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 2: two points and lose both of those games. Nobody would

967
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: have thought that possible. But we are looking at that

968
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 2: very fact right now. We certainly are, and it's it's

969
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 2: mind boggling. The Bengals ran the ball.

970
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: Just fifteen times yesterday, they threw it forty seven. When

971
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 3: you're that imbalanced, usually it's a blowout. But it was

972
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: a five point game, forty seven forty two. They scored

973
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: forty two points being that imbalanced. I mean, if they

974
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 3: can somehow balance up their offense where they run the

975
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: ball for one hundred and fifty yards and throw the

976
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: ball for two fifty or something like that, and you know,

977
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 3: and get after people with an offense that's generating three

978
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty three hundred and seventy five four hundred

979
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: yards offense and is is cranking, you know, twenty eight

980
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 3: to thirty five points. Yeah, that should that should win

981
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: you're a lot of football games. Now. Obviously it would

982
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 3: have come up far short yesterday, There's no doubt about that.

983
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: But you know, you take away the twelve yard carry,

984
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: ten carries for twenty five yards, two point five a

985
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 3: rush for Chase Brown, on ten carries, and that's not

986
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 3: that's not Chase Brown. You know, maybe every once in

987
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 3: a while he might have decided I'm gonna I misread that.

988
00:45:58,719 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: You know.

989
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: It came back to the my bad guys, it was blocked. Well,

990
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 3: I misread it more times than not. Though to my eye,

991
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: it was just the offensive line getting beat. In the

992
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: offensive line, instead of getting some push up front, they

993
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: were getting pushed. They were getting pushed back off the

994
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, and that's tough on any running back.

995
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 3: You see the numbers of your offensive lineman standing straight up,

996
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 3: you know that it's not going very well for those

997
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 3: guys up front.

998
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: David, I'll tell you what I love from the very

999
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: first offensive snap of the game for this team. And

1000
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: much has been made about how many targets Jamar Chase

1001
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: had had twenty three two weeks ago, I think sixteen

1002
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,479
Speaker 2: last week. Tea was only targeted two times last week,

1003
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: only one catch. That was a subject of conversation throughout

1004
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: the week and whether they planned it or it just

1005
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: happened this way. The very first snap of the game,

1006
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco finds t Higgins and it was an omen

1007
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 2: of things to come. Nine targets, seven catches, one hundred

1008
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: and twenty one yards, two touchdowns. T had a big ge.

1009
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: T had a T Higgins day yesterday.

1010
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 3: He did. The fans were in full throw too.

1011
00:46:58,320 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 9: Man.

1012
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 3: That forty four yard touchdown catch was a thing of beauty.

1013
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: He really was. Oh he did. He's got such strong

1014
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 3: hands and and T is so good at the contested catch.

1015
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: He's got length, he's got strength, strong hands, he can

1016
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 3: he can snatch the football and put it away. And

1017
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 3: a really good route runner. You know, T Higgins would

1018
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,320
Speaker 3: be the number one receiver on thirty one other teams,

1019
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 3: but he's with Jamar Chase, and Jamar Chase triple crown

1020
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 3: winner last year. You know, catches yards and touchdowns, so

1021
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 3: got to get him involved. But with that said, you know,

1022
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 3: he T Higgins in Jamar Chase. Nine targets for T,

1023
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 3: eight for Jamar, seven catches for T. Six for Jamar,

1024
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty one yards for T. One hundred

1025
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 3: and eleven for Jamar, you know, and T had the

1026
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 3: two touchdowns. That that is gonna make it very very

1027
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 3: difficult for defenses because cheez, who do we double? You know,

1028
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 3: we double both of them and then Gasicki or somebody

1029
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: like that needs to step up. And that's the thing. Offensively,

1030
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: they've got all the weapons. They got a plethora of weapons.

1031
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 3: Whatever the defense does, the Bengals have a counter move

1032
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 3: to it, you know, I mean, if it's a chess match,

1033
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 3: they're not going to get checkmated.

1034
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 2: How about this and I five me another team that

1035
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: can say this is that from an offensive skill set.

1036
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: Catches yesterday long catches. Chase Brown had a long of

1037
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty one. He had a long of forty four, Chase

1038
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 2: thirty six, Yoshi twenty eight, Hudson had a thirty three

1039
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 2: yard catch. Fans had a twenty three yard catch. Tinsley

1040
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 2: had a twenty seven yard catch Dave. Seven different guys

1041
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: yesterday had catches for at least twenty three yards.

1042
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 3: That's crazy, it is, It's absolutely crazy. And only seven

1043
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 3: guys had a catch, so every single one of the

1044
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 3: receivers had a reception of twenty yards more twenty three,

1045
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 3: twenty seven, twenty eight, thirty three, thirty six, twenty one

1046
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 3: for Chase Brown out of the backfield. Higgins the forty

1047
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 3: four yard touchdown. Like we said, two touchdown passes were

1048
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: long long range, long distance t. Higgins and no offense.

1049
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 3: And that's what we're talking about if they do start

1050
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 3: paying a hell of a lot of attention outside Gasiki

1051
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 3: was nicked up, you know, he wasn't available. But if

1052
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 3: you have a Gasiki and Fan keeps developing, now you

1053
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: have two tight ends that can hurt you the way

1054
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 3: those guys showed that they can hurt you, and then

1055
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 3: throw Hudson in there to boot. I mean it. There's

1056
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: no shortage of weapons now, Yep. The quarterbacks aren't complaining

1057
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 3: about that. There's no shortage of guys for them to

1058
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 3: sling the football to.

1059
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: Had a final point that the two tight ends Hudson

1060
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 2: and Fan combined had five targets. They caught four of

1061
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: them for seventy yards and a touchdown. Nice out of work.

1062
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: That's a heck of a day from your tight end

1063
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 2: all day, every day. No hang type more to get

1064
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: to here from Jamar Chase on the offensive side of things.

1065
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 2: So we roll on with Bengals Line on the Bengals

1066
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: Radio Network and ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station.

1067
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:00,919
Speaker 9: You were old right.

1068
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: Along in this Monday night, navigating our way through three

1069
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: hours of Bengal's conversation looking back at yesterday forty seven

1070
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: forty two at pay Corps. The bye week coming up,

1071
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 2: but we've got ground to cover between now and nine

1072
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight, so let's continue on. Jamar Chase yesterday targeted

1073
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 2: eight times, six catches, one hundred and eleven yards, an

1074
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: average of eighteen and a half per catch along of

1075
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 2: thirty six. Here's Jamar meeting with the media after the game.

1076
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 20: Often's got a final way to put the bott in

1077
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 20: the game away? Somehow, some way you gotta do it.

1078
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 3: How do you keep.

1079
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 8: Putting it on the offense his shoulders?

1080
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 6: Considering what you've all.

1081
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 20: Watched the last month or so, you say, why, Yeah,

1082
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 20: that's only the way we're gonna fix it. I don't

1083
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 20: know how why that's what I'm looking to keep pointing

1084
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 20: at offense.

1085
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 9: I can't point out the defense.

1086
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 3: You haven't been.

1087
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 21: Around a comeback like that before. No, fifteen points in

1088
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 21: like about a minute and a half. No, who's going

1089
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 21: three of mine is in the last call?

1090
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 3: What was working?

1091
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 9: What was the uh?

1092
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 13: Guys put up a lot of fundy yet.

1093
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 20: I don't know exactly what was working at in the day.

1094
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 20: It was a lot and everybody had opportunity to touch the bottle.

1095
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 20: This so the offense was uh, very very versatile today.

1096
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 8: I mean, what Flacca's doing is pretty extraordinary, more than

1097
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 8: three hundred yards in the second half alone. What has

1098
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 8: he shown you?

1099
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 20: He's a veteran, he's showing us he a vetter.

1100
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 8: When you scored with fifty four seconds to go to

1101
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 8: take the lead, what was running through your mind?

1102
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 9: And the defense gonna stop?

1103
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 14: It's coming frustrating at this point talking about, you know,

1104
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 14: just needing eating stops as.

1105
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 9: This time was why wee can meet up?

1106
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 20: I'm getting tirdy I asking me about the defense and stops? Yeh,

1107
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 20: I aks the defense that stopped asking me that on

1108
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 20: my offensive play.

1109
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 3: A though.

1110
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 6: Joe was just.

1111
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 19: Talking in there about the the importance of what you

1112
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 19: guys said eight weeks left.

1113
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 9: It's an emotional game.

1114
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 19: But all you can do is put your head down

1115
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 19: in work. How will you approach the next week and

1116
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 19: a half.

1117
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 20: But now what I did this week, i'm'a keep working

1118
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 20: and being myself.

1119
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 22: Takes some work tomorrow. What what does it say about

1120
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 22: Joe Flackellen what he was able to do, fight through

1121
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 22: the shoulder injury and throw f four seventy were veteran.

1122
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 20: It's used to it kept his composure the whole game.

1123
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 3: How hard is it to keep your composure after a

1124
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 3: game like this?

1125
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 9: It's not fun when you losing.

1126
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 22: I guess I'll ask you the same question I asked

1127
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 22: last week? How hard or what's it going to be

1128
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 22: like maintaining hope through the bye week for the second half.

1129
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 20: I'll go back to practice, work there and just play football.

1130
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 14: Felt like you guys are kind of on the other

1131
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 14: end of of what happened last week. You rally in

1132
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 14: the fourth party to score two touchdowns in like a

1133
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 14: minute of game time. What goes through your mind when

1134
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 14: you're scoring that second touchdown and particul a leap.

1135
00:52:58,880 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 9: Deep thing to get a stop?

1136
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 2: Jamar after the game, and Jamar was asked about it.

1137
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: Chase Brown was asking about it. Everybody in the offense

1138
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 2: has been asked about it. And it's that it's that

1139
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 2: delicate balance Dave of when when one side is putting

1140
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 2: up so many points and the other side isn't, the

1141
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 2: questions become about, you know, how do you feel about

1142
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,919
Speaker 2: the other guys not helping you out? And that makes

1143
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 2: it it's always very uncomfortable and it's always a delicate

1144
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 2: line because it is a team and you don't want

1145
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: to throw anybody under the bus. But on one side

1146
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 2: of the room, you've got a group that's doing their job,

1147
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: and on the other side you're looking and saying, can

1148
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 2: we get a little bit of help here?

1149
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1150
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and in the locker room, they know that,

1151
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 3: they understand that, you know, and it's almost like the

1152
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 3: defensive players come up to, you know, Joe Flacco and

1153
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and t Higgins after the game say hey, guys, man,

1154
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 3: you balled out. You gave every everything you had. Sorry

1155
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 3: we could, we didn't give you enough support. We didn't

1156
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 3: get it done. And you know, it literally does happen.

1157
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 3: Some guys do do that. I mean, they feel like, man,

1158
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 3: I just totally did not fulfill my responsibilities to help

1159
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 3: a football team win. And uh, you know it's it stinks.

1160
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I've gotta I've gotta, I gotta be better.

1161
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 3: I have to do a better job. I got to

1162
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 3: take care of business and whatever I need to do

1163
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 3: to take care of business, whether it's you know, change

1164
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 3: my diet, change my workout habits, my uh procedure, how

1165
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 3: many days a week. I do it. When I work

1166
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 3: out how I work out. Uh, that's that's where they are.

1167
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 3: The season is on the brink, as the old saying goes,

1168
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 3: and everybody's got to do whatever it takes to get

1169
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 3: the thing turned around quickly. Boy.

1170
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 2: And you think there have been there's there's a lot

1171
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: of guys on the defensive side who are young and learning,

1172
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: and that's that's always tough. But in tough times to

1173
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 2: be in that situation, there's that back to the old

1174
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 2: Marvin Lewis cliche, farm your own crops, do your job.

1175
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 2: And when so much chaos is happening with the defense,

1176
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: I would think the the inclination is I got to

1177
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 2: make all the plays and I got to be everywhere

1178
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 2: at the same time. And when that happens, it's just

1179
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 2: it's just chaos. And sometimes it looks like on the

1180
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 2: field there's guys running around trying to do ten other

1181
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 2: guys jobs.

1182
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and that's that's when you're you're one step away

1183
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 3: from chaos.

1184
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.

1185
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 3: It's like there's the coaches burn the midnight oil, putting

1186
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,919
Speaker 3: together game plans, putting together sche manics, putting together playbooks,

1187
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 3: putting together you know, everything they can to get you

1188
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 3: in a position to win a football game. And if

1189
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 3: you decide, yeah, the hell with it, it's not working.

1190
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: And then panic sets in and guys, I'm gonna make

1191
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 3: every tackle. I'm gonna have a fifty tackle game. You know,

1192
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 3: It's like, come on, man, you know, just play football.

1193
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 3: It's it's selfish. They're trying not to be They're trying

1194
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 3: to be just the opposite.

1195
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: Right, They're trying to help. They take their help anything.

1196
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: Anything, and and literally, I mean, I'll give my right arm,

1197
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 3: I'll give my right leg, you know, if that's what

1198
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 3: it takes. Some guys are of that mindset, particularly crazy linebackers. Man,

1199
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 3: it's that that is a uh that's a tough place

1200
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 3: to be and uh the uh you have to go

1201
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 3: see a sports psychologist and say, you know, how do

1202
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 3: I how do I get over this? How do I

1203
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 3: what do I do? How do I? How do I

1204
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 3: take care of business in a different way? And it's

1205
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 3: it's not an easy deal. And and you know, wives

1206
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 3: and kids, uh suffer repercussions from that, and sometimes you know,

1207
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 3: it leads to divorce and and and things that are

1208
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 3: tough in life, not just football life, but life in general.

1209
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 3: So man, you can never take anything for granted, particularly

1210
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: in the game of football.

1234
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 8: Time for some fun facts with tight end Noah Fan

1235
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 8: from Omaha, Nebraska, the biggest city in Nebraska, the home

1236
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 8: of the College World Series Noah. Based on what I've read,

1237
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 8: you're the youngest of six kids. Is that accurate? And

1238
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 8: what was that like?

1239
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm definitely definitely the youngest of six, three brothers

1240
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 11: and two sisters, and it was a great, great upbringing.

1241
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 9: Definitely.

1242
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 11: My my siblings thought I was a little bit spoiled,

1243
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 11: but it was great. I have great relationships with all

1244
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 11: of them, so couldn't complain.

1245
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 8: It's funny you say that because I'm the fourth of five,

1246
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 8: and my older siblings always said, You've got it so easy.

1247
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 8: Mom and dad have just kind of given up. They're

1248
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 8: letting you do whatever you want.

1249
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1250
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 11: No, I definitely definitely think there's some of the same.

1251
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 11: But my parents were tough on me growing up, but

1252
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 11: in a good way, so I was blessed to have them.

1253
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 8: One of your older brothers was your high school coach.

1254
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 8: Was he tough on you?

1255
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 10: Uh?

1256
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think so.

1257
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 11: I think my brother just wanted the best for me,

1258
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 11: wanted me to do achieved greatness, And yeah, he was

1259
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 11: a big part of my development early on growing up,

1260
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 11: as with my dad and my mom.

1261
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 9: But yeah, he was. He was a big part of that.

1262
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 8: You attended Omaha South High School but also took classes

1263
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 8: at the University of Nebraska Medical Center while you were

1264
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 8: in high school. Tell me about that.

1265
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, the un m C High School Alliance was kind

1266
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 11: of a program for high school students to kind of

1267
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 11: get a fast track to.

1268
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 9: Any medical profession that they wanted to get into going

1269
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 9: into college.

1270
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 11: So it was taking college classes out of college at

1271
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 11: a college campus and you know, kind of working in

1272
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 11: and seeing what path we wanted to take when we

1273
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 11: got into college.

1274
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 9: So it was a great experience.

1275
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 11: And I still keep in touch with some of the

1276
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 11: people that run that program and have gone back to

1277
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 11: visit before. And yeah, I'm just super fortunate to be

1278
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 11: able to partake in that.

1279
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 8: You dealt with Kidavers, Yeah, what was that like?

1280
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 9: You know, it's definitely a unique experience.

1281
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,959
Speaker 11: Not something that I thought that I would have been

1282
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 11: doing that young but uh man, what a cool like

1283
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 11: a like a cool experience and a blessing for me

1284
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 11: to be able to do that at such a young

1285
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 11: age and really learn. I learned so much in that

1286
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 11: in that program and the classes that I took, so

1287
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 11: I was super fortunate to be able to be a

1288
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 11: part of that.

1289
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 8: In your scouting report coming out of college on NFL

1290
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 8: dot com, it said you had an idea of possibly

1291
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 8: being a surgeon after playing football. Is that still a

1292
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 8: remote possibility in your mind?

1293
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 11: I'm not so sure yet. There's a lot of schooling

1294
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 11: that I would have to go through after playing football

1295
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 11: in year seven, so we'll see how it plays out.

1296
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 11: But not shutting in any doors.

1297
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 8: We're visiting with Noah Fant. When it came time to

1298
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 8: pick a college, you chose the school with a reputation

1299
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 8: of being tight end You Iowa, Dallas Clark, George Kittle, TJ. Howkinson,

1300
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 8: Sam Laporta, Eric alf from the Bengals, and others. How

1301
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 8: do you explain that lineage of Greade tight ends?

1302
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1303
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 11: I think that just like when I was going to Iowa,

1304
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 11: the guys that were kind of there before me were

1305
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 11: like Dallas car Tony Malaki, I think Scott Chandler, guys

1306
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 11: of that nature that had been there before and had

1307
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 11: made it to the NFL. And it was just kind

1308
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 11: of one of those things that was that was a

1309
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 11: selling point that if I wanted to play tight end

1310
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 11: in a in an offense that used the tight end

1311
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 11: quite often, that I wanted to be able to do

1312
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 11: that and go and go there. And obviously my freshman

1313
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 11: year was Georgia's senior year, and then after that it's

1314
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 11: just been pumping out tight ends, uh, definitely more frequently

1315
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 11: ever since. So it's been It's been a really cool

1316
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 11: experience to be a part of.

1317
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 9: For sure.

1318
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 8: Is it almost like a self fulfilling prophecy where the

1319
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 8: best high school tight ends in the country gravitate to

1320
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 8: Iowa and then it's almost destiny that they're going to

1321
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 8: turn out to be pros.

1322
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 11: You know, Honestly, I think that I wouldn't necessarily say

1323
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,959
Speaker 11: the best, like the best top recruits that tightened really

1324
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 11: go to Iowa. I think I would does a really

1325
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 11: good job of identifying guys that have the traits and

1326
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 11: then developing them.

1327
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 9: Like when I was coming out of high school.

1328
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,439
Speaker 11: As a three star athlete out of Nebraska, I had

1329
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 11: like fifteen offers from different schools, but wasn't like a

1330
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 11: top recruited five star tight end coming out of out

1331
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 11: of high school. So they do a great job of

1332
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 11: identifying guys with those traits and developing them into a

1333
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 11: all around tight end. So that was something I was

1334
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 11: really proud of going there and being a part of.

1335
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 8: After three years with the Hot Eyes, you entered the

1336
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 8: draft and were selected in the first round twentieth overall

1337
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 8: by Denver. Describe your draft night experience.

1338
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a great experience.

1339
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously it was waiting a little bit twenty

1340
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 11: picks in, but it wasn't complaining at all. It was

1341
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 11: just like a very stressful situation. But what a cool

1342
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 11: experience for me and my family being there all together

1343
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 11: in the green room and getting that call from Denver

1344
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 11: at the time, and it was a surreal moment, So

1345
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 11: really cool experience for for me and my family.

1346
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 8: You had three good years in Denver, you probably expected

1347
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 8: to be there for a long long time, and then

1348
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 8: the Broncos pulled off a blockbuster trade for Russell Wilson,

1349
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 8: giving up multiple high draft picks and yourself in that deal.

1350
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 8: Did you have any inkling that you might be traded

1351
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 8: or was it a total shock?

1352
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 9: No, I was.

1353
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 11: I was pretty shocked, to be honest with you, Hindsight

1354
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 11: twenty twenty. Obviously, I'll understand, right, it's like you get

1355
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 11: your shot at a franchise quarterback at the time that

1356
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 11: you think it's your franchise quarterback, and you're gonna do whatever.

1357
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 11: You know, you're not going to hold back a tight

1358
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 11: end for that deal, you know what I'm saying. So

1359
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 11: I understood, I understood it. I was definitely shocked and

1360
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 11: taken it back by it. Some would say blindsided, but like, man,

1361
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 11: it was such crazy experience. And obviously was traded to

1362
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 11: Seattle and had some good years there, but uh, yeah,

1363
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 11: it was. It was definitely wild, a wild experience for sure.

1364
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 8: So three years in Denver, three years in Seattle, and

1365
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 8: then earlier this year they let you go kind of

1366
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 8: in a salary cap dump type situation. But it did

1367
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,919
Speaker 8: give you the opportunity to choose for the first time

1368
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 8: since you were in high school. Did you enjoy that?

1369
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 11: It was a very interesting experience because it was I

1370
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 11: supposed choosing, but at a time that was very late

1371
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 11: in the process, and you know, got people had already

1372
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 11: really had the roster set and things of that nature.

1373
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 11: So yeah, it was nice to choose, I suppose, but

1374
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,439
Speaker 11: like wasn't an ideal situation that late in the game,

1375
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 11: which was kind of a little frustrating. But yeah, I

1376
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 11: was happy to be able to land in Cincinnati. What

1377
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 11: a great place for me to land at with coach

1378
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 11: Taylor and pitch and James Casey is a great, great

1379
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 11: Titans coach. I've been really really fortunate to be able

1380
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 11: to work with them and be in a good situation here.

1381
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 11: So it ended up working out, But obviously it was

1382
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 11: definitely a process to get there for sure.

1383
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 8: All Right, a few wild card topics now for Bengals

1384
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 8: type and Noah Fan, who is your all time favorite

1385
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 8: athlete in any sport?

1386

1418
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 11: I just kind of I try to view myself as

1419
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 11: like a like a pretty multi faceted guy, Like I

1420

Speaker 11: just like a lot of different things. I do a

1421
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 11: lot of different things, and I don't think there's just

1422
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 11: one one singular thing that I'm like super talented at though.

1423
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,919
Speaker 8: All Right, final fun fact for Noah F This one's

1424
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 8: kind of deep. If you could meet anybody in history,

1425
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 8: living or deceased, who would that person be?

1426
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 11: I would want to EAT's my dad's dad. He passed

1427
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 11: away when my dad was very young, so it'd have

1428
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 11: been my grandpa. But I never got to meet him.

1429
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 11: But I definitely wouldn't want to met him and just

1430
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 11: kind of talk to him and see what he see

1431
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 11: how he viewed life, see how he viewed everything. Obviously

1432
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 11: my dad didn't wasn't able to have those those moments

1433
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 11: with him very long, But yeah, I think those would

1434
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 11: be some really cool conversations to see what he thought.

1435
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,919

1450
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 2: let's start it off with conversation with the man who

1451

Speaker 2: plays special teams and linebacker. He's the veteran want to

1452

1454
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 23: They played fast, we played physical. Like I said, this

1455
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 23: player here here or there, they're gonna change the game.

1456
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 23: So for us, it's about sick sticking together in our room,

1457
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 23: and I truly believe that they're going to be on

1458
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 23: the other side of this thing.

1459
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 9: At the end of the year. Did they do it

1460
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 9: on the ground?

1461
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 23: Would just run ball? All the runs that we've seen

1462
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 23: throughout the year, same shots, Thomas.

1463
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,000

1467
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 23: an opportunity to get to the ball and.

1468
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 9: Just got a scratch, claw, crawl, just.

1469
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,600
Speaker 23: Try to get the ball out. That's that was my

1470
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 23: first time getting on side. So it was pretty pretty cool.

1471
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 6: You grab it for somebody?

1472
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 13: What was going on down there?

1473
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 9: Is just a scrum man just trying to get the ball.

1474
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 13: Did you guys know that they touched it so it

1475
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:11,880

Speaker 9: out to block.

1478
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 22: So when you're a veteran, obviously you've played on championship teams,

1479
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 22: what is your message to younger players who are obviously very.

1480
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 4: Emotional right now?

1494
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:47,799

Speaker 23: we just came up short. And you know, there's no

1539
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 23: point in the fingers is again like everybody looking internally

1540
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 23: at ourselves, How can I be better? Just being the

1541
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,520
Speaker 23: best riding themselves out there on the field, and collectively

1542
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 23: that's what we're gonna like the results if you could

1543
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 23: continue to do that.

1544
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 15: Are there times in your career, whether defenses or just

1545
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 15: teams you were on just seem like it was kind

1546
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 15: of going the wrong way no matter what you've tried,

1547
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 15: and then you guys found a way to dog guys

1548
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 15: or something you look back on and remember his keys

1549
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 15: to things like that.

1550
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 23: Yeah, I feel like in life in general, you're going

1551
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 23: to face adversities. Is how you respond. And like I

1552
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 23: said this, this team has no quit. The guys are

1553
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 23: committed to getting it right. It hasn't shown yet. Well,

1554
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 23: you know, I feel like we're continuing taking steps forward

1555
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 23: to get better.

1556
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 8: Thanks Flacko's performance, I mean, four hundred and fifty plus

1557
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 8: three hundred yards in the second half with an ac

1558
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 8: joint sprain. Are you just astounded by what that guy's doing.

1559
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 23: Yeah, guy's tough. Guy's tough. He's been playing this league

1560
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 23: for a long time. There's a reason why. And you know,

1561
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 23: for him to step up in that way coming off

1562
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 23: of you know, a cu on the throwing on that's

1563
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 23: that just shows like how much he's committed to giving

1564
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 23: his best.

1565
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 9: And for us, it's like, all right, we look at that.

1566
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 23: You know that that should inspire us to give a

1567
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 23: little bit more. So, just hats off to him the

1568
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 23: training staff for getting him right this week on a

1569
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 23: quick turnaround. You know, so we just got to get

1570
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 23: right back with the boy. We get fresh and get

1571
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 23: healthy and be ready to go.

1572
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 8: For the wrong rung with the on side kick recovery

1573
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 8: and the subsequent touchdown where you briefly thinking this is

1574
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 8: going to go down as one of the most memorable

1575
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 8: wins that I've been a part of.

1576
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 23: Man, I've been just trying to do the best I

1577
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 23: can on that one play. You know, we had one

1578
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 23: a couple of weeks ago. We had the opportunity to

1579
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 23: get the ball and then you know, I looked at Tanner,

1580
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 23: I was like, we gotta get this one. So, you know, again,

1581
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 23: just believe in each other. I feel like that's the

1582
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 23: common theme is is sticking together and believe in each other.

1583
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 23: We're gonna like we'll see at the end of the day.

1584
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 6: Along side Kick, what happened You're down in the bottom

1585
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 6: of the scrum. What was happening to you?

1586
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 23: I don't know what happened, man, I'm just trying to

1587
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 23: find a way to get it come up with the more. Yeah,

1588
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 23: I mean, that's that's part of everybody knows. The bottom

1589
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 23: of the pile can get kind of crazy. But you know,

1590
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 23: one objectives to come out with the ball, so you

1591
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 23: find a way to get that done.

1592
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 8: You always look forward to a bye week, but I

1593
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 8: think does this team really need it in the light

1594
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 8: of the last couple of weeks and how tough those

1595
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 8: losses have been.

1596
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think it's coming out a good time for us,

1597
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 23: you know, just refresh our minds, refresh our bodies, and

1598
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 23: come back ready to go for the wrong Hull.

1599
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 8: Appreciate your thank you.

1600
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 2: Oron Burks after the game and Dave, we were talking

1601
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,640
Speaker 2: about Ted Carris and his veteran presence and voice, and

1602
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 2: Oron Burks has been there, done that, He's been through

1603
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 2: winning times with the Philadelphia Eagles. He's a guy who

1604
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 2: embraces special teams. He can give you snaps on defense.

1605
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 2: He's another kind of like we talked about Sama J.

1606
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: P Ry just being a guy who may not be

1607
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 2: a star, but he's a guy that every roster needs

1608
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 2: if if they're going to get things done, and he

1609
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 2: can do.

1610
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 3: That absolutely, a guy that's versatile. Yeah, you know, can

1611
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 3: can do everything. Play the linebacker position for you do

1612
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 3: play the run, come Downhill's big enough to to stuff

1613
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 3: the running game and and uh come downhill defeat blockers.

1614
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 3: Uh shed those blockers and get off of them, and

1615
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 3: and and make plays. But he's also athletic enough with

1616
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 3: quick feet. Uh can move laterally well, can play zone

1617
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 3: or a man in your in past coverages. So you know,

1618
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 3: Al Golden loves the guy, and Darren Simmons does as well.

1619
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,600
Speaker 3: Darren Simmons he was he was all fired up. I

1620
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 3: mean it was fun to see Darren out there running

1621
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 3: out in the field high five and shaking hands with

1622
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 3: guys even before they you know, were totally off off

1623
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 3: the football field. There were some things that drove nuts

1624
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 3: as well. He was pulling his hair out by the

1625
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 3: by the roots. Got some bald coaches today in their

1626
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: coaches room up there in the shower, but I mean

1627
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 3: it is, uh. Aaron Buroks is a coach's dream. He's

1628
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 3: one of those guys that just does his job and

1629
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 3: is quiet about it, doesn't raise you know, he does

1630
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 3: not try to draw try to draw attention to himself,

1631
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 3: like look at me, I'm the man, I'm the guy.

1632
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 3: Total team player.

1633
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: Yesterday from the special team side of things, two hundred

1634
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 2: and ninety seven yards and kickoff return yards of course,

1635
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 2: helped by Charlie Jones going ninety nine, but p Ryan

1636
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 2: had a thirty nine yard kick return, Brooks had a

1637
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 2: thirty one yard kick return. And how about the recover

1638
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 2: the on side kick Dave? Going into yesterday, there had

1639
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 2: been fifty on side kick attempts this season and they're

1640
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 2: much harder because you have to declare and the rules

1641
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 2: have changed. But only three of fifty six percent of

1642
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 2: on side kicks had been recovered and the Bengals get

1643
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: one yesterday.

1644
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 3: That's big. That's big. That's uh. That's Darren Simmons at

1645
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 3: his finest right there, and it is I mean, talk

1646
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 3: to him about it. With the new the new formations

1647
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 3: that you have to get into for kickoff returns, and

1648
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 3: it's all all for player safety. It's all with right

1649
01:15:56,040 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 3: intentions in mind. But I wonder if this offseason or

1650
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 3: an offseason shortly thereafter, there is not some kind of

1651
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 3: movement by special teams, coaches and maybe organizations as a

1652
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 3: whole to go back to the old way of doing things,

1653
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 3: because I mean, when when Charlie Jones was returning that kickoff, man,

1654
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 3: I was jacked up, man, you know, I mean the

1655
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 3: old the old blood was pumping. You could feel the

1656
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 3: blood pressure raising, you know, as as was going on.

1657
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 3: There's nothing like that type of excitement. That's why people

1658
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 3: pay big dollars, top dollar to go to NFL games

1659
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 3: to be entertained like that. Boy.

1660
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 2: And back to that point of the on site kick

1661
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 2: if only six percent, if you're if you're if you

1662
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,639
Speaker 2: have a rule and you're doing something that is only

1663
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 2: successful six percent of the time, to me, that scream

1664
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 2: something has to change. It's got to be it's gotta

1665
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 2: be more productive than six percent of the I'm not

1666
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 2: saying crazy like fifty percent of on site kicker recovered,

1667
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 2: but something better than six Otherwise, what's the use?

1668
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 3: Why why would you even try it? You know, it's like,

1669
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 3: you know, kick the ball deep and let your defense

1670
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 3: hopefully you can they can rise up and get a

1671
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 3: three and out and get the ball back that way.

1672
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 3: So it's going to be interesting to monitor and I

1673
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 3: see how that all tracks down heading down the stretch.

1674

Speaker 2: other things. The trade deadline is tomorrow. Interesting situation because

1690
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 2: on one hand, you want to you certainly want to

1691
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 2: do what you can when you can to help your team,

1692
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 2: but you have to weigh what you're going to give up,

1693
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 2: what you're going to get where you are in the standings.

1694
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 2: It's just it's a line you have to walk as

1695
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 2: an organization. Heading in it tomorrow.

1696
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 3: Right in the Bengals, Mike Brown values draft picks like

1697
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,919
Speaker 3: Paul Paul always did, and Mike has the same mindset,

1698
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 3: the same mentality to the game of football. So they're

1699
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 3: not going to be irresponsible in terms of throwing draft

1700
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 3: picks around at the trade deadline. But it's going to

1701
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 3: be interesting, you know. Obviously, the biggest name that people

1702
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 3: are wondering about is Trey Hendrickson. You know, there's all

1703
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 3: kinds of social media. Trey Hendrickson wants to be traded,

1704
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 3: He's asked to be traded, He's gone, Trey Henderson, Where's

1705
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 3: he going to go? Oh? You know, they're talking about

1706
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts and what an acquisition that would be

1707
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 3: in reunite him with Lou and Rumo, the guy that

1708
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 3: you know was his coach when he had his big

1709
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,560
Speaker 3: sack years back. To back seventeen and a half seasons,

1710
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 3: but I just don't think. I'm not sure they do anything.

1711
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 3: I'm not sure Trey Henderson goes anywhere. I think he

1712
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 3: may at the end of the season when the season's over,

1713
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 3: but I think he finishes this year out as a Bengal.

1714
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 2: We've put two in the books. Hang with us, we

1734
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 3: symmetrical speeds. I wonder what that means.

1735
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 2: That's really good speedy. Yes, it's really good speedy and

1736
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 2: really fast and impressive. That's the extent of my explanation

Speaker 2: of it. Just get it and you'll be happy with

1738
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 2: Let's go there, you go. Let's let's go back to yesterday.

1739
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 2: Get more thoughts from the coach, Zach Taylor on what transpired.

1740
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 2: Here's Zach Taylor.

1741
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, just I can't I can't believe it. I can't

1742
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 6: believe it.

1743
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 5: Getings right there, and then we just we don't find

1744
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 5: a way to get it done and win again. We

1745
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 5: just got to make one play, just one play, and

1746
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 5: some of these losses turned to the wins, and so

1747
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 5: again we just gotta coaches with just the this week,

1748
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 5: finding a way, finding a way to help everybody and

1749
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 5: get it done.

1750
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 6: Because this is it's sick. It's sick to lose like that.

1751
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 6: It's sick. That's what happened.

1752
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 5: So we got to own it, and we got to

1753
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 5: keep finding ways to improve and and keep finding ways

1754
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 5: to find a win.

1755
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 6: The last two weeks it hasn't happened. Surprise, rustrated and whatever.

1756
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 5: Well, we we got to find a way to get

1757
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 5: them fixed. We are I mean, we're like crazy, what

1758
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 5: We're trying to do everything we can to get it done.

1759
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 5: And and so again that's so it's not because of

1760
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 5: a lack of work, lack of effort, lack of trying

1761
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 5: to cover every single stone to get it done. But

1762
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,600
Speaker 5: but it's it is tough. This has just been the

1763
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 5: result that we're dealing with.

1764
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:36,839
Speaker 6: Is there anything missing?

1765
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 5: We just got to find a way to make a play,

1766
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 5: get off field. I mean, it's it's no turnovers today,

1767
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 5: you know. And this is a team that's you know,

1768
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,679
Speaker 5: they're going to finish plus two in the turno battle today,

1769
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 5: Chicago is and that's where all the wins have come from.

1770
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 5: And so you lose the game by five points. They're

1771
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 5: plus two in the turnovers, they've been plus three, but

1772
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 5: they've been plus four, they've been plus three a lot

1773
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 5: of their wins and so kind of more of the

1774
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 5: same for that.

1775
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 6: Exactly's a tough plus three today. I guess what they were.

1776
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 19: Probably tough game to play at a nine yard line

1777
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 19: there were you're thinking about possibly trying to force them

1778
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 19: into the final time out.

1779
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 5: We ran the ball, I mean that's what we did

1780
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 5: on the first player ran the ball. So you get

1781
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 5: cute and you forced them to do that, and then

1782
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 5: you have no points and then the game's over. So

1783
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 5: we should trust our guys to get out there and

1784
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 5: make a play. And and uh, that's that's just the

1785
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 5: way it goes.

1786
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 14: Is it as simple as bringing Colston down after he

1787
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 14: makes that catch? There just someone tackling.

1788
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, get him on the ground, force him into a

1789
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 5: tough field goal, you know, at that point once the

1790
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 5: play has been completed, make him execute man again. We

1791
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 5: just didn't get him on the ground, score a touchdown.

1792
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 5: I mean in the Houston game a couple of years ago,

1793
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 5: were very similar. We were right there a couple of

1794
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 5: years ago. So it's just it's that's a tough one

1795
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,759
Speaker 5: the stomach, but it's the result is the result.

1796
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 6: And and so again I feel sick right now.

1797
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 5: But all we can do is pick ourselves up and

1798
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 5: keep fighting and That's the beauty of being in this

1799
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 5: profession and being this locker room is is we see

1800
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 5: what we're made of.

1801
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 6: We're going to keep fighting.

1802
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:09,759
Speaker 5: We we know it was gonna be pretty loud noise

1803
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 5: out there, criticism, It's deserved when when we're the record

1804
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 5: we are and the results we've had. We're gonna keep

1805
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 5: showing our character and keep fighting and find a way

1806
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,640
Speaker 5: to lead these guys and find a way to to

1807
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 5: make some plays and get some wins and and keep

1808
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 5: this season alive.

1809
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:27,840
Speaker 6: That's what we're gonna do. Be fixed.

1810
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 5: We're going to find a way. We're going to do

1811
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 5: everything we can to find a way. I think it's

1812
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 5: impossible for me to say yes or no. We've been

1813
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 5: trying everything we can, so we'll just keep working at it.

1814
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 17: Four thirty eight points last week, forty two yeah this week.

1815
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,760
Speaker 3: Most would say in the NFL, that's more than enough

1816
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 3: points to win a game.

1817
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:49,799
Speaker 17: How do you manage the locker room and not having

1818
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 17: the offensive players feel any sort of reasons?

1819
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 6: We fight like hell every single day to maintain the culture.

1820
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 3: We have.

1821
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 5: Fight every single day. Talk to everybody I can possibly

1822
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 5: talk to. We're fighting, and these guys if you've watched

1823
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,719
Speaker 5: them practice, they're they're like hell, working working like crazy

1824
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 5: in practice.

1825
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 6: And so again, we just.

1826
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 5: Got to get someone in, got to get a play,

1827
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 5: someone builds off that play, and and we we find

1828
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 5: a way to get some momentum defense and and just

1829
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 5: haven't found a way to do that lately.

1830
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 3: Coming into the season.

1831
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 16: There's a lot of talk on defense potentially be better

1832
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 16: through nine games.

1833
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 6: Why do you think that hasn't been serio, you just

1834
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 6: got to find a way. You know, we're we're we're

1835
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:25,680
Speaker 6: working hard at it.

1836
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 5: And and I know that's a that's a hard thing

1837
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 5: to listen to me say over and over.

1838
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 6: That's the answer there.

1839
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 5: There's not a magic formula that we're just gonna we

1840
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 5: do it if we if we could, and so we're

1841
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 5: just gonna keep finding ways. We got the bye week,

1842
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 5: we've got to keep working through it. See if there's

1843
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 5: something we're missing, See if there's something we can we

1844
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 5: can enhance, We'll work at it.

1845
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 16: Joe Flacco plays through the injury, has the performance he does,

1846
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,520
Speaker 16: and you know that to go to waste essentially, how.

1847
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of great performances day. What Joe

1848
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 5: Flacco did for us this week. You'll never forget, you know,

1849
01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 5: and and I mean just knowing what our quarterback room

1850
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 5: is working through right now, what Joe Burrow is doing too,

1851
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 5: and Joe Flacco and with Jake's all the things he's done,

1852
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 5: it's a really mentally tough room that leads by example.

1853
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 6: Joe Flacco got the opportunity to show that this week.

1854
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 6: That's him.

1855
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow working like crazy behind the scenes to do

1856
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 5: everything he can to help our team.

1857
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 6: Flacco, I mean he couldn't.

1858
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 5: He could barely lift his arm this week, you know,

1859
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 5: and he's blown to go put himself out there for

1860
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 5: a bunch of teammates that he's been with for three weeks.

1861
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 6: You know.

1862
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 5: He's a football player, That's what he's out of here

1863
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 5: and said, he said, I play football for a living.

1864
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 6: That's what I do.

1865
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 5: And and oftentimes you need that throughout the locker room.

1866
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 5: Guys they are just football players and they remember that

1867
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 5: and they'll go out there and do whatever it takes

1868
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 5: to help their team win a game, no matter what

1869
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 5: normack of the circumstances.

1870
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 6: Got a bye week next week, get a chance to

1871
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 6: get rested up.

1872
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 5: That's how Joe Flacco looks at it, and so he

1873
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 5: went out there and put himself on the line. I'm

1874
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 5: sure he's gonna be in a ton of pain tomorrow,

1875
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 5: and we'll give him ten days off and we'll see

1876
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 5: if you can come back and do it again.

1877
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: A terrific game, But what happened on that intentional then

1878
01:25:58,520 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: down kind of look.

1879
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 6: Like we're missing. Yeah, we were checking to play and

1880
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:05,520
Speaker 6: did everybody get it?

1881
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 4: The field goal was after after that the decision was.

1882
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 5: Out of It's a tough decision. It's a tough decision.

1883
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 5: You know, you're it's tough. You know whether that was

1884
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 5: the right thing to do or not. I'll have to

1885
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 5: reflect on that. It's a split second decision because now

1886
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 5: now you know you're in your head, you're thinking fourth

1887
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:26,280
Speaker 5: and three or less potentially, and so then you've got

1888
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 5: to shift very fast to the decision to kick the

1889
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 5: field goal and okay, now you're down four and hope

1890
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 5: to get another possession to stop and go in the game.

1891
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 5: So it was tricky that that was decision we made

1892
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 5: obviously didn't work out, and and I'll have to digest

1893
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 5: if if I made the right one there. I'm going

1894
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 5: to keep fighting. The coach you're going to keep fighting.

1895
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 5: I know these players have shown that they're going to

1896
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 5: keep fighting. It's frustrating for everybody to put in the

1897
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 5: work that's being put in, and this is the result

1898
01:26:52,160 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 5: we've had. It's it's frustrating. And and uh, you know,

1899
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 5: sometimes you got to take a deep breath and then

1900
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 5: then come back to work and try to uplift others.

1901
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 5: That that's I faced a lot of diversity here. Uh,

1902
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 5: and and the only thing I know how to do

1903
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 5: is keep trying to lift people up. That doesn't mean

1904
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 5: we run from corrections, that doesn't mean we don't give criticism.

1905
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 5: But at the same time, the easy thing to do

1906
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 5: is question everything and point fingers and and and uh

1907
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 5: be negative and and be an energy vampire in a

1908
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 5: lot of ways. And I think we got enough guys

1909
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 5: that just want to continue to lift people up and

1910
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 5: fin answers, find solutions, help where they can make myself better,

1911
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 5: make the person next to me better. And that's that's

1912
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 5: all I know how to do. That's how we built

1913
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:35,600
Speaker 5: the coaching staff that does that too. We built a

1914
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 5: locker room full of leaders and great men that are

1915
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 5: that are following suit there. And that's what I've seen

1916
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 5: from them, and that's just what we're going to continue

1917
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 5: to do. And I don't have something I can say

1918
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 5: that's going to say we we we're just going to

1919
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 5: fix this and things are going to be better.

1920
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 6: It's not that simple.

1921
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 5: I wish it was, but I can promise you we're

1922
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 5: gonna find, like kel to to keep keep finding when's

1923
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 5: here and get the season turned around.

1924
01:27:57,720 --> 01:27:59,759
Speaker 14: Like the tackling issues, especially when.

1925
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 6: We work quite crazy at it.

1926
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's always seemed to talk about and

1927
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,560
Speaker 5: work on, and we have to improve.

1928
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 17: After loss, like especially these last two.

1929
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 5: Do you now going into the buy are you looking

1930
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 5: at all personnel for trades, for switches in house?

1931
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 6: I keep working with the players we got. That's that's

1932
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 6: what we're gonna do.

1933
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 5: We're gonna keep finding solutions with the guys we have,

1934
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 5: and if something else comes at us, so be it.

1935
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 6: But that's.

1936
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 5: I'm gonna work with the players we got in here,

1937
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 5: and we're gonna keep finding solutions to what's going on

1938
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:29,599
Speaker 5: right now.

1939
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 6: Be tough here at home.

1940
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 14: Really, going back to the start of last year, does

1941
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 14: that add just a little more frustration to this whole thing?

1942
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 4: Big picture, just how tough. It's been to win here.

1943
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's frustrating.

1944
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 5: I mean, you use our fans, they show up for us,

1945
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 5: and you got to give them something.

1946
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 6: You got to give them something.

1947
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor after the game yesterday and now as they

1948
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 2: hit the bye week, we've talked about the precarious situation

1949
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 2: and they're in and if you're a he this is

1950
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 2: a challenge for Zach because you've got eight games left.

1951
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 2: It's it's one thing if you're down on the stretching,

1952
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 2: you got a game just to finish out the season.

1953
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 2: There's eight games left. This is not certainly a throw

1954
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,440
Speaker 2: in the towel point of the season. This is salvage

1955
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:15,480
Speaker 2: this thing season and this is a very delicate situation

1956
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 2: they're in right now.

1957
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 3: It is it is. It's an important eight games for

1958
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 3: the football future. Zach Taylor, y you know, I mean

1959
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 3: and his coaching staff. I mean, I think now Zach

1960
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 3: will find out what players think about him as a

1961
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 3: head football coach, because now they're backs up against the wall,

1962
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,879
Speaker 3: and how they're gonna respond. They're gonna come out swinging.

1963
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 3: Are they just gonna say, you know it's over, We're done.

1964
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 3: Whatever happens happens. Let the organization do what they need

1965
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 3: to do. Maybe we need a change. Who knows, Maybe

1966
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 3: that's the best thing that could possibly happen. But I

1967
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 3: do know that Joe Burrow thinks the world is Zach Taylor.

1968
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 3: And Joe Burrow carries a lot of weight. And Mike

1969
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,960
Speaker 3: Brown has always liked offensive minded coaches like a Bill Walsh,

1970
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 3: So he has a lot of respect for the football

1971
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 3: intellect and IQ of Zach Taylor as well. And Zach's

1972
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 3: a hell of a football coach. I mean, the guy,

1973
01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 3: grinds man. He puts in the time. He is a grinder.

1974
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 3: He loves the game, understands the game. It's a football family.

1975
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 3: His brother Press was the pass game coordinator in yesterday's

1976
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 3: football game. You know they grew up playing football against

1977
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 3: each other, being very competitive. I mean, it's it's it's

1978
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 3: a way of life for the Taylor family. There's no question.

1979
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 2: Let's take a time out and continue. We'll get more

1980
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 2: from Joe Flacco on yesterday's game and what is ahead

1981
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: for this team through his eyes, He's Dave Lapham. I'm alliance,

1986
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,479
Speaker 2: let's get more to Joe Flaho's performance yesterday, and Dave

1987
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 2: amazing to think it was his one hundred and ninety

1988
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 2: ninth career start yesterday, and it was the first time

1989
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,800
Speaker 2: he'd thrown for four hundred yards in a game. What

1990
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 2: a What a What an afternoon? What a performance? When

1991
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 2: you throw for force, you'd never thrown for four hundred

1992
01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:21,839
Speaker 2: he throws for four seventy yesterday. And as we said earlier,

1993
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 2: all things considered, it's kind of hard to believe he

1994
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 2: did what he did.

1995
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 3: It really is. I Mean, all I can say is

1996
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 3: they got to keep Joe Flacco after this year. I

1997
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 3: know he's signed a one year deal, yes, but when

1998
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 3: Joel Barrow is healthy and back as the Bengals starting quarterback,

1999
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 3: and that's what's gonna happen. You know, Joe Flacco will

2000
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:45,519
Speaker 3: you know, bow out and Joe Borrow will assume the

2001
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 3: duties and enrolled of the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals,

2002
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,080
Speaker 3: But Joe Flacco, who's got a better number two than

2003
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 3: that in the National Football League. I mean, that's a

2004
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 3: heck of a one two punch. That's a heck of

2005
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,639
Speaker 3: a of a of a dual at the quarterback position

2006
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. And one of them's got

2007
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 3: eighteen years experience and is over forty years old, and

2008
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:12,000
Speaker 3: the other one is a guy that is an MVP candidate,

2009
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:14,719
Speaker 3: in my mind, the best in the National Football League.

2010
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:18,839
Speaker 3: So to have those two guys putting their heads together

2011
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 3: on a weekly basis and making contributions to game planning,

2012
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 3: I'm sure Zach Tayler would be very open to. Hey, Zach,

2013
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 3: I really like that concept. I'm not too keen on

2014
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 3: that one, but that one's really good. I don't think

2015
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,759
Speaker 3: there'd be a problem with that. I don't think Zach's

2016
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 3: that you go, you know, artistical. I think he's I

2017
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 3: think he's you know, down to earth in that regard.

2018
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 3: And Dan Pitcher as well. So I think there's a

2019
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 3: lot of good years ahead at the quarterback position with

2020
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 3: the two Joes.

2021
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 2: Here is more from Joe on his day and the

2022
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 2: afternoon as a whole.

2023
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 19: Joe Flacco from our perspective, understanding that it's emotional after

2024
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,800
Speaker 19: a loss like that, But it looks like some of

2025
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:01,599
Speaker 19: the offensive players are gaining some tension towards the deepens.

2026
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:02,760
Speaker 4: I know you talked about it a little bit like that.

2027
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 6: But what do you do as a veteran?

2028
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 7: Well, I just be the same person every day, uh,

2029
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 7: and don't get frustrated from that. And I go to

2030
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:14,680
Speaker 7: those guys just like you do. And you don't necessarily

2031
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 7: have to talk about that specifically, but you just have

2032
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 7: good conversations with guys about, you know, doing good things

2033
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 7: and going to work and.

2034
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 4: Taking pride in what you do. And I think when

2035
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 4: you do.

2036
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 7: Those things then you're not just then then you don't

2037
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,679
Speaker 7: have time to get mad at people that you can't

2038
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 7: You shouldn't be getting.

2039
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:33,679
Speaker 4: Mad at you know, we got enough to worry about.

2040
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:35,720
Speaker 7: Every one of us have enough to worry about on

2041
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 7: our own plates that you can't be worrying about everybody else,

2042
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 7: because then all of a sudden, once again, it's going

2043
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 7: to be a tough eight weeks for us if we're

2044
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 7: worrying about what other people are doing. I know, team

2045
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 7: is one, it's one team. In order to have that

2046
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 7: one team, you need to.

2047
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 4: Focus on yourself and do your job. And I get

2048
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:00,839
Speaker 4: I get it.

2049
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 7: It can get emotional, but you know there's times to

2050
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 7: be emotional.

2051
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 4: And and and show people that and.

2052
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 7: But usually when those times are good in good things

2053
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 7: and towards people you love. And I think if we're emotional,

2054
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 7: then we should come at it with an angle of

2055
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 7: this is my brother, as opposed to the opposite of that.

2056
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 7: I just think that's what good, hard working, tough people do.

2057
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 4: They don't look at other people.

2058
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 7: They look inward, and it doesn't matter what the situation is,

2059
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 7: they look inward.

2060
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 16: What was the connection with t so successful today?

2061
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:41,320
Speaker 4: He's really good.

2062
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 7: I hate to be so simple and have such a

2063
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 7: bad answer, but I mean, did you see the catch

2064
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:48,599
Speaker 7: you make? Let that go route for the first touchdown?

2065
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 7: I think it was the first touchdown was incredible. I

2066
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 7: mean I was laughing. It was just stupid. It was

2067
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 7: it was crazy, and I think everybody kind of realized it.

2068
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,640
Speaker 7: It was just I mean, I kind of I had

2069
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 7: one on one with them. I don't really know if

2070
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 7: I should have thrown it up or just come down,

2071
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:06,759
Speaker 7: but I'm like, it's.

2072
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 4: One on one. I'll put one up there. And as

2073
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 4: I let it go. I was kind of I honestly.

2074
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 7: Was kind of like, ah, I don't know, and next thing,

2075
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 7: you know, was a touchdown.

2076
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 6: So were the last twenty four hours like we're getting.

2077
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,400
Speaker 18: Prema get ready way.

2078
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:25,640
Speaker 4: I think Thursday was like Thursday was the thing. Like,

2079
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 4: you know, once I went out there.

2080
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:32,640
Speaker 7: And practiced on Thursday, I knew that I would be

2081
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 7: ready to play on Sunday. So then it was just

2082
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 7: kind of managing my shoulder throughout the week.

2083
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:39,720
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm lucky.

2084
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 7: I've played a lot of games, so I didn't feel

2085
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 7: like I had to go out there and get a

2086
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,679
Speaker 7: ton of practice reps. And I probably would have felt

2087
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 7: like that anyway, but thankfully the coaching staff also felt

2088
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:50,680
Speaker 7: comfortable with me not you know, not getting a ton

2089
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 7: of practice reps. I think that's the biggest thing is

2090
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 7: it's going to be tough to practice, and as long

2091
01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 7: as I know that I can get through Sundays, then

2092
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 7: I feel good about it.

2093
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,760
Speaker 16: We'll get to talk to you again before y'all going by,

2094
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 16: what do you how, given how you can out sand

2095
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:07,679
Speaker 16: and those pro social early.

2096
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 6: What do you kind of need to be able to

2097
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:10,759
Speaker 6: do and need to feel about.

2098
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 3: Playing when you get back from the buy.

2099
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, well listen, I finished the game last week, I

2100
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 7: played this week. I mean, it's not even in my

2101
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 7: mind that I I you know, I wouldn't be able

2102
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 7: to do something like that. So now it's just about

2103
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 7: getting rest and getting as healthy as possible. And obviously

2104
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 7: this week is you know, we got two weeks before

2105
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 7: we play again, so that's that's hopefully that helps.

2106
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, locked in, how important and how proud.

2107
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 2: Of are are you of those wide receivers and Chase

2108
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 2: Brown and those guys that caught that ball for you?

2109
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:43,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2110
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 7: And extremely I mean I make sure I go to

2111
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 7: everybody in that locker room after after a game and

2112
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 7: just tell them how much I appreciate them.

2113
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 4: You know, my job is not possible.

2114
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:57,760
Speaker 7: You know, Quarterbacks get so much publicity and credit for

2115
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 7: so many things, but you're really just out there dishing

2116
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,719
Speaker 7: the ball around, and without the guys up front, first

2117
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 7: of all, you know, you can't do that. And without

2118
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 7: guys out there making spectacular plays and taking little catches

2119
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 7: and for touchdowns and all those things.

2120
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 4: You know they are.

2121
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 7: I mean that's why, like people always ask me, like,

2122
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,479
Speaker 7: who'd you like when you were growing up? I mean,

2123
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 7: I always liked receivers and running backs because those are

2124
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:23,479
Speaker 7: the guys that are out there like making the plays.

2125
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 7: And now that I've gotten to play, now you have

2126
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 7: a true, just a true appreciation for the guys up front.

2127
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 7: Like that's really where the game is won and lost.

2128
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 4: Is right there up front.

2129
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,719
Speaker 7: So I just view myself as somebody that's lucky enough

2130
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,439
Speaker 7: to kind of be the guy that gets to play

2131
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,519
Speaker 7: with some of these guys. And so yeah, every time

2132
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:44,600
Speaker 7: I get to play with these guys, I know what

2133
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 7: everybody's giving weekend and week out and laying it all

2134
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 7: out there, so you appreciate being with every single one

2135
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 7: of them.

2136
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 2: Dave one of the one quote I love from Joe Flacco,

2137
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 2: and he was asked about a stage in the season

2138
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 2: where maybe some friction starts or some cracks with the

2139
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 2: offense and defense and one team doing their job and

2140
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:04,920
Speaker 2: the other maybe not doing it as well, and Joe

2141
01:38:04,960 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 2: Flacco said, you have to have good conversations with guys

2142
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:10,679
Speaker 2: about going to work and taking pride in what you do.

2143
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 2: I think when you do those things, you don't have

2144
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 2: time to get mad at people that you shouldn't be

2145
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 2: getting mad at. Every one of US has enough to

2146
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 2: worry about on our own plates that you can't be

2147
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:24,719
Speaker 2: worrying about everybody else. Team is one, it's one team.

2148
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 2: In order to have that one team, you need to

2149
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 2: focus on yourself and do your job. I just think

2150
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:34,680
Speaker 2: that's what's good, hard working and tough people do. That

2151
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 2: is a very powerful statement from a very wise individual.

2152
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 3: If I'm Joe Flacco's parents, I'm listening to that and

2153
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:45,519
Speaker 3: I'm going, yep, I raise my kid, right. I mean,

2154
01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:49,200
Speaker 3: he understands, he understands what it takes. Not just football.

2155
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 3: I wish, you know, more people had that mindset, that

2156
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 3: attitude about their job and their work on a day

2157
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 3: to day basis. You know, yep, I mean the United

2158
01:38:57,080 --> 01:38:59,200
Speaker 3: States of America may even be more productive. It's a

2159
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 3: world power, but it might even be more productive. Joe

2160
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:07,240
Speaker 3: is very very intelligent in conversations with him, not just

2161
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:10,160
Speaker 3: from a football standpoint, but across the board. I mean,

2162
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 3: pick a subject, Joe Burrow has an opinion and and

2163
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 3: and can do some commentary on it.

2164
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 9: So I.

2165
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,719
Speaker 3: I really I think he's been a big, big addition,

2166
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 3: not just the way he plays the game with that

2167
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 3: powerful throwing arm, but the way he handles himself the

2168
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 3: way he comports himself on the football field, in the

2169
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 3: locker room, out in the community. Uh, he's a He's

2170
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:37,919
Speaker 3: definitely a big, big plus in the Bengals organization.

2171
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 2: Needed to take the time out when we come back,

2172
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 2: David I thought, well, we've got some time here in

2173
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 2: the final half hour. It would be only fitting if

2174
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:48,160
Speaker 2: we talked about sadly the passing of our our dear

2175
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,520
Speaker 2: friend Bob Trump and from a couple of different standpoints,

2176

01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:26,560
Speaker 3: to eight pm on ESPN fifteen thirty.

2187
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:30,640
Speaker 2: Dave the sad news yesterday, and it broke as the

2188
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 2: afternoon was beginning to unfold for Bengals football. Was the

2189
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 2: passing of Bengals legend, a broadcasting legend. I always called

2190
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 2: him the godfather of sports talk, Bob trump He sadly

2191
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 2: passing away at the age of eighty years old, friend

2192
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 2: of both of ours, teammate of yours, and meant the

2193
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 2: world to I think both of us. And I thought

2194
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 2: we could break up a couple of segments and talk

2195
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 2: about Trumpet the player in one segment, and Trumpet the

2196
01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 2: broadcaster and the other. And just man in watching the

2197
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 2: highlights of him the football player, every time, I was

2198
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 2: struck by the same thing. Just his body is a

2199
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 2: tight end, and the wide shoulders and that gallop after

2200
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 2: catching the ball. I can't imagine what he was like

2201
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 2: for for a great cooker Ken Anderson to throw the

2202
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:21,880
Speaker 2: football too, and the way he changed that offense with

2203
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 2: what he could do as a tight end.

2204
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was a generational player, he really was.

2205
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:31,879
Speaker 3: He changed the game of football for the tight end position.

2206
01:41:32,200 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 3: I mean he is. I mean there have been great

2207
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 3: tight ends, you know John Mackie's and tight ends like

2208
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 3: that that have have definitely said changed the world in

2209
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 3: terms of how do you defend these guys They're so

2210
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 3: big and they're so fast and so athletical. Bob Trump,

2211
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 3: he was right there, right there with the greatest of

2212
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 3: all time. I think Bob Trump, he deserves to be,

2213
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 3: you know, honored in that in that same breath as

2214
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 3: a lot of those guys coat hanger shoulders. You talked

2215
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 3: about the broad shoulders. I mean, I'm not kidding. I

2216
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 3: looked at that dude and I'm like, Holy macro, look

2217
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 3: at how wide that dude's shoulders are. Man, And the

2218
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:08,880
Speaker 3: Good Lord blessed him. The Good Lord reached down and

2219
01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 3: you know, tapped him on the head and said, this

2220
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 3: is this is the way you're going to be built,

2221
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 3: you know. And he was trim wasted, you know, and

2222
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 3: and long legs, and he could run I'd say sub

2223
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 3: four five four or five worst case scenario low four

2224
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:26,320
Speaker 3: fives and and many they'd isolate him with that size

2225
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 3: speed ratio. He had one of the greatest size speed

2226
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 3: ratios I think I've ever seen. And as long as

2227
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,639
Speaker 3: I played football, he was in the top three, if

2228
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 3: not the best, in terms of size speed ratio. Long legs,

2229
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 3: long arms, you know, soft hand, caught the football very

2230
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 3: very effortlessly, and very intelligent. You know, ran tremendous routes.

2231
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 3: He'd read coverages, Bill Walsh a lot. He wanted a

2232
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,880
Speaker 3: quarterback and and tight end and receivers to be on

2233
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:55,559
Speaker 3: the same page as the quarterback on pre snap looks

2234
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 3: of coverages. And Bob Trump he was as good as

2235
01:42:58,120 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 3: there was in that area. And that trans related to

2236
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 3: his career as a broadcaster. There's nothing that Bob Trump

2237
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 3: he didn't see, you know. I mean, he was very

2238
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 3: astute and understood the game of football as well as

2239
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:09,559
Speaker 3: anybody ever.

2240
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:12,439
Speaker 2: Did well in speaking of seeing things, we marvel about

2241
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:15,759
Speaker 2: Paul Brown's eye for talent. We talked about Lamar Parrish

2242
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,599
Speaker 2: last week, taking him out of a small school. But

2243
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 2: Bob started that Illinois, wound up at Utah, was a

2244
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 2: twelfth round pick out of Utah. But when Paul and

2245
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 2: Bill Walsh and Tiger Johnson got a hold of him,

2246
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 2: and what I mean, he in nineteen sixty nine, I

2247
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 2: don't know if people fully comprehend and appreciate this. In

2248
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:37,559
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine, Bob Trumpy averaged twenty two point six

2249
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 2: yards a catch. That's twenty two point six yards of

2250
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,839
Speaker 2: catches a tight end. For his career, he averaged fifteen

2251
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 2: point four yards of catch. That's incredible.

2252
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 3: It is it is. I mean that's better than wide

2253
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 3: receivers of his era in terms of stretching the football field.

2254
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 3: And Paul Brown very wise, man, you know. I mean

2255
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 3: he saw Bob Trumpy when they went to scout him,

2256
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 3: and Mike was involved with that decision making process as well.

2257
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:06,719
Speaker 3: They went out to Utah. He was a good play

2258
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 3: He was a star player on the basketball team at

2259
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:13,000
Speaker 3: Utah and one of the leading rebounders. Could score, I mean,

2260
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 3: played Bengal basketball, you know where you go around in

2261
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 3: the office storming games. Yeah, and go play faculty, you know,

2262
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 3: members of schools for fundraisers and everything. And Trump could play. Man.

2263
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:25,679
Speaker 3: He was physical, He played hard. He was a really

2264
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 3: good basketball player, and it translated to his game on

2265
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 3: the football field as a tight end. I mean, he

2266
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 3: was he was a prototype. He teams were looking for

2267
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 3: the next Bob Trumpy and that was the way it

2268
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 3: was for a number of years.

2269
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,679
Speaker 2: And I thought Kenny Anderson put it perfectly this morning.

2270
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 2: He tweeted, simply, Bob Trumpy was Gronk before Gronk, and

2271
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 2: I thought that was wow. That is very well said,

2272
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 2: putting into context what his skills were. For people today

2273
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 2: who think of Rob Gronkowski, that was Bob Trumpy.

2274
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 3: Agreed, agreed, And you know, everybody looks at Gronk and like,

2275
01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 3: you know, he's a little Dodo bird A. Gronk has

2276
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 3: got tremendous football IQ. Tom Brady will talk about it,

2277
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 3: how smart Gronk is and the adjustments to Gronk would

2278
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:12,680
Speaker 3: suggest to Bill Belichick and to Tom Brady. Trumpy was

2279
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 3: the same way Trump. He had come off the field

2280
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 3: and say to Kenny Anderson and you know, and Paul

2281
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 3: Brown and Bill Walsh's look, they're doing this. I think

2282
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 3: if we put me in motion and change the strength

2283
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:25,559
Speaker 3: of the formation, You're not gonna adapt quickly enough. I'm

2284
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,479
Speaker 3: gonna get off the line of scrimmage, of free release.

2285
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:31,639
Speaker 3: I'm gonna hurt people down the football field. And they agree,

2286
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 3: we'd do it. And Trump knew what he was talking about. Man,

2287
01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 3: there'd always be a big play.

2288
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 2: Let's take a time out of come back. Let's talk

2289
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:42,840
Speaker 2: about Bob Trumpy, the broadcaster from NBC to Sports Talk

2290
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 2: at all that came with it. Holy cow man. I

2291
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:47,840
Speaker 2: don't know if we have enough time to cover everything

2292
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 2: he did. From a broadcasting side, boyd we'll get into

2293
01:45:50,920 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 2: it next. He's Dave Lappam my alliance, Bacalister. It's Bengals

2303
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 2: We continue remembering Bob Trump, he who sadly passed away yesterday,

2304
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 2: and from a broadcasting standpoint, I always called him, with

2305
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,599
Speaker 2: great reverence, the godfather of sports talk because he he

2306
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 2: created it. I'll never forget a conversation I had with

2307
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 2: him where he had heard Bill Russell doing sports talk

2308
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 2: radio in LA in Boston and thought, man, would it

2309
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 2: work here could I do it here? And from that

2310
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:55,720
Speaker 2: grew the sports talk and just his his presence on

2311
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 2: the radio and that voice there was just there was

2312
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 2: no one like him, there's been There was no one

2313
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 2: like him before, There's been no one like him since.

2314
01:47:04,479 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 2: He just had a command. When you tuned into him,

2315
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 2: it just felt and sounded big, like he had control

2316
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:15,719
Speaker 2: of everything. And as I always say, as a kid

2317
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,080
Speaker 2: in an era where there were no podcast or anything,

2318
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:20,640
Speaker 2: if you wanted the gospel of sports talk, what was

2319
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 2: going on in Cincinnati, you turned on your radio at

2320
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 2: six o'clock and you just waited for Bob Trumpy to

2321
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 2: say something. And you knew if you wanted to know

2322
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 2: how to feel about something or what the reaction was

2323
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 2: to something, you turned and said, what does Bob have

2324
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 2: to say? And Bob made sure that you knew he

2325
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 2: was right, I mean all the time about whatever.

2326
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 3: He was true.

2327
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 2: But that was part of the charm of Bob Trumpy.

2328
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 2: You had your opinion and you were wrong. He had

2329
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 2: hit his opinion and he was right. But it was

2330
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 2: just when he said it, there was just something to it,

2331
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 2: magical and powerful to it.

2332
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 3: That's a great way to put it. Last, I mean

2333
01:47:54,479 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 3: you know, you were around Trump for a lot of years.

2334
01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 3: You know him as well as anyone. I when I

2335
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 3: heard him talk when I got drafted and came into

2336
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:07,720
Speaker 3: the the locker room for basically mini camp is what

2337
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:10,759
Speaker 3: it was back in the day in the in the

2338
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 3: mid seventies. I heard this voice and I tried, that's

2339
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:17,040
Speaker 3: the voice of God. What what is going on? Am

2340
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 3: I in football Heaven? What is the voice of God

2341
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:24,720
Speaker 3: doing here in the city of Cincinnati? And uh? And

2342
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 3: it was Bob Trumpy And this guy, like you said, Lance,

2343
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 3: for years and years the he covered the big events,

2344
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 3: the Olympics, super Bowls, you know, Trump, he had all

2345
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 3: that on his resume. I mean for a guy.

2346
01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, yeah, three Olympics, crazy, three Ryder Cups.

2347
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, come on, now we're talking horse racing. Trump.

2348
01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:50,719
Speaker 3: He but he could make anything exciting with that voice,

2349
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 3: you know, and he and he'd raised it, he'd uh.

2350
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 3: He had tremendous cadence and voice inflection, you know, and

2351
01:48:57,520 --> 01:48:59,960
Speaker 3: he knew how to naturally, knew how to handle all

2352
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:03,719
Speaker 3: of that. He was something special. There's no question. I mean,

2353
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 3: the broadcast world lost a legend. And I'm serious. He

2354
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:13,759
Speaker 3: should be there should be an award given to NFL

2355
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 3: broadcasters on NBC, CBS, Fox, whatever, the Bob Trump Award,

2356
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:21,040
Speaker 3: you know, for the best analyst played by play guys

2357
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 3: aren't eligible, sorry, but for the best analyst of the year,

2358
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 3: and it would be an annual thing, the Bob Trump Award. Now,

2359
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:34,200
Speaker 3: I'll I'll go to the grave trying to get that done.

2360
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 2: He man, when when you tuned into NBC and it

2361
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 2: was the NFL with him, or whether it was Don Krickey

2362
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 2: or Dick Enberg or Charlie Jones, just just the way

2363
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:49,080
Speaker 2: in and he had you know, clearly he had his

2364
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 2: thoughts on former players versus media, and what meat he

2365
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:54,760
Speaker 2: knew versus what a former player. He put so much

2366
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:58,480
Speaker 2: effort into his analysis. It wasn't he had strong opinions,

2367
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 2: but it was always backed by something he worked on

2368
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 2: the preparation for the broadcast. That's what I had such

2369
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 2: an appreciation for. It was strong and it was powerful,

2370
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:12,519
Speaker 2: but it was backed by his experience and what he

2371
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:14,120
Speaker 2: put into a broadcast.

2372
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:16,400
Speaker 3: Right on Lance. And I talked to many assistant coaches

2373
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 3: over the years that said, man, Trump wore me out.

2374
01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 3: All he would do. I need another tape, need another game.

2375
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 3: I think I feel pretty good about it. But you know,

2376
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 3: I just I just want to confirm a couple of things.

2377
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure I'm right on a

2378
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 3: couple of things that you guys do for masonally and

2379
01:50:30,160 --> 01:50:34,439
Speaker 3: why you do it, and and the production meetings. Coaches

2380
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 3: loved going to production meetings with you know, Krickie or

2381
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 3: Edinburgh and Bob Trumpy because they knew that he was prepared,

2382
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:43,840
Speaker 3: they knew he had done that, they knew he'd done

2383
01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 3: his homework before showing up. And instead of like, hey,

2384
01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 3: give me something I can use in the game, you know,

2385
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 3: do my job for me. Trumpy was never about that.

2386
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,000
Speaker 3: It was like, hey, I'm a big boy, I'm getting

2387
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 3: paid handsomely. I can do this for myself.

2388
01:50:57,720 --> 01:51:01,519
Speaker 2: And he said an example he especially here and with

2389
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:05,479
Speaker 2: this franchise. He I would think the the pioneer aspect

2390
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 2: of former player into broadcasting in doors and opportunities opened that.

2391
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. You and Chris Collinsworth and Salmon,

2392
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 2: Willcotts and Boomeri Siasen and Sam Weish to David Pollock,

2393
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 2: to others, Tequio Spikes, Andre Andrew Hawkins, so many former

2394
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 2: Bengals came through playing into broadcasting.

2395
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very true. And you know it was like, hey, man,

2396
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:29,680
Speaker 3: if Trump can do it. He was a trailblazer. He

2397
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 3: was the Daniel Boone. You know, he was the guy

2398
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,880
Speaker 3: that paved the way for everybody else to get an opportunity.

2399
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 3: And uh, and you wanted to do well because you

2400
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:41,280
Speaker 3: knew Trumpy had done extraordinarily. Well, I'll tell you what

2401
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,439
Speaker 3: he made. He left his mark, There's no question about that.

2402
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:47,160
Speaker 3: And it was a it was a very very positive

2403
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:50,559
Speaker 3: mark on the game of football as a player and

2404
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,439
Speaker 3: as a as a broadcaster. And he was more than

2405
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:57,720
Speaker 3: solid at both. I mean Hall of Fame. Uh, borderline

2406
01:51:57,960 --> 01:51:58,719
Speaker 3: efforts in both.

2407
01:51:58,760 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what when when he came to

2408
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 2: sports talk and it's I've talked about it all the time.

2409
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:05,680
Speaker 2: I grew up listening to him. I call him once

2410
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:07,600
Speaker 2: a week. I'd arguing with him as a as a

2411
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 2: young kid. He'd hang up on me. We got a

2412
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,760
Speaker 2: new an argument up Buddy Bell and Wayne Crenchickey one time,

2413
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:15,760
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking him arguing Wayne Crenchikey and Buddy Bell

2414
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 2: with Bob Trumpia. I called him from a vague family vacation.

2415
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:20,679
Speaker 2: One time I was like fourteen years old. I called

2416
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 2: from Cape Cod. Oh, They'll never forget him saying, why

2417
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: are you calling from Cape Cod? I want to talk

2418
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 2: about the Reds. But and when when I had a

2419
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 2: chance to to then work with him and do the

2420
01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 2: Friday Bengals pep rally and we did a roundtable show

2421
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 2: walk here on Thursday nights with him. But I used

2422
01:52:36,120 --> 01:52:39,600
Speaker 2: to always marvel. He would boy, we butted heads and

2423
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:42,040
Speaker 2: clash it and I'd say something and he'd look at

2424
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:44,960
Speaker 2: me and peer at me over those glasses and he'd say,

2425
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:49,160
Speaker 2: you've clearly never played the game before. I would just

2426
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 2: know how to get going. And I always had a way.

2427
01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:54,640
Speaker 2: I'd learned certain things that would push his buttons. And

2428
01:52:54,680 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 2: I'd say, like on a daylight today, where I'd want

2429
01:52:57,080 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 2: a statement made by the organization, they need to do something.

2430
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:01,479
Speaker 2: They need to make statement. And he looked at me

2431
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 2: and say statement, and he do that big booming laugh.

2432
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:08,120
Speaker 2: You and your statements, You just always want to make statements.

2433
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:11,200
Speaker 2: I was like, that was such Bob Trump. I used

2434
01:53:11,240 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 2: to drive him nuts with that. He drive me nuts

2435
01:53:13,320 --> 01:53:13,800
Speaker 2: with things.

2436
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you he was he was great with

2437
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 3: if he was on the losing end or realized he was,

2438
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 3: it was going downhill for him. From an argument standpoint.

2439
01:53:23,680 --> 01:53:26,479
Speaker 3: You never played the game, That's what That was his

2440
01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 3: catch all. You know, that was the that was the

2441
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:33,800
Speaker 3: saving the savingology right there. Have you played the game?

2442
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:36,200
Speaker 3: You never played the game. And he got that from

2443
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:38,639
Speaker 3: Paul Brown. He heard Paul Brown say that many times

2444
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:42,440
Speaker 3: to people in the media. You think you know everything

2445
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:46,599
Speaker 3: about football, son, you've never played the game.

2446
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:50,439
Speaker 2: And the beauty and the and the power of Trump.

2447
01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 2: Only Bob Trumpy could one call up Bob Knight and say, yeah,

2448
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:56,439
Speaker 2: let's come on you, hey, come on Sports Talk. I

2449
01:53:56,479 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 2: spend an hour with Bob Knight on Sports Talk and

2450
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 2: side they were gonna blow out all the commercials. Play

2451
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:04,840
Speaker 2: none of the commercials because I'm going to keep the

2452
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,920
Speaker 2: General for the entire hour. Only Bob Trump he would

2453
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:10,200
Speaker 2: have the power to say, I'm talking with the General

2454
01:54:10,240 --> 01:54:13,000
Speaker 2: for an hour and just I'm sure Doug Kidd or

2455
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,360
Speaker 2: whoever was like, you know, break take time out, and

2456
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:19,280
Speaker 2: just kept talking, kept talking, kept talking. No commercials figured

2457
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 2: out later, I've got the general lie and then.

2458
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 3: The guys would have to figure it out later. The

2459
01:54:23,240 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 3: sales managers and to make good commercials, you know. And man,

2460
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:28,519
Speaker 3: what kind of damage would Trump do this week?

2461
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:28,760
Speaker 18: You know?

2462
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,360
Speaker 2: Or remember he would he would make the hot fudge

2463
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 2: Sunday bets with callers and then pay it off at

2464
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 2: the UDF down below and Mount Adams across the street. Absolutely,

2465
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 2: I will never forget the year in the NCAA tournament,

2466
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:45,120
Speaker 2: he swore up and down that Houston would never lose

2467
01:54:45,160 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 2: to North Carolina State. He said, North Carolina State shouldn't

2468
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:49,520
Speaker 2: even get on the bus and go to the game

2469
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:52,080
Speaker 2: because Houston's gonna beat him in North Carolina State wins.

2470
01:54:52,080 --> 01:54:54,520
Speaker 2: And he had to pay off so many bets for that,

2471
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 2: and it was just he was one of a kind.

2472
01:54:57,640 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 2: He was absolutely one of a kind.

2473
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 3: Broke them all, There's no question about it. And my

2474
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 3: heart goes out to Pat the sons because and Jason,

2475
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 3: they lost, They lost a husband, father, great man, I'm

2476
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 3: telling you, and and literally literally Lance, I feel like

2477
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 3: this guy, tremendous player, tremendous broadcasters, should be in the

2478
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame.

2479
01:55:22,240 --> 01:55:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And a final thought, just from my standpoint,

2480
01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:29,120
Speaker 2: and he is. He's remembered as somebody who could be

2481
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 2: gruff and rough, and they had that booming voice. But

2482
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 2: to me and the defining moment of the relationship I

2483
01:55:37,640 --> 01:55:39,480
Speaker 2: had with Bob Trump, he had nothing to do with

2484
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 2: a show. When when my son Casey was diagnosed with leukemia,

2485
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 2: Bob Trumpy was the very first phone call I got.

2486
01:55:47,280 --> 01:55:50,960
Speaker 2: That's amazing and said whatever you need, whenever you needed

2487
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 2: and said I will be a bone marrow donor if

2488
01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:57,320
Speaker 2: you need one, and I will. I will never forget

2489
01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:59,160
Speaker 2: that moment in my life and what it meant to

2490
01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:02,800
Speaker 2: our face and that to me, For all the tales

2491
01:56:02,840 --> 01:56:05,040
Speaker 2: I can tell of Bob Trumpy, that is the one

2492
01:56:05,040 --> 01:56:07,440
Speaker 2: that means the most of it, and that's him.

2493
01:56:07,480 --> 01:56:07,920
Speaker 9: Do a tea.

2494
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 3: When I think, when I think of Bob Trumpy on

2495
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:15,400
Speaker 3: his obituary, it should say football and family. Yep, that's

2496
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:18,400
Speaker 3: what he was about. He was about football, playing the game,

2497
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 3: and about his football family, and then also about his

2498
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 3: football family, you know, off the football field, his true family,

2499
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 3: his wife, Pat, his sons and everything we already talked about.

2500
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 3: He was unique. One on one. They broke the mold man.

2501
01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. We'll take our final time out,

2502
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 2: come back, wrap things up. Bengals line on the Bengals

2511
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:08,440
Speaker 2: we said off the top, Imagine the difference had they

2512
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 2: had they won yesterday in dramatic fashion, two touchdowns in

2513
01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:15,080
Speaker 2: the final forty nine minutes, get the wind pulled a

2514

Speaker 2: relax on that joy and belief that you've created with

2516
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 2: the win. And now you gotta sit on yesterday's loss.

2517
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 2: You got the trade deadline coming up. There's uncertainty in

2518
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:30,360
Speaker 2: so many places right, Just such a change in emotions

2519
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 2: after yesterday.

2520
01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:34,200
Speaker 3: Man, you know, it's like you go into a into

2521
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:37,280
Speaker 3: a bye week and there's a cloud hanging over your

2522
01:57:37,280 --> 01:57:40,040
Speaker 3: head following you into that bye week. You know, it's

2523
01:57:40,120 --> 01:57:43,400
Speaker 3: like it could have been a sunny sunny time, could

2524
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 3: have been joined the beach. You know, go lay out

2525
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:49,560
Speaker 3: layout on the beach during the bye week literally but

2526
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:52,680
Speaker 3: not to be so. Now you've got to figure out

2527
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 3: a way to turn the worm. And it's going to

2528
01:57:55,240 --> 01:58:00,120
Speaker 3: turn quickly because, quite honestly, on a week by week basis,

2529
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 3: these games melt away. You're the sand runs out of

2530
01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:09,120
Speaker 3: the uh, out of the whatever. The class there, thank you, sir,

2531
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 3: the hour glass and and you're running out of time

2532
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:16,600
Speaker 3: and it's it's a you can't panic. You got to

2533
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 3: make sure you take care of business and you and

2534
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 3: you do it the right way, but you got to

2535
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 3: do it quickly.

2536
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 2: And it doesn't get any easier.

2537
01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 9: Man.

2538
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:25,320
Speaker 2: You got Steelers still. Hey, you got the Patriots, who

2539
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 2: are better than everybody, but you got the Ravens twice.

2540
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,440
Speaker 2: You got Buffalo, oh man.

2541
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:34,280
Speaker 3: And not just great players, but the coaches. I mean,

2542
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:36,839
Speaker 3: think of the coaches, the head coaches and the coaching

2543
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 3: staffs on those on those football teams. You know, you

2544
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 3: got Tom and you have Rabel, I mean, you get

2545
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 3: you got guys that are hard nosed, get after a

2546
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 3: type of football people. You know, they were players themselves

2547
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:52,720
Speaker 3: and uh and then when they were done playing, wanted

2548
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:55,280
Speaker 3: to commit their rest of their lives to to the

2549
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 3: coaching profession and their working lives. So I'll tell you

2550
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:01,080
Speaker 3: what not gonna be an easy task, But that's life

2551
01:59:01,080 --> 01:59:03,720
Speaker 3: from the National Football League. Man. If you're not ready

2552
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:06,240
Speaker 3: to accept the challenge, you shouldn't be here, you know.

2553
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 2: Final thought, As you were mentioning the sand and searching

2554
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:11,440
Speaker 2: for the word, I flashed, of all things to the

2555
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:14,120
Speaker 2: soap opera. What's the soap opera with the hour glass?

2556
01:59:14,160 --> 01:59:15,040
Speaker 2: Is the days of our lives?

2557
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:16,320
Speaker 3: World turns?

2558
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 2: What are those two look at me? Going to soap

2559
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 2: operas to come up with the words. I just remember

2560
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 2: the open of that soap opera was like like sand

2561
01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 2: through the hour the sand of our lives through the

2562
01:59:26,240 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 2: hour glass or whatever that line was from the soap opera.

2563
01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 2: And we're officially done.
