Speaker 3: for another big game, a must win game, Dave Lapham,

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: I tell you this is one I told you earlier

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: before we come on there. I like these kind of

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 3: games because you get to see who wants it and

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: who really wants it.

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, Box, I mean, I think I think

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: you know that's one thing that the coaching staff that

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: I've talked to Vegans head coach Zach Taylor, coordinator, offensive

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: coordinator Dan Pitcher, defensive coordinator Al Gold, and all the

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: other position coaches. The players are all in still. I

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 4: mean they they want it, they don't. They don't want

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: to be known as you know somebody that cast their

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: chips in you know, yeah and said, no, Moss, I'm

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: not interested. You know, let's just get this season over

28
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 4: with and want to get into the offseason as quickly

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 4: as possible and get this in the back of my mind,

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: you know, in the rearview mirror. None of that is

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 4: going on. I mean, they they want to win football games,

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: and with a three and five record, you know, they're

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: still in the hunt. I mean, they still got possibilities.

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: It's the league's not running away from them.

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: There's not.

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: Every single football team has lost at least one game,

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: you know, and you're only eight games into it, so

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: that you know it's competitive and there's probably not gonna

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: be a team that pulls away and has a dominant

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: season like dub Bears, the eighty five Chicago Bears. I

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: don't think there's gonna be a team like that. Yes year.

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: So if the Bengals can you know, hang in there.

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: Get everybody healthy. They need to get healthy, and you know,

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: win some football games and stay in the hunt. They

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: should be fine.

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean because Pittsburgh hasn't helped themselves. They lose

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: on Sunday night at home to the Packers. They're four

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: and three, the Bengals three and five. It's only two

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: games separating you right there, and you know Pittsburgh got

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: a tough game coming up this week. I want to

51
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: digress just for a second from football. We're going to

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: dive into all this and and kind of ask you

53
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: about the Ring of Honor. I mean, we I from

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: my vantage point, so I get to sit up in

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: the booth and I'm looking down and seeing everything happening,

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: and obviously like everybody to see that that unfurling that banner,

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 3: and there's that name. Man, it just for you when

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: it all became a reality in that moment, talk about.

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: That, man, it was surreal. You know, it was something

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 4: I never ever dreamed would happen. You know, back when

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 4: I was a little rug rat running around trying to

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: play the game of football and learn as much as

63
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: I could about football, and you know, just fell in

64
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: love with the game totally. Everything about football was made

65
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 4: sense to me. You know, the team concept of it

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: was big, twenty two moving parts, twenty two moving pieces

67
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 4: that you don't have to all be in concert, you know,

68
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: to achieve and have success. I was intrigued by that.

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: I like that a lot. I liked that concept. I

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: like that idea. Nobody's too big for the game. For

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: the team, everybody needs everybody. I mean, you might have

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: an unbelievable quarterback or phenomenal player, he still needs people

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 4: around him to show what he can do.

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: You know, he can't do it all by right.

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: He's got to have you know, ten other people on

76
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: his side of the football working in concert, getting getting

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: things done for him. So that's what I really liked

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: about the game of football early on, and you know,

79
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: wanted to be as good as I could possibly be

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 4: and had great coaches along the way, great teammates and

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: great coaches along the way to help me get there.

82
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: You Know what was most fitting for me was at

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: the event on Saturday and Kenny Anderson and Max Montoya

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: and Anthony Munio talked about the things that people don't

85
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: know about Dave Lapham and I'm gonna talk about Anthony specifically,

86
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: saying his first two years here, you were his north star.

87
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: You know, you guided him through that playbook and all

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: those kinds of things, and there's room for people to

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: be selfish. Number one pick comes in, gets all the

90
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: pubs heralded. No, no, you're coming over here to me.

91
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: I'm not helping you. But the selflessness and nature that

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: you have that we know now you were about team

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: and about getting better. And then Kenny Anderson talked about

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: just the liability and just knowing he could count on

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: you in Max. I mean, for me, that's what made

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: this even more special is that those guys stars in

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: their own right, were quick to say Dave Lappa was

98
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: an integral part of this team.

99
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,559
Speaker 4: And that was very much appreciated. I mean, those guys

100
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: went above me on the call of duty. I think,

101
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: you know, to be as complimentary as kind and kind

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: as they could be. But I have such a great

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: relationship with all of them. And that's the thing about sports.

104
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: You know, box you played sports, the bond that you

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 4: make yes with your teammates is so unique. I mean

106
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: it's like nothing else in life. You know, It's it's

107
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: almost impossible to break it. Those guys are gonna have

108
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: my back to the rest of my life. I'm going

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: to have their back the rest of their lives that

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 4: there's nothing they can do to change that. And I

111
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: feel the same way about them. And when you achieve

112
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: a high level of success together, the feeling of that,

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: the unity, the unifying force of all that is rare.

114
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 4: It's so special, so unique. So I mean, I just, uh,

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: everything about the game of football intrigued me, the physical,

116
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 4: the mental part of it. You know, it just became

117
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: the love of my life.

118
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I tell you what, when we were setting

119
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: up here, people were coming by. Everybody came by literally

120
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: knew what happened last week, and they were saying, right,

121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: he congratulates that, they happy for you. It's just one

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: after another after another, which to me spoke about why

123
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: we thought you deserved to be in there for football

124
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: for broadcasts, but because of how you are for the

125
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: team and and the other thing that I kind of

126
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 3: laughed about. I said, well, your grandkids could have got

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: a nice geography lesson because you had people coming in

128
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: from California, Maine and I think Vermont and other places.

129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're right, Box, I mean, it was uh,

130
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: you know, national geographic from my family coming in with

131
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 4: this football game, California, Arizona, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut,

132
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 4: Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or I mean friends and family from

133
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: from all over and it's it just it's humbling, you know,

134
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: when everybody's coming in because they want to be there

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: for you. And generations of family, you know, not just

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: my siblings, but their kids and their kids, grandkids, their grandkids. Yeah.

137
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: So uh, you know, it's it's such a you know,

138
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: a family affair something like that. And the best part

139
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: of it was when they did unveil the plaque out

140
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: there in the middle of you know, the middle of

141
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: the of the stadium or the sideline, the middle of

142
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: the sideline in the stadium up there and on the

143
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: higher portion of of the stadium. And man, I mean

144
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: when when sixty two and that that number show name

145
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: it showed up with that number, I was like, wow, man,

146
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: it really is Look pinch me, man, it's not a dream,

147
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: you know. I'm I'm awake. I'm awake, and I'm kicking.

148
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: That was a It was was totally humbling blowing experience.

149
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, you deserved every piece of it. Appreciate a

150
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: little bit of it man, I couldn't be happier. Dave Lapham,

153
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: great as well. We're gonna get into some football on

154
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: the field now we talked about football off the field.

155
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: We'll be talking to members of the Bears media when

179
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: how are you, brother?

180
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 5: Good?

181
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 6: How you guys doing good?

182
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: We're doing fantastic, man. This is obviously a big game

183
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: for both teams. Not a good outcome in Baltimore for you,

184
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: certainly not good for us here. What do you look

185
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: at as the number one focus for the Bears coming

186
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: into this game?

187
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

188
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 7: I think for the Bears, I think the message all

189
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 7: week has been cleaning up self inflicted mistakes pre snat

190
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 7: penalties that really plagued the Bears offense, which has, you know,

191
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 7: hindered them for putting up touchdowns. They've relied on stield

192
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 7: goals the past few weeks, and I know that's been

193
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 7: a real point of emphasis throughout this week of practice,

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 7: trying to get that cleaned up so that way they

195
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 7: can put touchdowns on the board. And defensively, it's the

196
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 7: same thing though, they've been trying to stop the pass.

197
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 7: The Bears have been down some corners. Jalen Johnson has

198
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 7: been out all year, Kyler Gordon just went an IR

199
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 7: so they're down some corners. Have just signed Chauncey Gardner

200
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 7: Johnson to come help alleviate some of that boyd that

201
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 7: was left by those guys. So defensively, they've been trying

202
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 7: to shore up that defense on the back end, and

203
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 7: they're gonna need it with what you guys have over there.

204
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's definitely some quality receivers over here on this

205
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: side of At this end of it, Joe Flacco can

206
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: can rally and get himself ready to go and play

207
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: in this football game, and I think he will start.

208
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: I think he will play, and I think he'll be

209
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 4: delivering the football pretty well. The injury factor, like we're

210
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: talking about with football teams, Both teams have been nicked

211
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: up and have have had their share of injury struggles

212
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: when healthy, How good are the Chicago Bears?

213
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think they can be really good. It's it's

214
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 7: you know, they have talent at the receiver positions. Obviously

215
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 7: Caleb the young quarterback with a lot of ability that's

216
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 7: still you know, growing and developing. You've got a guy

217
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 7: that's in his second year, his second system on another

218
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 7: head coach. So, uh, there's been growing pains, but there

219
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 7: also has been you know development as well. And when

220
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 7: you look at the defensive side of the running backs,

221
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'll stay there. At the running backs, you

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 7: have a young guy and kym an young guy who

223
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 7: had drafted in the seventh round out of Rutgers Deandres

224
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 7: that had some really good games. Uh, they got they're

225
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 7: good at the tight end position with with Cole Comet

226
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 7: Coast and Lovelin, and you know, we flip flipped the

227
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 7: script going to the defensive.

228
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 8: Side of the ball.

229
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 7: They've got a ton of guys on a defensive line

230
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 7: that can make plays. Obviously Montese sweating the focal point

231
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 7: of that group, but Javon Exter has played well. Dale

232
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 7: with Dingo is a guy they brought over in fregency

233
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 7: from the Indianapolis coach who they've been you know, relying on. Uh,

234
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 7: they've Also they also signed Grady Jarrett. So that linebacker position,

235
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 7: you've got good linebackers veterans and t. J. Everards and

236
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: Tremaine Edmonds, and like I said, in the back end

237
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 7: has been you know, we thought of it was going

238
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 7: to be a position of strength, but due to injuries,

239
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 7: it's been, you know, a position of weakness that they've

240
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 7: been trying to bolster. So the Bears can be as

241
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 7: good as they want to be, but they've got to

242
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 7: you know, correct some of the things I talked about

243
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 7: in terms of offensively self inflicting mistakes. Defensively, they got

244
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 7: to be you know, get to the quarterback and be

245
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 7: more adept at stopping the run and being able to

246
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 7: limit the amount of yard of giving up in the bass.

247
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 4: Right.

248
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting to excuse me, certain teams just

249
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: have an identity. They draft that identity. Uh, they're known

250
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: by that identity. And the Bears defense is one of

251
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: those examples. I mean, there are the takeaway machine right

252
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: now with a plus ten differential. Uh, what makes these

253
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: guys so good at ball hawking?

254
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

255
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 7: And coach Al Harrison, who runs that secondary, he talked

256
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 7: about this a few weeks ago in which you know,

257
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 7: taking away the football, he said, as a mindset. So

258
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 7: he said, if you don't have that mindset and mentality

259
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 7: every single day that you're out there on the practice field,

260
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: and you're not going to get those takeaways in the game.

261
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 7: And he says, his secondary teaches those guys that, hey,

262
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 7: when that ball is in the air, you're the receiver,

263
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 7: you're going to attack that ball like the quarterbacks throwing

264
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 7: it to you. So they had that type of mentality

265
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 7: and that ball hawking mindset, and that's what's led to

266
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 7: a lot of takeaways for this Bears defense.

267
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: The Bears defense, you know, looking at the Chicago Bears

268
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 4: defensively and as an organization, as a football team, historically,

269
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: things they've done well played, but kicking defense, you know,

270
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: they destroy you. Defensively, They basically take your soul away

271
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 4: from you. Offensively and say, okay, well maybe better luck

272
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: another day. It's not happening today. And then offensively, you know,

273
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: they want to run the football, they can throw it.

274
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 4: They got Caleb Williams, a very talented young quarterback, but

275
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: I think he would be the first to tell you

276
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 4: that once the running game is going, his play action

277
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: pass game and things of that nature are much easier

278
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: to execute. What is it about the Chicago Bears. They've

279
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: had a history for a long time, uh successful history

280
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: of playing great defense, shutting down the running game, making

281
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 4: it difficult to pass, and then shutting down your running

282
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: game on when you're on offense and making it difficult

283
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: for you to throw the football. Is that still their mindset?

284
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: You owe that a doubt.

285
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 7: It's It's been a formula that has worked with this

286
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 7: organization for years. Despite what type of personnel that you

287
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 7: have on your roster, that formula has been proven. I

288
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 7: was a part of that formula for seven years. And

289
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: you know with the Bears, they want they want to

290
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 7: get off the bus running obviously, they want to play

291
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 7: great defense and get takeaways, put the offense on short

292
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 7: fields and advantageous field position, and then play solid special team.

293
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 7: So it's something when you look at the Bears wins

294
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 7: this year, they did those things. They ran the ball well,

295
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 7: defense was sound, and you know we had not necessarily

296
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 7: you know, returning kicks back in the day like Devin

297
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 7: Hester did. But your special teams did not do anything

298
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 7: to make you lose a game. And when you have

299
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 7: that formula here in Chicago that usually generates wins.

300
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: You know. One of the things I've always felt for

301
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: and had some compassion for Caleb Williams because he's gone

302
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: through a series of coordinators, but it seemed like he's

303
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: finally kind of settling man. And then with Rome Adouze,

304
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: I hope I'm saying his name correctly, got thirty one

305
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: catches already this year, that they're they're maybe developing some chemistry.

306
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: Is it fair to say that now he's probably finally

307
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: getting comfortable?

308
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think with I think it's I think it's

309
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 7: a continual process. And he says that, you know, each

310
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 7: and every game he's still learning, you know, still learning

311
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 7: the offense. And I think that's something that's going to be,

312
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 7: you know, week to week. Like like I talked about earlier, Uh,

313
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 7: you know on radio, you're gonna see there's gonna be growth,

314
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 7: which you're going to see Caleb make some big plays,

315
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 7: make splash plays, look great at times, but the growing

316
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 7: pains are going to come with what we saw last week.

317
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 7: We saw a turnover at interception UH that led to

318
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 7: you know, in a critical situation that led to a

319
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 7: Ravens you know scoring uh, a scoring drive and those

320
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 7: are the thing that's going to happen with a young

321
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 7: quarterback that's in the second system with the new head coach.

322
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 7: So yeah, he's He's done a lot of great things.

323
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 7: You talked about the chemistry has with Roun, with Dunes

324
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 7: that you talked about, the weapons he has at his disposal.

325
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 7: But there's gonna be a lot of growing pains with

326
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 7: Caleb just because he is a young, talented quarterback. And

327
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 7: we see a lot of quarterbacks in this league who

328
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 7: who actually mature and develop at different times. We see

329
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 7: Sam Dar finally starting to get it. We see Baker

330
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 7: Mayfield on another team finally starting to play the way

331
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 7: that they envision and playing. So these quarterbacks, their careers

332
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 7: will take off at different times, and these quarterbacks pick

333
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 7: up the game at different times, and they see the

334
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 7: game differently at different times in their career.

335
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: So the Chicago Bears have been around the National Football

336
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 4: League for a long time, There's no question about it.

337
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: They're a historic organization and their DNA is physicality and

338
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 4: they have a mental toughness as well. And when you

339
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 4: go to Chicago to play the Chicago Bears, you better

340
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 4: bring it because they are and they're gonna it's gonna

341
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: be a long day for you if you're not playing

342
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: at a high level of intensity. And the same thing

343
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: when they're on the road, and really they're not traveling

344
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: very far coming down to Cincinnati, And I'm wondering how

345
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 4: many fans from Chicago be traveling down with the Chicago

346
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: Bears trying to come to Cincinnati to go to this

347
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 4: football game. I wonder what kind of tickets are, what

348
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 4: kind of prices they're they're charging for those tickets. But

349
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: I hope the Bengals fans show up in full throw

350
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 4: because the Bengals are gonna need it. They're gonna need

351
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: it at home. They're gonna need that support from the

352
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 4: fan base. They're gonna need that uh uh, those vocal cords,

353
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: you know, to be to be challenged and stressed a

354
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: little bit, because, man, I'm telling you this Bears football team.

355
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: You know, the record doesn't show it right now, but

356
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 4: this team can run it. Their offensive line gets after it.

357
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 4: Their offensive line can come off the football and knock

358
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 4: you back. They can double team and rub to the

359
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: next level. They're athletically that at gifted, you know, to

360
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: do that kind of thing. Defensively, they're aggressive and they

361
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: get after you. Uh, they're physical and mentally physically and

362
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: mentally tough as well. I'm telling you, playing the Chicago Bears, Uh,

363
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 4: you might win the football game, but you might might

364
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: lose the physical battle. And so doing, you're gonna be

365
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 4: in the in the training room the next the next

366
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: day or the next week with a lot of icebags,

367
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: you know, and and uh and and taking care of

368
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: some bumps and bruises.

369
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 6: It's not the way.

370
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: Is that what the Bears were?

371
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, the way you just described it, you know, you

372
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 7: gave me flashbacks in which I almost ran in and try

373
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 7: to try to find a helmet, you know, to get

374
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 7: out there and get a mouth piece, and you described

375
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 7: it so well. It's but that's exactly I mean, that's

376
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 7: exactly what you know. This organization is built upon it. Right,

377
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 7: you look at the Monsters of the Midway, and it's

378
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 7: not just a name. It's not cliche when you look

379
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 7: at the players that have warned you know, the Bears uniform,

380
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 7: they've been that type of player, right. And and the

381
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 7: Bears draft players based upon traits, They draft players based

382
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 7: upon personality, and they draft players in which they feel

383
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 7: like you could perform. Well, you know in this type

384
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 7: of climate that they're going to be in half of

385
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 7: the year and they got to have that physical trait

386
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 7: and that's just pretty much being a bear. And you

387
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 7: describe it to a tee.

388
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: Well, you know, last question before we let you go

389
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: in the man, thank you you again, man for making

390
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: time for it. Is Kevin byern Man. I remember when

391
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: he was at Tennessee and you know, he moved from

392
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 3: there and I think went on the Philadelphia Knights there.

393
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: But man, he's having a really really pro Bowl type year.

394
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is.

395
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 7: He's just been a guy who's just finds the football,

396
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 7: or it seems like football finds him.

397
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 5: He's like a magnet.

398
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 7: Stuck in because I mean every time you look up,

399
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 7: he's either getting his hands on a football or he's

400
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 7: intercepting the football, and those are really good things. You know.

401
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 7: He just has a knack for being able to disguise coverages.

402
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 7: He has an understanding through his film study and in

403
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 7: terms of what type of route concepts that offense is

404
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 7: trying to present to the defense, and through that study,

405
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 7: he puts himself a position to get those takeaways. So

406
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 7: he's he's been you know one of the captains on

407
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 7: this team, but not only just a captain. He's actually

408
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 7: going out there and playing, uh, you know, like one

409
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 7: of the elite leaders on this team, especially when they

410
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 7: need him. When you're when you're down a Jalen Johnson,

411
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 7: when you're down a College Gordon, you need a guy

412
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 7: like Kevin Byr to step up and get these takeaways.

413
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 7: So that's what he's been doing and it's been pretty good.

414
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: It's been awesome to see hey, brother, Thank you so

444
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: and it was full of successes and awards for your

445
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: team individually. You probably had a probably dreams as a

446
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 4: youngster about playing in the National Football League, and your

447
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 4: dream couldn't have come sure any better, could it?

448
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

449
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 9: You know, Dave, I grew up a Chicago Bears sad

450
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 9: my whole life being from Joey at Illinois and before

451
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 9: they had all the channels and the satellites where you

452
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 9: could go and gravitate or watch any seam that you

453
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 9: like the players from.

454
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 8: You had to grow.

455
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 9: Up born in nineteen sixty one. You had to grow

456
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 9: up in say a Bears fan. So I've been a

457
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 9: Bears fan my whole life, and now it's a little

458
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 9: different because I'm an alumni, a season ticket holder. I'm

459
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 9: an a Bears fan and the broadcaster. So it seems

460
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 9: like every time you ask me a question, you got

461
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 9: to tell me what guy are you asking that question to?

462
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 8: And I'll give you that answer.

463
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: You know, Tom, one of the things I wanted to

464
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: ask you about is, you know, the Bears probably would

465
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 3: like to be better than they are on third down conversion,

466
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: but that defense is really holding their end. I mean

467
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: probably under thirty percent or so. I'm looking at that.

468
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: What do you think they need to do to get

469
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: better on third down? As far as the Bears offense concern,

470
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: you know.

471
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 9: I still think it's a process of Caleb Williams learning

472
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 9: the Ben Johnson's system so perfectly. He knows where all

473
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 9: the openings and opportunities are going to be when he

474
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 9: looks across the line, of scrimmage and see what defense

475
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 9: they're offering him. And then if he does have to

476
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 9: go to the alternate flight the huddle, exactly what that

477
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 9: meant to the other ten guys in the huddle.

478
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 8: And I'm not I think I'm more realistic.

479
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 9: About the difficulty of a quarterback mastering the terminology. And

480
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 9: I think the longer that Caleb is fortunate to be

481
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 9: in the system, the better he gets. And we may

482
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 9: not see the best of Caleb Williams until next year. However,

483
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 9: he is making those incremental improvements. But when you look

484
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 9: at a specific down in distance and you know third down,

485
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 9: or even look at the red zone, that's where the

486
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 9: Bears are having the most difficulty. And last week the

487
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 9: two field goals came back to haunt them. And you know,

488
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 9: like you said, the third down is needs to definitely

489
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 9: get better.

490
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: You mentioned red zone, third down, couple of areas of

491
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 4: concern and very important obviously to have success, you have

492
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 4: to you have to be able to execute well in

493
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 4: those those two areas for sure. Where else? What is

494
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 4: where is theiggest problem in your mind? Why are the

495
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears kind of middle of the road? I guess

496
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 4: as such in terms of how it's gone so far

497
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 4: this season. Is there any one area or are there

498
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: multiple areas where they're need draft improvement.

499
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 8: Well, there's two areas to me.

500
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 9: Number one is the fact that they're not getting sacks

501
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 9: and getting pressure on the quarterback that results and you know,

502
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 9: just the pressure that a good defensive line can put

503
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 9: on a quarterback and change the whole process and the

504
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 9: thinking process of his game. And you know, they have Montesewen,

505
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 9: and they brought in Grady Jarrett, and they have dio

506
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 9: O Dangbo, and they have Gervon Deck. So they drafted high.

507
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 9: So they do have guys that should be able to

508
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 9: win battles. And that was one of the challenges that

509
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 9: Ben Johnson put to the defensive line this week is

510
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 9: that if you have a one on one, you better

511
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 9: do something with it. And so I think that's a

512
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 9: sense of urgency. And then number two, maybe two A

513
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 9: is the fact that they tried to develop and bring

514
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 9: along an offensive line that was bought through free agency

515
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 9: but still glaring uncertainty at.

516
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 8: The offensive tackle position.

517
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 9: And I think when you're trying to put in a

518
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 9: new system, you need that same offensive line to be intact.

519
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 9: You need to have them listen to the cadence of

520
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 9: the quarterback a thousand times or fifteen hundred times so

521
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 9: they can be you know, be able to anticipate the

522
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 9: rhythm of account which they haven't been able to do yet.

523
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 9: And they're having some fall start penalties or just some

524
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 9: issues on the offensive line that keeps them from you know,

525
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 9: just rely. I mean, they're not capitalizing on good field position.

526
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 9: And what I mean by that is last week in

527
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 9: the red zone, it was a third and one and

528
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 9: rather than understanding the rhythm of the cadence, the tight

529
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 9: end jumped off sides, put them in a third and

530
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 9: six and then that which led to ultimately having you

531
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 9: set up for the field goal. So offensive line and

532
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 9: defensive line are one in one. A.

533
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 3: You know, when you talk about the kicking game and

534
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: neither team has had anybody take it to the house,

535
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: do you feel like their special teams is on the

536
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: verge or cusp of a big play.

537
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 8: You know, that's a great quing.

538
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 9: You know, I spent every single game in my professional

539
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 9: career on kickoff return and I was frustrated when they

540
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 9: were just kicking into the end zone and taking them

541
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 9: out from that point so I was excited to see

542
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 9: what this new kickoff kickoff return was going to offer

543
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 9: the NFL. And I've been a little disappointed about the

544
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 9: you know, big yard returns or even touchdowns for that matter. So,

545
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 9: you know, coach Hogh Tower still waiting to see. They

546
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 9: had their longest return last week by Devin Duburne, which

547
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 9: was a fifty yard return. But I think the Bears

548
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 9: are really waiting on a punter that they drafted last

549
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 9: year out of University of by While in the fourth round,

550
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 9: who you know, has the reputation of being a big

551
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 9: banger in the Midwest outdoor football, perfect for the Chicago Bears.

552
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 9: And even though he had a great punt last week

553
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 9: that was brought back because of a penalty, they're still

554
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 9: waiting for him to be the Ray guy Er whatever,

555
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 9: the greatest punter in the NFL history. They're still waiting

556
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 9: for Tory Taylor to become that big footed punter.

557
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 4: You know, you know football, you know good football. You

558
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 4: know football players. You know good football players, guys to

559
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 4: execute and play at the highest level. To your eye,

560
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 4: as a broadcaster who's watched the Chicago Bears for many years,

561
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: this year's version of the Bears. Who are the better players.

562
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 8: You know, TJ.

563
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 9: Edwards has been a heck of a player. Kevin Byern

564
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 9: at the safety position has been a really good player.

565
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 9: It's Jaquanton Brisker at the safety. If he can stay

566
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 9: healthy he missed almost the whole year last year with

567
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 9: a concussion, he can be he can be a good player.

568
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 9: You know, Joe Tooney who they brought here as a

569
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 9: free agent. Fundamentally, he's still playing some of the best offensive.

570
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 8: Guard that there is in the league.

571
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 9: After all this time, we're still waiting for guys like

572
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 9: Cole Comett and Darnell Wright to be those players that

573
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 9: they were drafted to be. Cole Comett has showed signs

574
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 9: that he has the ability to be one of the

575
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 9: top tight ends in the league. But you know, just

576
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 9: because of the installation of this new offense, he hasn't

577
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 9: been getting targeted like he has in the past. And

578
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 9: then Darnell Wright with the eleventh pick in the draft

579
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 9: a couple of years ago, at the offensive tackle position

580
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 9: out of Tennessee. We're waiting for him to turn into

581
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 9: that physical, dominant presence at right tackle that when you

582
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 9: need that third and one or you got to go

583
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 9: for it on fourth and one or you need a

584
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 9: bread and butter play. He's got a be that guy.

585
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 9: I think they still have, excuse me, a high upside,

586
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 9: but we're waiting for them to get there. In the

587
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 9: ultimate prize is Caleb Williams.

588
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 8: If he.

589
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 9: Really grows inside this Ben Johnson offense.

590
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 8: And you know day, which is kind of crazy.

591
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 9: You know that a couple of weeks ago, after the

592
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 9: game is over, Jeff Joniak and I get to interview

593
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 9: him first, and I asked him because he often talks

594
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 9: about pressing the repeat button at halftime or the reset

595
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 9: button at halftime, and I said, well, if you press

596
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 9: the reset button, how often do you press the repeat button.

597
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 8: During a game? He says he never calls the same

598
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 8: play twice. And to me, when.

599
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 9: You're talking about mastering terminology, every single play changes. You

600
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 9: don't repeat one that back in our day, probably forty

601
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 9: of our game plan you could.

602
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 8: It's installed week.

603
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 9: To week and you just something you go accustomed to.

604
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 8: And so I think that does.

605
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 9: Present the more difficult learning curve or Caleb, than if

606
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 9: you had an offense that was consistent week to week.

607
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: Hey, Tom, I tell you, man, that's great information and

608
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: we appreciate you so much. Look forward to seeing you

609
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: this weekend at Cincinnati, and and thank you for making

610
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 3: some time for us today.

611
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 9: You know Dave Lampton, he's still the king of all

612
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 9: radio broadcasters nearly forty years.

613
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 8: We only strive to be in the booth that long.

614
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got that right. And I'm so far away

615
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: I'm probably California to Maine in terms of distance. Appreciates,

616
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: appreciate you guys.

617
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 4: Save travels. Tom.

618
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: All right, man, we'll take a break. We'll be back

619
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: with more of the Bengals. Pep Rallley Soho presented by

620
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: just Bear Chicken on the Bengals Radio Network was pep

Speaker 5: Whoever?

641
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: Does it make the week any more challenging when there

642
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: is a little bit of mystery surrounding who will be

643
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: throwing past the Sunday?

644
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 12: No, we still got to attack it the same way

645
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 12: and just do us at the end of the day,

646
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 12: we can't really worry about that situation.

647
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 10: Does it change the way that you prepared throughout the

648
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 10: course of the week? Now, how did Flaka look today?

649
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 5: Regularly?

650
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 12: Look pretty same? Didn't look I didn't even know it

651
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 12: was injured for her?

652
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 13: What was it like when you saw him coming back

653
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 13: out of the tunnel on Sunday. Do you think that

654
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 13: they're being shy to come back, but just like come

655
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 13: back at that moment?

656
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 12: Uh, If I'm being honest, I didn't. I didn't even

657
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 12: see Flacker runs on the field. I just was in

658
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 12: a huddle and I heard of play being caught and

659
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 12: I looked up.

660
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 11: It was Flacco, So I didn't. I didn't know what

661
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 11: was going on.

662
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 13: So I talked yesterday about, you know, about how much

663
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 13: Flaka wants to play, given that he's only been here

664
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 13: for a little bit. What's it like to see guy's

665
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 13: been here for like a month and really wants to

666
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 13: play through an injury like that.

667
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 11: Mean still wants it?

668
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 12: You know what I'm man, He loves this game, obviously,

669
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 12: you could tell the way he plays and just the

670
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 12: performance he gives off, the energy he gives off. But

671
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 12: he's still attackses the same way practice throughout the week.

672
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 10: You said you wouldn't find it practice, You didn't. You

673
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 10: didn't see anything different about the way the ball was

674
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 10: coming out or anything like that.

675
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 14: How does it feel to be here at home in

676
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 14: your own bed for such a long stretch after playing

677
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 14: so many road games over the course.

678
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 11: Of the first several weeks the season.

679
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 15: Now you've been at home the last couple of weeks,

680
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 15: then you get to bye week.

681
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 6: How does that feel.

682
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 12: It's good that we get a chance to play in

683
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 12: front the crowd, front the home stap, the home field

684
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 12: give us a better advantage just with the crowd and

685
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 12: just getting points on the board.

686
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 11: After a different after the difficult loss on Sunday.

687
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 15: Actually, you're a captain now this year, it's a lot

688
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 15: of young guys who.

689
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 11: I'm sure were not thrilled with the way the game went.

690
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 11: How do you now?

691
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: You know?

692
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 10: And a captain drill sort of calmed them down get

693
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 10: ready for the next week.

694
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 12: I wouldn't really say I calming them down anything. Uh,

695
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 12: defense did their own thing with the meeting, how they

696
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 12: you know, their stuff going on the offense does too,

697
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 12: So we really can I'm really just controlling them the

698
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 12: things that I can control and the stuff that I

699
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 12: can just give advice to the younger guys and just

700
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 12: push them to be better and just getting the prep

701
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 12: going for the week after a game like that.

702
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 14: Tomorrow you obviously we're upset.

703
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 11: You're professional or competitives.

704
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 10: What of the last couple of days as you trying

705
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 10: to process.

706
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 14: Just move on.

707
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 8: Uh.

708
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 12: After the game, I was that that was my last

709
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 12: day thinking about the game. If I'm being honest, Once

710
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 12: the next day happened, I got a transposition with all

711
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 12: my focus going into the next game.

712
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 11: How high we said for you to.

713
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 5: Talk to.

714
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 12: It wasn't hard for me to talk to y'all. It's

715
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 12: just hard for me to give y'all a full answer.

716
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 12: That's the hard part for me. Why is that because

717
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 12: I don't want to talk?

718
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 11: Yeah, it does.

719
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 15: Do you think if you happen you figure what it's talk?

720
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm pretty sure probably.

721
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 6: The full answer.

722
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 11: Now, maybe it depends, I said.

723
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: Al Golden said that with the players meeting, the defensive

724
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: players meeting that he doesn't know what was discussed or

725
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: should he.

726
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 16: Do you take the same approach or were you asking

727
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 16: those guys what they were talking about?

728
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 12: I would take the same approach. I mean, I talked

729
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 12: to Gino Stone about it a little bit. Me and

730
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 12: him had all our words about it, but I told

731
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 12: him at the end of the day, like they can

732
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 12: only control the things they control and don't over don't

733
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 12: over don't overdo it with each other. At the end

734
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 12: of the day, I still gotta have each other's backs

735
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 12: and be a union. But that's all I can say

736
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 12: to him.

737
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 11: Do you think something like that can make a difference

738
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 11: a meeting like that?

739
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 8: Yeah?

740
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 11: I can't. Yeah, what do.

741
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 13: You feel like the offense probably need to do better

742
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 13: at the end of games in order to make sure the.

743
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 11: Uh probably closing out the game better.

744
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 5: I don't know.

745
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 11: It's hard to say.

746
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 12: We wasn't in those positions like we were a lot

747
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 12: this year, so I mean, we learned from the opportunity.

748
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 12: Maybe we could have slowed the possesion down when we

749
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 12: scored too fast.

750
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 13: Who knows, what what's your report like with Sack after

751
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 13: a game like that?

752
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 10: What's the rapport, what's the what's the dialogue.

753
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 13: Like with Zack after a game like that? Do you

754
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 13: guys sit down and go over things? And how is

755
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 13: that kind of evolve Over.

756
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 12: The years, everything still feels the same, pretty much normal.

757
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 12: I mean, we still talk about the players that we're

758
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 12: putting in or will put in, and you know, we

759
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 12: go from that, but we don't really talk about stuff

760
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 12: like that.

761
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 11: I would assume that's a Joe Burrow thing.

762
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 13: I know, you want to win every game and you

763
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 13: have to win every game and or all of those things.

764
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 10: That's your mindset, your mindset each and every week.

765
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 13: Does it feel like your backs are against the wall

766
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 13: a bit after what happened Sunday going.

767
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 12: I wouldn't say that, No, you know, I just feel

768
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 12: like I would say we fell off a cliff of

769
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 12: what we wanted to be at. What I'm saying, we

770
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 12: got to climb back up.

771
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 8: Is that possible?

772
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: Yes?

773
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 10: What's it gonna tell me?

774
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: Now?

775
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 10: At three and five? Knowing where y'all want to go?

776
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 10: What's gonna take to make sure that y'all don't let

777
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 10: that slip you further?

778
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 11: You gotta close out the game a lot better.

779
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 12: Defense, gotta adjust today the stuff that they talk about offense,

780
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 12: Gotta close out the game better and just start fast

781
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 12: in the game.

782
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 11: You know, it sounds like a lot, but it's something

783
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 11: that we can do.

784
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 16: Thanks, Thanks, Thanks you.

785
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 11: That was pretty dope.

786
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: Does Jamar Chase? I thought somebody was coming with another question. Yo,

787
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 3: this is a guy you don't have to worry about Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Tuesday, Friday.

788
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: He's bringing it.

789
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 4: He is Jamar Chase is a competitor, and he referenced

790
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 4: that and Uh, it's a good thing. I mean it's

791
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase wants to win football games. He wants to

792
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: be at his best at all times. He wants to

793
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 4: be a big reason why the football team is winning

794
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: football games. He is a football player. I mean that

795
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 4: is the definition of the Jamar Chase. That's who he is,

796
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 4: That's who he wants to be, and that's what he

797
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 4: wants to be known for. He is somebody that went

798
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 4: out and gave it his all for his team, for

799
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 4: his teammates, for the city of Cincinnati, for whatever the

800
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: organization that he went out and emptied the bucket every

801
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: single game, every single day, every single practice. Jamar Chase

802
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: was doing everything he possibly could do to help his team,

803
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: his organization win football games.

804
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 3: No question out. We'll take a break and get back

805
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 3: back and wrap up this first hour. You're listening to

806
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 3: the Bengals pep Rally so broadcasting live on the Ride

807
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: and one hundred. He scored straight on the Bengals Radio

808
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 3: Network presented by Just Barticken. Welcome back to the Bengals

809
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 3: pep Rally SOHO broadcasting live. I'm on the Rude ethery

810
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: one hundred. He's scored streets US Bear, Chicken, Wayne box Millow,

811
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: Dave lab I'm at now is time for the Catherine

812
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 3: the health injury.

813
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 4: Report lap, Yeah, Box. I think the Chicago Bears, as

814
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 4: far as they're concerned, I don't think they have any

815
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 4: debilitating injuries where a player is going to miss the

816
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 4: game because of injury that took place during the course

817
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 4: of the football game. I think they're probably still tired

818
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 4: beating up all that. And whenever you play an NFL game,

819
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 4: no matter who the opponent is, uh, you're going to

820
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 4: have those kind of those kind of feelings when the

821
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: football game is over because you put so much into

822
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: it mentally, physically, you exhausted yourself. You emptied the empty

823
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: the bucket, as they say, yeah, And I think the

824
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: Chicago Bears did that. So they're recovering. They're in recovery mode.

825
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 4: The Bengals, I think, came out of it pretty darn

826
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 4: well too. I don't think that there's any injuries that

827
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: is gonna are gonna cost the Cincinnati Bengals. Oh, he

828
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 4: can't go, he can't start because he got nicked up,

829
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 4: he got dinged in the football game, and it's gonna

830
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 4: cost him some time. There may be a guy or

831
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 4: two that missed a practice, But I don't think anything

832
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: more significant than that. So I think both of these

833
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 4: football teams are ready to roll. I think that it's

834
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 4: an important game for both teams. Both teams want to

835
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 4: turn the war mess. I still want to get their

836
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 4: seasons turned around. And the big question is who's gonna

837
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 4: get it done, No question about it.

838
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: We just got a recent update. DeAndre Swift has been

839
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 3: ruled out for this game.

840
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 4: Really, so that's a big yeah.

841
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that just came in.

842
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 4: And so what's his injury?

843
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 3: They said, growing, He's got the groin, so it's gonna

844
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: be tough on him.

845
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's loose Groun's a happy growing and this isn't

846
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 4: very happy right now.

847
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,360

877

Speaker 3: he's gonna spend time with us that way, but apologize

878
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 3: for that. But he was confirmed, double confirmed. As a

879
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: guy who we used to do training, we say, don't confirm,

880
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: double confirm. He was double confirmed, and things happened that way.

881
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor talks to the media this week, and we'll

882
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 3: hear from him and Joe Flacco. Uh, but let's start

883
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: with Zach Taylor as he gets ready for this game

884
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 3: against dub Airs.

885
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 14: Does he need I mean, you've seen, you've seen what

886
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 14: he's done. Came in and played on a Thursday, you know,

887
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 14: after three days of practice. So I think if anybody,

888
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 14: if anybody in this league can get by with minimal

889
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 14: reps right now, it's it's tempt.

890
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 13: So if he if he didn't practice at all, if

891
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 13: physically he could go Sunday, you would.

892
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 14: Still be Yeah, And we've got a plan in place

893
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 14: to see what we can do physically during the week.

894
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 14: So he won't be today, he won't be out there

895
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 14: during the open portion of things will come out after that,

896
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 14: but we got to play in place to see where

897
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 14: he's at as the week goes. Yeah, I mean, here's

898
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 14: the deal with him. I don't know because I've never

899
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 14: done it. He wants to play in the game, and

900
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 14: so kudos to him. Man, he's been here three weeks.

901
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 14: He wants to play. I he hate speaking for him,

902
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 14: but that's what he's told me. We'll have to work

903
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 14: through the week to see if that's that's able to

904
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 14: do that. It's a throwing shoulder, it's painful, but I mean,

905
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 14: call a guy who wants to do that, wants to

906
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 14: get out there and play with something like that. Credit

907
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 14: to him. So we'll go through the week and see

908
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 14: where it ends up and have Jake ready to go

909
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 14: to and and just see how it plays out. Responded, Yeah,

910
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 14: I've been happy with Jake's response. He's still working hard.

911
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 14: If he's in there and he gets the opportunity, I

912
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 14: have confidence in Jake that Jake can win us the game.

913
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 14: So howeverd shakes out will have a great point in

914
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 14: place to help those guys.

915
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 17: Can you elaborate kind of what you mean kind of

916
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 17: the whole kudos to him. Point about Flacco just getting

917
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 17: here and wanted to.

918
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 14: Play, Yeah, I mean he's been he wasn't hear in

919
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 14: the off season, he wasn't invested in our training camp,

920
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 14: you know. And so for him to come in and

921
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 14: it would be easy to make a decision that there's

922
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 14: no way I'm playing, you know, I just I've got

923
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 14: a ac joint. We got a bye week next week.

924
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 14: Let's just let this think. Heel up, and that has

925
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 14: not been the communication he's given to me at all. Now,

926
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 14: ultimately he may not be able to play. We may

927
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 14: make that decision. But for him just to want to

928
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 14: put it out there for our team himself, like he

929
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 14: said before, He's just a football player. That's what he does.

930
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 14: That certainly goes along with me.

931
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 10: Understandable. He doesn't need the reps what he's done.

932
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 13: But how comfortable do you need to feel on Sunday?

933
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 14: No, I really don't. I mean again, I've I've seen

934
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 14: him show up three days with no knowledge of our

935
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 14: offense whatsoever. Jamar got minimal work that week. The next week,

936
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 14: we got no physical reps whatsoever. And so I think

937
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 14: that the proofs out there that you know, we we

938
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 14: could do it if we needed to. I'm not that's

939
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 14: not my terminology. We'll just work through the week and

940
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 14: see rings up. He will not practice the same thing

941
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 14: with pain Taler.

942
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 18: It's almost and saying if he gets basically good enough

943
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 18: for Sunday, it's probably the better question for Jacob being

944
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 18: away for a couple of weeks, specially playing not playing.

945
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 10: It's just kind of have to see how much that

946
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 10: maybe helps him little bit to clear his head.

947
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, that probably better question for him. You know, he's

948
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 14: had that experience before where he's played for us, and

949
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 14: so again I've got confidenent them, I've seen him do it.

950
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 14: We'll put together a great plan that that enhances everything

951
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 14: we can do.

952
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 19: Defense is eleven turnovers, Yeah, their first in the league

953
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 19: and turnover margin, you know, and they've had a ton

954
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 19: of takeaways, picks, fumbles, guy guys that have a real

955
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 19: knack for the ball.

956
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 5: You know.

957
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 14: I know that the guys that are healthy right now,

958
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 14: the backers and the safeties have done an excellent job

959
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 14: taking the ball away from people anticipating throws, doing a

960
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 14: great job with their covered structures of being in a

961
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 14: position to be aggressive.

962
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 4: You know.

963
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 14: The unknown who they're corners are yet no with Tyreek

964
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 14: to see how he plays out. But those guys in

965
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 14: the in the dB room, I've had some turnovers as well,

966
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 14: so a really good job. Again when you're number one

967
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 14: in the league and turnover margin. That says a lot

968
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 14: about how you're playing. And so it's a real challenge

969
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 14: for our guys to protect the ball, protect the quarterback.

970
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 14: I've got to get you in and over there as

971
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 14: the world coach.

972
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 17: What do you appreciate about what pe Ryan brings to

973
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 17: the offense.

974
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 14: I mean, he's just the same guy every day, you know,

975
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 14: for years now. I always used to watch his tape

976
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 14: when he was in Kansas City and Denver. I'd go

977
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 14: through every week and watch his protections and just consistent

978
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 14: throughout his entire career. Very reliable, hard to bring down,

979
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 14: durable back understands where you're fitting the ball, does a

980
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 14: great job in protection, has a great knack for the checkdowns.

981
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 14: So again, just just the combination of him and Chase

982
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 14: back there gives you a lot of confidence in your backfield.

983
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 14: And Tas has really come along too, So it's a

984
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 14: really good room. Justin's done a great job with those guys. Sama.

985
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 14: Just again, he's the he's the the vet in the

986
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 14: room that you does it exactly how you expected to do.

987
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 14: Not that the other guys don't. They do a great

988
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 14: job as well, but somas. He's just done it for

989
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 14: a long time.

990
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 18: You said you wouldn't classify it as a must winner,

991
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 18: you wouldn't use those terms.

992
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 10: What is your message do ye.

993
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 11: With Flacco's situation?

994
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 10: Do you have to do any differently with Sean Clifford

995
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 10: just in case?

996
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 14: Well, he'll get Scout team reps, you know, more so

997
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 14: than he would have in the past, when when Jake's

998
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 14: gotten most of those. So again, Brad always does a

999
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 14: great job during the special teams period. That that's just

1000
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 14: any any quarterback room you're in, that's where you get

1001
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 14: the work for the guys that don't get a lot

1002
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 14: of reps. So certainly he'll get more with Joe being

1003
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 14: out and uh of practice today, he'll get He'll get

1004
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 14: more opportunity with Scout team reps and normally Jake takes

1005
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 14: pretty much all of them. So again that's where his

1006
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 14: work will come in.

1007
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 20: Zach, what did you learn over the three weeks that

1008
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 20: Jake was through and a half weeks that Jake was

1009
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 20: a quarterback in terms of the way you guys run things,

1010
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 20: the way he played, and then how quickly it kind

1011
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 20: of got better when Joe got your real lessons you

1012
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 20: took from that time period.

1013
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 14: I mean, it's that was a wholesale offense. We got

1014
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 14: to play better and and at times there were tough

1015
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 14: circumstances that the Minnesota game got out of control fast

1016
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 14: with just turnovers that that we've done an excellent job

1017
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 14: of preventing, you know, in terms of the fumbles and

1018
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 14: things like that. Next week we went on the road

1019
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 14: in a tough environment. I think Denver speaks for himself

1020
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 14: right now how they're playing on defense. That's that's been

1021
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 14: a tough challenge for everybody. And then Detroit obviously has

1022
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 14: been a great tam as well. They've been getting after everybody.

1023
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 14: So so it was a challenge for any quarterback that's

1024
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 14: playing those units. Obviously we didn't we didn't hold up

1025
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 14: to the challenge in any way, shape or form. That

1026
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 14: was on all of us. And we put that behind us.

1027
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 14: And now our offense is doing a great job these

1028
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 14: last couple of weeks and we got to keep doing that.

1029
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 14: And so if it's Jake that steps in, I got

1030
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 14: full confidence that that will continue to operate at a

1031
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 14: high level and be all score some points with that.

1032
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 4: So you think that the.

1033
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 21: Offense could pick up Jake's level play given the fact

1034
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 21: that they've been playing at a certain level.

1035
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 14: I think that's everybody. I think everybody picks everybody up,

1036
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 14: you know, and it's the quarterback lifting up others, others

1037
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 14: lifting up the quarterback. It's it's that's part of what

1038
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 14: a great unit does is find different ways for different

1039
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 14: guys to step up whatever position they play, maybe and

1040
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 14: and find a way to get the most out of everybody.

1041
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 21: Can you put your finger on the let's revived the

1042
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 21: running game in the last two weeks, big numbers.

1043
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 14: I mean, I think we've we've had better control is

1044
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 14: not a great word of the game, but just opportunity

1045
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 14: with with drives. I think you guys have heard me

1046
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 14: myself a million times. Getting that first first down really

1047
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 14: gives us a chance to get into a flow. And

1048
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 14: we've done a much better job of that these last

1049
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 14: couple of weeks. And so you got a chance to

1050
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 14: give the run game some opportunity there. And you know,

1051
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 14: sometimes people are so held being on on taking taking

1052
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 14: away our receivers, you know, so it opens up the

1053
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 14: great opportunity. Our guys have done a good job maximizing that,

1054
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 14: and we have to keep that up.

1055
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 20: There's something that switched to a point that you look

1056
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 20: at with the offensive.

1057
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 10: Line pitch're just saying how well he's felt like they

1058
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 10: have played.

1059
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 18: The last couple of weeks is something you feel like

1060
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 18: has been a turning point for them over the course

1061
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 18: of this year.

1062
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 14: They've worked really hard at it, you know, and even

1063
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 14: when we weren't really statistically you want the tape having

1064
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 14: having a great deal of success, we still believe that

1065
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 14: we were right there. It was just we got to

1066
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 14: fine tune some things to continue to improve. You know,

1067
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 14: We've we've had two young guards that are playing in there,

1068
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 14: and they're only going to get better with every rep

1069
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 14: they take. And so again we've been mixing in people

1070
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 14: in that room, and whoever it is, whether it's the

1071
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 14: two rookies, whether it's been Dalton or Lucas, I got

1072
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 14: confidence in that room continue to rise up. And again

1073
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 14: they have a lot of confidence right now. So sometimes

1074
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 14: you just get into a rhythm and things start to click,

1075
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 14: and you find a little bit of your identity in

1076
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 14: the run game. You start to maximize that and then

1077
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 14: you have some success and then the guys see, all right,

1078
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 14: we're working. We've got a great cohesive unit here. We're

1079
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 14: finding success in this That confidence gives you momentum, and

1080
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 14: then you continue to build off that momentum. I think

1081
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 14: that's just what these last couple weeks have been for us.

1082
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 22: There are a couple of running plays where it would

1083
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 22: be a big run and you see Orlando kind of

1084
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 22: big reaction pointing to the sidelight you, guys, is that

1085
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 22: something when you see stuff like that that.

1086
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 10: Convinces you to keep going back to it more? Does that?

1087
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 5: Is that?

1088
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 7: Can that impacting a play?

1089
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 5: Cards? Well?

1090
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 14: I think the success of the run is what impacts

1091
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 14: me as much as anything. It's great to have that emotion.

1092
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 14: It's great to have guys. Scott does a great job

1093
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 14: getting those guys to go cover down the field and

1094
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 14: pick people up, and Dalton has some great examples of

1095
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 14: that in Pittsburgh that stood out to me. Those guys

1096
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 14: all play with great energy and when you're finding success

1097
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 14: and the run war the path. When they say protect

1098
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 14: and they see Drew sample block two guys and to

1099
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 14: throw a stutter go to t Higgins for touchdown, they

1100
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 14: get as fired up about that as they do for

1101
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 14: the run game. So I think everything gets them excited

1102
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 14: when you're having success on offense and you're being efficient,

1103
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 14: you're being explosive and both run in pass and will

1104
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 14: continue to try to attack defenses as best we see

1105
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 14: fit for that week. Go ahead, Go ahead, Jeff.

1106
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 21: Ted gets a lot of pub for me, just ed,

1107
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 21: but as a player the last because he's getting older,

1108
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 21: it seems like he is getting almost better of it.

1109
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 14: As a head coach, Yeah, I mean he's he's does

1110
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 14: a great job. He is certainly a leader on the field,

1111
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 14: certainly a leader in the old line room.

1112
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

1113
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 14: Probably my favorite time of day with Ted is the walkthroughs,

1114
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 14: just the commitment to excellency he's gotten the walkthroughs and

1115
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 14: the energy he plays with in the detail of trying

1116
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 14: to get it right and asking the right questions to

1117
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,240
Speaker 14: get us going. So those are things that people wouldn't

1118
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 14: even see, you know, they see the emotion on the

1119
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 14: field and the effort he plays with. But he's consistent

1120
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 14: with that throughout the day, throughout the preparation, and it's

1121
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 14: great when you have a captain that's like that and

1122
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 14: continues to lead others the right way. That's he's pulling

1123
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 14: people up. He's trying to make everybody better. He's demanding

1124
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 14: of other people, and he's very demanding of the rookies

1125
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 14: next to him, and I think that's that's a big

1126
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 14: part of it.

1127
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 13: By week's coming up, how much do you guys weigh

1128
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 13: that into the system, you know, whether you best playing

1129
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 13: or not.

1130
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 14: We'll weigh everything in there. But we'll see how he

1131
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 14: feels as a week progresses, and we'll make a decision

1132
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 14: from that. And again there's certainly an element of protecting

1133
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 14: them from certain Now I'm got to trust him how

1134
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 14: he feels and how he communicates, and I trust eighteen

1135
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 14: years in he's probably played with injuries before on I

1136
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 14: can do this or I can't do this, And so

1137
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 14: I think we'll get good information as the next couple

1138
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 14: of days go bye and make our decision what we

1139
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 14: need to do given.

1140
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 10: The importance of his position. Could it go up to

1141
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 10: a pregame work.

1142
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 14: At like it might? You know, I've never been in

1143
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 14: this exact situation, So I hate to sit here on

1144
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 14: a Wednesday and to find exactly how the week's gonna look.

1145
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 14: We have an idea in our own heads, and Joe's

1146
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 14: on that same page, and we'll just see how it

1147
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 14: shakes out. Yeah, Yeah, he's been good I don't have

1148
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 14: any updates on there. It's gone as we had hoped.

1149
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 14: He's had a great attitude, great energy about him. You know,

1150
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 14: he's in the meetings, met with than one on one.

1151
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 14: He's been great to be around and optimistic and things

1152
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 14: have been going well. But I don't have any update

1153
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 14: on the timeline back.

1154
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 15: When when the defense needs a lift, you've talked about

1155
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 15: leaders stepping up, you spend more time during the practice

1156
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 15: week leaning that way, watching the defense, around the defense.

1157
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 11: Ord's that.

1158
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 14: It's the same as as I always do, you know,

1159
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 14: communicating with the defensive staff, interacting with the players.

1160
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 5: I do.

1161
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 14: I do spend time with the offense as well. As

1162
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,959
Speaker 14: you're getting ready to call the game. That's important as well.

1163
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 14: So it's a head coach, you got to you got

1164
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 14: to manage a lot of different things. And I do

1165
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 14: everything I can to be there for the defense and

1166
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 14: help them with my feedback. And that's that's what I do.

1167
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 15: Are you seeing what you need to see out of

1168
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 15: a guy or a couple of guys in that room.

1169
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 10: I know it's still kind of early in the week.

1170
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, Yeah, everything's been positive. Everything's the response has been

1171
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 14: what we have We haven't had an opportunity to do

1172
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 14: a lot yet. You know, we just had the meetings

1173
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 14: this morning, and the walkthrough that part is easy. It's

1174
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 14: easy to pass that test. And so again we'll just

1175
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 14: we'll see how the practices go.

1176
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 17: Knowing Ben Johnson for as long as you have, what

1177
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 17: do you thought of his first year as a head

1178
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 17: coach and the job he's doing.

1179
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 14: I think he's doing an excellent job. I think he's

1180
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 14: put together a really good staff. He's done a great

1181
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 14: job getting his team to where they're at right now.

1182
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 14: It's it's obviously it's challenging for every team. Everyone's trying

1183
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 14: to find a way to win, and everyone's got close games.

1184
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 14: But Ben's a very smart guy. I think he's been

1185
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 14: thorough and detailed and demanding, and I know that he's

1186
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 14: gonna be very successful during this time there.

1187
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 4: A medical staff feels like Joe Flacco is unable to go.

1188
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 4: What do you do as a backup? I mean, do

1189
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 4: you have Joel on the side. I mean, it's just

1190
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 4: the start against nicked up God forbid.

1191
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 14: And yeah, we'll see, we'll see as we get through

1192
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 14: the week exactly what our quarternight claim will be.

1193
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 3: All right as Zach Taylor talking with the media getting

1194
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 3: ready for Chicago Bears. He knows Ben Jonson Well is

1195
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 3: gonna be very interesting. We'll come back and break it

1196
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: all down. You're listening to the Bengals pep Prowley SO

Speaker 3: presented by just Bear Chicken on the Cincinnati Bengals Radio Network.

1202
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: We heard from the coach. Now let's hear from the quarterback,

1203
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: the spinner. Not Joe Cool, but Joe calm, Joe Flacco.

1204
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 6: I feel good?

1205
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, you feel good about.

1206
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean, I listen.

1207
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 23: I've never really talked about injuries before, so I don't

1208
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 23: know what to say, but.

1209
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel I feel good. Yesterday it went while

1210
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 6: I was happy without one.

1211
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 13: So what's the biggest obstacle point with that type of

1212
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 13: shoulder spring with how how does that make it's more

1213
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 13: difficult to maybe other natures?

1214
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 23: Yeah, well, I think it's I don't know I've never

1215
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 23: really dealt with it before, but I guess there's a

1216
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 23: point where it's not really up to you. It's just

1217
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 23: kind of how it's reacting and and and how you feel.

1218
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 23: So that's why I wanted to make sure, you know,

1219
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 23: I was able to test it out a little bit.

1220
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 14: So it was Wednesday, just today, We're just give it

1221
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 14: one more day and then give it the shot on Thursday.

1222
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 23: I didn't want to do anything to you know, I

1223
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 23: think the I think the idea was just treatment and

1224
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 23: and get as much as that, get as much of

1225
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 23: that as possible, get it feeling as good as possible,

1226
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 23: and then go from there, needing.

1227
00:57:58,960 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 10: To see how it reacts.

1228
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 3: Is that why even though you say you feel.

1229
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 4: Good about like you really need to need a couple.

1230
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 18: More nations to make sure on Sunday everything's good or

1231
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 18: at this point is it good?

1232
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 23: Well, I feel pretty good. I just think, yeah, I

1233
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 23: you don't want to just assume you're gonna be able

1234
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 23: to throw or not really know. So I think I

1235
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 23: wanted I definitely wanted to be able to go out

1236
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 23: there at some point this week and and and feel

1237
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 23: good about what was going on.

1238
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 6: I think that's all I was trying to say, kind.

1239
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,959
Speaker 18: Sailer, kudos to you on wanting to try to play

1240
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 18: through this. Why is it so important to try to

1241
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 18: play through where you could have easily sent with the

1242
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 18: Bible on the other side to just this heel and

1243
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 18: come back out your side.

1244
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 6: I don't know. I didn't really give it much thought.

1245
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 23: I just always it's like, if you can, you know,

1246
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 23: just just you try to play. You're the quarterback, you know,

1247
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 23: and and then you take it from there. So I

1248
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 23: think my initial instinct is always just, you know, whatever

1249
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 23: we can do to get there and then adjust.

1250
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 17: Do you anticipate doing just normal pregame workout and all

1251
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 17: that kind of stuff on Sunday?

1252
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, I don't do much, you know, going into

1253
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 23: the game anyway. And I mean, yeah, I don't necessarily

1254
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 23: anticipate trying to do anymore, just to just to just

1255
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 23: to go feel it.

1256
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 18: Out once the game starts, to you expect any limitations

1257
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 18: or you are just the same.

1258
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 6: It's gonna treat it the same, you know.

1259
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 23: If I'm out there and you know, then I'm treating

1260
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 23: it the same, just like any other game.

1261
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 10: I mean, it's the same amount of I.

1262
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 23: Think it's gotten better like there's certain things about it

1263
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 23: that is that have gotten better. I feel like I

1264
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 23: just not having dealt with it before, But I feel

1265
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 23: like it's something that definitely you can feel improvement on

1266
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 23: day to day. But at the same time, it's one

1267
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 23: of those things that you know, you can aggravate it

1268
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 23: and piss it off and and all those things.

1269
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 21: So the offense responded the Steeler game and against the

1270
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 21: Jets for the most part last week. Do you feel

1271
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 21: a sense of obligation the offense really produced with you

1272
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 21: there you want to.

1273
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 23: I think when you're the guys out there play in

1274
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 23: you always there's always a sense of obligation to to

1275
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 23: go out there and and and be there for your team.

1276
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 23: I mean I missed, you know, and sent in in

1277
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,919
Speaker 23: kind of terms of that showing up for your team,

1278
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 23: Like I missed.

1279
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 6: My second son's birth because I wanted.

1280
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 23: I thought it was important for the quarterback to be

1281
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 23: out there, and you know, I didn't know I was

1282
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 23: gonna miss it, Like it just so happened.

1283
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 6: That he came on that day.

1284
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 23: But like, yeah, I do, I do feel a sense

1285
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 23: of obligation being out there for your for the guys

1286
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 23: that you play with, for sure. I think it's just

1287
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 23: natural to, you know, when you're when you play this

1288
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 23: game to kind of want to be out there with everybody.

1289
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 10: Did you allow yourself to I won't be able to

1290
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 10: go this week or as a bit from the job,

1291
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 10: I mean text on Wednesday you want to play.

1292
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's been pretty clear that.

1293
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1294
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 15: Uh.

1295
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 23: I think that was just always the mindset is getting

1296
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 23: to the point where I can and like working towards that,

1297
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 23: and then you know, I think with this specifically, it

1298
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 23: was always going to come down to like you just can't.

1299
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 23: But I think mindset wise, it was just I am

1300
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 23: until you know, I just know I can't.

1301
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 17: No, I was curious, would you be willing to share

1302
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 17: what the worst injury you've ever played through is?

1303
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 15: Uh?

1304
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 23: There was one. We ended up playing New England in

1305
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 23: the playoffs and we won. I only completed I only

1306
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 23: threw like eleven passes that game. But like it was

1307
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 23: something I was dealing with all year, like I wear

1308
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 23: I make sure I've had my hips up and stuff

1309
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 23: these days ever since then, because I had something on

1310
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 23: my hip that just kept blowing up, and by the

1311
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 23: end of the year, my whole left leg was just

1312
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 23: like destroyed, Like I was not moving well at all,

1313
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 23: and that was that was an issue. It was just

1314
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 23: because it was it was something that you felt like

1315
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 23: was gonna get was getting better, and then all of

1316
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 23: a sudden you land on it again and playing on

1317
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 23: turf or whatever. And it's just it was just the

1318
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 23: length that I had to deal with that, like the

1319
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 23: length of the year that I had to deal with that,

1320
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 23: and the fact that it was annoying because you kind

1321
01:01:58,360 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 23: of felt like it was getting better and then it

1322
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 23: would be it worse again.

1323
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 17: So you mentioned you didn't complete many passes in that game,

1324
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 17: but any good memories from maybe something you did were

1325
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 17: you kind of pushed through in that game against the Patriots.

1326
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1327
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 23: We won the game and we didn't have to We

1328
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 23: didn't have to throw the ball that much. So anytime

1329
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 23: you go win a playoff game up in New England,

1330
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 23: it's a good memory. First the first first hand, first

1331
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 23: play the game right took for a touchdown.

1332
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 16: So do you weigh the real percussions of maybe playing

1333
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 16: now what that would mean down the road the rest

1334
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,919
Speaker 16: of the season, look at it as this week.

1335
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 6: I think there's time to do that, and I don't.

1336
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 23: I don't think i've I don't think I've necessarily thought

1337
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 23: about that in this case.

1338
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 13: How much this is about just maximizing me, like what

1339
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 13: you got here said, maximizing all the opportunities we get care?

1340
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 6: How much of that is Listen, I don't know.

1341
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 23: I think you can try to like frame it in

1342
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 23: in that context, but I just feel like I just

1343
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 23: feel like it's always kind of in my mindset and

1344
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 23: I'm not changing it now.

1345
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 13: So what's what's a mood been like after a loss

1346
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 13: like you'll have last week as you'll get ready.

1347
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 10: For this team?

1348
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 23: Yeah, Listen, it's tough. I honestly feel like in spite

1349
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 23: of that, we've had a we've had a good week

1350
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 23: mentally and and and physically. I think guys have been

1351
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 23: you know, I think guys have been chopping at the

1352
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 23: bit to get back out there, and I think it's

1353
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 23: shown in a positive way. I think there's been a

1354
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 23: lot of energy, and practices have had some good tempo

1355
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 23: to them, and I think that's a good time.

1356
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 10: How crucial is this game, especially going into the buy

1357
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 10: So you guys.

1358
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 6: Haven't I've talked about it before.

1359
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 23: I mean, they're all so crucial every single one that

1360
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 23: you know, we only play seventeen of them, and yeah,

1361
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 23: it's more than we used to, but they're still all

1362
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 23: so important. And I've also talked about the fact that

1363
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 23: you can't really think about those things because that's just

1364
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 23: putting more pressure on you and it's making you make decision.

1365
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 23: It'll make you make decisions that you know are bad.

1366
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 23: You know they're not they're not They're not how you

1367
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 23: should be playing the game. So you know, that's always

1368
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 23: the case, that's always there looming how important the game is.

1369
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 23: But we got to keep our blinders on and just

1370
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 23: go do what we do.

1371
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 11: What was.

1372
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I I hopefully those guys got something out

1373
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 6: of it, you know.

1374
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 23: And and I I feel like sometimes a's players, you

1375
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 23: feel like you have to do those things when you're

1376
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 23: not maybe playing the way you want to.

1377
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 6: And I don't know if they if they end up

1378
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 6: being positive or not.

1379
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 23: But but just from like I said a couple of

1380
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 23: minutes ago, talking about the energy that we had a

1381
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 23: practice and the tempo that we were playing with, it

1382
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 23: feels as though it feels as though those guys came

1383
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 23: together a little bit and you could tell by the

1384
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 23: way they practice this week.

1385
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 18: How little you've been a part of how many players?

1386
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 23: Not many, I mean a few throughout the years, and

1387
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 23: they're usually a little awkward and uncomfortable and and us

1388
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 23: it takes a little bit of time to kind of

1389
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 23: get to the point, but then you eventually do get

1390
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 23: there and find and find the reason for having it,

1391
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 23: and they usually end up being.

1392
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 6: Positive because of that.

1393
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 23: But as you can imagine, like when you when you

1394
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 23: call those there's probably a little bit of awkwardness and

1395
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 23: there's a little bit of a tension just because it's

1396
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 23: usually it's usually happening because of stuff that you don't

1397
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 23: want is going on on the field. So but yeah,

1398
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 23: in my experience, you probably sit in there and it's

1399
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 23: tough to kind of get going, and then as you

1400
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 23: get going, you find some reason that you that you

1401
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 23: find the reason that you did it, and hopefully.

1402
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 6: You have a good reaction to it.

1403
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 21: Is that kind of what you touched on after the

1404
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 21: game on Sunday, that everybody has to kind of focus

1405
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 21: on doing their own job to that's their ability and

1406
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 21: not have blinders on.

1407
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't.

1408
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 23: You can't worry about what you've done in the past,

1409
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 23: and you can't worry about what's about to happen three

1410
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 23: hours after the kickoff. You have to just go play

1411
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 23: the game, and you can't worry about, you know, what

1412
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 23: people were thinking when things happen throughout the course of

1413
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:02,439
Speaker 23: a game.

1414
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 6: You just got to you gotta just go.

1415
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 23: Play and and and.

1416
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 6: You look up when it's all said and done.

1417
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 23: And you're cheering with your teammates, and it's it's such

1418
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 23: a hard thing to do. I think that's it's it's

1419
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 23: kind of like corny and cliche to talk about, but

1420
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 23: it is such a hard thing to do. Is you know,

1421
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 23: just be in the moment. Being in the moment is

1422
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 23: I mean in my experience, I mean, it's just you find.

1423
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 6: A way to do it. But maybe it's like.

1424
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 23: How can you just take this secret formula and be

1425
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 23: in the moment at all times? There's always things trying

1426
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 23: to distract you. And I think that's the biggest cause

1427
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 23: of just making decisions and playing, you know, not up

1428
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 23: to your standards, because you're worried about things other than

1429
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 23: the task at hand. And it's that's why when you

1430
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 23: talk about routines and everything like that, it's it's it's

1431
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 23: giving yourself the best percentage to be in the moment

1432
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 23: when you need to be in the moment. And I

1433
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 23: don't think it's like a full fool proof method that

1434
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 23: you have, Like you have your routine and he has

1435
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 23: his routine and it works hopefully, you know, ninety five

1436
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 23: percent of the time, and you can be in the moment.

1437
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 6: But there's all these outside distractions.

1438
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 23: That are that they are they're just distracting you from

1439
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 23: being in the moment when you need to be in

1440
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 23: the moment. And one of those things is, you know,

1441
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 23: how did we play last week?

1442
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 6: Man?

1443
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 23: We really need to win. Well, really needing to win

1444
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 23: isn't a real thing. It's it's worrying about stuff that

1445
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 23: you can't control in the moment, and you got to

1446
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 23: get out of that mindset.

1447
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 3: All right, just Joe Flacco, we'll take a break. I

1448
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 3: want to come back and break that down with you. Lab.

1449
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 3: A lot of things I heard there that come from

1450
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 3: an eighteen year veteran about how to handle a bump

1451
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 3: in a rod or a speed bump.

1452
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 4: I heard a lot about it in the moment. Yeah,

1453
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean there was a lot of that.

1454
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 3: All right, we'll be right back. You're listening to the

1455
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 3: Bengals Routing Show right here on the Sin Siety Bengals

1456
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 3: Radio Network, presented by Just Bear Chicken. Welcome back to

1457
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 3: the Bengals Rowley Show presented by Just Bare Chicken right

1458
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 3: here on the Bengals Radio Network at on the Ryan Eatery,

1459
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 3: one of my favorite spots. Now. I'm hoo yeah, sure,

1460
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 3: but I want to get back to Joe Flacco. You bo.

1461
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 3: We both heard in the moment, but what also heard

1462
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 3: was wisdom from an eighteen year veteran.

1463
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 4: No doubt he is something special. I think he's got

1464
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 4: the right mindset, the right approach, the right attitude. He's

1465
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 4: got it all. And you know, he's physically gifted as well.

1466
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 4: I mean, the guy he's a big man six or

1467
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,839
Speaker 4: four plus and thirty pounds and can rip the football,

1468
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 4: and he throws the ball with power and accuracy, and

1469
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 4: he can put her to any quadron into the football

1470
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 4: field with accuracy and with power. The players love him.

1471
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 4: Everybody I've talked to in the locker room. In a

1472
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,759
Speaker 4: short period of time, he has impacted them. He's made

1473
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 4: a tremendous impact on them in terms of being a leader,

1474
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 4: in terms of stepping up, in terms of saying you

1475
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 4: know put it on me. I got broad shoulders. I

1476
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 4: can handle it. I've been in the league fifteen years.

1477
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 4: I can get this done. Let's go play some football.

1478
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 4: Let's go win some football games. And players respond to that.

1479
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,799
Speaker 4: Players love playing with Joe Flackhaw. Yeah.

1480
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: I think the other thing that I heard the press

1481
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 3: conference after the game last week, and I was just

1482
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 3: banging my fist on the table because he you know,

1483
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 3: the media was trying to bait him, you know, they

1484
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 3: were trying to bait him, you know, to blame the defense,

1485
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 3: to blame somebody. And he knew, because again he's a veteran.

1486
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 3: I see where you guys are going with this. And

1487
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 3: he's like, no, sure, we are one. He said, we

1488
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 3: are one. You know, we win as a team, we

1489
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 3: lose as a team. And when you got your guy

1490
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 3: out front basically taking that head on, saying I'm not

1491
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 3: going to let this get out of hand. I'm not

1492
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 3: even giving you one minuscule of a quote that you

1493
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 3: can spend to make some salacious headlines. And he's just

1494
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 3: a ware of everything around him.

1495
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 4: Salacious, good word box, I like it. Yeah he is.

1496
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,799
Speaker 4: I mean, he gets it. You know, he's a football lifer.

1497
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 4: He understands that it's a team game. It's team game

1498
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 4: in every sense in the world. There's nobody that's more important,

1499
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 4: more special than any other. And you know when the

1500
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 4: media does try to try to bait you and set

1501
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 4: you up and throw a hook in the water to

1502
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 4: see if you'll bite about your importance, you know how

1503
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 4: great you are. Team can't win without you. That kind

1504
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 4: of thing, that that that causes problems, that that divides

1505
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 4: the locker room. You don't need any of that, You

1506
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 4: don't need any of that happen whatsoever. So you know,

1507
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 4: hopefully Cincinnati Bengals can turn the worm turned around. There's

1508
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 4: certainly not out of it. You know, eight games in

1509
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 4: there's not an undefeated game team in the National Football League,

1510
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 4: not one. So you know, everybody's got their struggles, everybody's

1511
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 4: had their problems. The Bengals are far from out of it, man.

1512
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 3: Far from out The other thing I was going to

1513
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 3: ask you ab about what I think Joe Flacco gives

1514
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,600
Speaker 3: this team That is not written, it's not statistic, but

1515
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 3: he gives Zach Taylor some comfort to say, I know,

1516
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 3: I got a guy, a veteran guy that's gonna help

1517
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 3: me make sure that this team stays cohesive doing this

1518
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 3: turbulent time right here.

1519
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 4: I agree Box. I think he knows he's got a

1520
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 4: guy that can deliver his message. You know, he knows

1521
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 4: he's got a veteran presence in the locker room that

1522
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 4: understands exactly what he's trying to do, how he's trying

1523
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 4: to do it, why he's trying to do it, and

1524
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 4: can convey that to the entire locker room. So I

1525
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 4: do think in a very short period of time, Joe

1526
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 4: Flacco has garnered respect from the entire locker room both

1527
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 4: sides of the football. They look at him as the

1528
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 4: unquestioned leader. They look at him as you know, this

1529
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 4: guy is somebody to come in and normally save our season,

1530
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 4: but put together a hell of a run for us

1531
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 4: and we could have a great season. So you know,

1532
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 4: we'll see. It's it's you know, talk is cheap. You

1533
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,000

1548
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 3: before this game. There you go, because lap we know

1549
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 3: that this defense is number one in the NFL and

1550
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 3: turnover differential plus ten. We talked to a key, Uh.

1551
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 3: He talked about it. They are talked about it. It

1552
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:08,440
Speaker 3: is the identity, it has long been, uh, the identity

1553
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 3: of the monsters of the midway.

1554
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 4: You're right, Box, and I think turnovers are the biggest

1555
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 4: key to success or failure in any foot in any

1556
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 4: football game at any level, I think high school, college

1557
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 4: or National Football League. We do keys to the game.

1558
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 4: You know every single week, and it's almost like it's

1559
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 4: a given. Turnovers are going to be the biggest key.

1560
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 4: The first and foremost the thing that you want to

1561
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,440
Speaker 4: do is give extra possessions for yourself and take possessions

1562
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 4: away from the opponent if possible, and that that's a

1563
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 4: that's a big, big factor in winning and losing football games,

1564
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 4: there's no question. So the fact that there are plus ten,

1565
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 4: I mean says a lot. Uh eight games in they've

1566
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 4: had ten more possessions than the opponent. That's significant. That's

1567
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 4: better than one per game extra.

1568
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they're averaging seven point one points

1569
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 3: her turnover, which means they're converted in the scores. It

1570
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 3: reminds me of the player for them, Peena Tillman. I

1571
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 3: mean that guy just had a punches them out.

1572
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 4: Man.

1573
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 3: He was a professional puncher, not in the boxing says,

1574
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 3: but I mean just incredible. But they're also a lot

1575
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 3: like the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sense of they want

1576
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 3: to get a lead and then they just want to

1577
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 3: hand the ball off. They just want to pound you out.

1578
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,679
Speaker 3: Like you said earlier when you were talking to him.

1579
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the turnovers the reason I'm probably scoring

1580
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 4: at that rate seven points per turnover differential short fields.

1581
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 4: I mean they're they're turning the ball over and short

1582
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 4: fields for their offense, giving them like, you know, twenty

1583
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 4: five thirty yards they have to go to pay dirt

1584
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 4: and they're putting them in the end zone. Credit them too.

1585
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 4: They're finishing. They're not having red zone difficulties where they

1586
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 4: have to settle for field goals and all that, all

1587
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. But it is a typical Chicago

1588
01:14:53,160 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 4: Bear football team. Sound. They basic fundamentals are very important

1589
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,560
Speaker 4: to the Chicago Bears success that they're going to have

1590
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 4: during the course of the season. They know it, The

1591
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 4: players know it, coaches know it, organization knows it. That's

1592
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 4: that's their DNA. That that's what it's all about. Taking

1593
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 4: care of the football, running the football, stopping the run.

1594
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 4: You know, a balanced offense with a capable passing attack.

1595
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 4: Don't let the opponent hurt you with their passing attack. Simple,

1596
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 4: simple football, fundamental stuff.

1597
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the other fundamental stuff is you got

1598
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 3: to play sound football. But the non football stuff, Kevin

1599
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 3: is a buyered. There are guys in this league that

1600
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 3: have always seemed to just be where the ball is.

1601
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 3: You can't explain it. There's no you can't chalkboard it

1602
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 3: or whatever. It's just one of those weird things that

1603
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 3: they have. One of those guys they do.

1604
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 4: And you know, whenever we would play against a great

1605
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 4: offensi or defensive player, the coaches would put that name

1606
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 4: up on the chalkboard early in the week and say,

1607
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,719
Speaker 4: don't let this guy control and dick take the temple

1608
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 4: of the game. Can't let it happen. If he does,

1609
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 4: if we allow him to have his way, we're gonna

1610
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 4: have trouble. We're gonna have trouble winning the football game.

1611
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 4: So you know, some guys, you would you would have

1612
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 4: to try to work to neutralize their ability. They would

1613
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 4: line up like buyers. He's gonna line up on best

1614
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 4: receiver Jamar probably and try to minimize him, try to

1615
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 4: neutralize them, try to you know, take him out of

1616
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 4: the game as such. So others are gonna have to

1617
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 4: step up. You know, t Higgins is gonna have to,

1618
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 4: you know, make plays. Mike is sick, he's gonna have

1619
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,599
Speaker 4: to make plays. Guys are gonna have to do things

1620
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 4: above and beyond probably what they've done so far this season.

1621
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 4: Because I'm sure they're gonna put two on Jamar Chase,

1622
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 4: They're gonna put corner in safety on Jamar. I'd be

1623
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 4: shocked if they don't.

1624
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know. The other thing is, you know lap

1625
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 3: One of the things about these defenses when you go

1626
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 3: into Bengals that I think is advantage for us is

1627
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 3: Joe Flackle knows if you're gonna put two of my

1628
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 3: guy over here, Yeah, I'm expecting one of my other

1629
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 3: guys to beat their guy one on one.

1630
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean, it's like we've got talent. We have

1631
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 4: receivers in this room that are going to win one

1632
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 4: on one battles. I have all the confidence in the world.

1633
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 4: I have all the faith in the world. My guy's

1634
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 4: gonna beat their guy one on one, and if they don't,

1635
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 4: it's not gonna go well, you know. I mean, if

1636
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 4: they don't win their share of one on one's, it's

1637
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 4: you know, the coaching staff with the opponent obviously has

1638
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 4: comfort in the fact that we feel like, Okay, the

1639
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 4: rest of our guys can cover who they need to

1640
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 4: cover and take it away. We'll mix it up and

1641
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 4: run some zone, run some man, but we're going to

1642
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,759
Speaker 4: have the eraser, our best defensive back on your best weapon,

1643
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 4: and that's going to be a big matchup to watch

1644
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 4: and keep an eye on. But we're going to try

1645
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 4: to minimize the impact and the effect that the others

1646
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 4: have on the game.

1647
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 3: No question about it. We come back. I want to

1648
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 3: talk about special teams because it could be the turning

1649
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 3: point of this game. Both of them will overdue. It's

1650
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 3: the Bengals. Pep Rowley so broadcasts he live and on

1658
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 3: I appreciate that I smiled. The Blazer was looking good.

1659
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 3: Speaking of looking good, it would be nice to see

1660
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 3: our return team looking good.

1661
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 24: Yeah.

1662
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 3: Uh, it's just nobody's had a big run and they

1663
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 3: you know, McKee talked about that they got a couple

1664
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,879
Speaker 3: of guys averaging over twenty twenty five yards per return.

1665
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 3: But man, you talk about changing the field, special teams

1666
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:46,799
Speaker 3: can just make or break a day.

1667
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:51,799
Speaker 4: Really can. And Darren Simmons understands that better than anybody.

1668
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 4: He's been around coaching special teams in the National Football League,

1669
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,640
Speaker 4: ark than any special teams coach in the league right now.

1670
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 4: I think he understands the impact that special teams have

1671
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 4: on the game in terms of field position. Long field.

1672
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 4: Short field is what it's all about. I mean, that's

1673
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 4: their biggest goal. Their biggest objective in the football game

1674
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 4: is to give short fields to their offense by great returns,

1675
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 4: averaging a good number of yards per return and minimizing

1676
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 4: the number of plays that the offense has to run.

1677
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 4: And then on the flip side of it, long fields

1678
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 4: for the opponent, you know, and make them have to

1679
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 4: chew up a lot of plays. And the more snaps

1680
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,839
Speaker 4: you run, the higher the percentage of making a mistake

1681
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 4: during one of those snaps occurs. It's just you know,

1682
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:46,640
Speaker 4: basic math. And Darren Simmons is as good as there

1683
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 4: is in the National Football League. He has been for

1684
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 4: a while and he will be for a while longer.

1685
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 3: No question about it. You know, I'm growing to like

1686
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 3: the new kickoff. I wasn't a fan of it in

1687
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 3: the beginning. I think I'm used to it now. I

1688
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 3: still like the other way better, but yeah, I think that,

1689
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 3: you know, teams and players just have to figure out

1690
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 3: how to make it work to their advantage.

1691
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 4: I agree, And I think you know, there's a great

1692
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 4: returner for the Cincinnati Bengals in their history that's going

1693
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 4: in the Ring of honor or has gone in the

1694
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 4: Ring of Lamar Parrish. Yeah, I mean, that guy was

1695
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 4: was lightning in a bottle waiting to happen, waiting to

1696
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 4: be opened. He was spectacular, I mean, just incredible as

1697
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,919
Speaker 4: a return guy. And what he did for his football

1698
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 4: team thirteen non offensive touchdowns.

1699
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 3: That that number still just blows my mind.

1700
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,759
Speaker 4: It's sick, it really is. I mean, in terms of okay,

1701
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 4: interception returns, those are those are spectacular. They you know,

1702
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 4: they catch the fans fancy. There's no doubt about that

1703
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 4: fumble returns for touchdowns. But man, he made his mark

1704
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 4: also on special teams, returning kickoffs and returning punts for touchdowns.

1705
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 4: He had an unbelievable, an uncanny ability to make people

1706
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 4: miss in a short space. I mean tight quarters man.

1707
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 4: He would his lateral quickness was amazing, his explosion put

1708
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 4: the foot in the ground and go go sideways faster

1709
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 4: than anybody in the National Football League. God gave him

1710
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 4: a gift and he capitalized on it big time.

1711
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's a pretty predecessor to Barry Sanders, who

1712
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,639
Speaker 3: we all saw. Yeah, you know, Eric Thomas was talking

1713
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:34,640
Speaker 3: to Lamar. He played running back in college. But to me,

1714
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 3: it speaks again to the genius of Paul Brown. You

1715
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 3: take Ken Riley a quarterback and Lamar parisps are running back,

1716
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 3: and you turn them into these two defensive backs that

1717
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 3: or basically both Hall of famers.

1718
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 4: And my yeah, amazing. I mean rattler. Ken Riley quarterback

1719
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 4: at Florida A and M was gifted as a quarterback.

1720
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 4: He threw the ball pretty damn well as well, but

1721
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:01,840
Speaker 4: his feet were the big factor. I mean, he was

1722
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 4: a he was an option quarterback in high school and

1723
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 4: at the collegiate level at Florida and him very talented,

1724
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 4: very gifted player, and just a smart football player, just

1725
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:16,560
Speaker 4: an unbelievably high football IQ. Understood uh principles and fundamentals

1726
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 4: of the game and techniques in the game of football.

1727
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 4: And and then he goes and pairs him up with

1728
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 4: Lamar Parris. You have a quarterback and a running back

1729
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 4: that he converts to the other side of the football,

1730
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 4: and all they do is reward him by making big

1731
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 4: play after big play. It's amazing.

1732
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,600
Speaker 3: It just blows my mind. And again, Paul Brown. You

1733
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 3: know people will use the word genius to people throw

1734
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 3: the word genius around too much. Stop it.

1735
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 4: Paul Brown was a genius, total menza. His IQ was

1736
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,719
Speaker 4: as high as has ever been recorded.

1737
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can't get up there with Paul Brown

1738
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 3: and just say that you're very good, and you're pretty

1739
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 3: damn good, but you're not a genius. It's like I

1740
01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 3: heard the word great throwing around all the time, and

1741
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 3: he's just over you so much as diluted the word.

1742
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 3: We got another hour. We're scheduled to talk to Chris Jenkins.

1743

1785
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 5: one too. You know, you get to the point you're

1786
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 5: learning from some of the best of the best talent,

1787
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 5: learning mentally, physically, technique wise, and you know, he just

1788
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 5: told me so much, so many aspects of the game

1789
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 5: that I still didn't know about and he still he

1790
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 5: still says, you got much more to teach me. So

1791
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 5: it's been a very amazing experience working with him, and

1792
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 5: he's been a vital partner on my work so far

1793
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 5: in the lead.

1794
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 4: You know, people that don't play haven't played football at

1795
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 4: a very high level don't understand, you know, the techniques

1796
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 4: and fundamentals and a lineman. You know, i'll they do

1797
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 4: is knock each other around. There's no there's nothing going

1798
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 4: on there. There's just it's survival of the fittest. It's

1799
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 4: just who's the biggest, strongest, toughest. You know, all all

1800
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 4: of those kind of things is going to win the

1801
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 4: battle of the trenches. There's all kinds of techniques and

1802
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 4: fundamentals that you know that can take you to another

1803
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 4: level in the game of football. Your uncle, your dad,

1804
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 4: those guys playing at such a high level. What if

1805
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 4: they taught you over the years.

1806
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 5: Uh, they taught me the beauty of learning technique, the

1807
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,600
Speaker 5: proper way of technique, and then learning technique in the

1808
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 5: aspect of how it ticks you, Betty, No, talking to

1809
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 5: my uncle and my father, you know, they taught me

1810
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,640
Speaker 5: so much about myself that I didn't know about my

1811
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 5: technique loot and it's those little things that can get

1812
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 5: you go ahead on your gag.

1813
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 3: You know, Chris, I was thinking as you were saying

1814
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 3: that when people know a crap, whether it's you know, carpentry,

1815
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,920
Speaker 3: whether it's football, whether it's whatever, you know, even a chef,

1816
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 3: it's just things that they can see and right away

1817
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 3: they know it. Was there one thing that your uncle

1818
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 3: pointed out to you quickly that you never even thought of.

1819
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 3: That he just said, right away, one thing I noticed

1820
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 3: you're doing is this, and you're like, wow, I didn't

1821
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 3: even recognize that.

1822
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely. One thing we talked about a lot is me

1823
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 5: reading on the field because I'm a person I like

1824
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 5: to dispect the play as it's happening before I start

1825
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 5: to launch. And you know, my uncle's been starting to

1826
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 5: teach me that you can go, you can launch and

1827
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 5: take yourself to them, get into play without having it

1828
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 5: while seeing the play development.

1829
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 6: That makes sense.

1830
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 5: So being able to think on the fly and being

1831
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 5: able to as you're going, you already know what type

1832
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 5: of block or what type of technique you need to

1833
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 5: use while you're launching into your home, and you know

1834
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 5: that type of high level technique is some of the

1835
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 5: stuff you've been trying to build.

1836
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. That uh, that is high level. That is high

1837
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 4: level technique. Man, that's awesome to have to have that,

1838
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 4: that kind of support system in your in your back pocket.

1839
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,720
Speaker 4: You know, your your uncle and your dad. Now you

1840
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,839
Speaker 4: learned a lot from them. What about coaches? What coaches

1841
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 4: when you were a young player? Uh, in elementary school,

1842
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 4: at junior high school, even at the collegiate level. What

1843
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 4: coach took you to another level in terms of how

1844
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 4: you played the game of football from a fundamental and

1845
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 4: technique standpoint.

1846
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,600
Speaker 5: Oh, my high school coach is one hundred percent my

1847
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,640
Speaker 5: D line, my D line coach, Kevin mcdad and in

1848
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 5: my high school.

1849
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 11: So I called them to go.

1850
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 5: They they helped me a lot while I was in

1851
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 5: high school because I used to be a small kid,

1852
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 5: so they started teaching me my powers.

1853
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 3: You know you were talking about when you got Michigan.

1854
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 3: It was an eye opening thing for you as well,

1855
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 3: because you were you're pretty tagon good in high school

1856
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 3: and had a lot of hardware and a lot of credentials,

1857
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 3: and you got up there and realized so did everybody else.

1858
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 3: And you I'm really proud of how you were very

1859
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 3: candid about recognizing that and then putting, you know, nose

1860
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 3: to the grindstone to figuring out how to get better

1861
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 3: than everybody else.

1862
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean it's a humbling experience. I mean, you know,

1863
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 5: like I'm going into Michigan with cats like Aiden Hutchinson,

1864
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 5: Quitty Bay or there. You know, all these soon all

1865
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 5: pro athletes at Michigan, and you know, I'm trying to

1866
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 5: make a name for myself. They're one or two ways

1867
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 5: you could take it. You know, you can't feel sorry

1868
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 5: for yourself, you know, you trying to learn this stuff.

1869
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 5: Or you can build on that, you know, learn from

1870
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,560
Speaker 5: some of the you know, high level computing guys, and

1871
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 5: I was fortunate enough to have that support system from

1872
01:29:56,960 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 5: them to learn and build and have so much more

1873
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 5: the game that it just became a blast, you know.

1874
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean support system from a high, high caliber

1875
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 4: teammates that played the game at such a high level

1876
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 4: is an amazing thing to have in your back pocket

1877
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 4: as well. But we talked about the coaches. What about players.

1878
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 4: Is there a player that you said, I'm going to

1879
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 4: play the game of football just like this guy man

1880
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 4: watching him on tape, watching him on the football field,

1881
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 4: be it a practice of be during the course of games.

1882
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,600
Speaker 4: He does everything right. I mean, you know, everything is

1883
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 4: so sound he is. He's a football protege. Was there

1884
01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 4: anybody like that that affected you or impacted you as

1885
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 4: a young player.

1886
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 5: David o'jabo, I forgot that he was that guy. Let

1887
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 5: me do yeah, oh yeah. Watching him work, you know,

1888
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 5: he's one of those guys. He constantly competes at a

1889
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 5: high level, and you know at Michigan somehow every practice,

1890
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 5: you know, every game he was going at one hundred

1891
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 5: and ten miles an hour. And before he had the

1892
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 5: season that he had at Michigan, you know, it was

1893
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:15,840
Speaker 5: just seeing his work at seeing how intentional he was

1894
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,719
Speaker 5: with his training, with his practice, wept, you know, with everything,

1895
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 5: listening his mindset. So you know, as young guys were

1896
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 5: trying to absorb as much from him and Aiden Hutchinson

1897
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 5: as we could.

1898
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you. I'm gonna tell you to

1899
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 3: put on an imaginary general general manager had if somebody

1900
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 3: came here and said, give me, give me a scollary

1901
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 3: report on Aiden Hutchinson and Mason Graham, what would you

1902
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,679
Speaker 3: what would be your scoulary report on those two guys.

1903
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 5: Too? Yeah, oh man, that one. Two high levels, high

1904
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 5: working athletes that just have a love for the game.

1905
01:31:57,640 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 5: That's rare to see in a lot of people. Uh.

1906
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 5: The amount of time they taken the game is inspiring.

1907
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 5: And you know they're had the on watching film, study

1908
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:11,960
Speaker 5: to set up their opponent, and you know, they just

1909
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:15,960
Speaker 5: they just really intends when it comes to the problem solving.

1910
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 5: So if they do a rep all or they see

1911
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 5: something wrong with their technique, they're going to make sure

1912
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 5: they take sally.

1913
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 4: So seasons eight games old, three and five record right now,

1914
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 4: seasons far from over. I mean there's a lot of

1915
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 4: football to be played. Uh, Cincinnati Bengals, there's not a

1916
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 4: football team in the NFL it's undefeated right now. I

1917
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:38,639
Speaker 4: mean it's very balanced.

1918
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 3: It's a.

1919
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 4: Tough league, man, on a week for week basis, It's

1920
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,560
Speaker 4: the opponents are are high caliber. There's a lot of

1921
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,639
Speaker 4: good football players on every team in the National Football League,

1922
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:53,600
Speaker 4: a lot of good coaches coaching them. There's no cakewalking,

1923
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 4: there's no week off, there's no bye week where you're

1924
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 4: actually you know, playing a football game. And uh, in

1925
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 4: your actual buy So what do you have to do

1926
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 4: to make sure that it turns around what what are

1927
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 4: maybe a couple of three things that the Bengals have

1928
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,439
Speaker 4: to do have a much higher level and much better

1929
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 4: level at this stage.

1930
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 5: One is observing what went wrong and problem solving. You know,

1931
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 5: we can't you can't afford to feel sorry for yourself

1932
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 5: after a loss. You have to be able to problem

1933
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 5: solve and take the situation going into the next game.

1934
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,719
Speaker 5: And you know, the second thing is just looking forwards.

1935
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:35,679
Speaker 5: Like y'all said, there's a lot of football games left,

1936
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 5: a lot of opportunities, Lenning, and you know this isn't

1937
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,000

01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

1985
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 5: Sometimes you get back there and his ability to scramble

1986
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 5: it really passed your ability to tackle. Yeah, honestly, now

1987
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 5: to attribute him to uh really really staying on top

1988
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 5: of myself with my faculing ability.

1989
01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm sure that you were able to share what

1990
01:36:29,400 --> 01:36:32,360
Speaker 3: information you have with your teammates, like, hey, he's been

1991
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 3: doing this for a while, he's not new to this.

1992
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 3: This is just a character trait that's followed him from

1993
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:42,759
Speaker 3: there Gonzaga to sc to the NFL. And another Michigan

1994
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 3: guy up there Coast and Loveland man I mean he's

1995
01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:46,799
Speaker 3: doing well in that tight end position.

1996
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Yeah, you know, he's the hang of a player.

1997
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 5: He played hard, and you know we're right, we're going

1998
01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 5: against each other now. Always good to see my boy.

1999
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:02,320
Speaker 5: But you know what time it is, right right.

2000
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that after the game is over, you know, Yeah, Chris.

2001
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,719
Speaker 3: One of the things I think you've come to appreciate

2002
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 3: being in Cincinnati is that the fan base here is legit, man.

2003
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they really want to see you guys do well.

2004
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 3: I mean the way they are a paid course stadium

2005
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,160
Speaker 3: even here at our PEP rally shows and and things

2006
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 3: of that nature. You come from a place where they

2007
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 3: were packing them in. I mean, you know, I got

2008
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 3: a chance to go watch a football game of Michigan.

2009
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:30,679
Speaker 3: But the fans here, man, they really get after that paid.

2010
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 5: Corps absolutely, you know. And that just goes to show

2011
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 5: the love and the past that they have for the

2012
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 5: team and for the game. Man. You know, we love

2013
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:42,519
Speaker 5: and appreciate that, and that encourages us and players to

2014
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 5: play harder, you know, be more successful for them, because

2015
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 5: if they're giving their heart here and for us, you know,

2016
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,800
Speaker 5: we can't do everything in our power give them something

2017
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

2018
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let me let me ask you this as

2019
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 3: a guy that's got, you know, a second year under

2020
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 3: his belt that first year, talk about players, how veterans

2021
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 3: help you guys get acclimated to the game of football

2022
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 3: at this level because it's totally different from college.

2023
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 5: Right, absolutely, and that's huge. You know, you've got to

2024
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 5: be able to adapt quickly and it is a big

2025
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 5: difference in college. So having those better to ground and

2026
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 5: that will helps you to lead you business tech wuise,

2027
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 5: that's huge. And you know, we're blessed and fortunate enough

2028
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 5: to have a lot of great bet for Rome that

2029
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 5: have done that right, and you know, it makes that

2030
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:31,599
Speaker 5: transition easier.

2031
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: It makes.

2032
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 4: So Chris, you've got a new defensive line coach by

2033
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 4: the name of Jerry Montgomery. Uh played the game of

2034
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:44,840
Speaker 4: football at a high level himself, very good football coach.

2035
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 4: But with every change that you have in the coaching staff, UH,

2036
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 4: with your defensive line, there's going to be new techniques,

2037
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 4: new fundamentals, new expectations. What's been like with Jerry.

2038
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:02,200
Speaker 5: Is you know what, it's been awesome And it's been

2039
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 5: a process learning new technique you know, uh, stuff that

2040
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 5: we haven't been used to since last year. But you know,

2041
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 5: it's really we've really been improving upon it since the

2042
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 5: beginning of the year, learning how to do more, not

2043
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 5: that playing with one hand as opposed to do at time,

2044
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:21,839
Speaker 5: spend the edge and posing our will and being physical.

2045
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:24,880
Speaker 5: And you know, he's a very passionate coach and a

2046
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 5: great coach when it comes to that. You know, he's

2047
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 5: really hype on the details and we try to master

2048
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 5: those details. And that's the biggest thing.

2049
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he seems like a guy that gets very hyped out.

2050
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 3: I watched a couple of you know, just sessions with him, man,

2051
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 3: and he really wants the best for you guys. And

2052
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 3: I one thing I appreciate about what he said is,

2053
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't matter what I want, It matters

2054
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 3: what they want, and if they want to be right,

2055
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:52,840
Speaker 3: I want to help them become great. And that's really

2056
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 3: if you're a player in any sport, you want your

2057
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 3: coach to want for you, but you also want him

2058
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 3: to give you room and help to be the best

2059
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:05,560
Speaker 3: version of yourself on the field exactly.

2060
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 5: And that's that's you.

2061
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,800
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna switch gears here because you know it's

2062
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 3: it's tough being in the trenches. But there's a great

2063
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 3: group of guys that are are in the interior of

2064
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 3: the Sinai Bengals. And uh, the chemistry you guys have, man,

2065
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,600
Speaker 3: is really I I love watching it. But if I

2066
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 3: had to ask you, you know, without you know, naming

2067
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 3: names per se unless you want to, who's the funny

2068
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 3: guy in the group? Man, who's the guy that keeps

2069
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:35,679
Speaker 3: everybody loose?

2070
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 5: And and and you'll already got to answer that I question.

2071
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be you.

2072
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 5: Huh No, I'm kidding. I gotta I gotta give it

2073
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:57,600
Speaker 5: to my man. Uh. DJ Clayton he's one of.

2074
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 3: The guess he was on this show a couple of

2075
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 3: weeks ago. And yeah, he's a funny guy. He's got

2076
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 3: a sense of humor now, he has a sense of

2077
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 3: human But I think as a veteran man, it helps

2078
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 3: keep you young guys loose.

2079
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 4: You would I be right in assuming.

2080
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 5: That, Oh absolutely, you know, to see a guy do

2081
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 5: what he does at a high level, you know, have

2082
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 5: that laid back, funny personality that he does, you know,

2083
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 5: it's definitely it's definitely bringing a huge life to the room.

2084
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 4: Add to that, talking about veteran players that bring something

2085
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 4: to the room. What about Trey Hendrickson, he is I

2086
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 4: know he's not an interior defensive lineman, but he's, uh,

2087
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:44,880
Speaker 4: he's part of the brotherhood. You guys are all a

2088
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 4: big brotherhood. They're up front in the Bengals defensive line.

2089
01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:54,320
Speaker 4: The way he approaches football in the National Football League,

2090
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 4: it's the same way he approached in high school and

2091
01:41:56,160 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 4: college when he went to Florida. Just I mean, take

2092
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,799
Speaker 4: no prisoners man. It's it's he's gung hole. He's bringing

2093
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:07,600
Speaker 4: it every single snap. He's uh, he's gonna test the

2094
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 4: opponent and try to uh try to bring out uh

2095
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:15,640
Speaker 4: the best. He's he's unique. What have you learned from him?

2096
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, Like you said, his mentality to take no

2097
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:25,679
Speaker 5: prisoner's mentality, and you know that's infected like from every snap,

2098
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 5: every weapon practice, every rep with your technique list in

2099
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 5: regard that he's using that mentality and you can see

2100
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 5: how it shows on the field and he plays.

2101
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets after it, man. I think he gets

2102
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 3: stronger in the fourth quarter. And that's what callses problem

2103
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 3: for teams because this dude, man, he just wants it.

2104
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,679
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes people just want it and I told

2105
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 3: Lap Chris, you know in this in this league, everybody

2106
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 3: has skill, but then it becomes a matter of will,

2107
01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 3: man and that dude's will to get to the quarterback.

2108
01:42:57,960 --> 01:42:58,759
Speaker 3: It's a rarity.

2109
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, like his mentality. He will get to the quarterback.

2110
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 5: And they said, you're standing in my way. I take

2111
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:07,440
Speaker 5: no present mentality.

2112
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:12,640
Speaker 3: Go yeah, he's like that guy. Well what is it?

2113
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 3: I will hunt you down and I will find you.

2114
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 3: What is that movie I can't miss? Liam? Yea, Yeah,

01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:25,080

2160
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 25: you when yeah, you're you're often doing other things, but

2161
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 25: just having that to be recognized as is nothing but God,

2162
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 25: you know, nothing, nothing but Jesus. And that's what we

2163
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:55,640
Speaker 25: stand on over there as strong Christian schools. So, uh,

2164
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 25: glad to see that they're still doing their thing in

2165
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,800
Speaker 25: all the sports categories, but also good to see that

2166
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 25: you know, they'll they'll leave a bit, a little bit

2167
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 25: of my legacy to see around. So as my kids

2168
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 25: continue to grow, Uh, that would be something I can

2169
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 25: you know, rubbing rubbing their faces every once in a

2170
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,200
Speaker 25: while as there as they're growing up.

2171
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:14,800
Speaker 1: You're a linebacker now but you were a four year

2172
01:46:14,840 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in high school. Give me a comp what

2173
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: college or NFL quarterback were you most like.

2174
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 25: I was definitely most like Cam Newton. I was trying

2175
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 25: to emulate him and everything he did. And then started

2176
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:31,240
Speaker 25: to watch more college guys, started to watch Jalen Hurts,

2177
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,959
Speaker 25: just knowing that I was a bigger type of quarterback

2178
01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:36,720
Speaker 25: and knowing that those are bigger quarterbacks, knowing that they

2179
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 25: they can run, but also you know, not just being

2180
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:42,719
Speaker 25: the run of also being able to you know, be Leeds.

2181
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 24: In the past game.

2182
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:46,760
Speaker 25: So as I continued to grow in my high school career,

2183
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 25: would you know, put the run first mentality behind it

2184
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 25: and you know, pass first and then run second.

2185
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:55,960
Speaker 1: We're chatting with Demetrius Knight. Were you heavily recruited out

2186
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 1: of high school?

2187
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:58,639
Speaker 24: No, sir, not not very much.

2188
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 25: Uh to Tech was pretty much the only offer I

2189
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:05,640
Speaker 25: had going into my junior year and whatnot. And I

2190
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 25: would go to a camp where Paul Johnson was still

2191
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 25: the head coach at Georgia Tech and he's like, I

2192
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 25: don't I don't understand how you don't have more offers.

2193
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:16,160
Speaker 24: I'm going to give you a first one, and that

2194
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:17,640
Speaker 24: that pretty much sold it for us.

2195
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: So he made the offer, you chose Georgia Tech, and

2196
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 1: then he left before you got there. How difficult was

2197
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 1: that for you?

2198
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 25: It was pretty pretty difficult, just because I didn't know

2199
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 25: what I was going to get. I was already getting

2200
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 25: comfortable with the former coaching staff and him. Of course,

2201
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:36,479
Speaker 25: that's that's just line. That's a business decision that he

2202
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:39,559
Speaker 25: and his family had to make. And I didn't hate

2203
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:41,560
Speaker 25: him or anything for that. That's just just just the

2204
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 25: way life goes. So of course I still wanted to

2205
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:48,200
Speaker 25: be close to my mom and sister, uh not wanted

2206
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 25: to be too far away from them and the due

2207
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 25: places we were sharing. So I was like, of course,

2208
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 25: I don't know what the situation will be. I know

2209
01:47:55,320 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 25: there's there might be a possibility, and no, probably won't

2210
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:00,360
Speaker 25: be quarterback, just because I know it's a new group

2211
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 25: coming in, but I at least figured it's it'd still

2212
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 25: be something on the offense.

2213
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 16: Uh.

2214
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 24: That was the complete opposite of the spectrum. But uh

2215
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 24: and ended up working out for the best.

2216
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 1: What was your reaction when they said Demetrius, you're a linebacker?

2217
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 4: Uh?

2218
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:17,840
Speaker 24: Pretty much?

2219
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 5: Uh?

2220
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:19,639
Speaker 24: World went upside down.

2221
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 15: Uh.

2222
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 24: I didn't know what to think.

2223
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:24,680
Speaker 25: It was kind of unreal, and I just kind of

2224
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 25: went with it for a couple of weeks, thinking, oh,

2225
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 25: they're just they'll see I'm no good at this linebacker thing,

2226
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 25: and moved me back to the offense side of the

2227
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:36,599
Speaker 25: ball in that quarterback And uh now, how now, how

2228
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:38,639
Speaker 25: God hasn't played? God has it playing all the time.

2229
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,160
Speaker 25: Of course, you had to go through trials and tribulation

2230
01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:44,160
Speaker 25: and perseverance and you end up here in the in

2231
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 25: the NFL as a linebacker.

2232
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: While you were in college, you got married and became

2233
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:50,920
Speaker 1: a dad. What's your wife's name and how did.

2234
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 24: You two meet.

2235
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:55,880
Speaker 25: My wife's name is gen C gen C Knights. She

2236
01:48:56,160 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 25: is She's also from Luggas Grove and we met. We

2237
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 25: went on a mission trip together my junior year, her

2238
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 25: sophomore year. But the whole funny thing is, even though

2239
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 25: we spent a week out in Haiti doing the law's work,

2240
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 25: we did not say a word to each other the

2241
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 25: entire trip. I remember sitting at her table with her

2242
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:17,400
Speaker 25: and her friends and I didn't say a word. And

2243
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:21,719
Speaker 25: then COVID would happened and send send me home from campus,

2244
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:25,320
Speaker 25: and she's finishing up her senior year and you know,

2245
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:28,360
Speaker 25: two boy people at home that happened to remember each

2246
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 25: other and the rest of the history.

2247
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: After four years at Georgia Tech, you transferred to Charlotte

2248
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:38,080
Speaker 1: and had a breakout season, earning first team All Conference honors.

2249
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 1: How important was that season and getting you to where.

2250
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 24: You are now? Yeah, it was a lot.

2251
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 25: It was very good for me just because it showed

2252
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:49,680
Speaker 25: that I could play the lineback position. Of course, at

2253
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 25: Georgia Tech it was ups and downs, his and lows,

2254
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 25: and that made me the player who I was going

2255
01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,960
Speaker 25: into that situation not knowing who was going to be

2256
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 25: the coach because they're getting it. They ever getting a

2257
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 25: new coach, ended up getting coach Coach Posy, coach Biff

2258
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 25: and him coming in was was a great start, just

2259
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 25: because everybody got to start from ground zero. There were

2260
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 25: no politics involved. It was come in and you know,

2261
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 25: earn a spot, and that's that's all I wanted.

2262
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 24: I didn't.

2263
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 25: I wanted everybody to be on on ground zero and

2264
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 25: if someone out out, you know how it plays me

2265
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 25: for the spot, then they just outplayed me. But I

2266
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 25: wanted to have a fair shot and made sure that

2267
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:28,679
Speaker 25: I made every rep count there.

2268
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 1: After great season of Charlotte, you still had one year

2269
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:35,840
Speaker 1: of eligibility left. This is the ni l era. You

2270
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 1: had a wife and a baby at home. Did you

2271
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:40,559
Speaker 1: look for the best financial offer you could find?

2272
01:50:41,680 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 4: I did, Uh, of.

2273
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:45,000
Speaker 24: Course that was there.

2274
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 25: There were other schools that I was gonna take visits to,

2275
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 25: but you know, when you when you have a wife,

2276
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 25: it ends up being you know, happy wife, happy life.

2277
01:50:53,080 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 24: And we're already in North Carolina.

2278
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:58,519
Speaker 25: South Carolina was you know, an hour and some chains away,

2279
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,919
Speaker 25: and we've got to pack up a third floor apartment

2280
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:03,000
Speaker 25: and take it somewhere.

2281
01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:04,639
Speaker 24: And she's like, yeah, I don't.

2282
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 25: I don't plan on going anywhere far sou South Carolina

2283
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 25: might be as far as I'm willing to go, because

2284
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 25: that's not bad of a drive. But it's also close

2285
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 25: to family, so you know, you know, that's that's perfect

2286
01:51:16,479 --> 01:51:16,640
Speaker 25: to me.

2287
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,599
Speaker 24: Why not? So it ended up bringing out very well

2288
01:51:19,680 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 24: for us.

2289
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 1: We learned after the draft that you were a door

2290
01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 1: dash driver in college to bring in a few extra

2291
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:29,559
Speaker 1: bucks for your family even after games that you played

2292
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 1: in correct.

2293
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:34,240
Speaker 25: Absolutely, yeah, that's uh not what you hear every every day.

2294
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 25: That not pretty much heard of. I'm sure there are.

2295
01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:39,920
Speaker 25: There are probably players at other smaller schools that do

2296
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:42,640
Speaker 25: the same thing, but uh, being out of school like

2297
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:48,320
Speaker 25: Charlotte h there were opportunities where got to make them count.

2298
01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 25: And DoorDash delivered that opportunity to make account where you know,

2299
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 25: we didn't have to scrounge and I didn't have to

2300
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 25: go apply for different jobs at a Chick Flair or so,

2301
01:51:57,960 --> 01:52:01,080
Speaker 25: which I was definitely trying. I'm applying left and right

2302
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 25: to you know, deliver for Amazon. I couldn't get through.

2303
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:06,640
Speaker 4: With them, but.

2304
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 24: It ended up working out for the best.

2305
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:12,360
Speaker 25: DoorDash was it was quick and easy and you just

2306
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:15,719
Speaker 25: get on there and right away you start making deliveries.

2307
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:17,880
Speaker 25: And luckily for me where you know, you live on

2308
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 25: a college campus. You know college kids love to eat,

2309
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 25: so that makes makes it pretty quick and easy.

2310
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:24,560
Speaker 1: To bring in a quick But yeah, I've got a

2311
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: student in college and I see those door dash bills,

2312
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 1: so you're absolutely right about that. We're visiting the Demetrius Knight.

2313
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,599
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for an emotional call from a team

2314
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 1: to a player during the NFL Draft, and you got

2315
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:39,520
Speaker 1: choked up when the Bengals called you can you articulate

2316
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:41,759
Speaker 1: the emotions that you were feeling.

2317
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 25: Yeah, just just everything that my family and I had

2318
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,559
Speaker 25: been through, wife and I had been through and kids,

2319
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 25: just knowing where we were and how unsure we were

2320
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:58,920
Speaker 25: going from from Tech to Charlotte and it's like, okay,

2321
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:02,479
Speaker 25: well you don't really hear about people coming out of Charlotte,

2322
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:04,680
Speaker 25: nless you you know, you're Alex high Smith, who's you know,

2323
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,880
Speaker 25: doing his thing over in Pittsburgh and you know, I'm

2324
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 25: I can, I can make my mark here and ended

2325
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,920
Speaker 25: up doing that and uh, situations changed, and you know,

2326
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:16,880
Speaker 25: like when life gets going and it gets going, but uh,

2327
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:20,240
Speaker 25: that's when again you learn how to persevere, lean on

2328
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 25: the faith, lean on the Lord, lean on Jesus and.

Speaker 25: Those guys, they can get you up on your feet,

Speaker 25: of money doing it, So definitely those guys.

2342
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:03,439
Speaker 1: Have you checked out an FC Cincinnati match yet?

2343
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 24: We get them on TV, so we're on TV. We'll

2344
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:07,960
Speaker 24: always tune in.

2345
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 25: We haven't got to go to one yet just because

2346
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 25: of the busy schedule, but if we can get around

2347
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 25: to them, we definitely plan on being there.

2348
01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:17,080
Speaker 1: You shared with me that you hope to be a

2349
01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 1: movie producer someday. How long have you been interested in

2350
01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:22,559
Speaker 1: the making of movies.

2351
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 25: I've been interested in that since I was at Georgia Tech.

2352
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:29,439
Speaker 25: That's that kind of supports is why I got the

2353
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 25: degree that I got there. Just so once football is done,

2354
01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 25: you know, I won't be one of those guys just

2355
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 25: lingering around not knowing what I want to do. I

2356
01:54:37,200 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 25: know once football is done, that's that's exactly what I

2357
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 25: want to do, And no matter what that has to

2358
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,080
Speaker 25: start from, I have to put together movie sets first

2359
01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:47,760
Speaker 25: and work my way up to that road. I'll do

2360
01:54:47,880 --> 01:54:49,720
Speaker 25: it just because I believe all that's fun, it all

2361
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 25: works together, just like football. All works together all guys

2362
01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 25: doing there, they're one eleven. It's the same thing with

2363
01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 25: movie producing, to make you know, a masterpiece essentially.

2364
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:01,360
Speaker 1: All right, final fun fact for Demetrious Night, And this

2365
01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 1: one's kind of deep. If you could meet anybody in history,

2366
01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 1: living or deceased, who would that person be?

2367
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:13,480
Speaker 25: Pro I had to be Jesus himself. Uh, I'd love

2368
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 25: to be a fly on the wall just to hear

2369
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 25: him speak, and you know, just to be in the

2370
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 25: room and be in the areas washing them do what

2371
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 25: he does, you know, washing them do the the miracles

2372
01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:27,120
Speaker 25: that only he can do.

2373
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:29,360
Speaker 24: That that would that would have to be number one.

2374
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 25: And then if I, if I had you, number two

2375
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:34,080
Speaker 25: had to be Noah when you know he told told

2376
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 25: them to build the arc because I can't imagine He's

2377
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 25: all right, I'll build a big old boat. And you know,

2378
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:42,320
Speaker 25: just to ask me about how did he persevere, you know,

2379
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 25: making making a big old boat, going through adversity, being

2380
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,520
Speaker 25: laughed at by people around saying, oh, it's never gonna

2381
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:50,120
Speaker 25: rain in it until it happens.

2382
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 24: So uh, they definitely have to be Jesus and then

2383
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:54,280
Speaker 24: good old Noah.

2384
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:57,680
Speaker 1: Excellent answers. I appreciate your time, best of luck the

2385
01:55:57,720 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 1: rest of the year.

2386
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 24: Yes, I appreciate you, all right.

2387
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 3: That was a Demetrius night with our Dan who will

2388
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:05,840
Speaker 3: take a break and come back and get into the

2389
01:56:05,920 --> 01:56:08,560
Speaker 3: meat of the Keys to the Game. Coming up Sunday,

2390
01:56:08,880 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 3: it is the Bengals pep Rally Show, broadcasting live from

2391
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:13,840
Speaker 3: on the Rhine Eatery, presented by Bear Kicking on the

2392
01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:21,920
Speaker 3: Bengals Radio Network. Welcome back to the Bengals pep Rally Show,

2393
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 3: broadcasting live from ot R on the Rhine. I love

2394
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 3: this place, one hundred these Court Street and Wayne box

2395
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:33,960
Speaker 3: Miller with Ring of Honor inductee Dave Lapham Lap Let's

2396
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:35,920
Speaker 3: dive into it in these last few minutes we got.

2397
01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:38,720
Speaker 3: If we look at your keys to the Game, I

2398
01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 3: would say number one. I'm just gonna take a guess

2399
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 3: ball security. When you got a ball hawking team like this.

2400
01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, how you write Box, I mean they're plus ten

2401
01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:50,120
Speaker 4: in the turnover margin, the turnover ratio. So when you

2402
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 4: have a team that can take the ball away like

2403
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:57,040
Speaker 4: like this Chicago Bear team can do you know you

2404
01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:01,200
Speaker 4: got to you gotta ball security is probably the biggest

2405
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:03,800
Speaker 4: key to the game, and I think it is I

2406
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:07,080
Speaker 4: think it is on a weekly basis, high school football,

2407
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:10,760
Speaker 4: National Football League, even pee wee football. I mean, it's

2408
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,160
Speaker 4: like if you turn the football over and give your

2409
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:17,360
Speaker 4: opponent extra possessions, you know they're going to take advantage.

2410
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 4: I mean, in eight games, they've got ten more possessions.

2411
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:23,920
Speaker 4: That's better than one game. Yeah, where you know, And

2412
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 4: the Bengals don't want to be in that category. They

2413
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 4: don't want to be a team that's given the Chicago Bears,

2414
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:31,600
Speaker 4: you know, extra possessions to do something to them. So

2415
01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest key. I also think third

2416
01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 4: down is going to be a factor in this football game.

2417
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:42,640
Speaker 4: And I think who runs the football. Chicago is all

2418
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:46,880
Speaker 4: about historically running the football well, Walter Payton, you know.

2419
01:57:46,960 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 4: I mean, they've had a lot of great running backs

2420
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 4: and a lot of great offensive linemen, a lot of

2421
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 4: great offensive lines. They want to control the game by

2422
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,200
Speaker 4: running the football, do a little play action pass off

2423
01:57:56,240 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 4: of that. They have a quarterback that's got a big,

2424
01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:00,840
Speaker 4: powerful throwing arm. I think want to you know, stretch

2425
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:05,200
Speaker 4: the field when available, catch you in uh coverages that

2426
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:08,760
Speaker 4: are not favorable for the defense, and and take advantage

2427
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 4: of that. So I think I think those are those

2428
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:13,800
Speaker 4: are two big things. And then also on the on

2429
01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:15,960
Speaker 4: the flip side of it, stop the run. You know,

2430
01:58:16,040 --> 01:58:20,160
Speaker 4: the Bengals defense has to stop the run for for

2431
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,720
Speaker 4: you know, the Chicago Bears to struggle hawk hopefully a

2432
01:58:23,800 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 4: little bit offensively, and then the Bengals need to run

2433
01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 4: the football. They started to run the football a little

2434
01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:31,680
Speaker 4: bit better since Joe Flacco has been the starting quarterback.

2435
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 4: And he'll be the first to tell you, but that's

2436
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 4: that's the key that unlocks everything. You know, if you

2437
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:40,680
Speaker 4: can get that running game going, and then Joe Flacco

2438
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:43,480
Speaker 4: can play action pass off of that, uh, then you're

2439
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 4: in high cotton and you get somethings believable.

2440
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 3: I'll tell you some j P run man, I think

2441
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:49,760
Speaker 3: you had so much to that running game. And you know,

2442
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 3: people forget he was a prolific running back in Oklahoma

2443
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:54,320
Speaker 3: when Joe Mixon was there. He was ahead of Joe

2444
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 3: Mixon on the depth chart a few times when they're

2445
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 3: out there. The other thing, for me, I think, uh,

2446
01:58:59,640 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 3: this to me from the Bengals standpoint, it's going to

2447
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:06,200
Speaker 3: be one about mentality. After what happened last week, you

2448
01:59:06,320 --> 01:59:08,840
Speaker 3: come out this week, you can't afford to get to

2449
01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:11,600
Speaker 3: a place where you go woe is me or damn,

2450
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:14,160
Speaker 3: you know this is not looking good and you start

2451
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 3: thinking about last week. So mentally strong, get your rest,

2452
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:20,360
Speaker 3: you know, be focused, come out there. Understand if there's

2453
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:22,840
Speaker 3: a hiccup here and there, it don't matter. Long game, yep,

2454
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:25,360
Speaker 3: we got to play sixty minutes of football and if

2455
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 3: there's something that doesn't go our way early, shake it

2456
01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:28,640
Speaker 3: off and keep going.

2457
01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:31,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Box. I think that's a it's a wide statement,

2458
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:33,120
Speaker 4: you know the game. I mean, I think I think

2459
01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:35,200
Speaker 4: they need to put last week's game in a box,

2460
01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:38,120
Speaker 4: you know, close it up, put a ribbon on it,

2461
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 4: and put it in the closet and forget about it.

2462
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and move on.

2463
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:43,200
Speaker 4: That's that's gonna be. That's gonna be the biggest key.

2464
01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 4: Coaches were talking about it. Zach Taylor was talking about it,

2465
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:51,840
Speaker 4: Joe Flacco. It seems to be a pervasive mindset throughout

2466
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:53,040
Speaker 4: the whole football team.

2467
01:59:53,080 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 3: No question about it. We'll take our last break and

2468
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:57,080
Speaker 3: come back and wrap up. You're listening to the Bengals

02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:27,280
Speaker 3: to Tom Thayer and Aaron McKee just helping us out

2478
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:30,520
Speaker 3: with this show. Daz, I look at this game, and

2479
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:33,560
Speaker 3: I think special teams set the tone.

2480
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:33,880
Speaker 4: Yep.

2481
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:36,880
Speaker 3: If they kick the ball to us, make a big play,

2482
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:39,520
Speaker 3: if we kick it at them, knock somebody on there,

2483
02:00:39,600 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 3: but make a statement right out of the gate that hey,

2484
02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:46,000
Speaker 3: we have some unfinished business this week and we want

2485
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 3: to go into this bye week with a win.

2486
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:51,160
Speaker 4: And Darren Simmons is here here a box, He's all

2487
02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:56,120
Speaker 4: for it. He he's been talking about the importance of

2488
02:00:56,200 --> 02:01:00,600
Speaker 4: special teams obviously as offense and defensive had their problems,

2489
02:01:00,640 --> 02:01:02,840
Speaker 4: had their struggles, you know, he wanted to be the

2490
02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:06,880
Speaker 4: stabilizing force of stabilizing influence in the in the three

2491
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 4: phases offense, defense, and special teams. Special teams we talked

2492
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:13,120
Speaker 4: about earlier in the Keys of the game. You know,

2493
02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:16,400
Speaker 4: they'll help dictate field position. The Bengals want to dominate

2494
02:01:16,480 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 4: field position against the Chicago Bears and just own that

2495
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:23,880
Speaker 4: real estate man and uh and and make them score

2496
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:28,560
Speaker 4: them a little bit, you know. Long field, short field,

2497
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:30,680
Speaker 4: that's what it's all about. I think in this football game,

2498
02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:33,680
Speaker 4: I think it's two things. Turnovers and they contribute and

2499
02:01:34,080 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 4: help longfield short field. Bengals have multiple short fields where

2500
02:01:38,480 --> 02:01:40,720
Speaker 4: they are in the red zone, a low red zone

2501
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:44,280
Speaker 4: and scoring points frequently and easily. And the Chicago Bears

2502
02:01:44,320 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 4: are backed up and have to go long field and

2503
02:01:46,520 --> 02:01:47,840
Speaker 4: struggle to score. Yeah.

2504
02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:53,160
Speaker 3: I think this game could gun down to grasshopper and mensa.

2505
02:01:53,720 --> 02:01:56,560
Speaker 3: I think that Caleb Williams, you know, he as every

2506
02:01:56,640 --> 02:01:58,760
Speaker 3: now and they're still learning this offense. You heard it

2507
02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:00,720
Speaker 3: out there say they don't run this. I ain't played twice.

2508
02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:01,440
Speaker 4: I mean they're calling.

2509
02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:03,640
Speaker 3: He could have some struggles there and it could be

2510
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 3: opportunistic for the Bengal Bengals defense. On the other hand,

2511
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:10,880
Speaker 3: because Joe Flacco is a veteran. Hey, I'm only going

2512
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:12,400
Speaker 3: to take what you give me. I'm not going to

2513
02:02:12,440 --> 02:02:14,720
Speaker 3: try to force something to Chase force to the Higgins.

2514
02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 3: If Yoci Vosh or if Tanner Hudson, or if Chris

2515
02:02:19,800 --> 02:02:21,840
Speaker 3: Chase Brown is doing a wheel route, whatever is there,

2516
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:24,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to take it in that minsa of just

2517
02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:27,160
Speaker 3: I know football. It very well could come down to

2518
02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 3: that for me. And that's what I'm going to be

2519
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 3: looking for potentially, is if Caleb Williams makes a mistake,

2520
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 3: can the Bengal defense make him pay for it?

2521
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:37,600
Speaker 4: That's going to be a big key, maybe the biggest.

2522
02:02:38,160 --> 02:02:41,160
Speaker 4: And you know, I like the fact that the Bengals

2523
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 4: have the quarterback that's got the experience, he's got fifteen

2524
02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:48,040
Speaker 4: years in the NFL. I mean, that's that's that's a big,

2525
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 4: big deal. And the Chicago Bears have a quarterback that's

2526
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 4: in his second year and still learning what it takes

2527
02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 4: to be an efficient, effective quarterback in the National Football League.

2528
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:01,320
Speaker 4: That alone, in my mind, is a big enough advantage

2529
02:03:01,360 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 4: for the Cincinnati Bengals to pull this one out at home.

2530
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And as much as we talk about the running game,

2531
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:09,080
Speaker 3: Chase Brown and smajp Run have been running the ball,

2532
02:03:09,280 --> 02:03:11,560
Speaker 3: this offensive line has been blocking, and the Bears have

2533
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:14,600
Speaker 3: been given up five yards per carry on the ground.

2534
02:03:15,120 --> 02:03:18,640
Speaker 3: This could be a game where again, if keep the ball,

2535
02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 3: keep them on the sideline, eat up the clock, get

2536
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:24,800
Speaker 3: a lead, and just build on that lead and make

2537
02:03:24,880 --> 02:03:27,240
Speaker 3: them have to play from behind, which means Caleb Williams

2538
02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:29,160
Speaker 3: may have to throw more than he wants to or

2539
02:03:29,280 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 3: the coach may have to throw more. And that's when

2540
02:03:31,640 --> 02:03:33,760
Speaker 3: you put yourself in a position to potentially come up

2541
02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:34,800
Speaker 3: with a couple of big plays.

2542
02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:35,400
Speaker 24: Absolutely.

2543
02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:38,640
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the Abcson football. You know, we're talking about.

2544
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:42,040
Speaker 4: You know, the things you learn about the game of

2545
02:03:42,080 --> 02:03:44,400
Speaker 4: football in order to win games at a very young

2546
02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:49,440
Speaker 4: age Peewee football, high school collegiate football, National Football League.

2547
02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 4: It's not rocket science now we're talking about. Here are

2548
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:57,640
Speaker 4: the things, the staples that winning teams accomplish on a

2549
02:03:57,720 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 4: week two week basis and win more football games and

2550
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:04,360
Speaker 4: they lose. And you know, if you do this, you're

2551
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 4: going to win your share of football games as well.

2552
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 3: And the last thing I'll say is penalties. Yeah, but

2553
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:13,000
Speaker 3: the Bengals have done better than their opponent's penalty wise,

2554
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 3: They've had less penalties than their opponents. Sometime they come

2555
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:17,760
Speaker 3: at the wrong time. But if the Bengals can keep

2556
02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:21,560
Speaker 3: the penalties to a minimum again, and they've last three games,

2557
02:04:21,560 --> 02:04:25,240
Speaker 3: they've had less penalties than their opponents. Keep playing smart,

2558
02:04:25,360 --> 02:04:28,200
Speaker 3: sound football. Don't beat yourself, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

2559
02:04:28,320 --> 02:04:32,600
Speaker 4: And I think that's that's the mantra for this week's

2560
02:04:32,680 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 4: game against Chicago Bears. No self destruction, take care of

2561
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 4: the football, do not shoot yourself in the foot. You know,

2562
02:04:42,200 --> 02:04:46,760
Speaker 4: make sure that the Chicago Bears beat you. Make them

2563
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:50,320
Speaker 4: beat you. Don't contribute to their cause. Don't make it

2564
02:04:50,400 --> 02:04:53,160
Speaker 4: easier for the Chicago Bears to beat you by giving

2565
02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:56,360
Speaker 4: them extra possessions, better field position, all the things we

2566
02:04:56,480 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 4: talked about. Take care of the ABC's and hopefully the

2567
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 4: Bengals will have a victory.

2568
02:05:01,640 --> 02:05:03,480
