With another 61 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 6: home game coming up, chance to get healthy this next 62 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 6: couple of days. Really really just proud of the guys 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 6: in the effort and happy to get a win. Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding, Yeah, Joe, 64 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 6: I mean it was outstanding. Really, I mean, we're we're 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 6: I mean we how many drive we scored on what 66 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 6: like six of the last seven drives, maybe seven and 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 6: the last eight seven of eight, okay, so and really 68 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 6: early on we had some some drops and some quirky 69 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 6: stuff happened that prevented a score there. So I just 70 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 6: thought his performance outstanding, very very calm, collected, uh let 71 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 6: us in a two minute drive to go win the 72 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 6: game with a huge go ball to t get there's 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 6: guys a chance to go make some plays. And impressed 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 6: this performance. I thought our offensive line played outstanding. I 75 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 6: mean that defensive line has been wreaking havoc the last 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 6: couple of weeks and all the film we've watched, all 77 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 6: these other teams and all the lion gave him a 78 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 6: great shot. Our tight ends did an unbelievable job in 79 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 6: the run game as well, and everybody stepped out for C. 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 6: Margs after the catch. So just just collectively on offense 81 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 6: it was great. And the defense getting at h. 82 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: So to be too. And over the division right now. 83 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 7: What stood out to you about Joe's didn't see them all. 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 6: There was very few issues there, you know, in terms 85 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 6: of throwing the ball. He was accurate, decisive and all 86 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 6: the things I said about the protection held up, the 87 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 6: guys doing their job and the routes. So again it 88 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 6: was just really efficient performance and and keep building on it. 89 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 2: What is camp Till with Brittany to do to kind 90 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: of get himself. 91 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 6: Back into just be consistent, you know, consistency week to week, 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 6: day to day. It's the biggest thing. 93 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 8: For him. 94 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 6: So of course talented, high energy wants to do right. 95 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 6: Just keep working at it. 96 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 9: You obviously the route margin because of injury whatever else, 97 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 9: you found the right room. 98 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 6: I think as of right now, we'll we'll just keep 99 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 6: working through it. But a lot of guys we know 100 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 6: we can rely on. That's that's critical. Young guys that 101 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 6: are sending veteran guys who we can depend on, and 102 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 6: that's that's really good to have. 103 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: Zach. Do you do you feel like it's positive for 104 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson. Is the long break here before the next game. 105 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, he was pushing to play yesterday, so I can't 106 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 6: speak on that today, but I'd have to feel, you know, 107 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 6: at least reasonably optimistic given that he was he was 108 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 6: pushing to play yesterday. 109 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 10: Black was talking about how like some of the plays, 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 10: not the plays, but like simple like you know, thirdly 111 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 10: octed your market. 112 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: Look the ball to tea. 113 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 10: How much do you see kind of the playmakers shine 114 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 10: as as flackho kind of taste what's there? 115 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's really always what we've hat on. It's, 116 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 6: you know, just trying to find ways to get those 117 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 6: guys at the ball. I think of Jamar's fifteen catches 118 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 6: against Arizona was very similar. You know a lot of 119 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 6: those were quick hitters, just trying to get the ball 120 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 6: in his hands because you were getting some access there. 121 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 6: And so yesterday was definitely a great example of that. 122 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 6: I haven't talied them up yet, but there was. There 123 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 6: was probably five to seven throws in the run game 124 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 6: that we took. And anytime you're getting that, that's not 125 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 6: a protection call for the lineman. They're blocking and run, 126 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 6: so they get to come off. And usually you're throwing 127 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 6: it because it's the best look you can get, so 128 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 6: you should be getting a completion, and oftentimes when you're 129 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 6: compleating it, you're getting Jamorrow one on one, which sooner 130 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 6: or later that thing's going to break for a sixty 131 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 6: yard game instead of sometimes a seven or eight yard game. 132 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 6: So it's just a really really effective way to live 133 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 6: and we'll try to continue to build off that we've 134 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 6: always had it. 135 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: We'll continue to build off of it as we go. 136 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 10: And then maybe the biggest s trinkle of all time 137 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 10: here was have beleave three straight dropbacks out of under center. 138 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, was that something that Flack alked well. 139 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: Pitch had that recommendation. Pitch had seen some stuff. 140 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 6: Going back against Pittsburgh previously that he thought would fit 141 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 6: well on the plan, And so initially we had like 142 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 6: an eight play package and then middled it down to three. 143 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: We added another one. We had four total that we carried. 144 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: They were good. 145 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 6: It's it's some of them we had to check out of, 146 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 6: you know, and sometimes that's gonna happen. But it was 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 6: effective for us. The way that they tried to combat 148 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 6: some of that stuff. We thought it would be effective 149 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 6: for us. And whether we continue to build out or 150 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 6: not and may be seen depending on our future opponents. 151 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 12: Did the tape show you up the Barrett and Demetrios. 152 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, there's positives and there's thing to continue to learn from. 153 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 6: And it's you know, I'm thinking, I don't know how 154 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 6: many games Aaron Rodgers has played in, but as I'm 155 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 6: watching the tape, it's you know, he's probably in the 156 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 6: two thirties to two fifties in terms of amount of 157 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 6: games he's played in his life. And I'm looking at 158 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 6: two linebackers and Shamar playing in his real third game, 159 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 6: second and half game. Almost they're playing games you know, six, five, three, And. 160 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: Some of the things that that Rogers does really stress you. 161 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 6: He tries to get you in a look and then 162 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 6: he'd likes to check the play, and he's in the huddle, 163 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 6: he's in tempo, and so it causes a lot of stress. 164 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 6: And so there's a lot for these guys to learn from. 165 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 6: They're going to continue to ascend and learn as they 166 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 6: accumulate reps and they get to game seven and eight 167 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 6: and nine. Someday they'll get to two fifty. Hopefully that'd 168 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 6: be amazing. Uh, But it's just it's it's we're getting 169 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 6: gain a lot from them getting this experience, and they're 170 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 6: going to continue to get better every week. And I'm 171 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 6: really pleased with the way that they approach everything, and 172 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 6: they're just going to keep learning and keep getting better. 173 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 2: Talk a lot about Mary to Run in the past, 174 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: and it starts working last night. Yeah, the obvious one 175 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: would be if you get a passion out to know. 176 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: But what are some of them, maybe the more nuanced 177 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: ways he saw. 178 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 9: The last night impact. 179 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 6: Well, we were trying to do best to get some 180 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 6: variety there. Run the ball in some second tens against them, 181 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 6: which they they oftentimes have the upper hand there. So 182 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 6: we were trying to take that back little bit. And 183 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 6: so they're not always sexy ten yard runs, but sometimes 184 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 6: they're four and five yard runs that keep you out 185 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 6: of a third and ten and so that to me 186 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 6: was as important as Chase is explosive down the you know, 187 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 6: the middle to the right sideline and the left one 188 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 6: that he you know, toe tapped the sidelines. Those to 189 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 6: me were as effective. It was a second ten run 190 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 6: that got us to third and five or second and 191 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 6: eight run that got us a first down. Those were 192 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 6: the ones that to me as a play caller, really 193 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 6: allowed us to effectively operate on offense. 194 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 13: What do you think in the last couple of weeks 195 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 13: here has been that has changed in the running? Is 196 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 13: there is there something that you see and you notice 197 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 13: that that looks different? 198 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 6: Now, yeah, I mean it's it's I hate saying this, 199 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 6: but because you're looking at it in the first couple 200 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 6: of weeks and it's like we're just right there and 201 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 6: there's just this one element on this play, and then 202 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 6: the next place it's this other thing. 203 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: And so. 204 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 6: Once once that starts to click early in a game 205 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,719 Speaker 6: and you feel rhythm, the confidence rises, and again as 206 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 6: important when you're completing football, sometimes we're just completing balls 207 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 6: to second four. Now you can call another run and 208 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 6: keep leaning on it. So you've heard me saying here 209 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 6: a million times. Just getting a first down allows us 210 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 6: to play more freely. 211 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: We got a lot of. 212 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 6: First downs last night, so you get a chance to 213 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 6: let everything work more and keep even if you get 214 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 6: a zero yard run or one yard run, you can 215 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 6: still come back to it because you've got a good 216 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 6: amount of plays in those drives and the offense has 217 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 6: a lot of confidence. So it just allowed us to 218 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 6: continue to lean into it. And you know, I hate 219 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 6: to say it took off. We only ran it, you know, 220 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 6: fifteen times or so, but it was effective for us, 221 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 6: and it kept us on schedule and allowed us to 222 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 6: do all the other things we want to do from 223 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 6: an attacking standpoint. 224 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 10: After getting black or ready to play two games in 225 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 10: ten days and I get a chance to breathe kind 226 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 10: of what's next in this process of and it's just 227 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 10: been a crash force. 228 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: But now maybe you get. 229 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 14: To do a little more. 230 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, And again it's it's all coming to him. 231 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 6: It's all making a lot of sense to him. What 232 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 6: you find in this game. It's not even the complexity 233 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 6: of the play call. It's just a word that sounds 234 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 6: unfamiliar when you're looking at the call sheet. It made 235 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 6: sense and then I'm saying it and it's not registering 236 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 6: what word I'm saying. So that was there was a 237 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 6: couple of repeats in there yesterday that we were trying 238 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 6: to make work and it wasn't It wasn't a complex 239 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 6: play call. It's just the phrasing of how it is. 240 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 2: And so. 241 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 6: I was just I'm impressed of how he does handle 242 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 6: all these long play calls we have, because on third 243 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 6: down or got two play calls in red zone. It 244 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 6: was a lot too, and he did a great job 245 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 6: taking it all in. So now with a full week, 246 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 6: a full normal week here coming up with an extra 247 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 6: day on Monday as well, I think it'll be it'll 248 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 6: be really helpful and it'll really slow down and and uh, 249 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 6: we can hone in on on what he continues to 250 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 6: do best and keep featuring that. 251 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 4: I know he was talking. 252 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 7: About that sometimes when it broke the huddle that are 253 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 7: kind of shaking her head because there's I don't know 254 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 7: if this is was there. 255 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: Was there any one of those plays, said what's going on? Yeah, yep, yeah, 256 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 2: there is one stick out. Uh, well, the zone read 257 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: number one. I was trying to call time out. 258 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 6: Because we definitely were not lined up correctly and an 259 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 6: integral part of the play was not about to occur. 260 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 6: And next thing you know, we got a first time. 261 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 6: So I'm just gonna shut up and just keep my 262 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 6: keep keep standing over there on sidelines. But uh, that 263 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 6: was one that stood out. Uh, there's a couple of 264 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 6: quirky formations, and again it's just it's all the phrasing, 265 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 6: and it's part of me is I'm so used to 266 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 6: talking to two guys that have been here for so long, 267 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 6: and so I could say it quickly because they've heard 268 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 6: it a million times, and so he's hearing some of 269 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 6: these pairings for the first time with us, and it's 270 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 6: it's just it's anybody in this room. You can teach 271 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 6: it to them, and you need to hear it a 272 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 6: couple of times, especially in a moment like that, for Okay, 273 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 6: this is what he's trying to say to man. But 274 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 6: we worked through it and good and it's to forty 275 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 6: year olds just communicating as best we can with each other. 276 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 6: And so again it's it, made it work, made it exciting, 277 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 6: and and we'll just continue to grow from there. 278 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 5: As I were patient with him through all of that. 279 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: And you only have so many time. 280 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: Outs you've been burned. Yeah, part for you that when you. 281 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 9: See it lined up wrong to go hard, let's just 282 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 9: see what happens. 283 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 6: It is it is and and you're you're trying to 284 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 6: measure in the moment, what the the is the health 285 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 6: critical is the time out? And so again it's one 286 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 6: of those. One of those was the fourth and one 287 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 6: I called the time out on I wasn't sure we 288 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 6: were going to operate the way that we were going 289 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 6: to need to operate. And so of course, how it 290 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 6: always works out, you're being a time out one second 291 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 6: lefter we get the first down and then and then you're. 292 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: Like, go great. 293 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 6: So it's just that's just part of it, part of 294 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 6: working through it. I'm happy to do it. You know 295 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 6: when he's playing the way he is. I'm happy to 296 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 6: to make any adjustments I need to, And he's saying 297 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 6: he's patient with me. I'm feeling I'm being pattern with him. 298 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 6: I feel like he's being patient with me too, you know, 299 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 6: as I'm sometimes hurried in the in the play call, 300 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 6: trying to get it in and he just needs me 301 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 6: to relax a little bit. So that's two way street there, all. 302 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: Right, that's uh Zach Taylor and we'll take a break 303 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 3: and come back and break that down.

I'm glad 322 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: to have you board presented by Bear Chicken, and I'm 323 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: telling you what it is a great day in Cincinnati. 324 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 3: We're on the Bengals Radio Network. We're on top of things. Uh, 325 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: we're knocking off the top of the conference. I mean 326 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: the division last night and and lapped such a big 327 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: win because you talked about it. You now all of 328 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: a sudden take them and say, hey, you had this distance, 329 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 3: but the gap is closed and they got a tough 330 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: road ahead. 331 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 5: They do they do and uh, and to beat them 332 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 5: head up in the division game is big. It's it's 333 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 5: a it's a massive scenario. They're gonna play them twice. Obviously, 334 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 5: they got the Steelers coming up pretty quickly in less 335 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 5: than a month's time in Pittsburgh. So that'll be a battle, 336 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 5: Royal Man, that'll be a bloodbath. That'll be out for 337 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 5: some serious revenge there. But I thought two of the 338 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 5: biggest reasons the Bengals won the football game turnovers. They 339 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 5: turned Pittsburgh over, and they took care of the football 340 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 5: Bengals had none. 341 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 4: You asked Zach three keys to the game? 342 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he said turnovers, field position, and give the 343 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: offense a couple of short fields. 344 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. That and and then down we talked about a 345 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 5: little bit as well. So, uh, I mean, they they 346 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 5: basically everything they wanted to try to do to make 347 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 5: sure that that they had to do to win the 348 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 5: football game. They they achieved. They got they got done, 349 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 5: they accomplished it. I mean, uh, that's that's not easy 350 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 5: to do in any NFL game against any NFL opponent, 351 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: never mind an opponent like the Pittsburgh Steelers, because you know, 352 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 5: Mike tomlin Man, I mean, he puts a high high 353 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: priority on ball security, and Arthur Smith does as well, 354 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 5: their offensive coordinator. I mean, they do not give the 355 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 5: football away that they're you know, it's it's it's foreign 356 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 5: to them, you know, they they're allergic to it. They 357 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 5: just they don't let it happen. 358 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: Was that, Well, let me ask you that the first 359 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: interception of Jordan Battle guy. Yeah, was that merely just uh, 360 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and the guys just not knowing each other 361 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 3: well enough to understand that Aaron was going to air 362 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: it out and you need to just kind of, you know, 363 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: track that ball right and go get it, because it 364 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: looked like Aaron was just like, oh, I'm going to 365 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: make it a fifty to fifty ball and just throw 366 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 3: it up and you know, credit Jordan Battle for reading 367 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 3: what was going on. 368 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's that's uncharacteristic. Aaron Rodgers, he usually doesn't 369 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 5: put the ball even in that kind of jeopardy, you know, 370 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 5: fifty to fifty. I mean he likes to He likes 371 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 5: to be able to see it and his mind almost 372 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 5: see it finish in a completion. You know. Jordan Battle, though, 373 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 5: made a great play on that football, there's no question. 374 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 5: And that's what you have to do. I mean, you 375 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 5: have to raise your level of play. You have to 376 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 5: you know, make special plays to win against a football team, 377 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 5: you know, like the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their organization historically, it's 378 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 5: a winning program. I mean they win a hell of 379 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 5: a lot more football games than they lose. So you know, 380 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 5: you can't take anything for granted. You have to play 381 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 5: every snap to its fullest. You can't self destruct. So 382 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 5: that's where turnovers came in again. You know, they to 383 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 5: have no take no giveaways. They ended up getting a 384 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 5: couple of interceptions off of Aaron Rodgers, but no giveaways 385 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 5: against that football team in such an important football game. 386 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 5: And like you said box earlier, to start the segment, 387 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 5: close the gap, you know, I mean, now they're two 388 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 5: and on the division, right Pittsburgh has a loss. You know, 389 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 5: right now, the Bengals have the best division record in 390 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 5: the AFC North. There's a lot of season to play, 391 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 5: but not a bad spot. 392 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: To be on. 393 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're a third of the way through, so 394 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: while we do have a lot left, a third of 395 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: the way in, so all of a sudden, the third 396 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: of the way becomes halfway and then halfway, Yeah, halfway 397 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 3: becomes two thirds in and then you know, we were 398 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 3: talking last year as the Bengals were trying to rally 399 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 3: to get in the playoffs, the thing we looked at 400 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 3: that was an iesore for them was the division record. Yep, 401 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 3: they did not do well in the division on the 402 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 3: front end. And so right now to be two and 403 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 3: on the division. As you start to get this thing 404 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 3: back on track, is a perfect place to be as 405 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: you get in a rhythm, because after last night, I 406 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 3: think it started in the second half of the Green 407 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 3: Bay Packer game. What we saw from Joe Flacco and 408 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and T Higgins collectively, Yeah, we saw something 409 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: and it looked like it was brewing like a. 410 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 4: Cup of coffee. 411 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 3: I mean it just started. The coffee just started dripping, right. 412 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 3: You knew by the time we get home the pot 413 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: was going to. 414 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 5: Before Yeah, it was percolating, man. Yeah, and uh yeah, 415 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 5: I think that what you do as a professional. You 416 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 5: try to when you finish a football game and an 417 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 5: uptick on a high note like they did the week before, 418 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 5: you try to carry it over. And they did. They 419 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 5: played a very high level on a high high percentage 420 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 5: of the snaps against a team that many consider to 421 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 5: be a Super Bowl contender. I don't think they're a 422 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 5: Super Bowl championship type football team. I'm not even sure 423 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 5: they're a super Bowl team. But I do think they're 424 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 5: a playoff team. I mean, Mike Tomlins made the playoffs 425 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 5: many many years, and a couple of decks gates worth, 426 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 5: So he knows what it takes. He knows what the 427 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 5: formula is supposed to supposed to be and what it's 428 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 5: supposed to look like. So for the Bengals to have 429 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 5: that better division record right now than the Pittsburgh Steelers 430 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 5: means something. 431 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 3: It really does, absolutely means something.

They 453 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 5: hit a home run, a grand slam. Really, watching Joe 454 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 5: Flacco throw the football, he still it's just a flick 455 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 5: of the wrist, man. I mean, he gets so much 456 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 5: velocity in so many RPMs on the football with such 457 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 5: little physical stress put on the body. I mean, he 458 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 5: is a beautiful thrower of the football. It's rare he'll throw. 459 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 5: He threw that football at the end seventy yards and 460 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 5: really no wind up. I mean he just kind of 461 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 5: took it back and let it fly. 462 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: Man. He is. 463 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 5: He has got a powerful throwing arm. He's got a 464 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 5: howartzer hanging off that right shoulder. 465 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 4: Man. 466 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 5: I mean, he definitely he can can in the football 467 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 5: anywhere on the football field, to any quadrant of the 468 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 5: football field. And the big thing that separates him in 469 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 5: my mind, most power throwers may kind of scatter the 470 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 5: ball around a little bit. He is like pinpoint. He 471 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 5: is spot on I mean, he'll hit the right shoulder, 472 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 5: he'll hit the left hip, he'll hit the you know, 473 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 5: the the left knee, hit the right knee. He puts 474 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: the ball everywhere and anywhere that needs to be put 475 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 5: to make a play down the football field. He has 476 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: got a special special talent in that that appendage hanging 477 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 5: off that shoulder. 478 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the press conference from yesterday 479 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: where Joe Flacco talked to the media. 480 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 15: Man, it's a lot of fun, I'm you know, and 481 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 15: I mean, obviously it's a lot of fun towards the 482 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 15: end of the game when when you're getting ready to go. 483 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 15: But yeah, this is what we do it for, is 484 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 15: is games like that.

And 532 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 15: then today what I got to see was just how 533 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 15: a defense has to treat those guys and if you 534 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 15: don't treat them a certain way, they can hurt you. 535 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 15: And if you do treat them a certain way, well 536 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 15: maybe we have some other guys that can. 537 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: Get the job done. 538 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 15: So you today, I think I got to see just 539 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 15: the problems they create in general. Last week I said 540 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 15: it earlier this week. Last week we didn't do anything crazy, 541 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 15: but you could see those guys are different and it's 542 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 15: pretty cool to be got a throw I mean to 543 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 15: you tell me, I don't think so. 544 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 545 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 15: Well, we threw the ball forty seven times or probably 546 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 15: dropped back a couple more, and I mean I think 547 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 15: he ended up. I mean, look, at the end of 548 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 15: the first half, we just outrought out right, you know, 549 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 15: like it was. I don't think it was anything crazy, 550 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 15: pretty simple stuff underneath, getting them one on one until 551 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 15: we drew it up and it worked out. 552 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 2: Did you. 553 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 8: Like that? 554 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 15: Yeah, well that really was kind of more of a 555 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 15: broken play. We just didn't line upright and it wasn't 556 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 15: really a true read option. 557 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: But I did. I did. 558 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 15: I've done a few of those early, probably my first 559 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 15: three years. I did a few of those, like in 560 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 15: certain situations. But it's been a while and it kind 561 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 15: of just happened. It just happened. So I was like, 562 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 15: all right, now, how can I find somewhere to get 563 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 15: down and you know, not get taken out by one 564 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 15: of these guys a little bit? 565 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, kind of like your first question, that's right in 566 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 7: your nine or ten days here, when did you realize 567 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 7: that you could have this successful of an offensive game 568 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 7: like this quickly? 569 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 15: You're not thinking about it in that sense. I mean 570 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 15: I think you're always like wanting to go do that. 571 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 15: But I think what being here in this situation has 572 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 15: done for me is it allows you to recalibrate and 573 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 15: not worry about those things. It allows you to just 574 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 15: focus on the basics, and it's a good reminder that 575 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 15: that doing that is what leads to success and consistency. 576 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 15: So I think the bigger thing going forward is just 577 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 15: continuing to remind myself of that. 578 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 7: Zach said you had some issues with maybe his accent 579 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 7: when he was trying to Yeah, it's. 580 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: Just like some of these words are. 581 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 15: So new to me, and when you don't get a 582 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 15: shit like I honestly felt like this week was probably 583 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 15: a little bit harder than last week, just because it's 584 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 15: such a short week. You're still putting in a full 585 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 15: game plan. You don't get to hear the play as much. 586 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 15: So there were certain things like and I could picture everything, 587 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 15: but there's certain things with the formations and things like 588 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 15: that that you're hearing for the first couple of times, 589 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 15: and even though you've read the play a million times, 590 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 15: like when you hear it, it just wasn't hitting my 591 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 15: brain right. So there was a few of those and 592 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 15: we were joking on the sideline like any time that happened, 593 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 15: and we broke the play and we broke the huddle, 594 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 15: and it was like, I don't know if we're right here. 595 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean that play hit so like we got lucky 596 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 2: tonight in that sense. What did you see that they played. 597 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 4: Going on one? 598 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 15: The safety didn't really Maybe he was cheating his way 599 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 15: a little bit, but not really, And I knew I 600 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 15: had a conversion to him, and it was a chance 601 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 15: to basically end the game. Uh they I felt like 602 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 15: they were kind of playing butt back shoulders. So the 603 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 15: one adjustment I made there was maybe just throw it 604 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 15: up a little bit more and let him kind of 605 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 15: bend into it if he gets by them. And I 606 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 15: think he got a good release, so I could I 607 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 15: could kind of see that throw happening, you know, as 608 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 15: I was doing it. 609 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: So you can't work here for that bulk of the 610 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: four game losing streak. 611 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 9: You sense what this win meant the teammates had gone 612 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 9: through that. 613 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 15: Oh for sure, that was an awesome sideline, an awesome 614 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 15: locker room after the game. But at the same time, 615 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 15: you got to get those guys with a lot of credit, 616 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 15: Like it's not easy to lose four straight games and 617 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 15: keep your head into it. So the fact that they've 618 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 15: been able to do this and get to the point 619 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 15: where we got tonight and beat a good football team 620 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 15: is also impressive. 621 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 5: Along those lines. 622 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 7: Show it's one win, but given the fact that he 623 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 7: against that defense in this environment, potential what this team. 624 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: Especially off that, Yeah, you sure hope. 625 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 15: So I hope you can come in here and play 626 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 15: well and and you always want to, like, especially when 627 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 15: when you get guys that are good at playing football, 628 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 15: you want to go show them like, hey, man, like 629 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 15: we're gonna be able to do some good things, and 630 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 15: you hope that they feel that way. But now to 631 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 15: go out there and have done it for like the 632 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 15: last six quarters, I think it's going to give us 633 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 15: a lot of confidence and hopefully we can carry that 634 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 15: over and use it to our advantage. 635 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 11: Even though you've only been here for short it's giving 636 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 11: you so much trust and big situations that you're more 637 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 11: a team. 638 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 5: Oh. 639 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 15: I think I told you early on when I got here. 640 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 15: If you can't throw the guys, if you can't get 641 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 15: on the same page with those kind of guys, then you. 642 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 16: Know what are you doing? 643 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: Uh? 644 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 15: They're pretty special. So they're you know, you can you 645 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 15: can kind of read their body language and they get open, 646 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 15: so it's easier to throat to the. 647 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 12: Time you spent with you last week, as you know, 648 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 12: anything that you could share that's maybe really helped simplify 649 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 12: things for you so quickly. Or what is your impression 650 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 12: of Zach in the way he's worked with you to 651 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 12: get you up? 652 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 15: I think the biggest thing is he's been patient, you know, 653 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 15: so even like things like tonight where maybe I wasn't 654 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 15: hearing it right and it wasn't calling it completely right 655 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 15: for a handful of plays, it wasn't like he was 656 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 15: getting bothered by it. He worked with me and he 657 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 15: was patient with me, and he allowed me to just 658 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 15: go play football. And I think he saw that even 659 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 15: though maybe this one little thing was off, that I 660 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 15: was able to just forget about it once the ball 661 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 15: is that. So I would say just that like patience, 662 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,239 Speaker 15: and you know, you know, coaches that have done it 663 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 15: like he has called really good games and put great 664 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 15: game plans together, they want to put all kinds of 665 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 15: good stuff in there. And I think he's tried to 666 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 15: fight that urge a little bit and then been patient 667 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 15: with me. 668 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: You know that lap I was thinking about something you've 669 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 3: said year in year out, that was he kind. 670 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 4: Of lived out last night. 671 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: Make the simple look complex, Make the complex look simple, right, 672 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 3: And Joe Flackwell said, Hey, it's football. You know the 673 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: guy runs her out, You get into the ball, you 674 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 3: get to know the guy. And it's like sometime we 675 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 3: can get so complex and get too deep into weez 676 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 3: that we fit is football. 677 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 4: And he realizes that I got two guys. 678 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 5: Out here at a special absolutely and get them the 679 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 5: rock and they it'll pay dividends, They'll make plays for you, 680 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 5: They'll they'll they'll make you appreciate and be proud of 681 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,479 Speaker 5: the fact that you get them the football. There's no 682 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 5: doubt about it. I think Zach talked about a little bit. 683 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 5: You just kind of referenced it a little bit too. 684 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 5: Is the game plan had some sophistication and complexity to it, 685 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 5: but it was still really simple. It was like keep 686 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 5: it simple, stupid, you know, the running game, the passing 687 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 5: concepts were not, you know, overly sophisticated. I mean it 688 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 5: was it was a game plan that you know, anybody 689 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 5: can could really understand and go out and potentially execute 690 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 5: a guy like Joe Flacco, who's been around the league 691 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 5: as long as he has and has seen as many 692 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 5: football snaps and plays execute, and that he's executed himself 693 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 5: over the years. I mean, I thought it was brilliant, 694 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 5: brilliant game plan put together out of the playbook, you know, 695 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 5: pulling things out that they thought would fit Joe Flacco's 696 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 5: skill set. I mean, twelve live snaps in practice. I mean, 697 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 5: that's unbelievable. Twelve lives. I don't care if you're one 698 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 5: hundred year veteran. That's hard to do. It's hard to 699 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 5: go out there against a defense that's you know, got 700 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 5: football players that can move, are very athletic, can run, 701 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 5: can figure things out. I mean that that the odds 702 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 5: of getting done of what got done and accomplished last 703 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 5: night are unbelievably high.

It was Joe Burrow. 733 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 3: And I said to myself when I saw Joel Burrow 734 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: out there last night, I said, you're not going to 735 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 3: convince me that Joe Burrow was, you know, there for 736 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 3: his team, but he recognizes betteran like Joe Flacco. 737 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 4: I can learn some things by watching this guy. Am 738 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 4: I far offer. 739 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 5: To No, No, I don't think you are at all. 740 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 5: I mean I think I think Joe Burrow is, you know, 741 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 5: not one of these guys that is so impressed for 742 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 5: himself that you know, he thinks he's up at up 743 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 5: at one level and really he's not, you know, in 744 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 5: his mind, he's like, I'm just another guy. 745 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 16: Uh. 746 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 5: Now I can play the quarterback position. I can play 747 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 5: it pretty well, but I don't look at myself as 748 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 5: this football savant that you know is uh is beyond 749 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 5: being approached by people and and uh And he's like, 750 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 5: you know, you can learn from anybody. There's Joe Flacco 751 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 5: has been around the league almost two decades. I can 752 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 5: learn something from this guy. I mean, he's been he's 753 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 5: been places where he's had to learn a and go 754 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 5: to another one unlearned and relearn, go to another one 755 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 5: unlearned and relearn. So on and so forth to mean, 756 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 5: that's not easy, No, that's uneasy cast and you know 757 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 5: tips on how he does it, on how he learns 758 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 5: as quickly as he does, because both of these guys 759 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 5: are a mensa you know, IQ football IQ people, and 760 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 5: you can always learn. The day that you feel like 761 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 5: you can't learn anything more, you should get out of 762 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 5: the game. 763 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it should. 764 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 5: It's over it. 765 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 3: And I think Joe Flackele still has that. I can 766 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 3: still learn things. But I think one of the things 767 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 3: that I like, I've always liked about Joe Burrow was 768 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 3: his love and respect for the game of football, absolutely 769 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 3: and being out there last night and I saw him 770 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 3: and in my mind, he's such a like you said, 771 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 3: of mencing so far ahead of everybody else. Everybody's caught 772 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 3: up in the game last night, and I just felt 773 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 3: like he was probably older that just I'm doing them 774 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 3: in watching two guys and Rogers and Joe Flackell, because 775 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 3: both of these guys can spin a football man, and 776 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 3: I mean they could make deep throw look like little 777 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: five yard passes. They're so beautiful when they're doing it. 778 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 3: And I've thought about, like you said, when you you 779 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 3: were a aligneman, you know, you come in, the guy 780 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 3: teaches you, and you the ropes and the guy comes 781 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 3: behind you and you're like, hey, let me show you 782 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 3: what you need to do to be successful in this league. 783 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 4: And that's that's what makes the NFL so special. 784 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's a big fraternity. It's a pass it down, 785 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 5: you know type deal. Anything that you can do to 786 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 5: help the next generation of football players to make the 787 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 5: National Football League better and improve the product for the 788 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 5: consumption of the general public, man, you're going to do it, 789 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 5: you know. I will say that that Joe Burrow and 790 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 5: Joe Flackel are definitely cut from the same cloth. I 791 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 5: mean they have they have more similarities than differences in 792 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 5: their overall personality, the type of person that they are, 793 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 5: the way they commuter, communicate with others. 794 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 4: Uh. 795 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 5: And then from a football standpoint, it's even fewer differences 796 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 5: and more similarities. They they're they're cut from the same cloth. 797 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 5: There's no question about it. They see the game of 798 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 5: football through the same set of eyes. The same things 799 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 5: are important for victory, keys to getting things done. That 800 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 5: that doesn't differentiate much between these two guys. So, uh, 801 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 5: you know, again, I thought two things that that that 802 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 5: the Bengals were able to do to support Joe Flacco, 803 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 5: and what they do to support Joe Burrow when they 804 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 5: win football games is run the football efficiently and don't 805 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 5: give the football away. You know, win the turnover battle. 806 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 5: Go plus one plus two plus three, and you're gonna 807 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 5: be in high cotton. 808 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 4: No question about it.

You have to run the football. 833 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 3: It sets up everything else. It buys you. Play action 834 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 3: can buy you a split second four linebacker, the respect, 835 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 3: the fact you may run, create space on the backside 836 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 3: of that level and maybe get some opportunities there that 837 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't be there. Or in this game, a half a 838 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 3: second or a split second is everything it is. 839 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 5: And if you can run the football and then have 840 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 5: a play action game, play action passing game off of 841 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 5: that exact running play, the players that you're running the 842 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 5: football at the opposing defense, and then you put the 843 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 5: ball in the back's belly and pull it out of 844 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 5: there and run routes, and you're gonna find yourself in 845 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 5: a high cott and you're gonna find yourself making making 846 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 5: some yards and scoring points. There's no question about it. 847 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 5: So it's imperative. Me got to run the football. And 848 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 5: then you know, in order to Aaron Rodgers is the 849 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 5: master of play action passing as well, and in order 850 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 5: to limit that effectiveness, you got to you gotta handle 851 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 5: the running game. And I thought the Bengals, for the 852 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 5: most part, did a decent job handling the running game 853 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,399 Speaker 5: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, the Bengals put thirty 854 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 5: three points up on the board, but they had a 855 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 5: quarterback through for Amal Street in fifty yards, had a 856 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 5: running back go for a buck fifty, the other running 857 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 5: back go for ninety. Jamar Chase went for almost a 858 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 5: buck fifty. T Higgins goes for ninety. I mean they 859 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 5: had weapons everywhere. Why because they ran the football and 860 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 5: then they could play action pass off of that. And 861 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,720 Speaker 5: everybody ate, man and everybody ate heartily, everybody hardly. 862 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,720 Speaker 3: In the first quarter, you look at that rushing yards 863 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 3: in the first quarter, forty four for the Steelers, third 864 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 3: fourteen for the Bengals. Thus steals up seven to nothing. Yep, 865 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 3: second quarter rush yards Bengals eighty three to twenty one, 866 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, now it's a seventeen point game. 867 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 3: Seventeen to three. And you look at that and say, 868 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 3: what happened? Eighty three yards on the ground means you 869 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 3: were really moving the chains and creating opportunities. 870 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, And the Bengals got to give them credit. They 871 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 5: fell behind ten to nothing in this football game. First 872 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 5: two drives, Pittsburgh had the football. They put ten points 873 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 5: in the board, and the Bengals at that point were 874 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 5: kind of stammering and stuttering a little bit, and they 875 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 5: we weren't getting much done in that first quarter, like 876 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 5: the numbers that you were you were just talking about there. 877 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 5: But no quit, absolutely no quit. Didn't spit the bit, 878 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 5: didn't you know, say, nobody came to the sideline frustrated, 879 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 5: you know, disappointed, pointing fingers at teammates. None of that stuff. 880 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 5: There's no finger pointing this This football team is made 881 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 5: of the right stuff. They've got the right kind of 882 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 5: people that are you gonna say, you know what, We're 883 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 5: gonna play every snap in the football game. We're not 884 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 5: gonna quit in any single one of them, and hopefully 885 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 5: we'll have more productive snaps than non productive and. 886 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 2: We're gonna win. 887 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 5: We're gonna win a lot of football games. That's what 888 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 5: it's all. About no question. 889 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 3: We got another hour and then the hour with t.

Old Lion did 1014 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 17: great in protection. Fla was doing a great jobs just 1015 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 17: getting the balls out when he had pressure. So, I 1016 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 17: mean today was just an overall all around offensive Union games. 1017 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 17: Part of that game it felt good, but it was 1018 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,760 Speaker 17: a little nervous. Nervous at the end, not gonna say nervous, 1019 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 17: but nerve racking. 1020 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 2: At the end. No one is getting down. 1021 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 17: It's two minutes under and you got a ride that 1022 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 17: those hell nervers for a living, and you know it's 1023 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 17: always ended up a touchdown, so it gets a little nervous. 1024 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 7: I think they leave the entire second half, they take 1025 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 7: the lead, what do you. 1026 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 17: Think, Um, that's what they pays the money for.

Last 1067 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 17: week was a little off for me. So honestly, it 1068 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 17: just just coming in being a veteran, just knowing the 1069 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 17: coverages and knowing what what's his answer? 1070 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,280 Speaker 2: I think that's that's his best reason. 1071 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 7: Did you think this kind of offensive success was possible 1072 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,280 Speaker 7: this quickly since you guys got flocked out? 1073 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 17: I I think we knew it last week. We seen 1074 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 17: the opportunities last week, you. 1075 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 2: Should they didn't pretty much? Uh come to Yeah. 1076 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 17: Man, you know they was gonna put Joey on tea 1077 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 17: and put jailing on me, and we knew that he 1078 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 17: was ready for it. 1079 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 2: We was gonna take advantage of those opportunity. 1080 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 7: One of the Chase Brown's long runs, you ran, sprinted 1081 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 7: down the field and made a big block. 1082 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 2: All star receivers want to do that. Why did you? 1083 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:13,720 Speaker 2: I got to give effort? 1084 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 17: I told Chase I gotta give him more effort on 1085 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 17: my run blocks, just because I know some of the 1086 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 17: times I don't, I don't I don't expect him to 1087 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 17: cut back to my side, and he does it the 1088 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 17: majority of the time, so I gotta give him eff more. 1089 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,520 Speaker 2: I think this could be read. 1090 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 4: So I get a right through ninth game with one hundred. 1091 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 11: And fifty receiving yards, you passed Jerry Rice for the most 1092 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 11: in the first five seasons. What's it like to kind 1093 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,800 Speaker 11: of here you kind of in that conversation and pastor 1094 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:44,279 Speaker 11: Gully Jerry. 1095 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 2: It's cool. I don't even really know what I don't. 1096 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 17: I would never know what that is until y'all tell 1097 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 17: me at the end of the day, you know. So 1098 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 17: it's cool opportunity hearing it, man. But I still got 1099 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 17: a long way to go, and that's to go to 1100 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 17: get a Super Bowl and then go jacket. 1101 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 11: Cherry's got a ton of records. Is that growing up 1102 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 11: something that you've thought about? And the kind of the 1103 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 11: numbers and his career how much? 1104 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 7: No, if I'm being no, Yeah, second game with at 1105 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 7: least fourteen catches this year? 1106 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 16: Did it? 1107 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 2: And you said he felt like he had only l 1108 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 2: eight or nine. Did it feel different? Maybe compared to 1109 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 2: that Jacksonville game you have fourteen. No, not really, you 1110 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 2: know that. 1111 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 16: I know. 1112 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,200 Speaker 17: The only game that I felt like I had a 1113 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,919 Speaker 17: lot of passes the Cardinals game on the Asy game. 1114 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 2: But that game and this game didn't really feel like 1115 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 2: I had a lot. 1116 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 3: All right, that's de mar Chase and I was just 1117 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 3: looking at his target forty five over three weeks and 1118 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 3: rightfully so. If there's a guy that probably would never 1119 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 3: get tired of running routes and you're throwing the ball 1120 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 3: to him, is to mar Chase. 1121 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,359 Speaker 4: But I will say this, and I have to say this, I. 1122 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 3: Love the humility and the recognition of being the number 1123 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 3: two guy that T Higgins is. He could power, he 1124 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 3: could complain, he could say whatever. He understands. His role 1125 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 3: is just. 1126 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 4: As important, and it's just important in a different way. 1127 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 5: Absolutely. I mean, those two guys have a very unique relationship. 1128 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 5: There's no doubt about it. T. Higgins is an important 1129 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,840 Speaker 5: player on this football team. In my mind, Chase and 1130 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 5: Higgins is the best combination, best one two punch at 1131 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 5: the receiver position in the entire National Football League. They 1132 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 5: feed off each other, they have great respect for each 1133 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 5: other's game. They're glad they're teammates. And the one thing 1134 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 5: two things about Jamar Chase in that interview, a postgame interview, 1135 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,439 Speaker 5: willingness to block. Superstar receivers are allergic to block. It's 1136 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,480 Speaker 5: a foreign concept. They don't want any part of it. 1137 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 5: They want to stay as far away from it as 1138 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 5: they can. Jamar Chase goes out there and sticks his 1139 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 5: nose right in there, right in the middle of the action. Man, 1140 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 5: I mean he is. He'll motion from outside the inside 1141 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 5: and block, you know, in the box where a lot 1142 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 5: of traffic is a lot of a lot of fierce 1143 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,560 Speaker 5: hitting goes on in there. He wants to be part 1144 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 5: of it. And the other thing when he slid to 1145 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,280 Speaker 5: take the you know at the end of the football 1146 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 5: game after a twenty five yard catch, you know, run 1147 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 5: and catch, catch and run, he slides. Okay, Well, is 1148 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 5: that that that big a deal? Yeah? And he could 1149 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 5: have scored Okay, last year Triple Crown winner catches yards touchdown. Yeah, 1150 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 5: you don't think the guy is interested in scoring touchdowns? 1151 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,760 Speaker 5: Hell yeah, he is. That's one of his primary roles 1152 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 5: as a great receiver on the football team. But the 1153 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 5: coaches when they sent the player and it's like if 1154 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 5: you make the play and catch the football, get on 1155 00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 5: the ground, and uh, we'll win the football game. And 1156 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 5: when asked, now, why did you go to the ground 1157 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 5: like that? To win the game? That's the object of 1158 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 5: the plan, win the game. 1159 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some guys out there, there's stats stataholics, absolutely, 1160 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,240 Speaker 3: and all they want. 1161 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,280 Speaker 4: To do is pad those numbers. 1162 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 3: This is how you win the big one when everybody 1163 00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 3: is selfless and team is bigger than individual. We'll take 1164 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,000 Speaker 3: a break, we'll come back with more.

That was just 1172 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,479 Speaker 4: like he did. DK Metcalf LT. Now know how DK 1173 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 4: Metcalf feels after being with Mike. 1174 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:41,439 Speaker 5: He was so good. 1175 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 2: He took wa. 1176 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 3: Hey, don't forget the best care for the best fans 1177 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,800 Speaker 3: gathering the Health official healthcare provider of the Cincinnati Bengals. 1178 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 5: You'll lap. 1179 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 3: One of the other things I thought last night was 1180 00:54:54,680 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 3: so good was I love when guys who aren't playing 1181 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 3: all out, all in on the sideline into the game. 1182 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying this in a demeaning way, but cheerleaders, Yeah, 1183 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,799 Speaker 3: I mean they're like, hey, man, I want us to 1184 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,479 Speaker 3: win and beat these Steelers and get back in this game. 1185 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,840 Speaker 3: And the enthusiasm that the guys have on this team. 1186 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 3: It's been this way since Zach has been here. There's 1187 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 3: this mutual admiration society that exists on this team. 1188 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 5: I agree with you. I mean it's a brotherhood, man, 1189 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,240 Speaker 5: you know, a big fraternity. And I thought Logan Wilson 1190 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 5: is a good example of what you're talking about. I mean, 1191 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 5: Logan Wilson didn't get many snaps in last night's football game, 1192 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 5: but when he did get in the in the game 1193 00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,440 Speaker 5: and Al Golden ran two different schemes. He ran a 1194 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 5: five to two defense and Logan Wilson wasn't part of 1195 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 5: the four to three defense. Logan Wilson was a big 1196 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,319 Speaker 5: part of it, and he mixed and matched. You know 1197 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:58,240 Speaker 5: that those two defensive configurations into what Pittsburgh was doing 1198 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 5: offensively in terms of four mation's motion play selection, that 1199 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,600 Speaker 5: sort of thing. So Logan Wilson, when he was out 1200 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,759 Speaker 5: of the football game on the sideline, he was the 1201 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 5: first one to greet any defensive football team coming off 1202 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 5: the field. You know, he was right at al Golden 1203 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,400 Speaker 5: shoulder listening, you know, maybe who knows, maybe making a 1204 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 5: comment or two of things that he observed. So, I mean, 1205 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 5: Logan Wilson, it's been a Bengal for a while, and 1206 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 5: I'm sure it hurt, you know that his role changed, 1207 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 5: But he's all in. He's still a Cincinnati Bengal. He 1208 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 5: wants to win football games. He wants his teammates to 1209 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 5: do well. He wants the city to finally celebrate a 1210 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 5: Super Bowl championship, if not that, at least inn AFC 1211 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 5: championship on his watch while he's playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. 1212 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,320 Speaker 5: So here we go, Here. 1213 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,440 Speaker 3: We go, and I have to remind people, you know 1214 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 3: that this is a super Bowl caliber team, but it 1215 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,279 Speaker 3: is not the Super Bowl team right, only about nine 1216 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 3: guys remaining from that team. But this team has a 1217 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,600 Speaker 3: talent at every position. And let's stop for a second, 1218 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 3: and give kudos to that offensive line because whether it 1219 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 3: was ron blocking or pass blocking, the offensive line last 1220 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 3: night and they went up against a formidable defense, and 1221 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 3: that offensive line had held their own all night long. 1222 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 5: And and Joe Flacco one of the first things he 1223 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,440 Speaker 5: did well. The offensive line had a heck of a game. 1224 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 5: They were they were getting it done. They were operating 1225 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 5: at a very high level. And in this football game. 1226 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 5: Kudos to Joe Flacco to give credit to his offensive 1227 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 5: line in such a meaningful way. You know, in the 1228 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 5: postgame pressure and I've talked to some of the offensive line, 1229 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 5: they already loved Joe Flacco. Man Flacco gets it. He understands, 1230 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 5: you know, things that that offensive line. He dangles to carrot, 1231 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 5: you know, he he he throws it out there. He 1232 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 5: throws compliments out there, and you know they they respond. 1233 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 5: I mean, there's not it's a it's a very unsung 1234 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 5: thing to do playing the offensive line. You never touched 1235 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 5: the football, you know, you don't have any stats other 1236 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 5: than fumble recoveries. Maybe you recover one he first touchdown 1237 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 5: and have a career touchdowns scored. But I mean that, uh, 1238 00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 5: that is a very thankless position. It can be a 1239 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 5: lonely position if you make a mistake and uh, you know, 1240 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 5: you get called out about it. So Joe flacko understands 1241 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 5: he needs an offensive line in front of him. He 1242 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 5: ain't no dummy. He's been around the NFL and succeeded 1243 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 5: at a high level for many reasons, and one of 1244 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 5: them is he's a hell of a good teammate, loyal 1245 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 5: to his teammates, and he's got football like you. 1246 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 3: Very approachable, very professional, very classy. I was leaving last night. 1247 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 3: Obviously we're we're there late, long after the game is over. Sure, 1248 00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 3: he was properly out there with the Prime crew. But 1249 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 3: I turned a corner and here comes six five Joe 1250 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 3: flack on five to five Wayne box Miller, and uh, 1251 00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 3: you know, I did what any short now would do, 1252 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 3: I guess in his way.

Pleasure to Welcome to the show, Brook, 1312 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:52,480 Speaker 3: pryor Brooke, How are you. 1313 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 4: My friend? 1314 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 14: I am great to know that I've had two or 1315 01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 14: three cold birds today. I've lost track a little bit 1316 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 14: that day after a primetime game. Game just I mean 1317 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 14: hits you. 1318 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 16: Like a bus. 1319 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 14: It is. 1320 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 16: It is brutal, you know. 1321 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,360 Speaker 3: I tell you this was a game that many people 1322 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:16,080 Speaker 3: thought would be a great game defensively, and it turned 1323 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,160 Speaker 3: into a great game offensively. 1324 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 4: In your opinion, what happened? 1325 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 14: That is the million dollar question. I mean, I think 1326 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 14: we can all see why Mike Tomlin did not want 1327 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 14: to face Joe Flacco and why he was so mad 1328 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,840 Speaker 14: at Andrew Berry. I think that what happened is that 1329 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 14: the Steelers couldn't stop the run, and that's really where 1330 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 14: it all started to fall apart, where the wheels started 1331 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,960 Speaker 14: to come off, and then they clearly nothing was working 1332 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 14: on Jamar Chase and T Higgins. I think Joe Flacco 1333 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 14: did a really good job getting the ball out of 1334 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 14: his hands quickly. He knew where he wanted to go 1335 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 14: with the ball, which is incredibly impressive only being with 1336 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 14: the team for ten days and just having those veteran instincts, 1337 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 14: being Holm cool, collected all those Joe Cool things. The 1338 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 14: Steelers defense just didn't have any answer for it. And 1339 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 14: I think that if you're the Steelers and you're Mike Tomlin, 1340 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 14: you were very open about building a secondary specifically for 1341 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 14: the Bengals to be able to match up with T 1342 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 14: Higgins and Jamar Chase. This is a really bad look. 1343 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 14: This is a really bad kind of first result because 1344 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 14: it showed that the scheme is not effective and that 1345 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 14: your players might be too old, even though you've gone 1346 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 14: out to get them, they're just not in the right shape. 1347 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 14: Jalen Ramsey Darius Slay older in their careers, Jalen Ramsey 1348 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 14: also coming off of a hamstring injury on a short week. 1349 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 14: They just don't have the same abilities that they did 1350 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 14: earlier in their careers, so it was really just a 1351 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 14: failure top to bottom. 1352 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 5: Are you surprised at all that the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike 1353 01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 5: Tomlin as the head coach and then the defensive coordinator 1354 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 5: Terrell Austin, did not make adjustments? You know that they 1355 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 5: were slow in making adjustments to what the Cincinnati Bengals 1356 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 5: were doing offensively, particularly with you know, a new quarterback 1357 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 5: and you know you know he's going to go to 1358 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:20,600 Speaker 5: the top two receivers, but they the Bengals were doing 1359 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 5: it in different ways, different formations, motion, personnel groupings, that 1360 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 5: sort of thing. Were you surprised that Pittsburgh had difficulty 1361 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 5: handling it? 1362 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 14: No, And I'm not surprised because this is what I've 1363 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,720 Speaker 14: seen out of this defense pretty much as long as 1364 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 14: I've been here, although the last couple of years have 1365 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 14: been worse. This defense is not great at making in 1366 01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 14: game adjustments, and they're definitely not good at preparation on 1367 01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,120 Speaker 14: a short week. Mike Tomlin's now oh to seven on 1368 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 14: Thursday night games against divisional road opponents. So for whatever reason, 1369 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 14: this is what trips them up. And the kind of 1370 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 14: flat footedness of the defense and the inability to adjust, 1371 01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,919 Speaker 14: I think is a root of the problem. But that's 1372 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,240 Speaker 14: that's how he coaches, that's how Carol Austin calls it. 1373 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 14: This has been a recurring theme of the defense not 1374 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 14: being able to adjust in the second half or throughout 1375 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 14: the game. So I wish I could say I was surprised, 1376 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 14: but I'm not. 1377 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 3: You know, Brooke standing on the defensive side of the ball. 1378 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 3: I've watched Joey Porter Junior, and I mean me personally, 1379 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 3: I'm not a coach, I don't have NFL credentials, but 1380 01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,800 Speaker 3: it seems like to me, I'm just not impressed with him. 1381 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 16: You know. 1382 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 14: I think that he was really frustrated after the game. 1383 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 14: He felt like it wasn't called fairly. I don't necessarily 1384 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 14: agree with that. I tend to agree with Jalen Ramsey 1385 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 14: that the calls don't matter. It was, you know, up 1386 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 14: to the DBS to make the plays and be better. 1387 01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:00,160 Speaker 14: I think that Joey has just been kind of a 1388 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 14: little up and down. He was hurt early in the season. 1389 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,320 Speaker 14: I think he's still trying to come back from that 1390 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 14: soft tissue injury, but it's made his development not be 1391 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 14: quite as linear as I expected. I think that he 1392 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 14: tends to fall into this trap of he hand fights 1393 01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 14: and then he gets penalized, and then he doesn't really 1394 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,480 Speaker 14: correct anything he said. You know, I tried to talk 1395 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 14: with the officials about what I was doing, but they 1396 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 14: didn't want to have an educational conversation. That's not great, 1397 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 14: not a good look to complain about the officials after that, 1398 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 14: And then he's been a step slow on some of those, 1399 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,919 Speaker 14: on some of that man to man. So I think 1400 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 14: that it's not that all hope is lost for him 1401 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,920 Speaker 14: by any means. I think that he still has another 1402 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,160 Speaker 14: level that he can get to, but the development hasn't 1403 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,720 Speaker 14: been as consistent as you'd like to see it. 1404 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 2: You know. 1405 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 3: I think part of that is, as a coach used 1406 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 3: to tell me, when you talk a lot to draw 1407 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 3: attention to yourself, and I think. 1408 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:58,560 Speaker 4: He's one of those guys. 1409 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 3: But on other side of the ball, Aaron Rodgers, I mean, 1410 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 3: he still has a spin on that ball that just 1411 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 3: he and Flacco both and Dave talked about it earlier. 1412 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 3: But sometime I wonder, just like the first inn Sepsy threw, 1413 01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 3: was that a matter of him thinking that his guy 1414 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,720 Speaker 3: was just gonna turn that into a fifty to fifty 1415 01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 3: ball or was it just simply, in your mind a 1416 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:20,080 Speaker 3: bad throw. 1417 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 14: I think it was maybe a little bit of both. 1418 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,040 Speaker 14: I forget what his answer was about it after the game, 1419 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 14: that he just made a bad decision, but you know, 1420 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 14: and then the other one was just a great play 1421 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 14: by the defender to wrestle it away from DK Metcalf, 1422 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 14: and DK was really frustrated about on himself for that, 1423 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,080 Speaker 14: for letting that happen. But I mean, outside of those 1424 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:48,240 Speaker 14: two interceptions and really just one interception that was I 1425 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 14: think a mental error by Aaron Rodgers, I was really 1426 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 14: impressed with him. I mean, this has now been two 1427 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 14: weeks in a row or just you know, four or 1428 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,919 Speaker 14: five days in a row, or games separated by that much. 1429 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 14: Seeing him be able to extend the play, move around 1430 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 14: in the pocket by time. I mean the touchdown of 1431 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 14: John new Smith, he had nine point eight seconds until 1432 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 14: he threw the ball, the longest in a long time 1433 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 14: that he's held the ball. I feel like he has 1434 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 14: a better command of this offense. Although it's interesting he 1435 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,760 Speaker 14: has a better command yet I saw him be more 1436 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,639 Speaker 14: frustrated at guys last night than he's been at any 1437 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:28,720 Speaker 14: point in the year. Is almost like bad aeron was. 1438 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,559 Speaker 14: He had a good aeron and bad aeron on his 1439 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 14: shoulders and bad aerin one. And he was very demonstrative. 1440 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:39,439 Speaker 14: Although Broderick Jones may have deserved that for tackling Rogers 1441 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,760 Speaker 14: in celebration. You can't do that to a forty one 1442 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 14: year old. But you know, I was impressed with him 1443 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,320 Speaker 14: last night. It is it feels like I live in 1444 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,400 Speaker 14: Bizarro world, that the Steelers offense was not the problem 1445 01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,759 Speaker 14: and that it's the defense that keeps coming up short. 1446 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 5: This might be almost crazy, and I hate to put 1447 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 5: you on the spot, but I'm going to put you 1448 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,800 Speaker 5: on the spotcast a little bit and if you feel uncomfortable, 1449 01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 5: we'll just let me know. But Mike Tomlin has been 1450 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 5: there a long time, twenty whatever years. I don't think 1451 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 5: he's had a losing season. The guy's remarkable, great coach. 1452 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 5: I've met him. He went to Miami and Ohio, where 1453 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,639 Speaker 5: my son went to college, and that was a while ago. 1454 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,360 Speaker 5: He's in the Hall of Fame there. I mean, he's 1455 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:27,960 Speaker 5: an incredible human being, incredible person as well as phenomenal 1456 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 5: football coach. Do you think it might be time that 1457 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,920 Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Steelers decide to move on from Mike Tomlin 1458 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,920 Speaker 5: and go in another direction. And if they do decide that, 1459 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 5: do you think it will be promotion from within or 1460 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 5: do you think they'll go outside the organization to find 1461 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:45,519 Speaker 5: the next head coach. 1462 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,680 Speaker 14: Well, the thing about the Steelers organization is that, you know, 1463 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,840 Speaker 14: no matter what I think or what anybody thinks about 1464 01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 14: what they should do with Mike Tomlin, the reality is 1465 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 14: he just started the first year of his newest extension, 1466 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 14: and the Pittsburgh Deelers they don't pay coaches not to work, 1467 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 14: and b I don't. I don't think that because of 1468 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 14: how long he's been there, and you're right, he's never 1469 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 14: had a losing season. He has built up so much 1470 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,599 Speaker 14: goodwill and credibility and trust that they are not going 1471 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 14: to be the ones to say, Okay, we need to 1472 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 14: try something else. If something, if they were to get 1473 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 14: a new head coach, it would have to be Mike 1474 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 14: Tomlin going to them and saying, I've done all I 1475 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 14: can do here, I need to move on. That's what 1476 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:36,200 Speaker 14: it would take. I don't see him doing that, just 1477 01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 14: like I don't see the Steelers saying, Mike, we're ready 1478 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 14: to move on. I think that you know, while there 1479 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 14: are recurring themes here with the defense needing to change 1480 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,680 Speaker 14: the scheme, with the lack of in game adjustments, with 1481 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 14: some of the talent acquisition, which yes, omark On is 1482 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,639 Speaker 14: a general manager, but Mike Tomlin has a huge, huge 1483 01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,960 Speaker 14: stay in roster construction. All of these things are things 1484 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,959 Speaker 14: that deserve scrutiny. But the reality is that the Pittsburgh 1485 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 14: Steelers don't change because of things like that, which is 1486 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,800 Speaker 14: crazy because we know they haven't won a playoff game 1487 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,439 Speaker 14: in a really long time, but they believe in staying 1488 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,599 Speaker 14: the course and staying loyal and so they're just kind 1489 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:20,759 Speaker 14: of in this stalemate until something gives right. 1490 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,439 Speaker 3: Well, Brooke, we always appreciate you making time for us. 1491 01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,240 Speaker 3: You are absolutely fantastic.

Uh, you know, and talking about that night, 1589 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 3: let's talk about that game, because we don't want to 1590 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:18,920 Speaker 3: look past the New York guests either. 1591 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 5: They're hurting. 1592 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've got they've got another game at home 1593 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 4: against the Carolina Panthers, I believe. 1594 01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,000 Speaker 3: And uh man, you talking about somebody being in the 1595 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 3: hot seat and New York. 1596 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 4: It doesn't take long. 1597 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 3: And Vincy g and Glenn came in heralded and excited 1598 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,839 Speaker 3: and talking about what they were going to do, and 1599 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 3: and they did it for a quarter, maybe two quarters, 1600 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 3: maybe three quarters. 1601 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 4: They haven't done it for a whole game. 1602 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,519 Speaker 3: So I said, selfishly, I hope they win this week, 1603 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,559 Speaker 3: and I wanted to come in here next week, you know, 1604 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:50,360 Speaker 3: even more desperate. But you can't celebrate this win so 1605 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:53,640 Speaker 3: much last night that you forget that you have to 1606 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,880 Speaker 3: raise your level of play next week, because that is 1607 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:57,000 Speaker 3: a desperate. 1608 01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 5: Team, absolutely, And uh you know, desperate sometimes means you know, 1609 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,720 Speaker 5: they're all or nothing. They're coming in to get it done, 1610 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:11,639 Speaker 5: and that's when upsets occur. Upsets occur when you're heavily favored, 1611 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,559 Speaker 5: you know, and the Bengals will probably be close to 1612 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 5: a touchdown favorite in the National Football League. That's monstrous. 1613 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:22,800 Speaker 5: That's a big spread. So the Bengals cannot, you know, 1614 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 5: rest on their laurels as such, and they shouldn't I mean, 1615 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 5: they don't have a five hundred record yet. If they 1616 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 5: win this football game, they will, you know, but you know, 1617 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 5: who are they to be like we've arrived. No, you 1618 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,800 Speaker 5: haven't arrived. You haven't arrived anywhere yet. But it'll be 1619 01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,840 Speaker 5: interesting because you know, New York Jets. It's not like 1620 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:42,799 Speaker 5: they don't have talent. Every team in the National Football 1621 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 5: League has football players. It's just a matter of how 1622 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,000 Speaker 5: has it been put together, how's it all working?

By Dave and I 1793 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:11,599 Speaker 16: are in our respective positions. 1794 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:12,080 Speaker 4: A max I. 1795 01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 3: I tell you, for the fans and and for the 1796 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 3: TV viewing network, what a great game. 1797 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 4: But if you're still a fan, not so good. 1798 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,840 Speaker 8: Yeah you're yeah, you know. I mean, but this is 1799 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 8: what those games are. This is what aft nor football is, right. 1800 01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,560 Speaker 8: It's it's gonna be tight, it's gonna be one possession. 1801 01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,400 Speaker 8: Never is there just some type of just walk off, blowoff, 1802 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,120 Speaker 8: blowout game, unless it's that team that's a little bit. 1803 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 16: East of y'all. 1804 01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 8: But this is this is normally how those games go. 1805 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 8: I mean, you look at the last ten times the 1806 01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:45,160 Speaker 8: Cincinnati Bengals. 1807 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:45,720 Speaker 16: And here's a play. 1808 01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:47,960 Speaker 8: It literally comes down to the scores two hundred and 1809 01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 8: thirty seven to two hundred and thirty seven points scored 1810 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 8: for both teams. Wow, Like that's how evenly matched this 1811 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:54,280 Speaker 8: type of contest is. 1812 01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 5: Man, I mean that that is crazy. That is crazy. 1813 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 5: The Bengal when they were preparing for this football game 1814 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,760 Speaker 5: doc with the coaches, they said two things are going 1815 01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 5: to be determining factor in this football game turnovers, and 1816 01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 5: the Bengals were plus two in that category. They got 1817 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,880 Speaker 5: too off. The Pittsburgh Steelers and didn't turn it over 1818 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 5: at all, and then the running game would they be 1819 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 5: able to have a successful ground attack. And Chase Brown 1820 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:25,559 Speaker 5: obviously was big, a big part of that for the 1821 01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 5: Cincinnati Bengals in their favor, and you know, they felt 1822 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 5: like they needed to control Pittsburgh's running game. They couldn't 1823 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 5: let Pittsburgh's running game get out the gate and h 1824 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:40,600 Speaker 5: and do some serious damage. What's the reaction been like, 1825 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,320 Speaker 5: What was the reaction like in the locker room when 1826 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 5: you hit the locker room after the football game, And 1827 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,080 Speaker 5: what's it been like from the media. 1828 01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,800 Speaker 8: You know, I think I think there was a sense 1829 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,920 Speaker 8: of disappointment, you know, amongst the players faces because they 1830 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,920 Speaker 8: know that the execution just wasn't there in the key moments. 1831 01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 8: I mean, you know, normally, when you put up thirty 1832 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 8: one points, right, you're supposed to win a game. But 1833 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,640 Speaker 8: that comes down to the defense not being able to 1834 01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 8: do their job. I mean, you know, you think about it. 1835 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,800 Speaker 8: The Bengals scored, you guys scored on seven of nine 1836 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:18,759 Speaker 8: drives in the game last night. And for a defense 1837 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,759 Speaker 8: that quote unquote was supposed to be tenacious, it didn't 1838 01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 8: prove to be that. 1839 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:24,720 Speaker 16: It proved to be the. 1840 01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:28,919 Speaker 8: Opposite of that, and offense we thought was the issue, 1841 01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 8: ended up showing up. Now, granted, those two interceptions, I 1842 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 8: have to say the first one Aaron tried to force 1843 01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,760 Speaker 8: one that wasn't there, that first interception down the sideline, 1844 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,720 Speaker 8: But the second one, DJ Turner made a heck of 1845 01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 8: a play and I have to give him all the 1846 01:28:43,080 --> 01:28:45,280 Speaker 8: credit in the world. He made a heck of a 1847 01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 8: play and to get that knee down right before he 1848 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,240 Speaker 8: went out of bounds was huge, and it was something 1849 01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:52,639 Speaker 8: and it was something that I think when you look 1850 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:55,080 Speaker 8: at just how the game went, those are those moments. 1851 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 8: But for the Steelers to be as in control as 1852 01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,160 Speaker 8: you were in the first quarter, I think once they 1853 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:02,720 Speaker 8: messed up on that that botched fleet flicker that was 1854 01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,679 Speaker 8: called off, but not everybody knew it was called off, 1855 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:10,760 Speaker 8: and that really set the momentum in the Bengals favor. 1856 01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,639 Speaker 8: And you guys took took advantage of it and ran 1857 01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 8: with it. And now a lot of miscommunication with Jamar Chase. 1858 01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,360 Speaker 8: I mean, Jamark Chase had probably one of his best games. 1859 01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 16: Ever, you know, and for and for Joe Flacco. 1860 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 8: You think about this, that's the most pass that he's 1861 01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,760 Speaker 8: had former receiver and how many teams he played on, 1862 01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 8: how long is he played in this league? And that 1863 01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:31,639 Speaker 8: was the most beat out the previous of twelve against 1864 01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:35,759 Speaker 8: with Steve Smith when he was in Baltimore, right right. 1865 01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's really tough because I think what happens 1866 01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 3: is you think that you got this game plan and 1867 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,160 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the things don't happen the way 1868 01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,920 Speaker 3: you want him to, and it causes problem because the 1869 01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,160 Speaker 3: steel is like the run the ball, but the still 1870 01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:52,800 Speaker 3: is like to stop people for run the ball, and 1871 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 3: they couldn't do that, so it made it made it 1872 01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,480 Speaker 3: a challenge for them. 1873 01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,080 Speaker 16: Yeah, and the time of possession. 1874 01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 8: I mean that that that drive in the third quarter 1875 01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:02,920 Speaker 8: kind of like what you guys did the week before 1876 01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:05,680 Speaker 8: against Green Bay. You know that third quarter drive that 1877 01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:08,519 Speaker 8: just chews up about half o'clock. I mean green Bay 1878 01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:11,360 Speaker 8: it was a ten minutes and thirteen second, eighteen play drive. 1879 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 8: Then you follow that up on Thursday night and the 1880 01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,280 Speaker 8: third quarter you have a fourteen play, seventh minute and 1881 01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,000 Speaker 8: five second drive. So those are the things that when 1882 01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 8: you're coming out the gates for the second half, you 1883 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 8: get in that first possession, you kind of get to 1884 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,120 Speaker 8: dictate to the opposite team how the terms are going 1885 01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:29,320 Speaker 8: to be, and the Steelers never quite changed the momentum 1886 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,519 Speaker 8: or the rhythm of the control once the Bengals took over. 1887 01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,160 Speaker 3: Max Starks from Pittsburgh steel A Radio, join us right now. 1888 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:41,000 Speaker 3: You know, Max, talk about the atmosphere last night. I mean, 1889 01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:44,320 Speaker 3: you know, Pittsburgh has their crowd, their their audience, but 1890 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,640 Speaker 3: that white out last night had to be something that 1891 01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:49,400 Speaker 3: you just couldn't ignore if you're a Steeler. 1892 01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,600 Speaker 16: Oh no, you absolutely couldn't. It was. 1893 01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,439 Speaker 8: And I actually put this on social media, I said, 1894 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 8: I said, and I had a Bengals game, or had 1895 01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,600 Speaker 8: a Cincinnati Bearcat game, right because. 1896 01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,000 Speaker 16: It gave you that call the atmosphere. 1897 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,519 Speaker 8: Yeah, of you know of a white out or black 1898 01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,679 Speaker 8: you know when teams want to do their all out 1899 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,639 Speaker 8: color and to change the field, I. 1900 01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:11,799 Speaker 16: Thought was was just genius. 1901 01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:14,639 Speaker 8: And to do all the white in there, it gave 1902 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:17,679 Speaker 8: you a collegiate atmosphere. I think I think it actually 1903 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,320 Speaker 8: intensified the crowd. And like you said, normally you see 1904 01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:24,120 Speaker 8: a lot of Steeler fans. If they were there, you 1905 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 8: couldn't really tell, because I'm sure most Steeler fans probably 1906 01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,360 Speaker 8: came and think we're wearing away white, so you wear 1907 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 8: white and then you're like, oh, man, I walked. 1908 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 16: Into a whiteout. 1909 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,000 Speaker 8: So in fact, for me, I had a white polo 1910 01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 8: over you saw me last night, you know, and I 1911 01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 8: didn't even know, so it was a surprise. I'm like, 1912 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:41,360 Speaker 8: dang it, I wish I would have not had to 1913 01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,640 Speaker 8: wear a black polo. But I thought that was a 1914 01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:45,879 Speaker 8: really cool environment, especially for Thursday night football. 1915 01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:46,639 Speaker 16: Right we think of. 1916 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,719 Speaker 8: All these color Rush jerseys and how the NFL's changed 1917 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 8: with Nike, and I thought that was a really cool 1918 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 8: touch to have that type of environment. And it played perfectly, 1919 01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 8: especially from you know, the television standpoint and especially the 1920 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:01,080 Speaker 8: viewing public that was in the stadium. You felt like 1921 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:04,160 Speaker 8: it was a rallied home game for a Thursday night game. 1922 01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,559 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no doubt. Let me ask you a question 1923 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:12,240 Speaker 5: that Steeler fans probably will never ever, you know, want 1924 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:16,479 Speaker 5: to talk about her here? Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin's been 1925 01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:18,840 Speaker 5: around a long time, had great success. I mean, hell 1926 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:23,920 Speaker 5: of a football coach, unbelievable human being. He's He's been 1927 01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:27,519 Speaker 5: a credit to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization, the National Football 1928 01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:31,839 Speaker 5: League all over the world. Do you think Mike Tomlin, 1929 01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:37,520 Speaker 5: the Rudy Family, Pittsburgh organization, do you think they're considering 1930 01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:39,679 Speaker 5: moving on from Mike Tomlin? 1931 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,439 Speaker 16: I would say don't. I don't think so right now. 1932 01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:48,240 Speaker 8: I think that's something that when you look at just 1933 01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:51,519 Speaker 8: the track record him being really the only coach to 1934 01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 8: go as long as he has of never having a 1935 01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,880 Speaker 8: losing record. I know people kind of play and say, 1936 01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:56,720 Speaker 8: but what does that mean? 1937 01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,040 Speaker 16: You know, if you can't wait to. 1938 01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,519 Speaker 8: Play it, I said, but at the end of the day, 1939 01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,880 Speaker 8: you know, success and continued success in that department means 1940 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:06,200 Speaker 8: you're never in that position. 1941 01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:08,800 Speaker 16: And I think you know, his his skill. 1942 01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 8: In his coaching is when it's been in those tough 1943 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,960 Speaker 8: situations when you haven't had a roster that should have 1944 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:14,040 Speaker 8: been five hundred, and you. 1945 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:15,000 Speaker 16: Still find a way. 1946 01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:16,680 Speaker 8: And when we look around. 1947 01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,800 Speaker 16: This league, right we look at what the Jets, we 1948 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,040 Speaker 16: look at you know, the Saints. 1949 01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 8: We look at all these the Carolinas, right we look 1950 01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:27,120 Speaker 8: at these other wanders to have constant, massive turnover and 1951 01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:31,479 Speaker 8: they don't give coaches time to really mature get their 1952 01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:32,400 Speaker 8: system implemented. 1953 01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:33,679 Speaker 16: We see what's going on down. 1954 01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,599 Speaker 8: In Miami right now, right there's many points and numbers 1955 01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,439 Speaker 8: they put up, they still can't win. And you see 1956 01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:40,680 Speaker 8: Mike McDaniel's struggling and he's probably not going to make 1957 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:42,439 Speaker 8: it to the end of the year. It's like there's 1958 01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:45,559 Speaker 8: something to be said for that continue tried tested in 1959 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,839 Speaker 8: true mentality. Because the Steelers have only had three coaches 1960 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:52,400 Speaker 8: since nineteen sixty nine, you know there's something for that, 1961 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:56,000 Speaker 8: and that stability is what they try and breed. But 1962 01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,439 Speaker 8: I think, you know, for the Steelers organization, like especially 1963 01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:01,000 Speaker 8: this year, you want to see more consistency. But I 1964 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:04,400 Speaker 8: think four and two still in a very good position 1965 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,839 Speaker 8: considering what the rest of the vision looks like, especially 1966 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 8: when you're thinking about where Baltimore and where Cleveland are sitting. 1967 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,920 Speaker 8: You know, you'd rather be in this position than on 1968 01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:13,400 Speaker 8: the other. 1969 01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:13,760 Speaker 16: Side of that. 1970 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:17,160 Speaker 8: So I look at they're ready to necessarily move on 1971 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:19,280 Speaker 8: from that. I think a lot of people, you know, 1972 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,799 Speaker 8: chirp and especially a lot of the national media folks 1973 01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:25,960 Speaker 8: just want to see something different because they're tired of 1974 01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,680 Speaker 8: seeing this and you know, just like the Belichick effect, right, 1975 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:32,120 Speaker 8: but it took Belichick having to lose Tom Brady have 1976 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:34,920 Speaker 8: those losing seasons before they made a decision, and the 1977 01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 8: Steelers have made it work with six different starting quarterbacks 1978 01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:39,360 Speaker 8: over the last three years and still made the play 1979 01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:39,800 Speaker 8: for easy. 1980 01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,600 Speaker 3: It's crazy, hey, Maxim I appreciates you so much for 1981 01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 3: giving us a few minutes, brother, and keep getting continuing 1982 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 3: on that goal. 1983 01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 4: Man, you look good.

So you know I right, You know, it 1989 01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:05,720 Speaker 8: definitely isn't the quite inkst that I have towards Baltimore 1990 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:09,719 Speaker 8: and Cleveland. You know, Cincinnati outside of when we play, 1991 01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 8: is a team that I still still. 1992 01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,840 Speaker 16: Have a fond thought of. 1993 01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:17,280 Speaker 3: One of the best defensive linemen that ever put on 1994 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 3: the seventy nine in this. 1995 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,439 Speaker 4: Building, I would say that for sure, brother. 1996 01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:21,000 Speaker 5: He could play. 1997 01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 3: Man. 1998 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,639 Speaker 5: He was a stun my man, Max Starks. 1999 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:26,120 Speaker 4: Everybody, thank you so much, brother, Thanks for. 2000 01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,960 Speaker 16: Having my pleasure.

And it was what 2294 01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:16,160 Speaker 3: a mindset is about. 2295 01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:16,479 Speaker 4: You know. 2296 01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:19,200 Speaker 3: It's like, man, you got to think about not getting 2297 01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:22,360 Speaker 3: there but winning that and getting that there. Where did 2298 01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 3: that positive and that focus come from? 2299 01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:24,600 Speaker 4: You. 2300 01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:26,479 Speaker 3: Was there somebody along the way to kind of say, 2301 01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:28,240 Speaker 3: hey man, you gotta think like this. 2302 01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:34,640 Speaker 2: I think I would probably say probably Kenny Clerk. I 2303 01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:42,599 Speaker 2: remember it was my it was my rookie year. We 2304 01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:43,840 Speaker 2: went thirteen to three. 2305 01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:44,360 Speaker 5: Wow. 2306 01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:50,360 Speaker 2: And we had the first round by and we lost 2307 01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:58,880 Speaker 2: by field though, And that the whole first the whole 2308 01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,479 Speaker 2: first round, the whole while car around. There were three 2309 01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:04,400 Speaker 2: there were three to four games won by a field goal. 2310 01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:05,040 Speaker 5: Wow. 2311 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 2: And literally I was telling myself that whole week that 2312 01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,040 Speaker 2: I don't want to be a team that wins that 2313 01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,680 Speaker 2: loses by a field goal, because it's like it's the 2314 01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:18,680 Speaker 2: most annoying waiver to lose it's by a field goal, 2315 01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:21,440 Speaker 2: because it's like it's one of the hardest things to stop. 2316 01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:26,360 Speaker 2: So and then we had a mishap right before halftime 2317 01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:32,000 Speaker 2: and they scored. They recovered, they blocked our punt and 2318 01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:35,120 Speaker 2: recovered the ball and then kicked the field goal, and 2319 01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,600 Speaker 2: then we going to halftime. And then I think that 2320 01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:40,919 Speaker 2: game was I think the game score was like, uh, 2321 01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:45,600 Speaker 2: like it was like nine, like six. It was like 2322 01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:47,800 Speaker 2: a weird like game. So it was a hard game. 2323 01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:51,559 Speaker 2: And then at the end of the game I went 2324 01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:54,519 Speaker 2: out onto the field to you know, to shake hands 2325 01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:57,559 Speaker 2: with everybody. And I look out the left corner of 2326 01:51:57,560 --> 01:51:59,400 Speaker 2: my I mean the right corner of my eye, and 2327 01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:02,840 Speaker 2: I see case he's just running into the locker room. 2328 01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:05,760 Speaker 2: So I go straight into the locker room after him, 2329 01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:08,479 Speaker 2: and I'm like, and I asked him in the hallway, 2330 01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:10,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, what's up, Like you know why you didn't 2331 01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:13,640 Speaker 2: shake hands? He was just like he was like that's like, 2332 01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,840 Speaker 2: he was like, it's about sportsmanship. But at the same time, 2333 01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:20,320 Speaker 2: like we're trying to get somewhere, and like this is 2334 01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,479 Speaker 2: a playoff game, so the feeling is different. It's like 2335 01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:27,519 Speaker 2: it's harder to to congratulate the other team that just 2336 01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:30,280 Speaker 2: stopped you and the point of winning the Super Bowl 2337 01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:33,400 Speaker 2: or getting your chance to get to the dance, so 2338 01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:36,960 Speaker 2: like it's a different connect It's like and then it 2339 01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:40,519 Speaker 2: made me think and realized, like, Okay, we are in 2340 01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,880 Speaker 2: the NFL. We are playing this game, but it's not 2341 01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:46,240 Speaker 2: for a long a long time. So like, if you 2342 01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:47,599 Speaker 2: want to win the super Bowl, you got to win 2343 01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:48,080 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. 2344 01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:52,480 Speaker 3: Now, you gotta win the super Bowl. 2345 01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:56,560 Speaker 2: So it wasn't that like he was being disrespectful to 2346 01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:59,720 Speaker 2: the other team. It was just like I'm more disappointed 2347 01:52:59,880 --> 01:53:03,160 Speaker 2: that we lost and and what I did that is 2348 01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:05,680 Speaker 2: like it's taken over to the point that like I 2349 01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:12,240 Speaker 2: can't be like, are you what I'm saying exactly? Like, yeah, So. 2350 01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:18,559 Speaker 5: What coach at the any level, elementary school, junior, high school, 2351 01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:23,280 Speaker 5: high school, college, NFL had the biggest impact on teaching you, 2352 01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,760 Speaker 5: not necessarily just your football coach, but you played basketball, 2353 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:29,200 Speaker 5: and I don't know how much baseball you played, but 2354 01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:33,200 Speaker 5: I've played a bunch of sports, and you know at 2355 01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:37,840 Speaker 5: those levels, be it football, basketball, baseball, shot put, discuss whatever. 2356 01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:38,360 Speaker 2: Wrestling. 2357 01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:40,479 Speaker 5: Uh I bet you would have been a hell of 2358 01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:41,560 Speaker 5: wrestled you wrestling? 2359 01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:44,360 Speaker 2: Uh No, they wouldn't. 2360 01:53:43,439 --> 01:53:49,120 Speaker 5: Would I can believe that what what coach had had 2361 01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:50,160 Speaker 5: the biggest impact on you? 2362 01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:59,800 Speaker 2: Uh my already I wouldn't said my high school coach. 2363 01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,680 Speaker 2: When I got to college.
