Speaker 1: Wow, this is Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network
Speaker 1: pay Corps. Pay Corps proud to be the official HR
Speaker 1: software provider of the Cincinnati Bengals. Kettering elth best Care
Speaker 1: for the Best Fans, Kettling ELF, Official healthcare provider of
Speaker 1: US Cincinnati Bengals. This is seven hundred WLW, the home
Speaker 1: of the best Bengals coverage.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it going on this Monday night,
Speaker 2: three full hours about to unfold. Of It's Monday, it's
Speaker 2: Bengals line, and if it's a win, it's a victory Monday.
Speaker 2: And we like victory Mondays. Yesterday thirty seven fourteen Bengals
Speaker 2: over the Cardinals. Next up, the Browns come to town at
Speaker 2: pay Corps one o'clock kickoff on Sunday. We've got so
Speaker 2: many things to get to between now and then, coaches, players, analysis,
Speaker 2: breakdown and more and Dave Lapham. They took on a
Speaker 2: beaten up and beaten down Arizona team and did exactly
Speaker 2: what you would like to see them do. The offense
Speaker 2: was clicking on all cylinders. The defense was forcing three
Speaker 2: and outs at punts left and right. There was fun
Speaker 2: to he had with Cody Ford. And everybody who was
Speaker 2: active yesterday at least a snap I had. I counted
Speaker 2: twenty two players on offense got snaps, twenty three on
Speaker 2: defense got snaps, plus special teams. There was fun had
Speaker 2: by all yesterday.
Speaker 3: I think that sums it up. Lance. I think that's
Speaker 3: a great analysis, with the major point being everybody had fun.
Speaker 3: Cody Ford had a great time, man, you know, to
Speaker 3: get involved. He's he's almost like Fridge Junior. Now you know,
Speaker 3: he'll go down in Bengals Laura as William the refrigerator
Speaker 3: of Perry Uh number two.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: But really, I thought that they played a lot of players,
Speaker 3: like you said, and I think part of that is
Speaker 3: there's evaluation going on. You know, the game got out
Speaker 3: of control to the point where the Bengals had a lead,
Speaker 3: they felt real comfortable. List so they said, Okay, this
Speaker 3: is a good opportunity to get guys on the field,
Speaker 3: get them game reps, game snaps. You know, we think
Speaker 3: we know if they've improved a little bit because we've
Speaker 3: been monitoring their progress at practice. And but you know,
Speaker 3: game snaps are different. Game speed is different. You have
Speaker 3: to make quicker decisions and you know, are you going
Speaker 3: to have lapses in memory and in terms of assignment
Speaker 3: or adjustments you have to make and to get those
Speaker 3: guys those snaps, they're extremely valuable, and you know they're
Speaker 3: probably hoping they can get the same thing done against
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns, although the Browns man playing pretty well.
Speaker 3: Upset in the Pittsburgh Steelers, like they did. You go
Speaker 3: there and I think it was in Pittsburgh, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: You know, you go to Pittsburgh and you knock the
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers off, who have playoff aspirations and they're trying
Speaker 3: to get as high a seed as they possibly can.
Speaker 3: That's a heck of a win. I mean, Kevin Stefanski
Speaker 3: has to be proud of all of his coaches, as
Speaker 3: players and everybody involved there. And we'll get into a
Speaker 3: lot of that, a lot more of that later, but
Speaker 3: that that's a big victory. But you know, the Bengals,
Speaker 3: the last two opponents are combined six wins and twenty
Speaker 3: four losses. So you got you gotta hope. Now, you know,
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals they fall to to four and twelve.
Speaker 3: The you know the Cleveland Browns, Hey, you know they
Speaker 3: they they get it, they get it done. That's a
Speaker 3: that's a big win for them down the stretch. And
Speaker 3: I think, honestly, if the Bengals can win three in
Speaker 3: a row lance to end the year twenty twenty five season,
Speaker 3: at least the foundations being laid for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: You know, it's okay, we didn't go well. You know,
Speaker 3: we had a big lull, We won two big you know,
Speaker 3: things fell apart injury biggest reason. Didn't play well enough
Speaker 3: to get a playoff seed and to advance in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: But okay, we finished strong. You know, let's give them
Speaker 3: a little credit for that. They didn't quit, They didn't
Speaker 3: quit on each other. Nobody threw in the towel. Everybody
Speaker 3: played hard till the end of the season. And you know,
Speaker 3: they're I think they're hoping that this twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: finish carries over to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: And we talked about it a week ago, sitting in
Speaker 2: these very seats, when you're playing a team that's wounded
Speaker 2: and down, like the Cardinals, jump on them early. Bengals
Speaker 2: win the toss, take the football, and March twelve place
Speaker 2: many two yards put a touchdown on the board. You
Speaker 2: could not have scripted it any better, absolutely, Lance, And
Speaker 2: you know then then three and out yep for Arizona.
Speaker 2: And then the Bengals got down the field again. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they're at fourteen nothing before Arizona knows what hit him.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, their heads are spinning collectively. It's
Speaker 2: like geez.
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden you have to approach
Speaker 3: the game a lot differently. You know, down fourteen nothing
Speaker 3: on the road that quickly, that that takes the wind
Speaker 3: out of your sales. And the Arizona Cardinals had to
Speaker 3: make some adjustments and the Cincinnati Bengals just poured it on.
Speaker 2: Let's pick up a reaction immediately after the game. Here's
Speaker 2: Dave with coach Zach Taylor.
Speaker 3: Your offense was extraordinary today, I mean really really good,
Speaker 3: high percentage of the time, scoring points, red zone, unbelievably
Speaker 3: effective in the red zone, dominant in the red zone,
Speaker 3: on third down, dominant on third down. Those are two
Speaker 3: big areas to be dominant. How proud of your what
Speaker 3: your offense was able to do out there today?
Speaker 4: Yeah, really proud.
Speaker 5: You know, just scoring touchdowns on six I mean scoring
Speaker 5: points on six of our first seven drives, and really
Speaker 5: the field goal was we had the ball in the
Speaker 5: minus two and worked our way out of there and
Speaker 5: we're able to get that field goal. So you know,
Speaker 5: that's what we intend to do when we take the field.
Speaker 5: And defense, obviously, they're a great job getting us the
Speaker 5: ball back quickly often times and getting some stops and
Speaker 5: so I was just really proud of our team in
Speaker 5: all three phases.
Speaker 6: Today.
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is playing some phenomenal football. Quarterback rating last
Speaker 3: week of one forty six plus quarterback rating this week
Speaker 3: of one thirty six plus against you know, pretty good
Speaker 3: defense as well, put together good schemes, play hard. I mean,
Speaker 3: they're solid defensive units. What makes Joe Burrow so great?
Speaker 5: Oh, he's an elite process or elite competitor, elite accuracy,
Speaker 5: incredible athleticism for the position. And I think what people
Speaker 5: won't really understand is the level of difficulty on the
Speaker 5: third downs and the second and ten pluses today that
Speaker 5: face when you face Arizona.
Speaker 4: It's unique packages that really attack you.
Speaker 5: And he was stown cold in terms of making the
Speaker 5: protection checks and going where the ball needed to go,
Speaker 5: and that really allowed us to convert early in the game,
Speaker 5: where if you don't convert those then it's a whole
Speaker 5: different ballgame. So huge credit to him, his communication and
Speaker 5: his ability to process first.
Speaker 3: Two drives, touchdowns, fourteen points. What is to do for
Speaker 3: you as a play caller and what does it do
Speaker 3: for Joe Burrow and your offense and your defensive football
Speaker 3: team to get off to that kind of start.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's important. I mean, that's why we took the
Speaker 5: ball in the coin toss. We win the coin toss,
Speaker 5: we take the ball. We want to establish a leader early.
Speaker 5: It's critical that we put pressure on them traveling across
Speaker 5: the country, you know, with a little bit of how
Speaker 5: their season's gone. You want to take away any hope
Speaker 5: early on. And I thought our offense did a great
Speaker 5: job of finishing with a touchdown the first drive. In
Speaker 5: the defense getting a three and out was a great
Speaker 5: way to start this game.
Speaker 3: Off forty five points. Last week score forty yep. But
Speaker 3: it seems like every time you hit the field now
Speaker 3: down the stretch, he's going to score forty points for more.
Speaker 3: What is it? What has been unlocked is what is
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow? The skill players, what's happening offensively that just
Speaker 3: could not be found, you know, earlier in the season.
Speaker 5: We have unbelievable chemistry amongst the coaches and players. I
Speaker 5: think it's it's the closest to you, and it can
Speaker 5: be offensively in the NFL. You know, just the way
Speaker 5: that players understand what we're trying to get out of them.
Speaker 5: I think our coaching stats is a great job, but
Speaker 5: playing to the strengths a lot of these guys. We
Speaker 5: can attack teams in a lot of different ways, and
Speaker 5: so there's just a two way confidence between the coaches
Speaker 5: and the players that we're going to go out there
Speaker 5: and score when we get the opportunities, and really proud
Speaker 5: of the way the guys attack this game.
Speaker 3: Well, it's like Bengal fans and probably players and coaches.
Speaker 3: I don't want the season end. You guys are playing
Speaker 3: such great football. It's entertaining. I mean, it's fun to
Speaker 3: watch this football team go out and perform, and that's
Speaker 3: what it's all about. Coach, how how much are you
Speaker 3: looking forward to twenty twenty six?
Speaker 5: Well, I want to finish this off the right way.
Speaker 5: We have an awesome chance in front of our home
Speaker 5: fans to get another Divisional win and finish forward to
Speaker 5: the division and Sweet Cleveland and finished this thing the
Speaker 5: right way, and then and then we'll focus on all
Speaker 5: that other stuff next year. But right now, the important
Speaker 5: thing is that we finished this off at home in
Speaker 5: front of our fans the right way.
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor immediately after the game still ahead, we'll hear
Speaker 2: from Joe Burrow busy first out. We're always busy. We
Speaker 2: got Joe Burrow ahead, Chase Brown ahead, Dax Hill ahead,
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and more. We're breaking it all down on
Speaker 2: a victory Monday, Bengals over the Cardinals. Thanks for joining us,
Speaker 2: Hang out and relax. We've got you covered for the
Speaker 2: next three hours. It's Bengals line of the Bengals Radio
Speaker 2: Network and seven hundred WLW and ESPN fifteen thirty. We're
Speaker 2: rolling right along in this Monday night talking Bengals and
Speaker 2: Bengals lineup the Bengals Radio Network, seven hundred WLW at
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty Lands but Cantleister Dave Lapham thirty seven
Speaker 2: to fourteen. The final numbers Bengals beat the Cardinals. Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow was twenty four of thirty one, three hundred and
Speaker 2: five yards, two touchdowns quarterback rating. Look at those numbers,
Speaker 2: one twenty nine point one here's QB one after the game.
Speaker 7: Kind of weird here today.
Speaker 8: Yeah, plan because he just you've said for years at
Speaker 8: you're open, you'll the ball.
Speaker 7: Yeah I was.
Speaker 9: I was thinking Jamar and then safety played it pretty good,
Speaker 9: so I just progressed outside to Cody. I threw it
Speaker 9: to him early early in the week in practice, kind
Speaker 9: of as a joke, but that's just how the play
Speaker 9: played out.
Speaker 10: What were your what was your reaction when they said
Speaker 10: we we gotta play for Cody maybe before Cody, like
Speaker 10: you said, I could played with Cody in the game, but.
Speaker 7: I'm always for fun stuff like that. Number one, you know,
Speaker 7: defense kind.
Speaker 9: Of keep him off balanced. Number two is just fun.
Speaker 9: I was going to Jamar first, but then I checked
Speaker 9: Drew didn't work out.
Speaker 7: I'm outside of Cody. What did you think of Cody
Speaker 7: with off side? What do you think of Cody with ball?
Speaker 7: His hands couldn't believe I was watching but he was sick.
Speaker 8: Do you ever see him play basketball or it was.
Speaker 6: Nope?
Speaker 7: I have not.
Speaker 8: Would you think the offense is a holiday?
Speaker 9: I thought we were pretty pretty productive, pretty efficient. I
Speaker 9: thought we were I thought Chase Brown was great.
Speaker 7: He's been great all year.
Speaker 9: He made plays when we had two, but stayed on schedule,
Speaker 9: converted third downs.
Speaker 7: I thought it was a efficient performance.
Speaker 5: Cody just told us he was a tight end in
Speaker 5: middle school and freshman year.
Speaker 7: You see the roots that I do. I do, I do.
Speaker 9: Long long time ago, but I do.
Speaker 11: I thought that Chase Brown he was phenomenal to close
Speaker 11: last season.
Speaker 7: But how have you even seen him take the next
Speaker 7: step this year?
Speaker 9: Yeah, he just keeps getting better. He last year he
Speaker 9: hit a level that you know, once you hit that level,
Speaker 9: then you're just continuous improvement in all areas of your game.
Speaker 9: There was he didn't have any weaknesses last year, and
Speaker 9: he just stepped up a notch this year.
Speaker 7: It's been fun to watch the.
Speaker 2: Third and twenty good exact twice.
Speaker 8: And when you gave it to him on the third and.
Speaker 10: Twenty, are you thinking age take it and get it
Speaker 10: as supposed to throw the wing.
Speaker 7: If you can't, what's going for you? Yeah?
Speaker 9: We just called the screen there, just trying to get
Speaker 9: it out of our hands. And you know, he made
Speaker 9: a play, got us and filled orange, got his points.
Speaker 9: That was a big play in the game over the
Speaker 9: last two weeks. In the third quarter, Chase Brown House
Speaker 9: combined five touchdowns.
Speaker 8: Is there any rhyme or reasons that you think.
Speaker 7: No, that's just how it plays out, Joe.
Speaker 5: There's always a lot of meetingless football.
Speaker 8: Is this What meaning does this.
Speaker 7: Kind of game have when you have this conderformance, you know,
Speaker 7: and do what you'all did today.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's you know, every time we go out there,
Speaker 9: you know, we're putting our bodies on the line and
Speaker 9: going out and trying to prove.
Speaker 7: Ourselves in front of the world.
Speaker 9: Playoffs are out of the question, obviously, but anytime you
Speaker 9: step foot out there, you're playing for pride, playing for
Speaker 9: your guys and trying to execute and trying to put
Speaker 9: good stuff on tape.
Speaker 11: Is there a part of y'all that wants to send
Speaker 11: a message that, hey, we might be out of it
Speaker 11: this year, but next year we feel like we can
Speaker 11: do something.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 12: I mean?
Speaker 9: Every every year is so new new players, new team,
Speaker 9: new schemes.
Speaker 7: We're just trying to go on play well right now.
Speaker 3: I know you're not.
Speaker 11: Watching every snap of the defense. You're looking all of
Speaker 11: those things, But for them to perform the way they
Speaker 11: did against the good offense today, what does that mean?
Speaker 9: Yeah, we tackled well, we stopped the run. And when
Speaker 9: you do those two things, then you get to third down,
Speaker 9: and you know anything can happen on third down. So
Speaker 9: the key is stopping the run. And we've done that
Speaker 9: for for several weeks.
Speaker 7: In a row now. It's been fun to watch out.
Speaker 11: You see Miles develop change, have you in practice? Obviously
Speaker 11: he's been far more productive of the past few months.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's always He's always been a good practice player.
Speaker 9: Practice is hard, just impacting the game. And like I
Speaker 9: said earlier this week, I don't I don't know anything
Speaker 9: about his specific gap response abilities on any specific plays.
Speaker 9: I just see him around the football, around the quarterback,
Speaker 9: making plays, hitting people, impacting the game in a lot
Speaker 9: of different ways.
Speaker 2: It's been funne Launch Joe Burrow was dealing yesterday and Dave,
Speaker 2: you've used the term how good he is at processing?
Speaker 2: And from a computer standpoint, the the CPU on my
Speaker 2: computer is the central processing unit. Explain Joe Burrow's processing
Speaker 2: and how good he is at doing it.
Speaker 6: He is.
Speaker 3: I think he's the best I've seen Lance. He is.
Speaker 3: He's phenomenal. I've been around some quarterbacks that had brilliant
Speaker 3: football IQ like Kenny Anderson, Boomer size and the like.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure around the league there's been you know,
Speaker 3: a myriad of quarterbacks that you know, players, teammates, opponents, coaches.
Speaker 3: Opposing coaches say, oh, this guy is brilliant. That's what
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is. Joe Burrow is brilliant. Joe Burrow when
Speaker 3: he's he's always look at him. When he breaks the
Speaker 3: hot on and he sets up in the shotgunner, he's
Speaker 3: he's under getting ready to get understand. His eyes are everywhere, man,
Speaker 3: his eyes are darting around. He is, he's absorbing everything
Speaker 3: he can. He is he's got great peripheral vision, and
Speaker 3: he is like checking out the entire football field. He's
Speaker 3: looking at not only in the secondary. He's not only
Speaker 3: looking at a guy in the secondary. And there may
Speaker 3: be you know, they may during the course of the
Speaker 3: week have determined that where the safety tips, you know,
Speaker 3: when he's blitzing, or the safety tilts a little bit
Speaker 3: when he's going to be in cover you know, cover two.
Speaker 3: Uh so watch for that, watch for that. He watches
Speaker 3: for those little things, but those are minor compared to everything.
Speaker 3: And he is, like you said, is like computer chip
Speaker 3: processing processing. And then he he says, Okay, here's the play,
Speaker 3: the play was that was called. Here's the area of
Speaker 3: the field that we're attacking. How am I going to
Speaker 3: attack it? What do I need to do? How do
Speaker 3: we how do I put my team in the in
Speaker 3: the best possible position to win this snap and to
Speaker 3: win the you know, the the series, to win the court,
Speaker 3: win the half, win the game. He's always thinking, He's
Speaker 3: always thinking ahead. He never looks back. That's the other
Speaker 3: thing about him that I think is part of his mentality,
Speaker 3: his process. When he does make a mistake, if he
Speaker 3: throws an interception or screws something up, makes a poor read,
Speaker 3: throws the ball where he shouldn't have, he gets over it. Man,
Speaker 3: he puts it away. It doesn't linger. He's one of
Speaker 3: those guys And Okay, well I screwed that up. I
Speaker 3: sucked on that snap. But I'm not going to suck
Speaker 3: at anymore snaps. I'm gonna play you know, outstanding football
Speaker 3: the rest of the way down the stretch. And that
Speaker 3: I think that's what makes him a great leader. Is
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got unbelievable physical and mental talent, but
Speaker 3: his ability to learn to digest, regurgitate, accurately and read things,
Speaker 3: read defenses is second to none, Dave.
Speaker 2: The last two weeks, if Joe Burrow forty nine of
Speaker 2: sixty three, he's seventy six touchdowns, no interceptions, quarterback rating
Speaker 2: of one thirty nine. And oh, by the way, he's
Speaker 2: basically sat out all the fourth quarter of the last
Speaker 2: two weeks, so all those numbers are in six quarters
Speaker 2: of action. He's been unbelievable, he really has.
Speaker 3: I mean, in a game and a half to have
Speaker 3: six touchdowns, no interceptions and completing seventy eight percent.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: It was a strike shortened season. The nineteen eighty two season,
Speaker 3: Kenny Anderson completed seventy one percent of his passes, close
Speaker 3: to seventy two percent for a season now again shortened season.
Speaker 3: But when you do that for four six eight games,
Speaker 3: like you know, like these guys can do and are doing,
Speaker 3: it is remarkable. It's it's amazing how accurate Joe Burrow
Speaker 3: is and Kenny Anderson was the same way. I remember
Speaker 3: Kenny would ask me, you know, let's go out a
Speaker 3: little early. I want to throw, and uh, I want
Speaker 3: to I'm going to, you know, work on my accuracy.
Speaker 3: Naval right showal at boom balls right there, running your
Speaker 3: nose between your He was pinpoint with his accuracy, as
Speaker 3: is Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2: All right, here's what we're going to do. As we
Speaker 2: reached the bottom of the hour on seven hundred wlwinue
Speaker 2: on with Dan Horden, Steve Logan, and you see basketball
Speaker 2: against Lipscomb. We will continue on with Bengals line until
Speaker 2: nine on ESPN fifteen thirty. So hoops on seven hundred
Speaker 2: football on ESPN fifteen thirty, and up next on Bengals Line,
Speaker 2: we'll hear from Chase Brown as we continue on seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW and ESPN fifteen thirty. We're rolling right along
Speaker 2: this Monday night, breaking down all things Bengals in the
Speaker 2: course of three hours that I had a Bengals line
Speaker 2: and the Bengals Radio network. In a ESPN fifteen thirty
Speaker 2: Lancemcalister hanging out with Dave Lapham. We've heard from Zach Taylor,
Speaker 2: We've heard from Joe Burrow. Let's talk about Chase Brown,
Speaker 2: who had another Chase Brown type day when it was
Speaker 2: all said and done, twenty two carries, one hundred and
Speaker 2: one yards in the ground, two touchdowns through the air,
Speaker 2: three catches for forty yards, including a nineteen yard swing pass.
Speaker 2: Here's Chase after the game with Dave.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about your game? How do you
Speaker 3: feel like you've been playing.
Speaker 13: I've been playing well, making the most opportunities I come.
Speaker 12: On with my way.
Speaker 13: But most importantly, like like you said, being able to
Speaker 13: receive the ball and then step up and protection is
Speaker 13: I don't know. We take pride in and this offense,
Speaker 13: especially in our own so I mean like Samaj did today,
Speaker 13: like he stepped up and knocks somebody on there butt.
Speaker 12: That's like a touchdown as.
Speaker 13: Far as energy wise, and how we feel about that.
Speaker 12: So feel really good about how we're playing.
Speaker 13: Just got to finish off the season good and bring
Speaker 13: that energy into next year.
Speaker 3: Samaja in yourself that check sept It's got some juice, man.
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys can do everything. Both of you
Speaker 3: are complete.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: Samaji like yourself, runs the ball very effectively like you do.
Speaker 3: Is a good receiver, runs good routes, nil stick his
Speaker 3: nose in there and plaster linebackers and defensive backs as well.
Speaker 3: He definitely will. What does it do for this offense
Speaker 3: when both of you and the backfield at the same time.
Speaker 13: I think it gives us a boost. I mean we're
Speaker 13: both a threat. You can't really predict what we're doing. Like,
Speaker 13: even if I'm out there on third down, doesn't mean
Speaker 13: it's going to be a run or a pas. I
Speaker 13: can so step up their protection. And likewise, if you
Speaker 13: know some AJ's in there in early downs, it's it's
Speaker 13: not like you know, it's not like we're just going
Speaker 13: to pass the ball.
Speaker 12: He can run the ball as well.
Speaker 13: So I think we're both versatile players and as far
Speaker 13: as what we bring to the table, and they keeps
Speaker 13: defenses on their heels.
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow phenomenal quarterback.
Speaker 6: I mean one of one.
Speaker 3: Obviously he's MVP. I mean when he gets enough snaps
Speaker 3: every year, he's going to be an MVP. There's no
Speaker 3: no question about it. How different is this offense when
Speaker 3: Joe Burrows at the helmet quarterback cletally different?
Speaker 13: I mean when Joe's playing and he brings it, brings
Speaker 13: a different energy.
Speaker 12: To the locker room, to the stadium.
Speaker 13: Like, so you feel that going in the games he
Speaker 13: means a lot.
Speaker 12: And you know we've missed him this whole year, but
Speaker 12: the way that he's been playing the especially with the
Speaker 12: season and how it's been.
Speaker 13: Like, I mean, he could have easily just called the quits,
Speaker 13: but you know he's.
Speaker 12: A competitor and he wants to come back and he
Speaker 12: was always trying to prove himself.
Speaker 13: So that's a guy that you know, you want to
Speaker 13: play behind and will push you to play hard.
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase and t Higgins pretty good receivers. Man, that's
Speaker 3: a pretty good duo. There are right, pretty good duo,
Speaker 3: as good as there is in the in the National
Speaker 3: Football League. What does it do for the rest of
Speaker 3: the offensive skill players to have those two guys doing
Speaker 3: their thing out in the field.
Speaker 13: Yeah, they demand a lot of attention. Having two number
Speaker 13: one receivers and the best quarterback in the world, I
Speaker 13: mean demands a lot of They demand a lot of attention.
Speaker 13: So it opens up, you know, space for guys like
Speaker 13: myself and you know, Dre and samaj and all the
Speaker 13: playmakers that we have in this offense.
Speaker 3: What about your defense. They've been playing pretty well. I
Speaker 3: mean their graft has gone up the last month or so.
Speaker 3: They put together some pretty good football games, and I
Speaker 3: mean they didn't let Arizona do much of anything. They
Speaker 3: kept them out of the end zone. Big time. What
Speaker 3: they did on third down was extraordinary. What they did
Speaker 3: in the red zone was extraordinary. What about your defense today?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, you know, coach Connor Bapa stat in
Speaker 13: the locker room within the game talking about three thirteen
Speaker 13: third downs that's what that's all they were able to
Speaker 13: execute today on So that's huge, giving us the ball back,
Speaker 13: allowing us to go out there and.
Speaker 14: Put points on the boy.
Speaker 13: So that's complimentary football with there.
Speaker 3: And then finally you got a cup. You got another
Speaker 3: game left. You got two in a row, now, two
Speaker 3: wins in a row. You've got the Cleveland Browns who
Speaker 3: just had a big upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3: They did beat them, Yeah, they knocked them off. So
Speaker 3: they'll be coming in here on a bit of a high.
Speaker 6: Obviously.
Speaker 3: What does it mean for this football team to win
Speaker 3: three in a row to finish the season.
Speaker 13: It's finnas strong. I mean, it's just for everybody in
Speaker 13: the locker room. You want to play for your brothers,
Speaker 13: So why not finish the season on a win and
Speaker 13: bring that energy in the next thing.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Appreciate your time. You had a hell of
Speaker 3: a season, My man, keep working Sir.
Speaker 2: Chase Brown after another big productive day both catching the
Speaker 2: ball and rushing the ball and David. Usually when you
Speaker 2: play video games, there's a button. There's like a turbo
Speaker 2: button or a power boost button, and I love it
Speaker 2: when Chase Brown gets the ball, it's almost like you
Speaker 2: hit that button and he boomm. And yesterday he been
Speaker 2: tossed in a jump cut off of one. I'm like,
Speaker 2: wait minute, video games don't do that. He was something
Speaker 2: again yesterday he really was.
Speaker 3: I mean when when you look at Chase Brown, such
Speaker 3: a valuable asset to the offense because you got a
Speaker 3: complete running back there. You got a running back that
Speaker 3: can run the football well. Like you mentioned last, the explosiveness,
Speaker 3: I mean, his first step quickness is that what you're
Speaker 3: talking that video game. It's like boom, He's He's at
Speaker 3: close high full speed, if not full speed, in a
Speaker 3: step or two. It is unbelievable how quickly he can accelerate.
Speaker 3: And that I think defensive players underestimate that. They they
Speaker 3: misjudge it, they misstime it. You know, all of a
Speaker 3: sudden point, he's up on them before they realize it,
Speaker 3: and he'll power through them. I mean rarely does he
Speaker 3: get hit and knocked backwards. When he gets hit, he's
Speaker 3: either falling forward or he's no gain, you know. I
Speaker 3: mean it's not he's not getting any pick on any
Speaker 3: additional yardage. But I'm telling you, man, the guy, he
Speaker 3: really he lowers his hips, sinks his hips, bends his knees.
Speaker 3: He's got great flexibility the way he can run the football,
Speaker 3: and then the way he can put his foot in
Speaker 3: the ground and change direction. I mean on a dime,
Speaker 3: cut on a dime, and he's playing his best football,
Speaker 3: it really is down the stretch of the season, and
Speaker 3: he's putting together one hundred yard scrimmage days time after time.
Speaker 3: In terms of yards rushing, in yards receiving. He's a
Speaker 3: complete back because that's the other thing that he does.
Speaker 3: Runs great routes out of the backfield, and he's a
Speaker 3: very sure catch. Joe Burrow has all the confidence in
Speaker 3: the world. And Chase Brown catching the football in fact,
Speaker 3: I mean it looks a little fuzzy or doesn't like
Speaker 3: what he sees down, he'll check it down to Chase
Speaker 3: Brown and say, okay, second and five, second and four,
Speaker 3: let's live for that down. You know, Let's not waste
Speaker 3: it down here, so and then the final thing is
Speaker 3: he'll stick his nose right into him in on a linebacker,
Speaker 3: right in the guy's chest, and same thing, safety or
Speaker 3: whoever's trying to pressure Joe Burrow's quarterback. He's going to
Speaker 3: keep his quarterback clean at all costs.
Speaker 2: We're talking nine hundred and forty seven yards rushing. So
Speaker 2: he's got a chance for one thousand this coming nice
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Browns. He has sixty five catches. They've
Speaker 2: targeted him eighty two times this season for sixty five catches.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned it, Dave. That checkdown or that swing pass,
Speaker 2: that's lethal. I mean, sometimes it's almost unfair because the
Speaker 2: guys in space have no chance to bring down Chase
Speaker 2: Brown in some cases absolutely.
Speaker 3: I mean Paul Brown used to we had a running back,
Speaker 3: Essex Johnson, and Paul Brown used to say to Kenny Anderson,
Speaker 3: when you in the West Coast offense and the Bengals,
Speaker 3: it's not exactly the West Coast offense, but there are
Speaker 3: some principles there. And you know, Paul Bown would say,
Speaker 3: all right, if you don't have anything that you like
Speaker 3: down the football field, get it in Essex Johnson's hands,
Speaker 3: if he's swinging out of the backfield, that's like a
Speaker 3: long lateral. If it's a five yard hook down the
Speaker 3: football field, you should hit that ninety nine times out
Speaker 3: of one hundred. Get the ball in Essex Johnson's and
Speaker 3: we're advancing the ball, we're you know, moving the down
Speaker 3: in distance marker. So that's he's the kind of guy.
Speaker 3: In fact, he reminds me a little bit of Essex
Speaker 3: Johnson because built the same way, not you know, five nine,
Speaker 3: five ten, two hundred and fifteen, two hundred and twenty pounds,
Speaker 3: more powerful because of that build, more explosive and powerful
Speaker 3: than defenders realize. Uh, Chase Brown's gonna be around a
Speaker 3: long time.
Speaker 2: Still ahead, Let's flip the script to the defensive side
Speaker 2: of things here from Dax Hill. As we continue, He's
Speaker 2: Dave Lapham, I'm lancemacallister. We thank you for tagging along
Speaker 2: with us tonight it's Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio
Speaker 2: Network and ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Keep moving
Speaker 2: right along in this Monday night. It's a victory Monday.
Speaker 2: We love victory Monday's. Time flies when you're having fun
Speaker 2: with a thirty seven fourteen win over the Kurdles. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about the defense. Fourteen points allowed yesterday, one late
Speaker 2: drive I've and all around effort from the defense is
Speaker 2: the effort continues to ramp up, and certainly Dax Hill
Speaker 2: has been very good for this team. Let's hear from
Speaker 2: Dax after the game with Dan Horde.
Speaker 15: Dax, you had at least three pass breakups today, maybe more.
Speaker 15: How did you feel about your own performance today?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 6: I feel great.
Speaker 17: I mean, just came out fast and yeah, I'm just
Speaker 17: in a lot of good positions this week, and I
Speaker 17: felt like that was just a testament of the week
Speaker 17: that we had.
Speaker 3: On defense and practice.
Speaker 7: I felt like that kind of started throughout.
Speaker 17: The early in the week and showed today as a result.
Speaker 6: I love to win.
Speaker 15: So last week, the starting defense gave up fourteen before
Speaker 15: the Dolphins scored a late kind of garbage time touchdown.
Speaker 15: Today was seven until the Cardinals scored a late garbage
Speaker 15: time touchdown. How has that impacted the feeling of you
Speaker 15: guys on defense with the way that you've grown in
Speaker 15: the tail half of the season.
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, I mean really just you know, holding guys
Speaker 17: to a certain amount of points. I mean, I feel
Speaker 17: like if you know, if we start fast and hold
Speaker 17: them to you know, just a couple of points, and
Speaker 17: I feel like that'll bleed into like the second half.
Speaker 17: And I mean we had that one touchdown that we
Speaker 17: shouldn't have given up. But I felt like we came back,
Speaker 17: you know, in the second half, ready to you know,
Speaker 17: stop whatever that or stop whatever they were gonna do,
Speaker 17: and they didn't really do a whole lot. I mean,
Speaker 17: we had a lot of pressure on the quarterback, so
Speaker 17: we kind of just made it hard on them from
Speaker 17: the second half.
Speaker 15: With Jalen playing inside recently, you've been playing outside. I
Speaker 15: don't know that there are two outside corners playing better
Speaker 15: together right now than you and DJ. Do you feel
Speaker 15: that way?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 12: I mean I definitely.
Speaker 17: I mean he started the momentum out you know, early
Speaker 17: throughout the year, and you know he's.
Speaker 6: Still doing it.
Speaker 17: And you know, whenever I, h, you know, moved outside,
Speaker 17: I really just wanted to, you know, you know, uphill
Speaker 17: uphold the standard and just hold my own out there.
Speaker 14: So you felt like we Yeah, we kind of just been.
Speaker 12: Bouncing bouncing off each other the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 10: So it's been great for both of us.
Speaker 15: Tell me about what it was like to be a
Speaker 15: defensive player today. When Cody Ford made his twenty one
Speaker 15: yard catch, I.
Speaker 17: Was like, I mean, if I was out there on defense,
Speaker 17: I'm like, man, I'm playing I'm playing off I'm like,
Speaker 17: this guy is not getting the ball right now.
Speaker 12: He got the ball and that was like so surprising.
Speaker 12: But yeah, it was just funny just seeing that on
Speaker 12: the defense. I'm like, there's no.
Speaker 6: Way he's catching the ball.
Speaker 17: But man, we're just all excited on the sideline and
Speaker 17: happy before him his birthday.
Speaker 15: So why not won by twenty four last week? Twenty
Speaker 15: three this week? He got the Browns at home next week?
Speaker 15: What would a solid three game winning streak to end
Speaker 15: the season mean to.
Speaker 18: Everybody momentum to next year?
Speaker 17: You know, just ending on a good note, regardless of
Speaker 17: the record and the season that we had, And I
Speaker 17: think that's something you can work off of.
Speaker 15: So Ingrat's in a great performance.
Speaker 6: Appreciated me.
Speaker 2: Dax Hill after the game, and Dave. Every time I
Speaker 2: heard Dax name called or watched him, he seemed to
Speaker 2: be right at the point where he's batting a pass down,
Speaker 2: he's defending a pass, he's breaking up a passing and
Speaker 2: that's a guy who's now in his fourth year and
Speaker 2: for the first couple of years, is his safety is
Speaker 2: a corner or is he gonna play what a we're
Speaker 2: gonna do? It seems like he's now locked in, and uh,
Speaker 2: he's he's prospering right now.
Speaker 3: He really is. Prospering is a great word, and I
Speaker 3: think the defense is prospering as a result. I mean
Speaker 3: Al Goldin decided that, you know what, this guy has
Speaker 3: traits and characteristics to be an unbelievable cover corner, you know,
Speaker 3: a shutdown type guy, a guy that when we decide
Speaker 3: to play man, he can get up and put his
Speaker 3: hands on people and rewrote him and bump and run
Speaker 3: coverage and then flip his hips and run with him
Speaker 3: and cover anybody in the National Football League. So it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, now he has the versatility to do the
Speaker 3: other things. He can still play nickel, he can still
Speaker 3: play safety. He can do all those kind of things.
Speaker 3: And that's invaluable for Al Golden and the defensive coaches
Speaker 3: there as their game planning. But Dax Hill is a
Speaker 3: superb athlete. I mean, he's got he's big, he's got
Speaker 3: good size for a guy in the secondary, very very intense, eligent,
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's very intelligent guys, a guy with
Speaker 3: not just football but just basic you know. I mean,
Speaker 3: the guy reads it seems like he reads the Wall
Speaker 3: Street Journal in the New York Times. He's one of
Speaker 3: those kind of guys that's very very uh interesting and
Speaker 3: fun to talk to in the locker room. He's a
Speaker 3: he's very bright, but I think he's gonna be big
Speaker 3: time and uh you look at uh a DJ Turner.
Speaker 3: This guy, I think is the other shutdown corner. I
Speaker 3: think they've got for years to come.
Speaker 2: That's an awfully nice pairing.
Speaker 3: Young got a lot, a lot of growth still. It
Speaker 3: is I mean that there's not many teams in the
Speaker 3: NFL that can say we have two young cornerbacks that
Speaker 3: will put all our chips in on the table and
Speaker 3: uh and bet that they're gonna they're gonna uh be
Speaker 3: big time performers for us. I think the Bengals are
Speaker 3: in pretty good shape right there.
Speaker 2: Boy and David note I saw today from our guy
Speaker 2: Joe Goodberry on Twitter the Bengals over the last six
Speaker 2: weeks defensively, they are number one in the NFL on
Speaker 2: third down defense, and boy, if you're looking for progress
Speaker 2: and where this defense was early in the season. Had
Speaker 2: I told you there six weeks in the back end,
Speaker 2: there'll be number one in the league in third down defense,
Speaker 2: you would have said, you're crazy. And it's happening before
Speaker 2: our very eyes.
Speaker 3: It is. I mean two areas where they are excelling defensively,
Speaker 3: particularly all year, obviously in the third down, but here
Speaker 3: recently in this in this surge that they're having defensively
Speaker 3: is the red zone. I mean, teams are getting in
Speaker 3: the red zone, the Bengals are shutting them down, They're
Speaker 3: locking them up, They're not not giving up touchdowns. The
Speaker 3: best teams are coming away with the three points and
Speaker 3: they're not giving up seven. So that four point differential
Speaker 3: with the Bengs and Joe Burrow going in the red
Speaker 3: zone scoring touchdowns hold the opponent to three. You know,
Speaker 3: missus Riley's math tells me that, you know, you keep
Speaker 3: getting four points per possession like that, you're gonna you're
Speaker 3: gonna be in pretty good shape when the final tally
Speaker 3: of the game is totaled up. So I think that
Speaker 3: that's that's something that you can't take for granted. And
Speaker 3: the Bengals are prideful of how they're handling third down
Speaker 3: in the red zone.
Speaker 2: Forced five three and outs yesterday, got a fourth down stop.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at that total number on third down yesterday.
Speaker 2: I think it was three for thirteen. Yeah, Arizona was
Speaker 2: three for thirteen on third down yesterday.
Speaker 3: That'll work, That will definitely work. That dog will hunt
Speaker 3: all day every day. You know, that's three for twelve
Speaker 3: is twenty five percent. So you're lower than that. You're
Speaker 3: barely over over twenty percent, and that is staggering. I mean,
Speaker 3: when you hold an NFL team to twenty two percent
Speaker 3: or whatever on third down, you've had a hell of
Speaker 3: a day.
Speaker 2: When we continue speaking of big days, about Jamard Chase,
Speaker 2: perspective on him and a stat that will put his
Speaker 2: career to this point in context. As we roll on
Speaker 2: with Bengals out on the Bengals Radio Network and ESPN
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station, We're back on Bengals line
Speaker 2: of this Monday night of the Bengals Radio Network in
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, were sorting through yesterday's win over the
Speaker 2: Colonels thirty seven fourteen. The final score. We've alternated offense, defense,
Speaker 2: let's go back to the offensive set of things, where
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase had a seven catch day, sixty yards and
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. Here's Jamar after the game mid October.
Speaker 19: Since you scored a touchdown, I knew you were aware
Speaker 19: of that. How much were you just efforting to get
Speaker 19: back at the end zone today?
Speaker 20: My first well, I was itching to get in there,
Speaker 20: if I'm being.
Speaker 21: Honest, for my first ties down earlier, I was fighting
Speaker 21: myself to get in there. I walked in the building
Speaker 21: today telling myself, I'm gonna make sure I get in
Speaker 21: there some type of way.
Speaker 2: So you saw the way you spiked the ball.
Speaker 19: Was that just a release of it's been two months
Speaker 19: since I've been here.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I didn't even know what celebration I wanted to
Speaker 21: do as I scored, Like as I know, I ain't
Speaker 21: been in there in a minute, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 21: I just ain't know what they're doing.
Speaker 11: I got in there when you when you caught that pass,
Speaker 11: it's a nineteen yard catch. You had to break multiple tackles.
Speaker 11: Are you thinking touchdown the moment when you catch it?
Speaker 21: Once I made the first du miss, That's when I
Speaker 21: started thinking, tis now, I'm like I'm right there.
Speaker 18: So when you go into that mode after the Cats
Speaker 18: where you're just dodging cacklers, what's going on through your head?
Speaker 17: Uh?
Speaker 21: Nothing, I don't know. I don't think nothing. I think
Speaker 21: everything else is just instincts in that moment.
Speaker 5: What is it about the Cardinals your last time again,
Speaker 5: stem you went off of the whatever?
Speaker 8: One two yards, three touchdowns, two scores this week? Is
Speaker 8: it something about that.
Speaker 20: That jersey that just sets you off?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 21: No, not really, I don't I'm not sure, you know,
Speaker 21: Just so it happened. I haven't scored in a couple
Speaker 21: of weeks, and this is the game we're playing, So
Speaker 21: I think that's what happened.
Speaker 22: How much wellmnum did that give you guys to get
Speaker 22: in the end zone first series?
Speaker 21: Uh, that's what we needed, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 21: Especially on the first series. That's how we get out
Speaker 21: of momentum going for the second series and the third
Speaker 21: and so forth.
Speaker 20: So that first series is always our through.
Speaker 19: How much fun have you more of this offense the
Speaker 19: last two weeks? Is put up really big numbers. We
Speaker 19: know what's the end of the season. We know you're
Speaker 19: not going to the playoffs, But is it meaningful for
Speaker 19: the offense to perform this way.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean that's what we expect from the beginning
Speaker 21: of the season and didn't really go out way. But
Speaker 21: we know we're caple blub at end of the day
Speaker 21: and what opportunities we could put ourselves in, but we've
Speaker 21: got to execute.
Speaker 15: How much funny is.
Speaker 21: That we're not too big it's been It's been fine period,
Speaker 21: just because we've been winning. I think that's the biggest thing,
Speaker 21: you know what I'm saying, When you win and you
Speaker 21: having the most fun.
Speaker 23: Because stacking wins at the end of the season actually
Speaker 23: meet anything with no playoffs.
Speaker 20: M Yes and no.
Speaker 21: If I'm being completely honest, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 21: I think at the end of the day, at the
Speaker 21: end of the season, if you don't have a playoff,
Speaker 21: I think that's more of a character on your part
Speaker 21: finishing the season for the organization.
Speaker 20: But there's different ways to go look at it.
Speaker 19: You got an outside chance with a big game next
Speaker 19: week to break your own record for most catches of
Speaker 19: the season with the Bengals. Is that something that's going
Speaker 19: to be in the back of your mind as you
Speaker 19: prepare for next week.
Speaker 20: No, I didn't even know I was that girl.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 20: I'm the close how many I got? I mean, catch it.
Speaker 20: I'm away with it with I.
Speaker 14: Think you're at one seventeen. Last year was what one?
Speaker 20: Okay, I ain't getting at this year. No, nah, I
Speaker 20: ain't geting.
Speaker 3: Edit.
Speaker 20: I like twelve more catches and getting editor.
Speaker 11: You're the first player in NFL history to have five
Speaker 11: straight years. Let's start your career of five straight years,
Speaker 11: thousand receiving yards, eighty receptions in seven or more touchdowns.
Speaker 21: Thoughts you said, talk to you said, Uh, just just
Speaker 21: a blessing, good opportunity, a good position. I'm in, great
Speaker 21: guys around me, great algagimization for me. And then you know,
Speaker 21: I just fit the fit, the perfect pitcher.
Speaker 2: Jamar with two touchdowns his first touchdown catch since hard
Speaker 2: to believe October the sixteenth, That was the Thursday nighter
Speaker 2: against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But he gets to yesterday and Dave,
Speaker 2: how about this number? This, This will give you perspective.
Speaker 2: He's the first player in NFL history in his first
Speaker 2: five seasons with at least eighty catches, a thousand yards
Speaker 2: and seven touchdowns in each of his first five seasons.
Speaker 2: He's alone at the top.
Speaker 3: Of that list, and they think of all the great
Speaker 3: receivers that there have been, you know, I mean in
Speaker 3: Jamaar Chase's time frame, that is that's incredible. Now, you know,
Speaker 3: the advantage that he has is he's got a guy
Speaker 3: that played college football with and they played together at
Speaker 3: a very high level. And I mean he was the
Speaker 3: best receiver in college football and his quarterback was a
Speaker 3: Heisland Trophy winner. So those two, you know, they know
Speaker 3: each other cold. I mean, they can finish each other's sentences,
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, they know what their favorite meals are.
Speaker 3: They know everything about each other and it shows up
Speaker 3: on the football field and they are fun to watch.
Speaker 3: It's almost like you cannot single cover Jamar Chase. And
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals did not do that very often. When
Speaker 3: they did, he and Joe Burrow torched him. You know,
Speaker 3: they took advantage of it. But I mean the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 3: they had a corner in a safety working there trying
Speaker 3: to work different leverages against Jamar Chase. A good part
Speaker 3: of that football game, a high high percentage of that
Speaker 3: football game. And that's nothing new. I mean, it's been
Speaker 3: happening to Jamar Chase for a while.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 3: I mean, he is in my mind, the best receiver
Speaker 3: in football because he's got breakaway speed. He can finish anything,
Speaker 3: take anything to the house. But he's also very strong, physical, powerful,
Speaker 3: will make the tough catch, We'll make the third down
Speaker 3: catch when it's a bang bang play and you have
Speaker 3: to hold onto the football or you have to hold
Speaker 3: on to the football, break a tackle to move the
Speaker 3: chains and make a first down. Jamar Chase is one
Speaker 3: hell of a football player.
Speaker 2: See you just laid it out perfectly, and I hope
Speaker 2: people appreciate it because he can.
Speaker 14: He can.
Speaker 2: He's got the hands and the catcher and he's to
Speaker 2: make the tough catch. Then he's got the ability to
Speaker 2: make a move to make one guy miss and then
Speaker 2: the next guy. He can break a tackle lot. There's
Speaker 2: not many guys who can catch it, shimmy and also
Speaker 2: blow through somebody. He's total package.
Speaker 3: He really is. And I mean you you can almost
Speaker 3: get a highlight reel, yes, you know when when they're
Speaker 3: doing the uh the end of the season video review
Speaker 3: of the of the Bengals season this year, it could
Speaker 3: be you know, every game could be Jamar Chase de Marchase,
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase. I mean, because he has highlight plays in
Speaker 3: every single football game that the dude plays in. That
Speaker 3: uh just that's a testament to his greatness. All right,
Speaker 3: that's one hour in the books. Just like that second
Speaker 3: hour to follow. We'll headline that as our leadoff hitter
Speaker 3: with Cody Ford. What a what a day, moment, what
Speaker 3: a moment for him. Will break that down as we
Speaker 3: turn the corner into our number two of Bengals Line
Speaker 3: of the Bengals Radio Network and ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati
Speaker 3: Sports Station.
Speaker 1: This is Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network pay Corps.

Speaker 2: Line of the Bengals Radio Network in ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with his lance, Butacallister along with Dave
Speaker 2: Lapham sorting through thirty seven to fourteen, the final over
Speaker 2: the Cardinals, and we'll look ahead to those Cleveland Browns
Speaker 2: at pay Corps. It's a one o'clock kick on Sunday.
Speaker 2: All of that to get to. But let's begin our
Speaker 2: number two with the man everybody's buzzing a bit and
Speaker 2: the highlight reel making his rounds around the NFL, headlined
Speaker 2: by Cody Ford, the twenty one yard catch and rumble,
Speaker 2: what a day he had. Everybody's talking about it, and
Speaker 2: everybody was asking him about it after the game. Here's
Speaker 2: the birthday boy, Cody Ford.
Speaker 6: And as a team and I called my first NFL recepsion.
Speaker 6: It was a great day, last thing for me.
Speaker 14: What was your favorite part of the celebration.
Speaker 6: I think Sae my teammates as decided as I was,
Speaker 6: that was that was pretty awesome.
Speaker 10: You jokingly lovingly pushed Zack you say something to him.
Speaker 6: Or I think I just said hell, yeah, I hadn't
Speaker 6: take it too far.
Speaker 19: Yeah, Cody Chance on the goal line wanted you to
Speaker 19: get the ball again.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was awesome. I was like, oh, it was
Speaker 6: the first time everyone's saying my name. That was crazy.
Speaker 6: That was that was impressive name like that.
Speaker 15: No, never, this was in the works all week. It
Speaker 15: sounds like, yeah, there was, So just tell us about
Speaker 15: when it was first drawn up and what was your
Speaker 15: reaction to potentially being used as a receiver.
Speaker 6: It was drawing up earlier in the week, and like
Speaker 6: I got to sell to Charlie, like pitch kind of
Speaker 6: broughty to me, and I thought he was joking, you know.
Speaker 6: And then we went out there practice and he was like,
Speaker 6: all right, here's the play and we started running in
Speaker 6: and then we went to practice the next day we
Speaker 6: ran it again and I was like, all right, I
Speaker 6: think we're actually going to call this. And then we
Speaker 6: had mentioned it last night, like, hey, if we get up,
Speaker 6: some points were calling Cody's play. So that's what happened.
Speaker 15: And are you the ball if they basically don't cover
Speaker 15: you tightly, if they just kind of slop off expecting
Speaker 15: that you're not going to get.
Speaker 6: It, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 6: the number I was in the progression or anything, because
Speaker 6: Joe kept telling me just get wider throughout the week
Speaker 6: and the formation. So eventually I was like, all right,
Speaker 6: I think he's just telling me to get the hell
Speaker 6: out the way so I don't mess anybody else's routes up.
Speaker 6: But it was a different story when it all played out.
Speaker 15: The yards after catch were impressive. I didn't realize you
Speaker 15: were so nimble.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm an athlete.
Speaker 15: Of getting into the end zone.
Speaker 8: Once you got down that slideline.
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone was like, why you ain't scored, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 6: I would not trying to score. I was trying to score,
Speaker 6: but I was just running with my head down and
Speaker 6: I was like, when I look up, I'll be where
Speaker 6: I'm at and whatever happens happens.
Speaker 8: Came in you were you nervous?
Speaker 14: What was the feeling like when you.
Speaker 8: Were the play calf?
Speaker 6: I mean I was a little nervous, but I think
Speaker 6: I got more nervous as he threw the ball to
Speaker 6: me and everything went slow, and I was because I
Speaker 6: guess he kind of just threw it to my test,
Speaker 6: but out there he really like threw a field shoulder
Speaker 6: and I was like, okay, this was this was like
Speaker 6: a little anxious.
Speaker 14: What was it like to sit up, I mean, drop
Speaker 14: all by yourself?
Speaker 6: Dream come true? I guess just every lineman's dream. The
Speaker 6: lineup is a receiver one time.
Speaker 15: Do you think the coach is knew it was your birthday?
Speaker 6: I think they did. I think they did.
Speaker 7: Were always lying.
Speaker 6: No, I was a tight end in junior high in
Speaker 6: my first year of high school, so I got some experience.
Speaker 9: Who was your last touch against uh.
Speaker 6: Brain Middle School? I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean you know when pitch came here early in
Speaker 11: the week, did you think these guys are lost than
Speaker 11: the Yeah.
Speaker 6: I thought he was joking. I thought he was just
Speaker 6: like pulling my leg. And because you know, we always joke.
Speaker 6: Lineman always joked with the coaches like, hey, I told
Speaker 6: me about them in the ball, and you know, we
Speaker 6: all we talk about it and I've been here three years,
Speaker 6: like and they're like, hey, you never know when time's
Speaker 6: gonna come. We line you up as the big why
Speaker 6: we throw you the ball? And then he threw the
Speaker 6: ball today. That was crazy win a problem see me,
Speaker 6: he was just laughing. I think he was impressed more
Speaker 6: than anything. I think he was impressed more than anything.
Speaker 15: So you lined up at full back on a couple
Speaker 15: of snaps. Have they ever practiced giving giving it to you?
Speaker 15: It's a goal line full back.
Speaker 6: No, but I've been trying to get him the I've
Speaker 6: been I've been pushing down with more than a reception.
Speaker 15: Heay, based on your yards after catch, I think the
Speaker 15: ndoff must happen.
Speaker 6: I think so ball to get on the goal. No,
Speaker 6: not as much as I really thought, Like I kind
Speaker 6: of expected it, but I was like, he might dy.
Speaker 20: When you heard the stadium chanting your name? What was
Speaker 20: that like for you?
Speaker 6: That was like a surreal moment. I've never been in
Speaker 6: a and it's like a sporting event or like anywhere
Speaker 6: at all where like the old population of was there
Speaker 6: chanted my name. It was crazy.
Speaker 11: Well, the host game locker room, like I weird the
Speaker 11: codey through the wall cheer.
Speaker 18: Just take me through that moment. It was awesome.
Speaker 6: I got to feel like, you know, one of those
Speaker 6: guys that catch the ball every day, and it was
Speaker 6: that was a fun time. Where is the ball?
Speaker 14: Like, you have the game ball?
Speaker 6: I sue over here now right here?
Speaker 18: So where does that go?
Speaker 15: You have a You gotta have a spot in mind.
Speaker 6: It's gonna go in my off season house in Dallas somewhere.
Speaker 6: I don't know yet, but I probably put it on
Speaker 6: the shelf and never touch it again.
Speaker 15: Now I talk to any other offensive linemen, like, you know,
Speaker 15: they asked me to get the reception.
Speaker 11: Was there anything talking about anybody else trying to steal
Speaker 11: this from you?
Speaker 14: And like this has to do this.
Speaker 6: No, the guys, the guys were excited for me as
Speaker 6: soon as we talked about the player. Yeah, they were.
Speaker 6: They were gonna let me have it. No complaints from
Speaker 6: the guys. Their supportive. They were like encouraging me all
Speaker 6: week and they were they were ready to go for me.
Speaker 15: Did I hear you say you consider this to be
Speaker 15: the single greatest moment of your NFL career?
Speaker 6: Yeah, most doubt.
Speaker 2: Cody ford On in just a magical after birthday. He
Speaker 2: will never forget. Everybody was asking about it. The smile
Speaker 2: on his face said at all. It's being replayed around
Speaker 2: the football world today. And I like what Zach said
Speaker 2: about the energy it brought to not just the offensive line,
Speaker 2: to the stadium, to the press box, you name it.
Speaker 2: Everybody was like, did you see that?
Speaker 3: Now that's true. It's like, Wow, I'm here for a
Speaker 3: piece of Bengal history. It's like you know the fridge
Speaker 3: up there in Chicago with Dia Bears, you know, did
Speaker 3: his thing now you got a defensive lineman for the
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals doing his thing, you know, And that twenty
Speaker 3: two yard play was extremely athletic. I mean, showed good
Speaker 3: ability to catch football, gets your shoulder pads squared up
Speaker 3: and run some people over and get yards after catch,
Speaker 3: yards after contact and get it done. He came to
Speaker 3: the sideline want more. You know, how how are you
Speaker 3: gonna involve me? Uh in this offense more? Zach Taylor?
Speaker 3: And uh, now, now what he needs to do is
Speaker 3: run the football.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: They lined him up at full back that formation when
Speaker 3: they had seven offensive linemen and he was lined up
Speaker 3: in the full back position to head over a ton
Speaker 3: literally a ton of weight of offensive line out there.
Speaker 3: That was that was tilt in the field, and there's
Speaker 3: no question about that. But you know, I think he
Speaker 3: prides himself on his versatility. Marius Mims get kicked in
Speaker 3: the shin and he had pretty good bruise. I guess
Speaker 3: a bone bruise on that shin is what he's telling me.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, Sue was uncomfortable for a couple
Speaker 3: of snaps there, but he came back in and played
Speaker 3: and finished the game. That's a testament to him. He
Speaker 3: didn't pack it in you know, where are the Bengals going? So,
Speaker 3: I mean Amarius Mims could have varied as he said,
Speaker 3: you know that's just for me for today or maybe
Speaker 3: even for next week against the Cleveland Browns, but now
Speaker 3: he wants to play and uh and he wants to
Speaker 3: to win football games and wants to play with his teammates.
Speaker 3: So it's it's very The offensive line is a very
Speaker 3: tight group. They spend a lot of time together. They
Speaker 3: want each other to succeed, They want to take care
Speaker 3: of each other, They want to help each other as
Speaker 3: much as possible. So man, when one of their own
Speaker 3: has has a historic play in the football game that
Speaker 3: they played very well in as a group and one
Speaker 3: football game handily, everybody likes it.
Speaker 2: I loved how he choked earlier in the week. Joe
Speaker 2: kept motioning to him, get get out what and Cody
Speaker 2: thought it was just like, get the hell out of
Speaker 2: the way. But was get a little bit wider to spread.
Speaker 20: It out.
Speaker 2: Good and he I saw an ESPN note at three
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five pounds. He got up to max
Speaker 2: by twelve point seven miles per hour. He was rumbling
Speaker 2: with the football.
Speaker 3: On that point, I tell you Cody Ford is a
Speaker 3: pretty damn good athlete. I mean, that's a that's a
Speaker 3: size speed ratio. When you get hit by a three
Speaker 3: hundred and forty five pound guy running over twelve miles
Speaker 3: an hour, you'll remember it.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: That will thumped you a little bit. I looked it up.
Speaker 2: Anthony Munio was just a trivia note. Anthony caught seven
Speaker 2: passes in his career. Four were for touchdowns, including that
Speaker 2: famous last catch it at the inter of regulation against
Speaker 2: Cleveland that forced overtime and then Jim Breech wanted it overtime.
Speaker 2: But think of that, Anthony seven catches and four touchdowns
Speaker 2: in his.
Speaker 3: Career, and you're talking about the greatest lineman that ever
Speaker 3: played in the National Football League the history of the league.
Speaker 3: And you know, Anthony could have played anywhere and done anything.
Speaker 3: I think he could have been a hell of a
Speaker 3: tight end. Honestly. You know, when he was at USC
Speaker 3: shoot he was throwing ninety five miles an hour that
Speaker 3: had an unbelievable fastball and splitter that you know, dropped
Speaker 3: off the table, a curve ball. I mean, he was
Speaker 3: he was an all lead pitcher for crying allowed for
Speaker 3: the USC Trojan. So you're talking about an incredible athlete,
Speaker 3: obviously an incredible human being. But Cody Ford, I'm telling you,
Speaker 3: he's when you get named like we are on the
Speaker 3: show here the day after the game, you're talked about
Speaker 3: in the same sentence as Anthony won Yas, that's high,
Speaker 3: Cotton Man, Yes it is very high.
Speaker 2: No doubt still ahead, Schamar Stewart, Dalton Reisner, fun facts
Speaker 2: with Isaiah Foski, and so much more. We are rolling
Speaker 2: tonight on Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network at
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Continue on with Bengals
Speaker 2: Line on the Bengals Radio Network in ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being with us on this Monday night where
Speaker 2: we sort through what transpired yesterday and look ahead of
Speaker 2: what might transpire Sunday at pay Course Stadium. Let's go
Speaker 2: back to yesterday. Let's get back to the defense. Shamar
Speaker 2: Stewart with his first career sack. Great to see that,
Speaker 2: and in the pregame, Wayne box Miller had a chance
Speaker 2: to talk with Shamar about his rookie season. At this point,
Speaker 2: a perfect starting point in this segment here's Wayne box
Speaker 2: Miller and Shamar Stewart.
Speaker 24: Shamar, this is a dream come true for a lot
Speaker 24: of young men when they get drafted. But now that
Speaker 24: you're in the midst of an NFL season, talk about
Speaker 24: what it.
Speaker 25: Feels like just to be in this league.
Speaker 23: Man, it's tough. Man Like, you gotta come every week
Speaker 23: to play. You gotta prepare the same way every week.
Speaker 23: You know, they got to you gotta come to an
Speaker 23: a game every week.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 24: Some people say this is a dream of theirs. Some
Speaker 24: say this is something I worked for. Which one was
Speaker 24: it for you? Was it a dream or something you
Speaker 24: really had worked for.
Speaker 6: I want to say it was both.
Speaker 23: You know, Ever since I started playing football and watching
Speaker 23: the NFL, I'm like, I want to be there one day.
Speaker 6: But I knew I.
Speaker 23: Wouldn't get that if I didn't work towards it, you know,
Speaker 23: so I have to You have to put in the
Speaker 23: work either way to go.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 24: And I always tell a lot of young people you
Speaker 24: never know who's watching. And I think so many people
Speaker 24: were watching you, and so when you got selected, many
Speaker 24: people to know that people saw things in you that
Speaker 24: they just didn't see other people talk about just your
Speaker 24: work ethic and how you feel good that it paid
Speaker 24: dividends for you.
Speaker 23: Man college, from high school to college. I was, I
Speaker 23: was working in college. In high school, I didn't really
Speaker 23: have a break. I was working out five days a week,
Speaker 23: you know, getting it in cause you know, that's just
Speaker 23: how it was in high school, you know, grind, grind, grind.
Speaker 23: In college, I was getting busted in that weight room for.
Speaker 6: Three years straight.
Speaker 23: Especially of course Maffa came in. I was, he was,
Speaker 23: he was, he was putting work on me. So you know,
Speaker 23: I'm not no stranger to work. You know, it's what
Speaker 23: you need to do to get to where you want
Speaker 23: to be. So you know he can't be scared of that, right.
Speaker 24: Uh, This team man has so much chemistry amongst the brothers.
Speaker 24: And when I say brothers, I mean all all the guys.
Speaker 24: Talk about how the veterans man just embrace you young guys,
Speaker 24: show you the ropes, give you things to work on,
Speaker 24: and just help you transition.
Speaker 23: You know, Whenever in the meetings and you see I
Speaker 23: don't really get something, they'll come into me before practice,
Speaker 23: you know, talk me through it, give their thoughts on it.
Speaker 23: And then if we're both unsure about it, they will
Speaker 23: go ask coach for me, so they we have a
Speaker 23: definitive answer.
Speaker 18: You know, those guys really look out for me.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 23: There's not no animosity in every room of whatsoever. We
Speaker 23: all eat together. It's a family or atmosphere, you know.
Speaker 23: And you know occasionally they know they try love brother
Speaker 23: me by with the snacks and stuff, you know, but
Speaker 23: it's all love though.
Speaker 24: I always say that guys in the NFL are happy
Speaker 24: when other guys get paid and when they make it
Speaker 24: because they know what it takes.
Speaker 25: Again, it's not an easy path.
Speaker 6: Oh no, it definitely wasn't easy.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 23: It was what at least ten years of just straight
Speaker 23: grinding fighting, crying and and bloodshed.
Speaker 6: Like it was just a whole bunch of that.
Speaker 23: You know, you just got to stay the course, you know,
Speaker 23: keep your head on straight and there's no interest that
Speaker 23: God has a pain for you and when your strength ends,
Speaker 23: his thart.
Speaker 24: So I think that it's so great that guys are
Speaker 24: open to talk about their faith and adult and I
Speaker 24: talked to him about it, Ryan.
Speaker 25: Rico and others.
Speaker 24: But it really does help you through something like this
Speaker 24: when you have to rely on your faith outside of
Speaker 24: your talent.
Speaker 23: Oh yeah, for sure. You know, you know we can't
Speaker 23: do it by ourselves. You know, we just we got
Speaker 23: to keep having faith in him. You know, he always
Speaker 23: going to have our back. When nobody else have our back,
Speaker 23: He's gonna have our back. So you know, you just
Speaker 23: got to keep faith in him, all right.
Speaker 24: I do something called the gratitude game. I ask you
Speaker 24: three things that you're grateful for, two things that have
Speaker 24: impacted you, and then one thing you're hopeful for. So
Speaker 24: if I said three things that you're grateful for, who
Speaker 24: would that be or what would that be?
Speaker 23: I want to say for my family for always being
Speaker 23: there with me. I want to say for the game
Speaker 23: of football, you know, change my whole family dynamic. And
Speaker 23: I want to say I'm grateful for all the good
Speaker 23: men that raised me throughout this my football career. You know,
Speaker 23: I didn't get here just by myself. You know, it
Speaker 23: took a whole village, all right.
Speaker 25: Two things that have impacted you.
Speaker 23: Leaving my home state to go to Texas a you know, yeah,
Speaker 23: that was a that was that was a crazy change,
Speaker 23: A nothing that impacted me. Probably when my college coach died,
Speaker 23: you know, it was tough. And then from then on forward.
Speaker 23: I went on to have two different defensive defensive line
Speaker 23: coaches and two different dcs, so you know, it was
Speaker 23: just a lot of change throughout my career and you know,
Speaker 23: different learning style, different schemes, you know, so it was hard,
Speaker 23: I mean in a moment.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 25: Lastly, one thing you're hopeful for.
Speaker 23: I'm hopeful for our team to keep growing. I'm hopeful
Speaker 23: for the bank, the Bengals to keep growing as a family,
Speaker 23: not just on not just on the field, off the fee.
Speaker 6: You know, we all we got when we're out there.
Speaker 23: It's when you look to you're left in your right
Speaker 23: as the PVC every day. So we just got to
Speaker 23: keep growing as a family, fight for each other.
Speaker 26: Appreciate you as always, brother, Thank you Schamar in the
Speaker 26: pregame and then end game picks up his first second
Speaker 26: and Dave obviously a rookie season that's been a little
Speaker 26: bit bumpy from contract negotiations through training camp into the season.
Speaker 2: That is in the the way I look at it.
Speaker 2: That's in the past. Can't change it. You can work
Speaker 2: on what's happening now. And it was great to see
Speaker 2: him get a sack, the smile on his face and
Speaker 2: I would think a bit of a relief saying I
Speaker 2: got one. Everybody's talked about what I didn't do when
Speaker 2: I came here and then what I may have said
Speaker 2: what I got here. But that sack yesterday, it just
Speaker 2: felt like it lifted a lot off his shoulders. And
Speaker 2: I think when you're this stage of the season, you're
Speaker 2: looking for good things and momentum. I'm very happy for
Speaker 2: Shamar's stu.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am too. I'm glad he got his first
Speaker 3: career sack, you know, and uh, it's been a roller coaster, yeah,
Speaker 3: for Shamar Stewart that this rookie season. You know, the
Speaker 3: contract issues and difficulty was getting that finalized, and now
Speaker 3: he's under contract, and then he gets nicked up a
Speaker 3: little bit. He's got some physical issues that he has
Speaker 3: to deal with, and he's not right for a good
Speaker 3: period of time there. And but when he is right
Speaker 3: and when he's one hundred percent healthy, this guy is
Speaker 3: a genetic freak. I mean his size, speed ratio and
Speaker 3: his ability to you know, pump iron a lot of weight,
Speaker 3: run the way he can run. You do a breakdown
Speaker 3: of his forty look at the ten yard time. He's
Speaker 3: got a quick first step. You look at the twenty
Speaker 3: yard time. I mean he gets up to full speed
Speaker 3: very quickly and forty time. This guy is a very
Speaker 3: gifted athlete. And you know, looking at Miles Murphy and
Speaker 3: Schamar Stewart, you got a couple of young guys on
Speaker 3: the edge. We talked about the young guys in the corner.
Speaker 3: Now the young guys and the edge rush in the quarterback.
Speaker 3: Al Gold has got some pieces, man, He's got some
Speaker 3: chess pieces for the chessboard that he can play with
Speaker 3: a little bit for the future.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I look at Miles yesterday gets the sack. He now
Speaker 2: leads the team with five and a half sacks. He
Speaker 2: also had six tackles. Miles Murphy's been a weekly theme
Speaker 2: on Bengals Line now and day. I look at performances
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's just a blip, maybe something on the radar,
Speaker 2: and then there may be starts to be a trend.
Speaker 2: And I think we're into the reality of Miles Murphy
Speaker 2: being a very serviceable and productive I'm not gonna make
Speaker 2: him a pro bowler yet, wouldn't mind eventually, but he's
Speaker 2: a very productive and serviceable player. Now that's become the
Speaker 2: reality of Miles Murphy.
Speaker 3: I agree, I think both of them. I think Murphy
Speaker 3: and Schamar Steward both physically have the traits that would
Speaker 3: lend itself to be a pro bowler, you know. And
Speaker 3: now it's a matter of putting it all together and
Speaker 3: translating it out on the football field. But Miles Murphy
Speaker 3: is a very thoughtful player. He wants to do things right,
Speaker 3: he wants to please his coaches, He likes to be coached.
Speaker 3: Al Golden can be a hard coach. He can get
Speaker 3: on guys pretty hard. And Miles Murphy and Shamar Stewart
Speaker 3: are both taking it the way that it's meant to
Speaker 3: help them improve themselves and be better football players.
Speaker 2: By this defense gives up fourteen to Arizona, they gave
Speaker 2: up twenty one to Miami the Baltimore game. Take out
Speaker 2: the pick six, they will give up seventeen to Baltimore. Really,
Speaker 2: there was only one play yesterday, the thirty eight yard touchdown,
Speaker 2: which I just I get a headache going back and
Speaker 2: watching that play. But if you take that play out,
Speaker 2: there weren't there week to week. There's fewer moments that
Speaker 2: make you want to pull your hair out, and that
Speaker 2: says progress.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you know, whether that's not breaking an assignment
Speaker 3: or making having a problem physically, like missed tackles. When
Speaker 3: they were struggling and people were scoring on him, they
Speaker 3: were siev defensively, they couldn't tackle anybody. I mean, they
Speaker 3: were one of the poorest tackling football teams, probably the
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals have had in that stretch. But it's changed.
Speaker 3: I mean they're tackling well. And again, you know, I
Speaker 3: think on the back end, big plays usually happen because
Speaker 3: on the back end there's an assignment era or there's
Speaker 3: a mistackle, and that's happening less and less as these
Speaker 3: guys get snaps together and it's pretty good unit back there.
Speaker 2: Up next, let's go back to the offensive line, Dalton
Speaker 2: Reisner on the day that was with the Bengals O line,
Speaker 2: and on Cody Ford and on his future with the
Speaker 2: Bengals that as we roll on with Bengals Line and
Speaker 2: the Bengals Radio Network and ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's keep moving it along on this Monday night talking
Speaker 2: Bengals and Bengals line and the Bengals Radio Network and
Speaker 2: the ESPN fifteen thirty. Let's go back to the offensive
Speaker 2: line and on that side of the ball. Talk Dalton
Speaker 2: Reisner and from where he was and when he signed
Speaker 2: with this team to where he is right now. It's
Speaker 2: been a pretty amazing journey and he is really settled in.
Speaker 2: Here is Dalton after the game with Dan Horde.
Speaker 15: Dalton Bengals won by twenty four last week, twenty three
Speaker 15: this week. That's hard to do in the NFL. How
Speaker 15: do you guys feel about the way you played these
Speaker 15: last two weeks?
Speaker 18: Obviously you feel great.
Speaker 10: I mean, like you said, it's tough to win in
Speaker 10: the NFL, so we work so hard.
Speaker 14: But D and D day out, the coaches, this whole organization.
Speaker 10: We take pride in me in Cincinnati Bengals, so when
Speaker 10: we're able to win like this, man, it makes it
Speaker 10: so much sweeter. But I can tell you that the losses,
Speaker 10: they suck. But sometimes when you lose those games, you're
Speaker 10: wondering what's wrong, and it's a tough week and people
Speaker 10: are asking questions, and I just say that it's a
Speaker 10: great feeling to be where we're at right now because
Speaker 10: we're winning football games, We're playing well as a unit,
Speaker 10: we're feeding off of each other, we're having fun doing it,
Speaker 10: and it's just it's special, man, and you can't take
Speaker 10: it for granted. I know that we're out of the playoffs.
Speaker 10: I know we're six and ten, but it's still special.
Speaker 15: Does it feel like a sign of things to come
Speaker 15: for twenty twenty six percent?
Speaker 14: I don't want to be that guy.
Speaker 10: I know that, especially with like last year I followed
Speaker 10: the Cincinnati Bengals. I've always been a Bengals fan, but regardless,
Speaker 10: I saw the way last year ended on a really positive.
Speaker 14: Note and winning some football games.
Speaker 10: So I don't want to be the guy that you know,
Speaker 10: tries to bring the positive out of a six and
Speaker 10: ten and well that's hope seven to ten football season.
Speaker 14: But we really are rolling, man. I actually looked at
Speaker 14: my office, the line coach, and just.
Speaker 10: Felt like, you know, this is the best rhythm we've
Speaker 10: been in this last you know, literally the last six weeks.
Speaker 14: I mean the way we played on Thanksgiving, the way
Speaker 14: we went and played in Buffalo.
Speaker 10: I know that we fell short against the team that
Speaker 10: might win the AFC, but regardless, like this not six
Speaker 10: or seven weeks, I just feel like we've been a
Speaker 10: really good spot.
Speaker 14: Obviously, the Ravens game at home is a kind of
Speaker 14: a one.
Speaker 10: Off, But regardless, I'm really happy to be a Bengal,
Speaker 10: Proud to be a Bangal, proud to work with these guys.
Speaker 14: Man, I love these guys.
Speaker 15: You were facing a team today that came in with
Speaker 15: a seven game losing streak and a bad record. When
Speaker 15: that's the case, kind of the cliche is jump on top,
Speaker 15: don't let them think they could win the game. At
Speaker 15: the end of the first quarter, the yardage was one
Speaker 15: thirty nine to six, time of possession was thirteen and
Speaker 15: a half minutes to one and a half. Was that
Speaker 15: the thought process? And I mean, if so, you certainly
Speaker 15: executed it.
Speaker 10: I think that's always the thought process. But you never
Speaker 10: you never count a dog out, especially in the NFL.
Speaker 10: I mean, the Cardinals came to play today. We came
Speaker 10: to play as well, and we played really good football.
Speaker 10: But it's not like they just gave in and as
Speaker 10: soon as we got up a few points they said
Speaker 10: screw it, we're done. Those guys kept fighting, and that's
Speaker 10: what we want to go do to every NFL team.
Speaker 14: You want to get on top of these guys. You
Speaker 14: want to get a lead and then you want to
Speaker 14: secure it. And keep it. But man, we were just
Speaker 14: rolling today. It was the Bengals day today. Hats off
Speaker 14: to the Cardinals.
Speaker 10: Good football team, came in to try to win a
Speaker 10: football game.
Speaker 14: We just had a better day.
Speaker 15: Tell me about the Cody Ford pass. When did this
Speaker 15: play get drawn up and what was the feeling like
Speaker 15: on the field all week?
Speaker 14: Talked about it all week.
Speaker 10: We wanted to do a little bit of big personnel
Speaker 10: this week and roll with Cody as kind of that
Speaker 10: sixth offensive lineman, and we did that. I think maybe
Speaker 10: they fell asleep a little bit thinking that we want
Speaker 10: to throw them the ball. And just awesome moment for
Speaker 10: him on his twenty ninth birthday. He's been a really
Speaker 10: selfless guy all year in my opinion, and really well
Speaker 10: deserved to get that football thrown to him.
Speaker 14: And then also see what he did after it is
Speaker 14: super awesome.
Speaker 10: So he executed it just like they drew up, and
Speaker 10: hats off to the coaches for drawing it.
Speaker 15: To Joe Burrow. The last couple of weeks. It has
Speaker 15: a passer rating over one thirty and those two games combined,
Speaker 15: this is kind of your opportunity to play with him healthy,
Speaker 15: looking good. I mean, what's that experience been like for you.
Speaker 14: He's an ultimate competitor.
Speaker 10: I really do love Joe the way that he goes
Speaker 10: out there and slings the football and wants to win
Speaker 10: football games, and how dialed he is.
Speaker 14: You can see why the Bengals are special.
Speaker 10: I mean, you kind of just block your tail off
Speaker 10: back there, and then you see the ball get thrown
Speaker 10: up and he's just dropping it in the buckets.
Speaker 14: And hitting guys right where they need to be hit.
Speaker 14: So love blocking for the guy. Got a tremendous amount
Speaker 14: of respect for him.
Speaker 10: You can see why he's had the success that he's
Speaker 10: had here in Cincinnati. And I just hope I could
Speaker 10: be a part of it for longer.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I would assume there's mutual interest in having you
Speaker 15: return based on the way things are going.
Speaker 14: That would be great.
Speaker 6: Man, keep pulling for me.
Speaker 14: Let's get these guys to give me a call.
Speaker 15: Man, I kind of expect that's going to happen. Congratulations
Speaker 15: on a great win today, two in a row, and
Speaker 15: finish the season with three next week.
Speaker 14: We'll do God bless you.
Speaker 6: Thanks man.
Speaker 2: Dalton Reisner after the game, and David went back and
Speaker 2: look just to be sure, and I hope people appreciate.
Speaker 2: With Dalton Reisner, he gets signed on August the twenty eighth,
Speaker 2: after the final cutdown. They sign him ten days later.
Speaker 2: He actually plays in the opener thirty six snaps. And
Speaker 2: it was a rush to try to get him ready,
Speaker 2: and maybe he wasn't ready at the start, but tell
Speaker 2: you what, it feels like he has really settled in
Speaker 2: and you say, yeah, Dalton Reisner, you.
Speaker 3: Go yeah, and Dalton Reisner for him to be able
Speaker 3: to play ten days after he shows up at an
Speaker 3: organization speaks volumes because I can tell you that's that's
Speaker 3: a difficult thing. You know, you're not with the football
Speaker 3: team at training camp, you're not there in the offseason,
Speaker 3: you're not there for OTAs for you know, workouts with everybody.
Speaker 3: It's just very, very difficult to come in, you know,
Speaker 3: totally brand new to a system, to an organization language
Speaker 3: that you have to learn. And that's the most difficult
Speaker 3: thing for him because he's been around for a while.
Speaker 3: He has seen all the defensive configurations, how many different
Speaker 3: ways they can line up in the National Football League.
Speaker 3: He's a smart guy. He stores all that information and
Speaker 3: uh and pulls it out when when needed. But to
Speaker 3: unlearn and relearn. It's like, okay, you have to unlearn
Speaker 3: French and relearn German. You know, it's like, man, that's
Speaker 3: that's that's not easy. That's very very difficult. And he
Speaker 3: handled it exceptionally well. Never complained about it, you know,
Speaker 3: it just went about his business. And I'm sure probably
Speaker 3: when he was at home with his wife she was
Speaker 3: giving him pop quiz he was, she was giving him
Speaker 3: pop quizzes and throwing things out there to him and
Speaker 3: see how quickly he could respond. But he's a pros
Speaker 3: pro is what he is. For him to be able to,
Speaker 3: you know, get on the football field that quickly and
Speaker 3: provide a good performance, a good solid performance. He's graded
Speaker 3: pretty well and the coaching staff really likes him.
Speaker 2: I liked how you talked with Dan there about at
Speaker 2: the end wanting to would love to be back. It's
Speaker 2: a one year deal, it's only one point three million.
Speaker 2: They got great value out of that, and he joke to,
Speaker 2: you know, tell tell their people to call my people.
Speaker 2: I'd love to be back. And he'll be thirty one
Speaker 2: by next season, could you see? I mean, would it
Speaker 2: make sense for them to kind of hitch their wagon
Speaker 2: a little bit? Longer adult Reisner.
Speaker 3: I think so, you know, I mean, it's thirty one,
Speaker 3: is not a spring chicken. But there are linemen in
Speaker 3: the National Football League, you know, playing much much beyond
Speaker 3: that in terms of in terms of years. And he
Speaker 3: likes his teammates. His teammates like him, you know, And
Speaker 3: it's it's legit. It's not just you know, uh whatever,
Speaker 3: you know, nothing's fake about it. Yeah, it's not. It's
Speaker 3: not being said just because well I should say he's
Speaker 3: a good guy, you know, it's not. It's not like
Speaker 3: you're being told to speak about a guy a certain way.
Speaker 3: And he's all football man. This guy is a football player.
Speaker 3: He's a pros pro. The game means a lot to him.
Speaker 3: It's very important to he and his family to have
Speaker 3: success on the football field and play as long as
Speaker 3: he can.
Speaker 2: And there would be nothing round the way I look
Speaker 2: at it. But it's not my money. There'd be nothing
Speaker 2: wrong if you keep him around for at least another year.
Speaker 2: Gives Jalen Rivers some more time to develop and learn,
Speaker 2: and you're not forcing things upon Jalen Rivers and Dalton.
Speaker 2: Riiser's a nice guy to learn from and adjust to
Speaker 2: the league. For another season. If you're Jalen Rivers, no,
Speaker 2: no need to rush him. He's a rookie, still wide
Speaker 2: eyed and learning things in his career.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point, you know. And Reisner has
Speaker 3: got some versatility to him. I mean he can play
Speaker 3: you know, worst case scenario, he can play both guards
Speaker 3: for you, and there's some value there. I do think
Speaker 3: that he's smart enough where he could play center and
Speaker 3: make calls and if Ted Carrass got nicked up, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that there's very good reason for
Speaker 3: he for Dalton Rising to sit down with the Bengals
Speaker 3: management people and talk about a contract beyond this season.
Speaker 2: If you like a city, you're comfortable, and you got
Speaker 2: a quarterback like Joe Burrow who wouldn't want to stick
Speaker 2: around for another year.
Speaker 3: No down one. He's right.
Speaker 2: So when we come back, how about some fantastic fun
Speaker 2: facts and so much more. We're making our way through
Speaker 2: towards nine o'clock tonight, talking Bengals Can't Beat Dad Bengals
Speaker 2: on in the Bengals Radio Network at ESPN fifteen thirty
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. Hey, welcome back in on Bengals line
Speaker 2: of the Bengals Radio Network in ESPN fifteen thirty. Each
Speaker 2: week we love fantastic fun facts. Dan Horde pulls back
Speaker 2: the curtain. Let's us in on a little bit more
Speaker 2: on the Bengal player beyond just the football player. This
Speaker 2: week it's the Notre Dame product who spent a couple
Speaker 2: of years in New Orleans. A member of the Bengals
Speaker 2: practice squad. Was active yesterday, played sixteen snaps on defense,
Speaker 2: was in and helped with pressure and led to the
Speaker 2: said Johnson sack if I remember correctly. Here is fantastic
Speaker 2: fun facts Dan Horde with Isaiah Foski.
Speaker 1: No fantastic fun facts with.
Speaker 15: Dan Todd for some fun facts with defensive end Isaiah
Speaker 15: Foski from Antioch, California, which is not too far from
Speaker 15: San Francisco. I feel like when people are asked what's
Speaker 15: your favorite city in the US, more often than not,
Speaker 15: San Francisco is on the list. What do you like
Speaker 15: about being from northern California?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 18: The food, for sure. Like every time I go back
Speaker 18: to back home m Cali, I get Mexican food every
Speaker 18: single time. Go to any random food truck, you just
Speaker 18: gonna hit every time, no doubt.
Speaker 15: I read that your dad served in the Navy. Did
Speaker 15: that result in a disciplined childhood for you for sure?
Speaker 18: Because he was in a Navy Danny was a police officer,
Speaker 18: So yeah, I don't even have to say much after that.
Speaker 18: So yeah, it was like really disciplinary type of parenting.
Speaker 3: And I just follow on. I'm just a person.
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 15: Now we're chatting with Isaiah Foski. According to a pre
Speaker 15: draft scouting report, you started getting attention from colleges in
Speaker 15: middle school and you got your first college offer in
Speaker 15: eighth grade from Kansas. Is that true?
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's true. I didn't even know what a scholarship was.
Speaker 18: I was just prepared for high school. They came out
Speaker 18: of pretty much nowhere. Is just offered me like through
Speaker 18: someone else telling me, but they couldn't like talk to
Speaker 18: me directly and they say, yeah, we're offering you. I
Speaker 18: didn't even know what Kansas was like back then. I
Speaker 18: was bad at geography, so they gave me to offer.
Speaker 15: You played high school football at one of the most
Speaker 15: famous programs in the country, Day La Salle, a school
Speaker 15: that once famously had a one hundred and fifty one
Speaker 15: game winning streak. How did playing there prepare you for college?
Speaker 15: And what you're doing now.
Speaker 18: I feel like playing at Dale South, playing Nordame how
Speaker 18: my parents taught me, and just being buy the books,
Speaker 18: doing everything right, working hard. I feel like I was
Speaker 18: just the backbone of everything the Dale South, like mentioned,
Speaker 18: being a man of integrity. That's like the one big
Speaker 18: thing that I brought from Dale South, and I brought
Speaker 18: it onto the rest of my life.
Speaker 15: Sitting with Isaiah Foski, you could have gone just about anywhere.
Speaker 15: Your final five schools included Ohio State and Michigan, but ultimately,
Speaker 15: as you mentioned, you chose Notre Dame. Why the fighting
Speaker 15: Irish like I.
Speaker 18: Was the same everything from Dale South and Notre Dame.
Speaker 18: They just pretty much just went hand in hand, like
Speaker 18: they were pretty much the same ZAC school. So I
Speaker 18: just felt really comfortable there, and once I went there,
Speaker 18: it was just amazing.
Speaker 15: It's really hard to hold an all time record at
Speaker 15: Notre Dame, but you do. You are the all time
Speaker 15: sax leader at that school, which is pretty remarkable. Describe
Speaker 15: the feeling when you broke Justin Tuck's all time record.
Speaker 18: Yeah, that was great. That was like such an amazing,
Speaker 18: surreal moment because that year I was really starting to
Speaker 18: get to talk to justin Tuck and he was just
Speaker 18: telling me how much he wanted me to be his record.
Speaker 18: That was like before the season and like just talking
Speaker 18: to him. He was helping me throughout that season. And
Speaker 18: then when I finally got it, I was it was
Speaker 18: a snow game too, first time ever playing a snow
Speaker 18: on senior night, and I got it, and then the
Speaker 18: whole stadium and rubs all my teammates started giving high
Speaker 18: fives and it was just amazing.
Speaker 15: Will you be as gracious if somebody comes close to
Speaker 15: breaking your record or secretly will you say no, no,
Speaker 15: finish with twenty six?
Speaker 18: No, I want someone to beat my record. I really do.
Speaker 18: I feel like there's a lot of talent at nord
Speaker 18: In that someone could beat it.
Speaker 15: What did you enjoy most about four years in South Bend?
Speaker 18: The people like, not much to do with South Bend.
Speaker 18: It's really just Notre Dame as so, and it's just
Speaker 18: the people at Nordame was really what makes nor Day
Speaker 18: nor Dame.
Speaker 15: Do you have a tiny play like a champion today
Speaker 15: signed in your house.
Speaker 18: No, I don't have it here, but I had it
Speaker 18: at a Dame. I did have one.
Speaker 15: You were selected in the second round of the twenty
Speaker 15: twenty three draft by the New Orleans Saints, number forty overall.
Speaker 15: Describe that day leading up to getting that phone call God.
Speaker 18: That day I was I was hoping I was gonna
Speaker 18: go first round, but then you know it'd end up
Speaker 18: that way. But going uh the fortieth pig to the
Speaker 18: Norley Saints, that was just a crazy experience. Having all
Speaker 18: my friends and family next to me, have my wife
Speaker 18: now right next to me too. It was just a
Speaker 18: crazy experience. I will never forget that moment. Super stressful, yeah.
Speaker 6: Like it was.
Speaker 18: But then my thing, it was wherever I go, I know,
Speaker 18: God just put me in this place for a reason,
Speaker 18: and that's what kind of like eased me down and
Speaker 18: just just leaning all my faith throughout all of it.
Speaker 15: New Orleans is very different from South Bend. How did
Speaker 15: you enjoy two years in the big easy?
Speaker 18: Like I said, how I like California their food, New
Speaker 18: Orleans their food.
Speaker 6: I'm a big foodie.
Speaker 18: Though New Orleans food was it was great, but it
Speaker 18: was it was a little bit of adjustment. Humidity that
Speaker 18: was the biggest adjustment. That was when I first got there,
Speaker 18: that was killing me. But then after a while you
Speaker 18: kind of got used to.
Speaker 15: It, Isaiah. After a couple of years with the Saints,
Speaker 15: you joined the Bengals early this season. You were reunited
Speaker 15: with your defensive coordinator from your final year at Notre
Speaker 15: Dame Al Golden. Did you feel like he were now
Speaker 15: playing for a coach or playing for a coach again
Speaker 15: who really knew what you were capable of doing?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 18: He saw me at my high in college, so you
Speaker 18: knew what I was capable of. And just being able
Speaker 18: to just to see him again run his defense again.
Speaker 18: It's just my first game. Heroun I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 18: I remember all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, because I remember
Speaker 18: that play and it was just all like a familiarity
Speaker 18: with Ill.
Speaker 15: You had to bide your time on the practice squad
Speaker 15: for a while. You've been active on the bengals fifty
Speaker 15: three man roster in recent weeks. Tell me a little
Speaker 15: bit about your experience of being a Bengal so far.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's been great so far.
Speaker 18: I've been started, like pretty much started from the bottom,
Speaker 18: going practice squad, but just waiting my turn, making the
Speaker 18: most of my opportunities, even it's all special teams or
Speaker 18: one player on defense, just making the most of my opportunities.
Speaker 15: All right, a few wild card topics now with Isaiah Foski.
Speaker 15: Who is your all time favorite athlete in any sport?
Speaker 18: And why this might be a crazy one, not even crazy,
Speaker 18: but I will always I got to Calvin Johnson probably
Speaker 18: love watching his film. I was a tight end back
Speaker 18: in high school, and when I was younger, I always
Speaker 18: wanted to be a tight end, even though he wasn't tight.
Speaker 18: I just love watching Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson. I
Speaker 18: was like, once I get the ball, I want to
Speaker 18: run like Adrian Peterson.
Speaker 15: Don't we all? So you're six'. Five were you megatron
Speaker 15: like as a high school tight?

Speaker 5: COACH i really really pleased with The viyer guys responded this.
Speaker 5: Week played just building off off what we thought was
Speaker 5: a good game last, week particularly in the second. Half
Speaker 5: just challenged those guys to show up and keep that
Speaker 5: Moment i'm going and so they, did absolutely. Did AND
Speaker 5: i thought, defensively you, know really shutting down the red,
Speaker 5: game not giving him anything in the run game early.
Speaker 5: On outside of that one touchdown early in the, GAME
Speaker 5: i thought that they played really. Good you, Know i've
Speaker 5: got a lot of pressure On jacoby Or, SACKS a
Speaker 5: bunch of TFLs really harassed him throughout the. Night that
Speaker 5: was awesome to. See three thirteen on third down was
Speaker 5: critical for. Us and then offense, sively uh you, know
Speaker 5: just scoring points on six of those first seven drives
Speaker 5: there to really establish you, know control of the game
Speaker 5: and be able to finish it the right. Way so
Speaker 5: so really PLEASED i thought the kicking game is good,
Speaker 5: too great part return could job at the punts Down
Speaker 5: at the end of the, Game evan had a big,
Speaker 5: ONE i think fifty seven yards you, know at a
Speaker 5: key point there to to extend the lead to nine
Speaker 5: there in the second. Quarter that was a, key key
Speaker 5: kick for. Us so just, overall please with the way
Speaker 5: that everybody approached the. Game one, week you know we
Speaker 5: had with With noah going into the week not knowing
Speaker 5: how we're gonna Have. Noah we had a lot of
Speaker 5: heavier twelve personnel groupings where he was going to be out,
Speaker 5: there and so just to keep the guys you, know
Speaker 5: in the line, room keep that energy sky. High not
Speaker 5: THAT i need to create anything to do, that but
Speaker 5: we practiced. It he caught it during the week and
Speaker 5: then felt like the right moment to get it called.
Speaker 4: Were, No i'm not aware of people's.
Speaker 5: Birthdays in, General, okay just to be crystal, clear so
Speaker 5: always assumed THAT I i don't know that information till
Speaker 5: after the.
Speaker 4: Game if what you make in.
Speaker 8: The crawd, REACTION i think they were unhappy that he
Speaker 8: was get off the.
Speaker 14: Field did you catch what that in real time.
Speaker 5: Or now you're you're in play call mode at that,
Speaker 5: point so you don't have great awareness and what's happening.
Speaker 8: Giving it to him no, chance.
Speaker 4: Zero chance.
Speaker 8: Designed to go, like, YEAH i would READ.
Speaker 5: I, mean, yes the the. Yes that was the one
Speaker 5: play where we would like to get him the. Ball
Speaker 5: the corner played pretty tight to start and then And
Speaker 5: joe kind of gave some shoulders to loosen him up
Speaker 5: and then came back to. Him so he was usually
Speaker 5: goes out there a little, quicker but they were they
Speaker 5: were taking it, away So joe soften him up a little, bit.
Speaker 4: Made a good throw and. Catch after catching the practice,
Speaker 4: no it, was.
Speaker 5: Well there's no contact really in. PRACTICE i WAS i
Speaker 5: was right. THERE i MEAN i was. THERE i wanted
Speaker 5: him just to go, down get the, four go, down
Speaker 5: put us in the second.
Speaker 4: Six and he just kept kept breaking. TACKLES i was pretty.
Speaker 4: Impressive Mark chase breaks his.
Speaker 2: Trout how nice was it to see him get off
Speaker 2: The schneider.
Speaker 5: Early and then, YEAH i MEAN i really wasn't aware
Speaker 5: of it until he pointed out in the last, game you,
Speaker 5: know during the, game and and so we're just gonna
Speaker 5: go out there and call it the way we see,
Speaker 5: it you, know that this play he scored on is
Speaker 5: just you, know a play we've run a hundred times
Speaker 5: and he did a great, job you, know making people
Speaker 5: miss and getting in the end. Zone and then the
Speaker 5: other one before the half was just you, know really
Speaker 5: good play design there By rascotti And pitch and so
Speaker 5: that one worked out.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 28: Zah what does this do For Joe burrow coming back
Speaker 28: from injury this, season playing in these games even though
Speaker 28: you're out of the, playoffs to have this kind of good,
Speaker 28: play to see it look like this when he's.
Speaker 5: Healthy, YEAH i mean we've seen this From. Joe he's
Speaker 5: got a ton of. Confidence he's playing with great, rhythm extending,
Speaker 5: plays hitting big plays down the. Field did a great
Speaker 5: job with the protection checks today because that can be
Speaker 5: really difficult and stressful against these. Guys they do a
Speaker 5: good job of attacking your protections and So joe was
Speaker 5: on it and so we get just he's playing LIKE
Speaker 5: i Know joe to. Play and it's fun to Watch.
Speaker 7: Chase, brown huge game, couple so consistent over the last eight.
Speaker 5: Weeks, yeah, well he's very versatile with how you can utilize.
Speaker 5: Him at the same, TIME i Think alignment is doing
Speaker 5: a great they're doing a great job in the run game,
Speaker 5: too so giving, him, sorry giving him great opportunity of
Speaker 5: the run game to get those get those yards beyond
Speaker 5: line of. Scrimmage and he's doing a great job making
Speaker 5: people missing space and playing through contact to the second.
Speaker 4: Level and and had you.
Speaker 5: KNOW i don't know how many explosives, today but they
Speaker 5: were they were significant runs that put us in a
Speaker 5: really good.
Speaker 4: Position chase Had.
Speaker 11: Chase brown had five touchdowns in the third quarter over
Speaker 11: the last two, weeks the third quarter three last.
Speaker 7: Week to the any rhyme or reason to, that, No.
Speaker 5: NO i mean it's it's certainly when we're at, halftime
Speaker 5: we got to come out with a. Mentality and the
Speaker 5: defense has really set the tone in the last two,
Speaker 5: weeks and the offense has countered off of. That SO
Speaker 5: i was really pleased to see us get you, know
Speaker 5: the two quick stops from the defense and then counter
Speaker 5: two touchdowns from the, offense and then you get a,
Speaker 5: chance you, know the fourth order hits to get some
Speaker 5: other guys in there and.
Speaker 4: And keep playing. Football but, UH i was really proud
Speaker 4: of the way that the.
Speaker 5: Guys came out attacked the post halftime and established the
Speaker 5: game for us and let us gain. Control, yeah he's
Speaker 5: just he's ascended all, Season he's put in great. Work
Speaker 5: he has a lot of confidence right. NOW i Think
Speaker 5: jerry's doing a great job with. Them he's taking all
Speaker 5: those things to heart and really just stepping up his.
Speaker 5: Game and that's that's been fun to.
Speaker 4: Watch that's a pretty example of how. SURE i, mean.
Speaker 5: He's you, know gonna have finished up the right way
Speaker 5: next week and and have a lot of confidence going
Speaker 5: the offseason and seeing what it can look like AND
Speaker 5: i think our defense as a, whole that's just what's
Speaker 5: been really fun for me to, see and it should
Speaker 5: be for. Everybody just their confidence continues to, increase and
Speaker 5: they understand exactly what we're asking to do and and
Speaker 5: they're starting to do it at a high. Level and
Speaker 5: and so just really proud of those guys sticking, together you,
Speaker 5: know through through everything that's happened this. Season, coaches players
Speaker 5: just just keep pushing forward and, persevering and they're having
Speaker 5: a lot of fun right.
Speaker 28: Now loud in that locker room after the, game especially
Speaker 28: with Those cody chants that, here what was the message in?
Speaker 8: There and we'll just like seeing him get we.
Speaker 5: Have to finish this off the right, way you, know
Speaker 5: and it's all we can control right, now and is
Speaker 5: what we got in front of us this one game
Speaker 5: left three. Practices got to go finish this thing the
Speaker 5: right way like these guys have been doing for, us
Speaker 5: and you, know just again important to play well in
Speaker 5: front of our home, fans you, know and finish The
Speaker 5: south the right.
Speaker 7: Way so that was out at one, point kind of
Speaker 7: came back.
Speaker 11: In how did that go in terms of he SAID
Speaker 11: i want to get back in or how did that end?
Speaker 5: Up, yeah he had a great, mindset you, know he
Speaker 5: had a shame that we needed to let rest for
Speaker 5: at least a, series and then he was able to
Speaker 5: go back out.
Speaker 4: There SO i was proud of. Him and then at
Speaker 4: the end of the, game you, know we want to
Speaker 4: get some other guys.
Speaker 28: IN i had some catches later on in the, game
Speaker 28: but for the most, part you guys had a really
Speaker 28: good job containing.
Speaker 20: Him, obviously you, know receptions leader in the.
Speaker 8: League what was the focus this week heading into this?
Speaker 4: One, WELL i Thought al had a great.
Speaker 5: Plan alan the staff had a great plan to try
Speaker 5: to minimize all of that and not make anything easy
Speaker 5: for them offensively and SO i know his production is.
Speaker 5: Catches he got a bunch there at the, end and
Speaker 5: he's a he's a heck of a player That i'm
Speaker 5: really impressed. With and AND i thought our defense did
Speaker 5: a really good job keying in and making things really
Speaker 5: difficult for M.
Speaker 7: SECH i Think schamar got To jacoby brought him down.
Speaker 22: Today do you kind of Like, miles do you feel
Speaker 22: like that's a player who's wrapping this?
Speaker 5: Up, YEAH i mean he hasn't got a chance to
Speaker 5: just be healthy for a long. Stretch it's always a
Speaker 5: stop start this, year no no fault of his own
Speaker 5: with these. Injuries and so to see him out there
Speaker 5: and again just he's accumulating a bunch of snaps over
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks and to get his first
Speaker 5: career sack and kind of get, that get that off
Speaker 5: your back a little bit before you're going into the off.
Speaker 5: Season and so again he's got he's got a lot
Speaker 5: of potential for Us.
Speaker 7: Joe playing in next. Week, yes beating into The marting
Speaker 7: get that for.
Speaker 5: Sack considering you, know like you, said up and, down
Speaker 5: he's been out moltible times with.
Speaker 7: Interest what do you think it meant.
Speaker 5: The END i think it's, meaningful you, know for for
Speaker 5: a guy who's who's working through, it, injuries rookie, year
Speaker 5: all the challenges that comes with. It again just to
Speaker 5: check that.
Speaker 4: Box that's. Done, now let's go get a lot.
Speaker 19: More oh, gratifying use it for you personally to put
Speaker 19: together some high scoring performances at the end of this.
Speaker 7: Season it's the.
Speaker 5: Gratifying part for me is that this team has maintained
Speaker 5: their energy through some really difficult times and really stuck.
Speaker 5: Together when people question what they're going to see from,
Speaker 5: us there should be no question that you, know this
Speaker 5: team is made of the right. Stuff AND i think
Speaker 5: that's just the part THAT i focus. On but we
Speaker 5: have a great group of coaches that are really stuck
Speaker 5: together and kept, coaching and these players have bought into
Speaker 5: it and provided tremendous energy for. Us and the proof
Speaker 5: isn't playing this last two weeks on the. Field and
Speaker 5: that's all we can control right now is every game
Speaker 5: that's in front of us and how we're going to
Speaker 5: react to. It and so again we got to do
Speaker 5: that for one more.
Speaker 2: Week Zach taylor after the win. Yesterday by the, Way,
Speaker 2: Dave i've updated a stat this is a great stat
Speaker 2: and shows you the importance Of burrow And chase And.
Speaker 2: Higgins and with yesterday's, win when The bengals Have, Burrow
Speaker 2: chase And higgins all together in a, game, yeah they
Speaker 2: are thirty three and. Seventeen, wow thirty three and. Seventeen
Speaker 2: that's sixty percent winning. Percentage it's about an eleven wins season.
Speaker 2: Rate when they don't have one of, them when at
Speaker 2: least one of them is, missing they're thirteen and twenty
Speaker 2: and that's about a six and a half win rate
Speaker 2: for a. Season but think about, that when the three
Speaker 2: amigos are all, together they win at about an eleven
Speaker 2: win rate per. Season pretty dang.
Speaker 3: Good, yeah and then three wins for every. LOSS i
Speaker 3: mean that, works you, KNOW i, mean and then and
Speaker 3: then the other way. Around it's not quite two losses
Speaker 3: for every, win but, man it's a it's a loss
Speaker 3: and a half for every. Victory so having those those three,
Speaker 3: together it is it's a it's a trifector. Extraordinaire Joe

Speaker 9: A corner and that was, a good well. Designed play,
Speaker 9: and obviously You know jamar.

Speaker 9: you know he's he's the same guy.
Speaker 7: Every day for the.
Speaker 9: Most part mornings sometimes he's a, little tired but once
Speaker 9: we get out, to practice he's the same guy every
Speaker 9: day and just goes about his business and goes and
Speaker 9: Produces on sundays and plays great and figures out a
Speaker 9: way to get open against very very unique technique. From
Speaker 9: defenses and he's seen it, all now so he knows
Speaker 9: what he's doing in all those, different looks and you
Speaker 9: know everybody's game plan is focused around him and not
Speaker 9: letting him, beat him and he continuously just produces at a.
Speaker 7: High level so that's not an easy thing.
Speaker 9: To DO and i don't see any other receivers in
Speaker 9: the league that get the attention that.
Speaker 7: He, does joe you are going off a Question that.
Speaker 10: Ben asked we're talking about, new schemes new players at
Speaker 10: the start of.
Speaker 7: Each season i'm.
Speaker 3: Wondering if there is anything about the kind this kind
Speaker 3: of late season momentum that can carry over into the.
Speaker 10: Next season it sounds like you think a lot of
Speaker 10: things start, from zero but he is.
Speaker 7: ANYTHING transferable i just think individual growth.
Speaker 9: Is transferable when you have young guys starting to impact
Speaker 9: the game at a high level for the, first time
Speaker 9: you have to carry that through the offseason.
Speaker 7: Because it's not just because you do it one year
Speaker 7: doesn't mean it's going to happen the. Next year and the.
Speaker 9: Guys that can build off of individual performances and growth
Speaker 9: from the year before are the ones that end up being.
Speaker 9: Great players the ones that know how to change, their
Speaker 9: body change their techniques to improve in the.
Speaker 7: Year before that's where you're. Looking for.
Speaker 4: How much did you miss this feeling while you were out?
Speaker 7: The, season yeah this.
Speaker 9: Is Why you this is why you, do it the.
Speaker 7: The highs and, the lows. The emotion it's performing with.
Speaker 7: Your guys, that's uh that's what you love. About it
Speaker 7: is there part of this?
Speaker 11: That's painful knowing at the level that you're playing now
Speaker 11: as a as, a, team, defense offense everything's coming together.
Speaker 7: IN there i could have been, a shot but there's
Speaker 7: a shot a time where we are where.
Speaker 9: We're at there's nothing we can do about it NOW
Speaker 9: except i put one fun in from the other and
Speaker 9: try to, get better go and perform again.
Speaker 7: Next week.

Speaker 19: to be able to get the sack record a home day.
Speaker 6: Celebrating there so he likes.
Speaker 11: To win what do you think his presence out of
Speaker 11: that affect The Way aaron rodgers?
Speaker 6: Played?
Speaker 22: TODAY yeah I think miles affects every, Single. Game jeff
Speaker 22: obviously he shows up in the stat sheet and a
Speaker 22: bunch of, different areas but even the things you, don't
Speaker 22: see how they have to play. THE game i mean
Speaker 22: they have to play and empty the entire game and
Speaker 22: chip both sizes or. Two, eligibles uh you know that
Speaker 22: aren't getting out in the. Route immediately so it affects
Speaker 22: how teams.
Speaker 3: Play, us kemy you talked about the way that the
Speaker 3: effort and the way these guys.
Speaker 8: Are playing, you know the way this season, has gone
Speaker 8: it would have.
Speaker 7: Been easy for a lot of people would see.
Speaker 8: To kind of act.
Speaker 1: Things up what is it about this group that they
Speaker 1: don't Seem.
Speaker 7: TO yeah I just i know this group.
Speaker 22: TOO well i know how important this game is, to
Speaker 22: them how important it is.
Speaker 15: To me we only know. One way what can you
Speaker 15: Say about deanzel there at, the end targeted all.
Speaker 8: Game and then he played.
Speaker 22: Really well, you know he's a. Great player great to
Speaker 22: have him back. Out there, you know that's a lot
Speaker 22: of time there For a Hall. Of famer so we
Speaker 22: knew they were gonna make, their plays but our guys
Speaker 22: made one more than.
Speaker 5: They did what can, you say just in general about
Speaker 5: this defensive effort to hold them down And Hold aaron
Speaker 5: rodgers down the way.
Speaker 22: They, did outstanding outstanding and a bunch of, individual Efforts
Speaker 22: obviously miles getting all the. ATTENTION out I thought tyson.
Speaker 22: WAS outstanding I thought carson battled and fought like he
Speaker 22: always does and ends up tackling the guy to. The ground,
Speaker 22: you know just a bunch of individual efforts, and, just
Speaker 22: uh that was what was.
Speaker 2: Required Today kevin stevanski on victory For the. Browns yesterday
Speaker 2: So the browns they always love throwing a monkey wrench
Speaker 2: at Anything the. Steelers do and if You're, the browns,
Speaker 2: you're thinking, all right let's go ahead and end any
Speaker 2: Momentum the bengals have and try to knock them off This.
Speaker 3: Coming, SUNDAY yeah i mean that's that's exactly the. THE situation,
Speaker 3: I mean cleveland loves To. BEAT pittsburgh I Mean. Pittsburgh
Speaker 3: cleveland it goes back, way back just Like The cincinnati
Speaker 3: bengals And The cleveland. Browns Do but pittsburgh is. MORE original,
Speaker 3: i Mean the bengals weren't, expansion FRANCHISE so I mean
Speaker 3: Cleveland and pittsburgh have been playing forever and there is
Speaker 3: a there's a lot on the line those. Football games
Speaker 3: i've seen head coaches lose their jobs because they couldn't
Speaker 3: Beat The pittsburgh steelers out There the cleveland brown head
Speaker 3: coat and. Vice Versa So kevin stefanski's, very excited. VERY excited,
Speaker 3: I mean i know that he Looks At mike tomlin
Speaker 3: as a, coaching legend and. Rightfully So mike tomlin twenty,
Speaker 3: five seasons never had a losing season With The, pittsburgh
Speaker 3: steelers and, That's crazy that's that's. Mind boggling so ANYTIME
Speaker 3: that I Remember doug deacon when he was doing games
Speaker 3: With The, cleveland browns the color analyst and former offensive
Speaker 3: lineman For The, cleveland browns they they He Said cleveland
Speaker 3: week was, so unique, so special. So DIFFERENT and i
Speaker 3: remember that the same thing Here in cincinnati when We
Speaker 3: played Pittsburgh. Or cleveland, Pittsburgh week, cleveland week there's a
Speaker 3: little bit more of a pep in. The step, you
Speaker 3: know everybody perked up even a, little bit a little.
Speaker 3: Bit More paul brown when he Played The, cleveland browns
Speaker 3: when the founding father of. Both franchises when you Beat The,
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns paul brown was like almost, in tears and
Speaker 3: it was a great feeling to win a game like
Speaker 3: that for a head coach of.
Speaker 2: That, Caliber boy and speaking of pep in, The Step
Speaker 2: miles murphy will Be Eyeing joe Burrow on sunday for
Speaker 2: a chance to set the all time. Sack Record Or. Miles, garrett,
Speaker 2: Yeah Sorry miles garrett sitting on twenty. Two sacks he
Speaker 2: needs one more sack to break the all, time record,
Speaker 2: and uh we'll be Staring At joe burrow And the Bengals.
Speaker 3: On sunday he, will be and He'll be he'll be
Speaker 3: a big primary target. For Sure orando brown will be
Speaker 3: the obstacle in. The way he's going to try to
Speaker 3: make Sure That miles garrett does not get that done
Speaker 3: Against Against joe burrow and be the new. Record HOLDER.
Speaker 3: And tj watt probably have A little christmas Present for

Speaker 3: GARRETT though i mean. THAT guy i mean he's got
Speaker 3: fifteen saxhomore multiple times in. His career he's not a one.
Speaker 3: Hit wonder this isn't just a, one season one season
Speaker 3: of a superior. Like, man no the, football gods everything
Speaker 3: came together in his. Football universe he's been doing a
Speaker 3: year after year.
Speaker 2: After year by, the Way the browns struggled to. Run,
Speaker 2: it yesterday they lost their fine rookie Running, back Jutkins
Speaker 2: The ohio. State, rookie yeah he dislocated, his ankle fractured
Speaker 2: his fibularly the, week before so they struggled to. Run
Speaker 2: It shador sanders has been, you know he's, a rookie
Speaker 2: so he has moments where he'll make a throw and you,
Speaker 2: say whoa and then you look and He's still he's
Speaker 2: only completing fifty seven percent of, his passes, seven touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Ten interceptions and you know we were. Talking earlier joe's
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks has completed seventy eight percent of.
Speaker 2: His passes shador at fifty seven that's not going to.
Speaker 2: Cut it And, that browns you figure are just in
Speaker 2: one of those scenarios where they're trying to figure out
Speaker 2: a little bit More, about shador but probably looking at
Speaker 2: another quarterback in the draft.
Speaker 3: Next, year yeah there's a. Good chance there's no question. About,
Speaker 3: It now shador more interceptions and. Touchdown passes you don't.
Speaker 3: WANT that i mean every QUARTERBACK that i ever, played,
Speaker 3: with first second or third team or, you know practice.
Speaker 3: Squad whatever we did not practice squad back in. The
Speaker 3: day but the, thirteen quarterback, it's like you just don't
Speaker 3: go into a. Football game you don't want to have
Speaker 3: a negative ratio in. A game you don't want to
Speaker 3: have one touchdown pass and. Two interceptions never mind for
Speaker 3: the season they have seven touchdown passes and. Ten interceptions
Speaker 3: that's not a trend that you want. To continue two.
Speaker 2: Segments left our final segment will be. Game balls dave.

Speaker 2: and coaching styles and yet seemed perfectly fit for the teams,
Speaker 2: they inherited and each Took a bengals team To The.
Speaker 3: Super, Bowl absolutely and that's the common denominator. Is there
Speaker 3: they had, different methods different ways, of communicating different ways of. Doing,
Speaker 3: everything really they were probably as different as different Can

Speaker 3: of business out on the football field from a. Physicality
Speaker 3: standpoint and we we just weren't a very good. Football
Speaker 3: team we did not win many. Football games and at, that,
Speaker 3: Point Uh paul Brown And mike, brown decided we're gonna

Speaker 2: a lead maybe get some, guys out get some other,
Speaker 2: guys In get Jamar Or chase brown his thousand, yards
Speaker 2: rushing and let everybody have some, fun again just like
Speaker 2: this This.
Speaker 3: PAST sunday i like the way, You're. THINKING lance, I
Speaker 3: mean i think That Getting chase brown and stars and
Speaker 3: yards should be a. BIG priority i think for him
Speaker 3: to reward him for. The season, HE said, i mean
Speaker 3: that's a. That's symbolic you know that is a that's
Speaker 3: that's a big goal to hit, right there a Thousand
Speaker 3: yards and it would be for the offensive line, as
Speaker 3: well you know that that are up there toiling and
Speaker 3: uh working anonymously in front of him and getting the
Speaker 3: job done. For, him yeah and honestly to like we,
Speaker 3: talked about to have a division win and finish four
Speaker 3: and two and then finished with seven wins on, the
Speaker 3: season and over half of those would be, division wins
Speaker 3: which is a good sign because if you do get
Speaker 3: things right and get some more pieces and turn it
Speaker 3: around and and build on a little, bit more that's
Speaker 3: the major. Tie breaker that's the big. Tie breaker so
Speaker 3: try to stay in a lofty position within the division
Speaker 3: and it bodes well. For you.
Speaker 2: You know one, final note and this is, worth mentioning
Speaker 2: and it's a little bit out of place and out
Speaker 2: of order from what we've all, talked About but trey
Speaker 2: McBride yesterday win in with the big time season over
Speaker 2: one hundred catches and, and yeah in, the end he
Speaker 2: had ten catches for seventy six. Yards yesterday but if
Speaker 2: someone's looking at the box score didn't follow. The game
Speaker 2: the even the first, three Quarters the bengals only allowed
Speaker 2: him four catches for thirty. One yards the fourth quarter
Speaker 2: he had six for. Forty five but they in the.
Speaker 2: Touchdown late but they did a really nice Job on trey.
Speaker 2: McBride yesterday, they.
Speaker 3: DID and i think that was a big reason that
Speaker 3: they won the. FOOTBALL game I mean trey. McBride is
Speaker 3: he was their. Primary guy he was their passing attack
Speaker 3: yes on, the season and, you know he was definitely
Speaker 3: on the most wanted list For the bengals defense to
Speaker 3: take care, of him take out of the, football game
Speaker 3: don't let him influence and control of the. Football game
Speaker 3: and they did a hell of a job.
Speaker 2: Of it so Let's See joe burrow as set out
Speaker 2: basically the fourth quarter of the last. Two games maybe,
Speaker 2: this week, Let's, say joe how, About. This Dave joe
Speaker 2: burrow plays the, first half they built up a, big
Speaker 2: lead And Then joe flacco takes over against his old
Speaker 2: team for the. Second half bengals get a win and
Speaker 2: get out.
