This is seven hundred WLW, the home 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.800 of the best Bengals coverage. 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.160 All right, let's get it going on this Monday night, 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.280 three full hours about to unfold. Of It's Monday, it's 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.960 Bengals line, and if it's a win, it's a victory Monday. 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.839 And we like victory Mondays. Yesterday thirty seven fourteen Bengals 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.000 over the Cardinals. Next up, the Browns come to town at 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.360 pay Corps one o'clock kickoff on Sunday. We've got so 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.880 many things to get to between now and then, coaches, players, analysis, 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.760 breakdown and more and Dave Lapham. They took on a 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.960 beaten up and beaten down Arizona team and did exactly 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.280 what you would like to see them do. The offense 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.800 was clicking on all cylinders. The defense was forcing three 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.760 and outs at punts left and right. There was fun 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.320 to he had with Cody Ford. And everybody who was 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.600 active yesterday at least a snap I had. I counted 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.360 twenty two players on offense got snaps, twenty three on 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.320 defense got snaps, plus special teams. There was fun had 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.520 by all yesterday. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.520 I think that sums it up. Lance. I think that's 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:20.080 a great analysis, with the major point being everybody had fun. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.000 Cody Ford had a great time, man, you know, to 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.240 get involved. He's he's almost like Fridge Junior. Now you know, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.600 he'll go down in Bengals Laura as William the refrigerator 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.600 of Perry Uh number two. 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:34.520 Uh. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.640 But really, I thought that they played a lot of players, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.679 like you said, and I think part of that is 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.479 there's evaluation going on. You know, the game got out 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.960 of control to the point where the Bengals had a lead, 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.120 they felt real comfortable. List so they said, Okay, this 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.160 is a good opportunity to get guys on the field, 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.000 get them game reps, game snaps. You know, we think 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.160 we know if they've improved a little bit because we've 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.480 been monitoring their progress at practice. And but you know, 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.360 game snaps are different. Game speed is different. You have 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.320 to make quicker decisions and you know, are you going 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.120 to have lapses in memory and in terms of assignment 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.079 or adjustments you have to make and to get those 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.679 guys those snaps, they're extremely valuable, and you know they're 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.960 probably hoping they can get the same thing done against 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.120 the Cleveland Browns, although the Browns man playing pretty well. 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.400 Upset in the Pittsburgh Steelers, like they did. You go 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.400 there and I think it was in Pittsburgh, wasn't it. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.000 You know, you go to Pittsburgh and you knock the 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.080 Pittsburgh Steelers off, who have playoff aspirations and they're trying 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.520 to get as high a seed as they possibly can. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.640 That's a heck of a win. I mean, Kevin Stefanski 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.680 has to be proud of all of his coaches, as 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.560 players and everybody involved there. And we'll get into a 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.480 lot of that, a lot more of that later, but 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.920 that that's a big victory. But you know, the Bengals, 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.720 the last two opponents are combined six wins and twenty 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.000 four losses. So you got you gotta hope. Now, you know, 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:02.359 the Arizona Cardinals they fall to to four and twelve. 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.360 The you know the Cleveland Browns, Hey, you know they 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.600 they they get it, they get it done. That's a 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.160 that's a big win for them down the stretch. And 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.640 I think, honestly, if the Bengals can win three in 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.040 a row lance to end the year twenty twenty five season, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.839 at least the foundations being laid for twenty twenty six. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.040 You know, it's okay, we didn't go well. You know, 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.600 we had a big lull, We won two big you know, 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.639 things fell apart injury biggest reason. Didn't play well enough 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.600 to get a playoff seed and to advance in the playoffs. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.400 But okay, we finished strong. You know, let's give them 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.400 a little credit for that. They didn't quit, They didn't 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.920 quit on each other. Nobody threw in the towel. Everybody 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.840 played hard till the end of the season. And you know, 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.119 they're I think they're hoping that this twenty twenty five 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:49.800 finish carries over to twenty twenty six. 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.720 And we talked about it a week ago, sitting in 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.080 these very seats, when you're playing a team that's wounded 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.160 and down, like the Cardinals, jump on them early. Bengals 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.720 win the toss, take the football, and March twelve place 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.200 many two yards put a touchdown on the board. You 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.080 could not have scripted it any better, absolutely, Lance, And 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.040 you know then then three and out yep for Arizona. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.080 And then the Bengals got down the field again. Yeah, 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.880 and they're at fourteen nothing before Arizona knows what hit him. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.560 I mean, you know, their heads are spinning collectively. It's 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:18.039 like geez. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.799 And now all of a sudden you have to approach 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.520 the game a lot differently. You know, down fourteen nothing 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.320 on the road that quickly, that that takes the wind 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.120 out of your sales. And the Arizona Cardinals had to 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.960 make some adjustments and the Cincinnati Bengals just poured it on. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.279 Let's pick up a reaction immediately after the game. Here's 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.120 Dave with coach Zach Taylor. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:46.919 Your offense was extraordinary today, I mean really really good, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:53.440 high percentage of the time, scoring points, red zone, unbelievably 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.919 effective in the red zone, dominant in the red zone, 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.440 on third down, dominant on third down. Those are two 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.240 big areas to be dominant. How proud of your what 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.000 your offense was able to do out there today? 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:04.880 Yeah, really proud. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.599 You know, just scoring touchdowns on six I mean scoring 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.279 points on six of our first seven drives, and really 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.760 the field goal was we had the ball in the 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.400 minus two and worked our way out of there and 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.240 we're able to get that field goal. So you know, 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.200 that's what we intend to do when we take the field. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.760 And defense, obviously, they're a great job getting us the 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.800 ball back quickly often times and getting some stops and 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.160 so I was just really proud of our team in 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:25.840 all three phases. 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:26.159 Today. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.760 Joe Burrow is playing some phenomenal football. Quarterback rating last 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.760 week of one forty six plus quarterback rating this week 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.520 of one thirty six plus against you know, pretty good 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.360 defense as well, put together good schemes, play hard. I mean, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.440 they're solid defensive units. What makes Joe Burrow so great? 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.760 Oh, he's an elite process or elite competitor, elite accuracy, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.839 incredible athleticism for the position. And I think what people 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.560 won't really understand is the level of difficulty on the 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.880 third downs and the second and ten pluses today that 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.159 face when you face Arizona. 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.800 It's unique packages that really attack you. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.479 And he was stown cold in terms of making the 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.520 protection checks and going where the ball needed to go, 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.560 and that really allowed us to convert early in the game, 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.280 where if you don't convert those then it's a whole 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.719 different ballgame. So huge credit to him, his communication and 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.880 his ability to process first. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.960 Two drives, touchdowns, fourteen points. What is to do for 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.839 you as a play caller and what does it do 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.279 for Joe Burrow and your offense and your defensive football 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.880 team to get off to that kind of start. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.520 Yeah, it's important. I mean, that's why we took the 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.080 ball in the coin toss. We win the coin toss, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.960 we take the ball. We want to establish a leader early. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.159 It's critical that we put pressure on them traveling across 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.320 the country, you know, with a little bit of how 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.480 their season's gone. You want to take away any hope 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.520 early on. And I thought our offense did a great 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.400 job of finishing with a touchdown the first drive. In 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.760 the defense getting a three and out was a great 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:48.760 way to start this game. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:55.960 Off forty five points. Last week score forty yep. But 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.440 it seems like every time you hit the field now 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.680 down the stretch, he's going to score forty points for more. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.600 What is it? What has been unlocked is what is 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.159 Joe Burrow? The skill players, what's happening offensively that just 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.000 could not be found, you know, earlier in the season. 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.280 We have unbelievable chemistry amongst the coaches and players. I 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.400 think it's it's the closest to you, and it can 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.080 be offensively in the NFL. You know, just the way 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.480 that players understand what we're trying to get out of them. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.280 I think our coaching stats is a great job, but 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.760 playing to the strengths a lot of these guys. We 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.080 can attack teams in a lot of different ways, and 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.600 so there's just a two way confidence between the coaches 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:31.880 and the players that we're going to go out there 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.520 and score when we get the opportunities, and really proud 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.760 of the way the guys attack this game. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.720 Well, it's like Bengal fans and probably players and coaches. 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.520 I don't want the season end. You guys are playing 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.480 such great football. It's entertaining. I mean, it's fun to 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.000 watch this football team go out and perform, and that's 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.280 what it's all about. Coach, how how much are you 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:52.720 looking forward to twenty twenty six? 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.840 Well, I want to finish this off the right way. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.280 We have an awesome chance in front of our home 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.520 fans to get another Divisional win and finish forward to 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.080 the division and Sweet Cleveland and finished this thing the 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.720 right way, and then and then we'll focus on all 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.480 that other stuff next year. But right now, the important 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.960 thing is that we finished this off at home in 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:09.960 front of our fans the right way. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.000 Zach Taylor immediately after the game still ahead, we'll hear 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.480 from Joe Burrow busy first out. We're always busy. We 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.600 got Joe Burrow ahead, Chase Brown ahead, Dax Hill ahead, 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.120 Jamar Chase and more. We're breaking it all down on 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.880 a victory Monday, Bengals over the Cardinals. Thanks for joining us, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.800 Hang out and relax. We've got you covered for the 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.559 next three hours. It's Bengals line of the Bengals Radio 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:37.760 Network and seven hundred WLW and ESPN fifteen thirty. We're 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.280 rolling right along in this Monday night talking Bengals and 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.680 Bengals lineup the Bengals Radio Network, seven hundred WLW at 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.920 ESPN fifteen thirty Lands but Cantleister Dave Lapham thirty seven 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.640 to fourteen. The final numbers Bengals beat the Cardinals. Joe 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.440 Burrow was twenty four of thirty one, three hundred and 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.640 five yards, two touchdowns quarterback rating. Look at those numbers, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:02.040 one twenty nine point one here's QB one after the game. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:03.520 Kind of weird here today. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:12.080 Yeah, plan because he just you've said for years at 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:13.760 you're open, you'll the ball. 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:15.280 Yeah I was. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.480 I was thinking Jamar and then safety played it pretty good, 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.400 so I just progressed outside to Cody. I threw it 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.040 to him early early in the week in practice, kind 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.480 of as a joke, but that's just how the play 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:25.960 played out. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.240 What were your what was your reaction when they said 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.400 we we gotta play for Cody maybe before Cody, like 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.160 you said, I could played with Cody in the game, but. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.559 I'm always for fun stuff like that. Number one, you know, 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:37.320 defense kind. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:43.319 Of keep him off balanced. Number two is just fun. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:49.240 I was going to Jamar first, but then I checked 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.800 Drew didn't work out. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.240 I'm outside of Cody. What did you think of Cody 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.640 with off side? What do you think of Cody with ball? 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.720 His hands couldn't believe I was watching but he was sick. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.360 Do you ever see him play basketball or it was. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:08.160 Nope? 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:09.400 I have not. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.280 Would you think the offense is a holiday? 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.840 I thought we were pretty pretty productive, pretty efficient. I 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.960 thought we were I thought Chase Brown was great. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:20.439 He's been great all year. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.680 He made plays when we had two, but stayed on schedule, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:26.840 converted third downs. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.360 I thought it was a efficient performance. 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.440 Cody just told us he was a tight end in 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:32.880 middle school and freshman year. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.160 You see the roots that I do. I do, I do. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.000 Long long time ago, but I do. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.440 I thought that Chase Brown he was phenomenal to close 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:44.120 last season. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.640 But how have you even seen him take the next 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:46.240 step this year? 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.920 Yeah, he just keeps getting better. He last year he 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.199 hit a level that you know, once you hit that level, 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.600 then you're just continuous improvement in all areas of your game. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.880 There was he didn't have any weaknesses last year, and 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.240 he just stepped up a notch this year. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.640 It's been fun to watch the. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.200 Third and twenty good exact twice. 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.120 And when you gave it to him on the third and. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.360 Twenty, are you thinking age take it and get it 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:13.320 as supposed to throw the wing. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.640 If you can't, what's going for you? Yeah? 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.240 We just called the screen there, just trying to get 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.040 it out of our hands. And you know, he made 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.800 a play, got us and filled orange, got his points. 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.640 That was a big play in the game over the 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.120 last two weeks. In the third quarter, Chase Brown House 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:28.760 combined five touchdowns. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.760 Is there any rhyme or reasons that you think. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.120 No, that's just how it plays out, Joe. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.040 There's always a lot of meetingless football. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.880 Is this What meaning does this. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.960 Kind of game have when you have this conderformance, you know, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.240 and do what you'all did today. 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.880 Yeah, that's you know, every time we go out there, 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.440 you know, we're putting our bodies on the line and 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.360 going out and trying to prove. 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:50.320 Ourselves in front of the world. 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:56.240 Playoffs are out of the question, obviously, but anytime you 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.680 step foot out there, you're playing for pride, playing for 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.040 your guys and trying to execute and trying to put 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:02.200 good stuff on tape. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:03.679 Is there a part of y'all that wants to send 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.080 a message that, hey, we might be out of it 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.760 this year, but next year we feel like we can 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:07.160 do something. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:07.360 Is that? 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:08.640 I mean? 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.280 Every every year is so new new players, new team, 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:13.120 new schemes. 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.480 We're just trying to go on play well right now. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:18.280 I know you're not. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.880 Watching every snap of the defense. You're looking all of 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.800 those things, But for them to perform the way they 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.679 did against the good offense today, what does that mean? 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.679 Yeah, we tackled well, we stopped the run. And when 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.200 you do those two things, then you get to third down, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.880 and you know anything can happen on third down. So 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.679 the key is stopping the run. And we've done that 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:39.920 for for several weeks. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.199 In a row now. It's been fun to watch out. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.520 You see Miles develop change, have you in practice? Obviously 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.079 he's been far more productive of the past few months. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.880 Yeah, he's always He's always been a good practice player. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.800 Practice is hard, just impacting the game. And like I 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.880 said earlier this week, I don't I don't know anything 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:02.800 about his specific gap response abilities on any specific plays. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.480 I just see him around the football, around the quarterback, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.880 making plays, hitting people, impacting the game in a lot 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:09.400 of different ways. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.920 It's been funne Launch Joe Burrow was dealing yesterday and Dave, 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.920 you've used the term how good he is at processing? 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.560 And from a computer standpoint, the the CPU on my 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.360 computer is the central processing unit. Explain Joe Burrow's processing 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:25.880 and how good he is at doing it. 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:26.360 He is. 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.640 I think he's the best I've seen Lance. He is. 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.000 He's phenomenal. I've been around some quarterbacks that had brilliant 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.960 football IQ like Kenny Anderson, Boomer size and the like. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.520 And I'm sure around the league there's been you know, 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:45.760 a myriad of quarterbacks that you know, players, teammates, opponents, coaches. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.720 Opposing coaches say, oh, this guy is brilliant. That's what 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.520 Joe Burrow is. Joe Burrow is brilliant. Joe Burrow when 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.280 he's he's always look at him. When he breaks the 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.000 hot on and he sets up in the shotgunner, he's 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.719 he's under getting ready to get understand. His eyes are everywhere, man, 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.000 his eyes are darting around. He is, he's absorbing everything 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.000 he can. He is he's got great peripheral vision, and 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.800 he is like checking out the entire football field. He's 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.800 looking at not only in the secondary. He's not only 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.280 looking at a guy in the secondary. And there may 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.400 be you know, they may during the course of the 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.840 week have determined that where the safety tips, you know, 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.520 when he's blitzing, or the safety tilts a little bit 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.120 when he's going to be in cover you know, cover two. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.680 Uh so watch for that, watch for that. He watches 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.520 for those little things, but those are minor compared to everything. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.280 And he is, like you said, is like computer chip 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.040 processing processing. And then he he says, Okay, here's the play, 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.840 the play was that was called. Here's the area of 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.920 the field that we're attacking. How am I going to 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.920 attack it? What do I need to do? How do 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.840 we how do I put my team in the in 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.960 the best possible position to win this snap and to 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.480 win the you know, the the series, to win the court, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.080 win the half, win the game. He's always thinking, He's 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.800 always thinking ahead. He never looks back. That's the other 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.280 thing about him that I think is part of his mentality, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.680 his process. When he does make a mistake, if he 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.720 throws an interception or screws something up, makes a poor read, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.280 throws the ball where he shouldn't have, he gets over it. Man, 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.160 he puts it away. It doesn't linger. He's one of 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.520 those guys And Okay, well I screwed that up. I 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.560 sucked on that snap. But I'm not going to suck 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.120 at anymore snaps. I'm gonna play you know, outstanding football 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.560 the rest of the way down the stretch. And that 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.240 I think that's what makes him a great leader. Is 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.120 I mean, he's got unbelievable physical and mental talent, but 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:43.840 his ability to learn to digest, regurgitate, accurately and read things, 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.320 read defenses is second to none, Dave. 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.080 The last two weeks, if Joe Burrow forty nine of 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:55.400 sixty three, he's seventy six touchdowns, no interceptions, quarterback rating 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.640 of one thirty nine. And oh, by the way, he's 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.000 basically sat out all the fourth quarter of the last 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.840 two weeks, so all those numbers are in six quarters 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.120 of action. He's been unbelievable, he really has. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.960 I mean, in a game and a half to have 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.360 six touchdowns, no interceptions and completing seventy eight percent. 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:12.000 I mean. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.840 It was a strike shortened season. The nineteen eighty two season, 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.960 Kenny Anderson completed seventy one percent of his passes, close 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:24.320 to seventy two percent for a season now again shortened season. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.200 But when you do that for four six eight games, 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.800 like you know, like these guys can do and are doing, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.640 it is remarkable. It's it's amazing how accurate Joe Burrow 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.760 is and Kenny Anderson was the same way. I remember 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.440 Kenny would ask me, you know, let's go out a 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.400 little early. I want to throw, and uh, I want 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.720 to I'm going to, you know, work on my accuracy. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.760 Naval right showal at boom balls right there, running your 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.640 nose between your He was pinpoint with his accuracy, as 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:55.480 is Joe Burrow. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:56.840 All right, here's what we're going to do. As we 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.320 reached the bottom of the hour on seven hundred wlwinue 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.080 on with Dan Horden, Steve Logan, and you see basketball 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.080 against Lipscomb. We will continue on with Bengals line until 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.240 nine on ESPN fifteen thirty. So hoops on seven hundred 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.960 football on ESPN fifteen thirty, and up next on Bengals Line, 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.680 we'll hear from Chase Brown as we continue on seven 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:23.320 hundred WLW and ESPN fifteen thirty. We're rolling right along 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.520 this Monday night, breaking down all things Bengals in the 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.480 course of three hours that I had a Bengals line 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.480 and the Bengals Radio network. In a ESPN fifteen thirty 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.600 Lancemcalister hanging out with Dave Lapham. We've heard from Zach Taylor, 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.320 We've heard from Joe Burrow. Let's talk about Chase Brown, 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.639 who had another Chase Brown type day when it was 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.439 all said and done, twenty two carries, one hundred and 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.040 one yards in the ground, two touchdowns through the air, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:50.040 three catches for forty yards, including a nineteen yard swing pass. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.280 Here's Chase after the game with Dave. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:53.760 How do you feel about your game? How do you 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:54.760 feel like you've been playing. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.720 I've been playing well, making the most opportunities I come. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:17:59.359 On with my way. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.439 But most importantly, like like you said, being able to 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.600 receive the ball and then step up and protection is 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.520 I don't know. We take pride in and this offense, 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.800 especially in our own so I mean like Samaj did today, 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.720 like he stepped up and knocks somebody on there butt. 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:14.640 That's like a touchdown as. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.080 Far as energy wise, and how we feel about that. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:21.000 So feel really good about how we're playing. 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.280 Just got to finish off the season good and bring 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:24.440 that energy into next year. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.040 Samaja in yourself that check sept It's got some juice, man. 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.240 I mean, you guys can do everything. Both of you 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:33.040 are complete. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:33.520 You know. 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.520 Samaji like yourself, runs the ball very effectively like you do. 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.119 Is a good receiver, runs good routes, nil stick his 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.280 nose in there and plaster linebackers and defensive backs as well. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.720 He definitely will. What does it do for this offense 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.840 when both of you and the backfield at the same time. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:51.520 I think it gives us a boost. I mean we're 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.520 both a threat. You can't really predict what we're doing. Like, 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.879 even if I'm out there on third down, doesn't mean 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:00.320 it's going to be a run or a pas. I 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.000 can so step up their protection. And likewise, if you 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.200 know some AJ's in there in early downs, it's it's 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.159 not like you know, it's not like we're just going 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:07.760 to pass the ball. 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:08.720 He can run the ball as well. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:13.040 So I think we're both versatile players and as far 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.120 as what we bring to the table, and they keeps 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:16.240 defenses on their heels. 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.080 Joe Burrow phenomenal quarterback. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:20.280 I mean one of one. 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.560 Obviously he's MVP. I mean when he gets enough snaps 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.840 every year, he's going to be an MVP. There's no 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.400 no question about it. How different is this offense when 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.639 Joe Burrows at the helmet quarterback cletally different? 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.960 I mean when Joe's playing and he brings it, brings 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:35.080 a different energy. 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:36.960 To the locker room, to the stadium. 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:41.000 Like, so you feel that going in the games he 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:41.600 means a lot. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.720 And you know we've missed him this whole year, but 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.080 the way that he's been playing the especially with the 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:48.400 season and how it's been. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.240 Like, I mean, he could have easily just called the quits, 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:52.320 but you know he's. 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:53.800 A competitor and he wants to come back and he 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:55.119 was always trying to prove himself. 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.639 So that's a guy that you know, you want to 0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.760 play behind and will push you to play hard. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.600 Jamar Chase and t Higgins pretty good receivers. Man, that's 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.440 a pretty good duo. There are right, pretty good duo, 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.399 as good as there is in the in the National 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.199 Football League. What does it do for the rest of 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.120 the offensive skill players to have those two guys doing 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:16.119 their thing out in the field. 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.680 Yeah, they demand a lot of attention. Having two number 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.040 one receivers and the best quarterback in the world, I 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:26.240 mean demands a lot of They demand a lot of attention. 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.600 So it opens up, you know, space for guys like 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.600 myself and you know, Dre and samaj and all the 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:33.960 playmakers that we have in this offense. 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.960 What about your defense. They've been playing pretty well. I 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.080 mean their graft has gone up the last month or so. 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.879 They put together some pretty good football games, and I 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.439 mean they didn't let Arizona do much of anything. They 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.320 kept them out of the end zone. Big time. What 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.560 they did on third down was extraordinary. What they did 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.800 in the red zone was extraordinary. What about your defense today? 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:58.080 Yeah, I mean, you know, coach Connor Bapa stat in 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.320 the locker room within the game talking about three thirteen 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.560 third downs that's what that's all they were able to 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.600 execute today on So that's huge, giving us the ball back, 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:09.240 allowing us to go out there and. 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:10.400 Put points on the boy. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.400 So that's complimentary football with there. 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:14.960 And then finally you got a cup. You got another 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:16.840 game left. You got two in a row, now, two 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.360 wins in a row. You've got the Cleveland Browns who 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:21.880 just had a big upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.199 They did beat them, Yeah, they knocked them off. So 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.280 they'll be coming in here on a bit of a high. 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:27.760 Obviously. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:30.600 What does it mean for this football team to win 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.080 three in a row to finish the season. 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.000 It's finnas strong. I mean, it's just for everybody in 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:36.560 the locker room. You want to play for your brothers, 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.840 So why not finish the season on a win and 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:41.520 bring that energy in the next thing. 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:44.879 Appreciate it, Appreciate your time. You had a hell of 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.280 a season, My man, keep working Sir. 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.560 Chase Brown after another big productive day both catching the 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.800 ball and rushing the ball and David. Usually when you 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.200 play video games, there's a button. There's like a turbo 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.520 button or a power boost button, and I love it 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.760 when Chase Brown gets the ball, it's almost like you 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.640 hit that button and he boomm. And yesterday he been 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.720 tossed in a jump cut off of one. I'm like, 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.280 wait minute, video games don't do that. He was something 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:09.840 again yesterday he really was. 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.040 I mean when when you look at Chase Brown, such 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.960 a valuable asset to the offense because you got a 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.359 complete running back there. You got a running back that 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.560 can run the football well. Like you mentioned last, the explosiveness, 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.920 I mean, his first step quickness is that what you're 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:29.800 talking that video game. It's like boom, He's He's at 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.639 close high full speed, if not full speed, in a 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.080 step or two. It is unbelievable how quickly he can accelerate. 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:42.520 And that I think defensive players underestimate that. They they 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.320 misjudge it, they misstime it. You know, all of a 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.879 sudden point, he's up on them before they realize it, 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.720 and he'll power through them. I mean rarely does he 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:53.240 get hit and knocked backwards. When he gets hit, he's 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.040 either falling forward or he's no gain, you know. I 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.520 mean it's not he's not getting any pick on any 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.520 additional yardage. But I'm telling you, man, the guy, he 0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:06.320 really he lowers his hips, sinks his hips, bends his knees. 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.200 He's got great flexibility the way he can run the football, 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:11.960 and then the way he can put his foot in 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.520 the ground and change direction. I mean on a dime, 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:18.560 cut on a dime, and he's playing his best football, 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.520 it really is down the stretch of the season, and 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:25.440 he's putting together one hundred yard scrimmage days time after time. 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:29.159 In terms of yards rushing, in yards receiving. He's a 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.040 complete back because that's the other thing that he does. 0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.280 Runs great routes out of the backfield, and he's a 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.040 very sure catch. Joe Burrow has all the confidence in 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.560 the world. And Chase Brown catching the football in fact, 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:42.760 I mean it looks a little fuzzy or doesn't like 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:46.160 what he sees down, he'll check it down to Chase 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.960 Brown and say, okay, second and five, second and four, 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:51.440 let's live for that down. You know, Let's not waste 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.639 it down here, so and then the final thing is 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.879 he'll stick his nose right into him in on a linebacker, 0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.000 right in the guy's chest, and same thing, safety or 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.439 whoever's trying to pressure Joe Burrow's quarterback. He's going to 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:05.000 keep his quarterback clean at all costs. 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:08.119 We're talking nine hundred and forty seven yards rushing. So 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.680 he's got a chance for one thousand this coming nice 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:14.000 Sunday against the Browns. He has sixty five catches. They've 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.560 targeted him eighty two times this season for sixty five catches. 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:20.600 And you mentioned it, Dave. That checkdown or that swing pass, 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.000 that's lethal. I mean, sometimes it's almost unfair because the 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.600 guys in space have no chance to bring down Chase 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:28.080 Brown in some cases absolutely. 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.000 I mean Paul Brown used to we had a running back, 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.080 Essex Johnson, and Paul Brown used to say to Kenny Anderson, 0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.720 when you in the West Coast offense and the Bengals, 0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.000 it's not exactly the West Coast offense, but there are 0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:43.359 some principles there. And you know, Paul Bown would say, 0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:46.159 all right, if you don't have anything that you like 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.560 down the football field, get it in Essex Johnson's hands, 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.000 if he's swinging out of the backfield, that's like a 0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:54.639 long lateral. If it's a five yard hook down the 0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:57.520 football field, you should hit that ninety nine times out 0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.600 of one hundred. Get the ball in Essex Johnson's and 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:04.359 we're advancing the ball, we're you know, moving the down 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:09.000 in distance marker. So that's he's the kind of guy. 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.400 In fact, he reminds me a little bit of Essex 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:16.440 Johnson because built the same way, not you know, five nine, 0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.640 five ten, two hundred and fifteen, two hundred and twenty pounds, 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:24.200 more powerful because of that build, more explosive and powerful 0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.560 than defenders realize. Uh, Chase Brown's gonna be around a 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:28.200 long time. 0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.800 Still ahead, Let's flip the script to the defensive side 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.479 of things here from Dax Hill. As we continue, He's 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:37.080 Dave Lapham, I'm lancemacallister. We thank you for tagging along 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.240 with us tonight it's Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio 0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:48.240 Network and ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Keep moving 0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:50.600 right along in this Monday night. It's a victory Monday. 0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:53.400 We love victory Monday's. Time flies when you're having fun 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:56.200 with a thirty seven fourteen win over the Kurdles. Let's 0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:59.680 talk about the defense. Fourteen points allowed yesterday, one late 0:25:59.760 --> 0:26:04.119 drive I've and all around effort from the defense is 0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:07.200 the effort continues to ramp up, and certainly Dax Hill 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:09.640 has been very good for this team. Let's hear from 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:11.760 Dax after the game with Dan Horde. 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:16.320 Dax, you had at least three pass breakups today, maybe more. 0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:18.639 How did you feel about your own performance today? 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:19.160 Oh? 0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:19.840 I feel great. 0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:23.800 I mean, just came out fast and yeah, I'm just 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.800 in a lot of good positions this week, and I 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:29.280 felt like that was just a testament of the week 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:29.919 that we had. 0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:31.760 On defense and practice. 0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:34.040 I felt like that kind of started throughout. 0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:38.399 The early in the week and showed today as a result. 0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:39.280 I love to win. 0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:43.280 So last week, the starting defense gave up fourteen before 0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:45.760 the Dolphins scored a late kind of garbage time touchdown. 0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:48.879 Today was seven until the Cardinals scored a late garbage 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:53.240 time touchdown. How has that impacted the feeling of you 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.800 guys on defense with the way that you've grown in 0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:57.000 the tail half of the season. 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.840 Oh yeah, I mean really just you know, holding guys 0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:02.160 to a certain amount of points. I mean, I feel 0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:04.640 like if you know, if we start fast and hold 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:06.639 them to you know, just a couple of points, and 0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:09.840 I feel like that'll bleed into like the second half. 0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:12.280 And I mean we had that one touchdown that we 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.560 shouldn't have given up. But I felt like we came back, 0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:17.520 you know, in the second half, ready to you know, 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.399 stop whatever that or stop whatever they were gonna do, 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:22.280 and they didn't really do a whole lot. I mean, 0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:24.000 we had a lot of pressure on the quarterback, so 0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:26.080 we kind of just made it hard on them from 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:26.840 the second half. 0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:31.520 With Jalen playing inside recently, you've been playing outside. I 0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.320 don't know that there are two outside corners playing better 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.440 together right now than you and DJ. Do you feel 0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:37.880 that way? 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:38.399 Oh? 0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:39.000 Yeah, for sure. 0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:39.920 I mean I definitely. 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.359 I mean he started the momentum out you know, early 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.399 throughout the year, and you know he's. 0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:44.840 Still doing it. 0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:48.280 And you know, whenever I, h, you know, moved outside, 0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.520 I really just wanted to, you know, you know, uphill 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.160 uphold the standard and just hold my own out there. 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.200 So you felt like we Yeah, we kind of just been. 0:27:56.840 --> 0:27:59.400 Bouncing bouncing off each other the last couple of weeks. 0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.960 So it's been great for both of us. 0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:05.480 Tell me about what it was like to be a 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.760 defensive player today. When Cody Ford made his twenty one 0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:09.960 yard catch, I. 0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:12.280 Was like, I mean, if I was out there on defense, 0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:14.080 I'm like, man, I'm playing I'm playing off I'm like, 0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:15.760 this guy is not getting the ball right now. 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:18.360 He got the ball and that was like so surprising. 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:19.960 But yeah, it was just funny just seeing that on 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:21.520 the defense. I'm like, there's no. 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:22.520 Way he's catching the ball. 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.040 But man, we're just all excited on the sideline and 0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:26.840 happy before him his birthday. 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:30.200 So why not won by twenty four last week? Twenty 0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.560 three this week? He got the Browns at home next week? 0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:35.600 What would a solid three game winning streak to end 0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:36.400 the season mean to. 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.640 Everybody momentum to next year? 0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.040 You know, just ending on a good note, regardless of 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:43.560 the record and the season that we had, And I 0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:44.840 think that's something you can work off of. 0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.160 So Ingrat's in a great performance. 0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:47.400 Appreciated me. 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:49.960 Dax Hill after the game, and Dave. Every time I 0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.080 heard Dax name called or watched him, he seemed to 0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:55.760 be right at the point where he's batting a pass down, 0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:58.080 he's defending a pass, he's breaking up a passing and 0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:00.160 that's a guy who's now in his fourth year and 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.440 for the first couple of years, is his safety is 0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:03.920 a corner or is he gonna play what a we're 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:07.640 gonna do? It seems like he's now locked in, and uh, 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:09.680 he's he's prospering right now. 0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:12.000 He really is. Prospering is a great word, and I 0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:15.720 think the defense is prospering as a result. I mean 0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:19.880 Al Goldin decided that, you know what, this guy has 0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:25.200 traits and characteristics to be an unbelievable cover corner, you know, 0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:28.080 a shutdown type guy, a guy that when we decide 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.320 to play man, he can get up and put his 0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:32.600 hands on people and rewrote him and bump and run 0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:34.719 coverage and then flip his hips and run with him 0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.400 and cover anybody in the National Football League. So it's like, 0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:42.120 you know, now he has the versatility to do the 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.440 other things. He can still play nickel, he can still 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.920 play safety. He can do all those kind of things. 0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:50.600 And that's invaluable for Al Golden and the defensive coaches 0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.520 there as their game planning. But Dax Hill is a 0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:56.640 superb athlete. I mean, he's got he's big, he's got 0:29:56.640 --> 0:30:00.400 good size for a guy in the secondary, very very intense, eligent, 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:05.400 you know, he's he's very intelligent guys, a guy with 0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.240 not just football but just basic you know. I mean, 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:10.240 the guy reads it seems like he reads the Wall 0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:12.000 Street Journal in the New York Times. He's one of 0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.120 those kind of guys that's very very uh interesting and 0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:17.120 fun to talk to in the locker room. He's a 0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:20.880 he's very bright, but I think he's gonna be big 0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:25.320 time and uh you look at uh a DJ Turner. 0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:29.800 This guy, I think is the other shutdown corner. I 0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:31.520 think they've got for years to come. 0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:33.080 That's an awfully nice pairing. 0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:36.800 Young got a lot, a lot of growth still. It 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:39.560 is I mean that there's not many teams in the 0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.360 NFL that can say we have two young cornerbacks that 0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:44.920 will put all our chips in on the table and 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.720 uh and bet that they're gonna they're gonna uh be 0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.280 big time performers for us. I think the Bengals are 0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:51.320 in pretty good shape right there. 0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:53.400 Boy and David note I saw today from our guy 0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:56.360 Joe Goodberry on Twitter the Bengals over the last six 0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:59.560 weeks defensively, they are number one in the NFL on 0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.960 third down defense, and boy, if you're looking for progress 0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.360 and where this defense was early in the season. Had 0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:08.600 I told you there six weeks in the back end, 0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:10.720 there'll be number one in the league in third down defense, 0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.000 you would have said, you're crazy. And it's happening before 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:13.680 our very eyes. 0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:17.120 It is. I mean two areas where they are excelling defensively, 0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:21.120 particularly all year, obviously in the third down, but here 0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.320 recently in this in this surge that they're having defensively 0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.400 is the red zone. I mean, teams are getting in 0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.040 the red zone, the Bengals are shutting them down, They're 0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:31.440 locking them up, They're not not giving up touchdowns. The 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.400 best teams are coming away with the three points and 0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.640 they're not giving up seven. So that four point differential 0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:39.600 with the Bengs and Joe Burrow going in the red 0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:43.160 zone scoring touchdowns hold the opponent to three. You know, 0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:45.960 missus Riley's math tells me that, you know, you keep 0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:49.360 getting four points per possession like that, you're gonna you're 0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:51.680 gonna be in pretty good shape when the final tally 0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:56.560 of the game is totaled up. So I think that 0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:59.760 that's that's something that you can't take for granted. And 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.400 the Bengals are prideful of how they're handling third down 0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:04.080 in the red zone. 0:32:04.120 --> 0:32:07.880 Forced five three and outs yesterday, got a fourth down stop. 0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:10.520 And I'm looking at that total number on third down yesterday. 0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:12.600 I think it was three for thirteen. Yeah, Arizona was 0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.720 three for thirteen on third down yesterday. 0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:17.240 That'll work, That will definitely work. That dog will hunt 0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:22.520 all day every day. You know, that's three for twelve 0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:25.120 is twenty five percent. So you're lower than that. You're 0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:30.320 barely over over twenty percent, and that is staggering. I mean, 0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:34.720 when you hold an NFL team to twenty two percent 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:36.400 or whatever on third down, you've had a hell of 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:36.720 a day. 0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:40.360 When we continue speaking of big days, about Jamard Chase, 0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:43.680 perspective on him and a stat that will put his 0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:45.920 career to this point in context. As we roll on 0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.920 with Bengals out on the Bengals Radio Network and ESPN 0:32:48.960 --> 0:33:01.160 fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station, We're back on Bengals line 0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.240 of this Monday night of the Bengals Radio Network in 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.160 ESPN fifteen thirty, were sorting through yesterday's win over the 0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:10.640 Colonels thirty seven fourteen. The final score. We've alternated offense, defense, 0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:12.560 let's go back to the offensive set of things, where 0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:15.560 Jamar Chase had a seven catch day, sixty yards and 0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:19.200 two touchdowns. Here's Jamar after the game mid October. 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:21.640 Since you scored a touchdown, I knew you were aware 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:26.400 of that. How much were you just efforting to get 0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:27.600 back at the end zone today? 0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:31.560 My first well, I was itching to get in there, 0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:32.040 if I'm being. 0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:35.640 Honest, for my first ties down earlier, I was fighting 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:37.280 myself to get in there. I walked in the building 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.080 today telling myself, I'm gonna make sure I get in 0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:39.880 there some type of way. 0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:42.200 So you saw the way you spiked the ball. 0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:44.840 Was that just a release of it's been two months 0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:45.920 since I've been here. 0:33:46.320 --> 0:33:48.600 Yeah, I didn't even know what celebration I wanted to 0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:50.800 do as I scored, Like as I know, I ain't 0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:51.960 been in there in a minute, you know what I'm saying. 0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:52.800 I just ain't know what they're doing. 0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:55.360 I got in there when you when you caught that pass, 0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:58.920 it's a nineteen yard catch. You had to break multiple tackles. 0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:00.560 Are you thinking touchdown the moment when you catch it? 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.040 Once I made the first du miss, That's when I 0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:05.800 started thinking, tis now, I'm like I'm right there. 0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:09.439 So when you go into that mode after the Cats 0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:13.760 where you're just dodging cacklers, what's going on through your head? 0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:14.320 Uh? 0:34:16.239 --> 0:34:18.040 Nothing, I don't know. I don't think nothing. I think 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:19.800 everything else is just instincts in that moment. 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:23.000 What is it about the Cardinals your last time again, 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:24.120 stem you went off of the whatever? 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:27.000 One two yards, three touchdowns, two scores this week? Is 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:29.320 it something about that. 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:30.120 That jersey that just sets you off? 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:32.640 No? 0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:34.520 No, not really, I don't I'm not sure, you know, 0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:37.560 Just so it happened. I haven't scored in a couple 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:39.920 of weeks, and this is the game we're playing, So 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:40.920 I think that's what happened. 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.279 How much wellmnum did that give you guys to get 0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:46.080 in the end zone first series? 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.080 Uh, that's what we needed, you know what I'm saying, 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:50.880 Especially on the first series. That's how we get out 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:52.720 of momentum going for the second series and the third 0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:53.800 and so forth. 0:34:53.880 --> 0:34:56.160 So that first series is always our through. 0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.840 How much fun have you more of this offense the 0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:02.200 last two weeks? Is put up really big numbers. We 0:35:02.239 --> 0:35:03.680 know what's the end of the season. We know you're 0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:05.880 not going to the playoffs, But is it meaningful for 0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:07.359 the offense to perform this way. 0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:10.400 Yeah, I mean that's what we expect from the beginning 0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:12.160 of the season and didn't really go out way. But 0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:13.759 we know we're caple blub at end of the day 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.000 and what opportunities we could put ourselves in, but we've 0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:16.760 got to execute. 0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:17.719 How much funny is. 0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:21.640 That we're not too big it's been It's been fine period, 0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.480 just because we've been winning. I think that's the biggest thing, 0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:24.480 you know what I'm saying, When you win and you 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:25.360 having the most fun. 0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:27.800 Because stacking wins at the end of the season actually 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:29.239 meet anything with no playoffs. 0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:35.160 M Yes and no. 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.040 If I'm being completely honest, you know what I'm saying. 0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:38.080 I think at the end of the day, at the 0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:39.880 end of the season, if you don't have a playoff, 0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:42.359 I think that's more of a character on your part 0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:44.200 finishing the season for the organization. 0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:47.279 But there's different ways to go look at it. 0:35:47.680 --> 0:35:50.000 You got an outside chance with a big game next 0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:52.960 week to break your own record for most catches of 0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:55.560 the season with the Bengals. Is that something that's going 0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:56.759 to be in the back of your mind as you 0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:57.680 prepare for next week. 0:35:58.520 --> 0:35:59.759 No, I didn't even know I was that girl. 0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:00.360 I don't know. 0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:02.400 I'm the close how many I got? I mean, catch it. 0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:03.600 I'm away with it with I. 0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:08.080 Think you're at one seventeen. Last year was what one? 0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:15.320 Okay, I ain't getting at this year. No, nah, I 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:15.719 ain't geting. 0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:15.960 Edit. 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.560 I like twelve more catches and getting editor. 0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:21.399 You're the first player in NFL history to have five 0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:23.080 straight years. Let's start your career of five straight years, 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:27.000 thousand receiving yards, eighty receptions in seven or more touchdowns. 0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:34.040 Thoughts you said, talk to you said, Uh, just just 0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.839 a blessing, good opportunity, a good position. I'm in, great 0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:40.400 guys around me, great algagimization for me. And then you know, 0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.400 I just fit the fit, the perfect pitcher. 0:36:42.719 --> 0:36:46.839 Jamar with two touchdowns his first touchdown catch since hard 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:50.279 to believe October the sixteenth, That was the Thursday nighter 0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:53.480 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But he gets to yesterday and Dave, 0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:55.719 how about this number? This, This will give you perspective. 0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:58.760 He's the first player in NFL history in his first 0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:02.520 five seasons with at least eighty catches, a thousand yards 0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:06.640 and seven touchdowns in each of his first five seasons. 0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:08.000 He's alone at the top. 0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:10.040 Of that list, and they think of all the great 0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.160 receivers that there have been, you know, I mean in 0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:17.279 Jamaar Chase's time frame, that is that's incredible. Now, you know, 0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.080 the advantage that he has is he's got a guy 0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:22.279 that played college football with and they played together at 0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:24.360 a very high level. And I mean he was the 0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.560 best receiver in college football and his quarterback was a 0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:29.400 Heisland Trophy winner. So those two, you know, they know 0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:33.920 each other cold. I mean, they can finish each other's sentences, 0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:37.839 you know. I mean, they know what their favorite meals are. 0:37:37.880 --> 0:37:41.080 They know everything about each other and it shows up 0:37:41.080 --> 0:37:43.880 on the football field and they are fun to watch. 0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:47.680 It's almost like you cannot single cover Jamar Chase. And 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:50.120 the Arizona Cardinals did not do that very often. When 0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:52.880 they did, he and Joe Burrow torched him. You know, 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:56.320 they took advantage of it. But I mean the Arizona Cardinals, 0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:59.919 they had a corner in a safety working there trying 0:37:59.920 --> 0:38:04.359 to work different leverages against Jamar Chase. A good part 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:06.719 of that football game, a high high percentage of that 0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:09.040 football game. And that's nothing new. I mean, it's been 0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:11.320 happening to Jamar Chase for a while. 0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:11.560 Now. 0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:14.640 I mean, he is in my mind, the best receiver 0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:20.960 in football because he's got breakaway speed. He can finish anything, 0:38:21.160 --> 0:38:26.920 take anything to the house. But he's also very strong, physical, powerful, 0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.040 will make the tough catch, We'll make the third down 0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.880 catch when it's a bang bang play and you have 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:35.000 to hold onto the football or you have to hold 0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:37.239 on to the football, break a tackle to move the 0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:39.719 chains and make a first down. Jamar Chase is one 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:41.680 hell of a football player. 0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:43.920 See you just laid it out perfectly, and I hope 0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:45.520 people appreciate it because he can. 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:45.960 He can. 0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:47.840 He's got the hands and the catcher and he's to 0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:50.200 make the tough catch. Then he's got the ability to 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.279 make a move to make one guy miss and then 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.319 the next guy. He can break a tackle lot. There's 0:38:54.360 --> 0:38:57.479 not many guys who can catch it, shimmy and also 0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:00.840 blow through somebody. He's total package. 0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:03.960 He really is. And I mean you you can almost 0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.799 get a highlight reel, yes, you know when when they're 0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:10.680 doing the uh the end of the season video review 0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:13.680 of the of the Bengals season this year, it could 0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:16.440 be you know, every game could be Jamar Chase de Marchase, 0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:20.360 Jamar Chase. I mean, because he has highlight plays in 0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.400 every single football game that the dude plays in. That 0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:26.040 uh just that's a testament to his greatness. All right, 0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:28.200 that's one hour in the books. Just like that second 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.080 hour to follow.

I was like, oh, it was 0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:19.920 the first time everyone's saying my name. That was crazy. 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:22.719 That was that was impressive name like that. 0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:26.000 No, never, this was in the works all week. It 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:29.920 sounds like, yeah, there was, So just tell us about 0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:32.560 when it was first drawn up and what was your 0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:35.280 reaction to potentially being used as a receiver. 0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:37.640 It was drawing up earlier in the week, and like 0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:39.520 I got to sell to Charlie, like pitch kind of 0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:41.880 broughty to me, and I thought he was joking, you know. 0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:44.239 And then we went out there practice and he was like, 0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:46.360 all right, here's the play and we started running in 0:41:46.400 --> 0:41:47.800 and then we went to practice the next day we 0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:50.719 ran it again and I was like, all right, I 0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:53.480 think we're actually going to call this. And then we 0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:55.360 had mentioned it last night, like, hey, if we get up, 0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:58.440 some points were calling Cody's play. So that's what happened. 0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:02.440 And are you the ball if they basically don't cover 0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:05.360 you tightly, if they just kind of slop off expecting 0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:06.400 that you're not going to get. 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:08.680 It, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know 0:42:08.760 --> 0:42:12.320 the number I was in the progression or anything, because 0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:15.439 Joe kept telling me just get wider throughout the week 0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:17.680 and the formation. So eventually I was like, all right, 0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:18.799 I think he's just telling me to get the hell 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:21.640 out the way so I don't mess anybody else's routes up. 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.520 But it was a different story when it all played out. 0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:27.520 The yards after catch were impressive. I didn't realize you 0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:28.360 were so nimble. 0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:30.840 Oh yeah, I'm an athlete. 0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:35.000 Of getting into the end zone. 0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:36.759 Once you got down that slideline. 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.759 Yeah, everyone was like, why you ain't scored, and I'm like, well, 0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:41.960 I would not trying to score. I was trying to score, 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.160 but I was just running with my head down and 0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.359 I was like, when I look up, I'll be where 0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:47.960 I'm at and whatever happens happens. 0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:50.480 Came in you were you nervous? 0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:51.440 What was the feeling like when you. 0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:52.040 Were the play calf? 0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:54.040 I mean I was a little nervous, but I think 0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:56.279 I got more nervous as he threw the ball to 0:42:56.320 --> 0:43:00.040 me and everything went slow, and I was because I 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:01.680 guess he kind of just threw it to my test, 0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:04.360 but out there he really like threw a field shoulder 0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:06.960 and I was like, okay, this was this was like 0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:10.400 a little anxious. 0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:12.600 What was it like to sit up, I mean, drop 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:13.600 all by yourself? 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:16.880 Dream come true? I guess just every lineman's dream. The 0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:18.479 lineup is a receiver one time. 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.400 Do you think the coach is knew it was your birthday? 0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:24.040 I think they did. I think they did. 0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:27.520 Were always lying. 0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:29.560 No, I was a tight end in junior high in 0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:33.200 my first year of high school, so I got some experience. 0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:39.840 Who was your last touch against uh. 0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:39.920 Brain Middle School? I think. 0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:43.680 Yeah. 0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:46.880 I mean you know when pitch came here early in 0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:48.920 the week, did you think these guys are lost than 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:49.839 the Yeah. 0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:52.000 I thought he was joking. I thought he was just 0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.839 like pulling my leg. And because you know, we always joke. 0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:57.560 Lineman always joked with the coaches like, hey, I told 0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:59.840 me about them in the ball, and you know, we 0:43:59.880 --> 0:44:02.759 all we talk about it and I've been here three years, 0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:04.480 like and they're like, hey, you never know when time's 0:44:04.480 --> 0:44:07.160 gonna come. We line you up as the big why 0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:09.400 we throw you the ball? And then he threw the 0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:11.480 ball today. That was crazy win a problem see me, 0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:15.239 he was just laughing. I think he was impressed more 0:44:15.400 --> 0:44:17.920 than anything. I think he was impressed more than anything. 0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.160 So you lined up at full back on a couple 0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:23.080 of snaps. Have they ever practiced giving giving it to you? 0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:24.200 It's a goal line full back. 0:44:24.560 --> 0:44:27.080 No, but I've been trying to get him the I've 0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:29.280 been I've been pushing down with more than a reception. 0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.200 Heay, based on your yards after catch, I think the 0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:33.640 ndoff must happen. 0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:38.040 I think so ball to get on the goal. No, 0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:41.120 not as much as I really thought, Like I kind 0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:45.359 of expected it, but I was like, he might dy. 0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:47.840 When you heard the stadium chanting your name? What was 0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:48.680 that like for you? 0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:52.120 That was like a surreal moment. I've never been in 0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:56.320 a and it's like a sporting event or like anywhere 0:44:56.320 --> 0:45:00.399 at all where like the old population of was there 0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:02.840 chanted my name. It was crazy. 0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:06.000 Well, the host game locker room, like I weird the 0:45:06.000 --> 0:45:07.600 codey through the wall cheer. 0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:10.760 Just take me through that moment. It was awesome. 0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:12.759 I got to feel like, you know, one of those 0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:14.480 guys that catch the ball every day, and it was 0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:16.640 that was a fun time. Where is the ball? 0:45:16.680 --> 0:45:17.520 Like, you have the game ball? 0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:19.279 I sue over here now right here? 0:45:19.640 --> 0:45:20.360 So where does that go? 0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:22.360 You have a You gotta have a spot in mind. 0:45:24.560 --> 0:45:26.880 It's gonna go in my off season house in Dallas somewhere. 0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:29.120 I don't know yet, but I probably put it on 0:45:29.160 --> 0:45:31.080 the shelf and never touch it again. 0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:34.600 Now I talk to any other offensive linemen, like, you know, 0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:36.240 they asked me to get the reception. 0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:38.880 Was there anything talking about anybody else trying to steal 0:45:38.960 --> 0:45:39.520 this from you? 0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:40.800 And like this has to do this. 0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.400 No, the guys, the guys were excited for me as 0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:46.160 soon as we talked about the player.

He 0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:08.360 will never forget. Everybody was asking about it. The smile 0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:11.880 on his face said at all. It's being replayed around 0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:14.960 the football world today. And I like what Zach said 0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:18.200 about the energy it brought to not just the offensive line, 0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:22.279 to the stadium, to the press box, you name it. 0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:24.400 Everybody was like, did you see that? 0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:29.480 Now that's true. It's like, Wow, I'm here for a 0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:33.080 piece of Bengal history. It's like you know the fridge 0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:35.520 up there in Chicago with Dia Bears, you know, did 0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:39.799 his thing now you got a defensive lineman for the 0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:43.840 Cincinnati Bengals doing his thing, you know, And that twenty 0:46:43.880 --> 0:46:49.200 two yard play was extremely athletic. I mean, showed good 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:52.560 ability to catch football, gets your shoulder pads squared up 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.799 and run some people over and get yards after catch, 0:46:55.880 --> 0:46:58.480 yards after contact and get it done. He came to 0:46:58.520 --> 0:47:02.160 the sideline want more. You know, how how are you 0:47:02.200 --> 0:47:06.040 gonna involve me? Uh in this offense more? Zach Taylor? 0:47:06.080 --> 0:47:08.520 And uh, now, now what he needs to do is 0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:09.280 run the football. 0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:09.640 You know. 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.560 They lined him up at full back that formation when 0:47:12.600 --> 0:47:14.839 they had seven offensive linemen and he was lined up 0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:16.919 in the full back position to head over a ton 0:47:17.440 --> 0:47:21.040 literally a ton of weight of offensive line out there. 0:47:21.480 --> 0:47:23.560 That was that was tilt in the field, and there's 0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:26.759 no question about that. But you know, I think he 0:47:26.840 --> 0:47:31.600 prides himself on his versatility. Marius Mims get kicked in 0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:34.640 the shin and he had pretty good bruise. I guess 0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:37.160 a bone bruise on that shin is what he's telling me. 0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:40.320 And uh, you know, Sue was uncomfortable for a couple 0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:42.480 of snaps there, but he came back in and played 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:44.400 and finished the game. That's a testament to him. He 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:48.879 didn't pack it in you know, where are the Bengals going? So, 0:47:49.080 --> 0:47:50.960 I mean Amarius Mims could have varied as he said, 0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:52.760 you know that's just for me for today or maybe 0:47:52.760 --> 0:47:55.319 even for next week against the Cleveland Browns, but now 0:47:55.360 --> 0:47:57.759 he wants to play and uh and he wants to 0:47:57.760 --> 0:48:00.000 to win football games and wants to play with his teammates. 0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:05.600 So it's it's very The offensive line is a very 0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:08.480 tight group. They spend a lot of time together. They 0:48:08.520 --> 0:48:10.960 want each other to succeed, They want to take care 0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:13.480 of each other, They want to help each other as 0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:16.920 much as possible. So man, when one of their own 0:48:18.400 --> 0:48:23.360 has has a historic play in the football game that 0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:25.319 they played very well in as a group and one 0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:27.880 football game handily, everybody likes it. 0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:30.720 I loved how he choked earlier in the week. Joe 0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:34.960 kept motioning to him, get get out what and Cody 0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:36.520 thought it was just like, get the hell out of 0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:39.120 the way. But was get a little bit wider to spread. 0:48:38.880 --> 0:48:39.320 It out. 0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:43.680 Good and he I saw an ESPN note at three 0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:46.880 hundred and forty five pounds. He got up to max 0:48:46.920 --> 0:48:50.640 by twelve point seven miles per hour. He was rumbling 0:48:50.680 --> 0:48:51.360 with the football. 0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:53.320 On that point, I tell you Cody Ford is a 0:48:53.320 --> 0:48:56.640 pretty damn good athlete. I mean, that's a that's a 0:48:56.680 --> 0:48:59.239 size speed ratio. When you get hit by a three 0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:01.680 hundred and forty five pound guy running over twelve miles 0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:03.279 an hour, you'll remember it. 0:49:03.280 --> 0:49:03.480 Man. 0:49:03.560 --> 0:49:05.839 That will thumped you a little bit. I looked it up. 0:49:06.120 --> 0:49:09.400 Anthony Munio was just a trivia note. Anthony caught seven 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:12.759 passes in his career. Four were for touchdowns, including that 0:49:13.080 --> 0:49:15.640 famous last catch it at the inter of regulation against 0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:19.040 Cleveland that forced overtime and then Jim Breech wanted it overtime. 0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:22.120 But think of that, Anthony seven catches and four touchdowns 0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:22.399 in his. 0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:25.200 Career, and you're talking about the greatest lineman that ever 0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:27.880 played in the National Football League the history of the league. 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:30.920 And you know, Anthony could have played anywhere and done anything. 0:49:30.960 --> 0:49:32.040 I think he could have been a hell of a 0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:34.800 tight end. Honestly. You know, when he was at USC 0:49:35.040 --> 0:49:38.719 shoot he was throwing ninety five miles an hour that 0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.560 had an unbelievable fastball and splitter that you know, dropped 0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:45.520 off the table, a curve ball. I mean, he was 0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:47.880 he was an all lead pitcher for crying allowed for 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:51.920 the USC Trojan. So you're talking about an incredible athlete, 0:49:52.000 --> 0:49:55.799 obviously an incredible human being. But Cody Ford, I'm telling you, 0:49:56.280 --> 0:50:00.200 he's when you get named like we are on the 0:50:00.560 --> 0:50:03.359 show here the day after the game, you're talked about 0:50:03.360 --> 0:50:05.359 in the same sentence as Anthony won Yas, that's high, 0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:07.160 Cotton Man, Yes it is very high. 0:50:07.200 --> 0:50:11.840 No doubt still ahead, Schamar Stewart, Dalton Reisner, fun facts 0:50:11.840 --> 0:50:14.560 with Isaiah Foski, and so much more.

Great to see that, 0:50:41.120 --> 0:50:43.520 and in the pregame, Wayne box Miller had a chance 0:50:43.560 --> 0:50:46.040 to talk with Shamar about his rookie season. At this point, 0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:49.040 a perfect starting point in this segment here's Wayne box 0:50:49.040 --> 0:50:50.400 Miller and Shamar Stewart. 0:50:50.520 --> 0:50:52.799 Shamar, this is a dream come true for a lot 0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:54.840 of young men when they get drafted.

Man Like, you gotta come every week 0:51:02.719 --> 0:51:05.040 to play.

Some 0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:13.080 say this is something I worked for. Which one was 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:14.759 it for you? Was it a dream or something you 0:51:14.800 --> 0:51:15.680 really had worked for. 0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:17.239 I want to say it was both. 0:51:17.400 --> 0:51:20.520 You know, Ever since I started playing football and watching 0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:22.439 the NFL, I'm like, I want to be there one day. 0:51:22.680 --> 0:51:23.239 But I knew I. 0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:25.200 Wouldn't get that if I didn't work towards it, you know, 0:51:25.719 --> 0:51:27.120 so I have to You have to put in the 0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:27.920 work either way to go. 0:51:28.239 --> 0:51:28.719 Yeah. 0:51:28.760 --> 0:51:30.600 And I always tell a lot of young people you 0:51:30.760 --> 0:51:33.080 never know who's watching.

I ask you 0:53:56.120 --> 0:53:59.120 three things that you're grateful for, two things that have 0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:02.520 impacted you, and then one thing you're hopeful for. So 0:54:02.600 --> 0:54:05.160 if I said three things that you're grateful for, who 0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:06.759 would that be or what would that be? 0:54:08.200 --> 0:54:10.680 I want to say for my family for always being 0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:13.399 there with me. I want to say for the game 0:54:13.440 --> 0:54:16.960 of football, you know, change my whole family dynamic. And 0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:19.719 I want to say I'm grateful for all the good 0:54:19.840 --> 0:54:23.120 men that raised me throughout this my football career. You know, 0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:25.160 I didn't get here just by myself. You know, it 0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:26.839 took a whole village, all right. 0:54:26.880 --> 0:54:28.400 Two things that have impacted you. 0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:32.239 Leaving my home state to go to Texas a you know, yeah, 0:54:32.280 --> 0:54:35.040 that was a that was that was a crazy change, 0:54:35.960 --> 0:54:39.160 A nothing that impacted me. Probably when my college coach died, 0:54:39.680 --> 0:54:43.160 you know, it was tough. And then from then on forward. 0:54:43.200 --> 0:54:47.759 I went on to have two different defensive defensive line 0:54:47.800 --> 0:54:50.080 coaches and two different dcs, so you know, it was 0:54:50.120 --> 0:54:53.560 just a lot of change throughout my career and you know, 0:54:53.880 --> 0:54:57.560 different learning style, different schemes, you know, so it was hard, 0:54:57.640 --> 0:54:58.960 I mean in a moment. 0:54:59.000 --> 0:54:59.279 All right. 0:54:59.360 --> 0:55:00.840 Lastly, one thing you're hopeful for. 0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:05.840 I'm hopeful for our team to keep growing. I'm hopeful 0:55:05.920 --> 0:55:08.360 for the bank, the Bengals to keep growing as a family, 0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:11.080 not just on not just on the field, off the fee. 0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:13.279 You know, we all we got when we're out there. 0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:15.480 It's when you look to you're left in your right 0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:17.320 as the PVC every day. So we just got to 0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:19.080 keep growing as a family, fight for each other. 0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:22.040 Appreciate you as always, brother, Thank you Schamar in the 0:55:22.040 --> 0:55:24.560 pregame and then end game picks up his first second 0:55:24.800 --> 0:55:27.520 and Dave obviously a rookie season that's been a little 0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:31.480 bit bumpy from contract negotiations through training camp into the season. 0:55:31.960 --> 0:55:33.799 That is in the the way I look at it. 0:55:33.880 --> 0:55:35.719 That's in the past. Can't change it. You can work 0:55:35.760 --> 0:55:38.040 on what's happening now. And it was great to see 0:55:38.120 --> 0:55:41.040 him get a sack, the smile on his face and 0:55:41.080 --> 0:55:43.560 I would think a bit of a relief saying I 0:55:43.680 --> 0:55:46.600 got one. Everybody's talked about what I didn't do when 0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:48.920 I came here and then what I may have said 0:55:48.960 --> 0:55:52.440 what I got here. But that sack yesterday, it just 0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:54.600 felt like it lifted a lot off his shoulders. And 0:55:54.880 --> 0:55:57.120 I think when you're this stage of the season, you're 0:55:57.120 --> 0:55:59.400 looking for good things and momentum. I'm very happy for 0:55:59.440 --> 0:55:59.920 Shamar's stu. 0:56:00.160 --> 0:56:02.280 Yeah, I am too. I'm glad he got his first 0:56:02.280 --> 0:56:05.440 career sack, you know, and uh, it's been a roller coaster, yeah, 0:56:05.600 --> 0:56:08.799 for Shamar Stewart that this rookie season. You know, the 0:56:08.840 --> 0:56:15.520 contract issues and difficulty was getting that finalized, and now 0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:17.640 he's under contract, and then he gets nicked up a 0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:20.239 little bit. He's got some physical issues that he has 0:56:20.320 --> 0:56:22.799 to deal with, and he's not right for a good 0:56:22.800 --> 0:56:25.560 period of time there. And but when he is right 0:56:25.640 --> 0:56:28.440 and when he's one hundred percent healthy, this guy is 0:56:28.480 --> 0:56:32.440 a genetic freak. I mean his size, speed ratio and 0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:35.320 his ability to you know, pump iron a lot of weight, 0:56:36.400 --> 0:56:38.840 run the way he can run. You do a breakdown 0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:41.439 of his forty look at the ten yard time. He's 0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:43.760 got a quick first step. You look at the twenty 0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:46.000 yard time. I mean he gets up to full speed 0:56:46.400 --> 0:56:50.080 very quickly and forty time. This guy is a very 0:56:50.080 --> 0:56:53.960 gifted athlete. And you know, looking at Miles Murphy and 0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:56.400 Schamar Stewart, you got a couple of young guys on 0:56:56.440 --> 0:56:59.000 the edge. We talked about the young guys in the corner. 0:56:59.239 --> 0:57:01.440 Now the young guys and the edge rush in the quarterback. 0:57:01.719 --> 0:57:03.759 Al Gold has got some pieces, man, He's got some 0:57:04.360 --> 0:57:06.839 chess pieces for the chessboard that he can play with 0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:08.000 a little bit for the future. 0:57:08.320 --> 0:57:08.520 Yeah. 0:57:08.560 --> 0:57:11.120 I look at Miles yesterday gets the sack. He now 0:57:11.200 --> 0:57:13.160 leads the team with five and a half sacks. He 0:57:13.200 --> 0:57:16.680 also had six tackles. Miles Murphy's been a weekly theme 0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:19.880 on Bengals Line now and day. I look at performances 0:57:19.920 --> 0:57:23.080 and sometimes it's just a blip, maybe something on the radar, 0:57:23.120 --> 0:57:25.280 and then there may be starts to be a trend. 0:57:25.560 --> 0:57:27.920 And I think we're into the reality of Miles Murphy 0:57:27.960 --> 0:57:30.120 being a very serviceable and productive I'm not gonna make 0:57:30.160 --> 0:57:32.760 him a pro bowler yet, wouldn't mind eventually, but he's 0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:36.000 a very productive and serviceable player. Now that's become the 0:57:36.000 --> 0:57:37.800 reality of Miles Murphy. 0:57:37.880 --> 0:57:39.760 I agree, I think both of them. I think Murphy 0:57:39.760 --> 0:57:43.680 and Schamar Steward both physically have the traits that would 0:57:43.960 --> 0:57:46.440 lend itself to be a pro bowler, you know. And 0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:48.760 now it's a matter of putting it all together and 0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:52.680 translating it out on the football field. But Miles Murphy 0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:57.400 is a very thoughtful player. He wants to do things right, 0:57:57.880 --> 0:58:02.240 he wants to please his coaches, He likes to be coached. 0:58:03.000 --> 0:58:06.919 Al Golden can be a hard coach. He can get 0:58:07.000 --> 0:58:12.080 on guys pretty hard. And Miles Murphy and Shamar Stewart 0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:15.720 are both taking it the way that it's meant to 0:58:15.760 --> 0:58:18.960 help them improve themselves and be better football players. 0:58:19.080 --> 0:58:22.120 By this defense gives up fourteen to Arizona, they gave 0:58:22.200 --> 0:58:24.640 up twenty one to Miami the Baltimore game. Take out 0:58:24.640 --> 0:58:27.760 the pick six, they will give up seventeen to Baltimore. Really, 0:58:27.800 --> 0:58:30.720 there was only one play yesterday, the thirty eight yard touchdown, 0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:33.000 which I just I get a headache going back and 0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:35.360 watching that play. But if you take that play out, 0:58:35.560 --> 0:58:38.680 there weren't there week to week. There's fewer moments that 0:58:38.720 --> 0:58:40.160 make you want to pull your hair out, and that 0:58:40.280 --> 0:58:41.520 says progress. 0:58:41.160 --> 0:58:46.320 Absolutely, and you know, whether that's not breaking an assignment 0:58:47.000 --> 0:58:53.760 or making having a problem physically, like missed tackles. When 0:58:53.760 --> 0:58:56.240 they were struggling and people were scoring on him, they 0:58:56.240 --> 0:59:00.480 were siev defensively, they couldn't tackle anybody. I mean, they 0:59:00.480 --> 0:59:03.640 were one of the poorest tackling football teams, probably the 0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:07.640 Cincinnati Bengals have had in that stretch. But it's changed. 0:59:07.840 --> 0:59:12.280 I mean they're tackling well. And again, you know, I 0:59:12.320 --> 0:59:16.280 think on the back end, big plays usually happen because 0:59:16.320 --> 0:59:19.480 on the back end there's an assignment era or there's 0:59:19.520 --> 0:59:23.440 a mistackle, and that's happening less and less as these 0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:27.320 guys get snaps together and it's pretty good unit back there. 0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:29.840 Up next, let's go back to the offensive line, Dalton 0:59:29.920 --> 0:59:32.600 Reisner on the day that was with the Bengals O line, 0:59:32.600 --> 0:59:34.680 and on Cody Ford and on his future with the 0:59:34.720 --> 0:59:37.280 Bengals that as we roll on with Bengals Line and 0:59:37.320 --> 0:59:46.800 the Bengals Radio Network and ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station. Hey, 0:59:46.880 --> 0:59:49.360 let's keep moving it along on this Monday night talking 0:59:49.400 --> 0:59:51.920 Bengals and Bengals line and the Bengals Radio Network and 0:59:52.080 --> 0:59:54.520 the ESPN fifteen thirty. Let's go back to the offensive 0:59:54.520 --> 0:59:57.440 line and on that side of the ball. Talk Dalton 0:59:57.480 --> 1:00:00.840 Reisner and from where he was and when he signed 1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:02.720 with this team to where he is right now. It's 1:00:02.720 --> 1:00:06.320 been a pretty amazing journey and he is really settled in. 1:00:06.400 --> 1:00:09.320 Here is Dalton after the game with Dan Horde. 1:00:09.360 --> 1:00:12.160 Dalton Bengals won by twenty four last week, twenty three 1:00:12.280 --> 1:00:14.160 this week. That's hard to do in the NFL. How 1:00:14.160 --> 1:00:15.840 do you guys feel about the way you played these 1:00:15.920 --> 1:00:16.560 last two weeks? 1:00:16.560 --> 1:00:17.600 Obviously you feel great. 1:00:17.640 --> 1:00:19.400 I mean, like you said, it's tough to win in 1:00:19.440 --> 1:00:20.959 the NFL, so we work so hard. 1:00:20.960 --> 1:00:24.360 But D and D day out, the coaches, this whole organization. 1:00:24.440 --> 1:00:26.280 We take pride in me in Cincinnati Bengals, so when 1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:29.120 we're able to win like this, man, it makes it 1:00:29.160 --> 1:00:32.320 so much sweeter. But I can tell you that the losses, 1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:35.560 they suck. But sometimes when you lose those games, you're 1:00:35.560 --> 1:00:37.919 wondering what's wrong, and it's a tough week and people 1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:40.480 are asking questions, and I just say that it's a 1:00:40.480 --> 1:00:42.320 great feeling to be where we're at right now because 1:00:42.320 --> 1:00:44.360 we're winning football games, We're playing well as a unit, 1:00:44.360 --> 1:00:47.680 we're feeding off of each other, we're having fun doing it, 1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:50.200 and it's just it's special, man, and you can't take 1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:52.920 it for granted. I know that we're out of the playoffs. 1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:54.720 I know we're six and ten, but it's still special. 1:00:55.160 --> 1:00:57.560 Does it feel like a sign of things to come 1:00:58.000 --> 1:00:59.439 for twenty twenty six percent? 1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:00.600 I don't want to be that guy. 1:01:00.720 --> 1:01:03.720 I know that, especially with like last year I followed 1:01:03.720 --> 1:01:06.280 the Cincinnati Bengals. I've always been a Bengals fan, but regardless, 1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:08.800 I saw the way last year ended on a really positive. 1:01:08.400 --> 1:01:09.760 Note and winning some football games. 1:01:09.800 --> 1:01:11.600 So I don't want to be the guy that you know, 1:01:11.800 --> 1:01:13.600 tries to bring the positive out of a six and 1:01:13.680 --> 1:01:16.480 ten and well that's hope seven to ten football season. 1:01:16.520 --> 1:01:18.560 But we really are rolling, man. I actually looked at 1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:20.160 my office, the line coach, and just. 1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:21.840 Felt like, you know, this is the best rhythm we've 1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:24.520 been in this last you know, literally the last six weeks. 1:01:24.560 --> 1:01:26.480 I mean the way we played on Thanksgiving, the way 1:01:26.480 --> 1:01:27.760 we went and played in Buffalo. 1:01:28.280 --> 1:01:29.960 I know that we fell short against the team that 1:01:30.040 --> 1:01:32.560 might win the AFC, but regardless, like this not six 1:01:32.640 --> 1:01:33.920 or seven weeks, I just feel like we've been a 1:01:33.960 --> 1:01:34.520 really good spot. 1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:36.440 Obviously, the Ravens game at home is a kind of 1:01:36.440 --> 1:01:36.880 a one. 1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:39.320 Off, But regardless, I'm really happy to be a Bengal, 1:01:39.360 --> 1:01:41.080 Proud to be a Bangal, proud to work with these guys. 1:01:41.160 --> 1:01:42.040 Man, I love these guys. 1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:44.600 You were facing a team today that came in with 1:01:44.640 --> 1:01:47.760 a seven game losing streak and a bad record. When 1:01:47.800 --> 1:01:51.560 that's the case, kind of the cliche is jump on top, 1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:54.200 don't let them think they could win the game. At 1:01:54.240 --> 1:01:56.640 the end of the first quarter, the yardage was one 1:01:56.720 --> 1:01:59.760 thirty nine to six, time of possession was thirteen and 1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:02.280 a half minutes to one and a half. Was that 1:02:02.360 --> 1:02:05.200 the thought process? And I mean, if so, you certainly 1:02:05.240 --> 1:02:05.880 executed it. 1:02:05.960 --> 1:02:08.040 I think that's always the thought process. But you never 1:02:08.160 --> 1:02:10.480 you never count a dog out, especially in the NFL. 1:02:10.520 --> 1:02:12.960 I mean, the Cardinals came to play today. We came 1:02:13.000 --> 1:02:14.920 to play as well, and we played really good football. 1:02:14.960 --> 1:02:17.440 But it's not like they just gave in and as 1:02:17.480 --> 1:02:19.120 soon as we got up a few points they said 1:02:19.240 --> 1:02:21.520 screw it, we're done. Those guys kept fighting, and that's 1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:23.120 what we want to go do to every NFL team. 1:02:23.120 --> 1:02:24.320 You want to get on top of these guys. You 1:02:24.320 --> 1:02:25.360 want to get a lead and then you want to 1:02:25.400 --> 1:02:27.720 secure it. And keep it. But man, we were just 1:02:27.800 --> 1:02:30.160 rolling today. It was the Bengals day today. Hats off 1:02:30.160 --> 1:02:30.800 to the Cardinals. 1:02:30.800 --> 1:02:33.080 Good football team, came in to try to win a 1:02:33.120 --> 1:02:33.640 football game. 1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:34.520 We just had a better day. 1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:37.960 Tell me about the Cody Ford pass. When did this 1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:40.640 play get drawn up and what was the feeling like 1:02:40.680 --> 1:02:41.600 on the field all week? 1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:42.560 Talked about it all week. 1:02:43.200 --> 1:02:44.720 We wanted to do a little bit of big personnel 1:02:44.760 --> 1:02:46.840 this week and roll with Cody as kind of that 1:02:46.880 --> 1:02:49.800 sixth offensive lineman, and we did that. I think maybe 1:02:49.800 --> 1:02:51.440 they fell asleep a little bit thinking that we want 1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:54.040 to throw them the ball. And just awesome moment for 1:02:54.120 --> 1:02:55.960 him on his twenty ninth birthday. He's been a really 1:02:55.960 --> 1:02:59.360 selfless guy all year in my opinion, and really well 1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:01.560 deserved to get that football thrown to him. 1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:03.120 And then also see what he did after it is 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:03.800 super awesome. 1:03:03.960 --> 1:03:06.440 So he executed it just like they drew up, and 1:03:06.440 --> 1:03:07.800 hats off to the coaches for drawing it. 1:03:07.840 --> 1:03:10.439 To Joe Burrow. The last couple of weeks. It has 1:03:10.480 --> 1:03:13.720 a passer rating over one thirty and those two games combined, 1:03:14.120 --> 1:03:18.120 this is kind of your opportunity to play with him healthy, 1:03:18.360 --> 1:03:20.920 looking good. I mean, what's that experience been like for you. 1:03:21.000 --> 1:03:22.120 He's an ultimate competitor. 1:03:22.160 --> 1:03:24.960 I really do love Joe the way that he goes 1:03:24.960 --> 1:03:26.640 out there and slings the football and wants to win 1:03:26.640 --> 1:03:28.400 football games, and how dialed he is. 1:03:28.680 --> 1:03:30.120 You can see why the Bengals are special. 1:03:30.160 --> 1:03:32.200 I mean, you kind of just block your tail off 1:03:32.360 --> 1:03:34.040 back there, and then you see the ball get thrown 1:03:34.120 --> 1:03:36.320 up and he's just dropping it in the buckets. 1:03:35.920 --> 1:03:37.600 And hitting guys right where they need to be hit. 1:03:37.720 --> 1:03:40.240 So love blocking for the guy. Got a tremendous amount 1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:41.040 of respect for him. 1:03:41.400 --> 1:03:42.960 You can see why he's had the success that he's 1:03:42.960 --> 1:03:45.640 had here in Cincinnati. And I just hope I could 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:47.080 be a part of it for longer. 1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:51.440 Yeah, I would assume there's mutual interest in having you 1:03:51.520 --> 1:03:53.160 return based on the way things are going. 1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:54.160 That would be great. 1:03:54.200 --> 1:03:55.560 Man, keep pulling for me. 1:03:55.640 --> 1:03:57.080 Let's get these guys to give me a call. 1:03:57.160 --> 1:04:01.920 Man, I kind of expect that's going to happen. Congratulations 1:04:02.000 --> 1:04:03.840 on a great win today, two in a row, and 1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:05.640 finish the season with three next week. 1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:06.400 We'll do God bless you. 1:04:06.480 --> 1:04:06.840 Thanks man. 1:04:07.000 --> 1:04:09.560 Dalton Reisner after the game, and David went back and 1:04:09.560 --> 1:04:13.040 look just to be sure, and I hope people appreciate. 1:04:13.080 --> 1:04:16.600 With Dalton Reisner, he gets signed on August the twenty eighth, 1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:20.360 after the final cutdown. They sign him ten days later. 1:04:20.680 --> 1:04:24.320 He actually plays in the opener thirty six snaps. And 1:04:24.480 --> 1:04:27.160 it was a rush to try to get him ready, 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:29.520 and maybe he wasn't ready at the start, but tell 1:04:29.520 --> 1:04:32.160 you what, it feels like he has really settled in 1:04:32.200 --> 1:04:34.320 and you say, yeah, Dalton Reisner, you. 1:04:34.280 --> 1:04:38.320 Go yeah, and Dalton Reisner for him to be able 1:04:38.360 --> 1:04:40.680 to play ten days after he shows up at an 1:04:40.760 --> 1:04:46.080 organization speaks volumes because I can tell you that's that's 1:04:46.080 --> 1:04:48.760 a difficult thing. You know, you're not with the football 1:04:48.760 --> 1:04:51.840 team at training camp, you're not there in the offseason, 1:04:51.840 --> 1:04:56.160 you're not there for OTAs for you know, workouts with everybody. 1:04:56.440 --> 1:05:00.440 It's just very, very difficult to come in, you know, 1:05:00.920 --> 1:05:06.560 totally brand new to a system, to an organization language 1:05:06.600 --> 1:05:09.000 that you have to learn. And that's the most difficult 1:05:09.080 --> 1:05:11.280 thing for him because he's been around for a while. 1:05:11.320 --> 1:05:14.920 He has seen all the defensive configurations, how many different 1:05:14.920 --> 1:05:17.760 ways they can line up in the National Football League. 1:05:17.840 --> 1:05:21.880 He's a smart guy. He stores all that information and 1:05:22.160 --> 1:05:25.560 uh and pulls it out when when needed. But to 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:29.160 unlearn and relearn. It's like, okay, you have to unlearn 1:05:29.240 --> 1:05:32.600 French and relearn German. You know, it's like, man, that's 1:05:32.680 --> 1:05:35.880 that's that's not easy. That's very very difficult. And he 1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:39.880 handled it exceptionally well. Never complained about it, you know, 1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:43.640 it just went about his business. And I'm sure probably 1:05:43.960 --> 1:05:45.600 when he was at home with his wife she was 1:05:45.640 --> 1:05:47.920 giving him pop quiz he was, she was giving him 1:05:47.920 --> 1:05:50.320 pop quizzes and throwing things out there to him and 1:05:50.320 --> 1:05:53.240 see how quickly he could respond. But he's a pros 1:05:53.320 --> 1:05:55.480 pro is what he is. For him to be able to, 1:05:56.640 --> 1:06:00.200 you know, get on the football field that quickly and 1:06:00.320 --> 1:06:04.120 provide a good performance, a good solid performance. He's graded 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:07.120 pretty well and the coaching staff really likes him. 1:06:07.160 --> 1:06:09.840 I liked how you talked with Dan there about at 1:06:09.880 --> 1:06:12.200 the end wanting to would love to be back. It's 1:06:12.240 --> 1:06:14.320 a one year deal, it's only one point three million. 1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:16.520 They got great value out of that, and he joke to, 1:06:16.600 --> 1:06:18.439 you know, tell tell their people to call my people. 1:06:18.480 --> 1:06:20.680 I'd love to be back. And he'll be thirty one 1:06:20.920 --> 1:06:23.400 by next season, could you see? I mean, would it 1:06:23.480 --> 1:06:25.800 make sense for them to kind of hitch their wagon 1:06:25.840 --> 1:06:27.280 a little bit? Longer adult Reisner. 1:06:27.360 --> 1:06:29.720 I think so, you know, I mean, it's thirty one, 1:06:29.840 --> 1:06:32.880 is not a spring chicken. But there are linemen in 1:06:32.880 --> 1:06:36.120 the National Football League, you know, playing much much beyond 1:06:36.160 --> 1:06:39.520 that in terms of in terms of years. And he 1:06:39.800 --> 1:06:43.080 likes his teammates. His teammates like him, you know, And 1:06:43.080 --> 1:06:48.200 it's it's legit. It's not just you know, uh whatever, 1:06:48.400 --> 1:06:52.040 you know, nothing's fake about it. Yeah, it's not. It's 1:06:52.080 --> 1:06:54.240 not being said just because well I should say he's 1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:55.800 a good guy, you know, it's not. It's not like 1:06:55.840 --> 1:06:58.680 you're being told to speak about a guy a certain way. 1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:02.600 And he's all football man. This guy is a football player. 1:07:02.640 --> 1:07:05.000 He's a pros pro. The game means a lot to him. 1:07:05.040 --> 1:07:07.800 It's very important to he and his family to have 1:07:07.840 --> 1:07:09.720 success on the football field and play as long as 1:07:09.760 --> 1:07:10.000 he can. 1:07:10.160 --> 1:07:11.760 And there would be nothing round the way I look 1:07:11.800 --> 1:07:13.560 at it. But it's not my money. There'd be nothing 1:07:13.560 --> 1:07:15.800 wrong if you keep him around for at least another year. 1:07:16.000 --> 1:07:19.280 Gives Jalen Rivers some more time to develop and learn, 1:07:19.360 --> 1:07:22.680 and you're not forcing things upon Jalen Rivers and Dalton. 1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:25.160 Riiser's a nice guy to learn from and adjust to 1:07:25.200 --> 1:07:27.400 the league. For another season. If you're Jalen Rivers, no, 1:07:27.400 --> 1:07:30.040 no need to rush him. He's a rookie, still wide 1:07:30.040 --> 1:07:31.600 eyed and learning things in his career. 1:07:31.720 --> 1:07:33.880 Yeah, that's a good point, you know. And Reisner has 1:07:33.880 --> 1:07:36.320 got some versatility to him. I mean he can play 1:07:36.560 --> 1:07:39.040 you know, worst case scenario, he can play both guards 1:07:39.040 --> 1:07:42.479 for you, and there's some value there. I do think 1:07:42.520 --> 1:07:44.320 that he's smart enough where he could play center and 1:07:44.360 --> 1:07:47.960 make calls and if Ted Carrass got nicked up, So yeah, 1:07:48.000 --> 1:07:52.120 I mean, I think that there's very good reason for 1:07:52.240 --> 1:07:55.720 he for Dalton Rising to sit down with the Bengals 1:07:55.800 --> 1:07:59.120 management people and talk about a contract beyond this season. 1:07:59.600 --> 1:08:01.840 If you like a city, you're comfortable, and you got 1:08:01.840 --> 1:08:04.479 a quarterback like Joe Burrow who wouldn't want to stick 1:08:04.480 --> 1:08:05.280 around for another year. 1:08:05.360 --> 1:08:06.320 No down one. He's right. 1:08:06.400 --> 1:08:09.560 So when we come back, how about some fantastic fun 1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:11.880 facts and so much more. We're making our way through 1:08:11.960 --> 1:08:15.400 towards nine o'clock tonight, talking Bengals Can't Beat Dad Bengals 1:08:15.440 --> 1:08:18.240 on in the Bengals Radio Network at ESPN fifteen thirty 1:08:18.320 --> 1:08:24.960 Cincinnati Sports Station.

A member of the Bengals 1:08:42.160 --> 1:08:45.759 practice squad. Was active yesterday, played sixteen snaps on defense, 1:08:46.240 --> 1:08:48.720 was in and helped with pressure and led to the 1:08:48.960 --> 1:08:52.680 said Johnson sack if I remember correctly.

I feel like when people are asked what's 1:09:10.240 --> 1:09:13.080 your favorite city in the US, more often than not, 1:09:13.200 --> 1:09:16.080 San Francisco is on the list. What do you like 1:09:16.120 --> 1:09:17.640 about being from northern California? 1:09:18.320 --> 1:09:18.559 Oh? 1:09:19.080 --> 1:09:22.320 The food, for sure.

Go to any random food truck, you just 1:09:27.680 --> 1:09:30.880 gonna hit every time, no doubt. 1:09:31.439 --> 1:09:33.960 I read that your dad served in the Navy. Did 1:09:34.000 --> 1:09:38.160 that result in a disciplined childhood for you for sure? 1:09:38.320 --> 1:09:42.120 Because he was in a Navy Danny was a police officer, 1:09:42.840 --> 1:09:45.720 So yeah, I don't even have to say much after that. 1:09:46.200 --> 1:09:49.040 So yeah, it was like really disciplinary type of parenting. 1:09:49.240 --> 1:09:51.000 And I just follow on. I'm just a person. 1:09:51.040 --> 1:09:51.240 I am. 1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:54.880 Now we're chatting with Isaiah Foski. According to a pre 1:09:55.000 --> 1:09:58.720 draft scouting report, you started getting attention from colleges in 1:09:58.800 --> 1:10:02.080 middle school and you got your first college offer in 1:10:02.320 --> 1:10:05.120 eighth grade from Kansas. Is that true? 1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:08.400 Yeah, that's true. I didn't even know what a scholarship was. 1:10:08.920 --> 1:10:12.479 I was just prepared for high school. They came out 1:10:12.520 --> 1:10:15.160 of pretty much nowhere. Is just offered me like through 1:10:15.160 --> 1:10:17.000 someone else telling me, but they couldn't like talk to 1:10:17.040 --> 1:10:19.360 me directly and they say, yeah, we're offering you. I 1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:22.000 didn't even know what Kansas was like back then. I 1:10:22.120 --> 1:10:25.080 was bad at geography, so they gave me to offer. 1:10:26.000 --> 1:10:28.000 You played high school football at one of the most 1:10:28.000 --> 1:10:30.880 famous programs in the country, Day La Salle, a school 1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:33.000 that once famously had a one hundred and fifty one 1:10:33.040 --> 1:10:37.160 game winning streak. How did playing there prepare you for college? 1:10:37.160 --> 1:10:38.040 And what you're doing now. 1:10:39.240 --> 1:10:42.639 I feel like playing at Dale South, playing Nordame how 1:10:42.640 --> 1:10:47.000 my parents taught me, and just being buy the books, 1:10:47.080 --> 1:10:49.519 doing everything right, working hard. I feel like I was 1:10:49.600 --> 1:10:53.800 just the backbone of everything the Dale South, like mentioned, 1:10:53.840 --> 1:10:56.439 being a man of integrity. That's like the one big 1:10:56.479 --> 1:10:58.120 thing that I brought from Dale South, and I brought 1:10:58.160 --> 1:10:59.240 it onto the rest of my life. 1:11:00.000 --> 1:11:03.360 Sitting with Isaiah Foski, you could have gone just about anywhere. 1:11:03.720 --> 1:11:07.160 Your final five schools included Ohio State and Michigan, but ultimately, 1:11:07.160 --> 1:11:10.000 as you mentioned, you chose Notre Dame. Why the fighting 1:11:10.000 --> 1:11:11.320 Irish like I. 1:11:11.320 --> 1:11:15.120 Was the same everything from Dale South and Notre Dame. 1:11:15.200 --> 1:11:17.200 They just pretty much just went hand in hand, like 1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:19.320 they were pretty much the same ZAC school. So I 1:11:19.439 --> 1:11:21.719 just felt really comfortable there, and once I went there, 1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:23.120 it was just amazing. 1:11:24.120 --> 1:11:27.639 It's really hard to hold an all time record at 1:11:27.680 --> 1:11:30.559 Notre Dame, but you do. You are the all time 1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:34.360 sax leader at that school, which is pretty remarkable. Describe 1:11:34.400 --> 1:11:37.719 the feeling when you broke Justin Tuck's all time record. 1:11:37.880 --> 1:11:41.320 Yeah, that was great. That was like such an amazing, 1:11:41.360 --> 1:11:44.439 surreal moment because that year I was really starting to 1:11:44.439 --> 1:11:46.400 get to talk to justin Tuck and he was just 1:11:46.400 --> 1:11:48.320 telling me how much he wanted me to be his record. 1:11:48.640 --> 1:11:50.439 That was like before the season and like just talking 1:11:50.439 --> 1:11:53.320 to him. He was helping me throughout that season. And 1:11:53.320 --> 1:11:55.439 then when I finally got it, I was it was 1:11:55.479 --> 1:11:57.719 a snow game too, first time ever playing a snow 1:11:58.040 --> 1:12:00.880 on senior night, and I got it, and then the 1:12:00.920 --> 1:12:04.479 whole stadium and rubs all my teammates started giving high 1:12:04.520 --> 1:12:06.240 fives and it was just amazing. 1:12:06.800 --> 1:12:09.559 Will you be as gracious if somebody comes close to 1:12:09.600 --> 1:12:12.479 breaking your record or secretly will you say no, no, 1:12:12.600 --> 1:12:13.559 finish with twenty six? 1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:16.160 No, I want someone to beat my record. I really do. 1:12:16.240 --> 1:12:17.920 I feel like there's a lot of talent at nord 1:12:17.960 --> 1:12:18.840 In that someone could beat it. 1:12:19.520 --> 1:12:22.160 What did you enjoy most about four years in South Bend? 1:12:22.840 --> 1:12:25.960 The people like, not much to do with South Bend. 1:12:26.040 --> 1:12:29.479 It's really just Notre Dame as so, and it's just 1:12:29.479 --> 1:12:31.599 the people at Nordame was really what makes nor Day 1:12:31.600 --> 1:12:32.080 nor Dame. 1:12:32.640 --> 1:12:35.320 Do you have a tiny play like a champion today 1:12:35.360 --> 1:12:36.160 signed in your house. 1:12:36.520 --> 1:12:39.040 No, I don't have it here, but I had it 1:12:39.080 --> 1:12:41.560 at a Dame. I did have one. 1:12:42.600 --> 1:12:44.679 You were selected in the second round of the twenty 1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:48.160 twenty three draft by the New Orleans Saints, number forty overall. 1:12:48.360 --> 1:12:52.759 Describe that day leading up to getting that phone call God. 1:12:52.880 --> 1:12:55.800 That day I was I was hoping I was gonna 1:12:55.800 --> 1:12:59.160 go first round, but then you know it'd end up 1:12:59.200 --> 1:13:01.720 that way. But going uh the fortieth pig to the 1:13:01.760 --> 1:13:05.120 Norley Saints, that was just a crazy experience. Having all 1:13:05.160 --> 1:13:07.320 my friends and family next to me, have my wife 1:13:07.360 --> 1:13:09.200 now right next to me too. It was just a 1:13:09.240 --> 1:13:15.960 crazy experience. I will never forget that moment. Super stressful, yeah. 1:13:15.320 --> 1:13:15.960 Like it was. 1:13:16.000 --> 1:13:18.320 But then my thing, it was wherever I go, I know, 1:13:18.400 --> 1:13:20.200 God just put me in this place for a reason, 1:13:20.520 --> 1:13:23.439 and that's what kind of like eased me down and 1:13:23.520 --> 1:13:26.400 just just leaning all my faith throughout all of it. 1:13:27.080 --> 1:13:29.800 New Orleans is very different from South Bend. How did 1:13:29.760 --> 1:13:31.400 you enjoy two years in the big easy? 1:13:32.360 --> 1:13:35.120 Like I said, how I like California their food, New 1:13:35.240 --> 1:13:36.120 Orleans their food. 1:13:36.360 --> 1:13:37.320 I'm a big foodie. 1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:40.839 Though New Orleans food was it was great, but it 1:13:40.600 --> 1:13:43.880 was it was a little bit of adjustment. Humidity that 1:13:43.920 --> 1:13:46.760 was the biggest adjustment. That was when I first got there, 1:13:46.800 --> 1:13:48.800 that was killing me. But then after a while you 1:13:48.880 --> 1:13:49.680 kind of got used to. 1:13:49.600 --> 1:13:52.080 It, Isaiah. After a couple of years with the Saints, 1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:54.920 you joined the Bengals early this season. You were reunited 1:13:54.920 --> 1:13:57.720 with your defensive coordinator from your final year at Notre 1:13:57.840 --> 1:14:00.599 Dame Al Golden. Did you feel like he were now 1:14:00.640 --> 1:14:02.960 playing for a coach or playing for a coach again 1:14:03.160 --> 1:14:05.320 who really knew what you were capable of doing? 1:14:05.439 --> 1:14:06.240 Oh? Yeah, for sure. 1:14:06.400 --> 1:14:09.680 He saw me at my high in college, so you 1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:12.880 knew what I was capable of. And just being able 1:14:12.880 --> 1:14:14.639 to just to see him again run his defense again. 1:14:14.680 --> 1:14:16.400 It's just my first game.

Stretch it's always a 1:30:21.920 --> 1:30:24.640 stop start this, year no no fault of his own 1:30:24.680 --> 1:30:26.960 with these. Injuries and so to see him out there 1:30:26.960 --> 1:30:29.479 and again just he's accumulating a bunch of snaps over 1:30:29.520 --> 1:30:31.000 the last couple of weeks and to get his first 1:30:31.000 --> 1:30:32.920 career sack and kind of get, that get that off 1:30:32.960 --> 1:30:34.920 your back a little bit before you're going into the off. 1:30:35.000 --> 1:30:37.800 Season and so again he's got he's got a lot 1:30:37.800 --> 1:30:38.679 of potential for Us. 1:30:39.720 --> 1:30:43.320 Joe playing in next. Week, yes beating into The marting 1:30:43.360 --> 1:30:43.960 get that for. 1:30:44.200 --> 1:30:46.080 Sack considering you, know like you, said up and, down 1:30:46.120 --> 1:30:47.200 he's been out moltible times with. 1:30:47.240 --> 1:30:48.240 Interest what do you think it meant. 1:30:48.160 --> 1:30:50.040 The END i think it's, meaningful you, know for for 1:30:50.080 --> 1:30:52.599 a guy who's who's working through, it, injuries rookie, year 1:30:52.640 --> 1:30:56.000 all the challenges that comes with.

Done, now let's go get a lot. 1:30:58.439 --> 1:31:02.479 More oh, gratifying use it for you personally to put 1:31:02.479 --> 1:31:05.880 together some high scoring performances at the end of this. 1:31:05.960 --> 1:31:07.120 Season it's the. 1:31:07.240 --> 1:31:10.400 Gratifying part for me is that this team has maintained 1:31:10.400 --> 1:31:13.000 their energy through some really difficult times and really stuck. 1:31:13.000 --> 1:31:15.599 Together when people question what they're going to see from, 1:31:15.680 --> 1:31:18.200 us there should be no question that you, know this 1:31:18.240 --> 1:31:20.400 team is made of the right. Stuff AND i think 1:31:20.439 --> 1:31:22.559 that's just the part THAT i focus. On but we 1:31:22.640 --> 1:31:24.400 have a great group of coaches that are really stuck 1:31:24.400 --> 1:31:28.160 together and kept, coaching and these players have bought into 1:31:28.200 --> 1:31:32.479 it and provided tremendous energy for. Us and the proof 1:31:32.520 --> 1:31:34.040 isn't playing this last two weeks on the. Field and 1:31:34.560 --> 1:31:36.160 that's all we can control right now is every game 1:31:36.200 --> 1:31:37.320 that's in front of us and how we're going to 1:31:37.400 --> 1:31:39.400 react to. It and so again we got to do 1:31:39.400 --> 1:31:39.920 that for one more. 1:31:39.920 --> 1:31:42.800 Week Zach taylor after the win.

Season but think about, that when the three 1:32:15.680 --> 1:32:18.960 amigos are all, together they win at about an eleven 1:32:19.040 --> 1:32:20.880 win rate per.

Like, man no the, football gods everything 1:47:59.680 --> 1:48:02.439 came together in his. Football universe he's been doing a 1:48:02.560 --> 1:48:03.800 year after year. 1:48:03.920 --> 1:48:06.800 After year by, the Way the browns struggled to. Run, 1:48:06.800 --> 1:48:11.240 it yesterday they lost their fine rookie Running, back Jutkins 1:48:11.320 --> 1:48:14.519 The ohio. State, rookie yeah he dislocated, his ankle fractured 1:48:14.520 --> 1:48:16.920 his fibularly the, week before so they struggled to. Run 1:48:16.960 --> 1:48:20.240 It shador sanders has been, you know he's, a rookie 1:48:20.320 --> 1:48:22.280 so he has moments where he'll make a throw and you, 1:48:22.320 --> 1:48:24.720 say whoa and then you look and He's still he's 1:48:24.760 --> 1:48:28.160 only completing fifty seven percent of, his passes, seven touchdowns. 1:48:28.200 --> 1:48:31.200 Ten interceptions and you know we were. Talking earlier joe's 1:48:31.320 --> 1:48:33.760 last couple of weeks has completed seventy eight percent of. 1:48:33.800 --> 1:48:36.720 His passes shador at fifty seven that's not going to. 1:48:36.840 --> 1:48:38.880 Cut it And, that browns you figure are just in 1:48:38.920 --> 1:48:41.280 one of those scenarios where they're trying to figure out 1:48:41.280 --> 1:48:43.640 a little bit More, about shador but probably looking at 1:48:43.680 --> 1:48:44.880 another quarterback in the draft. 1:48:44.920 --> 1:48:47.800 Next, year yeah there's a. Good chance there's no question. About, 1:48:47.800 --> 1:48:51.599 It now shador more interceptions and. Touchdown passes you don't. 1:48:51.640 --> 1:48:54.479 WANT that i mean every QUARTERBACK that i ever, played, 1:48:54.479 --> 1:48:57.519 with first second or third team or, you know practice. 1:48:57.560 --> 1:48:59.680 Squad whatever we did not practice squad back in. The 1:48:59.720 --> 1:49:02.519 day but the, thirteen quarterback, it's like you just don't 1:49:02.560 --> 1:49:04.599 go into a. Football game you don't want to have 1:49:04.640 --> 1:49:07.080 a negative ratio in. A game you don't want to 1:49:07.080 --> 1:49:10.000 have one touchdown pass and. Two interceptions never mind for 1:49:10.080 --> 1:49:13.240 the season they have seven touchdown passes and. Ten interceptions 1:49:13.280 --> 1:49:15.760 that's not a trend that you want.

BIG priority i think for him 1:59:55.240 --> 1:59:57.200 to reward him for. The season, HE said, i mean 1:59:57.280 --> 2:00:00.240 that's a. That's symbolic you know that is a that's 2:00:00.360 --> 2:00:02.720 that's a big goal to hit, right there a Thousand 2:00:02.800 --> 2:00:05.680 yards and it would be for the offensive line, as 2:00:05.680 --> 2:00:08.040 well you know that that are up there toiling and 2:00:08.520 --> 2:00:12.960 uh working anonymously in front of him and getting the 2:00:13.040 --> 2:00:17.200 job done.

For you. 2:00:44.840 --> 2:00:47.280 You know one, final note and this is, worth mentioning 2:00:47.440 --> 2:00:50.080 and it's a little bit out of place and out 2:00:50.120 --> 2:00:52.200 of order from what we've all, talked About but trey 2:00:52.280 --> 2:00:55.680 McBride yesterday win in with the big time season over 2:00:55.760 --> 2:00:57.800 one hundred catches and, and yeah in, the end he 2:00:57.880 --> 2:01:00.960 had ten catches for seventy six. Yards yesterday but if 2:01:01.280 --> 2:01:03.520 someone's looking at the box score didn't follow.
