Speaker 2: All right, let's get it going on this Monday night.

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: Welcome into Bengals Line. Three hours of conversation about to unfold.

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna sort through what transpired yesterday at pay Corps.

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna look ahead to what could transpire this coming

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. I'm Lance, Butacallister. He is

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Dave Lapham, and boy, Dave, had you told me at

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: the start of the day, with the Bengals at home

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: and playing for their collective playoff lives, had you said

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: they'll lose this game, I would have thought, okay, man,

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: that would be tough. But it's gonna be hard fought.

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna be back and forth, there might be some

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: points score. There's gonna be dynamic quarterback play. I would

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: have said I could see that. Had you told me,

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: they won't score and they'll lose twenty four to nothing.

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: I would have said, wait a minute, time out. That

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: can't possibly happen. And unfortunately it did. Yeah, unfortunately it did.

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 2: I mean uh to uh to pitch a shutout. I mean,

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: Baltimore is capable of that. That defensive football teams a

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: good when we know that Harbaugh, you know, has has

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: made his living as a defensive minded head coach. And uh,

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: you know, they they play hard, they believe in the scheme,

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: they believe in the system, they play with a lot

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: of pride. The Bengals couldn't get anything done. I mean

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: there was no consistency, no continuity to what they were

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: they were doing. Every once in a while, there'd be

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: a big play, uh, but that would go away quickly.

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: The effect that that big play would go away quickly,

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: and Baltimore would just bowl their necks and bow their

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: backs and not allow the Cincinnati Bengals to get another inch. David,

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: it is stunning to look at. I'm a big numbers guy,

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: and then numbers sometimes mean something and numbers sometimes mean nothing.

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: And then there's some numbers that make no sense. And if

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: you're loyal, if you hadn't watched the game, and you said,

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: wait a minute, the Bengals had the ball for thirty

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: nine minutes, Yeah, almost forty minutes to the Ravens twenty.

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: The Bengals ran seventy one plays to the Ravens forty,

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: and yet the Ravens out gained the Bengals by nineteen

44
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I mean, think about that. One team had the ball

45
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: for twenty fewer minutes and ran thirty one fewer plays

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: and out gained the other team by nineteen yards. That's

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: almost impossible.

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I mean if the numbers just

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: don't add up, it's like, wait a minute, man, that's

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: a brain cramp they're waiting to happen. You know. It's

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: just the factor that needs to be considered. There is

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: field position, you know, average drive start. Where did the

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens start their first first and ten, you know,

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: and that's where they crossed the Bengals. Really, I mean,

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: they took their soul away on those they had the ball.

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: Their field position advantage was maybe as as significantly positive

57
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: to their side of things as I've seen in a

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: long time in the National Football League. I Mean, it

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: was crazy the way that thing unfolded. And you know

60
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: at that at that point, you know your defense has

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: already have their backs up against the wall. It's like,

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: if they allow one first down, you're in field goal range,

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: you know. And and and that's that's a bad place

64
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: to be. That's a tough place to be. And and

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals could never get out of that. They

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: could never flip it, you know, flip the switch, flip

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: the coin, so to speak, and put the Ravens on

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: a long field. They had long field after long field.

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: The Ravens had short field after short field. I think

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: that was the biggest difference in the game.

71
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: And a real kicker and again filed under hard to fathom.

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: When the Bengals did get into the Ravens territory, they

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: got it into the Ravens side of the field five

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: different times and got i mean obviously zero points out

75
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: of it. But they get it to the forty and

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: half to punt, They get it to the twenty nine

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: and throw the interception. They get it to the thirty

78
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: and they turn it over on downs. They get it

79
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: to the seven Joe throws to pick six. They get

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: it to the twenty seven and they get stopped on

81
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: fourth and one. I mean, the odds if you turn

82
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: to Vegas and said, all right, what are the odds

83
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: this Bengals offense, We'll get into Ravens territory five different

84
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: times and not score a single point. I don't know

85
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: even how you calculate the odds, because that would be

86
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: seemingly be impossible, right right.

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: I mean, fourth down stops and turnovers were huge. You know,

88
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: that's the reason that Baltimore was able to pitch the shutout.

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: Really they basically, in my mind, fourth down takeaways on

90
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: downs are pretty much equivalent to turnovers. You know, you

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: don't have an opportunity to even try a field goal

92
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: and score points and you're certainly not going to put

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: it in the end zone. So you know, the multiple

94
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: possessions where that was the case for the Cincinnati Bengals,

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: way too many possessions in one game. That's for damsure.

96
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they had enough turnover taken away eight points

97
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: and allowing a pick six and fourth down stops ate

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: enough of those for an entire season, at least two

99
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: thirds of the season anyway, and they had it all

100
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: in one football game. And when you add all that up,

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: it's just a recipe for Disaster.

102
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: Boy and one drive that really jumped out to me, Dave.

103
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: And it's seventeen to nothing, and so this is still

104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: certainly the game is in play, you're not out of it,

105
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: and it's seventeen to nothing. The Bengals went on a

106
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: sixteen play trucks crauized eighty five yards and consumed eight

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: minutes on the clock. And again, if you're not watching

108
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: the game, you think, wow, sixteen play drive. But as

109
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: you were watching it, you're thinking, wait a minute, they

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: need to score multiple times here, and they're taking sixteen

111
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: plays in the time off the clock. And I'm watching

112
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: from one step to the next, and they're in the huddle,

113
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, it almost felt like it's seventeen to nothing.

114
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: It's silly to think they just wanted to get the

115
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: game over. But I don't know how you go on

116
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 2: a sixteen play drive and take eight minutes when you

117
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: need to score multiple times.

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's not much time left in the football game,

119
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: you know, And yeah, the clock management was curious. Make

120
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: you scratch your head, that's for sure. I don't know

121
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: what Zach was thinking in those situations. Only he can

122
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: answer that question. But yeah, and again field is a factor.

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: I mean, when you go on an eighteen play drive,

124
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: you haven't put it in the end zone. You start

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: your after your drive. Start was way back there, man,

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean you were back at your ten yard line,

127
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: inside your ten yard line. You had a long way

128
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: to go, You at a long distance drive coming up,

129
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: and you just could not quite finish it. That was

130
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: the story of the game. The Cincinnati Bengals just came

131
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: up short in terms of finishing, you know, at inconsistency

132
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: of play and lack of finishing. I think of the

133
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: two big headlines for this football game.

134
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: Let's get immediate reaction after the game inside the locker room.

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Here's Dave with the coach Zach Taylor.

136
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: We had a great play on defense, they gave us

137
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 4: an opportunity early in the game. And on dolphins. Obviously

138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: we had the two that that really hurt us.

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: Third down another another key, another T. The three t's

140
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: that I had for the game, we're touchdowns, turnovers and

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: takeaways and third down. Third down didn't go very well.

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: Had some fourth downs that you had to try to convert.

143
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: I mean did okay, but not you know, you were

144
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: putting too many fourth down situations. Talk about the problems

145
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: that you faced on third down.

146
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought early we were good. You know, early

147
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: we put uff in a good spot and drove the

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: ball on the field and obviously didn't finish. You know,

149
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: on one we had a turnover that took points off

150
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: the board. Another one we had a sack that that

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: took out a field goal range. And so first half

152
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: it was frustrating. We felt like there was opportunity for

153
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: points there and we came away with nothing a halftime

154
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: and obviously finished the game the same way.

155
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: You were going to go from this football game to Miami.

156
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how many degrees and just plan that's

157
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: going to be, but it's going to be. It's going

158
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: to be crazy. I know you don't necessarily want to

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: talk about the Miami Dolphins. You haven't had time to

160
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: digest the Miami Dolphins, to look at the Miami Dolphins much,

161
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: that's for sure. But I guess what do you think?

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: What are the weapons? What makes the Miami Dolphins a

163
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: solid football team?

164
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

165
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: I just know from what I've I am watching them

166
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: a long time. We'll find out. I know that they're

167
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: always a fast team and they've got a good quarterback

168
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: that gets out quick.

169
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: So your division record, if you'd won out would have

170
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: been five and one, now can be four and two.

171
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: Still pretty solid, still something to be proud of. A

172
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: foreign two record in the division, and still it could

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: give you an eight and nine record, So obviously there's

174
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: a lot to play for.

175
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: We just got to win.

176
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: You know, We're gonna come in the building every day

177
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: and focus on finding a win in Miami, finding a

178
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: win after that. It's been disappointing that this is where

179
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: we're at right now. We're all accountable for that, and

180
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 4: that's obviously a disappointing day. But tomorrow we're gonna have

181
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 4: to pick ourselves up and find a way to go

182
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 4: find a win, get some momentum.

183
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: That's what you're talking about there. One win at a time,

184
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: Paul Brown, my first head coach in the National Football League.

185
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: That's what you said. Man, you can't get a hit

186
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: yourself here, no matter what the situation. You got to

187
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 3: approach it one week at a time. You got to

188
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: try to accumulate one victory at a time. And that's

189
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: where you find yourself right now, isn't it.

190
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: That's well, that's all we can do is takeing one

191
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: game at a time and make the corrections from this

192
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 4: one and move on to the next one.

193
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 5: Took as possible.

194
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: Coach, appreciate your time. You don't have to do this.

195
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: I know that sometimes it's difficult to do this. I

196
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: know a lot of times it's very difficult to do this.

197
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: But you're a class act and we appreciate your carbon

198
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: time for us.

199
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: You got it, Zach Taylor. After the game, sum it up.

200
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: We'll take our first time out and continue. You hear

201
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: from QB one Joe Burrow on a rough day all

202
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: around as we navigate through the first of three hours

203
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: tonight if Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network and

204
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: seven hundred WLW all night sorting through yesterday on Bengals

205
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: Line and the Bengals Radio Network in seven hundred WLW

206
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: heard from Zach. Let's hear from Joe Burrow. You're at

207
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: a second. He goes twenty five of thirty nine, two

208
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five yards, sack three times, two interceptions.

209
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: Fifty eight point two was his rating. Here's Joe after

210
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: the game.

211
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 6: You go back to Wednesday, there was a lot made

212
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 6: of your moment if you're having fun or not in Cincinnati,

213
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 6: so just still let you address it. Are you still

214
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 6: enjoying playing.

215
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 7: For the Bengals?

216
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 6: And what did you make of kind of what happened

217
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 6: in your comments on Wednesday?

218
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 8: My comments had nothing to do with Cincinnati. My comments

219
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 8: had everything to do with me and my mindset in football.

220
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 9: Do you think that your mindset this week in fact

221
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 9: in your play today or was it just your player today?

222
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 6: Three years now of missing the playoffs, typically that results

223
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: in change for most NFL organizations. Do you still have

224
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 6: confidence in the people in the front office and the

225
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 6: coaching staff that they can get this roster in a

226
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 6: place and this team in a place where that wouldn't

227
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 6: happen next year?

228
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 7: A lot of confidence because I know how hard people

229
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 7: work at it.

230
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 8: We got the right people, uh starts, the players playing better,

231
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 8: and today was me from the outside.

232
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 10: Are gonna just say that the organization top to bottom

233
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 10: front the office doesn't have enough people or the right

234
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 10: people in place. You honestly feel that they do and why.

235
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 7: This is a team effort.

236
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 8: You know, at the end of the day, players got

237
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 8: to play better on the field.

238
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 7: Today was me, I gotta be better? What do you

239
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 7: feel like you could have know better today everything.

240
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 11: Why was Why was it.

241
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: So tough on there?

242
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 9: What they made such challenge?

243
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 7: They're getting good pressure, but you know, some.

244
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 8: Uncharacter uncharacteristic mental mistakes on my end and some unforced errors.

245
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: Touch on the mindset.

246
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 12: Do you think those things could be inter twined at all?

247
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 12: Is to maybe why you didn't go the way you

248
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 12: wanted to early on? Can you take us through? You

249
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 12: had a throw to Jamar, it was right for the interception, throw.

250
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 9: To Jamar in the end zone. The interception where it

251
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 9: was just those two, those two players just felt.

252
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: Like you gott.

253
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 8: Yeah the go I felt good about where I put it.

254
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 8: He got tugged a little bit. You Now, sometimes you

255
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 8: get those calls, sometimes you don't. But I felt good

256
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 8: about where I put down one. And then yeah, obviously

257
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 8: the interception was was a bit high.

258
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 12: What would you think as you go back on the

259
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 12: field for the last time, the conditions, you probably would

260
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 12: not have what was run through your mind as you

261
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 12: go back.

262
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 7: After the pick six. I mean, at that point it

263
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 7: was over, So just protect yourself.

264
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: Joe, out of playoff contention, do you want to play

265
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: the last three games personally?

266
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: I do Joe Burrow after the game and Dave clearly

267
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: he was as hard on himself as you've ever heard

268
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. It was a rough day all around for everybody.

269
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: It was a really rough day for Joe, and he

270
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: did not hold back. I love what he said. You know,

271
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: you're you're you're not gonna win NFL games when your

272
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: quarterback plays like I did today. I want everything on

273
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: my plate. That's the position I want to be in.

274
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: And it just it. It wasn't his day, It wasn't

275
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: everybody's day yesterday, but that's certainly far from a typical

276
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow afternoon.

277
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and uh, you know he uh in in typical

278
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow fashion, the leader that he is, he said,

279
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: put it on my shoulders. It's all on me, you know.

280
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: I just I did not perform the way that I'm

281
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: capable of performing. And talk to him in the in

282
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: the locker room after the game, not on not taping him,

283
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: but just conversing a little bit, and he was very,

284
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: very disappointed. He was down about his performance, and you know,

285
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 3: and deservedly so, rightfully so. But I do think one

286
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: thing about Joe Burrow is he does bounce back quickly,

287
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: and I think he will compartmentalize. Now, he'll learn, he'll

288
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: learn from this. There's a lot to learn. There are

289
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 3: lessons to learn for everybody that played in this football game.

290
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: Everybody the participate paid it in this debacle. You know,

291
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: you get shut out in the National Football League. Offensively,

292
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: a lot of lessons to learn there, and there's no

293
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: doubt defensively as well. You know, when your offense is struggling,

294
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: you have to pick them up. You know, it's a

295
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: it's basically it's a team game, and you have to

296
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,239
Speaker 3: when one when one side is struggling, one phase is struggling,

297
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: the other one has to lift and raise the boat,

298
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: so to speak. So that's the that's the biggest lesson

299
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: I think learned in this football game. And it's not

300
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: gonna be easy going to Miami, and can tell you that.

301
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: You know there's gonna be a huge temperature swing, there's

302
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: no question, and humidity could be a big issue down

303
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: there as well. So guys better eat right, they better

304
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: get their rest, better take care of their bodies because

305
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: that trip to Miami is no joke.

306
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: First time in Joe's NFL career he's been involved in

307
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: a shutout, the first Bengals home shutout since the opener

308
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: of twenty seventeen, first time Joe's played in a game

309
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: his team was shut out since twenty eighteen at LSU

310
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: against Alabama when Bama was was number one in the country.

311
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: And it also sticks out that his teammates said that

312
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: Joe addressed the team after the game. They didn't go

313
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: into details on what he said, but another thing that

314
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: you look for in a franchise quarterback and your leader,

315
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: gathering guys and speaking, and it is he put it

316
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: on him. But I'm sure the message was to the

317
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: group that we all need to do more. This is

318
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: not acceptable right now exactly.

319
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: I think that you're hitting it right on the head.

320
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: And the great quarterbacks, the great leaders that the Cincinnati

321
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: Bengals have had, and they've been blessed with tremendous quarterback

322
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: play and tremendous people at the quarterback position, and I

323
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: can envision Boomers Iceen and Can Anderson both doing exactly

324
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: what Joe Burrow did. You know, Hey, guys, I played

325
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: like horse dong. You know, there's no question about it.

326
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: I stunk, I was, I was, I sucked, I was awful.

327
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: But you guys weren't much better. You know, I mean, nobody,

328
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: nobody did anything. Uh, you know that football game was atrocious.

329
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: It was it was not not up to snuff, not

330
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: up to standard for for NFL performance. You have to

331
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: you have to play at a higher level than that.

332
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: Let's make sure. Let's let's go learn. Like I was

333
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: talking about before, lesson hard, lesson hard pill to swallow,

334
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: tough pill to swallow. But let's get it down and

335
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 3: digest it and uh and and live through it. You know,

336
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: your neighbor's going to be all over here, your family

337
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: will probably be all over you gonna be hard to

338
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: find some friends. But that's what it's like, That's what

339
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: life's all about, the National Football League. When you lay

340
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: an egg as big as the one we laid.

341
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. And you know, it's a rough day

342
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: for Joe. There's been days where he's maybe sailed to

343
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: pass or under thrown a pass. But when Joe says

344
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: an opening drive, when he took the sack that took him

345
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: out of field goal range, he said, a mental mistake

346
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: by me. Joe doesn't make mental mistake. You know, it's

347
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: a rough day when Joe's making a mental mistake right on.

348
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, just throw it away. You know

349
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: that those yards, every yard is valuable. He more than

350
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: anybody understands that. And one of those days. You know,

351
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: every once in a while, no matter what your job is,

352
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: you have a day at work where it's like, oh boy,

353
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: I wish this day would end. You know, this day

354
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: can't end fast enough. And that was the case for

355
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow and the Bengals yesterday.

356
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: No doubt, we've reached the bottom of the hour. Hangtag.

357
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: We'll flip to the defensive side of things here from

358
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: Miles Murphy. He had a nice day, a couple of sacks.

359
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: Talk more about his continuing development as we continue with

360
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW.

361
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: We rolled right along in this lendy nut of Bengals

362
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: Line and the Bengals Radio Network in seven hundred WLW,

363
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: Lance mccunt, Lester, Dave Black Them. We'll hear from Orlando

364
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 2: Brown coming up in this hour a little bit later

365
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: on Jamar Chase Head, caraus in so much more. But

366
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: let's talk defense yesterday, and let's start with Miles Murphy

367
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: who turned in a two sack day. He's up to

368
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: four and a half on the season. Here's Miles after

369
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: the game.

370
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 13: We're in the locker room with Miles Murphy after disappointing

371
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 13: loss for the Bengals. You had two sacks.

372
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 14: TJ.

373
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 13: Slayton was involved in one of those sacks. In any case,

374
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 13: how difficult were the playing conditions for everybody on both

375
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 13: sides today?

376
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 15: I mean, of course it's cold, but it's just a conditions.

377
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 15: Just you know what you signed up for football. You

378
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 15: played in any any weather, so just gotta bear with

379
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 15: it and still just play your keys.

380
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 14: Played the run, rust passer.

381
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 15: You know, do we can as a defense?

382
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 13: Big plays hurt you guys today? Did you feel like

383
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 13: that was the biggest problem my defense?

384
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 7: Uh?

385
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 15: Yeah, Limiting the explosives. They're explosive team. They got guys

386
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 15: all over at quarterback, O line, running back, receivers, So

387
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 15: you gotta do what you can't do, limit the explosives.

388
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 14: I felt we felt that we did a good.

389
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 15: Job against the run, kept them, cut them, contain, cut

390
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 15: pressure on them.

391
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 14: But it was just the explosives.

392
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 16: Uh.

393
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 15: I was I was one of them. I was one

394
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 15: of them that gave it the one of the one

395
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 15: explosive and those are just things that just can't happen.

396
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 13: Was that on the touchdown pass to al Lee? I

397
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 13: was on your but I didn't really know what your

398
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 13: responsibility was there.

399
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 15: Yeah, the first one I was supposed to Yeah, I

400
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 15: was supposed to take them on that one. And that's

401
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 15: just something that can't happen to me and or anyone.

402
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 15: I just can't happen to give up that explosive play.

403
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 13: It was a tough game in the sense that Thangals

404
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 13: had some opportunities early inside the thirty, didn't take advantage Baltimore.

405
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 13: Baltimore got a score, and then it kind of felt

406
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 13: like the momentum swung their way, particularly when they got

407
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 13: that second score late in the second quarter. Describe what

408
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 13: it was like for you guys, just from a momentum standpoint.

409
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 15: Really, as a defense, we try to approach every every

410
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 15: possession of the same like we got to get the

411
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 15: ball that for our offense, because we know our offense,

412
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 15: you know, just like there's a we have offenses full

413
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 15: of explosive guys and who they all they need is

414
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 15: a chance man, and that's that's what we try to

415
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 15: do for our offense. Just give them a chance. And

416
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 15: you know, that's the only thing we can do. Just

417
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 15: do our just do our job and continue to give

418
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 15: our give Joe to just continue to give you the ball.

419
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 15: That's that's all we want to do. That's all we

420
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 15: can do.

421
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 13: It obviously doesn't help the playoff math. Where do you

422
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 13: guys stand now with three games to go?

423
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 15: What's the same deal? The next next week is the

424
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 15: biggest game of the year. That's that's my mindset. I

425
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 15: feel like that's the entire defensive mindset. Just done to

426
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 15: next week, same mindset. Attack, stop the run, get after

427
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 15: the quarterback. But nothing changes. We're not just gonna sit

428
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 15: back and just let whatever happen to us like we're

429
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 15: gonna still attack set, set edges, do what we can

430
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 15: and just you know, show show everyone what bangle, what

431
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 15: bangle football is.

432
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 13: Appreciate your time, Miles thinking.

433
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: Miles Murphy after the game yesterday, he wasn't perfect. He

434
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: admitted his the role in in the breakdown in the

435
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: thirty yard touchdown. But if we're talking about the graph

436
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: and this team needs young guys to keep getting better

437
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: and Dave, there is clear momentum for the way Miles

438
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: Murphy has come on in the back part of this season.

439
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: Agreed lancetal question about it, And like you said, he

440
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: has four and a half sacks now in the season

441
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: with that two sack performance yesterday, that's number two in

442
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: the team. The only guy that's got more is with

443
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: Joseph a side with five. So you know, Miles Murphy

444
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: is becoming a little bit of a factor off the edge.

445
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: You know, he and Osia both young players. They both

446
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 3: have immense physical talent. Uh, and when the Bengals scouted them,

447
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: they they are size, speed ratios and everything strength overall

448
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: body strength or off the charts. So now it's a

449
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: matter of making sure that knowing the game, what they're

450
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 3: what they're expected to do in the game of football,

451
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 3: understanding football, football IQ, everything that goes along with that.

452
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: And uh, they're very intelligent, both of them have you know,

453
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 3: raw i Q. So hopefully the football IQ will will

454
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: come along quickly.

455
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: Boy, and he's somebody. Let's let's look ahead and you

456
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: know likelihood that Trey I don't know, Betray Henderson probably

457
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: not here next year. You never know, but you need

458
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: somebody to become a dominant, game changing game wrecking. I

459
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: don't want I don't expect him to immediately jump to

460
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 2: it all pro next year, but you need the continued

461
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: development of somebody who can be an impact a young,

462
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: impactful guide or defense.

463
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And if you're a defensive coordinator, Al Golden, he

464
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: wants to have a guy, all right, I know I

465
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: can count on him to pressure the quarterback, not necessarily

466
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: sack them, but pressure him, make him uncomfortable, make him

467
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: make a quicker decision than he wants. To make him

468
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: put the ball in jeopardy at least once a game,

469
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: maybe multiple times a game. And that's that's what he's

470
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: looking for defensively. And so you know, pass rush can

471
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: have an impact different ways other than quarterback sacks. Quarterback

472
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 3: being taken to the ground. That's the sexy deal that

473
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 3: everybody's looking for. You know, what kind of quarterback sacks

474
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: do you have? But quarterback pressures are important also, quarterback

475
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: hurries are important also. And the more you can get

476
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 3: out of these two young guys in that regard in

477
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 3: those two categories, the better off you're going to be.

478
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: Boy. And while we're on the defensive side of things,

479
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: and and young and needing more from Dimitris Knight Junior

480
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: has a two sack day and has five tackles, and

481
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: and that's something that the linebackers have been in the

482
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 2: crosshairs in the spotlight a lot this season. But to

483
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: see Dimitri's Knight Junior have a big day's got to

484
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: do a lot for his confidence, exactly.

485
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: And you know he's capable. I mean, you know he's

486
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: Those two sacks put him in the top policy one, two, three, four, five,

487
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: he's in the top five from the team. Now with

488
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: those two quarterback stacks tied for top five, which I mean,

489
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 3: the Bengals aren't tearing it up in terms of team

490
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: quarterback sacks, that's for sure. But again, young guys, young

491
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: guys at every level, young guys at defensive line, there

492
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: are young players at the linebacker level. There are young

493
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: guys in the back end that are starting to show up.

494
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: And the graph of their contribution and their play is

495
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: going straight up, it really is.

496
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: And if you go back started the game, first three possessions,

497
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: the defense forces a punt, forces a punt, gets the interception,

498
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 2: and then it's it's such a theme with this defense.

499
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: There'll be good, good, good, and then just ah, really

500
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 2: awfully bad on a breakdown, and there were plays they

501
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: allowed of thirty two yards thirty twenty nine, twenty eight,

502
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: twenty six, twenty five, twenty two, twenty two. And if

503
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: we go back to time obsessions, the Ravens only had

504
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 2: forty snaps and yet eight plays went for twenty two

505
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: yards or more. Those are just backbreaking and just our

506
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: steps back from so many steps you try to take forward.

507
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, they're catastrophic, you know. I mean it's like,

508
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: you know, you start to feel good about yourself. Yeah, hey,

509
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 3: things are we're believers. Man, things are going pretty well,

510
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, bam right in the face. Man,

511
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: you take a shot right in the bridge of the

512
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 3: nose and get your nose busted all over your face.

513
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that's life in the National Football League for sure.

514
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: But man, you know, these young players, they're just gonna

515
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 3: have to minimize those big plays. Every team in the

516
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: NFL is going to give up big plays. But if

517
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: you give up, you know, three big plays and eight snaps,

518
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: you're in trouble. I mean, I don't care how you

519
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 3: know who you are, what team you are, you just

520
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: can't afford to give up those kind of glosives.

521
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, just looking at the sheet for perspective, Bengals offense

522
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: ran seventy one plays and only had two plays that

523
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: gained twenty or more yards. The Ravens ran forty plays

524
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: and had eight plays that went for over twenty yards.

525
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: Those explosive plays are.

526
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: Just gut punches one out of every five.

527
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's incredible.

528
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: That's twenty percent of this is Riley taught me right

529
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: how to side for a little bit. I mean, you know,

530
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: twenty percent of your snaps are big plays, explosives. That

531
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: dog's definitely not gonna hunt if you're a defensive football team.

532
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 3: Did a lot of hunting for the Ravens, there's no question.

533
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, a final thought on young guys

534
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: and you reference Shamar Stewart. I would think final three

535
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: games will be big for him, And it looks like

536
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: the trend is he's probably we wondered he might play

537
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: this week, didn't. If he can play the final three,

538
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: that would be I think huge for his development, his confidence.

539
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: Just to get something on tape that that he can

540
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: feel good about to end the season with, I think

541
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: would mean a lot going into the off season.

542
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 3: I agree with you. And for the coaching staff, yes,

543
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 3: you know, it's like get tape, like you said, plays

544
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: from him on tape, or you can really evaluate and say,

545
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: do we need to still address this or are we good?

546
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: Do we see growth and development here? Do we feel

547
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: good about what's going on at the on the edge

548
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: for our defensive football team? And you know, can we

549
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 3: put resources somewhere else at linebacker or in the back end,

550
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: whatever we need to do on our side of the football.

551
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: Let's uh, let's let's figure it out. Let's let's do

552
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: the evaluating we need to do.

553
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially, it just popped into my head. Joseph Osai

554
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: is going to be in a contract situation. So you're

555
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: weighing Miles Murphy coming on on one end. If you

556
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: feel good over the final three with Shamar and then

557
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: maybe it impacts how you view Osai. Maybe it doesn't,

558
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: But a lot of questions and you just need young

559
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 2: progress and development. That's the bottom line.

560
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean that that is the bottom line. Young

561
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: progress and development is the lifeblood of any organization in

562
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: the NFL.

563
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: When we continue Orlando Round Junior on the offensive line

564
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: and so much more. Thanks for hanging out with us

565
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: tonight it is Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network

566
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: and seven hundred. We keep moving along on this Monday night,

567
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: picking up the pieces from yesterday, and eventually we'll turn

568
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: the attention to those Miami Dolphins coming up in our

569
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: third hour tonight of Bengals Line and the Bengals Radio Network.

570
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: We've heard from Zach, heard from Joe, heard from Miles Murphy.

571
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Let's go to the other side of the ball, and

572
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: up front Orlando Brown on the day that was for

573
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: the Bengals in the offensive line. Here's Orlando after the game.

574
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 17: You know, I definitely resonate with was and Joe on

575
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 17: a filling on that.

576
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 18: All right, Joe has done so much in his organization,

577
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 18: so many games he even wanted he came in today.

578
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 18: This one's on me as a guy who's a leader

579
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 18: on this team. Do you have Joe's back that like,

580
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 18: it's a team effort.

581
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 17: It's not just the quarterday, Yeah, one hundred percent of

582
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 17: team effort, man. And you know, so many things going

583
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 17: to being able to win a football game.

584
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 14: And it's not just about our.

585
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 17: Quarterback playing well or just our defense playing well. Uh,

586
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 17: so many things have to go together. And so uh,

587
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 17: today's losses and just on him, man, you know, zero

588
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 17: points offensively, We all got a hand in that, and

589
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 17: whatever that is.

590
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 3: You know, we'll watch the film.

591
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 2: We'll we'll learn from, you.

592
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 17: Know, mistakes that we made and be able to uh,

593
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 17: you know, focus on that and and make sure those

594
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 17: things don't happen again.

595
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: But it's never just on a joke.

596
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 14: Man.

597
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 18: You know what this locker room has to be a

598
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 18: third straight year Orlando without making them.

599
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 17: Playoffs against that, Yeah, it is surprising.

600
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 13: Man.

601
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 17: You know, we spend a lot of time uh in

602
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 17: the off season. Uh, we spend a lot of time

603
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 17: uh as a as a team, bonding and and and growing.

604
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 17: And so you know, anytime you don't get the opportunity

605
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 17: to be in a dance, it's it's frustrating and and

606
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 17: it sucks, man, And you know it puts it puts everybody, uh,

607
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 17: you know, in a in a difficult spot. But I

608
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 17: could tell you over these next three weeks, man, I'm

609
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 17: so thankful for the ability to play this football game. Uh,

610
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 17: you know, something always dreamed of as a young kid.

611
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 17: And so uh man, I'm I'm I'm thankful to be

612
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 17: playing for this organization. In the city and I'm gonna

613
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 17: continue to give it everything I got. But it is frustrated.

614
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 17: It's frustrating not being in the playoffs to get back

615
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 17: to the.

616
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 16: Super Bowl expectations you guys have. What do you feel

617
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 16: like it is the first step to get back?

618
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 7: Oh?

619
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a lot of different things.

620
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 9: Man.

621
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 17: It's it's hard to sit here and hang my hat

622
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 17: on one thing. But to me, you know, it just

623
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 17: it comes down to being able to to win when

624
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 17: we need to and showing up in these big games

625
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 17: and these big moments and so uh, you know, I've

626
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 17: I've been a part of those you know, special teams

627
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 17: and obviously a lot of guys in this locker room

628
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 17: were part of it, you know, here in twenty one

629
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 17: and twenty two being able to push to that point.

630
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 17: So h it's a lot of things, man that it's

631
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 17: gonna take for us to get back in that.

632
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: Position, youse.

633
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 17: Uh, definitely, definitely, you know. But the reality is that

634
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 17: the NFL, a lot of teams are close.

635
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 16: You know.

636
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 17: The way that this league is set up is designed

637
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 17: for everybody to have an even playing field, with the

638
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 17: way the draft order, the waiver wire, the cap, uh,

639
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 17: so you know what's the take to to be able

640
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 17: to win a Super Bowl? You know, that's that's a

641
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 17: whole building, that's a whole uh set of players that

642
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 17: are focused on the task at hand and understand that

643
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 17: it's one day at a time. You know, you can't

644
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 17: win the Super Bowl and September. You can't win it

645
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 17: in April. You gotta go win it when the when

646
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 17: the game's played in February. So you know, I man,

647
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 17: once we once we continue to to grow and and

648
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 17: we get to that point, to me, we'll be able

649
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 17: to hopefully finish when those that opportunity comes.

650
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 18: How much is it the test of professionalism next three

651
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 18: weeks for the guys in here, not having a shot

652
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 18: to go to the playoffs still play up to the

653
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 18: standard that you expect.

654
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's important, man, It's important cause, Uh, I know

655
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 17: my brothers are relying on me, and you know I'm

656
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 17: gonna continue to come out here and give them all.

657
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 5: Why is that important?

658
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 11: Makes?

659
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 5: Uh?

660
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean for so many reasons.

661
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 16: Uh.

662
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 17: You know, I think there's a lot of people that

663
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 17: would you know, I don't wanna be dramatic, but.

664
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: Die for this opportunity.

665
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 17: I mean, you know, and that's that's the reality to me. So, uh,

666
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 17: you know, anytime I get the opportunity to suit up

667
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 17: in this game and and go out here and play

668
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 17: with my brothers, always give.

669
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: It all up. Orlando Brown on the uh, the struggles

670
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: and difficulties yesterday, and and Dave that it's not all

671
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: on the offensive line, and Joe admitted some of his

672
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: mistakes as well. But Joe got sacked three times, he

673
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: got hit ten times. It wasn't the crisp offensive line

674
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: play we've seen in the recent weeks for that group.

675
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: No, I mean three quarterback sacks, ten quarterback hits, and

676
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: that's not even including pressures that weren't hits. Yes, So

677
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: you know, Joe was kind of you know, Ben Gazeera,

678
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: he was, he was on the run, he was on

679
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: the move quite a bit. You hate to see your

680
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: quarterback get sacked, but you don't want your quarterback to

681
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: get hit ten times in the National Football League. Every

682
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: time he gets hit, you know, the odds increased that

683
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: one of them may be very painful. Yes, So you

684
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: want to you want to clean that up. You want

685
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: to address that. You want to make sure three games

686
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: left in the in the regular season, you want Miami,

687
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: Arizona and Cleveland. You want to make sure that you

688
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: minimize the exposure that Joe Burrow has to pressure, resulting

689
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: in the quarterback Harrison quarterback hits.

690
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that game, I think it's fair to say,

691
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: got very chippy. And the longer it went on, the

692
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: more I worried about Joe. You're thinking, all right, this

693
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: is not their day. The last thing you really need

694
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: is a cheap shot, a laid hit, something that's going

695
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: to impact Joe. And it was trending that way multiple

696
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: times yesterday.

697
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. And you know, it's a division battle,

698
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: a heated division battle. Baltimore and Cincinnati. They there's bad

699
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: blood there. They don't really like each other, there's no

700
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: question about that. And uh and and usually more and

701
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: more of the pushing and shoving and chippiness and activity

702
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: after this play is completed happens up front. So those

703
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: are the guys that that need to kind of keep

704
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: their cool, keep their composure, and just take it out

705
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: each other. Uh, from the snap to the whistle, and

706
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: then after that go back to the huddle, line up

707
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: and do it again the next time and go snap

708
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: to whistle, No doubt about it.

709
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: Hey. Coming up in our second hour, we'll hear from

710
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and Ted Carris and uh mortiget to as

711
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: we eventually turn to our second hour, three Big Ones

712
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: tonight to break it all down, come back and head

713
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: down the stretch of hour one as we continue with

714
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: Bengals Line of the Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred

715
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: WLW down the stretch we go of our first hour,

716
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: first of three IF Bengals Line of the Bengals Radio

717
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: Network and Lance.

718
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: As always, we have the Kettering Health Report, the Injury Report,

719
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: that's a feature every week where really, I think, as

720
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: I think back, the Bengals didn't have any real severe

721
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: problems coming out of this football game. I don't think

722
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: anybody's gonna miss any big time. We do have a

723
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: bruised shin that you know, that's a little bit of

724
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: an issue for Osai. All of that is presented by

725
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: Kettering Health, the official healthcare provider of the Cincinnati Bengals,

726
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: providing the best care for the best fans.

727
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: And how about what I'm thinking of it? And it

728
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: points to who he is and no one's ever questioned

729
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: who he is or what he's all about. Some J. P.

730
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: Ryan has carved off at one point and you turn around,

731
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: you look at he's coming right back onto the field,

732
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: and you can just imagine him saying, blankety blank, I'm

733
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: going back into that game.

734
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: He is a tough dude. We were talking about that,

735
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: you know, on the air. He came off the field,

736
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: went into the blue tent, and he was out of

737
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 3: there quickly.

738
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: Man.

739
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, I guess whatever if it was,

740
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 3: if he got wrong, they cleared the concussion protocol symptoms

741
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 3: pretty damn quickly, that's for sure. If he had some

742
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 3: sort of an issue on a sprain or whatever it was,

743
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: it was determined not to be that severe. But that

744
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: dude is tough man, and he is physical. He is

745
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: a horse. I mean he's uh his his quadriceps, his hamstrings,

746
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 3: his calves strong. I mean he's got unbelievable legs, leg power,

747
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 3: and he churns those those legs, you know when he

748
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: moves the whole pile when he's when he's pushing runs

749
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: with a good body, lean as well, and he gives

750
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: very little hitting surface. A big, powerful back that has

751
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 3: good soft hands can catch it and he will block.

752
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: He will uh quarterbacks and Joe Burrow in particular will

753
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: love him. He'll stick his nose right in the chest

754
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: of linebackers and safeties and stone them.

755
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: Ten degrees at kickoff yesterday minus one wind chill, so

756
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: cold yesterday, so cold yesterday the booth windows were closed,

757
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 2: that they were or on orders closed the booth windows

758
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 2: or you know what Yd's equipment freezing up or anything

759
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: like that. You know why you had uncomfortable honestly during

760
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: the game, as will so close him and everybody. But

761
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 2: you know, it's cold when the windows have to be closed,

762
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: and that's the way it was yesterday.

763
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what governing body

764
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 3: makes that decision you and I'm not sure who makes

765
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: the call un closing uh closing the windows at pay Corps.

766
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: But it was toasty. The booth was very comfortable, and

767
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 3: no question about that. I know it was chili willie

768
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: for the boys out in the field. And I remember

769
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: when it was like in the freezer.

770
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: Ball man, you think about that, I said, you know,

771
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: yesterday and obviously a big deal is made out of

772
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: the weather windshill minus won and I'm looking around one

773
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I mean, certainly everybody remembers what minus

774
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 2: fould we think of just saying it out loud minus

775
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: fifty nine wind chill. That doesn't even sound humanly possible,

776
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 2: and yet it very much was possible.

777
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was cruel and unusual punishment. I

778
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: can say that, man, I have never been close to

779
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: that cold at any other point in my lifetime. And

780
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 3: they came close to calling that game, postponing the game.

781
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: It was like in the in the final hour, really

782
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: they made the determination to just go ahead and let

783
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: it roll out. Yesterday's game was never in any danger

784
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: of you know, postponement, cancelation for twenty four hours or whatever.

785
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 3: But yeah, that was chili. And I can identify man

786
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: watching the take cares out there and warm ups and

787
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:43,920

Speaker 9: Jo was especial league hard on himself and as he

833
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 9: he had elblities and was one of the worst things

834
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 9: he ever played.

835
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 14: What was your thoughts on Joe's cart.

836
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 19: Uh, I've been knowing Joe for a long time, and

837
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 19: at the end of the day, I know where he's

838
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 19: capable of. I know when he's off, I know when

839
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 19: he's on. But I gotta find a way to help him.

840
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 19: You know what I'm saying. It he's off on, it

841
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 19: don't matter. I gotta beat that for him, encourage him, you.

842
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 14: Know what I'm saying. Just do whatever I can for you.

843
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 13: At a couple of thirty yard catches, Jamorrow but what's

844
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 13: their plan to take away the deep ball? Is that

845
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 13: what Baltimore prioritize.

846
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 19: I'm not sure what they planning was today, but I'm

847
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 19: sure it was not for us to score.

848
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 7: So what'd you been?

849
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 5: What's it like to see if Beast are called himself

850
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 5: after a game? I think the most he's ever after.

851
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: Any kind of fuck.

852
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 19: He just he just really loved the game. Man, he

853
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 19: just wanna be great. And at think then I could

854
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 19: respect that from him. But like he told me, don't care.

855
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 19: I ain't gonna I ain't gonna let him kill himself

856
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 19: mentally by just one game he played better.

857
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 13: How hard is it to accept the fact that you're

858
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 13: officially alarm?

859
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 14: Hard pill to swallow? But I mean, at the end

860
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 14: of the day, is where we got a live with.

861
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 5: How would you sum up this season?

862
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 9: Howse the the the roller baster or stups and down

863
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 9: everything that he doesn't know?

864
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 19: Yeah, we just I don't know. I don't know if

865
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 19: I mean, I don't know, Man, you gotta find a

866
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 19: way at the end of the day.

867
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 14: A complimentary football has been tough for you guys this year.

868
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: Why is it doing so much harder this year than.

869
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 19: Past season, but that that don't mean nothing, you know

870
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 19: what I'm saying. As in the day, we still have

871
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 19: opportunities to put ourselves in a position with the close

872
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 19: games and we dat them. So uh we just gotta

873
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 19: you gotta find a way to execute them.

874
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 14: And when games going.

875
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 5: Forward, do you still believe in this coaching stuff?

876
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 11: Yeah?

877
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 19: I mean we had great plays today, that was opportunities

878
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 19: so for us to score and and and kill 'em deep,

879
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 19: but you know, sometimes we just didn't connected.

880
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 3: So be it three straight seasons missing the playoffs.

881
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 11: What kind of changes would you like to see in

882
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 11: this offseason?

883
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 19: M You know, if I if I can, if I

884
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 19: had to say so, it'd probably be be something. But

885
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 19: I don't know what I could do. So all I

886
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 19: could do is control what I could control.

887
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 2: How do you.

888
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 21: Approach these last three weeks now, you know, being eliminated,

889
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 21: just playing towards.

890
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 11: The end of the season.

891
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 19: Uh, I just gotta be a leader man, be a captain,

892
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 19: pushing the guys forward and just trying to finish strong.

893
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 10: What kind of battitude they wanna say after this SAFS playing.

894
00:40:58,840 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 14: It's just about finishing strong.

895
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 19: Had playing many everybody got come in and work we

896
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 19: all coming in the same thing, doing the same stuff

897
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 19: every day. Everybody time is being doing being put in

898
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 19: around the same thing. So we gotta come in and

899
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 19: just keep pushing it and just finish strong. That's all

900
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 19: I think we could do. At the end of the day.

901
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 5: Three years ago, when you guys left the Arrow had

902
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 5: losing the second ARC Championship, they told you that you

903
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 5: wouldn't be back, just didn't a plan over the next

904
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 5: three years. What do you think your.

905
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 14: Reaction would have been, Uh, I probably wouldn't believe you.

906
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 12: What's the attribute to think y'all probably missing most to

907
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 12: get back to that point?

908
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 14: Could again, what's the.

909
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 5: Attribute y'all are missing most as a team? More than that?

910
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 3: More like is there?

911
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 14: I'm not sure. Man. At the end of the day, offense,

912
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 14: it's either.

913
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 19: The offense is clicking or the defense is clicking. One

914
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 19: of the days we we have never yet to put

915
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 19: our offense and defense together as one unit and play

916
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 19: together with.

917
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 10: So much on the line this week, Jamark, did you

918
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 10: guys feel mentally prepared to take on the Ravens today?

919
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 19: I I believe we felt mentally prepared. But it's the

920
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 19: best of the best that then and it's the NFL.

921
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 19: And what's the hardest part?

922
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 2: I play again, when it's that hold out there, what's

923
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: the hardest part?

924
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 14: Trying trying to breathe, trying to breathe? Yeah?

925
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: Does that make everything.

926
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 5: You're seeing that much more intense?

927
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: Just tough?

928
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: When everything's aren't going on?

929
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 5: How much more difficult does it feel when it is

930
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 5: that cold?

931
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 19: I mean, you gotta it's football, man, and the day

932
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 19: it's a physical sport. But the cold don't make it

933
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 19: no better. And you you gotta be out there, you

934
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 19: gotta play.

935
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 13: Does surviving in the ground, like when you're catching the ball?

936
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 11: Does that change in the cold?

937
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 6: Does?

938
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 9: It seemed like that was an Issu're not just for

939
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 9: anyone in particular, but as a whole.

940
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 3: The skin.

941
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 14: Like surviving getting tackled, like knowing how to fall and stuff.

942
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 9: Like when you're catching the ball and you to make

943
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 9: you have a completion when you hit the ground.

944
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 14: I I don't pay attention to I'm not gonna lie you.

945
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 14: I mean to get in the hit on them. I'm

946
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 14: not so more.

947
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 5: You know Joe better than just about anybody.

948
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 14: What do you do to lift him?

949
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: What?

950
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 14: What I from being honest?

951
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 19: I never I never been in a situation with him

952
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 19: where I had to uplift him, you know what I'm saying.

953
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 19: But going forward, I might need to because he does

954
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 19: it to me at the end of the day, and

955
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 19: you never know what he might be going through, so

956
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 19: I might I might need to start doing that.

957
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 13: You know, your bottom line is winning and losing. But

958
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 13: does the shutout make it worse? Does that rep you

959
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 13: the wrong way?

960
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 19: If I'm being honest, I read blown out, then be

961
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 19: playing in a close game and lose byfield goal, so that.

962
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 11: Jam Joe burrows a stage.

963
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 14: I'm not sure. This is my first time.

964
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 19: You know, probably going to have to if anything, but

965
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 19: I probably doubt I will, But.

966
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 14: I don't know.

967
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 19: We just probably just gonna kick it, chill and just

968
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 19: try not to talk about football.

969
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 14: If I'm being honest, Yeah.

970
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 6: Is it adds like a weird feeling?

971
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: Not really, No, Jamar Chase on a difficult day, he

972
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: was targeted sixteen times. You know it's it. It wasn't

973
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 2: and Jamar kind of alluded to it. There was there

974
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: were times where he and Joe didn't seem to be

975
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: on the same page, But in the end, it's still

976
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: a ten think about it. It's still a ten catch,

977
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty two yard day for Jamar Chase,

978
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: which shows his greatness. He's still able to have a

979
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: day like that when it maybe it wasn't at the

980
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: most proficient level between he and his quarterback.

981
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Jamar referenced it. He said in the locker

982
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 3: room back to the game. You know, Joe was off.

983
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: Joe wasn't like Joe can be. You know, Joe wasn't precision,

984
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: pinpoint accuracy. I wanted to try to help as as

985
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: much as I possibly could. We've been together for a

986
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 3: long time, all the way back to the LSU days,

987
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 3: and probably I don't know about the All Star gamers too,

988
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: not who knows, but they know each other cold, they

989
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 3: know exactly. They've got kind of esp in terms of

990
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 3: being on the same page and seeing the game the

991
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: same way, seeing coverage is the same way, seeing defenses

992
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 3: the same the same way, and they can tell when

993
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: each other's having a good day or a bad day

994
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 3: or whatever and the reasons for it. So yeah, it

995
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 3: it definitely was not. It was a big day for Jamar.

996
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 3: How about targeted sixteen times? Many and really quarterbacks, you know,

997
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: I remember when Kenny would say, you know, when you're

998
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 3: in struggling, when you're not things aren't going the way

999
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 3: you anticipated them to go, you look for the guy

1000
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 3: that's your safety net. You look for the guy that,

1001
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 3: no matter what, you know, he's gonna be where he's

1002
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: supposed to be when he's supposed to be there, doing

1003
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 3: exactly what he's supposed to do. And uh, Kenny had Trump,

1004
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 3: he loved, he loved to locate Bob Trumpy and you know,

1005
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 3: the pro bowler stepped up for Kenny many times. And

1006
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 3: that's the relationship that Jamar Chase and Joe Borrow have

1007
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: as well.

1008
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 2: I think it's a great point in the trust and

1009
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 2: know he's going to be there, because, let's be honest,

1010
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 2: Yoshi had another yesterday and in Tinsley had a moment

1011
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: where he probably should have had a touchdown catch at

1012
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 2: the end zone. And it's only you're only human, if

1013
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 2: you're Joe of if there's enough that you store in

1014
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 2: the back of your mind and you wonder about you

1015
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: never have to wonder about throwing the ball to Jamar

1016
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: Chase or or somebody. And he wasn't there yesterday. So

1017
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 2: sixteen targets makes a lot of sense. If you're calculating

1018
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 2: in the back of your mind, Am I gonna throw

1019
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: it to player A, B or C who maybe not

1020
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: in the right spot might make the dry ar? Am

1021
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: I just gonna maybe force it a little bit to

1022
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 2: Jamaar because I know where he's gonna be. And it's

1023
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: easy to do that.

1024
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It's easy to start to fall into

1025
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: that trap a little bit. And speaking about T Higgins,

1026
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 3: you know he's from the Florida area originally. For him

1027
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 3: to go down to Miami and play against the Dolphins

1028
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 3: is a big deal. It's a big deal for him,

1029
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 3: for his family, for his friends. Everybody's going to be

1030
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: excited to watch T Higgins perform and he who probably

1031
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 3: I'll guarantee you T Higgins is playing on, putting on

1032
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 3: a show. And have you know, like almost a double

1033
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: digit catch, you know, maybe seven to ten catches for

1034
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 3: you know, one hundred and twenty five to one hundred

1035
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 3: and forty yards, a couple of touchdowns. I could see

1036
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: those kind of numbers for T Higgins in this football

1037
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: game against the Dolphins.

1038
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 2: One final thought on Jamar, I thought maybe the most

1039
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: telling thing he said after the game was about his

1040
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 2: connection with Joe, and you alluded to how they understand

1041
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: each other, and I thought it was pretty powerful when

1042
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 2: Jamar said, I've never been in this situation where I

1043
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: have to uplift him, but going forward, I might need to.

1044
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 2: Joe does it to me. At the end of the day,

1045
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: you never know what he might be going through, so

1046
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 2: I might need to start doing that. And I think

1047
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 2: that's great recognition of Jamar of his quarterback. His friend

1048
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 2: isn't where he usually is. Where there, it's mentally physically

1049
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 2: and needs needs him now, and I think that's great

1050
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 2: recognition by Jamar of what he has to do now.

1051
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think you're right, And I think

1052
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 3: you know, Joe made mention after the game that he's

1053
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 3: got some personal things that he's dealing with. It's not

1054
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: necessarily football related, it's not organizational related to the Cincinnati Bengals,

1055
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 3: but he has to work through and sort through some things.

1056
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 3: And if anybody can help him do that and forget

1057
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: about those things, it's Jamar Chase and t Higgins, yep.

1058
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 3: And I just I think both of them are gonna

1059
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 3: combine for a massive day down there against the Miami Dolphins.

1060
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 3: I can see them really saying, Joe, we got your back, buddy.

1061
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 3: You know you've had ours many many times. Yes, you've

1062
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 3: made us look good. Time for us to make you

1063
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 3: look good. We got you, bro.

1064
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: Very well, said, very well, said still ahead. Ted Carris

1065
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: on the day that was at pay Corps. This is

1066
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 2: Bengals on on the Bengals Radio network and seven hundred WLW.

1067
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: Let's keep covidight along on this Monday night of Bengals

1068
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: on on the Bengals Radio network in seven hundred WLW.

1069
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 2: And let's get back into the offensive line side of things.

1070
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: Ted Carris talking after the game about the day that

1071
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: was for the Bengals. Here is the Bengals center.

1072
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 13: Ted, I'll get Baltimore credit. They played well on defense.

1073
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 13: What were some of the things that they did well today?

1074
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 22: Finish in the red zone with turnovers and knocks out

1075
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 22: a field goal range.

1076
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 11: So zero points ridiculous.

1077
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 13: Those first couple of drives which you're alluding to. You

1078
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 13: got to the twenty five the first time, the twenty

1079
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 13: nine the second time and didn't come away with points.

1080
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 13: How much of a momentum swing is that? How much

1081
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 13: does that knock you back?

1082
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 22: I mean, defense gave up seventeen points. That should be

1083
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 22: enough to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

1084
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 3: So not good enough.

1085
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 13: Third downs were great last week, it was a struggle today.

1086
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 13: Anything stand out off the top of your head.

1087
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 3: Not yet.

1088
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 22: I'm gonna go home and watch it. So, but didn't

1089
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 22: convert enough, obviously, and didn't score enough points.

1090
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 13: Were How big of a factor were the weather conditions?

1091
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 5: Non factor?

1092
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 13: You just got it out. You just got it out. Yeah,

1093
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 13: you beat these guys a week and a half ago, essentially,

1094
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 13: how did that affect the game today? Could you tell

1095
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 13: that they were now hell bent on evening the score?

1096
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 14: I'm sure they were, and so were we.

1097
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 22: So they executed way better than we did and won

1098
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 22: the football game twenty four to nothing.

1099
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 3: So you gotta gotta go take a look at it.

1100
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 11: And then, uh got three weeks left to do something?

1101
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 13: What is the goal the mission for these final three weeks?

1102
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 3: Win?

1103
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 13: It's almost hard to fathom a game where you guys

1104
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 13: don't score. You've been so good offensively. How does it,

1105
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 13: you know, strike you when you look up at the

1106
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 13: end of the game and you got a goosegg on

1107
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 13: the scoreboard?

1108
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 3: It doesn't strike me.

1109
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 22: Well, So we gotta I mean at zero points unacceptable

1110
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 22: at any any level of football in the NFL with

1111
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 22: the most dynamic offense.

1112
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 14: So I gotta go take a look at it.

1113
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 3: And get ready for Miami.

1114
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: Ted Carris after the game, and Dave Ted alluded to it.

1115
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: Joe alluded to it. The Ravens this time around seemed

1116
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 2: to be able to get pressure without blitzing a lot,

1117
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 2: just four man pressure, which was different than the match

1118
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. It just seemed like they figured out

1119
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 2: something that gave the Bengals some problems from that standpoint.

1120
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, the fact that they got significant pressure,

1121
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 3: you know, three quarterback sacks and hit the quarterback hits,

1122
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: the knockdowns, the pressures making Joe uncomfortable, making him throw

1123
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 3: the ball before he really wanted to, before he felt

1124
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 3: comfortable with what he saw. That that that's kind of surprising, honestly,

1125
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: because you got five to block four and then you're

1126
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 3: gonna have back out of the backfield as a safety valve,

1127
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 3: little safety net, and Joe can get the if he's

1128
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 3: got any problems, get the ball down, check it down

1129
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 3: to him right away. Uh. So, the fact that that

1130
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 3: speaks to not only the pressure that the Miami Dolphins

1131
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 3: put on with their four man rush. Everybody was winning

1132
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 3: more matchups going one on one against the Bengals offensive

1133
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 3: lineman than they lost. They they also had good coverage

1134
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 3: in the back end because you know, Joe is known

1135
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 3: for getting the ball out, getting the ball out quickly.

1136
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 3: I mean it's almost like he seems to and when

1137
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 3: the ball's come in the shotgun, he catches it and

1138
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 3: throws it all one motion. I mean, never really even

1139
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 3: hold on to the football for any any period of time.

1140
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, it speaks to how well they looked at

1141
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 3: the at the first matchup and said, you know what,

1142
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: we're going to change everything. We're we're we've only got

1143
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 3: a little bit of time. You know, we do have

1144
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 3: to game plan obviously for the opponent in between here,

1145
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 3: but we are gonna we're gonna do things a lot

1146
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 3: differently the next time we face the Cincinnati Bengals, and

1147
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 3: it turned out to be real successful.

1148
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 2: By the way. Final thought before the bottom they are

1149
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 2: on Ted Carris and thinking of offensive lineman and the

1150
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: cold Uh, there's the legendary story of the vasolene. Do

1151
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 2: our our offensive lineman? And are you allowed today to

1152
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 2: wear vasoline? Or was that banned or outlawed. Did anything

1153
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 2: change after you guys did it?

1154
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I'm not sure how the league

1155
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 3: handled that. I'm not sure if there were any any

1156
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 3: changes to what you were allowed to do from a

1157
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 3: uniform code standpoint. But I don't think yesterday it was

1158
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 3: necessarily you know, so called that you had to resort

1159
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 3: to that.

1160
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 2: It wasn't a vaciline day.

1161
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 3: It might not have been a vacine day, right, what

1162
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: might not have been?

1163
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 2: We've reached the bottom of the hour, Hang tight, much

1164
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 2: more to get to. He's Dave Lapham, I'm Lance, but callister.

1165
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 2: This is Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network and

Speaker 2: night of FENOS on Bengals Radio. If to get seven

1168
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 2: hundred WLW. We've talked to offense, we've talked defense. We're

1169
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 2: making our way through what all took place yesterday at

1170
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: pay Corps and let's oh, I know, as I'm thinking

1171
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 2: about it, we left off with the vasiline and you'll

1172
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 2: appreciate this. One of my other broadcast partners, Rocky Boyman,

1173
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 2: has told a story from a defensive side of things.

1174
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: He used to. Now tell me if you've ever heard

1175
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: of this. He used to spray what amounted to like

1176
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 2: pam cooking spray silicon. Yes, so you guys are the

1177
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: offensive side couldn't get a hold of it. Have you

1178
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 2: heard of that? Now that's illegal, he's he's I think

1179
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: he said, now it's illegal. But they used to just.

1180
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We had defensive players. Bengal teammates

1181
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 3: did it, and defensive players did it that. I was

1182
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: playing against h frequently regularly, and it was I mean,

1183
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 3: it'd be like.

1184
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 2: What the heck is that slipping right off?

1185
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 3: If there's some slick stuff right there, boy, it really is.

1186
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 2: That's beautiful looking at guys lockers. Hey, yeah, you got cologne,

1187
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: you got the deoder, you got what you've got Pam

1188
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: crooking spreads what that cooking spray? For whatever it takes,

1189
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 2: whatever advantage there is to be found, it will eventually

1190
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 2: be found.

1191
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 3: There's no question about it.

1192
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: Wayne box Miller yesterday had a chance to talk with

1193
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 2: McKinley Jackson, the Bengals second year defensive lineman, who had

1194
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 2: some interesting thoughts about learning to be a professional, understanding professionalism,

1195
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 2: and kind of knowing the game I thought it was

1196
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 2: worth listening to McKinley. Then, Dave, I want to ask

1197
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: you about just learning to be a pro when you

1198
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: enter the league. Here is Wayne box Miller with McKinley Jackson.

1199
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 23: Let's talk about the difference so far for you between

1200
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 23: year one and the following year.

1201
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 20: Uh, it's been a big transition just understanding how the

1202
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 20: NFL leads and just understanding the routine. But as far

1203
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 20: as like just you know, playing should at the same

1204
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 20: intelligence go out there. I stted to prove myself and

1205
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 20: you know, do whatever it takes to win.

1206
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 23: You know, you came from a high level college conference

1207
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 23: at CC, you come here. Talk about the preparation that

1208
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 23: gave you. Do you feel like that prepared you a

1209
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 23: little bit more because you were in competition every week

1210
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 23: in that league.

1211
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 20: Nah, competition never dictated my preparation. That's one thing I

1212
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 20: would say, just a preparation just to being around professional

1213
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 20: other professional athletes. And there's thirty one other teams, so

1214
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 20: I mean other guys are preparing to you know, play

1215
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 20: the world the best work CLIs of athletes, So I

1216
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 20: feel like you got to take it upon yourself to

1217
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 20: prepare these situations and you know, it's a weekend and

1218
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 20: we got Uh. It doesn't get any easier and these

1219
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 20: wins are hard fought. So you know, just preparing is

1220
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 20: the biggest thing rather than just just god given ability

1221
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 20: brute strength. Just just the preparation is the biggest thing.

1222
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 23: Talk about the veterans and what they mean to you

1223
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 23: when you come in, because there's so much about this

1224
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 23: game that's different at this level.

1225
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 20: Yeah, you just obviously you want to just look at

1226
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 20: look at them and just if all that shadowt and

1227
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 20: just you know, just keen on what they're doing to

1228
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 20: get to these uh these mark second contract.

1229
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 3: Uh you're eight year nine All pros Pro Bowlers. Uh.

1230
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 20: Some guys been here at a BA Football Champs. So

1231
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 20: it's like, you know, you want to take every circle

1232
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 20: and everything that they give out. You know, it's a

1233
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 20: it's just a place where like no one is bigger

1234
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 20: than the team, and you know what's better than next man?

1235
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 20: So it's nothing but gaming. I can learn from each guy.

1236
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 23: Do you feel a sense of accomplishment as you pick

1237
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 23: up nuggets and different things and you have those aha

1238
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 23: moments like, man, this is really starting to come together

1239
00:56:59,640 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 23: for me.

1240
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 20: No, I put the person on myself because I mean

1241
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 20: the world is full of critics, so you can't never

1242
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 20: be you can't you can't never be comfortable in this game.

1243
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 20: And it's always send me to work on. So it's

1244
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 20: a sense of accomplishment. I mean, once the ring hitting

1245
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 20: my finger and then these guys feel in the locker room,

1246
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 20: I feel accomplished then. But until then, you know, I'm

1247
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 20: putting my head down and I put my heart head on.

1248
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 23: How do you feel about the players you play with,

1249
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 23: because many of them, when I talk to them, they

1250
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 23: talk about you, and you get that. You don't get words,

1251
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 23: something to forget the eyebrow. I was like, man, they

1252
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 23: really just appreciate who you are and how you play.

1253
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 20: I appreciate that, and I appreciate these guys for sitting

1254
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 20: here just being paid with me, you know, early on,

1255
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 20: like you know, it took me a little bit to

1256
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 20: understand professionalism, especially in this league. And you know, you know,

1257
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 20: once I get it, I get a downpack. Guys are

1258
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 20: really like you know, they trusted me, and I went

1259
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 20: out there and I made players, and you know, hopefully

1260
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 20: I can keep doing that and just just do it

1261
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 20: a high level and keep continuously doing it and making

1262
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 20: plays for this team, helping them. It's get the best

1263
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 20: position to get in the playoffs and then you know

1264
00:57:59,200 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 20: we go on from there.

1265
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 23: Lastly, I always say to young guys, at some point

1266
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 23: you realize that the game of football gives way to

1267
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 23: the business of football. When did that kind of hit you,

1268
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 23: because it seems like you learned that pretty early.

1269
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, and yeah, it was a it was a tough spot,

1270
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 20: especially this year, just you know, not getting out there

1271
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 20: and not helping his team, not helping his team and

1272
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 20: just contributing. I mean, no matter if we went on losing,

1273
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 20: it's just that you still want to contribute. And I'm

1274
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 20: just a guy that never never was not able to

1275
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 20: play football unless I was you know, injured in my

1276
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 20: whole life. So this year there's been a testament to

1277
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 20: just uh my faith and just staying patient and you know,

1278
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 20: trusting my coach and schurch on my teammates and you know,

1279
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 20: doing my part as a player, and you know, we can,

1280
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 20: we can. We got out just beend on it and

1281
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 20: you know, hopefully being an impact forul player for this

1282
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 20: team and just uh to continue for us to get

1283
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 20: better and get another winning Well.

1284
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 3: You know, I have no question that's gonna come.

1285
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 23: I see how hard you work, and your peers respect you,

1286
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 23: so thank you so much for spending time with us.

1287
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 5: I appreciate it.

1288
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 2: Thank you box with McKinley, Jackson and David. I thought

1289
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: it was very interesting to hear McKinley, who's in his

1290
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 2: second year and has had his ups and downs and

1291
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 2: moments and not so great moments, but say and admit

1292
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: it took him a minute to understand how to be

1293
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 2: a professional on this level. And the more I've thought

1294
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: about that, it is one thing for preparation and preparing

1295
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: your body and your mind. In college, you get to

1296
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 2: be a pro. You've got a lot more free time,

1297
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 2: you don't have class, you got paid, you got a

1298
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: nice paycheck, signing bonus. There is a there's a big

1299
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 2: gap between what it means to be a pro high

1300
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 2: school college to pro. That's a huge jump. And it

1301
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 2: doesn't always doesn't always click with guys right away, does it.

1302
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. And the best thing to have as

1303
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 3: a mentor, Yes, you know somebody that's done it, done it,

1304
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 3: and has done it well and has done it maybe

1305
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 3: close to the timeframe that you're doing it. If you've

1306
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: got a guy that has had success, a modicum of success,

1307
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 3: and he's in his fourth year, for example, you know,

1308
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 3: go pick his brain, Go sit down with him in

1309
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: the locker room, or you know, outside the locker room

1310
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 3: at a restaurant having a bite, heat or whatever. And

1311
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 3: what what do you do? Man? How do you how

1312
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 3: do you get ready? How do you look at tape?

1313
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 3: How do you study?

1314
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 7: What?

1315
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: What are some of the keys? What are some of

1316
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 3: the tips. A guy that was big for me was

1317
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 3: Bob Johnson. Bob Johnson had uh everything in terms of

1318
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 3: being a pros pro. He understood the game of football

1319
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 3: at the highest possible level. He was an offensive Lineman

1320
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 3: of the Year at Tennessee when he was a college

1321
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 3: football player, first pick ever in the Cincinnati Bengals in

1322
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: the history of their franchise. So, you know, I read

1323
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 3: about all that stuff about Bob Johnson. When I got

1324
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 3: drafted by the Bengals. I got a media guide and

1325
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 3: started boning up on some teammates and stuff, and then think,

1326
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm listen to this dude. I think he might know

1327
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 3: what the hell he's talking about. And he and Bob

1328
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 3: Trumpy were roommates and they were both unbelievable resources for

1329
01:00:58,080 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 3: me as a rookie that didn't know what the hell

1330
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 3: was going on.

1331
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would imagine it takes your your special veterans,

1332
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 2: because I would think there would be some veterans who

1333
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 2: might look and say, well, here comes the young buck,

1334
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 2: and he's gonna take my job. I'm not gonna I'm

1335
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 2: not at all. It says a lot about the veteran

1336
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 2: who is the willing mentor ultimately.

1337
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 3: No question about it. That and that is, that is

1338
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 3: a fact. You know, when you're maybe like Isaac Curtis

1339
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 3: and you have such unique talent, skill talent and skill set,

1340
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 3: I should say, uh, you know an Olympic caliber sprinter

1341
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 3: that had you know, sticky fingers, glue fingers. You know

1342
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 3: that you know that they're going to find a role

1343
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 3: for you, a spot for you. You're going to be

1344
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 3: taking a ton of snaps. So you don't go ahead

1345
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 3: and help a young buck out. You know, there's no

1346
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 3: question about it. But if you're a guy that is

1347
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 3: is basically fighting and scraping to make the football team,

1348
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 3: you're you know, holding your breath on final cutdown day

1349
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 3: year after year. You're not going to give a young rook,

1350
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 3: a young buck that was a high draft pick. Any

1351
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 3: help whatsoever.

1352
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 2: And we're talking, I mean the scope and the scale

1353
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 2: of doing this. It's understanding how important sleep is, how

1354
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 2: important diet is. Always go back to a conversation I

1355
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 2: used to always have with John Thornton, the former Bengal

1356
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: of how important it was. On Fridays for him, he

1357
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 2: always had a massage, therapy, acupuncture, and he used to

1358
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 2: always say, I invest in my body. It will cost

1359
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: X number of dollars a year for a masseuse and

1360
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 2: for acupunction everything else. But he says that investment translates

1361
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 2: to another year and another year and those that's money,

1362
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: and that's that's an investment in my body means I

1363
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 2: get to play longer and I get to make more money.

1364
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean you get a look at it as

1365
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 3: a business. Yes, it's a it's a it's a business,

1366
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 3: and you don't have to worry about inventory and inventory

1367
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 3: control and all that sort of thing. But your body

1368
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 3: is basically what your whole job is all about. And

1369
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 3: taking care of your body to the best of the

1370
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 3: ability is huge. And if you can get two or

1371
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,919
Speaker 3: three more years, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars if

1372
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 3: you can at the end of the season and you're

1373
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 3: making a playoff push and your body is well rested,

1374
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 3: well nourished, you're not tired. You're gonna play it better.

1375
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: That's a great point.

1376
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna play better, and now you're gonna get more,

1377
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 3: you know, quote bonus money. You're gonna get additional money,

1378
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 3: more game checks. You know, as you get to the

1379
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 3: the AFC, NFC championship games. We're talking serious dollars. In

1380
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl is a big payday.

1381
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 2: I give McKinley Jackson credit for the recognition and their

1382
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 2: articulation of that. I didn't understand right away how to

1383
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 2: be a professional, and you hope that lesson learned prolongs

1384
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 2: and extends his career. Sadly, the example on the other

1385
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 2: end is somebody like Jermaine Burton who didn't seemingly wasn't

1386
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 2: able to figure it out, and now he's on the

1387
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 2: street looking for another opportunity, and maybe he learns from

1388
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 2: that lesson. But that's the difference between staying in the

1389
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: league and looking for your life's work someplace else.

1390
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean, you gotta give McKinley Jackson a lot

1391
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 3: of credits from being like introspective, you know, and and

1392
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 3: looking inside himself and being honest with himself and and

1393
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 3: uh doing what he needs to do and finding out

1394
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 3: what he needs to find out to survive in advance

1395
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 3: as a professional. Burton, on the other hand, he just

1396
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 3: never got to figure out like you said, he just uh,

1397
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 3: you know, A plus B did not equal see ever

1398
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 3: for Burton. Unfortunately, when we continue, I have a list.

1399
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: I made the mistake of starting to jot down to

1400
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 2: all the Bengals third downs yesterday off basively, and I like,

1401
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 2: and then I got very depressed. I wanted to stop.

1402
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about the third down struggles and more

1403
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 2: as we continue these Dave Blapham My Glance, but callister

1404
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: Bengals Line is the show. It's on the Bengals Radio

1405
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 2: Network and it's on seven hundred w l W. We

1406
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 2: continue on this Monday. I talk at Bengals from all angles,

1407
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 2: and we've got plenty more to get to in our

1408
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 2: third hour tonight as well, look ahead to those Miami

1409
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 2: Dolphins as well. I mentioned the third downs, and I

1410
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: guess we must. We must go back through what transpired

1411
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 2: for the Bengals offensively on third down fifteen opportunities. Yesterday

1412
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 2: they converted their very first one to third and two

1413
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 2: and wound up for the game three of fifteen on

1414
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,439
Speaker 2: third down yesterday, you wonder you look back and you say,

1415
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 2: how did they not score? How did they get into

1416
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 2: territory plus territory so many times and not score? If

1417
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 2: you're three of fifteen, it's awfully hard to sustain drives

1418
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: and put points on the board.

1419
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean that is that's twenty percent third down conversion.

1420
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 3: That is failure. I mean that is brutal. The first

1421
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 3: third down, third and two, they pick up five yards.

1422
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 3: That's the one they made that you described lance. The second,

1423
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 3: third down, third and four, they get sacked for fifteen yard. Sacked.

1424
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 3: Joe's running around back there trying to create an extent

1425
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 3: and losing yardage.

1426
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 2: And took took him out of field goal.

1427
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean that was a big mistake right there.

1428
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 3: You know, throw it away, throw it away, take the incompletion.

1429
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 3: You know, at least you can have them McPherson lineup

1430
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 3: and kick a long field goal for you. Third third down,

1431
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 3: third and four, they pick up two, So now it's

1432
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 3: fourth and two. The next third down, third and five, interception.

1433
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 3: Third and nine they pick up seven. Now it's fourth

1434
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 3: and two. They had a third and nineteen. Third and

1435
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 3: nineteen and try to throw the football obviously, and it's incomplete.

1436
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,959
Speaker 3: Third and four, throw the football incomplete. Third and one

1437
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 3: they run the ball and they pick it up two yards. Okay,

1438
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 3: first down, how about that? Hall Lujah, Praise the Lord.

1439
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 3: The next one, third and eight failed, they run the football,

1440
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 3: excuse me, throw the football? They pick up two yards.

1441
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 3: Next one, third and one fail, run it, gain nothing, zilch,

1442
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 3: not a squash douche on number eleven, Third and six incomplete,

1443
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 3: pass number twelve, goal to go first in goal. This

1444
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 3: is the pick six. That's the basically basically close the

1445
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 3: game out. Say you know, it's history, Katie, bar the door.

1446
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 3: Third and one, they pick it up, they run the

1447
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 3: ball for six yards. How about that one, that's big.

1448
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 3: Third and seven incomplete or excuse me, run the football,

1449
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 3: don't make it and only pick up three and the

1450
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 3: final one, third and six they throw the football, only

1451
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 3: pick up five yards, and they have a fourth and one.

1452
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 3: I mean that is third down inefficiency at its past.

1453
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's really it's really a sad, sad

1454
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 3: commentary going through that list.

1455
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 2: That means on the day, the fifteen third down opportunities,

1456
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 2: they did not convert one that was beyond a third

1457
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 2: and two. Think about that for a second. They on

1458
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 2: third and four to five yards they went oh for four.

1459
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 2: On third and six or more they went oh for seven.

1460
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 2: They converted nothing that was longer than third and two

1461
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 2: the entire afternoon. I don't even know how that's possible.

1462
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's face it, I mean, third and four,

1463
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 3: third and five, you're gonna have to convert some of those.

1464
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 2: Yep.

1465
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 3: It's the National Football League. I mean, you know, defenses

1466
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 3: get paid to play too. They're gonna You're gonna find

1467
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 3: yourself in third and four. You got to make plays,

1468
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 3: you have to convert. Uh. It just yesterday was a

1469
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 3: nightmare in every sense of the word.

1470
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 2: And the deeper you get, the more yards you need,

1471
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 2: the more you're gonna have to try to try to

1472
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 2: maybe force something, and it leads to the interception or

1473
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 2: leads to a pick. It's just nothing, nothing good happen.

1474
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 2: It's like nothing good happens staying out after midnight. Nothing

1475
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: good happens on third and long. Usually good analogy, too

1476
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 2: many bad days. Good analogy, take a time out and continue.

1477
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 2: We'll head down the stretch at our second of three

1478
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 2: big hours tonight. It's Bengals on the Bengals Radio Network

1479
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 2: in seven hundred w l W down the stretch we go,

1480
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 2: final segment of our second of three hours tonight, Bengals

1481
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,640
Speaker 2: line of the Bengals Radio Network. Time to squeeze in

1482
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 2: something from outside the Bengals realm of things, and it's

1483
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: what has everybody buzzing around the NFL. Philip Rivers Returns

1484
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 2: at the age of forty four. He starts for the

1485
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 2: Colts yesterday, his first game in an NFL game in

1486
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 2: over eighteen hundred days, going back to twenty twenty. He

1487
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 2: led the Colts to a go ahead field goal, a

1488
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 2: sixty yarder with less than a minute to go, but

1489
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 2: then Seattle marches right back down the field and kicks

1490
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 2: a fifty six yarder to win it. But Dave still

1491
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,799
Speaker 2: hard to process that. At age forty four, Philip Rivers

1492
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 2: Returns goes eighteen to twenty six, one hundred and twenty yards,

1493
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: threw a touchdown a pick on the final play, kind

1494
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 2: of a desperation pass, but man when he threw the

1495
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 2: touchdown and he turned and pumped his fist and just

1496
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 2: I've thought about it all week. Forty four years old

1497
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 2: and he came back and started. Just wasn't the backup

1498
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,759
Speaker 2: he started an NFL game yesterday?

1499
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 3: Incredible, it really is. And uh, you know he was

1500
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 3: coaching in high school football and his high school team

1501
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 3: was watching the game as so cool. The kids, Oh,

1502
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 3: they went crazy. I mean they almost did. Jumped through

1503
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 3: the roof. I mean they were they were vertical, man,

1504
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 3: they were skying, and uh, it's just it's an unbelievable, uh,

1505
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 3: unbelievable accomplishment for phil Philip Rivers to be able to

1506
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 3: do that. Now was what kind of football shape was

1507
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 3: he in? Obviously he was able to throw the football,

1508
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 3: probably has uh some tonnage to drop and there's no

1509
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:32,720
Speaker 3: question about that way.

1510
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 2: And how I must feel this morning, Oh gosh, yeah,

1511
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 2: really the first time.

1512
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And That's what I was going to say about.

1513
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 3: If I'm an offensive lineman and Philip Rivers agrees to

1514
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 3: come back at the age of forty four to help

1515
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 3: us win football games, I'm protecting him with everything that

1516
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 3: I've got, every inch of my life, man, I am.

1517
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: I am.

1518
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 3: If Philip Rivers gets hit and I'm responsible for it.

1519
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 3: It's my guy, my my responsibility that put a lock

1520
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 3: on Philip Rivers. I'd have a hard time going back

1521
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 3: to back to the huddle and looking at us, you know,

1522
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 3: and making eye contact. Have been filing my bad. I'm sorry, man.

1523
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 3: You know it won't happen again. That is that's that's

1524
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 3: a tremendous NFL story.

1525
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 2: And I always I look for context and perspective. When

1526
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 2: I thought of this, it blew me away. Philip Rivers

1527
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: was taken fourth overall in the two thousand and four drafts.

1528
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 2: How long ago was that The Bengals first round pick

1529
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: that year was Chris Perry. I'll think about that, the

1530
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 2: Michigan running back. That's how long ago Philip Rivers was drafted.

1531
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 2: The look on Yid's face says it all. Yes, two

1532
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 2: thousand and four, Chris Perry, the Bengals, and Philip Rivers

1533
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,639

01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 2: And the final note to end the hour, the sad

1537

Speaker 2: news out of Kansas City, man Patrick Mahomes tears acl

1538

Speaker 2: into next season. What an and the Chiefs get eliminated yesterday?

1540
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 2: What What a weird dynamic in the NFL to think

1541
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 2: that the Bengals and Joe Burrow aren't going to be

1542
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes aren't going

1544
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,120

1573
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 2: that unfortunately eliminates the Bengals. Here is Zach at the

1574
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 2: podium meeting with the media after the game.

1575
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 4: You know, I think we had five trips, you know,

1576
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 4: to their side of the field and came by with

1577
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 4: no points. And just again that's as a point caller,

1578
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 4: that that starts with me. When you walk with no points,

1579
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 4: there's a huge amount of accountability that I got to

1580
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 4: take for that, but it was just an overall very

1581
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 4: frustrating day. I think we did some things that were

1582
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 4: very unorthodox on offense for us, you know, just penalties,

1583
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 4: silly penalties that were controllable on our end, you know,

1584
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 4: in some possessions where we had opportunites at points and

1585
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 4: didn't walk away with anything. I was was frustrating.

1586
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 9: What are your thoughts on that team's effort.

1587
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 5: Well, I thought, defensively, I saw some really good things.

1588
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 4: I mean, they pressured him, he didn't have a lot

1589
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 4: of time in the pocket with three or four sacks,

1590
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 4: got a turnover, had an opportunity, had another one. I know,

1591
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 4: they got in a zero beater, you know, where were

1592
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 4: something we practiced, we were ready for it, and they

1593
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 4: still got us for a touchdown. So there was some

1594
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 4: held them three points in the second half. You know,

1595
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 4: this was if my memory serves correctly, So there was

1596
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 4: some some effort, you know. That's I didn't see it

1597
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 4: lack of effort. I just saw a lack of attention

1598
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 4: to detail. Maybe on offense that really showed up. That

1599
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 4: was that was disappointing for.

1600
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 16: The reason for so many drop today and how big

1601
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 16: were those drops?

1602
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was everything you know, it wasn't just drops,

1603
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 4: it was it was I think everybody involved in the offense.

1604
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 5: Has got to got to own up to that performance today.

1605
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 7: Zach Jill had a kind of a unique down demeter

1606
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,719
Speaker 7: on Wednesday. Did you notice anything different from him this week?

1607
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 18: You had a lot of condition after Pittsburgh that you

1608
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 18: guys are going to be in this until the very end.

1609
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 7: Is it stunning the fact that you're sitting here three

1610
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 7: weeks ago.

1611
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 4: And it's yeah, I think it's it's frustrating to to

1612
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 4: score zero points get shut out at home. That's that's unacceptable.

1613
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 4: Never a million year is what I've seen that coming,

1614
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 4: you know, But that's that's what happened today. So now

1615
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 4: we've got to look at why that happened, and we've

1616
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 4: got to accountable for it and and keep moving forward.

1617
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 10: Zach, why do you think you in your group of coaches, administration,

1618
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 10: top to bottom are the right group?

1619
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 5: Yeah? I believe in everybody. I believe and every do

1620
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 5: we got.

1621
01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 16: You're down seventeen to nothing. I believe that drive the

1622
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 16: day ended in the pick six took like eight minutes.

1623
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 16: Anything you guys could have done there to try to speed.

1624
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 4: That up, we had some personnel issues, certainly with some

1625
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 4: injuries that we were trying to balance there. Moments we

1626
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 4: went tempo, moments we decided huddle and try to make

1627
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 4: sure we got points.

1628
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 5: On the board. The playoff contention sw.

1629
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's frustrating. This is a team that I thought

1630
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 4: was a talented team. There's gonna have a chance to

1631
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 4: do big things this year.

1632
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 5: Very similar. Joe was Joe sharp in practice rightily? Yes,

1633
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 5: how do you feel like it?

1634
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 4: I'll let him speak to that, but I know that

1635
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 4: there's some place that he's going to want to come back.

1636
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 7: Two weeks ago.

1637
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 21: You know, you guys were able to do anything at

1638
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 21: will really against Baltimore on Thanksgiving today?

1639
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 7: Did anything surprise you that they I wouldn't say that.

1640
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 4: I would say, you know it, maybe it looked easier

1641
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 4: than it really was. You know, our defense is five turnovers,

1642
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 4: five to nothing. Early on, we kicked a field goals

1643
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 4: in that game when when you'd like to come away

1644
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 4: with teschdowns, they made it really hard. So we knew

1645
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 4: that that wasn't People were going to say that. You

1646
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,560
Speaker 4: know that we won how we won, and that was

1647
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 4: easy for us. It wasn't as far from easy you know,

1648
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 4: we scored on two third downs in that game, touchdowns,

1649
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 4: So we knew that this game was going to be

1650
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 4: very difficult, and we put a lot of time and

1651
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 4: effort to the plan and the practice, and I got

1652
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 4: to today.

1653
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,679
Speaker 5: Film feeling really good about where we're at.

1654
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 4: And again, we just I'm not going to say that

1655
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 4: there was a single area, particularly an offense, that we're

1656
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 4: going to say that was that was nearly good enough.

1657
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 4: It wasn't even close to good enough anywhere, starting with me,

1658
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 4: and so that that part was frustrating.

1659
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 10: Why is complimentary football being difficult for this team to

1660
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 10: find the season?

1661
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's the hard one for me to answer.

1662
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 4: It hasn't been good Enough's what's the where you'll go

1663
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 4: from here? Three games out with way to win? Just

1664
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 4: just approach every single week as if we're still in it.

1665
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,640
Speaker 4: So get something to play for and that's our responsibility

1666
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 4: and that's what we're going to continue to do.

1667
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 12: Aside from this overall, leans, what would you like to

1668
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 12: see the most as you finished off the season?

1669
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 5: Wins would be there? The one thing what did you.

1670
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 9: See from guys this week? Obviously as the playoff hom

1671
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,480
Speaker 9: was coming in, it was a big game at home.

1672
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was important to everybody.

1673
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 4: I didn't see anything, and again this is you told

1674
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 4: me our defense is gonna sack them as many times

1675
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 4: and harass them in the pocket.

1676
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:16,959
Speaker 5: And create a turnover and holding three points.

1677
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 4: In the second half. I'd sign up for that, you know.

1678
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 4: So again, just just wholesale as a team, we weren't

1679
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 4: good enough to do.

1680
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 10: Are going to want to obviously see some changes over

1681
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 10: the next three weeks or.

1682
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 5: So, giving them to vote for twenty twenty six. What

1683
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 5: is your message to the fans?

1684
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 4: Just hang with us. It's been frustrating. We're still portant

1685
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 4: our heart and soul to this thing and find a

1686
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 4: way to win. And it's it's been a frustrating season.

1687
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 4: Understand that.

1688
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 6: Just a follow up on that. I know you're just

1689
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 6: looking at this game, but looking big picture of three

1690
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 6: years of not making the playoffs. What would you like

1691
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 6: to say to the fans that give them a vote

1692
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 6: of confidence that you guys can get this right and

1693
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 6: they won't be feeling like this.

1694
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1695
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 5: I've got great confidence. I mean, we come to work

1696
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 5: every single day.

1697
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 4: I believe in the guys we got in this locker room,

1698
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 4: coaches and players and frustrating.

1699
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 5: Frustrating season so far. We still got a couple of

1700
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 5: games left.

1701
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 4: Zachlow session tough that we just ended in a pick six,

1702
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 4: didn't get Flaco any time to warm up, and zero

1703
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 4: degree temperature basically, so try to manage it. Just hand

1704
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 4: the ball off their quick game things that would keep

1705
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 4: them out of harm way.

1706
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 5: Obviously tough spot to be in.

1707
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 4: I say, if it was anything other than zero degrees,

1708
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 4: we probably would have quickly made the change and forego

1709
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 4: them warm up. But again, just tried to as we

1710
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 4: called it, kept them out of harm's way with just

1711
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 4: any throw we made the boss coming out quick.

1712
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 21: Now that they are officially eliminated, how do you keep

1713
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 21: players heads in it for the last three weeks to

1714
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 21: keep going every day.

1715
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 4: They're professionals, you know, And that's that's why you build

1716
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 4: the locker room the way you do it, so that

1717
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 4: you don't have to worry about guys like that. You know,

1718
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 4: guys that they know how important this is not only

1719
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 4: for themselves in their career, but for all the work

1720
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 4: this team has put in and through good times and bad,

1721
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 4: go out there and put your best for four And

1722
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 4: I absolutely trust that these guys will do that.

1723
01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor on the loss yesterday and what it means

1724
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 2: going forward in the question, everybody's wondering, how what does

1725
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 2: it mean the final three? What do you do with

1726
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 2: the final three? I would think there's a lot of

1727
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 2: guys in this roster who should be thinking, I need

1728
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 2: to put something productive, and iye popping on this tape.

1729
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 2: In my best interest, I better show them something in

1730
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 2: the three games left.

1731
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 3: Bingo Lance, Absolutely, I mean I hope these players are

1732
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 3: thinking along the lines that you are right now, Miami, Arizona, Cleveland.

1733
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 3: Three more opportunities to show your stuff. And you know,

1734
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,759
Speaker 3: I guess everybody, all the fans and coaches too, could say,

1735
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 3: what's taking you so long? Why did you wait for

1736
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 3: three games left in the season to show what you're

1737
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 3: capable of? You know, you get paid all season long

1738
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 3: to give us your best performance. Why haven't you given

1739
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 3: us your best performance? Why haven't you prepared yourself on

1740
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 3: a weekly basis to give us your best performance? But

1741
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 3: better late than never, I guess, so you better to

1742
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 3: show up. If you don't show up, we're gonna move on.

1743
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

1744
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 3: You know we can play football in National Football League

1745
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 3: without you. You know you're not. You're not a multiple

1746
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 3: time Pro Bowl You're not. You're not a guy that

1747
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 3: we're hanging our hat on and have to have. So

1748
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,839
Speaker 3: I'm telling you these last three weeks gonna be important

1749
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 3: for a lot of a lot of young players, not

1750
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 3: just with the Bengals, with everybody in the league.

1751
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:22,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, as you were saying that, the words of Marvin

1752
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 2: Lewis resonate in my head. Do your job be a pro?

1753
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 2: And man, if i'm whether it's coaches on this staff

1754
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 2: or I'm coaches or front office on another team, maybe

1755
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 2: there's a Bengal who's a free agent potentially, I know,

1756
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 2: darn well. If I'm evaluating a Bengal, I'm going back

1757
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 2: and looking at these final three games to see how

1758
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 2: did they play when the season was over. Did they

1759
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 2: pack it in, did they have the car running to

1760
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 2: warm up the car for the offseason? How did they

1761
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 2: look when when they didn't maybe have the the incentive

1762
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 2: of a playoff chasing them? Because that's an evaluation point

1763
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 2: for me. If I'm looking at players, how do they

1764
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 2: play these last three weeks?

1765
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? Because not every team in the NFL is going

1766
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs. Yeah, you know, there's gonna be

1767
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 3: some teams that aren't. And if you're on that football team,

1768
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 3: you're expected to still give effort. I mean, they're selling

1769
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 3: tickets to the games, they're taking fans money, uh to

1770
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,759
Speaker 3: to watch you play football. Give them a fair shake.

1771
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:21,639
Speaker 3: Go out there and and and play like you can play.

1772
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 3: You know, I'm wondering too. Sometimes you know a guy

1773
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 3: doesn't play well at an organization because you know there's

1774
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 3: they're what they've decided to do offensively or defensively didn't

1775
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 3: necessarily fit that skill set that player has. Maybe another

1776
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: team in the league has uh some sort of a

1777
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 3: defensive or offensive schematic that fits better. You better show

1778
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 3: up and play and show that you could benefit by

1779
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 3: them taking you on that football team. You know, uh,

1780
01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 3: keep your keep your career alive. It's a lot of money, man,

1781
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 3: a lot of money's at stake.

1782
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: Still ahead. More from Jill Burrow on yesterday, and the

01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,240

1793
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: rough day. Here is Joe Burrow.

1794
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 7: Joe, today was the offense.

1795
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 5: Other games it's been the defense.

1796
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 13: Why has complimentary football been so hard for this team

1797
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 13: to find this year?

1798
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:50,919
Speaker 7: We haven't been a good football team. You know bad football.

1799
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 7: Bad football teams do losing things, and.

1800
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 8: You know, if you're wanting to compete for championships and

1801
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 8: in the playoffs, then.

1802
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 7: Number one, your quarterback has to play better than I

1803
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 7: did today. How far does that gap feel right now?

1804
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 8: Chill between this team and what's expected of the championship level.

1805
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 7: Not that far, not that far.

1806
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 5: This is the worst you felt after loss.

1807
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 7: Probably losing losing socks.

1808
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,679
Speaker 6: I know you're taking a lot of responsibility for today's game,

1809
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 6: but one of the main things that has come out

1810
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 6: of this season is how much is on your plate

1811
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 6: and the record when you were out when you were

1812
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 6: out and last week's perfect example the turnovers, you guys

1813
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 6: lose the game. Do you feel like there's too much

1814
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 6: weight on you where it feels like if you're not perfect,

1815
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 6: the team is good enough around you to pick you up.

1816
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 7: You know, I want everything on my plate.

1817
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 8: I want That's a position I want to be in,

1818
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:01,759
Speaker 8: and you know, I feel confident all those guys locker room,

1819
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 8: Like I said today, nobody there's not a team in

1820
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:07,799
Speaker 8: the NFL that would have won.

1821
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 7: The game today if if I was the quarterbacks.

1822
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 10: Teams record is headed in the wrong direction. Do you

1823
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 10: think your play is slipping down the slope in the

1824
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,600
Speaker 10: wrong direction over the last couple of years?

1825
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 8: You know, I feel very confident in how I played

1826
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 8: obviously today in my opinion, is an outliar. I think

1827
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 8: I've been consistently great for.

1828
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,719
Speaker 7: Years and years and years. Did they change up its

1829
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 7: all from thanks Giving? The really different that way? Maybe

1830
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 7: don't think it's giving.

1831
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 8: I said they blitzed, They blitzed less. Their front four

1832
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 8: was able to get a little more pressure, So credit

1833
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 8: to them.

1834
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 12: What kind of on that first act the fifty yard

1835
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 12: on the third down going there in what kind of

1836
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 12: happened there?

1837
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,679
Speaker 5: Ye, Is it the same thing on the pick six?

1838
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 3: Is that kind of it?

1839
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 12: It looks like it was a similar pressure that they

1840
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 12: had on the gap.

1841
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 2: Was that the same or now I have.

1842
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 7: To see the film on that one.

1843
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 12: We'll see what This is the hardest I think you've

1844
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 12: ever been on yourself after a game.

1845
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 8: Why even I think this is one of the worst

1846
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 8: games that I've I've played.

1847
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 7: You know, I'm honest with myself.

1848
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 8: And my play, and I hold myself to high standard

1849
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 8: and today didn't come close.

1850
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 21: Joe, with playoffs off the table as a competitor, how

1851
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 21: tough will it be now to read mindset and kind

1852
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 21: of get yourself back into winding win again?

1853
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 9: You mentioned the mental mistake on the sack when you

1854
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 9: guys the first draft of the game was that.

1855
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 7: I made the wrong call.

1856
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 2: Joe after the game and Dave, we were talking earlier

1857
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 2: about Joe addressing the team, and in a comment from

1858
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 2: Jordan's Battles jumped out to me Jordan's set up, Joe.

1859
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 2: What Joe said after the game resonates with us. That

1860
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 2: should determine our attitude going into these next few games

1861
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 2: and for the rest of the season. It sends a

1862
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 2: huge message. It shows who he is as a person.

1863
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,639
Speaker 2: Maybe he can come off as arrogant to people who

1864
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 2: don't know him, He's really one of the most humble

1865
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 2: guys I've ever met, especially with the status he has

1866
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 2: and the player he is. When he speaks up to

1867
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 2: the team, we hear it and it's like that old E. F.

1868
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 2: Hutton commercial Weddingy Hutton, people listen, that's Joe Burrow.

1869
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, he is the unquestioned leader of the

1870
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 3: football team, and in most instances, the quarterback usually is.

1871
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 3: There are some rare exceptions to the rule, but there

1872
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 3: aren't that many. And as the quarterback goes, so the

1873
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 3: team goes. You know, if the quarterback has got something

1874
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 3: going on off the football field that is affecting him,

1875
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 3: the whole team feels it. Joe Burrow said he does

1876
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 3: have some personal issues that he's dealing with and it's

1877
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 3: not related to the football team, not related to the

1878
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals organization, and he's working his way through it.

1879
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 3: All I can say is having been part of this

1880
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 3: organization for ten years as a player. In forty in

1881
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 3: the broadcast booth, two guys that come to mind, Boomer

1882
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 3: Sison leader, Boomer Sison, when things weren't going well, he

1883
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 3: grabbed the team by the collective throat and said, hey,

1884
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 3: let this is unacceptable. This, this just isn't gonna happen.

1885
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 3: We're not gonna We're not gonna tank our season like this.

1886
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 3: Kenny Anderson same way. Kenny would be very very honest

1887
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 3: in his in his comments and addressing the football team.

1888
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 3: And these guys obviously play at a high level, their

1889
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl players. You know, guys emulate, want to emulate

1890
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 3: what they are and how important they are the community

1891
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,640
Speaker 3: and the football team. And they're listening. They listen to

1892
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 3: those guys. So, like you said, Ef Hutton, when when

1893
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 3: Boomer Sison or when Kenny Anderson speaks, people perk up

1894
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 3: and people listen.

1895
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 2: And if there was one player on this team, if

1896
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 2: you were asking me to bet on how somebody respawns,

1897
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 2: I would place my chip on Joe Burrow. Probably not

1898
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 2: sleeping much last night, probably seething a little bit. Yeah,

1899
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 2: your classics see the game unful on your on your

1900
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 2: bedroom ceiling. Yeah, because when when Joe says publicly it

1901
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 2: was a mental mistake by me, that's the stuff that

1902
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 2: just has to grade at him and drive him to

1903
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 2: next week. What would it really surprise anybody if Joe

1904
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 2: next week went out and dropped like a twenty seven

1905
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 2: of thirty one for three hundred and ninety six yards,

1906
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 2: four touchdowns, no interceptions. It would not.

1907
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 3: Wouldn't surprise on your lick, It really wouldn't. I mean,

1908
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 3: I think, you know the great ones, that's the that's

1909
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 3: how they respond, That's how they respond to adversity. Uh,

1910
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 3: they respond by going out and having one of the

1911
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 3: best games of their of their career. And Joe Burrow

1912
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 3: is a great one. You know, Joe Burrow is a

1913
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer. He's uh, he's one of one.

1914
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:54,680
Speaker 3: They broke the mold and uh, you know he's I

1915
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 3: think he's got the last three football games of the season.

1916
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna put up stupid numbers. I think

1917
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 3: people are gonna be like, what are you kidding me?

1918
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 3: What did he do to close the season out? I

1919
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:06,519
Speaker 3: think he's capable and I think he'll do it.

1920
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 2: All Right, we're rolling through this third hour. We'll do

01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 24: Oh man, the thing I did the most was just

1946
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 24: play football, went to school, and then you don't hung

1947
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,679
Speaker 24: out with friends. That was really just the most part.

1948
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 24: And you know, I was kind of kind of a

1949
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 24: country boy at that time too. You know, it was

1950
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 24: Maynor back back in high school. It was a kind

1951
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 24: of a little suburb. Now it's a lot of a

1952
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 24: lot of things growing out there, so but it was

1953
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 24: more country when I was out there, when I was

1954
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,200
Speaker 24: growing up and stuff, So it was fun.

1955
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 13: I read somewhere that you rode horses growing up. Was

1956
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:52,519
Speaker 13: that the case? And it's still the case.

1957
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 24: It's a little bit kind of the case now, but

1958
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 24: I try to get not too much. But yeah, I

1959
01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 24: grew up. I rode a little bit of horses. It

1960
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 24: was just when I was little. My aunt shout out

1961
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 24: to her. She kind of, you know, just instilled in

1962
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 24: me just just to do it for fun. And it's

1963
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:09,160
Speaker 24: been it's been great ever since. But it's crazy.

1964
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 11: It's just I kind of had like a little reaction.

1965
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:13,799
Speaker 24: To like one of like the horse little blanket sheets,

1966
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 24: and you know, I always I loved animals when I

1967
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 24: was little. I want to be like a vision I

1968
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 24: guess a vegetarian, not a vegetarian veninarian, Excuse me. It

1969
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 24: was just I love watching like the incredible Doctor Poe

1970
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 24: shows and things like that, so I just want to

1971
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:28,640
Speaker 24: see like just the way of living over horse and

1972
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 24: things like that. But it was that's just something that

1973
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 24: I cherished the most when I was growing up.

1974
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 13: Tys. You had an exceptional high school football career, running

1975
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 13: for more than four thousand yards. When did it start

1976
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 13: to become clear that the other kids either couldn't catch

1977
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:43,680
Speaker 13: you or tackle you?

1978
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 24: Really, I want to say a little league? And then

1979
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,599
Speaker 24: going into my ninth grade year, that was my first year.

1980
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 24: I was a fresh ninth grade and you really don't

1981
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 24: see that happening in a lot of places and that

1982
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 24: kind of jectory of football. And I'm very thankful for

1983
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 24: the coach that that gave me the opportunity.

1984
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 13: Mayner isn't far from the University of Texas. I've read

1985
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 13: that the Longhorns did not recruit you. Was that the case,

1986
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 13: and if so, was it disappointing?

1987
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 24: It wasn't disappointing, But they recruited me a little bit.

1988
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 24: They kind of wanted me. It was back in twenty yeah,

1989
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,559

1995
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,439

01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 24: I talked to Zach, I talked to Jay Hill, and

2064
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 24: then shoot, after that, it was it was ready to work.

2065
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:13,400

2069
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:27,360
Speaker 13: This was a crazy deep draft for running backs. I'm

2070
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,599
Speaker 13: thinking in a normal year you would have gone several

2071
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 13: rounds earlier. How did that affect you?

2072
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 11: I really didn't. Uh, it really didn't affect me.

2073
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,719
Speaker 24: I have I have a great team, great agent within

2074
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 24: that well and things like that.

2075
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 11: So they kept me. Uh he kept me, truly honest.

2076
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 24: He's like, man, I feel like you were one of

2077
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 24: the top backs in this class, and you know your

2078
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,000
Speaker 24: film proves it. You can take and catch the ball

2079
01:36:48,040 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 24: great out the backfield, and you know run the ball.

2080
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 24: That's nothing, and Whitey can't question me question you about that.

2081
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 24: So man, that's just it was deep, but I feel

2082
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,320
Speaker 24: like I separated myself just off pass protection and then

2083
01:36:58,360 --> 01:36:58,960
Speaker 24: catching the ball.

2084
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 11: Where we're at the field.

2085
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 13: Were the guys draft before you? Where you said yourself, Man,

2086
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 13: that guy is good, but I know I'm better than

2087
01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 13: he is.

2088
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 24: For sure, you know, just the competitor in me just

2089
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 24: saying that, and then just you know, on draft day

2090
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 24: I kind of wrote and thought about every guy that

2091
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,360
Speaker 24: went before me, so not saying when we played him,

2092
01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:17,320
Speaker 24: I I just wanna, you know, be the whenever I

2093
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 24: get my.

2094

Speaker 11: Opportunity to be the best back on the field and

2095
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:20,840
Speaker 11: things like that. So I just can't wait for that

2096
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 11: to happen.

2097
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,280

01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 24: they're gonna always support you. And I always want to

2142
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 24: give my support back to to my high schools and

2143
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 24: things like that.

2144
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,000
Speaker 13: We know you're a good running back, we know you're

2145
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 13: a good student. You rode horses as a kid. But

2146
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:15,840
Speaker 13: where do you allow to at?

2147
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:16,360
Speaker 17: Uh?

2148
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 11: To be honest, I'm not a good singer. I will

2149
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:20,320
Speaker 11: not I sing.

2150
01:39:20,479 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 24: I sing to myself sometimes, but it's just myself and

2151
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 24: probably my girlfriend.

2152
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 11: But besides that, I'm not a great singer at all.

2153
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 11: That's probably the one.

2154
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,280
Speaker 13: What do you like to splur? John Man?

2155
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 24: I don't know because I haven't. Man, I'm not I'm

2156
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 24: a big I'm not a big spender. It's just it

2157
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 24: depends like I kind of left my big spending probably

2158
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 24: in my college days, but now it's just more of

2159
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 24: just I don't know, man, it's I don't really splares

2160
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 24: a lot. Second contract, probably buy a home back home,

2161
01:39:50,200 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 24: you know, buy a home, get something set up off

2162
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 24: of the off season, and you know, get something going

2163
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 24: with the off season, things like that.

2164
01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 11: So just buy a home and things like that.

2165
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 13: All right. Final fun fact for Taj Brooks. This one's

2166
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 13: a little bit deep. If you could meet anybody in history,

2167
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 13: living or deceased, who would that person be?

2168
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,639
Speaker 24: I want to say one is Nipsey Hustle. Nipsey Hustle,

2169
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:13,800
Speaker 24: excuse me, just the way how powerful he is with

2170
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 24: his voice and the way he carried on his life

2171
01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 24: and his legacy. And then two probably my brother Charlie Man.

2172
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,679
Speaker 24: Just to talk to him, see how he doing up there.

2173
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 24: He passed away in twenty nineteen during a gun violence accident,

2174
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 24: So just meet him and just top it up with him.

2175
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 11: That would probably be my two. Like most coming back

2176
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 11: and just topping it up, So that probably be my

2177
01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 11: things right there.

2178
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 13: Taj, appreciate your time, best off like the rest of

2179
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 13: the year.

2180
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, thank you, Taj Brooks. This week in the

Speaker 2: Bengals Booth Podcast. Check it out where you get your podcast.

2183
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 2: And you know, we were talking earlier about the final

2184
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 2: three games and opportunities. Taj Brooks had four kick returns yesterday.

2185
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,040
Speaker 2: We don't we hope Samaj p Ryan's okay this week

2186
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 2: after he was dinged up. But any opportunity for somebody

2187
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:01,600
Speaker 2: like a time Brooks, whether it's kick returns or a

2188
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 2: couple of carries, that's important for him over the final

2189
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 2: three games of the season.

2190
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 3: It is it is. You know, you're there's always a

2191
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 3: valuation going on, you know, and in position coaches are

2192
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,679
Speaker 3: taking a look at their players and okay, are they

2193
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:18,600
Speaker 3: are they? Is there a play worthy of getting more opportunity?

2194
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 3: Should we give them more snaps?

2195
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 2: Now?

2196
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 3: They are only three games left. But if if he

2197
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 3: were to say, you know, uh, light it up against

2198
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,679
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins and give him more opportunity, see see

2199
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:32,559
Speaker 3: what he does. See see how he he handles maybe

2200
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,080
Speaker 3: a little bit more burden of responsibility against Arizona and Cleveland,

2201
01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 3: to see how he responds.

2202
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 2: Still ahead, those Miami Dolphins will put them in the

2203
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 2: spotlight as we head down the stretch. Bengals Line, Bengals

Speaker 2: Next up, those Miami Dolphins. They are six and seven.

2210
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 2: They're still in playoff contention. They are in action tonight

2211
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 2: against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. So a

2212
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:21,679
Speaker 2: short week for them in the turnaround against the Bengals.

2213
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 2: But the Dolphins are clinging to playoff hopes, desperate playoff hopes.

2214
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 2: They've won four straight. Their season had gotten sideways, but

2215
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:32,759
Speaker 2: then they reeled off a win over Buffalo thirty to thirteen.

2216
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 2: They beat the Commander sixteen thirteen, They beat the Saints

2217
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:38,439
Speaker 2: twenty one seventeen, and they beat up the Jets last

2218
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 2: week thirty four to ten. So four straight. They're playing football,

2219
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:45,760
Speaker 2: and they're playing good football, and they're in desperation mode

2220
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 2: right now.

2221
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 3: Tell you the turnaround game thirty thirteen over Buffalo. We

2222
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 3: know how good Buffalo can play. I mean Buffalo came

2223
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 3: in and I mean spanked us, really really did a number,

2224
01:42:57,680 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 3: did a job. That's a good football team. They have

2225
01:42:59,680 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 3: a hell a quarterback. They've got a lot of good

2226
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 3: football players in that organization. There's no question about it.

2227
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 3: So you know, don't fall don't sleep on the Miami Dolphins.

2228
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 3: The Miami Dolphins are capable of putting together, you know,

2229
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 3: a game that like where did that come from? McDaniel

2230
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 3: has done a great job because you know, other than

2231
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:20,040
Speaker 3: two of they don't have a whole lot of names.

2232
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 3: It's like, oh yeah, that guy, that guy, Oh wow.

2233
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,599
Speaker 3: I mean, they've got a lot of good, solid football

2234
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:30,040
Speaker 3: players that understand what what McDaniel wants to do and

2235
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 3: how he wants to get it done. And he's he's

2236
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 3: stocked him himself in the organization in that regard, and

2237
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:37,680
Speaker 3: they're playing well for him.

2238
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you better better tackle well eight chan they're

2239
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 2: they're running back is rushed for over eleven hundred yards,

2240
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:46,080
Speaker 2: he's averaging almost five point eight yards of carry's got

2241
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 2: seven touchdowns, so he'll be something on the ground. And yeah,

2242
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 2: they're they're they're getting right at the right time. And again,

2243
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 2: desperation drives a football team and they're certainly trying to okay,

2244
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 2: and the weather will be you mentioned the weather earlier.

2245
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 2: I looked at up up Uh, Saturday, the high is

2246
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 2: going to be in the neighborhood of eighty one degrees,

2247
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 2: maybe some early showers, but we're gonna go from ten

2248
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:12,879
Speaker 2: degrees yesterday to perhaps high seventies into the low eighties

2249
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:15,480
Speaker 2: on Sunday in Miami. Quite a contrast.

2250
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, quite, that's dramatic, man, it really is. I mean

2251
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:23,760
Speaker 3: that you go from bone chilling cold to like, hey,

2252
01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:26,759
Speaker 3: it's gonna be sweating freely. Man, there's no question.

2253
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 2: Uh, you know what, you know what I just thought

2254
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 2: of because everything goes back to the Freezer Bowl. It

2255
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 2: makes me think of when you guys played the Chargers

2256
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,599
Speaker 2: in the Freezer Bowl the week before they had beaten,

2257
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 2: of all things, Miami and the and that the game

2258
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 2: where Kellen Winslow is held off the field and he's

2259
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 2: dehydrated and was so hot, and then the next week

2260
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 2: goes welcome to the Freezer Bowl and Cincinnati.

2261
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah really, and uh, I guess I guess, Ah, maybe

2262
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 3: a gauge for how how different those weather conditions were.

2263
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 3: The Gatorade, the gatorade in Cincinnati was frozen. The gateor

2264
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 3: raade down down there in Miami was a little bit

2265
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 3: warm as you kind of swashed it around your mouth.

2266
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 2: Beautiful. I before coming in, I happened to look it

2267
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:12,719
Speaker 2: up and Bengals and Dolphins, And of course you played

2268
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 2: the Dolphins a number of times and played in the

2269
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 2: Orange Bowl. And I'm thinking of in your first year

2270
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 2: you had a Monday nighter there. But the coaches on

2271
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:23,679
Speaker 2: the sidelines. Just to think Don Shula and Paul Brown

2272
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:27,599
Speaker 2: really on the same field across from each other, that's

2273
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,639
Speaker 2: just iconic, Iman, that's football big time.

2274
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 3: Oh and remember Don Shula played for Paul Brown with

2275
01:45:33,960 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Brown He played in the secondary and Don

2276
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 3: Shula was a Paul Brown said, a very very intelligent

2277
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 3: football player. Boy, that's a shock, you know, a guy

2278
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,720
Speaker 3: that ends up going into coaching and accumulates all the

2279
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 3: wins that Don Shula accumulated. Man, there's no doubt that

2280
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 3: he was a smart football player as a player.

2281
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 2: Man. And I looked up and I'm sure these names

2282
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:58,839
Speaker 2: will ring a bell in your days of playing the Dolphins.

2283
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:04,400
Speaker 2: A Verned, Yes, Bona Khani, Bob Bombhauer and aj Dewey.

2284
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:06,400
Speaker 2: Guys like that. Oh, those are some names.

2285
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 3: Some names big time, no doubt. Aj Dewey out of it,

2286
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 3: out of LSU, Bob Bombhouer, Yeah, that that Kim Bokamper

2289
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 3: couldn't get under his pads. I mean that sucker would

01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 3: we would bring it went to Notre Dame and uh,
