A lot of 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:23.880 grand kids. So we only have two that were in 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.080 Cincinnati for Christmas. Now they're down south, they're in Florida, 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.720 and my other two up in Wisconsin. So it was 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.760 relatively quiet Christmas, but a lot of fun still. 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.520 All right, Well, we're looking forward to having a fun 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.440 day on Sunday, Yeah, we hope. As the Bengals host 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.959 the Arizona Cardinals two games left in the season. Unfortunately, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.520 know that they are not headed to the postseason this year, 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.520 but they would like to end the year with a 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.280 three game winning streak and more specifically, reward the fans 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.400 that have been coming out this year and win those 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.560 last two home games against a couple of teams of 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.240 lousy records, the three and twelve Cardinals and the three 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.320 and twelve Cleveland. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.560 It's amazing six and twenty four combined record of last 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.040 two opponents Cincinnati Bengals have in the twenty twenty five season. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.079 I agree with you, Dan, it's time to reward the 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.760 Bengal fans for coming out. They supported this football team 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.760 all year long. It had its ups and downs, more 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.320 downs than ups. Let's face it, you know, there were 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.880 more tough times to deal with Tuck then good times 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.040 to celebrate, and the fans still made it, still showed up. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.680 Bengal fans are unique, you know, they're special. They love 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.080 their football team, they love their organization, and it would 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.520 be nice to win these last two games, so that'd 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.880 be three wins in a row to build on twenty 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.520 twenty six. Go into the off season on an up 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.400 note and uptick and get ready for the twenty twenty 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.440 sixth season with a little bit of a foundation under you. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.080 Well, Bengals are coming up their most dominant performance of 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.760 the season last week on the road in Miami. Forty 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.400 five to twenty one was the final score. The offense 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.040 was great, the defense played extremely well, and the special 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.840 teams was on point as well. Let's specifically talk about 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.720 the offense one week before shutout at home by Baltimore. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.960 The next week, forty five points on the road against Miami, 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.000 and they really took their foot off the gas pedal 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.080 with about eleven and a half minutes to go in 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.080 that game. Once the outcome was basically determined that's the 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.600 most points they've ever scored with Joe Burrow at quarterback. 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.680 They've had quite a few games with forty or more, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.240 but they had never scored forty five in a game. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:37.320 Here is offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher when asked, did the 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:42.360 offense take that shutout personally? The week before against Baltimore? 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:51.440 It's a collection of really prideful people, hyper competitive, and 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.520 when you lose, it always pisses you off. And then 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.640 when it happened the way it happened the week prior, Yeah, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.960 I mean there's probably a little something extra there. There's 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.080 always something. You know, you always have fuel in this 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.760 league because you have to. You have to have it 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.200 every week or you're getting you're gonna get your buck kicked. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.120 But yeah, maybe helped a little bit. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.040 Lap you played pro football for twelve years. What was 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.279 it like the week after you guys stunk up the joint? 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:25.200 Like coach says, competitive people, uber competitive, and you know, 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.440 your personal pride takes a hit when you get when 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.840 you play like that offensively, when you the unit you're 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.440 responsible for scoring points gets squad dosh, goose, egg nada, 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.719 I mean, it's like there's nothing, there's no worse feeling 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.960 than that, and you basically you can't wait to make 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.200 a restitution. You know, you have a chance to the 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.719 very That's the great thing about the NFL. If you 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.120 lay an egg a one week, you can come back 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.840 and play very well the following week and kind of 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.240 make restitution for it a little bit. And BEng has 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.640 laid a big egg. Man that shoutout was tough to tolerate, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.840 tough to watch, but man to come back the next 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.839 week and put forty five points on the board shows 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.480 that they've got resiliency. You know, they've got some resolve 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.680 to them a little bit. They're not gonna They're not 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.359 gonna stay down. And I think I think that's the 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.279 thing that I'll remember most about this edition, the twenty 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.680 twenty five edition of the Cincinnati Bengals, is they didn't quit. 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.840 Did they play well? No, far from it. I mean 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:29.080 they weren't consistent enough. You have to you have to 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.760 be far more consistent than they were on a game 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.280 by game, snap by snap basis. There's no doubt about it. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:40.000 But when things weren't going well, they didn't, you know, 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.480 look at each other, get after each other, point fingers 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.080 at each other and all that sort of thing and 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:49.560 lay down for the opponent. They fought and they had 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.360 personal pride and they bounced back. So I think that's 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:54.760 something they can build on as well. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.039 You referenced the desire to end with a three game 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.000 winning streak and how that gives you a little more 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.680 momentum heading into the next season. It would give the 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.600 Bengals a seven and ten record at the end of 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.120 the year. That's unfortunately the best they can do, right, 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.160 But I asked Zach Taylor earlier today, all right, is 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.960 there really such a thing as momentum at the end 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.960 of a season like this or is it just a cliche. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.520 Here's what Zach had to say. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.400 It makes you feel better, you know. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.160 I don't know if that momentum carries over. I think 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.320 that's hard to say because you have a new team 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.440 every year, but you put in a lot of work 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.560 into this thing, and it's important to finish with a 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.039 good feeling. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:32.800 You know. 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.960 Obviously the feeling's not going to be overall good, but 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:38.760 just feel good to be in a locker roofer game 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.560 with the hard week's work and be able to reap 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.279 the benefits of that. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.400 So I get that. I mean, it's really hard to 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.880 say how much momentum they'll have, knowing there will be 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.800 changes on the roster, particularly on the defensive side of 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.479 the ball in all likelihood, but as hard as you 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.920 work in this sport, as much as you put your 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.200 body on the line, to end with a three game 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.000 winning streak does make you feel a ton better going 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:04.880 into the offseason. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.919 I agree. I agree that you know your point you're making. 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:13.320 Zach said the same thing. You know you take a pounding. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.320 I remember as a player at this at this point 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.720 of the season, you're beating up, even if you're not 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.200 injured as such, You're sore, you're tired, you're beating up 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.720 a little bit. So, uh sometimes it's tough to uh 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.120 muster the energy to have a good practice and go 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.200 out there and plays as best as you possibly can 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.320 in a football game. So again, I admire the fact 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.680 that these guys they have an affinity for each other, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.520 They care about each other, They want to win football 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.000 games for each other. It's all for one, one for 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.040 all kinds of things. And to take that to the 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.560 offensive line, I can remember, you know what it's like 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.280 when we had terrible seasons but started to play well. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.120 And you know, offensive lines like making a fist, you 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.200 curl the four fingers and you wrap the thumb and 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.240 it's involuntary. You don't think about it. When you start 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.960 playing well as an offensive line, that's what you do. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.840 Everything just falls into place. I mean, it's almost like magic. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.080 And you wonder why it took so long and where 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.120 was it when you were struggling as a football team. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:25.240 But that's the beauty of football and it can come 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.120 and it can go, and when you have it, you 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.360 most definitely don't want to lose it. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.920 So one of the big things that was emphasized going 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.480 into this season was the importance of getting off to 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.280 a fast start. Right the Bengals did. They started the 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.240 season two and oh so did the Cardinals. The Bengals 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.560 are five and ten after a two and o start. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.640 The Cardinals are three and twelve after a two and 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.280 o start. What do these two teams have in common, Well, 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.840 both of both of them lost their starting quarterback early 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.000 in the year. Joe Burrow got hurt in Week two. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.840 He was obviously out for a long time. Kyler Murray, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.280 who is the number one overall pick in the draft 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.760 one year before Joe Burrow is the number one overall 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.960 pick in the draft, got hurt in Week five and 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.920 his case season ending. So no big mystery. You lose 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.480 a guy with that kind of importance to your team, 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.840 it's probably not going to go well. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.920 Absolutely. I mean, the most important player in sports, not 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.199 just football, not just pro football, is the quarterback. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:25.600 You know, the. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.920 Quarterback is probably the highest paid position group in sports, 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.760 and individual quarterbacks of the highest paid players in sports. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:39.040 So when you lose your guy, it's it's very, very difficult, 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:44.839 and you don't change your offense necessarily, but you do 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.520 different things within the scope of that offense. I mean, 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:52.360 it's like if the quarterback that was replacing a starter, 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.760 a star starter like a Joe Burrow, was equal to 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.240 Joe Burrow physically, he probably you probably get some reps, 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.520 you get some playing time, keep from sharp. It's not 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.720 the case. That's rarely the case in the National Football 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:10.720 started started for a reason. So but how about that 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.760 the Bengals are five and ten, Arizona's three and twelve, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.880 five and twenty two, five and twenty two. That right there, alone, 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.120 in my mind, you know, is a great example. I mean, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.800 it's just it puts a stamp on the importance of 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.280 quarterback playing the National Football League. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.600 You're listening to the Bengals pep Rally Show. We are 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.679 live today at the on the Rhine Eatery, the food 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.800 hall on the second floor above the downtown Kroger at 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.760 the intersection of Court and Walnut. We are here until 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.160 six o'clock tonight, and in the final hour of our show, 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.240 we'll have a very special guest. Lap, of course, is 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.520 the Bengals starting left guard in Super Bowl sixteen, and 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.040 we will have the current starting left guard joining us 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.079 in the final hour of our show, rookie Dellon Fairchild. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.640 He's having a very productive first. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.000 Year, certainly is Dan. You know, I think he's he's 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.839 going to be around for a while. I think he's 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:09.520 going to have a very very good professional career. Could 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.079 be like a double digit, you know, professional career, ten 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.920 or twelve year professional career. You never know about injuries 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.400 and god forbid, you know, knock on wood barring injury. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.560 He's got what it takes. I mean, he's got what 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.040 you need to be able to perform at a high 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.839 level in the National Football League. There's there's no question 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.600 about it. And he wants to be good, and he's coachable, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.559 and he listens to the coach and he applies to 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.760 fundamentals and techniques that they want him to do. He 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.360 played at Georgia, played well at Georgia, excelled at Georgia. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.600 He was an All American at Georgia. So this guy's 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.000 the real deal, all right. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.200 We're going to take a time out. This week's opponent 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.240 is the Arizona Cardinals. When we come back, we will 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:52.079 head to Arizona and get the inside scoop on the 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.880 three and twelve Sunday afternoon opponent. This is the Bengals 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.240 pep Rally Show presented by Just Bear, Chicken Life and 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.400 the On the Right Eater here in downtown Cincinnati on 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:11.760 ESPN fifteen thirty. Dan Ordon, Dave Lap I'm back on 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.800 the Bengals pep Rally Show presented by Jess Baird Chicken 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.960 Relive at the On the Rhine eatering in downtown Cincinnati. Today. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.240 Dylan Fairchild will be our special guest. He'll join us 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.839 in the final hour of our three hour show. Mike 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.000 mills Is and our engineer Drew Western Heidi back in 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.760 the studio. We're getting ready for the Bengals and the 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.000 Arizona Cardinals coming up on Sunday at one o'clock at 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.640 Pey Corpse Stadium. Time to get the inside scoop on 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.280 this week's opponent. To do that, we welcome in Theo Macki, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.280 who covers the Cardinals for the Arizona Republic THEOA. We 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.240 appreciate you joining us on the show. When you saw 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.720 Arizona at Cincinnati in late December, you probably figured you 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.000 were going to freeze when you came here this weekend. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.440 We are going to give you a sixty degree day 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.920 on Sunday. Are you prepared? 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:02.079 Yeah? 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.400 I was. I was not expecting a sixty degree day. 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.400 I was checking the weather this week and I was like, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.000 looky coat, do I need to bring my Parker or 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.040 my normal winter coat? 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:11.720 And it was like, no, you don't really. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.400 Need a coat at all. So that's not what I 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.079 was expecting. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.360 Hey, really, I mean this is this is not normal. 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.080 It's not typical. It's not the temperature that you have 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.120 this time of year normally here in Cincinnati. So we're 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.320 all very thankful. We're all very grateful. The Arizona Cardinals. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.920 I think the Cardinals are grateful for it. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:33.160 Too. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.040 I bet, I bet they are. The Cardinals are finishing 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.880 a tough season, to say the least, a three and 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.240 twelve record. The Bengals aren't much better at five and ten. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.800 But what do you think is the biggest reason that 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.000 the Arizona Cardinals fell to a three and twelve record 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:49.560 this season? 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.920 I mean, it's the number one thing. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.840 Is a familiar answer for so many teams that have 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.920 this level of a disappointing season, like you look at the. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.400 Lions being eliminated today. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.560 Well, health is a huge reason, and. 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.000 That's certainly the case in Arizona. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.439 They've got more games missed than any other team in 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.120 the league this year due to injury, but also underperformance 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.840 into trenches has been a huge reason. They've spent a 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.400 lot of resources for agency in the draft of their 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:22.320 defensive line, which is the least is on their offensive line, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.120 which is frankly quite bad. And when you're not good 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.880 in the trenches, you're not healthy, and you don't have 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.760 a stability at quarterbacks, you're probably not going to be 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.280 a very good team. So kind of starts with those areas. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.320 Theo Mackie from the Arizona Republic is our guest I'll 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.600 be honest, I really haven't watched a lot of the 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.520 Cardinals during the course of this season. When I so so, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.840 when I excuse me, started doing some homework earlier this week, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.240 I was surprised to see that the offense has actually 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.720 been better, at least statistically, after Kyle Murray went down 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.880 and Jacoby Brissett took over as the starting quarterback. Is 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.320 that accurate or is that just sometimes the numbers can 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.680 be deceiving. I would say it's. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:09.400 Been honestly about the same when when Jacoby first took over, 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.440 there was definitely an improvement, and I think Key Moore 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.320 so fits the way that they want to play like this. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.240 These are guys that came from their offensive coordinator, came 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.640 from a seven Kevin Stefanski system in Cleveland. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:25.800 Wants to be. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.840 Under center, wants to rely on the play action game, 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.840 and that doesn't work when your quarterback is five but ten. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.280 So it fit better when. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.240 Jacoby stepped in. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.040 But a lot of the production recently these past few 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.040 weeks has come. You know, in garbage time, they're down 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.800 by twenty five points in the second half and they're 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:44.880 putting up pick numbers. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.800 It's like, all right, what does that really mean. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.920 And how much of it can be attributed to that 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:52.720 and how much of it can just be all right, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.040 we're down big and teams that playing three event defense, 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.960 and it's easier to move the ball now, which which 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.400 I think is a large part of it. So the 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.000 offense looks different. I don't know that it necessarily looks better. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.240 Maybe a little bit more more cohesive. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.720 Down down, but less explosive. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:08.600 If that makes sense. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.800 Yeah, that does, It makes makes total sense. I would 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:16.120 think that the the common denominator for both of the 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.840 quarterbacks probably was lack of a consistent running game. Not 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.600 that the Cardinals didn't run the ball well at times. 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.920 They had games where they ran the ball very well, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.840 extremely efficient running the football, but the consistency of doing 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.040 it on a game by game basis is probably you know, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.520 the biggest reason for the record three and twelve? Is 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.600 that accurate? Or is that way off base one? 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.120 And that's kind of what I was talking about earlier 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.320 with the trenches. It's very hard, obviously with the running game, 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.320 to separate the running backs from the the offensive line 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.080 performance and the running backs. 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.960 It's certainly benefactor because James. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.880 Connor went down with the season ending injury and three 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:55.800 trade ns and went down with the season ending injury 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.400 the week after that. Like, they're starting running backs for 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.000 most of the season have been basically the squad guys, 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.200 so that's certainly part of it. I think if you 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.119 look at the advanced numbers, they're like last, and I 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.800 think the NFL does now like rush yards over expected, 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.240 which is based on how your offensive line blocks for you. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.199 I think their running backs are last or bottom five slightly, 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.560 so that's part of it. They're not getting pushed though 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.680 with their offensive line either. And last year, like the 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.720 Cardinals offense exceeded expectations and it was totally because of 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:23.200 the run game. 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.080 They were second in yards per carry. 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.480 Huh, and everything was kind of built off of that. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.000 We're chatting with Theo mackiew who covers the Cardinals for 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.840 the Arizona Republic. The Cardinals have recently added a running 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.240 back that we love here in Cincinnati. Corey Kiner, local 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.159 high school legend to Roger Bacon High School, had a 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.600 great career at the University of Cincinnati, with back to 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.920 back one thousand yard seasons each of the last two years. 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:51.720 I saw he got a decent number of carries last week. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.919 Would you anticipate that we will see a reasonable number 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.080 of rushes for Corey Kiner on Sunday. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:00.680 Yeah, honestly, I. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.040 Did not know that he was he was a Cincinnati guy. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.080 That that's very cool that he's going to have that 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.800 opportunity to play in front of family and friends. I'm sure, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.000 But yeah, I would expect, you know, maybe a driver 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.400 to spelling Michael Carter who should be the lead guy. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:16.760 So I think he had six carries last week. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.800 I think that's probably a reasonable number to expect. Again, 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.960 if he's in there for a driver too, obviously, you 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:23.800 know when that's your role. It depends if both those 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.760 drives are throwing out. He might only see one or 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.920 two carries, but should be kind of that change of 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:28.440 pace guy. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.399 The Bengals historically and franchise history, have had difficulty with 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:37.720 good tight ends, you know, controlling and corraling tight ends 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.840 that perform at a high level. Trey McBride is having 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.359 a phenomenal season. I mean, his his numbers are staggering. 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.960 He's putting up big, big numbers. But no matter who 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.760 the quarterback is, it seems like, you know, they're all 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.400 looking for him. And rightfully so he's earned and deserved that. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.360 What about Trey McBride, what is it about his game 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.360 that makes him special? 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.160 He is there's. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:02.520 A lot of things that could go for about ten 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:07.639 minutes here. He's he's incredibly athletic, obviously, like when he 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.720 gets the ball in space, it just seems like it 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.159 tasts like four guys to bring him down, Like he 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.800 just kind of is like a bowling ball in the. 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.600 Way that he runs once he gets ahead of team, 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:17.200 where guys. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:18.200 Are just bouncing off him. 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.280 But it's feel for space, like if you're playing zone 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.960 defense against him and and he sees a little pocket 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.720 of space, he just has a great sense of where 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.600 to find the space and the defense how to create 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.040 that little bit of separation for the quarterback to find 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:36.600 him in. And you know, I thought it was, oh, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.320 he and Kyler have a great rapport and that they're 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.760 clearly have some sort of telepathic communication. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.000 What's when the exact same six percent took. 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.359 Over, So you know you you then attribute it more 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:47.160 to Okay, this is. 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:48.760 Just a special, special. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:51.640 Special player, right He's doing it with multiple quarterbacks. 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.000 He's fantastic and as. 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.120 You mentioned, Bengals being the worst team in the league 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.840 against tight ends, and you know I haven't checked with 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.840 it with the VAGA numbers, saying I'm not a betting man, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.120 but I would have a hard time imagining that they're 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.000 setting an over under high enough for his. 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:11.159 Right right. A couple more questions for Theo mackew, who 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:15.560 covers the Cardinals for the Arizona Republic. Walter Nolan was 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:19.800 frequently mocked drafted to the Bengals this past offseason. The 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.680 Cardinals took them one pick before Cincinnati, and now he's out. 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:27.200 He suffered a season ending injury last week see the 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.240 Josh Sweat. The team leader in Sax hasn't been practicing 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.000 so far this week. You alluded earlier to the sheer 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.440 number of players that the Cardinals have uninjured reserve, more 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.840 than any other team. How battered and bruised is the 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.560 team that we will see coming to Cincinnati on Sunday. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:49.840 Incredibly so on offense, they're they're down to three week 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:54.359 one starters center Yelda frohol McBride and Michael Wilson, oh 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:55.320 and Marvin Harrison. 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:56.600 Ginia that he's limited with a. 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.720 Heel injury, only played half the staffs last week on defense, 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.320 like a among their like true difference maker type. You 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.879 know that there's some like fringe starters who are healthy, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.879 but among like true starters, it's like cornerback Will Johnson, 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.400 their second round pick, safety Jalen Thompson might go Kalaias 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:19.639 Kibole defensive tackle is healthy and plays about half to 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.360 snaps at his age at age thirty nine. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.680 And that's like it, Like you know, they have at least. 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:30.560 Ten like crucial starters currently sideline. It's just you know, 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.040 their injuries for a lot of the season, we're limited 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.520 to offense, and now it's just kind of a blood 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.400 bath for the whole team. It's really a second string 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.520 lineup that they've had out there these last week or two. 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:46.000 What about the defense, let's uh talk about them. I 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.080 know we gotta we gotta run and we do appreciate 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.639 the time that you've given us with You're phenomenal. You 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:58.080 know the Arizona Cardinals. Inside out this defensive football team, offensive, 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:03.800 defensive line, linebacker, there's safeties and corners, all three phases. 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.639 How well have they played? Has one unit played exceedingly 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.560 better than another? Have they all been average mediocre? Has 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.120 one been poor? And a couple better, have two been 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:16.600 poor and one better? How's it worked out this year? 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.119 I would say they've all been pretty bad, Yeah, to 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.359 various degrees. I mean, in their seven game losing streak 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.040 right now, they've allowed forty points in four of those games. 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.520 You know, when you have a defensive head coach and 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:34.840 a defensive coordinator who many consider to be, you know, 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.679 an up and coming head coach candidate coming into this season, 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.719 it's just been wildly disappointing. 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:44.040 You can, as I said, when they were healthier, the defensive. 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:44.720 Line has been really bad. 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:46.760 Outside of Walton All and who has been mentioned is 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.640 now Auklays Campbell's been solid. Everyone else that has been 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:54.600 really quite exploitable. And then that linebacker Mac Wilson Senior 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:55.760 was a starting linebacker. 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:56.520 He's pretty good. 0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:59.800 He's now on IRS was the last six games, and 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:01.800 the guys who have stepped in for him have really 0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.080 been a weak spot. A Keen Davis Skaters came over 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:04.919 from Cincinnati. 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.760 As we know, he has not you know, he's. 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.080 Been forced to step into this role that he did 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.840 play in Cincinnati where he's playing every snap and just 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:14.879 does not look up the steed. They've got a rookie 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:18.520 fourths round pick Cody Simon from Ohio State. He's still 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.560 kind of getting his feet under him, has had some 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.600 good moments, but not quite ready for this role either. 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:26.920 So you're just looking at a lot of guys who 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.320 aren't really ready for this role. And there on the 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.840 co sensive line, it's it's guys who are highly drafted. 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.000 Garius Robinson was a first round pick last year and 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:39.000 has really struggled. So those two groups, the whole front 0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:42.399 seven right now on this fairly weak outside of Josh Sweat, 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.800 who is eleven zacks this season but but might not 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.119 play this week, so it's it's a pretty weak Goog overall. 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.760 The secondary is a little bit better, but it's been 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:52.080 a little inconsistent as well. 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.680 THEO, we know you have playing to catch this afternoon. 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.280 Travel safe to Cincinnati, and thanks again for your time 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.920 this afternoon. Thanks thank you so much for having me. 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:02.639 I hope the airport background. 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:03.320 Noise is not too bad. 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:04.680 Yeah, it was not bad at all. 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:06.119 Much appreciated to you. 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:08.080 I have a good one, all right. 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.520 That is the THEO mackew who covers the Cardinals for 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.280 the Arizona Republic. We'll take a time out. When we 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:16.840 come back, we'll shine the spotlight on an unsung hero 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:20.520 who has really emerged in recent weeks for Cincinnati. This 0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.760 is the Bengals pep Rally Show presented by Just Bear Chicken, 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.360 Live from the on the Rhyine Eatery, the food hull 0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:31.560 above the downtown Kroger here on ESPN fifteen thirty yours 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.280 drops back to throw, begins scrambling right, floats it high 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:35.600 and deep down the field. 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:42.240 Intercepted another takeaway for Cincinnati, Jalen Davis with the pick, 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:47.960 and the Bengals defense is having its best quarter in ages. 0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:52.000 It might be in team history. Three takeaways and a 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.480 fourth down stop in one quarter. 0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.639 Welcome back to the Bengals pep Rally Show, presented by 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.040 Jess Spare Chicken Life from the on the Rhyin Eatery 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.560 here in downtown Cincinnati. Lapini are here until six o'clock tonight. 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.800 Tylan Fairchild will be our special guest from five to six. 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.879 We just heard a highlight from last week's game, the 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:16.920 first career interception for Jalen Davis. Jalen has spent most 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:20.040 of this season on the practice squad. Then when Cam 0:25:20.160 --> 0:25:22.920 Taylor Britt suffered his injury. Jalen got promoted to the 0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.200 regular roster. In recent weeks, He's been starting as the 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:29.840 slot corner and Lappie looks a lot like Mike Hilton 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:33.320 used to look. He's undersized, but he's making plays. He's 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:37.879 a sure tackler, had a tremendous interception last week. Have 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:41.200 the Bengals found something in Jalen Davis. 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.399 Man, I'll tell you Dan, if they've found another Mike Hilton, 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:44.760 they've unearthed a diamond. 0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.960 Man. I mean this. I agree with you. Jalen. 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:53.240 He he has immense football IQ. He's Benza with his 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:58.920 football IQ. He understands the game at such a high level, 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.879 and the coaches it. He's always where he's supposed to 0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.000 be when he's supposed to be there, doing what he's 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:07.000 supposed to do. His teammates love him because they can 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.479 trust him. They also respect the heck out of him 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:12.479 because he has not had an easy path to get 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:14.560 where he's gotten in the National Football League. He's had 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:18.480 to work hard. He's earned everything. Nothing's been given to him, 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:21.440 nothing on a silver platter. Here you go, Jalen, you 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.960 know this is this is what we're talking about. I 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:26.840 respect the heck out of him as well. I mean, 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:32.280 a guy who has sacrificed what he's sacrificed to get 0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:36.440 to where he is. I'll tell your heart, he's a 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:39.880 great example of the old saying Mike Paul Brown used 0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:42.360 to say all the time, gentlemen, hard work pays off 0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:45.080 if you continue to work, if you continue to grind, 0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:47.480 if you continue to do everything we're asking you to do, 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.040 and you know, you're going to have to trust us 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.520 that the coaches know what we're talking about. And if 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.280 we can get that kind of relationship going, you're going 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:58.399 to be a great player, and we're going to advance 0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:00.480 your opportunity and you're going to make a lot of 0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:02.560 money for you and your family in this game, and 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.119 you'll be around for a long time. I think Jalen 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:06.160 Davis has headed that way. 0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:09.320 He joined the Bengals in Zach Taylor's first year as 0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.600 head coach, so he's been here for a while. He 0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:13.760 was on the Super Bowl team he got into the 0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:16.800 Super Bowl, but when Mike Hilton was on the team, 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.080 he was always kind of Mike's back up. As long 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:22.040 as Mike was healthy, Jalen was not getting a ton 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.119 of snaps on defense. But he's getting them now. The 0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.959 defense has looked better as a result. Let's hear from 0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.399 head coach Zach Taylor on Jalen Davis. 0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:32.920 You know when he walks into building, what you're gonna 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.800 get from JD? You're gonna get tremendous energy, good vibes. Guy, 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.320 great since, a humor, person that everybody likes betting around. 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.639 He's gonna work. He's got a knack for making plays, 0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:47.080 great communicator, really high football Q. You know, so just 0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.600 all the things you would you draw up a player. 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.200 And I'm sure it's frustrating for him. You know, I've 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.159 had a lot of training camp, final cut days. You 0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:58.320 know where AJD? Here we are again, you know, and 0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:00.600 we know we can count on you on the practice 0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:02.600 squad and if there's no ovation, we know we can 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.000 get you out here and do it. And so for 0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:05.959 him just to make the most of the opportunity, You're 0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.080 you're just you're really happy for him to get that 0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:12.240 opportunity because he deserves it. He's worked hard for it. 0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:16.280 Just a great human, great player, one of those glue 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:17.600 guys in the locker room that you got to have 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:21.600 because he just he makes everybody around you happier better, 0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:24.399 just really really happy for him. 0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:27.560 The knock on Jaillen Davis has always been the lack 0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:30.960 of size. He's five ten one eighty six. You wish 0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.240 he was a few inches taller and a few pounds heavier. Yeah, 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.280 that's not going to happen. But not only is he 0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:41.800 playing well, but since this move took place, it's kicked 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:45.520 dax Hill from the slot to an outside corner position. 0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:49.200 I really think that's where he needs to stay. I 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:52.760 think they've identified where he can have the biggest impact. 0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:56.520 Stop moving him around, keep him there. I'm with you, coach. 0:28:56.840 --> 0:29:01.080 I mean, Daxville is a potential shock outside corner. I 0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.560 really believe that he's got that the athletic ability to 0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:05.720 do that. He's got the size, he's got the length, 0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:08.240 he's got to change of direction ability, he's got the 0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.960 straight line speed. I mean, he projects as a potential 0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:16.600 Pro Bowl, if not Pro Bowl, high level player at 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:18.600 the cornerback position for a long time. 0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:22.200 So having Jalen Davis being able to play in the 0:29:22.240 --> 0:29:24.600 slot like he has has improved two spots. 0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:25.200 You know. 0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:28.280 And Al Goldin's defense in the back end, and I'm 0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:30.600 sure Al Golden's thrilled about it. I mean, he's got 0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:36.560 to be excited and happy about what has transpired. So, uh, 0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.880 you can never have enough defensive backs, That's that's for sure. 0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:41.120 One. 0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:44.240 That's one thing Paul Brown always said to you know, 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:48.080 defensive backs, that's a that's a skilled position where you 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.440 can never have enough for him. You know, you're down 0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.120 one in a game, you're down too in a game, 0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:55.160 and now you're struggling, you're in trouble. So I do 0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:59.720 think Jalen Davis is a guy that can provide versatility. 0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:01.840 He can play outside and the pinch. It's not like 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.800 he's terrible outside, but he's a really good slot corner. 0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:08.400 Dax Hill can play inside and outside. So now al 0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:12.880 Golden has multiple guys that he can play, you know, 0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:16.560 chess with in his chess game, and he can check 0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:21.520 me people because they don't know what where they're going 0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:23.080 to line up, how they're going to line up, how 0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:28.000 many defensive backs, how many linebackers, how many defensive linemen 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:31.680 they're going to have on the field. And versatility is 0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.920 the name of the game. If you've got versatility and 0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.240 diversity in your skill set, you're going to be around 0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:37.720 a long time. 0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.480 Coming up next. Joe Burrow spoke to reporters on Wednesday 0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:44.160 this week and he had something to say about the 0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:49.200 Arizona Cardinals that made me say WHOA. Well, hear what 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:52.520 Joe said, and I'll explain why I had that reaction 0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:55.640 when we come back. This is the Bengals pep Rally 0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:59.280 Show or presented by Just Fair Chicken. Live from the 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:02.880 on the right. We're here until six o'clock on ESPN 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:10.840 fifteen thirty. Dan Horden Dave Lapham back on the Bengals 0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.800 pep Rally Show presented by Just Paired Chicken. We are 0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:17.400 broadcasting live today as we always do on Friday afternoons 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.960 from the on the Rhine Eatery. It's the food hall 0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:23.320 above the downtown Kroger at the intersection of Court and Walnut. 0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:25.760 If you have not been here before, come out and 0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:30.720 join us today. Plenty of great inexpensive food choices here. 0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.040 You can get burgers, you can get the best dry 0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:35.760 rub wings that we've had in town. Just had a 0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:38.440 little Asian food. There's a full service bar as well. 0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:41.560 Plenty of seating available and again our special guests coming 0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:45.720 up from five to six will be Bengals starting left guard. 0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:48.280 Third round draft pick, who's having an excellent rookie year 0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:49.680 Dylan Fairchild. 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:51.520 Dan, I agree with you. I think he is having 0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:54.000 an excellent rookie year. I mean, I remember by rookie 0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:56.760 year as an offensive lineman in the NFL, it can 0:31:56.880 --> 0:32:03.720 be just so much to deal with. It's like, you know, 0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:07.520 where do I begin. It's like you can be easily overwhelmed, 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.800 even if you played at a high level getting playing 0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:14.920 in the in the National Football League, at the professional level, 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.760 the highest level of football, there's so much to learn offensively, 0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.880 so many different techniques, so many different fundamentals than you 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:26.600 maybe learning and executed and played in college dealing. Fairchild's 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:28.200 fortunate and that he played in the SEC, and he 0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:31.080 played at Georgia, one of the best conferences in college football, 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.080 one of the best football teams in that conference, so 0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:35.880 he was exposed to football at a very high level, 0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.520 you know, in the collegiate game. So his transition to 0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:41.840 the National Football League might be a little bit smooth 0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:44.600 or a little bit easier than some other guys. And 0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.800 he's playing well. I mean, when he got inserted into 0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:51.600 the lineup, you could tell that he's a guy that 0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.680 could have an impact on the performance on an offensive 0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:55.280 line for sure. 0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.320 Tling Fairchild and his offensive teammates will be facing at 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:02.600 Arizona d that's been struggling of late. The Cardinals come 0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:05.480 in with a seven game losing streak. During the seven 0:33:05.560 --> 0:33:09.000 game losing streak, here are the point totals that the 0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:11.600 other team has put up on the board. Forty four, 0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:17.480 forty one, twenty seven, twenty forty five, forty and twenty six. 0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:21.080 That's an average of thirty four point seven points allowed 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:24.880 per game during the seven game losing streak. Earlier this week, 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:29.360 Joe Burrow is asked to describe the Arizona Cardinals defensive approach. 0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:30.800 Yeah, they don't do. 0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:35.200 The traditional coverages that you typically see they do, but 0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:37.400 they get to them from different ways. They're going to 0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:42.080 play a kind of umbrella look from the secondary and 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:47.040 roll and drop into a bunch of different coverages. What 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.360 kind of reminds me of how Clemson kind of played 0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:53.520 us in the National Championship. So it'll present a unique 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:54.240 challenge for sure. 0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:57.360 All Right. When I heard Joe Burrow say that a 0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:01.520 couple of days ago, here's why I said, WHOA. He 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:05.920 compared the Arizona defense to the Clemson defense that he 0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:10.120 saw in the National Championship game with the twenty nineteen 0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:13.960 undefeated LSU team. Here's how Joe Burrow did against that 0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:18.200 defensive structure in the National Championship game. Four hundred and 0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:22.520 sixty three yards pass a, five touchdown passes, one touchdown run. 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.640 Jamar Chase had nine catches for two hundred twenty eight 0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.479 yards in the game. LSU had six hundred and twenty 0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:32.120 eight yards of offense. So when Joe describes an opponent's 0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.120 defense as one that looks a lot like the Clemson 0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.840 defense that he faced in that National Championship game, I 0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:39.800 don't necessarily take it as a compliment. 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:44.319 Yeah, yeah, very and now I understand what your your 0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:47.680 woes like. And they lit him up. I mean, Joe 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:53.120 Burrow took him apart, picked him apart. Clemson had very 0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.839 very strong skill position players in that National Championship game. 0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:01.040 Joe Burrow, the strongest and the most skilled at the 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:04.640 quarterback position, won the Heisman Trophy Best Player in College Football. 0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:08.120 He was throwing to Jamar Chase. They played with each 0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:12.680 other four years at LSU, and they lit it up. 0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:17.759 Had tremendous football game against the Clemson Tigers. So if 0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:23.600 the Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase can be the primary 0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:26.560 one to two punch of an offensive football team that 0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:30.760 performs at a high level against Arizona, and they performed 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:35.120 like they did in the National Championship Game for Clemson 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:39.200 and the teammates, their teammates support their efforts with strong 0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:43.480 performances of their own, could be a very very good 0:35:43.600 --> 0:35:46.520 day in Arizona and a nice playing ride home. 0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:51.359 Cardinals have given up forty plus in four of their 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:55.000 last seven. While it feels to me like the Bengals 0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:58.040 offense is going to have a bad day now. Sometimes 0:35:58.120 --> 0:35:59.880 you have that feeling all week and it plays out 0:36:01.400 --> 0:36:04.600 differently from what you expect. But man, my gut tells 0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:07.560 me that Burrow and company are going to thrive on Sunday. 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.600 I agree. I definitely think they're they're gonna thrive. I 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.239 think they'll they'll thrive at a at a very high level. 0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:16.360 I would be surprised, not surprised, but I mean I 0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.640 think they're more than capable obviously of putting forty or 0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:22.399 more on the board themselves. They just scored forty five 0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.200 last week. Wouldn't it be great to put forty eight 0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:27.600 on the board, you know against the Earth team, fifty 0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:29.520 fifty hit five. Oh, let's hit the fitty. 0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:31.760 Oh why e five? Oh, let's do a little. 0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:34.759 Fitty I love it. Uh, that would be great. 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:35.839 How about that? Though? 0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:39.560 If they do score fifty ninety five points scored in 0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:44.480 two weeks, that's that's mind boggling. That's incomprehensible. That's not 0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.120 the norm in the NFL, that's for sure. 0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.719 All Right, we're gonna take a time out. When we 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:52.200 come back, we'll talk about an Arizona player who's on 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:57.200 the verge of setting an NFL single season record. This 0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.200 is the Bengals pep Rally Show presented by Just Bear 0:37:00.360 --> 0:37:03.040 Chicken live from the On the Rhine Eatery the Food 0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:10.640 Haul above the Downtown Kroger on ESPN fifteen thirty. It 0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:13.360 is a Friday afternoon here in the Queen City. That 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.760 means we are hanging out at the On the Rhyin Eatery, 0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.440 the food hall above the Downtown Kroger for the Bengals 0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:23.080 pep Rally Show presented by Just Bear chick In. The 0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:25.600 Bengals have a home game this week, the next to 0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:28.480 last game of the regular season, as they host the 0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.920 struggling Arizona Cardinals who started the season two to zero 0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:35.479 and have gone one to twelve since. But you can't 0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:39.400 blame those struggles on their tight end, Trey McBride. The 0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:43.239 NFL single season record for catches by a tight end 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.600 is one hundred and sixteen. That was set by Zach 0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:50.359 Ertz several years ago. Trey McBride is almost certainly going 0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:52.800 to beat it. He's got one hundred and nine catches 0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:56.200 with two games to go. He had four catches last week. 0:37:56.320 --> 0:37:59.719 That marked the first time in seventeen games he did 0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:02.840 not have five or more, which is really unusual for 0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:06.080 a tight end. Let's hear from Bengals head coach Zach 0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:07.800 Taylor on Trey McBride. 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:11.840 I think Trey McBride is a phenomenal tight end. You know, 0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.400 they use him really all the ways we try to 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:17.239 get you more of the ball. You know, you see 0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:19.080 that from Trey. He's not gonna line up outside the 0:38:19.120 --> 0:38:21.000 numbers necessarily and run the full route tree out there, 0:38:21.080 --> 0:38:23.520 but put him out there and kind of the way 0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:25.480 you see Ertz use in Philly a little bit, try 0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:28.960 to get some matchups, and his Colorado State tape was 0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:31.040 full of these middle screens. I'd never really seen a 0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:33.480 tight end catch before and blow and behold. They're they're 0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:36.040 using them like crazy on that. So they're just trying 0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:37.600 to find a way to get him the ball every 0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:39.520 which way imaginable. They do a great job of it 0:38:39.680 --> 0:38:42.920 covered or uncovered. He's got really strong hands. He's a 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:46.800 really physical runner, violent runner. One one of a really impressive, 0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:48.400 impressive players in this league. 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:53.480 Lap to me, Trey McBride is brock Bowers from the Raiders, 0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:55.520 but just with less publicity. 0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:58.239 I think that's a great comment. I think that that 0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.200 sums it up big time. I couldn't agree with you more. 0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:07.960 I mean, brock Bauers is is a force. He's extremely 0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:11.680 gifted as a receiver. He can run the whole route 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:17.080 tree like McBride. Seventeen straight games with five catches and more. 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:27.840 That's amazing. It's amazing, and I'm almost speechless to the 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:29.000 consistency of that. 0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:32.319 You know how hard it is and durability a tight 0:39:32.480 --> 0:39:35.360 end too, because you know those guys are operating in 0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:37.840 the middle of the field so often, they're taking shots 0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:40.880 from every direction. We used to talk about this with 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:44.600 Tyler Eiford, who unfortunately had more than his share of injuries. 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:48.600 At that position, you take shots that you can't avoid, 0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:51.319 whereas a wide receiver you've got a chance to get 0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:53.359 out of bound, out of bounds a little more often. 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.640 Tight end, man, there's so many instances where you don't 0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:58.719 even know where they're coming from with some of these 0:39:58.760 --> 0:39:59.439 shots you take. 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.560 Remember Bob Trumpy talking about that very thing. 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:02.839 Dan. 0:40:03.360 --> 0:40:05.120 It's like, man, you know, when you're playing the tight 0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:07.600 end position and you're doing your damage in the middle 0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:10.200 of the football field, they're coming from everywhere. I mean, 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:14.600 it's like incoming shots, man, you know, bombs away in 0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:19.120 you and you're the target. You know, you can get 0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:22.120 crushed by a linebacker, a middle linebacker, or an outside 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:26.000 backer when you're running most of your patterns between the 0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:30.400 hash marks like Trump, he did safety, strong and free safety, 0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:34.239 middle linebacker, outside backers. He took hits from all of them, 0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:37.600 and a lot of times multiple guys on every play. 0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.719 You know, on a single play he get hit by 0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:43.520 a linebacker and a safety, a linebacker in a corner 0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:46.839 and you know, two of one one or the other, 0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:48.040 one of one. 0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.960 Two of the other. I mean, you know, he he. 0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:54.120 He was fairly revolutionary. Bill Walsh did a lot with 0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.920 Bob Trumpy. He was kind of like, you know, the 0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:01.640 receiver slash tight end of his era, of his day. 0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:04.080 And that's what these guys are. That's what a lot 0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:08.080 of these tight ends in today's football are. The offenses 0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:12.600 today are much more different, much different, i should say, 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:16.479 than they were back in the seventies. Bob Trumpy stept 0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:22.040 drafted in nineteen sixty eight. Paul Brown was revolutionary. Paul 0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.920 Brown had a vision. Paul Brown saw things before anybody 0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.919 else did, and implemented them on the football field before 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.400 anybody else could and made people adjust to him. And 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:32.600 then he move on and do something else. And Bob 0:41:32.640 --> 0:41:38.279 Trump he was one of his early favorite experiments at 0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:39.120 the tight end position. 0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:42.719 The Cardinals have Marvin Harrison Junior on the roster, the 0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.360 fourth pick in the draft last year out of Ohio State. 0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:49.080 He's been beaten up in recent weeks, so he does 0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:52.040 not have tremendous stats this season. They do have a 0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.440 wide receiver that they drafted a few years ago out 0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:58.560 of Stanford, Michael Wilson, who's playing well, but make no mistake, 0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:01.400 when they drop back to throw, they are looking for 0:42:01.560 --> 0:42:04.719 Trey McBride first and foremost, Just like the Bengals look 0:42:04.800 --> 0:42:08.000 to get it to Jamar Chase at every opportunity. That's 0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:09.840 what the Cardinals are doing with Trey McBride. 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:13.880 Agreed one hundred thousand percent. You know Trey McBride is 0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:18.160 gonna get his I mean, I think the quarterbacks with 0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:20.560 the Arizona Cardinals steel like if he doesn't get his 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.719 five catches or more five to eight catches in the game, 0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:27.279 we've done a disservice to our football team and to 0:42:27.480 --> 0:42:32.360 Trey McBride because he wins so often. I mean, whenever 0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:35.840 he's out there running a route on a football field, 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:37.759 he feels like he's better than the guy that he's 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:41.640 going against, and he's gonna win, get separation. He's a big, 0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:45.520 strong body, so he runs with physicality. He can stick 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:48.120 his foot in the ground and change direction and creates separation. 0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:50.520 He's not a slow tight end. I mean, he's not 0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:53.080 a speechter. He doesn't you know, he's not gonna set 0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:58.239 Olympic records. But the guy can run and he's a big, strong, physical, 0:42:58.480 --> 0:42:59.320 gifted athlete. 0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:02.880 One hour in the Books, two hours to go Here 0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:06.080 in the Bengals pep Rally Show presented by Just Bared Chicken. 0:43:06.120 --> 0:43:08.359 We're going to take a time out when we come back, 0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:15.120 Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden says, definitively, we will turn 0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:19.239 it around on defense next year.

The Bengals also 0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:44.719 looking to play as well defensively this week as they 0:44:44.800 --> 0:44:47.920 did last week against the Miami Dolphins. They gave a 0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:51.320 couple gave up a couple of early touchdowns, one in 0:44:51.360 --> 0:44:53.560 the first quarter, one in the second quarter, and then 0:44:53.600 --> 0:44:56.239 they were lights out in the second half. They got 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:59.120 three takeaways and a fourth and one stop in the 0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:02.759 third quarter. They gave up a garbage time touchdown when 0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:05.480 they were way ahead. Otherwise they would have only given 0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:08.960 up fourteen points in the game. Even giving up twenty 0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:11.440 one is fine. With this offense, you're usually going to win. 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:14.160 Sure when you allow twenty one or fewer points, no. 0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:14.839 Question, Dan. 0:45:15.000 --> 0:45:19.480 I mean three turnovers, takeaways and a fourth down stop 0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:23.560 in a quarter. That's mind boggling. I mean, that's like 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:27.399 that doesn't happen in the National Football League. You've got 0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:32.680 offenses that are so dynamic. I mean, they have weapons 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:36.840 that are incredible, and to be able to every single 0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:40.040 possession either take it away from them or stop them 0:45:40.080 --> 0:45:43.920 on downs is an extraordinary feat. I mean, I just 0:45:44.080 --> 0:45:51.640 I can't get over how impressive that is. At that point, 0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.759 I'm sure the Miami Dolphins were thinking, what the hell 0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:55.360 is going on? 0:45:57.239 --> 0:45:57.600 Everything? 0:45:57.680 --> 0:45:59.359 We call to have an answer for it? I mean, 0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:02.880 are they listening to our play calls? Is Al Golden 0:46:02.960 --> 0:46:05.839 got some kind of a microphone in our huddle or something? 0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:08.279 What's going on here? How are they able to be 0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:12.719 exactly where they need to be to stop the play? 0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:16.880 I mean, they played at such a high level in 0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:20.080 that third quarter, and like you say, Dan, twenty one 0:46:20.160 --> 0:46:23.120 points or less than the National Football League. I remember 0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:26.680 back in the day, if our defense held people to 0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:30.120 seventeen points or less, we expected to win the football game. 0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:33.920 We ask our defense, you know, seventeen or less, just 0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:36.960 holding to two touchdowns and field goal, and if we 0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:39.640 can't score three touchdowns, we don't deserve to win the game. 0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:44.960 And that's pretty much I think how Joe Burrow feels offensively, 0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:49.080 twenty one points in today's NFL, in today's world of 0:46:49.200 --> 0:46:51.920 offense and the creativity and the weapons and everything that 0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:56.760 the NFL has going for it today, if an offense 0:46:56.880 --> 0:47:00.800 is held to twenty one points, the defense that does that, 0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:04.319 their offensive football team should score twenty two or more 0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:04.920 and win the game. 0:47:05.680 --> 0:47:08.640 At this point, there's not much the Bengals defense can 0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:12.440 do to really improve the overall stats for the season. 0:47:12.640 --> 0:47:15.719 Even if they posted shutouts the final two games, they're 0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:17.520 going to rank near the bottom in a lot of 0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:21.560 these categories. They're currently lasting points allowed, lasting yards allowed. 0:47:21.600 --> 0:47:24.880 But it has clearly been getting better in recent weeks. 0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:27.320 Many of the young players that they've drafted in the 0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:29.719 first couple of days of the draft over the last 0:47:29.760 --> 0:47:34.000 three or four years have shown considerable improvement. And that's 0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:39.279 why Al Golden so strongly and definitively feels like this 0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:42.239 defense is going to be better next year. 0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:44.239 We're going to turn it around. 0:47:44.239 --> 0:47:47.240 There's no doubt. I mean, we got the right people 0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:48.000 in the building. 0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:53.560 We've got leaders emerging, We've played you know, a lot 0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:56.560 of young guys, and again I look at improvement. You know, 0:47:57.120 --> 0:48:01.000 individual improvement is what ultimately he's gonna lead to unit 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:05.000 success and team success. So the biggest thing for me, 0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:07.360 you know, is Jordan Battle getting better. Did Joseph Osai 0:48:07.480 --> 0:48:09.680 get better? Is Myles Murphy getting better? 0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:10.080 Et cetera? 0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:13.359 Getting better? You know, it was Jenkins better this year 0:48:13.440 --> 0:48:16.320 than last year. And I can go on and on 0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:19.279 and then then the next thing is, Okay, now Night 0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:21.040 needs to be better. You know, we need to have 0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:24.719 continuity with Shamar Barrick, Carter needs to get better. But 0:48:25.280 --> 0:48:29.040 as DJ Turner better than last year, I'm gonna say, yeah, 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:33.600 you know, it's DA's better. So keep getting better, you know, 0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:37.400 get better in the off season and come back and 0:48:38.880 --> 0:48:41.240 have continuity and keep improving. 0:48:41.560 --> 0:48:45.040 And that's you know, you know, that's the answer that question. 0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:50.480 Al Golden rattled off ten names there. Nine of the 0:48:50.600 --> 0:48:53.000 ten are sure to be back next year. The only 0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:56.719 possible exception would be Joseph Osai, who's in the final 0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:58.520 year of his deal. But the other guys are all 0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:01.360 still under contract. So we're talking about guys like Jordan Battle, 0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:06.440 Miles Murphy, Chris Jenkins, Shamar Stewart, Barrett Carter, DJ Turner, 0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:10.360 Dax Hill, and a few others. I'm not sure that 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:13.759 there are a ton of stars on that list. Maybe 0:49:13.880 --> 0:49:17.160 DJ Turner deserves a mention. He could have very easily 0:49:17.200 --> 0:49:18.640 gone to the Pro Bowl this year, and he has 0:49:18.640 --> 0:49:22.440 a Pro Bowl alternate. Maybe if Miles Murphy keeps continuing, 0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:25.120 we'll feel that way about him. Shamar Stewart certainly has 0:49:25.160 --> 0:49:28.160 the potential to be a star down the road, but 0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:33.520 any good defense is built up mostly of solid guys 0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:36.320 and then you hope to sprinkle in a few stars. 0:49:36.400 --> 0:49:38.600 They could still use the stars, but at least it 0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:42.160 seems like they're developing and proving to have the solid guys. 0:49:42.320 --> 0:49:45.720 Absolutely, and no NFL defense has a leven pro bowler. 0:49:46.280 --> 0:49:49.879 It's like that's a pipe tren. It's unrealistic, it's it's 0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:54.880 not capable of being accomplished. So yeah, DJ Turner in 0:49:54.960 --> 0:50:01.160 my mind, is a star. Can cover, can tackle, he 0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:04.160 can he can do everything that you need to have done. 0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:08.320 Plays the run very very effectively, gets off blocks and 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:12.680 tackles people like I mentioned earlier, and he's got outstanding 0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:17.400 coverage abilities. But there's nothing wrong with having you know, 0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:22.680 a DJ Turner who's a Pro Bowl guy, two other 0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:25.600 two or three other guys that are above average, well 0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:29.040 above average. You know, everybody in the National Football League 0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:31.360 would love to have those guys playing for him, and 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:36.719 then everybody else being solid, good football players, knowing what 0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.879 the heck is going on, understanding what Al Golden wants 0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:43.520 out of his defensive scheme, figuring out how you fit 0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:49.680 into that. UH, playing with solid fundamentals and UH and 0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:56.160 and the skill set is on the epswing, it's getting better. 0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.440 That's what Al Golden has. Al Golden has a bunch 0:50:59.560 --> 0:51:04.560 of solid defensive players that care, that want to be good, 0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:08.520 that want to do what Al Golden is trying to 0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:13.280 get done. They want to be part of that. They 0:51:13.360 --> 0:51:16.320 care about each other, they care about performing well for 0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:19.600 themselves and their family. It's just you know, they love 0:51:19.680 --> 0:51:22.440 the game of pro football, and that's what you're looking for. 0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:25.600 And if you're not happy with what you got, there's 0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:27.479 a couple of games left for these guys to maybe 0:51:29.040 --> 0:51:33.440 play better and maybe advance themselves in the eye of 0:51:33.640 --> 0:51:37.279 Al Golden and the assistant coaches. But if not you 0:51:37.440 --> 0:51:40.360 got the free agency in the twenty twenty five twenty 0:51:40.440 --> 0:51:44.239 six offseason, the twenty twenty six NFL Draft to get better. 0:51:44.440 --> 0:51:47.400 Yeah, and they'd better attack it with every research that 0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:50.640 they have. It's four to twelve on a Friday afternoon. 0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:53.920 The injury report is out, so let's get to the details. 0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:57.320 They are brought to you by the Kettering Health Injury Network. 0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:01.120 The Kettering Health Network ID say it is the Kettering 0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:04.040 Health Injury Report. Been reading that card all year and 0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:06.440 I'm still screwing it up for some reason. But here 0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:09.200 are the key details. First. For the Bengals, Joseph Osai 0:52:09.520 --> 0:52:12.919 is out this week. Charlie Jones remains out, so they'll 0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:15.279 be missing one of their best pass rushers, and their 0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:19.480 kick and punt returner Noah Fant is listed as questionable. 0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:23.279 So those are the biggest Cincinnati question marks going into 0:52:23.320 --> 0:52:26.919 the game. For the Cardinals, their multi time Pro Bowl 0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:32.240 safety Buddha Baker is out, a Cincinnati kid. They're starting 0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:34.920 left tackle Paris Johnson out of Princeton High School in 0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:37.600 Ohio state. He is out, so we won't get to 0:52:37.640 --> 0:52:40.439 see Paris Johnson play for the Cardinals this week. They're 0:52:40.520 --> 0:52:44.520 leading pass rusher Josh Schwett, who has eleven sacks this year, 0:52:44.640 --> 0:52:48.719 listed as questionable. Additionally, these guys are not on the 0:52:48.840 --> 0:52:53.600 injury report because they suffered season ending injuries last week. 0:52:53.920 --> 0:52:56.680 Walter Nolan a season ending knee injury, so he's out. 0:52:57.080 --> 0:53:01.239 Cornerback Garrett Williams a season ending torn achilles last week, 0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:04.520 so he's out. So we talked about this earlier with 0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:07.960 a reporter who covers the Cardinals for the Arizona newspaper. 0:53:08.160 --> 0:53:12.160 This is the most injury ravaged team in the league 0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:16.360 this year. By his estimation, ten of their best players 0:53:16.960 --> 0:53:19.880 will not take the field against the Bengals on Sunday. 0:53:20.239 --> 0:53:24.200 That's uh, that's a mind boggling number right there. There's 0:53:24.239 --> 0:53:28.120 only twenty two guys that are going to be taking 0:53:28.160 --> 0:53:31.680 the field offensively and defensively. And when you when you 0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:35.640 are told that ten of the best ones won't be 0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:40.800 going against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, that is that 0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:44.600 catches your attention, catches your attention big time. Uh. The 0:53:44.680 --> 0:53:48.080 Arizona Cardinals are fighting an uphill battle, There's no no 0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:50.800 doubt about it. I mean, they're they're going into football 0:53:50.880 --> 0:53:53.880 games with the next guy, next guy up. You know, 0:53:54.000 --> 0:53:57.080 it's it's that's always the battle cry. Next guy up. 0:53:57.120 --> 0:54:02.960 Hopefully the next guy up plays players well and you don't. 0:54:03.000 --> 0:54:07.000 You won't lose a whole lot by an injury to 0:54:07.120 --> 0:54:10.840 a to a starting player. But the reality is, starting 0:54:10.840 --> 0:54:14.480 player is a starting player for a reason. I mean, uh, 0:54:15.400 --> 0:54:21.560 he's he's time tested and uh, you know, over multiple 0:54:21.600 --> 0:54:25.520 snaps and multiple games, he's proven to be the best guy. So, uh, 0:54:26.600 --> 0:54:28.560 you can get labeled a starter for a reason. 0:54:29.120 --> 0:54:31.880 Well, Paris Johnson won't play for the Cardinals on Sunday. 0:54:31.920 --> 0:54:35.000 There are several players that have Cincinnati ties who will 0:54:35.040 --> 0:54:38.319 take the field for the Cardinals, including a King Davis Caather, 0:54:38.560 --> 0:54:41.440 a Bengal for the past several seasons, signed as a 0:54:41.480 --> 0:54:45.080 free agent with Arizona this past offseason, and he has 0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:48.520 been starting at linebacker after an injury they had early 0:54:48.680 --> 0:54:51.640 this year. He'll actually go into the game number two 0:54:51.840 --> 0:54:55.080 in tackles for the Cardinals this season. On the offense 0:54:55.239 --> 0:54:57.920 offensive side of the ball, they recently picked up former 0:54:58.400 --> 0:55:02.680 Roger Bacon and Universe of Cincinnati star Corey Kiner, not 0:55:02.920 --> 0:55:05.680 starting at running back, but likely to get several carries. 0:55:05.960 --> 0:55:09.160 He'll come in when Michael Carter goes out. Corey Kiner 0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:11.960 had six carries for thirty two yards last week, his 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:16.319 first significant action in a Cardinals uniform. Arizona also has 0:55:16.680 --> 0:55:20.160 tight end Josiah Deguara, who played at the University of Cincinnati, 0:55:20.280 --> 0:55:22.960 and even before that, he was a high school teammate 0:55:23.440 --> 0:55:28.360 in Fulsome, California with Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning. He 0:55:28.480 --> 0:55:31.919 was Jake Browning's favorite target going back to their high 0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:34.919 school days. We'll take a time out when we come back. 0:55:35.200 --> 0:55:40.000 It's today's episode of Fantastic Fun Facts.

I know you played football in Montvale, 0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:00.520 New Jersey, which isn't too far from New York, York City. 0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.160 Where exactly did you live growing up? 0:57:03.280 --> 0:57:04.800 I lived in Night in New York growing up, so 0:57:04.880 --> 0:57:06.920 it's about a fifteen minute rode right outside of my 0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:08.319 right outside of New Jersey. 0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:11.520 Do you consider yourself a New York City guy? A 0:57:11.680 --> 0:57:13.799 Jersey guy? How would you label yourself just. 0:57:13.840 --> 0:57:16.040 In New York and not New York City, not New 0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:16.640 Jersey guy? 0:57:16.680 --> 0:57:19.160 I love everybody. I'm from New York. I love that 0:57:19.240 --> 0:57:21.760 about myself. I love the energy in New York. I 0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:24.480 love New York. I love everything that it provides and 0:57:24.560 --> 0:57:27.000 what it's about. So I tell everybody I'm from New York. 0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:27.760 Joe. 0:57:27.840 --> 0:57:30.080 What sports did you play growing up? And when did 0:57:30.120 --> 0:57:33.200 you know that football would ultimately be your path forward? 0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:35.920 So growing up, we played everything, and then when I 0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:38.520 got to the high school, played fotball, basketball, lacrosse. But 0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:41.040 for me, football was everything from an early age. My 0:57:41.120 --> 0:57:43.560 dad coached high school football from the time I was born, 0:57:43.600 --> 0:57:46.480 so I've been on a field in pamps and as 0:57:46.560 --> 0:57:48.320 long as I can remember, and it's the only thing 0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:50.600 I ever wanted to do. My mom jokes and will 0:57:50.600 --> 0:57:52.200 tell stories, so I told her that I wasn't going 0:57:52.240 --> 0:57:54.400 to college state classes. I was going there for chalk 0:57:54.440 --> 0:57:56.800 talk and film prep and things like that. That's what 0:57:56.840 --> 0:57:59.120 I was gonna do in college. So being able to 0:57:59.160 --> 0:58:02.040 be here now, it's a thing. But I pretty much 0:58:02.080 --> 0:58:03.360 knew football was my path. 0:58:03.400 --> 0:58:06.560 All You played college football at Duke, which means you 0:58:06.600 --> 0:58:09.240 were probably a very good student in high school. Was 0:58:09.320 --> 0:58:10.960 that important in your family? 0:58:11.160 --> 0:58:11.720 Absolutely? 0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:15.400 My mom and my grandmother were both teachers, so that 0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:18.040 was pushed on us big from the early from early on, 0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:20.760 and when it came to it, it's like, well why 0:58:20.840 --> 0:58:22.560 not Duke. You know, it's the best of both worlds. 0:58:22.560 --> 0:58:26.000 I got to play very competitive, powerful football and get 0:58:26.080 --> 0:58:28.520 one of the best educations in the country. So, I 0:58:28.600 --> 0:58:29.640 mean it was a win win for me. 0:58:30.280 --> 0:58:33.400 Coach k was the basketball coach throughout your tenure at Duke. 0:58:33.600 --> 0:58:36.160 Did you interact, Oh, I mean we saw him a 0:58:36.160 --> 0:58:36.640 couple of times. 0:58:36.640 --> 0:58:38.960 I wouldn't say I knew him personally, but there was 0:58:38.960 --> 0:58:40.680 a couple times he spoke to the football program and 0:58:40.840 --> 0:58:42.200 you know, going to the games and things like that, 0:58:42.320 --> 0:58:44.080 but it was it was definitely cool to see like 0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:46.200 a living legend in person, especially his last couple. 0:58:46.000 --> 0:58:47.480 Of years I was there. So it was pretty cool. 0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:50.360 While you were Duke, you were the three time winner 0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:52.880 of the Vincent Ray Award, which goes to the best 0:58:52.960 --> 0:58:56.680 linebacker at Duke. And Vinnie Ray, of course, is here 0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:59.080 in Cincinnati played for the Bengals. He is currently the 0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:01.400 team chaplain. Have you two hit it off now that 0:59:01.440 --> 0:59:02.360 you're here in Cincinnati. 0:59:02.560 --> 0:59:04.840 So it's funny, you know, being at Duke for the 0:59:04.880 --> 0:59:06.920 four years, that was the name I heard every day 0:59:07.160 --> 0:59:08.960 I heard Vinni Ray would do this, Vinie Ray would 0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:10.720 do that, Vinie Ray wouldn't have done this, or and 0:59:10.800 --> 0:59:12.560 it was back and forth, and I didn't actually meet 0:59:12.640 --> 0:59:16.640 Vinnie until this past year, this past spring at an 0:59:16.720 --> 0:59:19.760 event the NFL host over the summer, and I got 0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:21.200 to meet Vinni for the first time. And it was 0:59:21.200 --> 0:59:23.200 funny because I'm like, I know so much about you, 0:59:23.280 --> 0:59:25.680 but I don't know you. And since you know, he's 0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:28.120 he's been nothing but a blessing to me and my family. 0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:32.320 And between getting settled in sincey Bible studies, meeting with 0:59:32.440 --> 0:59:35.400 him one on one, you know, it's been really cool to, 0:59:35.560 --> 0:59:37.600 you know, build that relationship. And Vinnie's a New York 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:39.160 guy who went to Duke, and I'm a New York 0:59:39.160 --> 0:59:40.200 guy I went to Duke, so it kind of just 0:59:40.280 --> 0:59:41.240 worked out hand in hand. 0:59:41.800 --> 0:59:44.200 We're visiting with Joe Giles Harris. You had a great 0:59:44.280 --> 0:59:47.440 career at Duke, team MVP, two time first Team All 0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:50.680 acc or a team captain there your final year, did 0:59:50.760 --> 0:59:53.640 you expect to get drafted and was it a big 0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:54.960 disappointment when you weren't. 0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:57.800 Oh, I think so, I think for me, you know, 0:59:57.960 --> 1:00:00.480 that's obviously for everybody. It's the ultimate goals to get drafted, 1:00:00.560 --> 1:00:03.680 and when it didn't happen, you know, it hurt a 1:00:03.760 --> 1:00:06.200 little bit. But I come from a competitive household and 1:00:06.400 --> 1:00:08.520 my brother plays professional lacrals and things like that, so 1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:10.120 there was no sulking in the moment. It was just 1:00:10.360 --> 1:00:11.520 all right, what are you gonna do to stay? What 1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:13.600 are you gonna do to you know, actually make it? 1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:16.280 Because you're not the first The first door is not open, 1:00:16.280 --> 1:00:17.560 so you got to walk to the second door. So 1:00:18.800 --> 1:00:20.600 for me, it was disappointing, but I think it also 1:00:20.640 --> 1:00:22.920 taught me a lot of things about myself. And it 1:00:23.040 --> 1:00:24.520 taught me that if I really wanted, I had to 1:00:24.600 --> 1:00:27.080 put in that much more work to get to where 1:00:27.080 --> 1:00:28.920 I'm at. And seven years later, I'm still here doing it. 1:00:29.040 --> 1:00:32.360 So uh, blessed for how it's gone, how it started. 1:00:32.360 --> 1:00:33.920 It was gonna up, but you know, figured it out 1:00:34.520 --> 1:00:37.480 because of the way NFL accounting works. The roster says 1:00:37.520 --> 1:00:40.080 you have two years of NFL experience, and it's always 1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:43.440 annoying to me because the truth is, this is your 1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:47.640 seventh NFL season, including time that you've spent on practice squads. 1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:51.080 It's a good living regardless of what your status is 1:00:51.160 --> 1:00:54.120 on the roster. What's been the key for you to 1:00:54.240 --> 1:00:56.680 remain an NFL player for seven years? 1:00:57.360 --> 1:00:59.040 For me, I think it's just been simple. You know, 1:00:59.080 --> 1:00:59.920 show up to work every day. 1:01:00.080 --> 1:01:00.280 Work. 1:01:01.000 --> 1:01:03.440 There's somebody coming in and take your spot every day. 1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:06.000 There's a hundred guys who are getting tryouts every day, 1:01:06.520 --> 1:01:08.160 and so what are you doing in that building to 1:01:08.360 --> 1:01:10.560 stand out on a consistent basis? 1:01:10.960 --> 1:01:12.040 So it's you know, I've. 1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:16.160 Built a routine being consistent and just being vocal and 1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:17.840 being a leader. And when you get your opportunity to 1:01:17.840 --> 1:01:19.480 make players make plays. That's the league about. The more 1:01:19.480 --> 1:01:21.160 plays you make, the longer you'll stay. The less plays 1:01:21.160 --> 1:01:22.840 you're make and I have to find something else to do. 1:01:23.560 --> 1:01:25.720 I introduced you off the top as a linebacker and 1:01:25.800 --> 1:01:28.640 special teams stand out right now. Pro Football Focus has 1:01:28.680 --> 1:01:32.600 you graded number eleven among all special teams players in 1:01:32.680 --> 1:01:35.760 the NFL so far this year. You've had several tackles 1:01:35.840 --> 1:01:39.000 and kick coverage in recent weeks. How much of special 1:01:39.080 --> 1:01:43.000 team's success is all out effort and how much is 1:01:43.120 --> 1:01:44.360 knowledge and technique? 1:01:45.240 --> 1:01:46.920 Well, I think you know it's a combination of both, 1:01:47.040 --> 1:01:50.240 but shout out, you know, Coach Daron coach Ben and 1:01:50.320 --> 1:01:51.600 you know, the guys in the unit. You know, I'm 1:01:51.640 --> 1:01:52.920 just the guy who's been lucky enough to have a 1:01:52.960 --> 1:01:55.480 couple of tackles these past few games. But it comes 1:01:55.520 --> 1:01:58.360 down to film study and just working hard. And you know, 1:01:58.600 --> 1:02:01.200 I think for a lot of you know, early on, 1:02:01.320 --> 1:02:02.640 you can kind of look at special teams as that 1:02:02.640 --> 1:02:03.920 I don't want to play special teams. I want to 1:02:03.920 --> 1:02:04.919 be a defensive I want to be off. 1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:05.200 With the guy. 1:02:05.280 --> 1:02:09.160 But it's just as important. It's it's just as fun 1:02:09.240 --> 1:02:11.880 and you know, guy's carve out roles doing that. So 1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:14.440 for me, like I told you, just being consistent and 1:02:14.560 --> 1:02:15.680 doing what I have to do to stay in a 1:02:15.720 --> 1:02:17.880 building and you know, getting the opportunity to play there 1:02:17.920 --> 1:02:20.439 and it's been nothing but good to me and kind 1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:22.360 of opened my eyes a little more, specially in the world. 1:02:22.400 --> 1:02:24.240 And I just thank my film setting things for being 1:02:24.240 --> 1:02:25.520 able to be in the right place at the right time. 1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:29.479 Maybe in a perfect world, you get drafted by a team, 1:02:29.840 --> 1:02:32.120 you spend a decade with that team, and that's your 1:02:32.240 --> 1:02:32.960 NFL career. 1:02:33.400 --> 1:02:34.640 That's not been the path for you. 1:02:35.000 --> 1:02:37.720 On the other hand, you've probably made hundreds of friends 1:02:37.800 --> 1:02:40.320 and the different teams you've been with, You've seen how 1:02:40.360 --> 1:02:43.280 it works in different places, you've lived in different cities. 1:02:43.560 --> 1:02:45.160 Have you enjoyed that part of your career. 1:02:45.520 --> 1:02:46.080 Absolutely. 1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:47.880 I don't think any of this for granted. 1:02:48.600 --> 1:02:52.480 I've made nothing but great relationships, and you know, just 1:02:52.720 --> 1:02:54.560 the people I've met along the way have been amazing, 1:02:54.600 --> 1:02:56.000 and that you know, there's people you met along the 1:02:56.040 --> 1:02:58.320 way who aren't amazing. But it's just part of the process. 1:02:58.640 --> 1:03:00.640 But I'd say the overall knowledge of game, just from 1:03:01.600 --> 1:03:04.080 the business side of it, how the NFL works, you 1:03:04.160 --> 1:03:06.200 know what locker rooms are like and things like that. 1:03:06.360 --> 1:03:09.200 I think it's kind of really helped me, you know, 1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:12.880 stay focused and stay grounded and things like that, and 1:03:13.160 --> 1:03:15.120 to really like it's been nothing but a blessing. 1:03:15.200 --> 1:03:16.400 Like I've loved this process. 1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:18.120 It's been hard. There's been days where I'm like, this 1:03:18.280 --> 1:03:19.959 is not it. This is the worst thing in the world, 1:03:20.000 --> 1:03:22.880 but it's you know, everything's turned the corner for me 1:03:23.000 --> 1:03:26.120 and I'm grateful for it. I came to this lead 1:03:26.160 --> 1:03:27.800 with no kids. I have two kids now, two beautiful 1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:29.520 kids who have now part of this process. My wife's 1:03:29.520 --> 1:03:31.680 part of the process. So it's been good for us. 1:03:31.720 --> 1:03:33.920 It's given us a different perspective, got to live in 1:03:33.920 --> 1:03:35.640 different areas of the country, which is cool, you know, 1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:37.160 being from New York, I only wanted to live in 1:03:37.160 --> 1:03:39.080 New York, so it was good I was able to 1:03:39.120 --> 1:03:41.600 branch out and do things like that. But it's been 1:03:41.640 --> 1:03:44.720 a blessing and I cherished every every place I've been 1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:46.840 at has been good for me and my family, and 1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:48.440 I'm just forever grateful. 1:03:48.920 --> 1:03:51.160 All right, a few wild card topics now for Joe 1:03:51.240 --> 1:03:55.160 Giles Harris. Since you mentioned having two kids, son, daughter, 1:03:55.360 --> 1:03:57.280 one of each, and what's your favorite thing about being 1:03:57.320 --> 1:03:57.600 a dad. 1:03:57.680 --> 1:03:59.360 My son is two years old and my daughter's one 1:03:59.440 --> 1:04:00.960 years old, and Breeze and. 1:04:01.200 --> 1:04:03.160 Uh, I think my favorite part of being the dad 1:04:03.200 --> 1:04:04.720 is coming home and hearing what they had to say 1:04:04.760 --> 1:04:05.880 about their day, and you know. 1:04:05.920 --> 1:04:07.040 What they did or what I did. 1:04:07.080 --> 1:04:08.880 And my son's at the age where he understands things 1:04:08.920 --> 1:04:11.480 now and wants to play football. So I get home 1:04:11.520 --> 1:04:12.920 and Dad, you didn't make a tackle the day, and 1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:14.480 I'm like, yeah, I know, I didn't make a tackle, Bunny. 1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:14.920 I'm trying. 1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:18.480 So just that part, but it's just coming home and 1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:21.720 you know, seeing there's something more important than whatever you 1:04:21.840 --> 1:04:24.880 got going on that day. So I love to My 1:04:25.000 --> 1:04:26.720 daughter runs to me every time I come to the house, 1:04:26.760 --> 1:04:28.360 whether it's because she was being bad that day or 1:04:28.480 --> 1:04:29.960 she just wants to see me. It is, you know, 1:04:30.080 --> 1:04:33.320 to be determined, but just seeing their face, seeing their smiles, 1:04:33.360 --> 1:04:35.440 and remember there's you know, there's people counting on me 1:04:36.440 --> 1:04:38.520 to be more than a football player, and I think 1:04:38.560 --> 1:04:39.560 that's the best part about it. 1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:43.280 You have a hyphenated last name, Giles Harris. Was that 1:04:43.480 --> 1:04:45.480 always the case or did you make that choice? 1:04:45.720 --> 1:04:46.760 That's been always the case. 1:04:47.240 --> 1:04:48.800 My mom and my dad neither want wanted to get 1:04:48.840 --> 1:04:52.400 up their last name, and it sounds great and it's 1:04:52.440 --> 1:04:55.000 original and when you see it, you know who I am. 1:04:55.200 --> 1:04:58.000 So the only people who have that last name are 1:04:58.040 --> 1:05:01.040 people blood related to me. So I think I think 1:05:01.080 --> 1:05:03.520 it's a blessing. It helps me stand out and it's unique. 1:05:03.600 --> 1:05:07.400 So I appreciate you referenced your brother JT. Earlier, a 1:05:07.480 --> 1:05:10.640 professional lacrosse player for the Denver Outlaws. He is a 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:13.440 three time All Star in the Premier Lacrosse League. Tell 1:05:13.520 --> 1:05:14.720 us a little bit about his career. 1:05:15.120 --> 1:05:17.080 Oh, well, my brother has been, you know, the best 1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:19.440 player at lacrosse in my opinion, and I know that 1:05:19.480 --> 1:05:21.040 probably doesn't care well because I live in the house. 1:05:21.080 --> 1:05:23.560 But he's been the best lacrosse player I've seen in 1:05:23.560 --> 1:05:26.080 a long time. He plays defense, you know, he played 1:05:26.080 --> 1:05:28.320 defense playing growing up, playing football and things like that, 1:05:28.400 --> 1:05:30.560 so kind of translated. But he's had, you know, a 1:05:30.640 --> 1:05:32.440 heck of probably a better career than I have had, 1:05:32.840 --> 1:05:34.720 to be honest. He you know, was a Defensive Player 1:05:34.720 --> 1:05:37.480 of the Year in college All American most of his 1:05:37.560 --> 1:05:39.200 time in college. I think he won Defensive Player of 1:05:39.240 --> 1:05:42.560 the Year already in the PLL. So he's just a study, 1:05:42.640 --> 1:05:45.440 handles his business. He approaches every day coming similar that 1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:48.000 I do, you know, just attack the day mentality, and 1:05:48.280 --> 1:05:50.760 he's he's just a competitor, like there's a fire in 1:05:50.840 --> 1:05:53.240 him and it burns and he's gonna get his job none. 1:05:53.120 --> 1:05:53.480 No matter what. 1:05:54.320 --> 1:05:56.680 Out there than football, What are you good at? 1:05:57.840 --> 1:05:58.160 Depends? 1:05:58.320 --> 1:06:03.160 Yes, I think I'm a pretty good basketball player of myself. Basketball, 1:06:03.320 --> 1:06:04.880 you know, and I like to just hang out. I'm 1:06:04.880 --> 1:06:07.040 a big I love to watch movies and do things 1:06:07.120 --> 1:06:10.240 like that. I love history, so I like to watch 1:06:10.280 --> 1:06:11.920 you know, the trivia stuff and like things like that 1:06:12.080 --> 1:06:14.680 and test my brain. But those are pretty much small things. 1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:15.720 I'm gonna all right. 1:06:15.920 --> 1:06:18.400 Final fun fact for Joe Giles Harris. This one's kind 1:06:18.440 --> 1:06:22.880 of deep. If you could meet anyone in history, living 1:06:23.320 --> 1:06:25.520 or deceased, who would that person be? 1:06:26.560 --> 1:06:29.040 I say, right now, off the top of my head, 1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:32.240 probably Barack Obama, And I would just you know, just 1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:34.040 want to pick his brain about you know, he was 1:06:34.320 --> 1:06:36.640 the first black president of the United States, and you know, 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:39.000 things he went through growing up and the things he 1:06:39.080 --> 1:06:41.400 went through as our president. So just to kind of 1:06:41.440 --> 1:06:43.240 pick his brain and see where he's at, you know, 1:06:43.280 --> 1:06:45.200 because it takes a strong person to you know, lead 1:06:45.280 --> 1:06:48.480 this country, and especially when you're the first of you know, 1:06:48.920 --> 1:06:51.439 a group to do that. So just pick his brain 1:06:51.600 --> 1:06:53.400 and you know, just get to know him. I think 1:06:53.400 --> 1:06:54.880 that would be probably the person I want to meet 1:06:54.880 --> 1:06:55.200 the most. 1:06:55.680 --> 1:06:57.600 This has been great. Appreciate your time. Best of like 1:06:57.680 --> 1:06:58.280 the rest of the year. 1:06:58.360 --> 1:06:58.640 Thank you. 1:06:58.680 --> 1:06:59.320 I appreciate it. 1:07:00.080 --> 1:07:03.479 The very articulate Joe Giles Harris again a guy doing 1:07:03.560 --> 1:07:06.520 a terrific job as a special team's ace this year. 1:07:07.200 --> 1:07:10.560 He really has been, and when you listen to him, 1:07:12.040 --> 1:07:14.920 you have to be impressed with his overall intelligence. I mean, 1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:18.400 this guy is got an IQ now not just football 1:07:18.480 --> 1:07:20.480 like you. He does have a great football like you. 1:07:20.600 --> 1:07:24.720 The coaches say that he's Menza from a football IQ standpoint, 1:07:24.800 --> 1:07:28.120 But man, he knows a lot about a lot of things, 1:07:28.200 --> 1:07:32.480 and he is well read. He's the kind of guy 1:07:32.560 --> 1:07:35.800 that the Bengals like to have on the roster. Just 1:07:35.920 --> 1:07:39.160 a good human being, a good person. And Zach puts 1:07:39.200 --> 1:07:42.520 a big emphasis on that. And the coaches do you know, 1:07:43.080 --> 1:07:45.400 they want guys that are going to be part of 1:07:45.480 --> 1:07:49.440 the part of the reason for the success, not somebody. 1:07:49.520 --> 1:07:52.120 They don't want anybody to infiltrate and tear it down. 1:07:53.320 --> 1:07:55.960 So I think they're ahead in the right direction, and 1:07:56.040 --> 1:07:58.240 I think they're going to get there faster than people think. 1:07:58.680 --> 1:08:00.760 All right, well take a time out. When we come back, 1:08:00.800 --> 1:08:04.920 we'll hear from t Higgins, who bounced back from concussion 1:08:05.000 --> 1:08:07.680 protocol with a big performance last week for the Bengals 1:08:08.040 --> 1:08:10.600 in their win in Miami. This is the Bengals pep 1:08:10.720 --> 1:08:14.439 Rally Show, presented each week by Just Bear Chicken, live 1:08:14.480 --> 1:08:16.519 from the on the Rhine Eatery the food Haul above 1:08:16.560 --> 1:08:22.840 the downtown Kroger here on ESPN fifteen thirty first and 1:08:22.960 --> 1:08:25.679 goal from the nine for Cincinnati Burrow in the gun 1:08:25.800 --> 1:08:28.920 back at the fourteen Chase Brown off his right hip. 1:08:29.200 --> 1:08:31.960 Burrow catches the shot gun snap, looking right, throws into 1:08:32.000 --> 1:08:37.600 the end zone for Higgins. He's done it. Touchdown Bengals. 1:08:38.000 --> 1:08:41.840 T Higgins, with a great adjustment to the ball, then 1:08:41.960 --> 1:08:45.759 drops to his knees and praise to a higher power 1:08:46.160 --> 1:08:49.599 after making a great catch on that throw from Joe Burrow. 1:08:49.800 --> 1:08:50.920 Unbelievable play by T. 1:08:51.120 --> 1:08:51.439 Higgins. 1:08:51.479 --> 1:08:54.400 He showed everything. He showed his size, he showed his athleticism, 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:55.880 he showed his soft hand. 1:08:57.040 --> 1:08:59.040 Dan Horden, Dave Lapp him back in the Bengals pep 1:08:59.160 --> 1:09:01.920 rally show present by Just the Bare Chick, and we 1:09:02.000 --> 1:09:05.160 can understand why T. Higgins dropped to his knees and 1:09:05.320 --> 1:09:08.840 pointed toward the heavens after that touchdown catch. Last week 1:09:08.920 --> 1:09:12.880 in Miami, he suffered a concussion in the New England game, 1:09:12.960 --> 1:09:17.040 missed the following game against Baltimore. In the Buffalo game 1:09:17.080 --> 1:09:19.800 the week after that, his head banged down on that 1:09:19.960 --> 1:09:23.160 frozen turf in Buffalo several times, and while he was 1:09:23.240 --> 1:09:26.080 not diagnosed with a concussion during the game, he had 1:09:26.120 --> 1:09:29.800 some symptoms in the following days. Missed the next game 1:09:29.840 --> 1:09:33.679 after that, also against Baltimore, So this past week, after 1:09:34.000 --> 1:09:36.640 going through concussion protocol, I thought the Bengals did a 1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:40.240 great thing for t Higgins. They flew him to Pittsburgh 1:09:40.280 --> 1:09:43.440 to see one of the world's foremost authorities on concussions, 1:09:43.840 --> 1:09:46.840 made sure that he was a peace of mind to 1:09:46.960 --> 1:09:51.439 come back from such a serious injury. This concussion renowned 1:09:51.479 --> 1:09:55.000 specialist signed off and assured Tea that he was fine 1:09:55.000 --> 1:09:56.960 and was going to be fine to play. So he 1:09:57.040 --> 1:10:00.160 took the field against Miami. He played great. It was 1:10:00.160 --> 1:10:03.040 awesome to see. Here's what he had to say about 1:10:03.080 --> 1:10:03.840 it after the game. 1:10:04.400 --> 1:10:05.160 You know, the bring injury. 1:10:05.200 --> 1:10:07.040 There's nothing that's nothing to play with as serious, and 1:10:07.400 --> 1:10:09.479 it confects you in a long time, you know. I mean, 1:10:09.560 --> 1:10:13.000 so I see every everything everybody's saying it. I should say, 1:10:13.040 --> 1:10:15.839 I see all that, but I want to see a specialist, 1:10:15.920 --> 1:10:17.840 and especially said it was okay for me to, you know, 1:10:17.920 --> 1:10:19.000 go back out there and play my game. 1:10:19.040 --> 1:10:19.720 And that's what I think. 1:10:19.720 --> 1:10:23.000 That's what I did. He was limited in practice by 1:10:23.080 --> 1:10:26.640 and large last week as he came through concussion protocol. 1:10:26.760 --> 1:10:29.080 Then it was on Thursday morning that he flew to 1:10:29.120 --> 1:10:33.320 Pittsburgh first thing in the morning, saw this specialist. They 1:10:33.360 --> 1:10:34.760 didn't even know if he was going to be back 1:10:34.800 --> 1:10:37.320 at practice. He was back in the building practicing that day. 1:10:38.200 --> 1:10:41.120 It's a great thing that the Bengals organization did for 1:10:41.200 --> 1:10:41.599 a player. 1:10:41.760 --> 1:10:42.560 I mean, it really is. 1:10:43.479 --> 1:10:47.560 Concussions are no joke. I mean, the Players Association is 1:10:47.760 --> 1:10:51.320 always doing everything they possibly can to make sure the 1:10:51.400 --> 1:10:55.360 concussion protocols are first rate, they're. 1:10:55.240 --> 1:10:55.840 Up to speed. 1:10:58.040 --> 1:11:02.960 Concussions are the big fear of the Union, the Players Association, 1:11:03.760 --> 1:11:07.680 because if a player suffers too many of them, it 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:11.320 can be a bad life after football, and you know, 1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:14.479 tragedy you don't even want to think about after football. 1:11:14.640 --> 1:11:20.160 So the fact that the Bengals feel that way about 1:11:20.200 --> 1:11:23.600 t Higgins, that look, you're a priority. We want to 1:11:23.640 --> 1:11:26.840 make sure that you feel good about going out there 1:11:26.880 --> 1:11:29.439 and playing football. We don't want you to be unsure 1:11:29.520 --> 1:11:31.720 we didn't. We don't want you to think, oh, the 1:11:31.800 --> 1:11:35.360 Bengals organizations forcing me out there, you know, against my will. 1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:40.439 So I think that it's it's good for the Bengals, 1:11:40.479 --> 1:11:42.479 it's good for the National Football League, it's good for 1:11:42.560 --> 1:11:45.400 the Players Association. I think the Bengals got a really 1:11:45.439 --> 1:11:46.760 good example this past week. 1:11:47.200 --> 1:11:49.960 T Higgins has never played in a Pro Bowl, but 1:11:50.200 --> 1:11:53.400 he is a first alternate this year. Jamaar Chase, of 1:11:53.439 --> 1:11:55.599 course is five for five and going to the Pro Bowl, 1:11:55.640 --> 1:11:58.080 but he is a first alternate. So if one of 1:11:58.120 --> 1:12:01.720 the wide receivers picked goes to the Super Bowl or 1:12:01.800 --> 1:12:04.720 comes down with an injury, t would be the next 1:12:04.800 --> 1:12:07.080 man up. And it would be awesome to see both 1:12:07.720 --> 1:12:11.120 Bengals wide receivers participate in the Pro Bowl games this year. 1:12:11.360 --> 1:12:14.839 It really would. I mean, that's a what a compliment, 1:12:15.200 --> 1:12:18.080 what a compliment to the Bengals organization, the head coach 1:12:18.200 --> 1:12:20.880 Zac Taylor to the receiver coach Troy Walters. I mean, 1:12:21.160 --> 1:12:24.559 when you've got two, not just one, you've got two 1:12:25.200 --> 1:12:27.479 from your position group, and then you know you don't 1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:31.200 suit out a gazillion wide receivers every game. So when 1:12:31.320 --> 1:12:33.400 you've got two that are playing at that high a level, 1:12:34.280 --> 1:12:39.439 that's a reflection, a positive reflection on everybody involved, the coaches, 1:12:39.520 --> 1:12:44.040 the players, the organization. It's a win for everybody. 1:12:44.439 --> 1:12:48.320 The three wide receivers other than Jamar Chase who are 1:12:48.400 --> 1:12:52.120 named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster or Nicocollins from Houston, 1:12:52.560 --> 1:12:57.120 Zay Flowers from Baltimore, Courtland Sutton from Denver. Denver could 1:12:57.120 --> 1:12:59.559 certainly go into the go to the Super Bowl. They'll 1:12:59.560 --> 1:13:02.200 be one of the favorites in the postseason. Houston's been 1:13:02.240 --> 1:13:05.240 playing extremely well of late. Wouldn't rule it out. Baltimore 1:13:05.320 --> 1:13:07.479 seems like a long shot. But you know, maybe one 1:13:07.520 --> 1:13:09.760 of those guys will not be able to make it 1:13:09.840 --> 1:13:12.680 to the Pro Bowl games and T will get that opportunity. Yeah. 1:13:12.720 --> 1:13:14.680 Then, and T he deserves it. 1:13:14.880 --> 1:13:18.640 I mean, there's no question that he has played this 1:13:18.840 --> 1:13:23.400 season like a Pro Bowler, you know, in every sense 1:13:23.439 --> 1:13:23.840 of the word. 1:13:24.439 --> 1:13:26.840 And I think T. 1:13:27.080 --> 1:13:32.519 Higgins is all about his football team. It's not about him. 1:13:32.600 --> 1:13:37.240 It's not about individual glory, it's not about individual awards. 1:13:37.680 --> 1:13:39.759 T Higgins is all about winning Super Bowls. 1:13:40.920 --> 1:13:42.720 All Right, We're gonna take a time out when we 1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:45.400 come back, we will stick with the Pro Bowl as 1:13:45.439 --> 1:13:48.439 our theme and talk about the Bengals player who really 1:13:48.600 --> 1:13:52.040 can be described as a Pro Bowl snub this year. 1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:55.160 You're listening to the Bengals pep Rally Show presented by 1:13:55.520 --> 1:13:58.280 Just Bear Chicken live from the on the Rhine Eatery 1:13:58.400 --> 1:14:08.519 on ESPN fifteen thirty Lapping the bald Man back on 1:14:08.640 --> 1:14:11.960 the Bengals pep Rally show presented by Just Fair Chicken, 1:14:12.040 --> 1:14:13.880 live from the on the Ryan Eatery, the food haul 1:14:13.920 --> 1:14:17.639 above the downtown Kroger intersection of Court and Walnut. We're 1:14:17.640 --> 1:14:19.960 here until six o'clock tonight and come up in about 1:14:20.040 --> 1:14:23.000 fifteen minutes or so. Will be joined by starting left 1:14:23.040 --> 1:14:26.439 guard Dylan Fairchild, who will spend the final hour of 1:14:26.520 --> 1:14:29.400 the show with us. He's at the on the Ryane Eatery. 1:14:29.479 --> 1:14:31.479 We're talking about the Pro Bowl. A few minutes ago. 1:14:31.600 --> 1:14:34.080 Jamar Chase has been selected for the fifth time in 1:14:34.320 --> 1:14:37.640 five years to begin his NFL career. AJ Green is 1:14:37.680 --> 1:14:40.479 the only other player in franchise history that went five 1:14:40.560 --> 1:14:43.400 for five to begin his career. The Bengals also have 1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:47.200 some alternates. We mentioned the T Higgins is a first alternate, 1:14:47.560 --> 1:14:50.599 so if one guy's out, he would be in. Charlie 1:14:50.720 --> 1:14:53.640 Jones is a fifth alternate as a kick returner, so 1:14:54.080 --> 1:14:56.720 it's probably unlikely that he will move up that far 1:14:56.800 --> 1:14:57.519 to get into the game. 1:14:57.680 --> 1:14:57.800 Right. 1:14:58.040 --> 1:15:01.200 Then you have DJ Turner. He is a third alternate, 1:15:01.280 --> 1:15:03.360 so a couple of guys would have to miss for 1:15:03.560 --> 1:15:06.439 Dj to get in. We've been talking about him as 1:15:06.479 --> 1:15:09.920 a deserving candidate for several weeks tied for the NFL 1:15:10.040 --> 1:15:13.280 lead and passes defense. He has been covering the other 1:15:13.360 --> 1:15:16.680 team's number one receiver and those guys typically have not 1:15:16.880 --> 1:15:21.080 had big games against Cincinnati. Here's Joe Burrow making the 1:15:21.200 --> 1:15:23.320 case for his teammate DJ Turner. 1:15:23.680 --> 1:15:25.080 I thought j should have been the Pro Bowl. 1:15:25.120 --> 1:15:27.479 But you know, I told him the other day. Usually 1:15:27.520 --> 1:15:30.040 the first year that you should make it, you're typically 1:15:30.080 --> 1:15:31.880 an ultimate, and then if you stack that year, they 1:15:31.960 --> 1:15:33.599 usually give it to you the next year. That's happened 1:15:34.080 --> 1:15:36.639 to me in a couple kind of see that across 1:15:36.680 --> 1:15:37.439 the league a little bit. 1:15:38.680 --> 1:15:41.519 So that is often how it works. You don't get 1:15:41.600 --> 1:15:44.200 in the first time you're an alternate. Your name starts 1:15:44.240 --> 1:15:46.599 to get out there as a quote unquote Pro bowler, 1:15:46.960 --> 1:15:49.200 and then you make it, and maybe you keep making 1:15:49.280 --> 1:15:51.920 it past the point right where you deserve to make it. 1:15:52.040 --> 1:15:54.720 Denzel Ward, at least statistically, is not having a good 1:15:54.800 --> 1:15:59.479 year for clevelandy Football Focus grades. But he's going and 1:16:00.080 --> 1:16:03.439 certainly for much of his career he's been tremendous, but 1:16:03.680 --> 1:16:06.120 maybe this year he is not one of the top 1:16:06.200 --> 1:16:07.160 corners in the AFC. 1:16:07.439 --> 1:16:09.720 Yeah, agreed, Dan, you know, and I think the thing 1:16:09.800 --> 1:16:13.280 about paternat. To keep in mind is he's been put 1:16:13.439 --> 1:16:16.920 he's the number one guy, he's their shutdown guy. He's 1:16:16.960 --> 1:16:20.040 been on the other team's best weapon, the best receiver. 1:16:20.800 --> 1:16:23.040 So he's had a lot of activity, you know, and 1:16:23.160 --> 1:16:25.960 he and he's stepped up. He's had an opportunity to 1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:28.040 defend a lot of passes. But a lot of guys 1:16:28.120 --> 1:16:30.439 have a lot of opportunity, they don't do it. He 1:16:31.080 --> 1:16:33.719 rose to the occasion and he defended a lot of passes. 1:16:33.800 --> 1:16:35.720 He had a lot of passes broken up, a lot 1:16:35.760 --> 1:16:40.280 of passes knocked down. That that's valuable. I mean, that's 1:16:40.400 --> 1:16:44.720 that's discouraging to a quarterback when jeez, this guy, I 1:16:44.800 --> 1:16:47.479 mean he is sticky out there. I might have to 1:16:47.520 --> 1:16:50.600 stay away from him. That is about as big a 1:16:50.840 --> 1:16:53.280 contribution as you can make as anything. It's like you 1:16:53.400 --> 1:16:57.040 take away that that weapon from the from the quarterback. 1:16:57.280 --> 1:16:59.280 It's like she's I'm gonna have to wait for another 1:16:59.360 --> 1:17:02.000 day to get the ball to my number one guy. 1:17:02.120 --> 1:17:04.320 So and so it's not happening to say because this 1:17:04.479 --> 1:17:07.040 DJ Turner is everything we thought he was when we 1:17:07.120 --> 1:17:09.599 were watching tape. This guy's the real deal. This guy's 1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:13.599 a Pro Bowl caliber player that is invaluable to take 1:17:13.640 --> 1:17:17.200 away the other team's number one receiving weapon. 1:17:17.920 --> 1:17:21.559 We've talked about the twenty twenty three draft. That's looking 1:17:21.640 --> 1:17:24.679 better and better all the time for Cincinnati. Miles Murphy 1:17:24.880 --> 1:17:28.479 in round one, that one was, you know, looking like 1:17:28.600 --> 1:17:31.719 a potential bust and now not meymore. He's really emerged 1:17:32.080 --> 1:17:36.240 as a solid, if not spectacular player defensive end. DJ 1:17:36.400 --> 1:17:39.200 Turner looks like he might be a star. Jordan Battle 1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:42.000 has really been playing well in recent weeks. Chase Brown 1:17:42.439 --> 1:17:45.240 has been excellent now for a couple of years. Andre 1:17:45.400 --> 1:17:48.880 Yosi Vash has certainly productive player for a sixth round pick. 1:17:49.160 --> 1:17:53.440 Dj Ivy is good as a cover the tight end specialist. 1:17:53.840 --> 1:17:56.240 So that draft, pretty much top to bottom, is panning 1:17:56.280 --> 1:17:57.400 out well for Cincinnati. 1:17:57.760 --> 1:17:58.800 And at the end of this. 1:17:59.000 --> 1:18:01.960 Season, now that those guys have three years in the league, 1:18:02.240 --> 1:18:06.200 the Bengals are allowed to begin extending those players if 1:18:06.240 --> 1:18:06.559 they can. 1:18:07.000 --> 1:18:10.960 Yeah, and uh Duke Tobin and his scouts and the 1:18:11.120 --> 1:18:13.240 organization take a bow. I mean that that was a 1:18:13.439 --> 1:18:16.880 solid draft. There's no question you drafted a Pro Bowl 1:18:16.960 --> 1:18:19.519 caliber player and DJ Turner, and you got a lot 1:18:19.560 --> 1:18:22.960 of guys that form an extraordinary supporting cast. I mean, 1:18:23.800 --> 1:18:26.679 these guys, like we talked about earlier, You're not gonna 1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:30.160 have eleven Pro Bowlers on your offensive a defensive football team. 1:18:30.240 --> 1:18:34.760 That's that's pipe tream, that's a that's impossible, that's an 1:18:34.920 --> 1:18:39.600 unrealistic goal or accomplishment. But if you can have, you know, 1:18:39.720 --> 1:18:43.880 two or three guys that are when you get them 1:18:43.920 --> 1:18:46.559 on the football field, well better than I thought they were. 1:18:46.840 --> 1:18:49.800 I mean, we unearthed some some diamonds in the rough 1:18:49.880 --> 1:18:52.840 here and they can they can really get it done. 1:18:52.880 --> 1:18:56.400 They can play football. If you every other round, if 1:18:56.439 --> 1:18:59.640 you get a solid player, you're gonna have a good 1:18:59.640 --> 1:19:02.519 football team. If you do that two or three drafts 1:19:02.520 --> 1:19:04.920 in a row, you're gonna be really good. You're gonna 1:19:04.920 --> 1:19:07.400 be a playoff caliber team. You're gonna be a playoff 1:19:07.479 --> 1:19:09.160 caliber team for more than one season. 1:19:09.960 --> 1:19:12.040 All Right, we're gonna take a time out. When we 1:19:12.240 --> 1:19:15.400 come back, we'll talk about one of the most remarkable 1:19:15.520 --> 1:19:18.439 players that will come to town with the Arizona Cardinals. 1:19:18.640 --> 1:19:21.280 This Sunday, you're listening to the Bengals pep Rally Show 1:19:21.360 --> 1:19:24.479 presented by Just Bear Chicken live from the on the 1:19:24.560 --> 1:19:28.559 Rhine Eatery here in downtown Cincinnati. Telling Fairchild will join 1:19:28.640 --> 1:19:37.760 us shortly. On ESPN fifteen thirty, we are back on 1:19:37.800 --> 1:19:41.040 the Bengals pep Rally Show presented by Just Bear Chicken, 1:19:41.200 --> 1:19:43.400 live from the on the Rhine Eatery, the food hull 1:19:43.479 --> 1:19:46.439 above the downtown Kroger. It's a Friday afternoon. If you 1:19:46.640 --> 1:19:49.160 had to work today, the day after Christmas, well, the 1:19:49.200 --> 1:19:51.960 workday is almost finished. Come out and join us at 1:19:52.000 --> 1:19:55.719 a full service bar, plenty of inexpensive eateries. We think 1:19:56.040 --> 1:19:59.479 the best dry rubbed chicken wings in down. We've had 1:19:59.520 --> 1:20:01.519 more than I share during the course of this year. 1:20:01.880 --> 1:20:04.759 We're here until six o'clock tonight. Dylan Fairchild, the Bengals 1:20:04.840 --> 1:20:08.879 rookie offensive lineman, will be joining us shortly. The Arizona 1:20:09.000 --> 1:20:12.559 Cardinals a struggling team coming to town on Sunday. They've 1:20:12.640 --> 1:20:15.040 dropped twelve out of their last thirteen. They've got a 1:20:15.120 --> 1:20:18.200 seven game losing streak coming into the game. But they've 1:20:18.240 --> 1:20:20.920 got one guy, now more than one, but one in 1:20:21.040 --> 1:20:23.680 particular that I have a tremendous amount of respect for, 1:20:23.880 --> 1:20:29.799 and that is thirty nine year old defensive tackle Kalais Campbell. 1:20:30.000 --> 1:20:34.560 You generally don't last that long at that position. But 1:20:34.720 --> 1:20:38.879 this guy is highly unusual. He's six' eight playing defensive, 1:20:38.960 --> 1:20:42.040 tackle three hundred and fifteen, pounds one of the all 1:20:42.200 --> 1:20:46.280 TIME nfl leaders in blocked. Kicks he's got ten block 1:20:46.320 --> 1:20:49.240 field goals in his, career blocked an extra point last, 1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:52.640 week blocked a field goal the week, before been to 1:20:52.720 --> 1:20:56.040 The Pro bowl six. Times still playing well at his. 1:20:56.160 --> 1:20:59.400 Age Pro Football focus as him grated as the twenty 1:20:59.520 --> 1:21:03.519 eighth asked interior defensive lineman in THE nfl this. Year 1:21:03.880 --> 1:21:08.120 let's hear from offensive Coordinator Dan pitcher on the challenge 1:21:08.160 --> 1:21:09.840 of trying to Block Kalais. 1:21:10.120 --> 1:21:13.599 Campbell he's a mountain of a, Man BUT i mean 1:21:13.800 --> 1:21:19.439 to play a, position a physically taxing position like defensive 1:21:19.479 --> 1:21:22.160 tackle the way he has for as long as he's played, 1:21:22.160 --> 1:21:26.800 it and just somebody who's, rarely rarely gifted. Physically and 1:21:27.200 --> 1:21:30.439 Then i've never had the chance to really meet him 1:21:30.479 --> 1:21:32.360 or interact with, him But i've talked to a lot 1:21:32.400 --> 1:21:34.880 of people who have players who have been on teams with, 1:21:35.000 --> 1:21:36.920 him and you, know you kind of view him from 1:21:36.960 --> 1:21:40.519 the outside and he just looks, like you, know just 1:21:40.600 --> 1:21:44.240 a really high character guy with obviously tremendous work ethic 1:21:44.360 --> 1:21:47.320 and competitiveness to still be doing it at the World 1:21:47.400 --> 1:21:47.920 he's doing. 1:21:47.800 --> 1:21:49.040 It so that'll be a. 1:21:49.120 --> 1:21:49.439 Challenge. 1:21:50.160 --> 1:21:53.080 Lap one of the players from your draft Was Ed 1:21:53.200 --> 1:21:55.400 Too Tall. Jones he was the first pick in your. 1:21:55.479 --> 1:21:58.519 Draft Kalas campbell's kind of a modern version Of Ed 1:21:58.600 --> 1:21:58.960 Too Tall. 1:21:59.080 --> 1:22:01.880 JONES i think that's a comparison Because Too tall was six,' 1:22:02.000 --> 1:22:06.479 eight Just Like klayis CAMPBELL and i played against him 1:22:06.640 --> 1:22:09.000 in some of The College all. Star games actually he 1:22:09.080 --> 1:22:13.760 was a teammate In The East West, shrine game and 1:22:13.840 --> 1:22:17.360 then we were on opposite teams In The. Senior bowl, 1:22:18.000 --> 1:22:21.000 and man just blocking, the guy it was like trying 1:22:21.000 --> 1:22:21.959 to block, an octopus. 1:22:22.040 --> 1:22:22.880 YOU know i mean he was. 1:22:23.000 --> 1:22:25.639 SO long i mean it was.

Me of that type. 1:22:41.360 --> 1:22:45.759 Of Guy too tall played end. And tackle campbell's pretty 1:22:45.840 --> 1:22:50.240 much a. Defensive tackle and we're joined Now By.

MANY ways i think the FIRST 1:43:34.479 --> 1:43:36.120 thing i got to talk about is just like the 1:43:36.200 --> 1:43:36.800 mental side. 1:43:36.840 --> 1:43:39.519 Of it wrestling is a. Hard sport it's a. Gritty 1:43:39.560 --> 1:43:41.960 sport and football, is too, you know especially IN. The 1:43:42.080 --> 1:43:45.240 nfl it's a, long SEASON and i find myself many 1:43:45.280 --> 1:43:48.240 times just going back and thinking about like my, days wrestling, 1:43:48.280 --> 1:43:50.080 you know like how many SUNDAYS did i not want 1:43:50.160 --> 1:43:53.360 to go to practice or, you know do the hard 1:43:53.439 --> 1:43:54.720 things that you got? To do how many times do 1:43:54.760 --> 1:43:57.519 you want to drink water when. You can't so again 1:43:57.640 --> 1:44:01.360 like just going back to those those days and mentally 1:44:01.400 --> 1:44:03.519 it's just been it's been really good, for me. YOU 1:44:03.600 --> 1:44:05.920 know i think that is probably the number one thing 1:44:06.640 --> 1:44:08.880 that it does for a human is just make you, 1:44:08.960 --> 1:44:14.000 mentally tough makes you resilient to. Just life, you know 1:44:14.160 --> 1:44:18.200 life is life is random and. It's hard so it's 1:44:18.320 --> 1:44:19.800 it definitely taught me a lot of lessons in. That 1:44:19.920 --> 1:44:23.760 regard and another thing is, just leverage, you know using your, 1:44:23.920 --> 1:44:27.600 your hips your, your shoulders, your hands like understanding the 1:44:27.680 --> 1:44:31.479 feel of, you know the balance it takes to just 1:44:31.520 --> 1:44:33.880 be an you know lap can attest to like it's 1:44:34.400 --> 1:44:36.840 you got to, be balanced especially in. Pass pro, you 1:44:36.960 --> 1:44:39.800 know you can't run blocking to you can't get to, 1:44:39.960 --> 1:44:42.560 head heavy, you know pass per you can't get to 1:44:43.040 --> 1:44:46.960 head heavy and you're battling in the trenches with these big, 1:44:47.560 --> 1:44:49.840 giant freaks, you know so you've got to be able 1:44:49.880 --> 1:44:52.759 to use, your leverage use your natural strength. 1:44:52.840 --> 1:44:55.240 And ability so wrestling definitely taught me that. For sure 1:44:55.640 --> 1:44:58.920 how did wrestling make you a better? Football player what 1:44:59.040 --> 1:45:02.040 were the things that you took from wrestling in maybe 1:45:02.520 --> 1:45:05.000 the mental physical toughness story and. THE conditioning i mean. 1:45:05.600 --> 1:45:09.120 GET wrestlers I MEAN i i mean not watching them 1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:11.519 in high school and watching them, In, college like these 1:45:11.560 --> 1:45:14.960 guys are just. UNBELIEVABLY committed i DON'T think i could 1:45:15.000 --> 1:45:18.280 do everything these guys do to make sure that they're 1:45:18.360 --> 1:45:20.439 able to wrestle on a. Weekly basis, you know it's 1:45:20.479 --> 1:45:23.679 like it's. It's unbelievable where does that commitment? 1:45:23.760 --> 1:45:23.880 Come? 1:45:23.920 --> 1:45:24.080 From? 1:45:24.160 --> 1:45:27.120 What what what's where does that desire? Come from and 1:45:27.240 --> 1:45:29.599 how did wrestling help you become a better? 1:45:29.640 --> 1:45:32.240 FOOTBALL player, I mean i think IT'S just i, did it, 1:45:32.720 --> 1:45:35.960 you KNOW since i was five.

The bengals Play. 1:58:05.360 --> 1:58:07.080 Twin Orlando and ted has been really good. 1:58:07.120 --> 1:58:11.600 For him played with really good physicality and, you know 1:58:11.720 --> 1:58:13.200 seeing a lot of stuff over the course of, the 1:58:13.280 --> 1:58:15.880 season being able to, be AVAILABLE and i think he's 1:58:15.880 --> 1:58:16.240 got a really. 1:58:16.280 --> 1:58:20.040 High ceiling but it's gratifying after spending, you know close 1:58:20.080 --> 1:58:22.960 to a year with him that he's the person that 1:58:23.120 --> 1:58:26.040 we thought we, were getting because that's that's always such 1:58:26.040 --> 1:58:30.640 a critical element when when it comes to, player acquisition is, 1:58:30.880 --> 1:58:32.480 you know not only the player on, the field but 1:58:32.600 --> 1:58:34.240 the person and are they made of the? 1:58:34.320 --> 1:58:36.600 Right things are they going to be able to?

Been confirmed and now it's 1:58:49.760 --> 1:58:52.760 just about the hard day, to day week, to week 1:58:52.880 --> 1:58:55.000 year to year work to become the best player he. 1:58:55.080 --> 1:58:58.480 Can BE but i think he's got a very bright 1:58:58.560 --> 1:59:00.920 future and he'll be a really good starting guard in 1:59:00.960 --> 1:59:01.400 this league for a. 1:59:01.440 --> 1:59:05.040 Long time telling you strike me as somebody who enjoys? 1:59:05.080 --> 1:59:06.000 The grind is? 1:59:06.080 --> 1:59:06.120 That? 1:59:06.240 --> 1:59:09.960 Accurate, absolutely, Yeah ABSOLUTELY and i mean that's exactly What 1:59:10.200 --> 1:59:13.440 coach pitch, was saying was just it's about what you 1:59:13.520 --> 1:59:13.880 do day. 1:59:13.880 --> 1:59:16.600 To day, you know year to year is, big picture 1:59:16.680 --> 1:59:18.680 but you, know again like the day to day thing is. 1:59:19.360 --> 1:59:23.440 Is huge, So absolutely is there anybody on the on 1:59:23.560 --> 1:59:28.280 the current roster With the bengals did that's an example in, 1:59:28.400 --> 1:59:31.520 That regard that's a positive one that you.
