10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: yesterday and wrap up the season on a Monday where

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: we dissect twenty to eighteen finally lost to the Cleveland

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: Browns which closes the season at six and eleven, and today, boy, emotionally,

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 2: there were moments in that game in the first half,

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: I thought what is going on in this game?

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: Right?

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: And then there were moments is Burrow leads him down

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 2: the field of his chase as I'll be dad, They're

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: going to win this thing. And then Shador Sanders does

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: what I didn't think he was capable of doing and

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: marches him down the field, and I thought, well, it

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: is kind of fitting that all the elements, all the ingredients,

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: all the symptoms of this season through the first sixteen

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: weeks are kind of stirred together, and we saw them

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: all pop up at various times, and unfortunately, a twenty

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: to eighteen loss.

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 4: A twenty to eighteen loss, and Zach basically, I'm loose

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 4: interpretation here of what he said, but it was like, hey,

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 4: you get what you earn and deserve, you know, I mean,

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: we never put that game away. We turned the football over,

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 4: we allowed them to score two defensive touchdowns. Shouldn't have

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: won that football game. And we didn't win the football

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 4: game as a result of our mistakes, you know, turnovers,

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: not efficient enough on third down. If they didn't turn

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: the football over and they scored on the possessions that

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: they gave them with turnovers, who knows what the final

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: score of this football game could have been. The Cleveland

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: Browns are below average as a football team. There's no

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: question about that. The Cincinnati Bengals had done well. I mean,

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: they were they were looking to finish with a three

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: game winning streak, they were looking to finish Foreign Tune

41
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: Division and all that went by the boards, and it's

42
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: their own doing that. They self destructed.

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: Here is Zach Taylor with Dave after the game for

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: immediate reaction.

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 5: It's a tough ending for us, you know, to lose

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 5: a divisional game versus arrival at home, this is challenging,

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 5: and we had our opportunities and we didn't make it happen.

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: You you were in the stadium was pretty well rocking.

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: Uh stadium did a did a pretty nice job. Fans

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 4: showed up Cleveland. Some Cleveland fans obviously traveled down from Cleveland,

51
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: but I mean people showed up for this football game.

52
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: Battle of Ohio. It's always big and it was part

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: two of the Battle of Ohio. What do you think

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: was the biggest reason that fell a little bit short?

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 5: Well, the two turners touchdowns obviously don't don't help, because

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 5: our defense really did a nice job.

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 6: They kept him to six points.

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 5: Two field goals created turnover and and so that that

59
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 5: parts frustrating to have two extra points I go away

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 5: and have two turnovers for touchdowns.

61
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 6: That's that's a that's a really tough way to lose.

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: This is going to be a statistical anomaly this game.

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: I mean it'll be for the season. I don't think

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: there's anything quite like this football game that anybody else

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: may have experienced this year. I don't think I've ever

66
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: seen anything like it in the years that I've been,

67
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: you know, playing in broadcasting for the Cincinnati Bengals. I

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: mean it, it's it's it's a shame. But you know,

69
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: the thing that it proved to me is what I

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 4: think is the most impressive thing I take away from

71
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: from this season is this football team never quits. They

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: have never say die attitude. There are a bunch of

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 4: good people out there and good football players as well.

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, two things can be true. We can have a

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 5: disappointing season. I still be really proud of our guys,

76
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: go to battle with them any day. And we got

77
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 5: to work hard this offseason. We got to work hard

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: the soft season. We got to get ourselves back to

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 5: being meaningful conversations, playing meaningful games, because this hurt. You know,

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 5: to be done a week eighteen and have to watch

81
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 5: everybody else play and be out of it is not

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: in our dna, and we're gonna find like hell to

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: get back in it.

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: This is always a tough time because as a head coach,

85
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: it's the last time you addressed this football team with

86
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: this coaching staff. There could be changes within the coaching staff,

87
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: within the player roster, whatever the case may be. I

88
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: do know from playing experience and that from one year

89
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: to the next, there's going to be some different faces

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: in the locker room.

91
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how it goes. You know, That's life in

92
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: the NFL and doesn't mean I don't enjoy going to

93
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 5: battle with all these guys and understanding that things will

94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: change that. Everybody knows that, and we'll just keep working

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 5: through it.

96
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: What do you think is the is the most necessary

97
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: component for you to add for this football team to

98
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: be a playoff caliber team.

99
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's just that's just part of what

100
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: we'll go through in the offseason and make sure we're

101
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 5: putting our best foot forward.

102
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: That's what people don't realize and understand is in the offseason,

103
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: all the study that goes into evaluating the prior season,

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: evaluating talent that might be available to you in the

105
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: upcoming draft, looking at free agents in the National Football

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 4: League that might be available to you. There's a lot

107
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: that goes on, isn't there.

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, And there's a lot that Well there's a time

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 5: and place for all that, you know, So we'll decompress,

110
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 5: wrap up this season tomorrow with these guys, make sure

111
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 5: we finish all that the right way, and then you

112
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: move to the next phase of you know, getting you

113
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 5: FOOTBA team right for twenty twenty six, and we'll spend

114
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: a lot of time on that.

115
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 6: Coach.

116
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: As I said, appreciate you here a class act. The

117
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: Bengals fans are very fortunate, and they know they're fortunate,

118
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: and they look forward to the information you give them

119
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: to keep them abreast of their Cincinnati Bengals, their favorite

120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: football team. Appreciate your time, sir, Thank you, Dave, Appreciate you.

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor after the game, and boy David winds up

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: being another one score game, and so much of the

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: NFL is one score games. That seems it's a very

124
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: parody driven close game. That's twelve times over the last

125
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: two seasons they've been so close to winning a game,

126
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: but it goes the other way. And that's that's like

127
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: the merging of life in the NFL. You teeter and

128
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: if you find a way to find the wind up

129
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: on this side of it, you make the playoffs most

130
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: of the time, and when you don't, you wind up.

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: Like we are discussing what what wrong in a season?

132
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and as a result of that, the you know,

133
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: the Bengals don't make the playoffs again. The fan base

134
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: is disturbed. There's unrest in the fan base and deservedly so,

135
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 4: and they want changes. I mean, obviously, Joe Burrow is

136
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: playing at a high level and he will continue to

137
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 4: be the Bengals quarterback. Jamar Chase will continue to be

138
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: the primary receiver the one number one receiver, and other

139
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: side of the of the football field is t Higgins

140
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: and he's like one a. I mean, he's a one

141
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 4: with a lot of franchises in the National Football League.

142
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 4: So those three components, I mean, that's that's a nice

143
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: start to build a football team. But I'll tell you what,

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 4: if I'm anybody else, I'm not going home into the

145
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: offseason thinking, yeah, I'll be back. I got this made.

146
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: I got this football team made. We're going to come

147
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: back and get after it again. It's a young football team.

148
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: I think there's some room to grow. There's me down

149
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: the bone, but I think some of the young football

150
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: players did develop during the course of the season, for sure,

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 4: and they got a lot better as the season went on.

152
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: And again they can improve even more, but I do

153
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: think there are going to be changes in the personnel.

154
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: I think the fifty three men roster as such is

155
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: going to look different next year for sure.

156
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: Dave to update and case fans missed it earlier in

157
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: the day, The team and Mike Brown did issue a

158
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: statement earlier today. It reads, in part, we came into

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 2: the season with high expectations, coming off four straight winning

160
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: seasons with leaders in place that took us to the

161
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: super Bowl at two AFC Championship games. We know this

162
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: season has been frustrating and disappointing. The results fell short

163
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: of our standards. Our focus is on building a team

164
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: that can consistently compete at a high level. After thoughtful consideration,

165
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: I am confident that Duke Tobain and Zach Taylor are

166
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: the right leaders to guide us forward. He closed by saying,

167
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: we are taking a hard look at everything we do

168
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: as we approach this offseason with focused determination to build

169
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: a championship caliber roster. We are fully committed to delivering

170
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: results that match the pride, passion, and expectations of this

171
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: organization and our fans.

172
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 7: Well.

173
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: I think you know he probably felt some pressure to

174
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: come out with a statement because of the unrest in

175
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: the fan base, and like we talked about the social

176
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 4: media on Mike is one that hits the social media

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: hard before he goes to bed. But I know, I

178
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: know Katie is aware of it, Troy's aware of it,

179
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: the daughters, the girls are aware of it.

180
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: So very important offseason ahead, now, no question.

181
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: I think I think it's a crossroads off season, you know.

182
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I do think because when you have a

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 4: quarterback like Joe Burrow, you don't want to waste seasons.

184
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: You don't want to waste opportunities, you know, And I

185
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: think that that's what the fans are most frustrated about.

186
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: That You've had a guy who could lead you to

187
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: a super Bowl and a Super Bowl victory and you've

188
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 4: wasted opportunities. So I think that had enough of that.

189
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: Let's move on, make the changes we need to make,

190
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: and go out and compete and try to get in

191
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: the playoffs and win a super Bowl next year. Perfect segue.

192
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: We move on.

193
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 2: You'll hear a little bit from QB one, Joe Burrow

194
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: and more as we dissect yesterday and look ahead of

195
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 2: the off season. We roll on with Bengals Line of

196
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: the Bengals Radio Networking seven hundred WLW back on Bengals

197
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: Line and the Bengals Radio Networking seven hundred WLW Lance

198
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: but can Lester Dave Lapham, thanks for hanging out with

199
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: us on this night where we put the season to rest.

200
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow yesterday was twenty nine of thirty nine, two

201
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty six yards, three touchdowns, quarterback rating of

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,119
Speaker 2: one oh four point two and was very very reflective

203
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: of the season completed and what's ahead for this team?

204
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Here is QB one.

205
00:09:54,559 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just beat ourselves today, fall stars, turnovers, Eliot

206
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: uh mental airs certainly wasn't high level football today.

207
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 8: Do you think that's.

208
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: Because it was the end of the season.

209
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 9: If you think it's just sometimes you have those games

210
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 9: the opponent make sure.

211
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: It's tough to say. I mean, we certainly can't have

212
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: the mental areas we have today. Why what caused that?

213
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know, but I can't happen.

214
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 10: Do You were able to keep Miles Garrett out until

215
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 10: we finally got the one late? How big of the

216
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 10: game part of the game plan was keeping him neutralized

217
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 10: and out of that.

218
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have you have to if you want to

219
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: be successful. Against that team. He's the focus of our

220
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: game plan every time we plan. It's no secret you

221
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: have to and it's challenging because you have to commit

222
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: resources to that and that takes away resources from from elsewhere.

223
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: But for the most part, I thought we were pretty

224
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: good against him today, But you can see how impactful

225
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: we have no help on him one time and he

226
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: gets one, and that.

227
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 11: He was.

228
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it is him that put his put

229
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: his hand up and knocked the ball down on the

230
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: goal line into an interception. I don't know that for

231
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: sure because I've watched the tape, but it was his side.

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 3: It was one of those guys over there. So he's

233
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: an aware elite player that you have to revolve your

234
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: game plan around.

235
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 12: Really asked you a lot about the future.

236
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 13: I'm sorry for a few future questions.

237
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: Last time we get to talk to.

238
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 12: You for a little bit.

239
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: How involved do you plan to be?

240
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 14: I know you said quarterback, but you also know your

241
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 14: voice carries a lot of weight here in this organization.

242
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 14: How involved do you plan to be in conversations with

243
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 14: Mike d zach immediately following the season about what you

244
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 14: think and what you want this franchise to do to

245
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 14: make sure this off season goes the way that you

246
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 14: wanted to.

247
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: We'll have those meetings the next couple of days. I think.

248
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: I think for the most part, we're all on the

249
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: same page about what we have to do and where

250
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: we have to go. Without having the meetings. It's tough

251
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: to say, but I know they certainly value my opinion.

252
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 3: I think I think about things critically. I think that

253
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: I can provide some insight into things going on in

254
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: the lockerom and on the field that could help us win,

255
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: and so I plan to voice some things, just like

256
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: I do every off season, just to follow up on that.

257
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 14: I know you're not going to share a lot publicly, but.

258
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 15: Whatever you're comfortable shared.

259
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 14: If you had to say, what would you want to

260
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 14: see most of this off season done by this organization

261
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 14: to help support you, what would you say?

262
00:12:59,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 16: It is.

263
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: Good. Yeah, it's tough to say right now without talking

264
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: to two people, and those meetings will be done the

265
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: next few days. I'm very confident in our coaching staff.

266
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: I know those guys work really hard to put us

267
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: in good positions, and you know, I always feel well

268
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: prepared and putting the best spot to go out and succeed.

269
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, I think we're in a good spot.

270
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 17: Do you have the same level of confidence in the

271
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 17: organization as you did at the beginning.

272
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: Of the year? Higher or lower? We all want to win.

273
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 3: We all want to win.

274
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 17: Do you think you're the championship mindset is being matched organizationally?

275
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: Do you see that?

276
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 8: Do you feel that?

277
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I sure, hope so. I think I know

278
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: everybody's frustrated right now. So it's hard to there's a

279
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: there's a there's a disconnect during the season. You know,

280
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: we we're all down here and focus on the day

281
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: to day and trying to get better, and it's their

282
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: job upstairs focus on the big picture and where we

283
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: need to go and who we need to be. So yeah,

284
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: I know they're committed to that.

285
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 9: When you guys were winning division titles and going to

286
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 9: the AFC Championship Game and went to Super Bowl fifty six,

287
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 9: the big reason why some of your free agents that

288
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 9: you guys brought into Nick Stertle, guys, do you think.

289
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: For this organization, Yeah, that's that's that's of paramount importance.

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: I think you have to identify where you're weak and

291
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: figure out a way to be strong in that area.

292
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: That's that's the NFL year in and year out. Sometimes it

293
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: works out, sometimes it doesn't, but you have to attack

294
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: that period with intent to get better.

295
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 10: Pretty surprised, and Eric got the record exact said the

296
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 10: officials hadn't informed him in advance.

297
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, was I surprised? No, No, I wasn't surprised.

298
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: That's typically how they handle those kinds of situations.

299
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 12: You walk us through that play and that that led

300
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 12: on the on a sack what y'all called it, kind

301
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 12: of how he won?

302
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: Do you remember, you know, I'm trying. I'm trying to

303
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: remember if we had It's tough to recall right now,

304
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: the exact protection ideas on that whether we because certain

305
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: certain looks you can't you can't have help on on

306
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: ninety five because of the potential pressure responses that they give.

307
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: But it's it's tough to it's have to remember the

308
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: exact call in that situation off the top of my head.

309
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 12: Going back to some of the earlier questions, you guys

310
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 12: are walking now from being a postseason, does that kind

311
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 12: of where on you and build maybe a little bit

312
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 12: more pressure, you know, on everybody. Let's getting back to

313
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 12: that point when he gets further and further away from

314
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 12: where y'all expect to be.

315
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: We certainly where we want our need to be, now

316
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: where I expect to be. So yeah, we have figured out.

317
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: We got to figure it out.

318
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow after the game on What's Ahead. We'll hear

319
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: more from Joe and certainly talk more Joe as we

320
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: continue on tonight. Thanks for being here. It's Bengals Line

321
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: of the Bengals Radio Network at seven hundred WLW, and

322
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: we keep moving along with this Monday Night, A Bengals

323
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: Line of the Bengals Radio networking seven hundred WLW. Im

324
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Liions MacAllister hanging out with Dave Lapham for the final

325
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: time tonight, sorting through yesterday and sorting through the off

326
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: season ahead cam sample yesterday six tackles, two sacks, he

327
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: forced to fumble, and he talked about the afternoon after

328
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: the games same.

329
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 18: You know, we wanted to set the tempover. You know,

330
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 18: it's the AFC North game. We played them already, we

331
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 18: know what type of game it's gonna be. So I

332
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 18: think we approach with around mindset, just gotta make the

333
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 18: players at the end.

334
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 7: A lot of young guys on the defensive line today.

335
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 7: We saw it for long periods of time. How do

336
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 7: you think this group, if you Miles Schamar did as group?

337
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think we did good. You know, I always

338
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 18: gotta watch your tape. It's always you know, stuff can

339
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 18: clean up. Not as good as you think, not as

340
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 18: bad as you think. So, I mean, I think the

341
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 18: energy was, their attention to detail was there. We just

342
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 18: got probably small things to clean up to, you know,

343
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 18: not even be in that position at the end of

344
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 18: the game xact contrad up with the.

345
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 19: Fact that it was kind of an appropriate ending to

346
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 19: this game for the season and what it represented. What

347
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 19: do you think you guys can do to make sure

348
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 19: that you can finish next year?

349
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think it's just about playing complementary football at

350
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 18: the right times. You know, it's been times this year

351
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 18: where the offense has been rolling defense you know, had

352
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 18: our issues and or or you know, they have stuff

353
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 18: going on. So just playing a complete game as a team,

354
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 18: you know, I think that's just the mindset going forward.

355
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 15: Do you think the pieces are in this locker room

356
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 15: You're confident that the pieces are in this locker room to.

357
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 11: Turn it around?

358
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, yeah, for sure, cause I think we've

359
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 18: seen it at times offense been rolling, defense and rolling.

360
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 18: So the pieces are here, we just gotta it was

361
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 18: just a consistency thing on my uh in my opinion.

362
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 18: So I think all the pieces are here for sure.

363
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 7: What important is it cam when younger players or guys

364
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 7: without as much experience, when they get a shot they perform.

365
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, uh, it's important. You know, first of all,

366
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 18: just for confidence. I mean that's half the battle right there.

367
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 18: And then you know, it's a really talented league. So

368
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 18: just getting those experience reps, it's just huge for young guys.

369
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 18: I remember coming in those reps I got my rookie year,

370
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 18: you know, I take them stuff with me. I learned

371
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 18: even to this day, So it's just a big experience.

372
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 13: Then coming in thanks, I'm coming back coming back from

373
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 13: a serious injury. How do you feel like the season

374
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 13: went for you? And and finishing on this kind of a.

375
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 18: Note, Yeah, I mean goal WI is definitely not the

376
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 18: season I wanted to have. I got big expectations for myself.

377
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 18: I think towards the end of the season, playing more,

378
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 18: got to put some good stuff on tape. I think

379
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 18: I ended well. So I'm just happy to you know,

380
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 18: just kind of show them mine. I still can I

381
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 18: still can play ball.

382
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 13: It was a good day for the defense that unfortunately

383
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 13: ended with a disappointing finish. How do you to bal

384
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 13: how do you balance at emotionally?

385
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 18: You know, it's tough, man. I mean we're warriors. We

386
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 18: go out there, we want to win. We want to

387
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 18: do it perfect for four quarters. That's just not the

388
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 18: nature of the game. But you know, but that's how

389
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 18: we want to you know, we want to be out

390
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 18: there with the game in the line, like putting on

391
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 18: our shoulders. So I mean next time, you know, net

392
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 18: season just going forward, just got to find a way to

393
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 18: make those players.

394
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 13: Man, defense got better, maybe not week by week, but

395
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 13: certainly in the second half of the season. How encouraged

396
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 13: are you by that?

397
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 18: You know, it's good. You know, I think I was

398
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 18: consistent his messages. I think our defense coaches did the

399
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 18: hell of a job. Even the offensive guys. You know,

400
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 18: when things aren't going with you know, they're lifting us

401
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 18: up and all that so we can come together and

402
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 18: really play our style of football.

403
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 11: So I think it was just huge.

404
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 13: We're standing right in a stretch of defensive line locker

405
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 13: rooms on our lockers rather on either side of you.

406
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 13: How encouraged are you by the play of some of

407
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 13: your brothers up there in the defensive line.

408
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, it's good to see, you know, just

409
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 18: most obvious Murph. You know, I know how hard he worked.

410
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 18: You know, I've been here since he was a rookie.

411
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 18: Just so just seeing his growth is huge. Chamar, just

412
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 18: learning week the week, seeing said come in, make some plays.

413
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 11: So it's just good to see those guys.

414
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 18: I don't know how much put into it, So when

415
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 18: I see the results, I know it's they're happy, and

416
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 18: I'm happy for him.

417
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 13: Appreciate you, Kam, Thank you.

418
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: Appreciate So Cam Sample after a very productive day and David,

419
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: I think it feels like he's been here a long time,

420
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: and he realized he's still only twenty six years old.

421
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: He's coming off that achilles injury that wiped out last season. Boy,

422
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: if you're looking ahead, you need young guys to keep

423
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 2: getting better. And what a way to go into the

424
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: off season for Cam Sample. And you got to feel

425
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: good for the way he bounced back from the injury.

426
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree one hundred thousand percent with that, Lance,

427
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: you know, and he's his talent. He's a physical talent.

428
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 4: He has fought the injury bug. You know, just when

429
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 4: things start to look like they're falling into place for him,

430
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 4: he gets nicked up and he's down and having to

431
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 4: go through in some cases surgery and rehab and all

432
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. So you know, that'll definitely slow

433
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 4: your progress progress down in terms of development, particularly when

434
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: you're a young player like that. I think, honestly, the

435
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 4: two young guys, Miles Murphy and Cam Sample both of them.

436
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 4: Miles Murphy's battles injury problems as well, But both of

437
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 4: these guys are physically what you want. I mean, they're specimens.

438
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 4: They get size, they get strength, they get speed, they

439
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 4: get first step quickness, they get all all the things

440
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: that you're looking for. And I think they could be,

441
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: you know, a really good tande for the future. Am

442
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: I saying? If your first pick in the top ten

443
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: looks like Bengal's gonna have the tenth pick of the draft,

444
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 4: and if there's an edge rusher that is still on

445
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: the board and you're like got to take that guy,

446
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: take them, take them. You can never have enough. I mean,

447
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: now you could have a three player rotation in there.

448
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 4: And maybe the tenth pick of the draft gets more

449
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 4: snaps than the others because he panned out. He's a

450
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 4: tenth pick of the draft and he panned out, but

451
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: there's no guarantees of that, so it'll be it'll be

452
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 4: interesting to see what the Bengals do in the draft,

453
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 4: but I think they do have a couple of young

454
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 4: edge rush guys that could be pretty significant and making

455
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 4: major contributions in the future.

456
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: That's some defensive talk. Let's get back into the offense

457
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: and a guy who wrapped up one heck of a season,

458
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: Chase Brown, will from him as we continue Bengals On

459

467
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: What was the difference in how you were playing down

468
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: the stretch.

469
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 20: I think we were we were just connecting on all levels.

470
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 20: We're keeping Joe up Oline, was doing a great job

471
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 20: in the run blocking, We're making big plays down the field,

472
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 20: and when that all comes together, that's the Cincinnati Bengals offense.

473
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 20: So that's what was going right. And I'm honestly grateful

474
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 20: that we were able to find that because that's, like,

475
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 20: you know, that's hard to find sometimes, especially with you know,

476
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 20: the way that we started and the struggles that were going.

477
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 20: In hindsight, it does feel good to, you know, be

478
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 20: able to find that.

479
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 4: We're speaking with Chase Brown, by the way, who's a

480
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Bengals running back extraordinary, who had a hell of a

481
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 4: year this year. A thousand yards rushing for the first time.

482
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 4: What's that feel like?

483
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: Feels great?

484
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 20: I was ten yards off it last year, got injured

485
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 20: in Week sixteen against the Broncos. So it feels good

486
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 20: to finish off the year with you know, that statistical measure,

487
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 20: but still a lot more that. You know, we want

488
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 20: to achieve as a team, so you want to be

489
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 20: in the playoffs, you want to make a long postseason push.

490
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 20: So that's kind of where I'm at right now. Just

491
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 20: sucks that we're not doing that. But I guess it

492
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 20: feels good to hit a thousand.

493
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 4: And really, like you mentioned nine to ninety the year before,

494
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: almost two thousand yards rushing, what you went over one thousands,

495
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: So about two thousand yards rushing in a two season stretch.

496
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 4: It speaks to consistency, and I think that's the definition

497
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: of Chase Brown. I think you are as consistent of

498
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: football players not only does this year's team and this

499
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 4: team has had, but that I've ever seen. I mean,

500
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 4: you go out and take care of business, try my

501
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: best to do my job. Yeah, I mean, what where

502
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 4: does that come from? Is that just the way you

503
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 4: were you were raised, the way you were brought up,

504
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 4: the way you approach everything.

505
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 20: I think as a professional, the most important thing is consistency.

506
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 11: Uh.

507
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 8: You don't want to go out.

508
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 20: One year, have a good year, and then come back

509
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 20: the next one and flunk it. So I think the

510
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 20: most important thing is putting in.

511
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 21: The work to be able.

512
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 11: To be consistent.

513
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 20: So I think the best part, too, is I think

514
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 20: the overall quality.

515
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: Of what.

516
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 20: You know I put out there on tape was much

517
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 20: better than last year. So I feel like I took

518
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 20: a step forward.

519
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 3: But it sucks.

520
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 20: Because you know, you want to you want to play

521
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 20: in the postseason. That's kind of probably be how I

522
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 20: finish everything here is you want to be in the postseason,

523
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 20: and it sucks that we're not there, And you know

524
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 20: we'll figure out a way to do that this offseason

525
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 20: and come back next You're a better team.

526
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: I know you take great pride in your performance. Take

527
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 4: great pride and being a pro get take great pride

528
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 4: and being a Cincinnati Bengal. And the thing that, again

529
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 4: is the most impressive thing to me is how complete

530
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 4: you are as a running back. I mean, you run

531
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: the ball great, like the numbers show it, but you're

532
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: also a great receiver of the football. You run great routes.

533
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow trust you, respects you. You catch the football,

534
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: you tuck it away, you don't turn it over. You're

535
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 4: a great blitz pickup guy. You stick your nose right

536
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 4: in the chest of linebackers and safeties. What in your mind?

537
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: How proud are you about being a complete football player.

538
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 20: I think there's what's required here to play running back

539
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 20: for the CINCINNTI Bengals. You look at everybody in our room.

540

Speaker 20: We're all able to run the ball. We're all able

00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 20: to you know, passertech. We're all able to catch the ball.

542
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,520

00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 20: we got we have three complete backs and even the

546
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 20: guys on a practice squad could do it as well.

547
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 20: So that's that's what we take pride in here as

548

Speaker 20: a group, and we're going to keep being that, you know,

560
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: and a next step up in a level climb for

561
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: Chase Brown.

562
00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 11: No doubt.

563
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 4: Man. Well, you know when you're talking over eleven hundred

564
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 4: yards from you know, rushing and now you throw in.

565
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: He's he's a factor in the in the passing game,

566
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: almost another five hundred yards. Eleven touchdowns, man, I mean

567
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 4: that's a that's a touchdown maker right there. Chase Brown

568
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 4: is a guy that is has been very blessed. He's

569
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 4: he's extremely strong. He's he's very interesting in the way

570
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 4: he's built. He's five nine five ten, probably two hund

571
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifteen pounds, extremely powerful, extremely quick and explosive.

572
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 4: His first step quickness is as good as there is

573
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: in the NFL. And he gets downfield in a hurry.

574
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 4: I mean he gets north and south and he puts

575
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: that foot in the ground and makes that violent cut.

576
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: He's very strong in his thighs, you know, he does,

577
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: works his quads, hamstrings, his cass he works everything very

578
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: very hard, and he's durable. You know. He does doesn't

579
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: miss games, doesn't misplays, and he can do everything. He

580
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: can run it. He can run with Howard from the

581
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 4: speed he can catch it. He runs good routes out

582
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: of the backfield. Joe Burrow trusts him and respects him

583
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: as a receiver. He catches the ball well, puts it away,

584
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 4: doesn't drop. It doesn't let people punch it out of

585
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: there and turn over in that regard. But and then

586
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 4: the big thing is a lot of guys that can

587
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: do the things that he does in terms of running

588
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 4: and catching. They don't want to block. You know that

589
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 4: that's part of the game that is foreign to them.

590
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 4: Chase brown Man, he.

591
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 2: Likes it.

592
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 4: He likes the competition. He sticks his nose right in

593
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: the chest of linebackers and safeties and wants to do

594
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: battle with them.

Speaker 23: Last three years. That falls on everybody, and I'm excited

622
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 23: to run it back in twenty six.

623
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 15: Do you think that's worthwhile doing at this point?

624
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 11: Ted?

625
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 15: Because you you're aware, you're a veteran that football, all

626
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 15: sports are games have changed, things are going to change.

627
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 15: Do you think there needs to be changed though?

628
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 11: In this organization?

629
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 6: Why you approach change?

630
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 22: Man?

631
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 23: I mean, like I said earlier, I mean, we're we're

632
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 23: we're one play away, jays. I mean, it's it is

633
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 23: what it is. It's that's this is the NFL. So

634
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 23: you have to finish the game. And we've gosh, I've

635
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 23: never been a part of so many drives to win

636
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 23: and then it doesn't.

637
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 8: I mean, that's just how the ball rolls.

638
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 23: So no, I'm not gonna sit here and say any

639
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 23: anything needs to be changed.

640
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 8: We need to win ball games.

641
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 25: Had you touched on it twice there about the widow

642
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 25: kind of Kings or however you said it, Zach said

643
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 25: that it was fitting the way this game came down

644
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 25: and the way you guys lost at the end of season.

645
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 8: How do you change that stigma.

646
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 16: Going forward if you don't change other things.

647
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 23: Well, we can't them score twice on defense, I mean

648
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 23: that's our defense was playing unbelievable today, shutting them down

649
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 23: and they had twenty yards in the first half and

650
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 23: we're up, So that's ridiculous. Yeah, we gotta finish out games.

651
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 23: We gotta be more productive. I thought we had.

652
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 8: I mean stats are great, score doesn't. So that's it

653
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 8: is what it is.

654
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 23: And now I'm gonna sit here and pontificate on what

655
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 23: i think needs to be changed. I think we need

656
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 23: to everyone needs a self assess and come back grady

657
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 23: to go.

658
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 25: In April, speaking of self assessment, Joe burrow I said

659
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 25: multiple times this year that this is the best offensive

660
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 25: line he's played with.

661
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 8: Why were you guys able to be more successful this season?

662
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 23: I think we drilled correctly, We got a hand a

663
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 23: hand in the run game. Guys bought in personal relationships.

664
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 11: Everyone.

665
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 23: I've never had so much buy in on personal relationships

666
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 23: and friendships and going hard and not relaxing until now.

667
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 11: Now you can.

668
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 23: Relax at four thirty on a Sunday afternoon. We're not

669
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 23: on until eight months, really, so I'm really proud of

670
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 23: this offensive line.

671
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 8: I think we have some really great young guys.

672
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 23: I think Dalton Reisner is an absolute perfect fit for

673
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 23: the Cincinnati Bengals offense, and I hope to see him

674
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 23: back next year.

675
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 24: How important would that be if he resigns?

676
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 23: Excuse man. I think he's a great player, he's a

677
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 23: great man. He's another veteran presence in a o line

678
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 23: room and in an offense that can feel at times

679
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 23: exasperated for a guard. It's very challenging if you watch

680
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 23: the film where our guards are one on one a lot,

681
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 23: and he's a one on one specialist. So I'm really

682
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 23: proud of his season and excited to see what happens

683
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 23: because he played he played his balls off this year.

684
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 24: I'll surprised that he's bounced around now that you've played

685
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 24: a season with him, and that he's bounced around like

686
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 24: he has around this league, given how talented you just said, he.

687
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 8: Is very surprised.

688
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 23: I think we've had kind of a similar career path

689
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 23: where we have a lot of one year deals. I mean,

690
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 23: he's had to be on the street a little bit

691
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 23: longer sometimes and after meeting him, Yeah, I don't know

692
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 23: when this it's this league, so it's a business. But

693
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 23: I would say, not only did he meet expectations, he

694
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 23: exceeded everything I thought who he was as a man,

695
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 23: as a player.

696
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 8: So he's a huge part of.

697
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 11: The OWL line room.

698
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 8: So I'll hope to see him back.

699
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: Ted Carris after the game and Dave, we talked throughout

700
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: the season about the importance of Ted Kerris, his presence

701
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: not just in the huddle and on that offensive line,

702
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: but in the in the locker room. And I wonder

703
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: also as a former offensive lineman, how big has it

704
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: been that that Ted also has Fairchild and Reisner who've

705
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: kind of solidified the guard positions on each side of him.

706
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: How big is that? Yeah, it is big. You know,

707
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 4: and the one thing that's one thing that you look for.

708
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 4: I remember as a player, you know, playing next to

709
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 4: Anthony Munos was easy because he was the greatest player

710
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: to ever played, first first ballot Hall of Famer, you know.

711
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's wearing that gold jacket and he's

712
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 4: a great ambassador for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

713
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: up there in Canton. Ohiwe But I mean when you

714
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: start playing next to each other for a good number

715
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 4: of snaps, it's like you know exactly what the other

716
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 4: guy's going to do. How's he going to handle that

717
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 4: end penetrating tackle, twisting behind, how's he going to handle

718
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: the opposite tackle penetrating and twisting inside? And those kind

719
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 4: of things are very very important to be able to

720
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 4: be on the same page and not questioning and not

721
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 4: have any doubts, say, how is he going to do that? Now,

722
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you're too late. I mean, the

723
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 4: stunt to twist is unfolded, and you're you're chasing, you're

724
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 4: chasing it, and you're chasing it right to the quarterback

725
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 4: who's getting drilled and getting thrown to the ground. So

726
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 4: I think that Ted is very, very gifted in that

727
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 4: area in terms of coordinating and communicating up front with

728
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: the offensive line. He's brilliant in terms of doesn't make

729
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 4: assignment mistakes, and that's that's always key. You don't want

730
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 4: to be blocking the wrong people or and he makes

731
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: the calls. You don't want to make calls that dictate

732
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: having people block the wrong people. And Joe Burrow Ted krrass,

733
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: Joe Borrow thinks Ted Carrass is finally important to this

734
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 4: football team.

735
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,040

Speaker 2: he held court after the game here, or is Jamar Chase?

752
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,840

753
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 26: had today?

754
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 16: You know, just execute.

755
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 26: That's the biggest thing, Exeque when we have the opportunities

756
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 26: and our defense gotta make place.

757
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 19: How disappointed are you with this season?

758
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,080

Speaker 26: it's disappointing the way how it went. But you know

760
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 26: it's it's everything happens for a reason at the end

761
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 26: of the day, and you gotta sit here and just

762
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 26: think about the season, how I win and just see

763
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 26: what to see what we're wrong.

764

Speaker 23: Zach was asked about message to the team right locking

765
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,000

Speaker 8: Like if that's what we had?

770
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 24: Zach go to sac said and it was fitting, like

771
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 24: the way you guys lost the game.

772
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 16: I don't even know what that means.

773
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 27: If I'm being honestly, it ain't appropriate.

774
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,800

Speaker 19: the season, and given how you guys, Yeah, and you

776
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 19: lost in game.

777
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 11: See you couldn't finish.

778
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 16: I gotta keep that question with him. It's not that's

779
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 16: not something for me.

780
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 13: You don't sound like you're happy with that description. I

781
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 13: don't like losing.

782
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 26: I'm I'm I don't know how this works, you know

783
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 26: what I'm saying. Maybe that's probably say that for a

784
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 26: draft pick or something, but I don't.

785
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 8: Know how that works. So i'm'a stay in my lane.

786
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 16: How happy are you that this season has finally come.

787
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: To a hand.

788
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 7: It's been at must less brutal season.

789
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 26: Uh, it's been a roller coaster I I I think

790
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 26: I'm just when I was happy about just getting through

791
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 26: the season and not being injured.

792
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 11: I think that's the biggest thing for me.

793
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 19: When you reflect on this season tomorrow, what will you

794
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 19: take from it personally?

795
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 20: I don't know.

796
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 16: I didn't really take nothing personal from me, you know

797
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 16: what I'm saying.

798
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 3: I was this year.

799
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 26: I didn't put myself first, trying to be a team

800
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 26: leader and just be a captain and stuff like that.

801
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 16: So I didn't I didn't put myself.

802
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 11: First at all.

803
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 16: Bre you tomorrow.

804
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 28: What's the process looked like over the next few weeks

805
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 28: a month or so, now that the season is over.

806
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 26: I'm gonna go to cant Coon like everybody told me

807
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 26: to do, and I'm gonna enjoy it myself cause I'm

808
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 26: I don't have nothing else to do, so taking myself there,

809
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 26: does Zach and this.

810
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 18: Coaching staff still have your unmost confidence.

811
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 26: I am very confident in myself. I'm confident and the

812
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 26: places they call for me to get open.

813
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 7: Are you guys who watches the playoffs and Super Bowl?

814
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 28: Or do you just have to get totally get out

815
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 28: of football right at this.

816
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 26: Point, I watched it a little bit. I I get

817
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 26: mad watching it, but I still watch it a little bit.

818
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 7: You've known now for a few weeks that you guys

819
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 7: aren't call the playoffs.

820
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 8: It's since like it has for a few weeks.

821
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: Is it going to motivate or drive.

822
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 13: The team so you can't have this again next year?

823
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 16: I mean everybody should be motivated.

824
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 26: Who's been on the team the past three years, they

825
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 26: know how it's been they know what they do.

826
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 16: At the end of the day. If I can't.

827
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 26: If I'm gonna say this, if if you're going into

828
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 26: the off season you're not motivated from what happened this

829
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 26: past season, shouldn't be on the team.

830
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 16: You shouldn't play football, period. So that's my that's not

831
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 16: saying about that.

832
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 19: Do you think that's the same same can be said

833
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 19: to the front office and ownership that they have to

834
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 19: be motivated, they have.

835
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 15: To be willing to do things to change as well.

836
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, yeah, can you have any energy, any suggestions,

837
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 19: any clue not doing that right now?

838
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 7: Are you happy with your final undress? They're big again

839
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 7: this year, one hundred and twenty five.

840
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 13: Catches, fourteen hundred yards.

841
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 16: I mean catches that I have to Oh, I was

842
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 16: too off. Yeah, man, I'm guess I'm satisfied. I was

843
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 16: really wanted to score my last last game, so I mean,

844
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 16: I'm fine.

845
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 6: I'm cool.

846
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 13: It's a good note to end the season and what

847
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 13: you thought was a team winning touchdown.

848
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 11: Ken m m.

849
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

850
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 16: But I wasn't even too happy after, like I was.

851
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 21: There was a lot going on on my part.

852
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 16: But you know, as long as I was still there

853
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 16: for the team and had my energy up that I'm.

854
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 15: Fine, You're I'm sure what was going on.

855
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 16: I was a little angry.

856
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 26: I was pissed why. I can't say, I'm not saying why,

857
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 26: but I was pissed though, for for sure, I was pissed.

858
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 8: For sure, there were some people who were upset.

859
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 7: You seem to be one pointing down the field when

860
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 7: the Browns were celebrating the sound.

861
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't think they can do that.

862
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 26: I never knew you could let the whole team get

863
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 26: on your field. That's like, that's like me catching the

864
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 26: fifth pass and the whole team run on the field.

865
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 16: We can get flat. We can't.

866
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 26: You can't do that, you know what I'm saying. But

867
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 26: congrassing him and everything, but you know, they got to

868
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 26: call it flagg unplay.

869
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 29: Like you guys have trying to go in the game.

870
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 16: We're trying to hurry up too. We couldn't even hurry up.

871
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 16: The rest was looking at us like we did something

872
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 16: wrong the whole time.

873
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 11: So it was I don't know what was going.

874
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 6: On on our player.

875
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 7: I can't think you had any kind of explanation of

876
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 7: why it stopped it?

877
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 16: Um No, I mean, do you interview the refs.

878
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 7: Apparently, Zach said the rest told him after the fact

879
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 7: that they had decided they were going to stop the game,

880
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 7: but never in full, which you mean stops the game,

881
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 7: stop the game to let them celebrate them.

882
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 16: They better stop the game when I do something on

883
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 16: my background.

884
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 6: That's all I got to say about.

885
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: That, Dave. Jamar Chase winds up with one hundred and

886
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: twenty five catches for fourteen hundred and twelve yards and

887
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: eight touchdowns. Let's consider those are incredible numbers. He missed

888
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 2: one game, obviously because of the suspension. He was part

889
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: of the stretch where it was really rough for Jake

890
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: Browning for three weeks when he took over, and through

891
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 2: all of that, Jamar Chase has one hundred and twenty

892
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: five catches. I mean, I think all season long, we

893
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: knew week to week how good he is. When the

894
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 2: season ends and you look and see one hundred and

895
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: twenty five after all of that, unbelievable it is.

896
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 11: It's crazy.

897
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 4: I mean, one hundred and twenty five catches, twelve hundred

898
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 4: plus yards, eight touchdowns.

899
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 8: He is.

900
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 4: He's a machine.

901
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 11: I mean, he really is.

902
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean, Jamar Chase is in my mind, the best player, well,

903
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 4: I'd say, if not the best player, he's in the

904
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: top three to five. But the best wide receiver in

905
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 4: the National Football League bar none, and I think the

906
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: best wide receiver in Bengals history. He is an athletic freak,

907
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 4: a freak azoid. His size speed ratio is off the charts.

908
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 4: He's got unbelievable upper body strength that's in the weight room.

909
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 4: He loves to lift man. I mean, I think for

910
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 4: a wide receiver, the wide receiver position, they're kind of

911
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 4: allergic because the weight and a lot of them, you know,

912
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 4: they don't want to get in there and get after it.

913
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: But Joey Bosse does a good job, and Jamar Chase

914
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 4: loves it. He loved it at LSU. He was a

915
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 4: big weight room guy at LSU free weights. Same here

916
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 4: at the Cincinnati Bengals. T Higgins has got this cuts

917
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 4: from the same cloth. He likes to go in there

918
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 4: and lift weights and he's a big, long, strong body guy.

919
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 4: So but Joe Borrow and Jamar Chase, they've done it

920
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 4: since the LSU days, and they know each other cold.

921
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 4: I mean, Joe knows exactly what Jamar is thinking. Joe

922
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 4: knows when he throws the football, Jamar is going to

923
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 4: be where he's supposed to be when he's supposed to

924
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 4: be there, doing what he's supposed to do. And that

925
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 4: trust and respect, like we talked about before, is huge.

926
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 4: And I think I mean Jamar triple crown guy. He

927
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 4: didn't get the triple Crown, fell short of that in

928
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 4: terms of the touchdown catches, but this guy is going

929
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 4: to put up ridiculous numbers, stupid numbers for a long

930
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: time because he takes care of himself.

931
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 2: Anytime, you've got a wide receiver room with Jamar, Chase

932
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: and t Higgins your set, but you can always use

933
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: that third element, and that's been Andre, that's been Mitch Tinsley.

934
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: If there's a next level of probably consistency for each

935
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: of those who are maybe an outside element brought in,

936
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: they I think they could stand to get even more

937
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 2: production from that third wide receiver.

938
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 4: I agree on hundred thousand percent with you, Lance, and

939
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: I think you know they'll probably look at the draft

940
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 4: and see what might be there and is a little

941
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 4: bit better than what we're talking about, and then you

942
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 4: throw the tight end position. Kasiki is such a web.

943
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 4: I think Kasicki is probably the third option a lot

944
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 4: of times for Joe, you know, I mean, I think

945
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 4: he's if the first two are taken away and they're

946
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 4: say they're playing you know, cover two, and they're rolling

947
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 4: both safeties out to the wide receivers to take them away.

948
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 4: Mike is SICKI in the middle of football field's not

949
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 4: a bad option for Joe Burrow and he likes that.

950
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 4: And Gasicki's big, tall, you know, like a you know,

951
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 4: a beacon light, like a lighthouse out in the middle

952
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 4: of the ocean. And he's got He's very athletic, he

953
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 4: is flexible, he's tall, he's got length, he's got very

954
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: strong hands. He puts the football away, runs excellent routes.

955
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 4: The Bengals are blessed to have him at the tight

956
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 4: end position. They're blessed really with the weapons that they

957
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 4: have for Joe Borrow to throw to. And it's smart

958
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 4: to have weapons for Joe Burrow to throw to, because

959
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 4: he's the best in the business.

960
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: Perfect segue is still ahead into more on the tight

961
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: end position. A guy who kind of flies under the radar,

962
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 2: just does his job. Drew sample. As we continue with

963
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: Bengals line and the Bengals Radio Network, and seven hundred WLW. Hey,

964
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 2: welcome back in on Bengals Line and this Monday night,

965
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 2: we're picking up the pieces from yesterday and putting the

966
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: pieces together for the off season and what's ahead for

967
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: this team on Bengals Line and the Bengals Radio Network

968
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: in seven hundred wil on Lance Pocallister, he is Dave Lapham.

969
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: Let's get perspective a little bit deeper on the tight

970
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: end side of things. Drew Sample after the game, talked

971
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: with Dan Horde and the media.

972
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 13: You guys didn't let Miles Garrett dominate the game. You

973
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 13: had a lot to do with that. The Miles Garrett

974
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 13: factor is real, though. Can you talk about just how

975
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 13: he impacts the offense?

976
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean, obviously he if it's someone you're not,

977
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 30: he's someone that if you're not aware of on every play,

978
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 30: he can you know, change the game. And so you know,

979
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 30: being a divisional opponent, we obviously as seem twice here,

980
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 30: so you know each game is a challenge with that

981
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 30: and we understand you know, the game record that he

982
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 30: is and that he can be and I think you've

983
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 30: seen that, you know, with his sack numbers everything throughout

984
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 30: the season, we'll have you know, they'll play teams that

985
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 30: maybe don't see him as much. Andy'll have you know,

986
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 30: two three, four sacks or whatever it may be. So

987
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 30: they don't you know, sometimes they don't understand like how

988
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 30: big of a you know record he could be. So

989
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 30: I mean that's that's a part of the plan. They

990
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 30: have a really good defense, you know, they they challenge you.

991
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 30: They have good front, seven good dbs.

992
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 11: You know, we've.

993
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 30: Typically battled battled with them over the years, and we've

994
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 30: been fortunate to come out on top the last you know,

995
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 30: I think four or five times.

996
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 11: You know, they're able to get us this week.

997
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 13: You guys throw a lot of short passes, check downs.

998
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 13: You caught a few of those. I assume you have

999
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 13: to do that against Cleveland because of that threat. If

1000
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 13: you don't, he is going to get to your quarterback.

1001
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 11: Right Yeah.

1002
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 30: I mean I think some of that too is you know,

1003
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 30: them trying to you know, they play out a man

1004
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 30: mixing coverages, so you're trying to toe the line of like, hey,

1005
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 30: let's go let our guys win, but also understanding that

1006
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 30: they're you know, and Joe does a great job of that,

1007
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 30: having kind of that internal clock and you know, going

1008
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 30: through the progression the way he needs to go through

1009
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 30: it to you know, look for our playmakers and then

1010
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 30: if nothing's there, knowing that he's either got to get

1011
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 30: out or dump it down to the running back, tight end,

1012
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 30: whoever it may be. And I thought, you know, he

1013
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 30: did a good job of that really the whole game.

1014
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 30: You know, was able to kind of spin out a

1015
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 30: one early maybe, and then you know, just kind of

1016
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 30: wasn't able to get out on the one that he

1017
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 30: did get.

1018
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 13: The outcome is obviously disappointing, But as an offense and

1019
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 13: you end the season with what you think at least

1020
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 13: is a game winning drive, is that a good note

1021
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 13: to end on.

1022
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 30: I mean, obviously we didn't win, so that's obviously, you know,

1023
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 30: it's tough. And then when you look at you know,

1024
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 30: I think it was you know, we gave him fourteen points,

1025
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 30: So I mean, yes, there are things within the game

1026
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 30: obviously where you know, you bounce back and you go

1027
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 30: down and you know, you go up at the end.

1028
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 30: Obviously that's great, but you know there's there's definitely just

1029
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 30: a lot of stuff to clean up from our end,

1030
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 30: and and you know, I thought the defense played well

1031
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 30: for you know, ninety percent of the game, so I think,

1032
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 30: I mean that they scored what ten points without our

1033
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 30: fourteen or whatever.

1034
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 13: It was six points on offense for them.

1035
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 30: Right, So you know, I think that's definitely something that

1036
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 30: we got to look at and how we can fix

1037
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 30: those things because obviously that's happened to us a couple

1038
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 30: of times this year. But yeah, I mean, there was

1039
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 30: definitely some good drives in there. There was some good

1040
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 30: stuff and we got into a rhythm, but the turnovers

1041
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 30: killed us.

1042
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 13: For the coaching staff and sideline appeared to be incensed

1043
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 13: when they were allowed to celebrate after my one sack.

1044
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 13: You're not supposed to be allowed to come charging off

1045
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 13: the sideline, did you guys you know, want to snap

1046
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 13: the ball and move there.

1047
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 30: I mean, it's something where initially you just see, got

1048
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 30: a lot of guys on the field, so it's all,

1049
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 30: let's stop the ball, and then you kind of see

1050
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,959
Speaker 30: I guess they're celebrating, and then I guess they're letting

1051
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 30: them celebrate. So I mean, obviously it's a great accomplishment,

1052
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 30: but I don't, you know, I'm not gonna I'm not

1053
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 30: gonna comment on that. I mean, I you know, obviously

1054
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 30: that's a you know, big record for him. We were

1055
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 30: trying to obviously not let him get the record, and

1056
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 30: he got it. So I guess if we didn't want that,

1057
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 30: we you know, I don't know. He's a good player

1058
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 30: and obviously had a great year.

1059
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 13: You guys don't want to be in this position next year,

1060
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 13: and there's talent on this team that's gonna put you

1061
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 13: in a position to have a great season next year.

1062
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 13: What's the key? What what must you guys do better

1063
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 13: to avoid missing the playoffs next year?

1064
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 11: It's your question.

1065
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 30: I mean, off the top of my head, I think, uh,

1066
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 30: I think just being maybe more consistent, just whether that's

1067
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 30: throughout games, throughout drives, just you know, we went through

1068
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 30: some really great stretches, were in rhythm and we're you know,

1069
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 30: moving the ball well and everything's kind of clicking. And

1070
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 30: there was obviously games this year too where it was

1071
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 30: hard to get things going, whether that was you know,

1072
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 30: it's hard to get the run game going, or it

1073
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 30: was hard to get the pass game, you know, just

1074
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 30: a collection of things. At one point it felt like

1075
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 30: in our games that we lost or played poorly, and

1076
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 30: that was kind of the The thing is just not

1077
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 30: being able to get in a rhythm and be consistent,

1078
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 30: and even being consistent game to game. You know, obviously

1079
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 30: the NFL is tough and teams play us sometimes differently

1080
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 30: than than other teams. So but I think I think

1081
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 30: that just off the top of my head, just trying

1082
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 30: to be more consistent and trying to you know, obviously

1083
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 30: you always want to limit you know, negative plays, penalties, turnovers,

1084
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 30: things of that nature, and if I like in some

1085
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 30: of our losses that those were kind of things that

1086
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 30: bubbled up a little bit. So I mean, I'm sure everyone,

1087
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 30: you know, everyone hates the taste in our mouth. You know,

1088
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 30: obviously we had a good little two games, lost this game,

1089
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 30: and but we're nowhere near where we want to be.

1090
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 30: And so I think, you know, everyone's gonna look in

1091
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 30: the mirror first, you know, coaches, players, everyone, and then

1092
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 30: you know, we'll come back and reset and come back

1093
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 30: in the offseason and kind of figure out what needs

1094
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 30: to be.

1095
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 13: Done, enjoy some R and R and some family time.

1096
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 11: We'll see it.

1097
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 13: Ot s.

1098
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, thank you.

1099
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 2: Drew Sample after the game, and Dave I said it

1100
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 2: leading into leading into the end of the last segment.

1101
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: Drew Sample is a guy who maybe will never be

1102
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 2: an All pro, won't put up like large numbers in

1103
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 2: a fantasy football tight end. But he's one of those guys,

1104
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: it seems like, and every team needs these guys. You

1105
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 2: can just plug him in there and not have to

1106
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: worry about him. He's gonna do the things that need

1107
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 2: to be done. They won't be headline grabbing or spectacular,

1108
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,479
Speaker 2: but when they aren't done, you say, man, we really

1109
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: missed that. He just gets the He's one of those

1110
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 2: little thing, lunch bucket type of guys. That's a long

1111
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 2: way of saying I have much appreciation for him.

1112
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 4: You know, I think I think you've hit on it,

1113
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 4: and that's the bottom line. I think he's he's one

1114
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 4: of those guys that that does the dirty work and

1115
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 4: James Casey loves him, man, because James Casey was that

1116
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 4: kind of guy. You know, he he did, he did

1117
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 4: the dirty work and whatever the team needs. You need

1118
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 4: a guy to line up at the end line of

1119
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 4: scrimmage and be basically a third offensive tackle. That's Drew Sample.

1120
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 4: You have a guy that you want to line up

1121
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 4: at full back and run, uh you know, almost an

1122
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 4: eye formation with isolation blocker up front of the tailback,

1123
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 4: that's Drew Sample. You want a guy that you can

1124
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 4: motion from one side of the formation to the other

1125
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 4: from the tight end positions, Drew Sample. Now put him

1126
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 4: out in the slot and out as a as a

1127
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 4: wide out, an excerasi.

1128
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 8: That's not his strength.

1129
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 4: He can do it, but that's not his Uh, that's

1130
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 4: not basically what Drew Sample is all about.

1131
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 13: Uh.

1132
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 4: That's for Gasiki and others. But I do think that

1133
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 4: that Drew Sample is has a definite role on this

1134
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 4: football team. And I think he's one of those guys

1135
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 4: that he's an unsung hero. Bottom line, I think his

1136
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 4: teammates would say that, yeah, you know, we're not the

1137
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 4: same football team without Drew Sample.

1138
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: He he's part of a room. And we mentioned Mike

1139
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 2: is sicky and Tanner Hudson is Yeah.

1140
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 28: Right.

1141
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 2: I felt bad yesterday. On a final note, I hate

1142
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 2: it ended on a negative note. No Offan fumbled for

1143
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 2: the third time this year, and each one has been

1144
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: returned for a touchdown, which seems like a statistical impossibility.

1145
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 4: That's mind blowing.

1146
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: It is.

1147
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 4: It's mind blowing. It's it's almost like, stay away from

1148
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 4: Noah Man. He's got some.

1149
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 11: Bad juju going on.

1150
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 4: You know, it's like jeez, every time it's on the ground,

1151
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 4: he's picked up and going the other way for a touchdown.

1152
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 4: That is uh, that's crazy. No offense, he doesn't he

1153
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 4: doesn't want to be that answer that guy that said

1154
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 4: the answer to the trivia question, you know, because yes,

1155
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 4: that is that's a good trivia question.

1156
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 2: No doubt. All right, hang tag more to get to

1157
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 2: we'll hear from Joseph Osai as we continue Bengals Line

1158
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: of the Bengals Radio Network in seven hundred WLW. We

1159
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: keep moving right along on this Monday night of Bengals

1160
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: Line at the Bengals Radio networking seven hundred double l W. Wait,

1161
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 2: flip the tweet offense and defense. Let's go back to

1162
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: the defense and to the edge. Wayne box Miller in

1163
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 2: the pregame made Joseph o side part of his conversation.

1164
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: He wrapped up unfortunately with an injury yesterday and I playing,

1165
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 2: but wrapped up a heck of a season overall with

1166
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 2: five sacks in a season that takes him into free agency.

1167
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 2: Here is Joseph Osai on the season with the Wayne

1168
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: box Miller.

1169
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 31: I got to tell you, man, I've been looking at

1170
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 31: the pictures online and the fashion and that the dapper approach.

1171
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 29: Talk to me about that style.

1172
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 21: Man, Man, I appreciate that. There's definitely a lot of

1173
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 21: I thought that goes into that. With my team, you know,

1174
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 21: I got a tailor and then I got a couple

1175
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 21: of guys in New York that keep me, keep me fresh,

1176
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 21: you know what I mean. So, yeah, it's a preparation work.

1177
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 21: We're doing the off season, so there's not a lot

1178
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 21: to do in during the season. And then during the season,

1179
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 21: my Taylor will pop down every now and then.

1180
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 11: His name is Pharaoh.

1181
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 21: Actually plugging him right now, you know, I want to

1182
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 21: get my guy some recognition. His name is Pharaoh, and

1183
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 21: he'll pop down even now and during the season and

1184
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 21: checking with me, clean up some measurements and and just

1185
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 21: to make sure we're on the same page with the

1186
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 21: with the outfits.

1187
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 31: Is that something that maybe is a post career type

1188
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 31: move to get into this, you.

1189
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 29: Know what I mean?

1190
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

1191
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 29: It could it could be, It could be.

1192
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 21: You know, there's there's obviously, uh the blessing that one

1193
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 21: of the many blessings of this game is when you

1194
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 21: get out the game, you have so many different avenues

1195
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 21: to you could you could you could tap into uh,

1196
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 21: based on the connections and the things you dapped into

1197
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 21: when when you were playing. So that's that's could be

1198
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 21: one of them. We'll have to see circumstances, situation. If

1199
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 21: I'm raising the family, it'll be a little tougher, you know,

1200
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 21: as if if I wasn't. So uh, we'll see, we'll see.

1201
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 21: It's it's I'm definitely keeping that door open.

1202
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 28: Though.

1203
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 31: One thing I remember about you when you got here

1204
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 31: is talk about the relationship with your sister and the house.

1205
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 29: She inspired you, and is.

1206
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 31: She still sending you quotes and keeping you going now

1207
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 31: and there?

1208
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 21: And now see she's expanding that to the to the

1209
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 21: family because you know, my little brothers, one of them

1210
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 21: was in the CFL he just got done. And then

1211
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,760
Speaker 21: in case she just got picked up by the dolphin.

1212
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 21: She was saying, Bible coats in there and she was

1213
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,879
Speaker 21: saying all that. And she even I think last year

1214
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 21: she wrote on my mirror with some posted you know,

1215
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 21: some affirmations.

1216
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 11: All that stuff.

1217
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 21: So she's she's great, man.

1218
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 29: She is talk about how to helps you.

1219
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 31: I mean, you know, you're a faithfeeled person. I'm a

1220
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 31: faithfuled person and having that information reminders that you're not

1221
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 31: walking this walk along, walking.

1222
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 21: Along, and one of them just say it says open

1223
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 21: your eyes and realize that God has not left you.

1224
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 21: He has been with you this whole time. So you know,

1225
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 21: just again, when when you're down and you can know

1226
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 21: those words by heart, but it's different when you when

1227
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 21: you're down and then you're in the bathroom and you

1228
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 21: read it, or when you're down and you look on

1229
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 21: your phone and you read it. So I'm super big

1230
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 21: on mentor I know DJ DJ has even helped me

1231
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 21: take it a step further this year with meditation, you know,

1232
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 21: and just positively speaking to yourself because even though you're

1233
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 21: not saying it out loud in your head, you're speaking

1234
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 21: to yourself all day every day, so you hear yourself

1235
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 21: the most. So why not be positive? Why not let

1236
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 21: that voice ahead all day be positive? And those affirmations

1237
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 21: of speaking speaking positivity. Just I don't know how to

1238
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 21: explain it. I don't know the science behind it.

1239
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 29: But it works to works.

1240
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, sure, yeah we do, so it works. And just again,

1241
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 21: I would say another thing, who is having a partner

1242
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 21: doesn't have to be an intimate partner, but just having

1243
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 21: a partner that you can share that with and keep

1244
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 21: keep keep each other accountable, uplift each other. Because you're

1245
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 21: not supposed to have the answers twenty four seven, three

1246
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 21: hundred and sixty five days a year. You're not supposed

1247
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 21: to have the answers all the time. But someone on

1248
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 21: a day where you're feeling down could get you up.

1249
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 21: Or in a day when someone else is feeling now,

1250
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 21: you can get them up. And you know what I mean,

1251
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 21: just human beings, we're not meant to be alone. We're

1252
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 21: meant to have a little congregation and little community. So

1253
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 21: find find that community. Find find one or two people

1254
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 21: that you can be in community with.

1255
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 31: All right, I do something new this year called the

1256
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 31: Gratitude Games. All that year, three people you're grateful for,

1257
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 31: two things that have impacted you, and then one thing

1258
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 31: you're hopeful for. So if I say three people that

1259
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 31: impacted you, who would that be?

1260
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 21: Three people that impacted me? I'm just gonna go ahead

1261
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 21: and say, with my NFL career, three people that have

1262
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 21: impacted me. I would go with Trey Hendrickson, with the

1263
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 21: way he's took me under his wing. I would go

1264
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 21: with Sam Hubbard. He showed me how to come in

1265
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 21: day in and day out and and give give the

1266
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 21: same effort. Thirdly, I would say Coach Duff, my coach

1267
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 21: last year. He's just the positivity he brought every day,

1268
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 21: the affirmations you brought every day, the the the consistency

1269
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 21: he brought every day, you know. And I can go on.

1270
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 21: I can go with bj I can go with cam

1271
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 21: the community of cam Sample. I can go with my

1272
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 21: friends down in downtown at Frankie Ships and Savories, you.

1273
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:47,080

1275
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 21: girlfriend and go with my sister and my family.

1276
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 11: So I got a village.

1277
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 29: I got a village.

1278
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 21: And that's why I'm so thankful and grateful to God,

1279
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 21: you know, for this blessing and my walk is though

1280
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 21: it's been tough, you know, Like I said, it's helped

1281
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 21: me build a village of people that can that could

1282
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 21: be there with me.

1283
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 29: Yea, let's talk about two things that have impacted you.

1284
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 21: Two things that impacted me.

1285
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 11: I would say my one, my injuries. Good.

1286
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 21: You know, anything good or bad once you're a child

1287
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 21: of God, it is for your good, it's for your betterment.

1288
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 11: I think in the Bible.

1289
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 21: Don't quote me, uh specifically, but it says it says,

1290
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 21: be thankful when you when you face.

1291
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 31: Be thankful James one, Chapter one, consider yourself, you know

1292
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 31: what I mean, when you go through times.

1293
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 21: So I really try to sit with that and all

1294
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 21: my everything I go through, my injuries, my my whatever

1295
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 21: in life that impacts me in in a way because

1296
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 21: it helps me grow, like I come out of it stronger,

1297
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 21: I would say that. And just my new relationship, you know,

1298
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 21: I just I'm recently, I recently you know I have

1299
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 21: a girlfriend. Now, you know, I try I call my wife.

1300
00:58:59,280 --> 00:58:59,919
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

1301
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 21: Quote me, unquote me, I don't know, Uh, I call

1302
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 21: it my wife. But because that's truly what it is.

1303
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 21: We the way we are involved in each other's life

1304
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 21: and how we how she builds me up, How she

1305
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 21: builds me up, how she how she's willing to stand

1306
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 21: in that gap for me, how she's willing to make

1307
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 21: sure I'm okay with being vulnerable with her, you know

1308
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 21: what I mean, and then at times helping me learn

1309
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 21: how to be stronger for her. So she's been a

1310
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 21: huge impact in my life. And that's why right now,

1311
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 21: which is that's my girlfriend, but I call it my

1312
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 21: wife because she has all the attributes.

1313
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 11: She's not waiting till just.

1314
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 21: A ring on it to to to do the things

1315
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 21: that really matter, you know what I mean. So she's

1316
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 21: been a really big impact. And yeah, that's.

1317
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 29: It all right, bro. Always appreciation man, man, thank.

1318
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 11: You for having me.

1319
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 2: Joseph Osai summing up his season and Dave, he's twenty eight,

1320
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 2: twenty six. He's one of those guys who feels like

1321
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 2: he's been around for a long time. He's four years

1322
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: in and he still is only twenty five years old.

1323
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a free agent and boy, you talk

1324
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 2: about young and productive, and it's gonna be an interesting

1325
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna command a lot of money, and

1326
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 2: if he were like an outside player, I think the

1327
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Bengals would be looking at him saying we need somebody

1328
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: like that. So it makes for an interesting dynamic this offseason.

1329
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,919
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Lancey right on the money right there.

1330
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's going to get a lot of interest.

1331
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of teams are going to be

1332
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 2: contacting his representation, uh to see what what the deal is.

1333
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 2: But I think Joseph aside really likes Jerry Montgomery, the

1334
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: defensive line coach. He likes Cincinnati, he likes Zach Taylor.

1335
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 2: He likes the way the organization is being run. He

1336
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 2: likes the way he's being treated. And you look at it.

1337
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Joseph A Side, Miles Murphy can sample. We haven't talked

1338
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: about Shamar Stewart. I mean, here's another young stud that's

1339
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: you know, got a lot of meat on the bone left.

1340
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he he's far from the finished product. Isaiah Fosky.

1341
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 2: You know they they just brought in. He's he's on

1342
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 2: you know, a fifty three men roster guy. Will he

1343
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: be one of the guys next year, particularly if they

1344
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: draft a guy maybe not Cedric Johnson. I mean, he's

1345
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 2: developing still, he's showing, he's making plays. They do have

1346
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: some young talent that they can grow and develop on

1347
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 2: the edge, and that's an area that every NFL franchise

1348
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 2: wants to have a lot of depth at that defensive

1349
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 2: end position because it's one of the most important positions

1350
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 2: on the whole football team. Boy, it's such a great

1351
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 2: point about depth because if you can pull i know,

1352
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: whatever it is, five or six snaps away from a

1353
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 2: number of guys and give them to another guy and

1354
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 2: that just lightens your load a little bit. You're fresher

1355
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 2: late in the game.

1356
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 4: It's huge, it is, and you know, when you're not

1357
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 4: on the field and you're not getting hurt, you know,

1358
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 4: it removes that injury factor. And when you are on

1359
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 4: the field rested a little bit more because of snap's

1360
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 4: being alleviated, that minimizes the injury risk as well. So

1361
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 4: you can never have enough good edge rushers.

1362
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 2: When we continue back up front on the other side

1363
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 2: of the ball, or Land No Brown on the day

1364
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 2: and the season and the off season ahead as we continue,

1365
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 2: He's Dave lapham My Blaance Pacallister. Hey, thanks for hanging

1366
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 2: out with us tonight, Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio

1367
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 2: Network and seven hundred doublw Hey. We are moving right

1368
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 2: along on this Monday night. We do it every Monday,

1369
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: our final Monday of the year. Unfortunately, would have loved

1370
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 2: to playoff run, but it is what it is. So

1371
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 2: we break down the season it was, and part of

1372
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 2: that is Orlando Brown on the performance of the offensive line.

1373
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 2: Orlando after the game met with the media with his

1374
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 2: two kids on his lap and talked about what took

1375
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 2: place this season and what's ahead.

1376
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 32: You know, I hate that obviously I was a guy

1377
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 32: that yeah he broke the record on but yeah, yeah,

1378
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 32: I feel like overall, man, we had a good plan.

1379
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 7: I mean, big guys, I probably gone out of so

1380
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 7: many times in year career.

1381
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 8: That's got to be a guy you have a lot.

1382
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 11: Of man, I mean, oh yeah, a ton of respect. Man.

1383
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 32: You know, it's it's it's weird. You know, we we

1384
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 32: graduated high school the same year.

1385
01:02:58,160 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 11: You were, same age.

1386
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 32: He came out of college a year but just being

1387
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 32: in Baltimore, Casey and here, I mean, man, I might

1388
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 32: have played him twelve times.

1389
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 11: This might have been my twelfth time planer. Man, So

1390
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 11: a toend of respect for him.

1391
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 32: You know, he's a guy that works hard, does everything

1392
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 32: the right way, and he's great.

1393
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 8: Us saying what did you think of what happened?

1394
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 7: Because I don't think anybody knew that their entire bench

1395
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 7: was going to run onto the field while you guys

1396
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 7: are trying to drive and score go ahead touchdown.

1397
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 8: Did that surprise you when that happened?

1398
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 32: No, man, I think, just based off my experience, when

1399
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 32: records are broken, it's normally some type of celibatory effects.

1400
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 11: You can't. Okay, you gotta hold on the segment.

1401
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 7: I wanted to ask you because you understand the standard

1402
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 7: inside this room that it's you guys should be playing

1403
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 7: in the playoffs, if you should be competing for championships.

1404
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 7: How disappointing is it that you're going to be watching

1405
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 7: next week in the playoffs instead of playing.

1406
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 11: I don't know a little on seconds, it's disappointed, man.

1407
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 32: Like I said, I feel like we're a team that

1408
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 32: we got the star power and the firepower to be

1409
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 32: playing here meaningful, meaningful football in January, and so the

1410
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 32: fact that we haven't been for the last three years

1411
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 32: is tough.

1412
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 11: It's frustrating. But we've got to figure it out.

1413
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 33: You know.

1414
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 11: It's too many times I think over the course.

1415
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 32: Of the season that we didn't do enough, and so

1416
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 32: whatever that is we got to find.

1417
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 11: We got to find a medium and.

1418
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 32: Get better and be able to come away with wins

1419
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 32: in those situations.

1420
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Orlando Brown after the game, Dave Orlando is thirty and

1421
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: his offensive lineman get older. I would imagine you try

1422
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 2: to compensate a little bit for age and maybe a

1423
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 2: loss of a step or so, and he seems to

1424
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 2: have gotten caught a couple of time. He's got that

1425
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 2: real quick jump off the line, and I think he's

1426
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 2: led the team in penalties with ten. He's been called

1427
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 2: for some false starts. What do you make of his

1428
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 2: performance at that age? Going forward? How do you feel

1429
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 2: how do you feel about him and this offensive line

1430
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 2: going forward?

1431
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Orlando Brown has got a great resource

1432
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 4: for his future years that he's got left in the

1433
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 4: National Football League. And his dad, Zeus Brown, who played,

1434
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 4: you know a long time, very different style of player.

1435
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 4: Zous Brown is a massive man. I'm telling you what

1436
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 4: and not that Orlando Brown's not. But I mean Zeus

1437
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 4: Brown could lift the world. It looked like he's like

1438
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 4: Atlas man. He's crazy and uh, you know, Orlando Brown says,

1439
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 4: that's my hero. I mean, my dad's my hero man

1440
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 4: because I mean he played the game in the National

1441
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 4: Football League at the level that I aspired to be.

1442
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 4: And I do think that Orlando Brown is a great

1443
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 4: leader of men, There's no question about that. Uh.

1444
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 11: He's a He's a.

1445
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 4: Great dad, great husband, great teammate, a leader of the

1446
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 4: football team, you know, captain type guy. He's got that

1447
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 4: type of personality. I think Jerry Montgomery likes him a

1448
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 4: lot as a as a football player and as a

1449
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 4: person as a leader. I do think that that Orlando

1450
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 4: probably feels like he could do a little bit more

1451
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 4: for his football team, uh than what took place this year,

1452
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 4: because they didn't make the playoffs and that's his ultimate goal.

1453
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 4: He is the epitome of a team player, There's no

1454
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 4: question about that. And if the Cincinnati Bengals don't make

1455
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 4: the playoffs, he feels like he slighted the football team.

1456
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: He mentioned during that conversation that Miles Garrett got him.

1457
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Garrett has gotten a lot of people in his career, obviously,

1458
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you before we wrap up

1459
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: this segment, because you've mentioned him before and I love

1460
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 2: your stories. Koy Bacon should not be lost in the

1461
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 2: history of Bengals pass rushers for what he did. Believe

1462
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 2: it was nineteen seventy six and unofficially before it was

1463
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 2: recognized twenty two sacks. Was what was Koy Bacon like

1464
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 2: to watch as a pass rusher?

1465
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 4: Coy Bacon was unique. The dude was hell on wheels. Man,

1466
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 4: tell me he was just one of those guys that

1467
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 4: had natural strength. I mean he didn't. He wasn't a

1468
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 4: weight room guy. I don't think I ever saw him

1469
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 4: in there.

1470
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 31: Now.

1471
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,479
Speaker 4: I was in the weight room pretty regularly, just about

1472
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 4: every day really. But he could lift the stadium, you know,

1473
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 4: just he was just naturally gifted strong. He was born

1474
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 4: to play football, There's no doubt about it. And I

1475
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 4: remember Tiger Johnson saying, yeah, Coy Bacon, he's just one

1476
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 4: of those guys. That man, he can roll out of

1477
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 4: bed and just you know, his eyes half closed and

1478
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 4: rush the passer and get himself five sacks. He's a

1479
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 4: five sack guy. He's a handful of sack guy. And

1480
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 4: he was immense, he really was. And twenty two sacks

1481
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 4: back then, look at it. Fourteen game season, that's the thing.

1482
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 4: And they didn't throw it as much. You know, maybe

1483
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five is a game in fourteen games as

1484
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 4: opposed to like forty forty five and you know, in

1485
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 4: seventeen games now. So the ratio there is like, you know,

1486
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 4: off the charts. And he was something else, and he

1487
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 4: liked to celebrate. He liked his he liked his bourbon,

1488
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 4: his whiskey. He was a man's man in that regard

1489
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 4: to and Koy Bacon, one of those guys that he

1490
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 4: would defend himself. Put up the dukes very quickly. You

1491
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 4: didn't want to necessarily get caught in a room by

1492
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 4: yourself with Koyen Courty Baker and the dukes were put up.

1493
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 2: I love it, I love it. Down the stretcher will

1494
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: go to close out our first hour or second hour.

1495
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 2: Already here from T Higgins up next Bengals line on

1496
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: the Bengals Radio Networking seven hundred double l W down

1497
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 2: the stretch we go, final segment of our number two type.

1498
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 2: We've saved time for T Higgins. Six catches yesterday, sixty

1499
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 2: seven yards and a touchdown. Here's t after the game.

1500
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 34: Obviously it's tough, you know, you know we put was

1501
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 34: able to put a job together at the end. But

1502
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 34: you know, got to look back at you know, the

1503
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 34: first half. Man, we two turnods, touchdowns. We don't have

1504
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 34: those turnovers. We win the game, you know what I mean?

1505
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 34: But you know I want I can't even say get

1506
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 34: back to practice and fix it. But at the end

1507
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 34: of the season, you know, it was good to have

1508
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 34: a you know, a last job like that to to

1509
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 34: end the season, you know what I'm saying.

1510
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 11: So yeah, I'll take that. Bouse.

1511
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 8: Is this three years in a row, tea not to

1512
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 8: make the playoffs.

1513
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 16: It's tough.

1514
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 34: Obviously we played a game to go in championships, you

1515
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 34: know I mean, so it's tough.

1516
01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 8: We can't just all.

1517
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 34: We gotta do is just come back next year and

1518
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 34: try to do it, you know.

1519
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 8: What I mean.

1520
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 7: So you're one of the guys that has an important

1521
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 7: voice on this team. Joe's talked about change, Jamar is

1522
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 7: hinted at change. Do you feel like there's a lot

1523
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 7: of change needed for this team to get back to

1524
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 7: where you need to go?

1525
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,520
Speaker 11: Above my pay grade.

1526
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 34: I do my job, catch boss from Joe and try

1527
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 34: to try to.

1528
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 11: Help the team win games. Man, that's above my pay grade.

1529
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 24: What it looks like he's gonna be able to get

1530
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 24: you guys out of all.

1531
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 27: Back in controls.

1532
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 8: You know, just just gotta have just got to believe

1533
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 8: in them, you know what I mean. At the end

1534
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 8: of the day, we believe him.

1535
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 34: This year obviously we fell short, and you just gotta

1536
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 34: come back next year and just just keep believing in

1537
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 34: this philosophy.

1538
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 8: That I feel like they didn't have their stritting corners

1539
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 8: out there. Half the ward went down. Uh, did they

1540
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 8: do anything to take away the arm wall? They played

1541
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:50,759
Speaker 8: a lot of a lot of cloud.

1542
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 34: Uh, we got a lot of a lot of cloud

1543
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 34: in in Bursa who was able to still get a

1544
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 34: few de boss, But yeah, that's what they did.

1545
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 25: Each was that about his message to the team after

1546
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 25: the game, and he said that it was kind of

1547
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 25: fitting this loss the way it went.

1548
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 8: What are your thoughts on that?

1549
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 34: Oh?

1550
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree what I'm saying.

1551
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 34: I gonna repeat what he said because I don't know

1552
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 34: if he said that's y'all, but it was definitely fitting too.

1553
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,719
Speaker 15: Is to make sure this stuff can happen again next year.

1554
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 11: Win win, At the end of the day, we just

1555
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 11: got a way to find a way to win.

1556
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 2: T Higgins wrapping up the season and Dave to wrap

1557
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 2: up his season fifty nine catches, eight and forty six yards,

1558
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 2: eleven touchdowns and uh, man again, back to what I

1559
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 2: said earlier. Any team that's got Jamar Chase on one

1560
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: side and T Higgins on the other end and Joe

1561
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 2: Burrow in between him, you've got a chance. It's just

1562
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 2: you got to take advantage of it. But man, what

1563
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 2: what a trio and what a season? By Tea with

1564
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 2: eleven touchdowns.

1565
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, Chase Brown's got eleven

1566
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 4: touchdowns combined with his rushing and receiving touchdowns and T

1567
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,560
Speaker 4: Higgins with eleven receiving touchdowns. That's a hell of a

1568
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 4: one to two punch right there in terms of scoring

1569
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 4: twenty two touchdown between the two of those guys. That's

1570
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 4: pretty prolific, that really is. But T Higgins, the thing

1571
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 4: about him not only a great player, you know that's

1572
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 4: just been blessed. The Good Lord blessed him. He knows

1573
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 4: he's been blessed. He's very humble, extremely popular with his teammates.

1574
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 4: You know, he never has a bad thing to say

1575
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 4: about anybody. They don't have a bad thing to say

1576
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 4: about him. He's just a delight to be around in

1577
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 4: the locker room. And you know that you can't put

1578
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 4: a value on that. To coaches, ownership, everybody loves to

1579
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 4: have players that are not going to be causing any

1580
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 4: kind of problems out in their community or anywhere else,

1581
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 4: and T Higgins is a great example of that.

1582
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 2: Still ahead on our third hour tonight, a little bit

1583

1599
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 2: with us tonight. I'm Lance McAllister. He is Dave Lapham.

1600
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 2: We've been sorting through yesterday, looking back through the season,

1601
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 2: and we'll spend some time looking ahead of the off

1602
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 2: season as well. Let's getting a little bit more from Zach.

1603
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 2: He addressed the season as a whole, in the importance

1604
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 2: of this off season after the game Zach would to look.

1605
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 12: At why you loss is one, what's the biggest reason?

1606
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 5: Sof it was it was a strange game obviously to

1607
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 5: give them fourteen points, and I felt like we had

1608
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 5: pretty good troll early in the game and had a

1609
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,879
Speaker 5: chance to really you know, create a lot of separation

1610
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 5: and gave them fourteen points and then the defense gives

1611
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 5: up six total, you know, two field goals, and and

1612
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 5: that's got to be enough to win. And you know,

1613
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 5: you just look at there, there's little things that got us.

1614
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 5: We've missed two extra points, had two turnovers for touchdowns,

1615
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 5: and then they had a two minute drive to win

1616
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 5: the game. And it's just frustrating, and it's it's it's

1617
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 5: just frustrating.

1618
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 6: That's the biggest thing.

1619
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 5: And and then that we weren't able just to finish

1620
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 5: it in some area, finished that game and and find

1621
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 5: a way to get a win. What did you tell

1622
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 5: that's it's a little bit fitting, to be honest with you,

1623
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 5: and in terms of how our season's gone. And it

1624
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 5: doesn't make it right, doesn't make it It's just you know,

1625
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 5: several times we we've had games where we played well

1626
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 5: in different areas and we just we just haven't found

1627
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 5: a way to put it all together. And then there's

1628
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 5: been games in the last couple of weeks we had,

1629
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 5: but this is one we need to finish off, you know,

1630
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 5: a individual game, and this is how these divisional games go,

1631
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 5: and it usually comes down to a play at the end,

1632
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,640
Speaker 5: one score game, and we just we weren't able to

1633
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 5: finish it all.

1634
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 4: What was a kind of what Cleveland was able to

1635
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 4: do to be successful and their.

1636
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 5: Final well, I mean they hit a couple of throws

1637
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 5: over there in the flat and then got a couple

1638
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 5: of chunks, and I thought we did a good job

1639
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 5: stopping them for two plays and then and then they

1640
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 5: get the one that would just kind of get them,

1641
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 5: you know, ten yards a get closer and put them a.

1642
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 6: Field goal range, and then their kicker did a great

1643
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 6: job finishing off.

1644
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 13: Wouldn't think it's been this year about not being able.

1645
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 11: To close out games.

1646
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like you said, common Beam, there's something that

1647
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 9: you FULI on the offseason.

1648
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 5: That you could that's something that we're going to look,

1649
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 5: you know, to see here today and do that answer.

1650
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 5: It's challenging and and so we reflect back. Obviously obviously

1651
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 5: we had the answer. We would have pointed today. So

1652
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 5: that's just something we got.

1653
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 6: To really look at.

1654
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 12: Was there a thought of, I know you needed the touchdown,

1655
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 12: but the thought of taking more time off the clock

1656
01:14:58,560 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 12: it's hard.

1657
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always you'd love to score for one second left,

1658
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,640
Speaker 5: but it's it's challenging if you if you run it

1659
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 5: and you waisted down on a zero yard game just

1660
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,879
Speaker 5: just for the sake of running the clock is challenging.

1661
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 6: So we've been in that situation a lot.

1662
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 5: Or sometimes we don't score on the first play and

1663
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 5: we do that, let's get points on the board, go

1664
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 5: get a stop and win the game, and.

1665
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 12: Just work out what makes it so tough.

1666
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 5: Incredibly to mean, he's he's the best player in on

1667
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 5: the defense side of the ball. He's the best player, and

1668
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 5: he recks every single play. You gotta account for him.

1669
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 5: They got a really good defensive line. They got a

1670
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 5: really good defense. Round I'm not gonna just minimize it

1671
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 5: and say that a good defensive line. It's a really

1672
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 5: good defense that's been challenging for every team they've played

1673
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 5: all season. You know, you just look at the last

1674
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 5: couple of games they played. They do a great job.

1675
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 5: They make it hard. You got to earn everything. I

1676
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 5: thought we we found some success at different points in

1677
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 5: the game and and you know, just weren't able to

1678
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 5: score more than the eighteen or whatever we scored.

1679
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 28: Happened a year that you know, you guys have had

1680
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 28: to ending of this game. You know, defense is a

1681
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,640
Speaker 28: chance to make a play and the season on a

1682
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 28: high note. What kind of a taste does the leave

1683
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 28: just you know, having it in the way that it

1684
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 28: has so many times.

1685
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, not a good one. Not a good taste.

1686
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 10: A long conversation with the officials after the Garrett sack.

1687
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 3: What was going on there?

1688
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 6: What was There's five minutes left in our season.

1689
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 5: We're playing for our lives here and I was never

1690
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 5: told that we're going to stop the game, and in

1691
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 5: a critical moment like that, and the refs just said

1692
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 5: that they made a decision that they were going to

1693
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 5: stop the game, and they said they tried to do

1694
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 5: it as quickly as possible. I didn't feel that we

1695
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 5: didn't sub We're trying to be on the ball and

1696
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 5: go and play with tempo, and the Empire just held

1697
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 5: the ball so that we couldn't do anything. And I'm

1698
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 5: yelling at Joe, get on the ball. We didn't sub

1699
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 5: we're going and then we couldn't play, And so again

1700
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 5: trying to get an answer was not easy. They just

1701
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 5: said that they made a decision as a as a

1702
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 5: crew to stop the game when that happened. I guess

1703
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 5: it didn't matter when it happened. It just they were

1704
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 5: going to stop the game. And I was never informed that.

1705
01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 5: They didn't say one word. We meet with them in

1706
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 5: the ninety minute meeting before the game, they never said

1707
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 5: one word about that.

1708
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 35: How did you kind of did you approach this like

1709
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 35: a normal game for Burrow in terms.

1710
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 11: Of Week E team.

1711
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 27: You obviously played the full share of reps.

1712
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we we We played that game to win

1713
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 5: the game, and and every decision we made, and you know,

1714
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 5: I know I was made at the sack record. And

1715
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 5: he's earned that. He has earned that. He has earned

1716
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 5: that because and I say that because we we weren't.

1717
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 5: We weren't saying we we don't want to walk out

1718
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 5: of here without him break. We just want to win

1719
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:33,640
Speaker 5: the game. So we're gonna call whatever we did to

1720
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 5: win it. And but to his credit, I mean, the

1721
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 5: guy never he rarely has one on ones ever ever,

1722
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 5: And so for him to be able to do that

1723
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 5: and get that record. I didn't track the other times

1724
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 5: those records were broken, but this was unbelievable that he

1725
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 5: was able to do that with with everything that is

1726
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 5: put on him on the tape and minimized. And they

1727
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 5: don't play with leads, you know, typically, and I'm trying

1728
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 5: take a shot out and that's just the truth of

1729
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 5: it this year.

1730
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 6: So that's a credit to him. Man, He's he's earned that.

1731
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 3: Why did you choose to bring flac going on the quarterbacks?

1732
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 6: Just to bit your body there?

1733
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 5: They were really loading up the front if you saw

1734
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 5: some of the short yards plays, and Flacco is obviously

1735
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 5: a much bigger body rhythm on.

1736
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 12: The drive to put you all ahead late. What kind

1737
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 12: of baby it enables you'll to have the rhythm there

1738
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 12: wait in the second half that you maybe did earlier.

1739
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 8: In the house.

1740
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 5: I don't think we had a lot of possessions really,

1741
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 5: you know. I think that was I don't know what

1742
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 5: possession that was in the drive We had won in

1743
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 5: the third quarter if I remember correctly, and finished, you know,

1744
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 5: the quarter ended with one and so it just didn't

1745
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 5: didn't feel like there was We had a lot of

1746
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 5: plays in the second half.

1747
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 6: We had a bunch of the first half, and I

1748
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 6: was a man saying.

1749
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 15: Zach went over a thousand yards rushing today. He also

1750
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 15: caught a touchdown pass. Is he one of the very

1751
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 15: biggest highlights for you from Yeah?

1752
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 5: He I thought he had an outstanding season and very

1753
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 5: dependable for us. Has really worked hard to be the

1754
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 5: player that he is, and so for the production to

1755
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 5: match that. I'm really proud to Chase, proud of the

1756
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 5: guys up front, you know that have helped pave the

1757
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 5: way for those rushing yards, probably Justin Hill. You know,

1758
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 5: Justin's done a great job getting that room, getting getting

1759
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 5: them Narissa full potential. So I was, let me see these,

1760
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 5: these milestones and achievements are bittersweet when when it happens

1761
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 5: like this, but at the same time, when a player

1762
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 5: puts a lot into his work and his craft, his

1763
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,560
Speaker 5: career and you're happy to see them Tempriso's milestones that

1764
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 5: will be with them forever.

1765
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 15: I know you suggested this, We're hinted at this before,

1766
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 15: but how confident are you that there's a brain power

1767
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 15: in the building, both coaching staff, administration, all of it

1768
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 15: together to make sure this doesn't happen next year.

1769
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 6: I'm very confident why why.

1770
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 5: We have really good people and I enjoyed working with them,

1771
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 5: and missing is all of us equally, and I just

1772
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 5: I trust everybody.

1773
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor. With reflections on what went right and what

1774
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,919
Speaker 2: went wrong this season and the importance of this offseason,

1775
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 2: boy Dave, the AFC North is going to be interesting altogether.

1776
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 2: What the Bengals do. The Steelers have managed to make

1777
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs again. I'll be danged if they didn't make

1778
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs shunting last night. But the Ravens have had

1779
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 2: their issues and struggles and Cleveland has moved on from

1780
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski. Today, It's going to be a really interesting

1781
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 2: division this offseason.

1782
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 4: It really is. I mean it's going to be anybody's division.

1783
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 4: It was this year, and the Bengals I think would

1784
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 4: have been right in the thick of it if they

1785
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 4: didn't suffer the injuries that they suffered and couldn't play

1786
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 4: with enough consistency. And that's what the Pittsburgh Steelers and

1787
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 4: the Baltimore Ravens did. They battled, and they had their

1788
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 4: ups and their downs, but you know, they were the

1789
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 4: more consistent football team or a more consistent football team

1790
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 4: than the Bengals, and they end up battling for the

1791
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 4: division title, but nobody ran away with it. And I

1792
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 4: don't think that's gonna happen happen next year. I think

1793
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 4: the Bengals if they can have a good offseason with

1794
01:20:56,680 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 4: these young players, particularly the rookies and first second your

1795
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 4: players going into their third year. I remember vividly as

1796
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 4: a player how important those offseasons were in terms of

1797
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 4: growth and development. And you know, as a rookie, you

1798
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 4: don't know what you don't know, and it's like, man,

1799
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 4: you're just overwhelmed. You're just trying to survive. And then

1800
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 4: you understand, Oh, I see what the National Football League's about. Now,

1801
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 4: now I'm going to hit the weight room. I'm going

1802
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 4: to make sure that I understand everything mentally, and I'm

1803
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 4: going to be ready to play my second year. And

1804
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 4: if you're a second year player going into your third,

1805
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 4: it's the same thing, and you want to make bigger

1806
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 4: contributions for your football team. So it's going to be

1807
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 4: interesting to see who steps up.

1808
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 2: That was Zach Taylor on What's Ahead. Let's hear more

1809
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 2: from Joe Burrow and What's Ahead as we continue with

1810
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 2: Bengals Line on the Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred

1811
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:45,720

1812
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 2: hundred WLW Lance Bacallister, he is Dave Lapham.

1813
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 4: Yes, Sir Lance, And this portion of Bengals Line is

1814
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,280

Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals, providing the best care for the best fans.

1816
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 2: Joe a very reflective of this season and the importance

1817
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: of the off season. Let's listen in more from QB one.

1818
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 13: I don't think I had to catch in the second

1819
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 13: half until that last right anyway, again, you opened it

1820
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 13: up or anything.

1821
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 3: No, not not particularly what we wanted to come in

1822
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 3: and run ball, try to mitigate the effect of their

1823
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 3: of their rush, and I think we ran it well.

1824
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 3: We got to a point in the game that we

1825
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 3: couldn't really do that anymore, so then we start dropping

1826
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 3: back and throwing it a little more, and that we affected.

1827
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 9: I think I don't think they did a top corners shot.

1828
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: Really did that? Did you try to take advantage of

1829
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 3: that or or was it kind of that they went

1830
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 3: into Yeah, I think we did take advantage of that.

1831
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 3: For the most part, I think we moved the ball

1832
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 3: well all day. You know, it came down to to

1833
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 3: them making a plan on a goal on the little

1834
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 3: goal line, putting their hand up, getting a tip, and

1835
01:22:55,479 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 3: then we fumbled and gave them another seven points. So

1836
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 3: they without those two corners out there, they certainly called

1837
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 3: the game a little differently than they would have otherwise.

1838
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 3: And I also thought we responded well to that and

1839
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 3: had the answers to those coverages as we were facing.

1840
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 14: Talked about needing to find a way to be on

1841
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 14: the field more. When you've reflected on this season with

1842
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 14: so many of your injuries in fluke, what do you

1843
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 14: mean by that and what can you do if you

1844
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 14: can do anything?

1845
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't I

1846
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 3: don't know if there's anything I can do about that.

1847
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 3: I work really hard to be great at this and

1848
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 3: try to put myself in a good position and put

1849
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 3: the team in a good position. So whatever that looks like,

1850
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I'm gonna certainly think critically about that

1851
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 3: and maybe make some changes.

1852
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 22: Maybe not.

1853
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 3: Maybe I decide that what I'm doing is great and

1854
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 3: put myself in a good position, and you know, things happen,

1855
01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 3: but certainly we'll think about it.

1856
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 9: How are you feeling right now?

1857
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel good. I feel good. Yeah, I feel

1858
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 3: good mentally and physically.

1859
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 17: How would you rate your performances since you've been back

1860
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 17: and do you feel like you are given one hundred?

1861
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really proud of what I did this year.

1862
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 3: I'm really proud of what I did this year. Came

1863
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 3: back from an injury faster than any human ever has.

1864
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 3: I'm really proud of that. I think I came back

1865
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 3: and played some really good football. I had one bad game,

1866
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 3: and you know you certainly don't want any of those,

1867
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 3: but I'm certainly not going to lose my mind over that.

1868
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 3: I think you know, when I came back, I played

1869
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 3: some really high level football, and you know, I'm certainly

1870
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 3: proud of what I did this year.

1871
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 12: Would you want to win Comeback Player of the Year.

1872
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 12: I don't know if you could win it after being

1873
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 12: out in the same season.

1874
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 3: Next year.

1875
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:57,040
Speaker 17: Maybe next year you look at where your career is

1876
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 17: six years in. Is it easier or more difficult to

1877
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 17: blot out the questions of what could have been? If

1878
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 17: you know you don't miss so much time with injuries

1879
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 17: in those six years.

1880
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're at where we're at. I'm at where what's

1881
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 3: happened has happened. Certainly don't want to miss as much

1882
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 3: time as I have, but uh, that's that's where I'm at.

1883
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 3: So all you can do is evaluate the position that

1884
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 3: you're in and try to get better from there.

1885
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 12: Joe Zach was likely talked about kind of the pursuit

1886
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 12: of happiness more than you ever have. Why has there

1887
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,200
Speaker 12: been such a big feed for you over the course

1888
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 12: of the season.

1889
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 3: You know, I think if you want to play this

1890
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 3: game for a long time, you got to enjoy what

1891
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 3: you do and who you do it with. And you know,

1892
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:49,439
Speaker 3: injuries certainly take a toll on that. And I just

1893
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 3: think in life, I certainly don't want to let let

1894
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 3: losing and where our team is at at the moment,

1895
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 3: you know, affect all the other areas of my life.

1896
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 3: Certainly not happy with where.

1897
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 11: We're at, but.

1898
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not going to let that fact. Who

1899
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 3: I am and what I do and how I think

1900
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 3: about things.

1901
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 6: Has that been a big shift?

1902
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 12: I think a lot of times a lot of people

1903
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 12: will say it's been such a big part of your

1904
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 12: life as it is. Have you been trying to maybe

1905
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 12: separate how much happiness you get from playing the game

1906
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 12: and how much it affects the rest of you.

1907
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 6: Is that pretty fairness?

1908
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Say you think?

1909
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 28: Yeah?

1910
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 3: I think? I think so. I think so. You know,

1911
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 3: I work really hard at this, So it's certainly a

1912
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 3: hard pull to swallow when I'm getting injured the way

1913
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 3: that I am and we're losing the way that we are,

1914
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 3: and so you know, I haven't gotten that joy out

1915
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 3: of this that I used to from. You know, the

1916
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 3: joy that I got was winning, and uh, we certainly haven't.

1917
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 3: I haven't had that success that we expect. And so

1918
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 3: I'm not just gonna sit around and mope and be

1919
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 3: miserable to be around from loved ones and all of that.

1920
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 3: So I think it's just growth and maturity. Is there

1921
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 3: anything different you're gonna do?

1922
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 12: Maybe this offseason as you get to Greg, you thought

1923
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 12: about that for yet?

1924
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 3: Yes, I have thought about it, but not not critically

1925
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 3: to the point of change. Yet.

1926
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 11: What's the next week like?

1927
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 3: Relax, relax, be around friends and family and stay up late,

1928
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 3: stay in bed late late. Uh who knows? Right now,

1929
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm not I got I got no no obligations for

1930
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 3: a while. So I'll just go to sleep when I

1931
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 3: get tired. I guess who knows.

1932
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1933
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 25: Zach was asked about his message to the team after

1934
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 25: the game and the way you guys lost this game.

1935
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 3: He said it was a little bit fitting. What are

1936
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 3: your thoughts on that. Yeah, that's certainly a microcosm of

1937
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 3: how things have gone across two years. We certainly expect

1938
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 3: to win that game, and we didn't make the place

1939
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 3: to do it. And you can say that for for

1940
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 3: a lot of for a lot of games over the

1941
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 3: last two years.

1942
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 10: Uh, Joe two part question for me, won out of

1943
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 10: the offensive line grow this year and also with having

1944
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:29,679
Speaker 10: Joe Flack all around you pick his brains.

1945
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Old Lion had their best year

1946
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 3: since I've been here. Uh. You know, I didn't get

1947
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,559
Speaker 3: to experience much of it at the beginning of the year,

1948
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 3: but since I've come back, I think it's the best

1949
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,719
Speaker 3: that they've been. I think we've run it the best

1950
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 3: that we've run it since I've been here as well,

1951
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 3: and I think that has opened up certain aspects of

1952
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:53,679
Speaker 3: our offense. And I really enjoyed having Joe in the room,

1953
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 3: getting to know him and you know, sharing laughs and stories.

1954
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:00,839
Speaker 3: And and all all that we had a great quarterback

1955
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 3: room this year and that you know, I didn't get

1956
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 3: to take as much part in it as I would

1957
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 3: have liked. But you know, when I wasn't there, I

1958
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 3: had a lot of fun.

1959
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 9: A lot guys come back from offseason workouts, and Joe

1960
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 9: Flacco's back in that room with.

1961
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 3: That that might gappy. Yeah, I'd love that. I think

1962
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 3: Number one, he played well when he was in there,

1963
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 3: and he has fun to watch, and you know, he

1964
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 3: brings a certain perspective that you don't. It's certainly unique.

1965
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:28,679
Speaker 3: You don't get to be around guys that have played

1966
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 3: as long as he does and seen as much football

1967
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 3: as he has, and uh, you know, I think he

1968
01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 3: would be valuable for us. We do.

1969
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 36: Seems like you gotta close a couple of times before

1970
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 36: he got that sacked, not just maybe United, just to

1971
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:41,880
Speaker 36: David throughout the month times to face the how much

1972
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:44,599
Speaker 36: just going against really tess that you know that internal

1973
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,799
Speaker 36: clock more and as far as your reads and everything

1974
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 36: to make sure that you're going to the right place

1975
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 36: that you know where you need to be, just in case,

1976
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 36: because you know, that's a guy that's just like everybody said,

1977
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 36: he's just so much more athletic than most guys out there.

1978
01:29:56,400 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I certainly don't go into a play thinking about it,

1979
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 3: but my natural instincts kick in and you're feeling quickly often,

1980
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 3: and you know that certainly affects how far you can

1981
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 3: push the ball down the field, the protections that you

1982
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 3: can call, the plays that you can call, and how

1983
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 3: quickly you want to get the bough out of your hands.

1984
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 3: You know, he's the best of what he does, and

1985
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 3: you try to mitigate that as much as you can

1986
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 3: with your play callity, your protection plan, and then how

1987
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:26,639
Speaker 3: the quarterback plays.

1988
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 36: I'llbe these next eight months for the organization, just to

1989
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 36: make sure that this drought ends at three so that

1990

1998

2005
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 4: is a grinder. I mean, I got a lot of

2006
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 4: respect for Joe man. He puts his nose to the

2007
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:15,080
Speaker 4: grindstone and he works and he works hard. There's no

2008
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 4: prima donna and Joe Burrow. He gets down in dirty man.

2009
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 4: He's down with his teammates, with his boys working out,

2010
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,160

2011
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 4: that the camaraderie of it, because you do build bonds

2012

Speaker 27: You know, you when you're younger, you.

2117

01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 35: But you know, I just feel like every day I

2120
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 35: continue to play this game at this level was the

2121
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 35: best day. So you know, I'm just grateful for everything.

2122
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 13: Key Shawn, you signed as a free agent with the

2123
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 13: Pittsburgh Steelers and in the preseason opener this year, you

2124
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 13: caught a touchdown pass against Jacksonville. How significant was that

2125
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 13: moment for you?

2126
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 35: It was extremely significant. You know, it was a reassurance moment.

2127
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 35: You know, coming out of the draft, you know, undrafted,

2128
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 35: you know, not being a guy with anybody has high

2129
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,720
Speaker 35: expectations for us in terms of productivity, in terms of

2130
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 35: future wise with the league. But you know, to go

2131
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 35: out there and do what I know I was capable

2132
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 35: of and show up when my name was called, like

2133
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 35: just be an opportunist. Who always praised myself on being

2134
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 35: you know, it just meant everything.

2135
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,520
Speaker 13: Did Not getting drafted put a chip on your shoulder.

2136
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:17,880
Speaker 35: Most definitely, But at the same time, you know, I

2137
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 35: like to be a guy who's realistic. You know, understood

2138
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 35: that was a high possibility going into the draft. But

2139
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 35: like I said, I'm an opportunist. You know, I knew

2140
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:26,760
Speaker 35: as long as I was able to get my foot

2141
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 35: in the door and make it on some team, I

2142
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:30,680
Speaker 35: know I'll pay away for myself at the end of

2143
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 35: the day.

2144
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 13: So you played in eight games for the Pittsburgh Steelers,

2145
01:37:34,240 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 13: and then a few weeks ago, when they were trying

2146
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 13: to move you from the roster the practice squad to

2147
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 13: make a room for a veteran guy that they picked up,

2148
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:45,559
Speaker 13: the Bengals jumped in and claimed you off waivers. How

2149
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 13: difficult is it to change teams at this stage of

2150
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 13: the season.

2151
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:55,600
Speaker 35: It's definitely not ideal. But you know, my goal is

2152
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 35: to be on an active roster, contributing to a team.

2153
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 35: And you know, I'm glad that the Bengal was able

2154
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:02,800
Speaker 35: to see something in me that they decided that they

2155
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 35: wanted to bring me on to help their team win games.

2156
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 27: And you know, I'm extremely grateful.

2157
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:08,839
Speaker 35: You know, it was it was an unexpected turn of events,

2158
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:10,680
Speaker 35: but you know, this was part of the business, and

2159
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 35: you know, like I like to be a realist, I

2160
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 35: understood how to I'm starting to understand how the business works.

2161
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:15,960
Speaker 27: So there's no hard feelings.

2162
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 35: You know, I understand that Pittsburgh gave me the first

2163
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 35: opportunity to make my make a name for myself in

2164
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 35: this league, and if it wasn't for them, I probably

2165
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 35: wouldn't be here either. So you know, it was difficult

2166
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 35: and hard to process, but you know, it's just you

2167
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 35: gotta roll.

2168
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 27: With the punches.

2169
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 13: Have you even fully unpacked yet?

2170
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 35: Now I'm living out of a suitcase. I'm living out

2171
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:37,560
Speaker 35: of a suitcase right now. But you know, it was

2172
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 35: only a short three weeks, you know, finishing up this week,

2173
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 35: but you know it's been a fun three weeks.

2174
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 13: Did you know anybody here from college or working out

2175
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 13: or anywhere along the.

2176
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 35: Way outside of the big names of the guys you

2177
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:53,640
Speaker 35: hear on TV. No, I didn't know anybody personally, but

2178
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 35: you know, I'm I'm kind of used to, you know,

2179
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 35: jumping in the rooms and you know, just going and

2180
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 35: proving myself to whoever is there and making a name

2181
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 35: for myself that people want to get to know who

2182
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 35: I am.

2183
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:08,759
Speaker 13: So no problem, We're doing fun facts with Keyshawn Williams.

2184
01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 13: I read a pre draft scouting report that said the

2185
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 13: following quote. He has proven very difficult to bring down,

2186
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 13: and we've seen that in your first few games of

2187
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 13: the Bengals. You had a twenty eight yard punt return

2188
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 13: in the first game, of forty three yard punt return

2189
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 13: in the second game. You got a game ball after

2190
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 13: that game. Do you think you have an innate ability

2191
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 13: to make people miss?

2192
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 27: I think I do. I mean, you kind of have

2193
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 27: to have that ability to play.

2194
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 35: This game at my size and at my position has

2195
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 35: always been an important part of my game. Being able

2196
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 35: to use my lateral quickness to make people miss in

2197
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 35: short area spaces and you know, just using that to

2198
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 35: the best of my ability to give me an advantage

2199
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 35: on a field.

2200
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 13: Do you enjoy returning punts? It takes a certain type

2201
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 13: of person to have the willingness to go back there

2202
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 13: and be ready to run it back with guys bearing

2203
01:39:57,680 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 13: down on them.

2204
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 27: Absolutely, I enjoy. I love returning punds.

2205
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 35: You catch the ball in space and once you get

2206
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:05,719
Speaker 35: the balls you versus everybody else is like a backyard

2207
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 35: football when you were a kid playing in the backyard.

2208
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 35: So you know, something I've been doing my whole life,

2209
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 35: and something will I hope I continue to keep doing

2210
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 35: for good the amount of time?

2211
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 13: All right, Time for a few wild card topics now

2212
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,799
Speaker 13: with Keyshawn Williams. Who is your all time favorite athlete

2213
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:21,440
Speaker 13: in any sport?

2214
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 35: And why My favorite all time athlete is Russell Westbrook.

2215
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,519
Speaker 35: Just his mentality in terms of how he plays, you know, aggressive, strong,

2216
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:30,759
Speaker 35: finishing at the room.

2217
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:32,960
Speaker 27: With a lot of enthusiasm.

2218
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:34,720
Speaker 35: You know, it's a sciding guy for me to watch,

2219
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 35: especially when I was a basketball player in my basketball days.

2220
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:39,799
Speaker 13: All right, that's a good segue to my next question.

2221
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 13: You're only five to nine, but you had a thirty

2222
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 13: nine inch vertical at your pro day. Can you dunk?

2223
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 20: Yeah?

2224
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 35: I can catch it. I could, don't you know? Throw

2225
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 35: me a little oop the room, Greazer, get it in

2226
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:51,160
Speaker 35: there for sure.

2227
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 13: Does it have to be an oop? Or if you're

2228
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 13: on a breakaway, can you throw them down?

2229
01:40:55,160 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 35: You give me a breakaway and I'm feeling good that

2230
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:58,200
Speaker 35: day I get up there him put it in a

2231
01:40:58,280 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 35: room for sure.

2232
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 13: All right, you are named key Sean. There are some

2233
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 13: famous Keyshawn's out there. Keyshawn Johnson was probably the first

2234
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:10,799
Speaker 13: famous football Keyshawn. Did your folks name you after anybody?

2235
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 13: Or did they just like the name?

2236
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 35: You let my mom tell us you would say she

2237
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:16,800
Speaker 35: named me after Keyshawn Johnson, actually, but I believe it

2238
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 35: was just a combination of my parents. Who names My

2239
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 35: dad's name's Kenneth, my mom's name Sean took the key

2240
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:24,640
Speaker 35: off and put it in from hers and then yeah,

2241
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 35: but I guess the football correlation always let her to

2242
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 35: believe was he has some type of impact on that,

2243
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:30,639
Speaker 35: So sure, I'll give it to her.

2244
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 13: I guess that's why you wound up playing professional football.

2245
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 13: All right, As I mentioned off the top, you're from Philadelphia.

2246
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:41,919
Speaker 13: Famous Philadelphia foods include the cheese steak, the roast pork sandwich,

2247
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:44,840
Speaker 13: the soft pretzel. What's the first thing you want to

2248
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 13: eat when you go home?

2249
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 35: I'm definitely going to Max's and give me a cheese steak,

2250
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 35: either Max or Eshcabibbles and I'm going to give me

2251
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 35: a cheese steak for sure.

2252
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 13: All right, So Max's is that like where the locals go?

2253
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:57,080
Speaker 13: Because it's an out of town or we hear about

2254
01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 13: Gino's and Pats.

2255
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 27: Yeah, Gino's and passes. More of a worthy spot.

2256
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:04,520
Speaker 35: Maxis has become pretty popular because it was on the

2257
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 35: Kevin Hart documentary. But Ishka Bibbels is another big spot

2258
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:10,000
Speaker 35: that I like to go to.

2259
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 27: So that's my favorite.

2260
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 13: All right, next time I'm in Philly, Max's or ish

2261
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 13: Ka Bibbles. Final fun fact for Kaishawn Williams. And this

2262
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:21,559
Speaker 13: one's kind of deep. If you could meet anybody in history,

2263
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,680
Speaker 13: living or deceased, who would that person be?

2264
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:25,840
Speaker 34: For me?

2265
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,559
Speaker 35: It'll be my grandmama on my dad's side. She passed

2266
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 35: when I was two years old. You know, whether conscience

2267
01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 35: yet or got to meet her personally, but you know,

2268
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 35: I heard a lot of stories of the woman she

2269
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,519
Speaker 35: was and what she stood for and how much she

2270
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 35: believed and protected her grandchildren, her children, her niate nephews, nieces,

2271
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:48,880
Speaker 35: and you know I would love to meet her and

2272
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 35: let her allow her to you know, see the man

2273
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 35: I've become from the two year old kids she saw.

2274
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 13: She would be very proud. There's no doubt about that. Kayshawn,

Speaker 13: BJ. Eight tackles and a sack today. You had a

2294
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:57,920
Speaker 13: terrific game. The defense in general had a terrific game. Unfortunately,

2295
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 13: when you needed that stop at the end, I didn't

2296
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 13: quite get it. How disappointing is it to end the

2297
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:03,679
Speaker 13: season on that note.

2298
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 33: It's definitely disappointing. That's definitely been playing really good ball

2299
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:09,679
Speaker 33: the last couple of weeks. I know, we just got

2300
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 33: to make a play done in the stretch. Yeah, it sucks,

2301
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 33: but you know we learned from the move on here

2302
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 33: with next year.

2303
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:20,840
Speaker 13: Five sacks today, constant pressure on Shador Sanders. Did you

2304
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 13: feel like the defense showed in this final game kind

2305
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 13: of the progress you've made in the last half of

2306
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:26,519
Speaker 13: the season.

2307
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think so. I'm excited for the future of

2308
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 11: this team.

2309
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 22: Man.

2310
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 33: We got a lot of good young guys here on

2311
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 33: the team, so, man, the future is very bright for us.

2312
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:38,759
Speaker 13: They had two defensive touchdowns when you had the early

2313
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 13: lead in this game. What kind of an emotional blow

2314
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 13: is that.

2315
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,200
Speaker 33: You know, you just put the ball down mentality for

2316
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 33: the defense, I don't know what happens. We just got

2317
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 33: to go out there and get stops.

2318
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 13: You want to keep playing. You hit this point of

2319
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:52,640
Speaker 13: the year, and obviously you've been on teams that have

2320
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 13: made it to the Super Bowl in the NFC Championship game.

2321
01:44:55,760 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 13: Is it kind of strange for the season to be done.

2322
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 33: Yeah, for sure, especially when we got great group of guys,

2323
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,679
Speaker 33: like especially like all the time we got in here.

2324
01:45:05,040 --> 01:45:07,599
Speaker 33: We just fell short a little bit. But like I said,

2325
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 33: stuff happens. You let me move on and you learn

2326
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:13,640
Speaker 33: from it. Don't make excuses on you on it, and

2327
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:14,559
Speaker 33: just you get better.

2328
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:17,960
Speaker 13: You've taken a big leadership role on defense, particularly in

2329
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 13: the second half of the season. How much did you

2330
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 13: see some of these young guys grow a lot?

2331
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 33: Man? I can name so many young guys that I

2332
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 33: grew up during the season. Man, you got we had

2333
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 33: two rooky linebackers that grew up real fast, Miles Murphy,

2334
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 33: Chris jan because even though he got heard, he grew

2335
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 33: up like Jay Blackly. We've got so many guys that

2336
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 33: stepped up and play really good football.

2337
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:44,200
Speaker 13: Appreciate your time, enjoy the off season. We'll see you

2338
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 13: soon or not.

2339
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 11: Sounds good.

2340
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:48,160
Speaker 2: Bj hill on the year, thirty years old, played in

2341
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:52,160
Speaker 2: all seventeen games this season. I think we both appreciate

2342
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 2: what he contributes to the team, and I think part

2343
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 2: of the off season will be interesting. I still think

2344
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 2: they could use another body in the middle special somebody

2345
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 2: who could get pressure in the face of the quarterback.

2346
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: That would be ideal, wouldn't it.

2347
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:04,479
Speaker 11: I agree with you.

2348
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 4: You know, bj Hill is probably, if not the best

2349
01:46:09,439 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 4: take along to call roll. He's probably number two with

2350
01:46:12,439 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 4: interior pass rush, and let's face it, that's that's where

2351
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,519
Speaker 4: you can do some damage because you know, a quarterback

2352
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 4: like Sanders is a great example. You know, he's maybe

2353
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:23,680
Speaker 4: six to two. They listen them at six to two.

2354
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:24,080
Speaker 8: I don't know.

2355
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't know if he is or not. But you

2356
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 4: get a defensive tackle in the face of the quarterback

2357
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 4: number one, they can't see, they can't see the middle

2358
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 4: of the football field. They have to get out to

2359
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,479
Speaker 4: the perimeter and get out to the edges and throw

2360
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:38,600
Speaker 4: it to the sidelines. And then they're also concerned with

2361
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 4: following through and hitting their hand on shoulder pads, helmets,

2362
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 4: that sort of thing, and sustaining injuries to their fingers

2363
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:47,600
Speaker 4: in hand and things of that nature. So if you

2364
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 4: can get a big interior defensive tackle that can play

2365
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:54,520
Speaker 4: the run, stuff the run and push the pocket into

2366
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 4: the quarterback's face, man, you get yourself a fined and

2367
01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 4: they're they're hard to find. There don'll grow on trees.

2368
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:05,519
Speaker 4: But if that's the case, if there's with the tenth

2369
01:47:05,560 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 4: pick of the draft, that there's a better interior defensive

2370
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 4: lineman than edge rush guy, there's been a run. Say,

2371
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 4: for example, as I'm using this is theoretical, it might happen,

2372
01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 4: might not. But say on draft day, boy, there's a run.

2373
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 4: Three or four of the top edge rushers are gone,

2374
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 4: but the second best interior defensive tackle is available. I

2375
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:28,720
Speaker 4: think the Bengals make that pick and are pleased to

2376
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 4: do it.

2377
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt about that. Hey, let's head down

2378
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:34,240
Speaker 2: the stretch, Final segment, Final Thoughts, Bengals Line on the

2379
01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:41,639
Speaker 2: Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW down the Stretch

2380
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:44,720
Speaker 2: week Go Final segment of the year on Bengals Line

2381
01:47:44,720 --> 01:47:47,839
Speaker 2: of the Bengals Radio Network, and final Card of the Year.

2382
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 4: Lance We know pay Corp Is proud to be the

2383
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,759
Speaker 4: official HR software provider of the Cincinnati Bengals.

2384
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 2: Dave in conclusion, I think we've set it up pretty

2385
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 2: well over the course of three hours. They're gonna have

2386
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,800
Speaker 2: some money to spend wisely this offseason. They're gonna have

2387
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:05,839
Speaker 2: the tenth pick in the draft. We've assessed the areas

2388
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 2: of need and now it falls on the plate of

2389
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,360
Speaker 2: and the Bengals did announce today that Duke Tobin will

2390
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 2: address the media later in the week on Friday afternoon.

2391
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to hear what he says. But they

2392
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,600
Speaker 2: have to come up with a plaan and thread the

2393
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 2: needle because you just can't miss the playoffs next year again.

2394
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:24,679
Speaker 4: Exactly Lance, because like we've talked about, you got Joe

2395
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:27,639
Speaker 4: Burrow Man. When you have Joe Burrow at the helm,

2396
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 4: when you have him at the quarterback position, you are

2397
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:34,680
Speaker 4: a favorite man. You're in high cotton. You have a

2398
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:38,000
Speaker 4: great chance to make the playoffs, win playoff games, and

2399
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 4: go to the Super Bowl. So you have the tenth

2400
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:42,080
Speaker 4: pick of the draft, not only in the first round,

2401
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,639
Speaker 4: but every round, so you know, every single round you're

2402
01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 4: gonna have whoever's left on the board. If there hasn't

2403
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 4: been a run at that position group in the round prior,

2404
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 4: there's gonna be opportunity to assess multiple guys that might

2405
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 4: be available in the second round or the third round

2406
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 4: or whatever round we're talking about. So this is a

2407
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 4: very important draft for Duke Tobin and the Cincinnati Bengals

2408
01:49:04,439 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 4: and the coaching staff and everybody involved. And I do

2409
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 4: think there's going to be a shift. There's going to

2410
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 4: be some changes, some player changes in the fifty three

2411
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:13,479
Speaker 4: man roster. I think there has to be.

2412
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 2: And the way the NFL is set up, it's the

2413
01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 2: beauty of the league. Through scheduling, through salary cap, through change.

2414
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,680
Speaker 2: You see teams like the Patriots who went four and

2415
01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:25,600
Speaker 2: thirteen last year, they go fourteen and three this year. Ye,

2416
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 2: Jacksonville four and thirteen last year, thirteen and four this year, right,

2417
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 2: the Bears five and twelve last year, eleven and six

2418
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:36,799
Speaker 2: this year. Things change, Things happened fast in the NFL,

2419
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 2: and the tools are there. If used properly, you can

2420
01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 2: flip from the bottom to the top in one offseason.

2421
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 4: And again, looking at those examples, what do they have

2422
01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:48,200
Speaker 4: in common? They all of a quarterback. Yes they do,

2423
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:52,599
Speaker 4: and you know, okay, so they basically flip the script yep,

2424
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:57,040
Speaker 4: from four to thirteen to thirteen and four in two scenarios,

2425
01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:59,839
Speaker 4: five and twelve to eleven and six in another. Why

2426
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 4: because they have the most important thing in all of sports.

2427
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:05,599
Speaker 4: They do have the quarterback. They have the guy at

2428
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:08,839
Speaker 4: the helm, the leader of the pack, and the Cincinnati

2429
01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:10,839
Speaker 4: Bengals certainly have one of the best in the NFL.

2430
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 2: Final thoughts, It's been at times a very fun season.

2431
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 2: At times it's been a very frustrating season. At times

2432
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,880
Speaker 2: I've wanted to pull my hair out. But gathering here

2433
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:23,360
Speaker 2: on Mondays with you and Yid we are a threesome

2434
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:27,080
Speaker 2: that we operated like a well oiled machine out and

2435
01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 2: day by say this every year. It is an honor

2436
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 2: for me to be able to sit with you and

2437
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 2: learn each week from you. I can't imagine doing it

2438
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 2: with anybody else. It is a pleasure and I've enjoyed

2439
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:39,000
Speaker 2: it again. I look forward to next year. Lance.

2440
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 4: I appreciate those comments and thoughts very much. I think

2441
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 4: you're a heck of a broadcaster and an even better

2442
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 4: person man. Getting to know you over the years has

2443
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 4: been my pleasure, There's no question about that. And the

2444
