26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,959

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,399

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: base response in both both cities. You know, there's a

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 5: lot of pride involved. If you sweep a division rival,

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 5: that's a big deal. Big and uh, you have to

34

00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 5: around a while, and two schools and know how.

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,519

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: say X. I think it's great. I just think it's

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: great for the kids to be on an NFL field.

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: It's a county stadium in part. Uh so you know,

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: we all contributed to that and just the joy. I'm

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: sure some of these kids didn't sleep last night thinking

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 4: about I'm going to be in that end zone where

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase called the ball or T Higgins went up

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: or you know something like that. That's big.

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 5: I got to play at Fenway Park all night in

52
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 5: state playoffs, and it's like, not only that's that's what

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 5: the Boston Patriots in Boston Red Sox sheared Fenway Park,

54
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: and when they reconfigured the stadium, you.

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: Couldn't move the Green Monster.

56
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: I mean, the Green Monster was there. The Green Wall

57
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: was hanging there. So uh, you know, when the Patriots played,

58
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 5: you knew where you were, you knew, you knew who

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 5: you were in Boston. But to play I remember I

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: was never so excited in my life as it was

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 5: before that football game. Yes, just because, oh man, think

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: of all the great Tim Williams played here, Tony played here,

63
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: you know for the Red Sox, and then uh, you know,

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 5: Babe Perilli Jim Nance. I mean, great play, Larry Garron,

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 5: another running back, great players for the then Boston Patriots

66
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 5: played there, and it's like it means something, it means

67
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 5: a lot, and you're right, it's it's like, I wonder,

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 5: I know what side of the field the Boston Patriots were,

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: what side of the field they had for home games,

70
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 5: and if you were on that side of the field

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: for the playoff game you were if you were a

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: home team, Wow, you're in high cotton, man. You thought

73
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: you thought you were something special.

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: It is indeed special when we wish both teams the

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: best to really good coaches and it's fun for the

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: city again. U of l uc basketball, Dan Horde is

77
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: doing the Playboy play with that and that's been a rival.

78
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: He goes back to the Missouri Valley Conference and things

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: of that nature impact Kelsey from Cincinnati, Kelsey cheval At

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: is Dad and the whole ninth. So it's just great

81
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: sports weekend here in Cincinnati, you know. Lap. One of

82
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 4: the things I wanted to talk about real quick, people

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 4: make a note the Buffalo Bills game has been changed

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: from four to twenty five to one o'clock. So for

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: those who've kind of planned out your football season. That

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: game has been moved to one o'clock and they're moving

87
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: another game instead up four to twenty five slid. As

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: a matter of fact, the Steelers and Ravens are at one,

89
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: the Bills and Bengals are at that, but they move

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 4: the Bears Packers game to four to twenty five. So

91
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 4: again the movement and the chess pieces of rotating around

92
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: man because you know, it's about ratings and revenue, but

93
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: it's also about great matchups. So it's good to see

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 4: of them do that. But we were talking at the

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: beginning of the year, all of us collectively, there was

96
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: a four game stretch that this team was going to

97
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: have to deal with. And it starts Sunday. The Patriots,

98
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: the Ravens, the Bills and the Ravens. Those are four games,

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: big grown men games.

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: Absolutely no question about it. I mean, that's you look

101
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: at that. I mean, Buffalo Baltimore, Jets, Miami Dolphins. That's

102
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 5: the Patriots twenty twenty five schedule for them as they

103
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 5: go down the stretch. So this game against the Cincinnati

104
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 5: Bengals is big Cincinnati, then the Giants and they have.

105
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 4: A bye week.

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: Buffalo Baltimore Jets Miami down the stretch this Bengals game.

107
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: I mean, if they if they don't win this football game,

108
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 5: they're coming back to the pack a little bit. And

109
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 5: that's what the Bengals are hoping. The Bengals are hoping.

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: Just take it one at a time, right, one game

111
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: at a time. See if you can turned the worm

112
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: a little bit even the playing field. Certainly nobody has

113
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: thrown in the towel. That's not happening. No, no, And

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: I expect I expect a very very competitive football game

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 5: this weekend. Man first gonna fly down there at Paul

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 5: Brown Stadium. I mean, Mike Vrabel, he's old school box.

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: We know that, Yes it is.

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 5: I mean this guy, he's all about physicality, he's all

119
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 5: about old school football. And uh you know he he'd

120
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 5: played when there was no face masks. That's that's when

121
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 5: he respected the game.

122
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 4: Of the leather helmets and the old guy.

123
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 6: You know.

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 4: The interesting thing is I went back because I remembered

125
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: the last time he faced his team, the school was

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: nineteen sixteen. The Bengals knocked them out of the playoffs.

127
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: He was the number one seed, and that was when

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: people started to realize how big the fan base was

129
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 4: Bingle Gym and a few other guys went down to Nashville.

130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 4: They had about five thousand people down there. I remember

131
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: the visuals, yeah, but the being where you know, he

132
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: just got in the playoffs. Mike Rabel and the Titans

133
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 4: and Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, they're they're going to

134
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: put him in the finals. They're going to play the

135
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: Chiefs in the AFC Championship. Robert Stampton, Robbert Stampham and

136
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: they get down there. Ryan Tannehill fifteen to twenty four,

137
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: three interceptions, one touchdown. Joe Burrow was twenty eight to

138
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: thirty seven, three hundred and forty eight yards, no touchdowns,

139
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: one pick. But Joe Mixon had a good game. But

140
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: it was the defense that gave Tannehill fits that game. Yeah.

141
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 5: I mean, you hold an NFL team to sixteen points

142
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: in the playoff game, you've done a hell of a job.

143
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 5: And mint Derrick Henry, that's a that's a grown man

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: right there, that's a full grown man. I mean, by

145
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 5: two and fifty pounds running back come, you know, flying

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: up the up the football field that you and he's

147
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: going full speed. It's a it's a challenge, challenge to

148
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: get that big that big dude on the ground.

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: They did.

150
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: The Tennessee Titans that you were very very balanced. I mean,

151
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: they had a good off it's the football team. They

152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: played very salty defense, they had quality special teams. They

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 5: were they.

154
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: Were and had a receiver name A. J. Brown is

155
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: now in Philadelphia. How they made that trade, I will

156
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: never know, but Philadelphia is certainly happy about.

157
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: That, absolutely, and he's still hanging around. I mean, that's

158
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: that's a.

159
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Lengthy career, particularly at that position, a wide receiver position.

160
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: You remember that game, If I remember correctly, Tennessee had

161
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 4: what four, five, six, seven, eight and a half sacks

162
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 4: in that game? I believe it was they were They

163
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: were after Joe Burrow a lot that game, and it

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: just looked like neither team could get tracks because we

165
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 4: had what four field goals in that game, and then

166
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon scored the touchdown. But that that was a

167
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: physical Clyde Simmons and that, I mean, they're just on

168
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: both sides of the football. There were some grown men

169
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 4: out there, there were, you know, and it was a

170
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: red zone battle. You know.

171
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 5: The Bengals scored one touchdown. Uh Tennessee the same thing,

172
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: you know. I mean everything else was field goal, you know.

173
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 5: So you know, once they got into that short field,

174
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: moved the football. Fine, okay, get into the red zone,

175
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: inside the twenty low red zone, inside the ten yard line.

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: They put the walleup.

177
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 5: Man slammed the door. They say, now you got to

178
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: settle three. You're not gonna You're not getting seven points. Man,

179
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: this is the playoffs.

180
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: Yes, And the reason I brought this game up because

181
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 4: the New England team last year is not the New

182
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: England team this year. It's more like this team right

183
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: that they played back then. Because Mike Vrabel's stamp is

184
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 4: already on this new team.

185
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: I mean the Patriots. What they win four games last year? Yeah,

186
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 5: and for them to turn it around like they have

187
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: ten wins, I mean, come on, man, that's that's that's

188
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: pretty amazing. I mean, Rabel put his stamp on this

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 5: football team very early. And credit the players. They were

190
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 5: looking for somebody to help them turn it around. They

191
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 5: found the right guy. You gotta give bog Craft credit.

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: He brought Rabel back. Rabel played there. Frabel was a

193
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: great player for the Patriots then Boston Patriots. And I

194
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: mean he he was tough man. He was a hell

195
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: of a player. And uh and Bob Kraft said, you know,

196
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: we're gonna, We're gonna, you know, bring bring you back,

197
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 5: and uh, the spirit of the of the Patriots is

198
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 5: going to increase. That place is a tough place to play.

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 5: Unfortunately you don't have to, but I'm telling you, under

200
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel, the New England Patriots are back. And they

201
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: got back in a hurry. I mean it was like

202
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 5: turned it around in split second.

203
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: And you know what laughing you were talking about that.

204
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: I was looking at their numbers on the offensive side

205
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 4: of the ball and what they do well. And and

206
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: he is, like you said, an old school guy. He

207
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: wants to run the football. They've got a young quarterback

208
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: who many people were high on. He had the typical

209
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 4: rookie you know, speed bumps. But this May kid man

210
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 4: is really looking like the real deal. Looks comfortable back

211
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: there in the pocket.

212
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 5: Drake May is especial, you know. And uh, and you're right,

213
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel believes in balanced football. You know, run the

214
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 5: ball and and uh, then you're gonna be able to

215
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 5: throw the all effectively and efficiently complimentary football. You run

216
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: the football, get that established, make the defense have to

217
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 5: respect that and defend that running game. Then all of

218
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: a sudden, play action passing game opens up, and it

219
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 5: opens up wide open. And uh and that's what the

220
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 5: Norman Patriots are doing. They're they're playing complimentary football at

221
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 5: its finest, offensively, defensively and special teams.

222
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: No question about. It's gonna be a big game. Uh. Again,

223
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 4: the bigger question we'll talk about later is we know

224
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: that Joe's playing. Is it Joe cool or Joe calm right?

225
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: We will, we'll figure that out. We don't know, I mean,

226
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: I don't know. We were talking to Zach Taylor to

227
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: day he met with the media, just in conversation, obviously

228
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: non committal. You listen to t Higgins yesterday, talked about

229
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 4: just the joy on his face seeing Joe Burrow out

230
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 4: there smile from here to ear. They can smile from

231
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 4: here to ear. And I saw Joe Burrow today and

232
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow looked like a happy Joe Burrow. You know,

233
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: the last few weeks we've seen him in the locker room.

234
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 4: That guy wants to play.

235
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 6: Man.

236
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 4: You talk about a guy that he's grumpy when he

237
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: doesn't get to play no doubt. He's in his locker

238
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: like you're almost like you don't want to speak to

239
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: him because he's like, I'm just mad right now. I

240
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: want to play football. But I've seen the happy Joe

241
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: Burrow today.

242
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's almost like, you know, he's being punished. You know,

243
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: it's like, I can't do the thing I love. You know,

244
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 5: dang it, I'm nicked up. And he has had a

245
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 5: share of injuries, but I'll tell you what, every injury

246
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 5: that he's had, significant injury, he's come back in less

247
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: than half the time. This guy is unbelievable in terms

248
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 5: of his body can recover and recuperate and rehab and

249
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: he's so diligent about it and so focused and so

250
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: committed to it. I mean, he was supposed to be

251
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 5: out three months with this injury in his turf toe

252
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 5: back in a month and a half.

253
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: Well you know what they call Will. I think it's

254
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 4: Will Anderson the linebacker, Houston the terminator. Yeah, get that

255
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: to Joe Burrow. Man. Now you open this dude up.

256
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: There may be some circuit boards and there and some

257
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: transistors or something, because it's like he does come back

258
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: no matter what you say. Is the quote unquote prognosis.

259
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: He seems to come back in less time and to

260
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 4: your point, highly effective, Like Okay, I'm back for real,

261
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: I'm back and uh yeah.

262
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 5: I mean his goal seems to be when I come

263
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: back after the rehab process, I'm going to be a

264
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: better Joe Burrow than when I got hurt. I'm going

265
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 5: to rehab to the point where that that uh in

266
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: that body part is going to be in better shape

267
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 5: than it was when it got injured. And and that's

268
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 5: that seems to be his commitment. I mean, his mindset

269
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 5: is like you said, Box, He's tough mentally and physically tough.

270
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: He's driven, he's committed and uh and he he is

271
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 5: uber competitive, no.

272
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 4: Question about it. We'll take our first break. We'll be

273
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: back with more of the Bengals pep Rally, still presented

00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: Bengals Radio Network. And I tell you what, presented by

279
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: us Bear A Chicken. Glad to have it on a

280
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 4: board as well as having you, and we'll be here

281
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 4: in the third hour. We'll be joined by tight end

282
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: Eric All, the fair Field High product I went to Michigan, Iowa.

283
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: A great young man, just somebody I've enjoyed being around.

284
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: We'll have him in an hour. But as always, some

285
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: of you may have heard it this week, some may not,

286
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: but we always share with you and that's the pressure

287
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: with Bengals head coach Zach Taylor. We'll do that right

288
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: now and talk about it on the other side.

289
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 7: You know, Dejon obviously hasn't gotten practice its training camp,

290
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 7: so I think that one there's a lot of work

291
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 7: that's got to go in there. He hasn't played football

292
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 7: in a long time. Kasecki being out four weeks, I

293
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 7: feel like he's a little ready to hit the ground running,

294
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 7: So we'll see how he looks this week.

295
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 8: I'll take you could get Mike back given that everything.

296
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 7: It helps, given that situation to who's a guy like

297
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 7: Jamar and I had one like Mike.

298
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 9: Certainly helps use the pain a little bit and we'd

299
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 9: be happy to.

300
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 8: Have your reaction to obviously the suspension and then and

301
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 8: then appeal being denied.

302
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we we we gave him everything we had.

303
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 7: They have held suspension and so as a team, we

304
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 7: just got to move forward. You know, still support Jamar

305
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 7: and I have support Jamar, but we got to focus

306
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 7: on New England now and look forward to getting Jamorrow

307
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 7: next back next Monday.

308
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 10: Is that move for Dejon to be atbated because he's

309
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 10: finally ready from injury standpoint, or just that you guys

310
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 10: are hopeful in the next couple of weeks to see

311
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 10: what he.

312
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 11: Can do for you.

313
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was time to get him back, you know.

314
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 7: And so again now he's he's healthy and so open

315
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 7: up this twenty one day windows so we can look

316
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 7: at him going into December.

317
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 9: It's just it's time to do that, he said.

318
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 12: His message to the receivers was, you know, a bunch

319
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 12: of guys get an opportunity here with Jamorrow. What do

320
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 12: you hope to see kind of in practice this week

321
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 12: to figure out who's going to get those chances?

322
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, guys just taking advantage of the opportunity. Again, It's

323
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 7: that's exactly what it is. That's how some guys have

324
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 7: gotten their chances. That's how Mitch Tinsley has has gotten

325
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 7: himself on the roster has taken advantage of moments where

326
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 7: he's at, you know, and so again, I just think

327
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 7: we'll continue to evaluate those guys. We got a good

328
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 7: plan in place to utilize everybody we can. Then we'll

329
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 7: see how guys continue to step up as a week.

330
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 13: What challenges does.

331
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 11: Drake May presenting? What do you think about him?

332
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 9: I think he's done a great job.

333
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 7: I mean, four to one touchdown interception is really impressive

334
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 7: considering his second year, new coaching staff, you know, all

335
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 7: that stuff you factor in. I think he's done an

336
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 7: excellent job. Seventy two completion which is really impressive too,

337
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 7: so he's doing everything right and leading the team to

338
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 7: eight straight wins. I think he's just really impressive, and

339
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: he's he's a tough challenge, but he guys taking care

340
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 7: of the football like that, completing balls at a high

341
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 7: rate like he is, twenty touchdowns five make plays with

342
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 7: his feet as well, So he's really impressive in a

343
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 7: difficult challenge for you guys.

344
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 14: What did you see from Josh McDaniel's offense and run

345
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 14: by Drake May?

346
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 11: What is it about Josh.

347
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 14: Mccamills that over the years has made him success.

348
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 7: He does a great job attacking defenses a lot of

349
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 7: different ways, staying patient, picking his moments for big opportunities explosives.

350
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 9: It's hard to say how much offense they Carrie.

351
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

352
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 7: I've never really been with him, but they just do

353
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 7: a good job with their game planning week to week

354
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 7: and attacking, attacking what they think your weaknesses. And I'm

355
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 7: always having some nice wrinkles in place. He's done it

356
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 7: for a long time, a very high level, won a

357
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 7: lot of Super Bowls, A ton of respect for Josh,

358
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 7: and he's certainly getting a lot of the offense right now.

359
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 14: Is a term that comes up a lot when his

360
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 14: name comes up. You see where do you see any

361
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 14: characteristics of a mesh offense with them?

362
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 11: Run through the break.

363
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 9: Offense, a mesh like the concepts.

364
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 11: Like crossing receivers.

365
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think if he's get yeah, I mean that

366
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 7: That's threw me on that one, and I didn't expect

367
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 7: that question. I'm sure that shows up. That's not what

368
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 7: I necessarily think of right.

369
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 9: Out the gate.

370
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 13: Sat. You know, a game against a good New England

371
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 13: team with a good record, I think is going to

372
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 13: demand always going to demand attention.

373
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: Of whoever that the team is playing.

374
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 13: I just wonder because of the unique circumstance of you

375
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 13: guys having one of the coveted like primetime games the

376
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 13: following Thursday on Thanksgiving Night, they're like any usefulness and

377
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 13: maybe telling the guys focus on this one, don't. I know,

378
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 13: the idea of looking ahead beyond this doing the team

379
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 13: is insane, but like, don't look ahead just because we

380
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 13: have this, you know, Thursday night game coming up.

381
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 7: No, I am had a competiity to do that for

382
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 7: one second. I think they're pretty well focused on the.

383
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 9: Joe Flaco feelings.

384
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 7: If he won't practice today, same schedule as we've been

385
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 7: on the last couple weeks, and.

386
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 11: That's just mean it's normal, Yeah, Bill practice, Yes, well

387
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 11: he definitely start on Sunday.

388
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 7: We'll keep working through it, you know, and see how

389
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 7: we go through the week. Is that their scenario that

390
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 7: Joe Burrow Joe Burrow hasn't practiced seven on eleven yet, So,

391
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 7: like I said the other day, until we get through

392
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 7: some practice, there's no reason for me to even speculate

393
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 7: on that.

394
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 12: Well without Flacco, like Wednesday kind of be Burrow's day,

395
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 12: and then Thursday kind of Flaco's day.

396
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you can certainly get a lot of

397
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 7: work in with Joe today, Joe Burrow today because Flacco's

398
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 7: not practicing, because the plan has been getting into eleven

399
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 7: and eleven, so it works well, we're not trying to

400
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 7: balance a guy who is going to practice on a Wednesday, Joe,

401
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 7: Joe Flacco hasn't done that. We got to think of

402
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 7: another way to communicate this because the two Joe's that

403
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 7: really is just this is getting harder and harder every

404
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 7: week that passes. But so we'll get through today and

405
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 7: it's just get start to get you out there in

406
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 7: eleven on eleven.

407
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 9: See how it goes well.

408
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 11: Joe Burrow to eleven on eleven today. Think he might,

409
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 11: he will, He'll do it today.

410
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 13: New England's gotten a lot of praise for the job

411
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 13: that they've done and the rebuild of the entire team,

412
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 13: but specifically on defense.

413
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 11: Obviously that's for able. You know, bread and butter and

414
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 11: you look at you played them last year. What's the

415
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 11: biggest change you've seen in the defense this year?

416
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, impossible to compare. That was that was a week one.

417
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 7: It's such a unique thing because they had a new

418
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 7: staff last year to year ensure, so that that one

419
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 7: doesn't to me even count.

420
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 9: I think that he's just done a great job. It's

421
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 9: it's it's.

422
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 7: Similar enough to what they did in Tennessee, but there's

423
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 7: some differences, you know, and so again I think spending

424
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 7: time away for a year, however you look at it,

425
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 7: it's they've done a good job. There's some things that

426
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 7: stayed the same that they're really hard nose playing defense.

427
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 7: They do the they do the simple things really well.

428
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 7: There's a physicality to them for sure. That shows up.

429
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 7: You know, There's there's a couple of guys that have

430
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 7: been with Grapele in the past that he brings along

431
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 7: and some of the guys that they added from around

432
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 7: the league, and then the guys that have been there

433
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 7: that they continue to grow within the organization. So it's

434
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 7: a challenging defense. They do a really good job. It's

435
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 7: not even a team that that overall has. They won

436
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 7: eight in a row, so you normally look at the

437
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 7: turnover battle and think, Okay, they're dominating. The term of

438
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 7: they're not. There's zero you know, it's even for them,

439
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 7: and so that that's an impressive way to win eight

440
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 7: in a row when there's been games where it's where

441
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 7: it's plus or minus, but we're all at zero, and

442
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 7: so I think that that's just pretty impressive that they've

443
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 7: been able to do what they do with the rector

444
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 7: they have. That tells you that they're playing really sound

445
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 7: foot in all three phases.

446
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 11: I think we asked on Monday, Ryan is getting closer.

447
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 9: He'll be doubtful this week.

448
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 12: You asked a lot about the defense on Monday and

449
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 12: things you want to fix going into this week. There

450
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 12: any like positive example you've the staff is pointed to

451
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 12: and said, like, your's what we wanted to look like somethings.

452
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's a lot of great examples on

453
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 7: first and second down, what we won and got them

454
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 7: to where we wanted and didn't necessarily finish all the time.

455
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 7: There's times we did there was a there's a physicality

456
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 7: there that I thought, Like I said, I thought the

457
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 7: linebackers did a good job from an operational standpoint. So yeah,

458
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 7: there's a lot of things to build on that I

459
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 7: think had been better than the weeks before. That's not

460
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 7: our standards, not let's just be a little bit better,

461
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 7: It's it's we want to completely raise the standard for

462
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 7: a whole team, but there were some things that we

463
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 7: got to continue to build on.

464
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 13: Ohsa, I got a little dinged up at the beginning game.

465
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 11: Obviously finished the game. Will he be out there Today's Yeah.

466
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 7: There's guys of course that always get deemed back in

467
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 7: the games, and we'll manage them through the week.

468
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 9: But he's in good shape.

469
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 15: It makes it to the NFL are shying away from challenges,

470
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 15: But a team that's won eight and rows, that's something

471
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 15: that you actually enjoy. That's something that you want to

472
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 15: go after and try to snap that.

473
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, it doesn't.

474
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 7: I mean, you kind of know what our mentality has

475
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 7: been over the last couple of years, and these opportunities

476
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 7: are fun ones, you know. It's it's all these games

477
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 7: are meaningful. They've obviously they're in a really good rhythm

478
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 7: and they've earned that, and so it's it's a great

479
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 7: opportunity for us to to find our rhythm, you know,

480
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 7: to go out there and challenge them and put our

481
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 7: best foot forward and see how it all falls. Get

482
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 7: some momentum after this game. Well, you're you're communications limited.

483
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 7: I mean I talked to him immediately after the game,

484
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 7: but then since then, you can't have communication with him,

485
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 7: which is tricky, but again he and I are in

486
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 7: the same page with everything.

487
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 9: I'll just keep that with me and Jamal.

488
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 11: When does that end you talk post games?

489
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 7: I think it's I'm not sure if it's four pm Monday,

490
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 7: sometime on Monday.

491
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 13: What do you what would your expectations for him be

492
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 13: during this no contact?

493
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 9: Can't talk to him, so I'm not speculating.

494
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 8: What have you seen from from Charlie Jones and you

495
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 8: think that he could potentially give you?

496
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 7: I think Charlie's got a lot of confidence in our offense.

497
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 7: So again, he's waiting for his opportunity. We've been really

498
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 7: healthy at the spot, you know, so there hasn't been

499
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 7: a lot of opportunity take advantage of. So I think

500
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 7: this is one of those moments where where guys have

501
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 7: an opportunity to make a name for himself. And we'll

502
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 7: keep working through that for practice and see what it

503
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 7: ends up on Sunday.

504
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 8: I asked you Monday and you said you evaluated every day.

505
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 8: Do you anticipate any starting lineup changes on defense?

506
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 9: We'll keep working through this week. Thank you?

507
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: All right? That was Zach Taylor talking about this game,

508
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: and then some of the players obviously, you know, no

509
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: which a lap is gonna tip their hand about their

510
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: number one player, like Joe Burrow or whatever, because I

511
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: got to speculate. Some run rampant to be all over

512
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: the place, and hey, guys in the locker room, they'll

513
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: be bombarded with the same old questions, and so it's

514
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: best to just wait and find out. It's like a

515
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: soap opera, you know, just let the drama unfold.

516
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, the injury is, it's not

517
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 5: gonna heal up any faster. If Zach Taylor says, yeah,

518
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 5: he's gonna play on Sunday, you know it's not going

519
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 5: to expedite the healing process. And bottom line is, you

520
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 5: want to keep some things to yourself anyway, because if

521
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: you have really good football players that you know aren't

522
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 5: gonna be able to play, but you don't want the

523
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: world to know they aren't gonna be able to play,

524
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 5: you don't want to make an announcement about it. Just

525
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: let you know, the injury, recovery and rehab take its

526
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 5: course and let it.

527
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 4: All play out, No question about it. We'll let it

528

00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 3: I feel good? Yeah, I really do.

561
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 16: I'm starting to feel pretty good, U you know, with

562
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 16: just what's going on the last couple of weeks and

563
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 16: the rest of the body's holding up well, so I

564
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 16: can't complain.

565
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 15: You've played a lot of cities, a lot of environments,

566
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 15: a lot of fan bases.

567
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 11: What stands out about your five weeks here?

568
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: Oh man?

569
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 16: Well, I think just being and being in Ohio like

570
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 16: and you can just tell you know how much football

571
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 16: you know, means to people in this part of the country,

572
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 16: and you know, from the time they were probably young.

573
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 16: So everybody has that that good knowledge of football, and

574
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 16: you can tell they care about it a lot, and

575
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 16: they have those expectations and and they get themselves excited

576
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 16: to come in and cheer for us in those games.

577
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 16: I've played here a good amount, and honestly, I probably

578
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 16: missed that part of it a little bit, you don't,

579
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 16: you know. But when when you're here and you know,

580
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 16: you kind of walk around the city and you know,

581
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 16: you get to see people from here, you can tell

582
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 16: how into it they are, just with the little who

583
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 16: days on, you know, on the side of the road

584
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 16: and things like that. I'm not quite sure how to

585
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 16: respond yet. I still feel a little funny saying.

586
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: It, but but I'm getting there.

587
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: So I built up a rapport throng with Jamar and

588
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 6: team somewhat de Andre because he's the third.

589
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 17: Guy that.

590
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 11: Reps you got me with some of those other guys

591
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 11: in Miche Jones.

592
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 16: Yeah, well, you know, not a ton, but I think

593
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 16: when we have i mean, you know, teams, we've made

594
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 16: some plays, you know, so uh, you know, you got

595
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 16: to feel pretty good about it going in and uh,

596
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 16: it's always cool, you know. Honestly, when when when these

597
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 16: types of things can come up for whatever reason, Uh,

598
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 16: because it's opportunities, you know, for for young players to

599
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 16: come in and and show what they're all about.

600
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 3: So I think only good can come from that. How

601
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: did look Joe look good? Yeah?

602
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 16: It's cool to see him out there, and you know, obviously,

603
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 16: when you know you're both now taking reps and things

604
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 16: like that, some conversations kind of happened and just like

605
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 16: how do you see this versus that?

606
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: But but yeah, Joe look good.

607
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 11: It seems like you got a good rapport with Tea

608
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 11: And I mean what I mean, you know, let's.

609
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've all seen his radius. It's yeah,

610
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: it's it's a little bit different. I've been. I've think

611
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: you come in and you obviously have an.

612
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 16: Idea you know, what somebody like him may be like

613
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 16: and just from Afar, but when you get to see

614
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 16: it up close and in person, it doesn't disappoint. You know,

615
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 16: he has a lot of skills that, you know, make

616
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 16: it very obvious why he is the player he is.

617
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 17: Maybe when once you get to play with that, he

618
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 17: might have changed, you know, he didn't.

619
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 11: Even far that you.

620
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 16: Oh, I think you probably see a taller guy that

621
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 16: you know runs decent. You just assume he could probably

622
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 16: go out for the ball and run down the sideline

623
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 16: and do those kind of things. But I think just

624
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 16: throwing slants to him and just you know, little things.

625
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 16: I don't know what he ran and it is for you,

626
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 16: but when he gets the ball in his hand, and

627
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 16: the speed that he's able to keep kind of throughout

628
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 16: his routes and when the ball's in the air, you know,

629
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 16: through the catch point, like he looks like he's just moving,

630
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 16: like you know, he's got that speed to him. I've

631
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 16: thrown a couple crossing routes to him and practice that.

632
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 16: I'm just like, whoa, Like, how fast is he going

633
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 16: right there? Like he was really moving across that football field.

634
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 16: So I think just the speed that he's had and

635
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 16: in terms of his ability to catch balls underneath and

636
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 16: make him big plays.

637
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: And then I keep saying it.

638
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 16: But his ability to attack the ball while the wilts

639
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 16: in the air. It's a very subtle thing and sometimes

640
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 16: you don't even know that that that's what he was doing.

641
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 16: But he has a very good ability to go attack

642
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 16: the ball in the air and make it be you know,

643
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 16: you just make it look like maybe even a little

644
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 16: bit better throw than it was.

645
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 14: And he watched through that first, that that touch on

646
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 14: y'all had, and kind of what the play was and

647
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 14: kind of how that extended to him.

648
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean he was just running a shallow across

649
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 16: across the field. But I honestly had a lot of

650
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 16: time on that play, so you know, I was able

651
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 16: to stand back there for a long time and and

652
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 16: then he just kind of saw me standing back there.

653
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 16: We probably locked eyes slightly and he turned it up.

654
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 11: So what would you been like to get to know

655
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 11: off the field, Like, what's what's you like?

656
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were just laughing. I mean, this is I was.

657
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 16: We were just walking in here kind of laughing a

658
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 16: little bit because I was laughing as to how many

659
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 16: nice cars we got in our parking lot over there.

660
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 16: I would say, this is a pretty good collection of

661
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 16: cars in terms of the teams that I've been on.

662
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 16: And we were kind of just laughing about that because

663
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 16: he's a part of that. Uh you know, you're you're well,

664
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 16: I'm walking to my forward expedition and he's making the

665
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 16: whole you know, he's making that whole parking lot like

666
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 16: sound like it's going through the worst thunderstorm in the

667
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 16: world while he's pulling out with his with his little things.

668
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 16: So you know, it's it's been good. These guys are

669
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 16: good guys. They're good football guys. But uh man, at

670
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 16: locker room, it's a it's a cool spot. I mean,

671
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 16: I can't share with you all the crap that we

672
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 16: talk about because it's not appropriate, but it is. It's

673
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 16: so much fun, even before we were going out to

674
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 16: practice today, just the just the stuff that.

675
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: We were you know, you.

676
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 16: It's a very unique profession in the terms of what

677
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 16: we get to talk about while we're on the job.

678
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 4: So was there.

679
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 8: A time in your career where you had that car?

680
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: No?

681
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 16: No, never, never, never indulged in any of that, And

682
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 16: I don't.

683
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: I still don't have the desire to.

684
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 16: There's time like the furthest I go is like you

685
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 16: go on the website and say what if? But you

686
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 16: can never actually get any any anywhere past that.

687
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 11: Well, you've signed a few contracts over the years here,

688
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 11: you know, why not? Why haven't that? Why hasn't that?

689
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 16: I don't think I fit in those things, for one,

690
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 16: but all your I mean, all I would end up

691
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 16: doing is getting in trouble if I had one of those.

692
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 11: What kind of challenges does the defense like New England space, especially.

693
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 18: In a game where you're not going to have a

694
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 18: guy like Jamar to be able to exploit them with him.

695
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 16: Well, I think they got a lot of talent and

696
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 16: they're really well coached. I I think when you have

697
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 16: a combination, then you gotta, you know, make sure you're

698
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 16: all on all of the little details of everything that

699
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 16: you do.

700
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: You know, their head coach played there, you know, throughout.

701
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 16: His career and kind of now now as the head

702
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 16: coach of the Patriots, you know, he probably learned a

703
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 16: lot of things from the type of culture that he

704
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 16: grew up playing in that he was. That's he that

705
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 16: he's able to bring to the team that he's now coaching,

706
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 16: and just that culture in that mindset, uh, you know,

707
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 16: of being physical and and being confident.

708
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: Uh.

709
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: I think it obviously shows in their team right now.

710
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 11: Did you play against him?

711
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 14: I know you overlapped, your career is overlapped for a

712
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 14: brief time.

713
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: But I assume we did. But I can't honestly tell

714
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: you did you do you.

715
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 14: See any the way they play defense is at all

716
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 14: you can buildo frow that ship system.

717
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 3: It's tough to say.

718
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 16: I'm sure there's similarities there, but you know, it's tough

719
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 16: to look back on all that we did and and

720
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 16: say yes or no.

721
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 11: What are you seeing Christian Solids?

722
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 6: Yeah?

723
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know a good corner. Uh what's this his

724
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 16: second year? So is that right?

725
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 3: Yeah? So third or third? So you know, he's he's

726
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 3: still young.

727
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 16: But I mean his ability to be physical and I

728
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 16: think when you look at him, you know, the way

729
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 16: he plays certain routes and where he likes to be,

730
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 16: where he kind of likes to position himself.

731
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 3: But but then he's also.

732
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 16: Aware of you know, because he's positioned himself in this way,

733
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 16: he's aware where the throw may be if you were

734
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 16: to make one. So he's also you know, you can

735
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 16: tell his thought about how he likes to cover guys

736
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 16: and where he likes to be in terms in relation

737
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 16: to you know, maybe the high shoulder, the low shoulder

738
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 16: inside outside, and then the playoff of that.

739
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 4: So all right, that's Joe Flacco. We'll take a quick,

740
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: great come back. We're going to talk to Boston Globe

Speaker 4: from the Boston Globe covering the Patriots, Nicole Yang, Nicole,

753
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 4: how are you today? Good?

754
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 10: How are you guys?

755
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 4: And we're doing fantastic. First and foremost, thanks for joining us,

756
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 4: and let's dive right into it. Let's talk about this

757
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: week of practice for a team that's looking for double

758
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 4: digit ends this Sunday.

759
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, the Patriots this week welcomed back two key players

760
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 10: on their offense, running back Ramandre Stevenson and wide receiver

761
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 10: caseh On Booty. So overall they're looking pretty healthy. They

762
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 10: obviously are missing Milton Williams who's on injured reserve, but

763
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 10: otherwise they think that they're excited to have their full

764
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 10: offense back on the field.

765
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of that, this team total departure in some

766
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: respects from last year. But how quickly did Mike Vrabel

767
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: put his stamp on this team? Oh?

768
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 10: You could see it pretty immediately, especially during the off season,

769
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 10: during spring workouts, during training camp, he was working on,

770
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 10: like you said, putting his stamp on the team. And

771
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 10: you can even see it with the roster overhaul. More

772
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 10: than half of the faces this year are new, so

773
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 10: he very quickly was able to establish his culture and

774
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 10: as well as his personnel.

775
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 5: So Mike Rabel putting his stamp on the team, that's

776
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 5: no big surprise. And Mike Vrabel was a captain when

777
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 5: he was a player with the Patriots, a team leader.

778
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 5: Everybody looked up to him and respected him as an individual,

779
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 5: as a human being and as a football player. Who

780
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 5: are some of the team leaders that he's got playing

781
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 5: for him this year.

782
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 10: I think Drake may is certainly one. Over the offseason

783
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 10: we talked a lot about Drake's leadership last year. He

784
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 10: comes in as a rookie, he doesn't have the starting job,

785
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 10: so he's still deferring to at the time the starter,

786
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 10: Jacoby Brissette. But this year he knows the team is

787
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 10: his and he's really stepped up in that regard. On defense,

788
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 10: you also have Robert Splaine who played for Mike in Tennessee,

789
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 10: as well as Harold Landry who played for Mike and Tennessee,

790
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 10: so I think they have a really strong understanding of

791
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 10: the identity that Mike looks for in his teams. And

792
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 10: there are also a few other holdovers like from the

793
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 10: Bill Belichick era in Brendan's school are on space teams

794
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 10: and Marcus Jones on defense, So it's a good mix

795
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 10: of new faces and old.

796
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: You know. Talking about the team and Mike Rabel, I've

797
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 4: always said, whenever you follow a legend, in this case

798
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: will be a bellick. It's just don't want to be

799
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: the one to follow them. You want to be the

800
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 4: one that follows the one that follows them. And I

801
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 4: think Mayo was in a no win situation struggling like

802
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 4: he did, but then coming behind him, I think there's

803
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: a little less pressure because you're really taking the place

804
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 4: of the guy who took the place of the legend.

805
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 4: Does it feel a little different with Rabel as far

806
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: as expectations went at the beginning of the season.

807
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you could say that's true. You didn't

808
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 10: see that in the quarterback room where Mac Jones is

809
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 10: sort of viewed as the heir parent. But now there's

810
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 10: a little bit less pressure on Drake may So I

811
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 10: think that that concept can be true. But I think

812
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 10: also Mike Riebel and Jerrod may are different situations. Girod

813
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 10: Mayo had not coached outside of the New England organization.

814
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 10: He didn't have any head coaching experience, whereas Mike not

815
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 10: only has experience, but he's an accomplished head coach, and

816
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 10: so I think that experience really benefited him, and you

817
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 10: can see in the decisions that he's making that experience payoffs.

818
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's.

819
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 5: You know, when I when I look at Mike Rabel

820
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 5: and I look at him the way he is leading

821
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 5: this football team, I see a lot of Bill Belichick.

822
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 5: Is that an accurate assessment? I know they are their

823
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 5: own men. You know, it's not like Bill Belichick clone

824
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 5: himself into Mike Rabel, but a lot of beliefs, a

825
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 5: lot of philosophies of football, the way they look at

826
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 5: the game, the way they understand the game, the way

827
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 5: they teach the game. Is there a lot of similarity there.

828
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 10: I think there are some similarities, but I agree with

829
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 10: you that there are just more different in that you

830
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 10: see Mike pay a lot of attention to sort of

831
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 10: the who the players are as people, and he really

832
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 10: seems to care about player families, players off the field,

833
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 10: and he believes if you know the player and the

834
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 10: coach better as a person, then you will play better

835
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 10: on the field because of that information of knowing their story,

836
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 10: why they're there. And he never really saw Bill sort

837
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 10: of indulge that side. Now from a pure football perspective, yes,

838
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 10: you definitely see the attention to detail, the just in

839
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 10: depth knowledge about the sport.

840
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 6: For sure.

841
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 10: You can see those crossover but just in their approach.

842
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 10: Mike celebrates with the team, Mike encourages celebrations. Mike definitely

843
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 10: empowers the players, I would say more than Bill did.

844
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nicole Yang from the Boston Globe is joining us again. Nicole,

845
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: thank you so much. I want to ask you about

846
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 4: that Week five game against Buffalo that I thought that

847
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 4: that was the day that the New England Patriots said,

848
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 4: we are a legitimate team and we're not intimidated by

849
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 4: the perennial winners of this division. But we are going

850
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 4: to go out here and play football. Did the environment

851
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 4: or the community get a sense of, Okay, we can

852
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 4: actually start to believe in this team now.

853
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 10: Totally. I definitely think that was their statement win as

854
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 10: far as proving that, Okay, we can actually contend with

855
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 10: the top of the AFC, we are in contention for

856
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 10: the division, things like that, especially on the primetime stage,

857
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 10: which the Patriots haven't had very often in the past

858
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 10: couple of years because of their poor record and the

859
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 10: lack of star power. So I definitely think that Week

860
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 10: five win was a statement But if you ask the

861
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 10: team for them, the turning point was actually Week two

862
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 10: in Miami, and that game kind of came down to

863
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 10: the wire, was in a hot environment, and they had

864
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 10: lost their season opener. But Rabel has said that he's

865
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 10: really pleased with how team came together and that's sort

866
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 10: of when he knew, like, Okay, there is some potential

867
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 10: here and we might be able to do something interesting.

868
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 4: Great observation in that sense, I tell you what Vrabel

869
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 4: remembers the Bengals very well because when he was with

870
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 4: the Tennessee Titans, they were the number one seed and

871
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 4: we knocked them out of the playoffs with many people

872
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 4: thought they would. I don't know if anybody asked him

873
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: about that, but I don't think he's forgotten about that.

874
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 10: Knowing Mike, I would agree with you, I'm sure he

875
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 10: hasn't forgotten, but that that would have been a good question.

876
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 10: No one asked him about that this week.

877
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 5: That I guarantee you he hasn't forgotten about it. There's

878
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 5: no two ways about that. I guess when you look

879
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 5: at how quickly they turned things around. I mean, here's

880
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 5: a football team that had four wins last year and

881
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 5: now here they are sitting with the best record in football.

882
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 5: I mean it had to surprise almost everybody, maybe even Crafting,

883
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 5: you know, the other coaches and everybody in the organization.

884
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 5: Did it or is that what they were expecting.

885
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 10: I don't think Robert Kraft was surprised, just because he

886
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 10: is sort of an eternal optimist. He always thinks that

887
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 10: they're going to make the playoffs, that they're gonna go

888
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 10: on run. So I'm not sure about Robert, but I

889
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 10: would imagine if you gave other people in the building

890
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 10: some truth theorem that they thought things were going to

891
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 10: turn around, but maybe just not to this extent. I

892
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 10: think they thought that the team would get closer to

893
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 10: five hundred, maybe sneak into the wild card, but to

894
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 10: be nine and two in contention for the number one seed.

895
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 10: I really would be surprised if if anybody saw this coming.

896
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 4: Nicole, thank you so much again for being with us.

897
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: Before we go. What would be your key to the

898
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: game for them to win this weekend?

899
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 10: I think just and you'll have to correct me if

900
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 10: I'm wrong, but I think taking advantage of Cincinnati's defense.

901
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 10: Drake may is having a stellar MVB caliber year. He's

902
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 10: been able to throw downfield and have an accuracy downfield

903
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 10: like a few quarterbacks in the NFL, So I think

904
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 10: just taking advantage of since he's week defense. Drake hasn't

905
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 10: thrown for three hundred yards yet in his career, but

906
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 10: this seems like a good opportunity. So I think just

907
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 10: keeping their foot on the gas pedal offensively should give

908
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 10: them a good chance.

909
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 4: Good question about Nicole, Thank you so much for joining

910
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 4: us and look forward to seeing you Sunday.

911
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 10: Thanks so much for having me, guys.

912
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 4: All right, thank you so much. That was Nicole Yang

913
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 4: from the Boston Globe. Really enjoyed speaking with her. Just

914
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 4: a lot of good stuff there. And that you're talking

915
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,959
Speaker 4: about culture change. He sure did that, he did.

916
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 5: And when when you were talking with somebody that you

917
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 5: know is around the players and coaches all day, every

918
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 5: day during the regular season, like you and I are

919
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 5: allowed to to be boxing, you do, you get a

920
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 5: unique perspective, I think, and I'm not saying that she's

921
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 5: not no way is she shocked, but pleasantly surprised with

922
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 5: what's going on in New England.

923
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 4: There's no doubt, no question. Real quick note here, I

924
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: wanted to say, congratulations Ken Anderson is a semi finalist

925
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 4: for the Pro Football Say, and I don't know what

926
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 4: else this guy has to do. Man, between him and

927
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: Willie Anderson, what these guys have done their body of

928
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 4: work and really not just that lap, but what other

929
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 4: players say about them who faced both of these guys.

930
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: They all endorse them as Hall of famers. And sometimes

931
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 4: I wonder who's on this committee and what they're thinking.

932
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know my understanding is Kenny got a

933
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 5: ton of votes, you know, last last year in the voting,

934
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 5: So maybe this is the year. It should be the

935
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 5: year because flat out, without a doubt, Ken Anderson belongs

936
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 5: in the Hall of Fame, up and up in Ohio,

937
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 5: up in Northern Ohio, Akron, Ohio.

938
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 4: I mean, he he he.

939
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 5: Is uh the best football player we've had here with

940
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Bengals. And on top of that, got the

941
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 5: room with him for nine years, nine of the ten

942
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 5: years that I played with the Cincinnati Bengals, and got

943
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 5: to watch him, how he comported himself, how he handled

944
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 5: himself in tough times in good times. Sometimes it's it's

945
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 5: more important to watch a guy how he handles success.

946
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 5: You know, most guys handle failure if they've gotten to

947
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 5: the professional level in the National Football League, they've been

948
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 5: able to, Okay, compartmentalize, figure out why you failed, don't

949
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 5: do it again, and move on. Some guys, though, I mean,

950
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 5: they just they let success get to their heads. Next

951
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 5: thing you know, they're out the door. You know it's

952
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 5: they're not They're not putting their nose to the grindstone

953
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 5: the same way. Ken Anderson hell of an athlete. I mean,

954
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 5: he played high school basketball, with Dan Issel when they

955
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 5: when they grew up, and and Dan this of course

956
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 5: played in the NBA for gazillion years with the Denver Nuggets.

957
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 5: And Kenny was a hell of a player. Talking to

958
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 5: Dan Issel over the years, you said Kenny could shoot

959
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 5: lights out man point guard, had to handle, great defensive player.

960
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 5: I mean, just a tremendous athlete. And that doesn't surprise you.

961
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 5: A lot of I've bet a lot of quarterbacks played

962
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 5: multiple sports.

977
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 4: Don't ask me what that means. It just sounds like

978
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: it's fast, yes, and I'll go with that. I'm with you,

979
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 4: speaking of fast, we won't have the fastest man on

980
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 4: the field Sunday. Jamar Chase an incident that obviously he'd

981
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 4: love to have back, right. And I'm not a basher,

982
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 4: I'm not a pile on person. There's a mistake the

983
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 4: kid made. He's got to pay for it, and uh,

984
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 4: that's how you grow, you know, you get beyond it.

985
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 4: But lap without a doubt, you're losing your number one guy.

986
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 4: Going up against a team like this is a tough one,

987
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: no question.

988
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 5: I mean, Jamar Chase changes every single football game that

989
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 5: he plays in with his speed. Yeah, like you're talking

990
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 5: about that that that is the biggest weapon that opposing

991
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 5: coaches fear is foot speed. I mean, it's either have

992
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 5: it or you don't. And when you have it, it's

993
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 5: the ultimate weapon. It's it's uh, it's separates you from

994
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 5: the pack. And you have to now make adjustments defensively

995
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 5: to neutralize and try to negate that that speed that

996
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase has. I don't I can't remember snap this year,

997
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 5: or he wasn't doubled when he came off with a scrimmage.

998
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 5: You're gonna put two guys on him and shadow him

999
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 5: wherever he goes and either that or put the best

1000
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 5: corner they've got on him and and go one on

1001
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 5: one and see who's the better man. When you have

1002
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 5: a great corner. And there are some great corners, great

1003
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 5: cover guys in the National Football League, but man, I'd

1004
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 5: still take take my chances with Jamar Chase running routes

1005
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 5: against against those guys. So not having Jamar Chase in

1006
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 5: this football game, and for the reason that you're not

1007
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 5: having Jamar Chase in this football game hurts a lot.

1008
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 3: You know.

1009
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 5: It's like it wasn't because of injury. It wasn't because

1010
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 5: of anything other than you know, just losing your poison.

1011
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 4: A little bit. Yeah, that's what it was. And it

1012
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 4: was a game where you know, Jayala Ramsey. Many people

1013
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: don't know this, but three years ago, maybe before, I

1014
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 4: can't remember, the Rams came here for a joint practice,

1015
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 4: right and I remember Jala Ramsey lining up every Bengals

1016
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 4: wide receiver. He wanted to take on every one of

1017
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 4: them over and over again. Such a competitive guy. Chase

1018
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 4: is such a competitive guy. And and these guys know

1019
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 4: each other from back then and it's carried on. And

1020
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 4: with him being in the division now you get to

1021
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 4: see each other twice a year, it's going to bubble

1022
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 4: up in some kind of way. And when we struggled

1023
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 4: like we did second half of the game and started

1024
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 4: to get away from us, and I'm sure he was

1025
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 4: frustrated a lot of things, but you just have to remember,

1026
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 4: and he's young, you have to remember those are kind

1027
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 4: of things that you really have to work on controlling absolutely.

1028
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 5: And and like you said, both those they want King

1029
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 5: of the hill Man. I mean, they're like nobody's bad

1030
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 5: to me. You know, I'm I've got I've got characteristics,

1031
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 5: I've got physical traits, I've got things that not many

1032
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 5: people walking planet Earth have, you know. And and and

1033
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to show you, uh and and it's like

1034
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 5: they want to carve their own territory and they don't

1035
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 5: want you to invade on it. So it's it's gonna

1036
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 5: it's interesting they're gonna be playing against each other for

1037
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 5: a long time, and there's there's no doubt about it.

1038
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 5: And they they do bring a competitive attitude to that

1039
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 5: to that game of football when they're out in the

1040
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 5: football field, and you know, it's not all bad. It

1041
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 5: permeates the entire roster for both football teams and the

1042
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 5: trickle down effect. Man, there's some there's some football being

1043
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 5: played out there. I watched some of these defensive football teams.

1044
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 5: The speed that they show, you know, it's like, man,

1045
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 5: and it's because like a guy like Jamar Chase makes

1046
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 5: you pick it up. I mean, it makes you almost

1047
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 5: run faster than you can. That's what Paul Brown used

1048
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 5: to say. You know, sometimes when you're playing against people,

1049
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 5: you gotta run faster than you can. You gotta you

1050
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 5: gotta hit harder than you can, you gotta lift more weights.

1051
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 4: Than you can.

1052
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 6: You have to.

1053
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 5: You have to be, uh something unique and special. And

1054
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 5: that's that's what the National Football he is all about.

1055
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 4: Really. You know, I said this that it reminds me

1056
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 4: of a quote that Mike Tomlin, who's got probably a

1057
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 4: million in his own book, but he said two dogs,

1058
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 4: one bone and Ramsey and Matte's that's to me is

1059
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 4: what there's two dogs, one bone. That's a good one. Yeah,

1060
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be king of the hill. T Higgins has

1061
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 4: a chance. He has played very well this year. He

1062
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 4: had flack who have played well together. I think it's

1063
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 4: a chance for t Higgins, not purposefully, but the way

1064
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 4: it's unfolded. Hey, man, I'll show you guys, I'm a

1065
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 4: number one receiver. Yeah, I'm gonna be that guy, and

1066
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be that target. But also, whether it's Mitch

1067
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 4: Tinsley or whoever comes in you wanted to play. You

1068
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 4: feel like you deserve to play in this league. Right,

1069
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 4: You feel like you deserve to be on this field.

1070
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 5: Here you go, right, I mean, opportunity knocks for a

1071
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 5: lot of these guys. And uh, maybe not necessarily the

1072
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 5: way they wanted to get snaps, right, but they got

1073
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 5: them and and and now it's time to put up

1074
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 5: a shut up. You know, if if you've been working

1075
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 5: your coaches, Hey, put me in. Give me give me

1076
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 5: an opportunity. You know, I know I can do it.

1077
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 5: I know I can get after it out here. Give

1078
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 5: me give me a shot, give me a chance. Uh,

1079
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 5: now it's now it's time. I mean, you know you've

1080
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 5: been pestering and bugging me. Here you go. Now, what

1081
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 5: are you gonna do? You know your talk talk is

1082
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 5: one thing, talks cheap. Go out there and perform. Show

1083
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 5: me you got something. And uh and I think T.

1084
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 5: Higgins is gonna step up big.

1085
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 4: I think T.

1086
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 5: Higgins is gonna have big games for the Bengals. I

1087
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised if he strings together a few one

1088
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 5: hundred yard receiving games, you know, seven or eight catches

1089
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 5: one hundred yards, touchdown or two. He's got that kind

1090
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 5: of talent, that kind of ability, and you know, those

1091
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 5: are the kind of numbers that Jamar Chase is capable

1092
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 5: of putting up. And he was and he is he

1093
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 5: will when he comes back. Uh so is T Higgins.

1094
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 5: He's capable of doing the same thing. He can show

1095
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 5: the rest of the league. I'm a number one receiver

1096
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 5: and at some point in time that stands you in

1097
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 5: good stead with these other teams. You never know, it's

1098
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 5: you know, the other teams may be uh kind of

1099
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 5: bidding for your services at some point down the road.

1100
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 5: And you want to make a good impression, and you

1101
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 5: want to make it as early as you can.

1102
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, the tape is rolling from the time that ball

1103
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 4: goes up. No doubt that tape is rolling, or see

1104
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 4: what happens. But I do believe and I agree with you,

1105
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 4: lap I think you guys like him. Man, this is

1106
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 4: a moment where they say, that's my guy. Chase is

1107
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 4: my guy. I'm not gonna let him down. Number one,

1108
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick up his slack because that's what teammates do.

1109
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 4: But number two, to the coaches and to the quarterback,

1110
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 4: I got you. Don't worry about it. You know, we're

1111
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 4: gonna create some opportunities for us to make some big plays.

1112
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think you know Jamar Chase, he'd like

1113
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 5: nothing better than to see some of his teammates step

1114
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 5: up and play the best football they played their entire lives.

1115
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, he realizes you made a mistake.

1116
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 5: He realized that he lost his poise. Now he's counting

1117
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 5: on his teammates to pick him up. You know, no

1118
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 5: man stands alone, right, It's a team game.

1119
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 4: You know.

1120
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 5: Teammates support each other through thick and thin, good times

1121
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 5: and bad times. And now Jamar Chase needs some help,

1122
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,959
Speaker 5: and he's got the teammates that can do it, no.

1123
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 4: Question about it. And I think if T Higgins catches

1124
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 4: a touchdown in this game, it'll be a I believe

1125
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 4: his tenth game straight home game that he's caught a

1126
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 4: touchdown and just incredible when you think about that. I mean,

1127
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 4: this year thirty five catches, five hundred and forty four yards,

1128
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 4: seven touchdowns, averaging fifteen and a half yards per reception.

1129
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 4: Those are some big numbers. They are. He's a big guy.

1130
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 5: Hee's you know, six to four anyway, two fifteen, two twenty,

1131
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 5: long arms, big strong hands. When he catches the football,

1132
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 5: he plucks the football out of the air, he tucks

1133
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 5: it away and it's it's put away for good. They're

1134
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 5: not going to separate him from the football. He's got

1135
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 5: length with his legs, He's got he runs tremendous routes.

1136
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 5: He's got flexibility. He bends at the knees well, he

1137
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 5: can change direction. T Higgins is a premier player in

1138
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 5: the National Football League, and the Cincinnati Bengals is so

1139
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 5: fortunate to have two premiere wide receivers, you know, one

1140
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 5: healthy and one able to play at the same time

1141
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 5: in Jamar Chase and T Higgins.

00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 5: out here for a Bengals game when I was playing,

1170
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 5: and they came out on a Friday, and they they

00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 5: They were they were shocked. And you know, I was

1175
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,600

1176
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,760

00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 17: local kid out of Saint Xavier High School here in Cincinnati.

1202
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 17: You haven't had the opportunity to play in a game

1203
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 17: yet for the Bengals, but describe what it's been like

1204
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 17: for you to go to work every day court Stadium.

1205
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1206
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 19: I think it means a lot to my family. First

1207
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 19: and foremost.

1208
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 18: You know, the the Cliffords have been living here for

1209

Speaker 18: over twenty years now, and you know, we really truly

1210
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 18: call this place a home. So just being able to

1211
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 18: go to work with a great group of guys, great

1212
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 18: coaching staff, and great front office. I think that all

1213
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 18: together it just means a little extra. I know it

1214
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 18: means a lot to the guys in this locker room,

1215
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 18: but for me personally, you know, it is personal. So

1216
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 18: it's been a it's been a pleasure to be here

1217
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 18: so far and look and get some wins in the future.

1218
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 17: Did you attend a lot of Bengals games when you

1219
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 17: were young, and if so, do any specific memories stand out.

1220
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 18: We would, We would go to games all the time.

1221
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 18: But my senior year, my parents actually got my brother

1222
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:44,080

1226
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 18: bicker and you.

1227
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:55,479
Speaker 19: Fight each other for so long.

1228
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 18: And it was actually funny because in my last year

1229
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 18: before I left for college and his first year going

1230
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 18: into high school. You know, it was that opportunity to

1231
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 18: go to the Bengals games where I feel like we

1232
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 18: really developed that best friendship and it carries on today.

1233
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 18: You know, that's my right hand man. So I owe

1234
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 18: a lot to this team just from being a fan

1235
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 18: first and foremost. My brother and I will always talk

1236
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 18: about it. I was able the first game point out

1237
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 18: to Zach the exact spot where I was sitting, you know,

1238
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 18: almost a decade ago. So it's really cool to be

1239
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 18: back on the field contributing to a team. Maybe not

1240
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 18: on the field, but from a week to week perspective,

1241
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 18: just giving it my all and trying to find a

1242
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 18: way to win.

1243
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 17: We're visiting with Sean Clifford. One of the most memorable

1244
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 17: moments in the Bengal Super Bowl run in twenty twenty

1245
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 17: one was the playoff game in Tennessee where Joe Burrow

1246
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 17: got sacked nine times and the Bengals still won the game.

1247
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 17: You did that in the state championship game for Saint

1248
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 17: X back in twenty sixteen. Describe that season because it

1249
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 17: was not a smooth ride for the Bombers.

1250
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 18: Yeah, very similar to this year. I think, you know,

1251
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,439
Speaker 18: the at least the opportunity. You know, we went five

1252
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 18: and five in the regular season. Steve Speck actually wrote

1253
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 18: a book about that season. But when five and five

1254
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 18: I had injuries. We had injuries going into the season.

1255
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 18: I think that we had five starters out by the

1256
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 18: first week, so you know, it was a lot of

1257
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 18: ups and downs, but put together some some good wins

1258
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 18: in the back end, made made it into the playoffs,

1259
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 18: is a very late seed, and then rode that momentum

1260
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 18: all the way to the state championship. And I think

1261
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 18: that you know, you in those situations, you know, I

1262
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 18: compare it, you can compare it in every level. You know,

1263
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 18: you just got to find a way to string together wins.

1264
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 18: But then once you get to the big dance and

1265
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 18: it's one, one game at a time, anything can happen.

1266
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 18: So I think that that's always been my mindset is

1267
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 18: you know, season's long, it's gonna be tough, and there's

1268
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 18: gonna be ups and downs, but weathering that storm and

1269
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 18: being able to at least get to the final that

1270
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 18: you know, that final show, then anybody can win every

1271
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 18: single week. So it's just about putting putting enough together,

1272
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 18: you know, because you're gonna face adversity, but if you

1273
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 18: can put enough together to get to that point, then

1274
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 18: you can catch a hot streak.

1275
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 17: From a state championship at Saint X. It was on

1276
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 17: to Penn State, where you spent six years. Why did

1277
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 17: you choose the Nidney Lions.

1278
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 18: It really came down to James Franklin and I hate

1279
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 18: to see him go. It was tough to see him go,

1280
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 18: for sure, and I know a lot of guys in

1281
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 18: that locker room are still feeling that just because, you know,

1282
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 18: James was such a great guy, a family man, somebody

1283
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 18: who really preached, you know, the same mantra similar to

1284
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 18: Saint X men for others. You know, it was kind

1285
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 18: of the same way at Penn State, and my mom

1286
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 18: really fell in love with the idea of me going

1287
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 18: to that school.

1288
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 19: Thank god she did, because.

1289
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 18: I really, you know, she she was a big proponent

1290
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 18: of going to Penn State, staying committed the whole way

1291
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 18: through committing early and staying committed. So I owe a

1292
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 18: lot to my parents for kind of steering me in

1293
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 18: that direction. I always loved Penn State, but once I

1294
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 18: got there, it's around the people, you know, Pennsylvania. I

1295
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 18: really consider Pennsylvania and Ohio to be the two spots

1296
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 18: that I really love Midwest kid through and through, that's

1297
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 18: for sure.

1298
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 17: After a record setting career at Penn State. You were

1299
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 17: a fifth round draft picked by the Green Packers. Describe

1300
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 17: your draft experience.

1301
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 19: It was a crazy one.

1302
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 18: I you know, I didn't get invited to the combine,

1303
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 18: was counted out a bunch of different times. And then

1304
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 18: as I kind of told my story through the draft

1305
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 18: process the scouts and kind of worked my way.

1306
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 19: Up to to to the.

1307
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,439
Speaker 18: The GM level and the coaches level, I think that

1308
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 18: my story is all about heart and will and what

1309
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 18: I can provide from a value perspective to a team.

1310
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 18: And it's it's a day to day thing. You know,

1311
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 18: You're gonna get my best every single day, doesn't matter,

1312
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 18: you know, if it's if it's a Monday or Tuesday

1313
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 18: off day, or if it's game day. You know, I'm

1314
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 18: gonna give it my all because I'm I always like

1315
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 18: to think I'm an ultimate competitor.

1316
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 19: You know, I want to win as much as the

1317
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 19: next guy.

1318
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 18: And I'll do whatever it takes for my teammates to

1319
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 18: be able to get that done. I think that, you know,

1320
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 18: Green Bay heard that. I know that in the process Cincinnati,

1321
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,439
Speaker 18: you know, I was talking to brad Our, quarterback coach

1322
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 18: as well, and he even reminded me that you know,

1323
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 18: they weren't taking a quarterback in the draft, but if

1324
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 18: I did slip outside of the draft, you know, since

1325
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 18: he was gonna try to be the first call that

1326
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 18: they make to get me here. So I always appreciated them.

1327
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 18: But Green Bay, you know, took that shot in the

1328
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 18: fifth round. You know, I was able to back up

1329
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 18: Jay Love for a couple of years, and I thought

1330
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 18: that the bonds that I created in that locker room,

1331
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 18: I have a lot of respect for how the Packers

1332
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 18: run their organization.

1333
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 19: It's just a it's a it's a well run show.

1334
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 19: And I think that it really helped me early in

1335
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 19: my career to be able to see how it's done.

1336
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 19: So that way, you know, I.

1337
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 18: Can bring that that energy and that mindset into places

1338
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 18: like this.

1339
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 17: We're visiting with Sean Clifford. You join the Bengals in

1340
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 17: September following Joe Burrow's injury. Do all of your Cincinnati

1341
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 17: friends and family members ask you what's Joe Burrow?

1342
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 6: Like?

1343
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 18: I think it's it's both Joe's now, obviously, you know,

1344
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 18: being in the in a room full of Joe's and Jake,

1345
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 18: you know, we have three great minds in that room

1346
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 18: that that all contribute in different ways. You know, I

1347
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 18: think that Joe Burrow is somebody who has a lot

1348
01:04:56,320 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 18: of experience early He's an elite, elite talent and somebody

1349
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 18: who I've It's funny if we we lost the game

1350
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 18: into Minnesota in twenty nineteen in a in a very

1351
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 18: controversial game that I won't get into because referees in

1352
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 18: my opinion, but if we win that game, in which

1353
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 18: we should have, we actually would have played Joe and

1354
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 18: the LS in the LSU Tigers in the first week

1355
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 18: of that that playoff. So I've always seen him as

1356
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 18: a great competitor. I've seen him as somebody who you know,

1357
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 18: I I have a lot of respect for, and so

1358
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 18: you know, he provides so much value to that room.

1359
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 18: And then you add Joe Flacco in the mix, his

1360
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 18: experience and all the stories that he can tell, different

1361
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 18: looks and different players he's played with, and how to

1362
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 18: scheme certain ways.

1363
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 10: Uh.

1364
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 19: It truly is.

1365
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 18: Incredible to just see the full picture. And then you

1366
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 18: layer and again a guy like Jake who's done such

1367
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 18: a good job of backing up Joe and and coming

1368
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 18: into big situations and winning games. Very blessed to be

1369
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 18: a part of this room, and I think it's competitive.

1370
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 18: I think it's exciting and someone that really pushes not

1371
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 18: only our room, but the players around us as well

1372
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,479
Speaker 18: to be their best version of the selves and really

1373
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 18: elevate the competition.

1374
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 17: A few wild card topics now for Bengals quarterback Sean Clifford.

1375
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 17: Who is your all time favorite athlete in any sport

1376
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 17: and why?

1377
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 18: I think Kobe's probably an old timer for me, just

1378
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 18: because of the mindset, the mentality, the mama mentality of I.

1379
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 19: Think he was such a servant leader outside the community.

1380
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 18: I think that he did a lot as you study

1381
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 18: kind of his life and what he did with his family.

1382
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 19: I think from a.

1383
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 18: Business perspective, he did so much off the field that

1384
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 18: really really left a mark. From a community perspective, he

1385
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 18: was always pouring back into kids and being able to

1386
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 18: really give back.

1387
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 19: To that community.

1388
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 18: But then when you turn on the tape and you

1389
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 18: watch him in a game, he turns into a complete

1390
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 18: nutter savage, and I think that that's I think that

1391
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 18: there's time and place for all.

1392
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 4: That, you know.

1393
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 18: I think that you have to be an upstanding, an

1394
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 18: upset and a citizen and a good man in the

1395
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 18: community and I always try to be that, especially now

1396
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 18: being back in the community that gave me so much.

1397
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 18: But really, for a guy like that, you know, when

1398
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 18: when when it's time to play ball, I think it.

1399
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 18: You know, there is a switch that you can turn

1400
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 18: on and it's okay to to kind of get aggressive

1401
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 18: in that situation because you know, all that hard work

1402
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 18: and dedication that you put in to be able to to.

1403
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 19: Win and to you know, have the chance to win.

1404
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 19: It's it's it's meaningful.

1405
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 17: Penn State famously wears the most plain uniforms in college football,

1406
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 17: perhaps all of sports, so bland that they're cool or

1407
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 17: time for an update.

1408
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 19: Oh they're cool.

1409
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 18: I'm an old school type guy anyway, so I don't

1410
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 18: think that they need any sort of update. I've always

1411
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 18: appreciated the tradition and I think that you know, I

1412
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 18: I grew up watching I wasn't a huge NFL guy

1413
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 18: until I really started fall in love with the Bengals,

1414
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 18: but I always appreciate watching college ball and specifically college players,

1415
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 18: and I just always loved I followed a lot of

1416
01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 18: nerdame traditional program, you know, with a lot of a

1417
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 18: lot of.

1418
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 19: Good guys, good community guys, and I don't.

1419
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 18: Think I I knew the importance of that when I

1420
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 18: was just a kid.

1421
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 19: You know, you're just watching them because that they're on TV.

1422
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 18: But you know, I followed some some some great players

1423
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 18: just because I was just attracted to the way that

1424
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 18: they held themselves.

1425
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 19: And I think that you find that at Penn State.

1426
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 19: I think you find that in another day.

1427
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 18: You find it at schools that are traditional. So to

1428
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,799
Speaker 18: answer your question, long so short, Yeah, I love the uniforms.

1429
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 9: All right.

1430
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 17: Final fun fact for Sean Clifford.

1431
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 9: This one's kind of deep.

1432
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 17: If you could meet anybody in history, living or deceased,

1433
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 17: who would that person be.

1434
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 18: You know, I'm a Christian man, and I think that

1435
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 18: Jesus would be somebody who I love to meet. You know,

1436
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 18: I think that it's He's the ultimate messenger and he's

1437
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 18: the ultimate you know, warrior when it came to doing

1438
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 18: good in this world.

1439
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 19: And I think that the conversations that.

1440
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 18: You know, I would have and will have one day

1441

Speaker 18: the word and finding different ways to talk to him

1444
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 18: in different ways, but having an actual sit down conversation

1445
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 18: maybe over at dinner.

1446
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:11,960

Speaker 4: tight end Eric All at the bottom of the hour

1461
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 4: going up to five thirty and lap I wanted to

1462
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 4: talk about Sean Clifford and the model of player sama JP.

1463
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 4: Ryan talked about this earlier. Know your role, find out

1464
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,720
Speaker 4: where you can fit in, and then take advantage of

1465
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 4: those opportunities. Some I Jfirans figured out how to stay

1466
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,759
Speaker 4: in this league. But being a great special teams player

1467
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 4: and a blocker. Sean Clifford, as he told people. Yeah,

1468
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,639
Speaker 4: I may not be that that Joe Burrow. I may

1469
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 4: not be that Joe Flagele. I'm gonna be a guy

1470
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 4: that can add some value somewhere in this locker room,

1471
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 4: in this facility. And he's doing that. He is.

1472
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 5: I mean, most teams have three quarterbacks, two on the

1473
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 5: active roster, one on the practice squad. It's not a

1474
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 5: bad living. It's not a bad way to live your

1475
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 5: life to be a practice squad quarterback like Clifford Uh

1476
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 5: at this stage of his career and you never know,

1477
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 5: one injury and you're in a different, a different dynamic,

1478
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 5: whole new world, and you're at that point if you

1479
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,839
Speaker 5: have not done everything you possibly could to get yourself

1480
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 5: ready to take advantage of that opportunity. When not, when

1481
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 5: opportunity knocks, shame on you, you know, I mean, there's

1482
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 5: there's nobody else that you can blame. You know, you

1483
01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 5: got to make the most of your situation and your

1484
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 5: individual situation. And Clifford's the type of guy to do

1485
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 5: That's my J. P. Ryan type of guy to do that.

1486
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 5: There's a lot of guys in the football team that

1487
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 5: you know, the last offensive lineman, defensive line and linebacker.

1488
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 5: I mean, those guys are You're struggling to to to

1489
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 5: have your NFL career advance another year, you know, pick

1490
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 5: up another year as a vested player. If you get four,

1491
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 5: I think it's up to five now, five years of

1492
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 5: vested seasons, you qualify for a retirement plan. So you know,

1493
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 5: there's a lot of a lot of things, a lot

1494
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,759
Speaker 5: of goals that you can set for yourself and and

1495
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 5: and try to knock them off and achieve them one

1496
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 5: at a time. You know, I respect guys that are

1497
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 5: that are fighting for their professional lives like these guys are.

1498
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes me think of Orren Berg's who I'm

1499

Speaker 4: going to share a conversation with, is a guy that, hey,

1501
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 4: but hey, man, I'm a guy that fits. He's bring

1503
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:00,839
Speaker 4: to contribute.

1504
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: Yep.

1505
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 4: And that's what makes guys like that special.

1506
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 6: Hits.

1507
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 4: My conversation with Oran Burks, Wayne box Miller with linebacker

1508
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 4: Oran Berks and Orrin first of all, talk about just

1509
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 4: being in Cincinnati after spending the time in Philly. Yeah,

1510
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 4: it's been great, it's been great.

1511
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 20: It's been an awesome city, a great locker room. I

1512
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,719
Speaker 20: really love our linebacker room. We got a close group

1513
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 20: and our talented guys.

1514
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 4: So they're walking over with open artist. Let's talk about

1515
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 4: winning the super Bowl before that? What was a pinnacle moment?

1516
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 4: Prior to winning the Super Bowl? I went to back back.

1517
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 20: I was with the Niners before, so we went to

1518
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 20: the big game in Vegas and then you know, being

1519
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 20: able to run it back against this a team with

1520
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 20: Philly last year was specialist. So you know, I played

1521
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 20: in a lot of playoff games on the midst of

1522
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 20: my first year, but you know, when you get into

1523
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 20: December or January, the games mattered a little bit more.

1524
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 4: So it's always fun to be in the hut for that. Now,

1525
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 4: have guys in this locker room talked to you about

1526
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 4: that that that magical moment and what it felt like.

1527
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 20: A little bit, you know, it's it's a recency thing.

1528
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 20: It's like, this is what we're worried about right now,

1529
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 20: this team, this this is the year that we're having

1530
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 20: this journey that we're on. But you know, there's definitely

1531
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 20: been guys that pick my brain about, you know, different

1532
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 20: things that I've experienced in my career and not a

1533
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 20: lot of ups and downs, but you know, still here,

1534
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 20: you're eight. You know that's that's a blessing in itself,

1535
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 20: and you know, just taking one day at a time.

1536
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 4: Always ask players when did it go from a game

1537
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 4: of football to realizing it's a business called football?

1538
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 20: I think pretty early, you know, just the amount of

1539
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 20: eyes that are on you, the pressure from the outside,

1540
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 20: and the quicker that you realize you can ignore the

1541
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 20: outside noise, worry about your internal journey. What's gonna make

1542
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 20: you the best version of yourself? Being a very teammate,

1543
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 20: a great houseband, a great father. That's what really matters at.

1544
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 4: End of the day.

1545
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 20: And this is a kid's game that we're fortunate enough

1546
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 20: to play. But you know you were able to do

1547
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 20: at a high level. It's gonna be in the league

1548
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 20: for a long time, So I don't take a day

1549
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 20: for granted.

1550
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 4: Has it going fast for you?

1551
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: Uh?

1552
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 4: Fast and slow?

1553
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 6: You know?

1554
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 20: I look around the league and see you guys that

1555
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 20: were you know, here when I first got in, and

1556
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 20: you know some of them are out somewhere so in

1557
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 20: and you know that you definitely don't take it for granted.

1558
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 20: You know that it's not you know, not promise at all.

1559
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,719
Speaker 20: So every snap, every game, just trying to take advantage

1560
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 20: of that. But you know, it's it's been it's been

1561
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 20: a fun journey. I've learned so much about myself and

1562
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 20: you know, continue to sharpen my tools as I go.

1563
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. Lastly, culture matters, you know in life and sports

1564
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 4: and business. What culture trace have you noticed about this

1565
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 4: team that maybe reminds you of your Super Bowl teams?

1566
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:27,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think we're going through a rough pash right now,

1567
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 20: but gods, just sitting together, That's that's the biggest thing.

1568
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 20: Is like there's always gonna be somep of adversity. Is

1569
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 20: how you bounce back. And I feel like we have

1570
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 20: the character of guys in this locker room to see

1571
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 20: it through and you know, there's no quit you know, defensively,

1572
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 20: we've been putting in some tough situation, but you know,

1573
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 20: we we're able to bounce back, create turnover the good

1574
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 20: stops and that's the mindset we have to have, you know,

1575
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 20: to put on our back and be ready to go.

1576
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 20: So you know that it takes everybody. So I feel

1577
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 20: like everybody's bought in.

1578
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Always appreciate your time. Many appreciate you. Yeah,

1579
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 4: that's what one burg said. Again, find a fit. There's

1580
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 4: only Joe Burrow, there's only one Jamarte, there's only one

1581
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 4: t Higgins's. There's a lot of guys that are one

1582
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 4: of one. But there's a lot of guys that can

1583
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 4: find their way to be that two, two a three

1584
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 4: whatever it is. To just find a way to stay

1585
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,000
Speaker 4: in this league. And like you say, get those numbers in.

1586
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, And like you guys were talking about, nothing's promised, right,

1587
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 5: you know, I mean if you if you make it

1588
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 5: as a rookie, doesn't mean you're gonna make it your

1589
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 5: second year. I mean it's another whole battle, man, income,

1590
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 5: a whole new crop of draft picks, income, a bunch

1591
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 5: of free agents out there, you know, in the National

1592
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 5: Football League from other teams. You just you have to

1593
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 5: you have to fight, scratch and claw for every single

1594
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 5: year that you play in the National Football League. And man,

1595
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 5: when opportunity knocks, you do have to knock the door down. Man,

1596
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,919
Speaker 5: you have to answer, and you have to answer strongly,

1597
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 5: because if you play in this in this league for

1598
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 5: five years and get yourself vested for retirement, that's a

1599
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 5: hell of an accomplishment.

1600
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 4: It is. Tanner Hudson had a great point today. We

1601
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 4: were talking the interview later in the season, but he

1602
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 4: said every year the coaches get was considered a new toy.

1603
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 4: He said about another pick. And that's a great way

1604
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 4: to say it. It's a new toy. Like what what

1605
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 4: what can this guy do? What can he do? U?

1606
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 4: Can he block any cats?

1607
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 6: Right?

1608
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 4: He can do both? Oh, look at the sign of you.

1609
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 4: Oh I forgot about you over there. Yeah, I'm so

1610
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 4: ight enamored with this. But it is uh, it's always Uh.

1611
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 4: I'm trying to remember the player that told me he

1612
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 4: was on a series of one year contracts and he

1613
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 4: had a multi year deal, but he said, really, hey,

1614
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 4: I'm just on I'm on a year to year contract.

1615
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.

1616
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 5: Whoever, that guy is a wise man because you know,

1617
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 5: unless you can have a series you can have a

1618
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 5: five year contract, but unless it's guaranteed money, right, you

1619
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 5: are on a series of one year contracts. You know,

1620
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 5: it's like you're you're in a competitive environment, like we

1621
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 5: talked about, you have to win your job every single

1622
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 5: season that you play. And uh, you know, I feel

1623
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 5: like I was blessed man to get ten years in

1624
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 5: the National Football League because every single one of them. Man,

1625
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 5: you were scrapping in fighting for your job due no doubt.

1626
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 4: No question about it. We'll take a break and come

1636
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 4: game coming up the New England Patriots. Uh since a

1637
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 4: Bengals will Joe play? Yes he will? Yes he will.

1638
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if his last name is a girl

1639
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 4: or flag old.

1640
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:38,080

1643
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 4: We always look at the matchups, kind of one on

1644
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 4: one matchups, and then I think, for me, Uh, I

1645
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 4: want to see what t Higgins says. I don't believe

1646
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 4: that a coach will double him until it's gonna put

1647
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 4: him probably in some great opportunities to go one on

1648
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,839
Speaker 4: one and then also, uh, you know with the Bengals

1649
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 4: offensive line. I tell you, I thought. I told him

1650
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 4: Maris Mems today, I thought he played TJ Widde as

1651
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 4: well as anybody's played TZ. And he said, all the

1652
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 4: way beat me a couple of times. I said, yeah,

1653
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 4: he's a future Hall of Famer. You know, he beats

1654
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 4: you a couple I said, but you were all over

1655
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 4: that guy. He made TJ's day long, he did.

1656
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 5: I mean, Mims is a special talent man. The guys,

1657
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:28,839
Speaker 5: you know, really, Orlando Brown and Amarius Mems are genetic freaks,

1658
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 5: genetic marvels. There's not many guys walking around planet Earth six',

1936
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 4: know this week The bengals, win they could probably leap

1937
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 4: frog over The, dolphins and then they get The, ravens

1938
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 4: who are two spots ahead of, them, right and you

1939
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:43,640
Speaker 4: go after. Them buffalo is, struggling but then you get

1940
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,639
Speaker 4: The ravens in two more. Weeks you think about just those,

1941
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 4: three the two Opportunities New england And, baltimore and you

1942
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 4: play one game at a. Time But i'm just looking

1943
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 4: at this pair of. Games you win those two, games

1944
01:32:57,080 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 4: the playoff, picture, yeah turns significantly towards you because the

1945
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 4: two people that you beat are ahead of.

1946
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 5: You, yeah they're ahead of. You and uh and and

1947
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 5: then of Course baltimore is in your. Division so you,

1948
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:11,639

1952
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:26,040
Speaker 5: not a foregone conclusion that The Cincinnati bengals are done

1953
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 5: for the season in terms of playoff. Possibilities they have

1954
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 5: a long road ahead of. Them you're gonna have to

1955

1970
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 4: if you can beat them in head to, head you

1971
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 4: will go. Too and oh against The ravens and you're,

1972
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 4: tired you're out right. Away if, not then they're gonna

1973
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 4: look at what you both did in the same. Division.

1974
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:23,960
Speaker 5: Right so if you go two and, oh that's. Great

1975
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 5: but if you're one and, one now what's the overall?

01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 4: Browns. Yeah then after that best one lost time percentage

1980
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:39,559
Speaker 4: in common, games so obviously in your, division and then

1981
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:43,639
Speaker 4: everybody that you, played and then after that best one

1982
01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 4: lost time percentage games played within the. Conference so we're

1983
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:50,040
Speaker 4: talking about winning THOSE afc, games how critical those. Are

1984
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 4: but the division starts. First you gotta win those games

1985
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 4: in the, division. Right. Uh and like you, said if

1986
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 4: you can go two for in the, division, man which is,

1987
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 4: oh that's. Big and and really you look.

1988
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:07,800
Speaker 5: At how THE nfl schedules now the entire, division, uh,

1989
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 5: direct the teams they play are not just the division,

1990
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,719
Speaker 5: teams but the out of division teams are the. SAME

1991
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,200
Speaker 5: i mean top to, bottom you, know so they can

1992
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 5: go through all those tie, breakers you can get to

1993
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 5: tie breaker number, six seven to eight because they're all common,

1994
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 5: opponents you, know so the only the only. DIFFERENCE a

1995
01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 5: lot of, times THE afc stays similar throughout the entire,

1996
01:35:30,240 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 5: schedule THE, nfc The National Football conferences that may you may, have.

1997
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 4: You, know two out of four that are.

1998
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 5: Similar three out of four, maybe but there's gonna be

1999
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 5: one or two that don't have a there's no common

2000
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:45,600
Speaker 5: denominated from a tiebreaker, standpoint.

2001
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 4: No question about. It. Uh this is another example of

2002
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 4: one game season is because you go To, pittsburgh it

2003
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 4: didn't turn out. WELL a lot of things happen that second,

2004
01:35:55,320 --> 01:36:01,600
Speaker 4: half especially with points off. Turnovers england is dead even you,

2005
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,799
Speaker 4: know they don't have a plus one or minus. One

2006
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 4: we're at a, differential you. Know my, say so this

2007
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 4: is a. Game but one of the stats that stuck

2008
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 4: out to me lap was the defense for The patriots

2009
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 4: is ranked thirty first in the league in the red

2010
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,200
Speaker 4: zone as far as. Touchdowns so if you can get

2011
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:23,680
Speaker 4: in the red zone against this. Team statistically, right you

2012
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:25,640
Speaker 4: should be able to put some sevens up instead of.

2013
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 4: Threes and that surprises me a little. Bit with me,

2014
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:29,599
Speaker 4: TOO i will WHEN i saw.

2015
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,639
Speaker 5: That, Yeah and you, know usually it's Like ben but don't,

2016
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:36,400

2017
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 5: Twenties it'll be a track. Meet and then you get

2018
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 5: in the in the red, zone inside the twenty and

2019
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 5: inside the, ten the low red, zone they buckle, down you,

2020
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 5: know and you might you might be able to kick

2021
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 5: a field. Goal and that's that's about. It so, yeah

2022
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 5: it's going to be. Interesting hopefully the hopefully The bengals

2023
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 5: can put a few tuddies up on the. Board man

2024
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 5: love to see them score four touchdowns in that game

01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 5: Or five game winning. Streak love to see The bengals

2059
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:43,560
Speaker 5: on a six game winning. Streak they went out that

2060
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 5: dog would hunt right, there.

2061
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 4: No, question you. Know looking back at That jets game

2062
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 4: when they Played New, England New england only averaged two

2063
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 4: point four yards on the ground. RUSHING i, mean Trade

2064
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,600
Speaker 4: Bon henderson had a big. Game he had three, touchdowns

2065
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 4: two rushing and one, catching but Even may only had

2066
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,000
Speaker 4: one touchdown. Throwing it wasn't a stellar. Performance you look

2067
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 4: at the score twenty seven to. Fourteen it wasn't like

2068
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 4: they just blew the doors off the. Game but they're very.

2069
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 4: Efficient they win when the opportunity is there for them to.

2070
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 4: WIN i think that's the mark of a variable team

2071
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 4: is they don't beat. Themselves it may be, ugly it

2072
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 4: may not be, pretty but they have some soft spots

2073
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 4: on both sides of the ball that The bengals can capitalize.

2074
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 5: On, yeah they, do and most teams in THE nfl.

2075
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 5: DO i, mean there are matchups that The bengals are

2076
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 5: gonna be able to take advantage. Of and the key

2077
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 5: is will you be able to take advantage of them

2078
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 5: to the point where you can win the football? Game

2079
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:38,879
Speaker 5: is is it going to be that big of a difference?

2080
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 6: Maker The.

2081
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 5: Patriots have done a good. Job all three phases have

2082
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 5: supported each. Other, offensively they've been dynamics some games are

2083
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 5: the games just average and the games that their average

2084
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,719
Speaker 5: defense has been, dynamic the games when they're they're. Dynamic

2085
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 5: the offensively the defense is. AVERAGE i mean that to

2086
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 5: me is the sign of a very good football, team

2087
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:06,000
Speaker 5: because you're not gonna have all three phases clicking at

2088
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 5: the highest possible level on an every week. Basis you

2089
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 5: could do you know you're gonna go on the. Feeder

2090
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 5: you're gonna be the you, know Dub bears or somebody like, that,

2091
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 5: right and those those type of seasons are few and far.

2092
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 5: Between so it's which team can play complimentary? Football which

2093
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:26,479
Speaker 5: which team can have one phase support the other and

2094
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 5: get through the season with as many victories as.

2095
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 4: Possible, well here's a stat of it throw out at.

2096
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 4: You The jets in That thursday night game twenty eight

Speaker 4: carries one hundred and forty yards average five yards of

2098
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:39,760
Speaker 4: carry against this, defense and the Way Chase brown has been,

2099
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 4: running there could be some big plays waiting to.

2100
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:46,280
Speaker 5: Happen, Yeah, Chase Chase BROWN i think has had a

2101

2138
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:31,679
Speaker 4: Close last week it was three or four times man

2140
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,599

2141
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 4: whoever the quarterback is this, WEEK i think AND i

2142
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 4: say that because we don't, know but whoever the quarterback

2143
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 4: is this, WEEK i think that he's going to be

2144
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 4: a vital part of that passing game because a lot

2145
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 4: of times that With Jamar chase gone AND T higgins out, There,

2146
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 4: Yo Si vosh, obviously and whoever becomes that third, receiver

2147
01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:01,760
Speaker 4: he may be the third receiver in choice out in,

2148
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:05,160
Speaker 4: lineup but in. Choice so getting him out in open, space,

2149
01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 4: man there's going to be an opportunity for him once,

2150
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 4: again that guy could get if he be set first

2151
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 4: guy with his speed and his north south, running he

2152
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 4: could have some big plays.

2153
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 5: Well and you got a case Where Zach taylor And

2154
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 5: Dan pitcher will they'll put him in the slot as

2155
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 5: a slot. RECEIVER i mean they've they've done. Him line

2156
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:24,240
Speaker 5: them up, there you, know intentionally and saying you know,

2157
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 5: what go ahead and walk your linebacker out, there because

2158
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 5: if he's a running, back have two backs in the,

2159
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 5: backfield you got have two linebackers in there and walk him.

2160
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 5: Out get a matchup on a linebacker and or you,

2161
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 5: know if it's only he's the single back and you

2162
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 5: go empty backfield and put him out, there you got

2163
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 5: a safety on him and they feel comfortable that he

2164
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 5: can win those one on one matchups against linebackers and,

2165
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 5: safeties and he's gonna win a big number of.

2166
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 4: Them So.

2167
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,760
Speaker 5: Brown is going to be a very very key integral

2168
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:56,439
Speaker 5: part of this football. Game keep an eye on. Him

2169
01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,400

2190
01:44:56,840 --> 01:45:00,120
Speaker 5: by you, know simon error by the. Defense sometimes it

2191
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:03,760

Speaker 5: on his field, goals not just, length but getting that

2215
01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 5: ball up quickly so people can't deflect it or block.

2216
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 5: It AND i watched him on the sideline of practice

2217
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 5: and pregame during the, game the actual, pregame and then

2218
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:25,040
Speaker 5: prior to his kicks on the sideline during the. Game

2219
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 5: he'll put like a bottle down and snap and hold

2220
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 5: and he'll kick his kicking. Motion that bottle's right next

2221
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 5: to the football where the ball. Spotted really and if

2222
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 5: his his if his mechanics are off at, all he's

2223
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 5: kicking that plastic bottle and it's going to distort the whole.

2224
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 5: Thing and he's a. Machine he's. Kicking his his swing

2225
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 5: is the exact. Same it's, like, man this looks like

2226
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:51,400
Speaker 5: a mimorigraph. Machine it's unbelievable and uh, yeah that's a

2227
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:52,720
Speaker 5: that's a nice little trick he's got.

2228
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 4: Yea and the other PERSON i wanted to talk about

2229
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 4: Was Ryan. Rico fifty three point one you talked. About

2230
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:01,160
Speaker 4: you always say he's got a howartz are hanging off

2231
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 4: of that, foot but he can get that ball in

2232
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 4: the air and get it. Deep but people don't realize

2233
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:10,400
Speaker 4: fifty three point one is a magical. Number That's Pro

2234
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:11,960
Speaker 4: bowl type. Number it really.

2235
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 5: Is and he's another one that gets some significant. HEIGHT

2236
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,600
Speaker 5: i mean he crushes the ball both distance and. Verticality

2237
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:23,240
Speaker 5: AND i don't think there's a tandem of a duo

2238
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 5: of kickers in The National Football league that get the

2239
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:30,759
Speaker 5: hangtime and the height on their kicks both place kicking

2240
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 5: and punting the football as the two that The Cincinnati

2241
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,599

2471
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:47,600

2473
01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 6: A lot earlier than they do in.

2474
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:56,200
Speaker 5: College so, Yeah so the tight end position with The

2475
01:58:56,280 --> 01:59:00,360
Speaker 5: Cincinnati bengals in, general the tight end position in THE

2476
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 5: nfl is a very unique important. Position can be a

2477
01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 5: third tackle in the running, game you made an extra

2478
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 5: receiver in the passing. Game you know the versatility that

2479
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 5: it requires to play that. Position how important is the

2480
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:20,040
Speaker 5: tight end position to The Cincinnati bengals offense, Specifically it's really.

2481
01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 1: IMPORTANT i feel like a lot of the, times you,

2482
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:26,280
Speaker 1: know the tight end position is kind of slept, On

2483
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:31,560
Speaker 1: like the things that that we have to do is really.

2484
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:36,760
Speaker 1: Important like you know past pro or you, know a

2485
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: backside of a of a run. Play things like that

2486
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:42,680
Speaker 1: are very important, because for, example the backside of the

2487
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:44,560
Speaker 1: inside zone the D. N if you if you ain't

2488
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,040
Speaker 1: blocking that D, n he's there every, time and that's

2489
01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 1: really jump starts to.

2490
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:50,800
Speaker 6: Play it's like the most important block on the on the.

2491

2495
02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:05,760
Speaker 1: go out there and run route like Even Mike disicky

2496
02:00:05,840 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 1: has the block and he. Does, Yeah and you, KNOW

2497
02:00:10,560 --> 02:00:13,160

2498
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 1: have to know everything on the, field well when it

2499
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:17,600
Speaker 1: comes to the offensive side of.

2500
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:20,960
Speaker 6: Things but it's just it's a unique position for.

2501
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,400
Speaker 4: Sure do you think The Big, ten because it's more

2502
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:25,960
Speaker 4: of a physical football, conference really helped you in that

2503
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:28,680
Speaker 4: respect that in A Big ten you have to block

2504
02:00:29,320 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 4: Because Big ten loves to run the. Football until do

2505
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:34,400
Speaker 4: you feel like being At michigan And iowa where they

2512
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:50,720

02:00:51,480 --> 02:00:55,880
Speaker 6: Block, Yeah like there was no just receiver tight. Ends.

2515
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:59,560

2517
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,520
Speaker 1: like kind of Like, mike you, know he's more so

2518
02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 1: of a catch the ball, guy but he never really

2519
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:11,880
Speaker 1: played because he didn't he couldn't really block that. Well

2520
