We've got a 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: very special guest joining us in one hour. He'll be 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: with us for the final hour of the show tonight. 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: A favorite of ours lap and a Bengals fan favorite, 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: center Ted Carris. 18 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 3: And understandably so. Ted Carris is a very very fine 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: football player, high achiever. Ted Carris has worked his body 20 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 3: to an efficient level of production. I mean, this guy 21 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: hits the weight room hard. He's serious about it. He 22 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: knows what he has to do to be ready to 23 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: play in the National Football League against these massive nose 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: guards that everybody's playing in the NFL now. And you know, 25 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 3: Ted is a football savant in terms of football knowledge. 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: He understands the game at such a high level. Quarterbacks 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: love playing with him at the center position. Tom Brady, 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: did you know other quarterbacks at New England did as well, 29 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: And Joe Burrow with the Cincinnati Bengals felt the same way. 30 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 3: Feels the same way about Ted Carris playing the center 31 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: position for him, and he will be again when Joe 32 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: Borrow returned. Joe Flacco right away realized, you know, the 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: influence and impact that Ted Carriss has on this offensive 34 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: football team for the Cincinnati Bengals. So I'm sure he'll 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 3: have a lot of good things to talk about what 36 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: the New York Jets is put in a few days 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: of research and study and trying to determine tendencies and 38 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: things they like to do, things they do well, things 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 3: they might not do quite as well. And I think 40 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: that he's probably pretty excited about the game plan that 41 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: has been installed, and they were out there in the 42 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: practice field today repping that getting used to that game plan, 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: so it becomes second nature by the time kickoff occurs. 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: The Bengals and Jets coming up this Sunday at one 45 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: o'clock at pay Course Stadium, Cincinnati, looking to even its 46 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: record at four and four. That, of course, is not 47 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: the only thing going on at the stadium this week. 48 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: At halftime of the game, the two newest members of 49 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: the Bengals Ring of Honor will be inducted, Leap and 50 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: Lamar Parrish. And who's the other guy that's going in? 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: Oh yes, my dear friend and broadcast partner, Dave Lapham. 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: It's going to be awesome. That's right. Let's give that 53 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: a round of applause. 54 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. 55 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: And from what I've been told, all of the living 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: members of the Ring of Honor are expected to be 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: back in town this weekend. So we're talking Corey Dylan, Boomer, 58 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: Assias and Chad Johnson, Willie Anderson, Isaac Curtis, Tim Crumrae, 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 2: Anthony Munoz, Kenny Anderson. It's a who's who of Bengals 60 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: history and it'll be great for you to see. So 61 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: many guys that you played with, obviously, and then guys 62 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: that you've watched from the broadcast boot. 63 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: You're right, Dan, I mean it's it's unbelievably humbling. I 64 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: think is the word this week is just man, it's 65 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: like an unbelievably beautiful dream that you never want to 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: wake up from, you know, because you're getting congratulations from 67 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: former teammates, former coaches, even players that played against. Some 68 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: guys have reached out and and uh, you know, fans 69 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 3: like the fans here showing up these these shows and 70 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: these events that are going to be going on all 71 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: during the course of this week. Tried to get as 72 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: much sleep as I could in the last couple of days, 73 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 3: but put my head on the pillow and mine would wander, 74 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: you know, it just would not doze off. It just 75 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: would not shut down. It's just an active mind. So 76 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 3: Lin's been very patient with me. That probably kept her awake, 77 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: probably cost her a few hours sleep. Yeah, sorry about that, Lena. 78 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 3: I really do appreciate and love everything you're doing. Love you. 79 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 4: It. 80 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: The thing that is going to be the most exciting 81 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: for me, though, is is how the grandkids are taking 82 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: it all in. You know, they're old enough where they 83 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: understand what's happening. And you know, they're like fourth grade 84 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: to sixth grade. And two boys, two girls, My son 85 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: Dave and daughter Sarah both have a boy and a girl, 86 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: Cam and Lucy and Casey and Gabby, and they are 87 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: over the moon. I mean, they are so excited and 88 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 3: what is the buddy that you're going into the Ring 89 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 3: of Honor? So awesome. Yeah, it's very cool. 90 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: So part of being in the Ring of Honor, of course, 91 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: is the Ring of Honor itself. The names that are 92 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: posted on the stadium wall. And they don't just put 93 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: those up on Sunday morning. They've got to get it, 94 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: you know, up there nicely and in the right position 95 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: and so forth. So they're up. They'll be covered up 96 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: on game day until halftime, and then they'll pull down, 97 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: you know, the curtain and everybody will react accordingly. But 98 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor was asked about it earlier today, and here's 99 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: what the Bengals head coach had to say about two 100 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: new names being up on the Ring of Honor this Sunday. 101 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 5: I love that kind of stuff, and so I think 102 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 5: it's really cool to recognize our players to see those 103 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 5: names up there, forever. Those those men, to those that 104 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 5: are around to get a chance for their their kids 105 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 5: and grandkids to see them up there. I think that's 106 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 5: spectacular just for lapp them over here. 107 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 4: You know, it'll be. 108 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 5: Really neat, you know, for his whole family, Sarah, everybody 109 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 5: to get up here and see see it up there 110 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 5: and never goes away. It's like when you win a 111 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: conference championship in college. I always tell those guys that 112 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: number stays up there forever. Whatever year you wanted, that 113 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 5: stays up there forever, and every time you go back 114 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 5: you get to see. 115 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 4: It and hear in the Ring of honor. 116 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 5: It's the same for these guys that get a chance 117 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 5: to see their names up there and never goes away. 118 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 5: And pretty pretty special, pretty rare. 119 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: You know. 120 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 5: You think of all the players that play in this 121 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 5: league and have impacted every different city. To have your 122 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 5: name up there is the best of the best. 123 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: That's the It's not the. 124 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 5: Point one percentage, the point one percent you know, all 125 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 5: the guys that have come through this building, so pretty neat. 126 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 5: Congressaive the point. 127 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: Oh oh uh, I like that. 128 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 3: And that's exactly right, Yeah, it is. It's it's a 129 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: it's a small number. So uh as Zach was doing 130 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: some uh some cipher in there, I guess trying to 131 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: figure out a way to put it out, put it, 132 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: I guess, describe it, Describe how small the number is. 133 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: I do know that, you know, it's rare. It's such 134 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: a such a humbling experience. Like I said earlier, I 135 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: just there's no way on God's green earth that I 136 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: ever expected that I would be one of the guys 137 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: to go into the Ring of Honor. Now playing with 138 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: Lamar Parrish, It's about time Lamar Parish is in the 139 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: Ring of Honor. That dude was unbelievable. He was special. 140 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: He had a nose to the football, he could diagnose. 141 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: He was a good tackler. They didn't throw in his direction. 142 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: Kenny Riley is Bengals all time leader in interceptions amongst 143 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: the league leaders. He had a lot of opportunity. He capitalized, 144 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: capitalized big time. But Lamar Parrish a lot of times, 145 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: he felt like the Maytag repairman out there. Nobody was 146 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: calling on him, you know, but he he is. He's special. 147 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: He's a special player, a great human being, tremendous teammate. 148 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: He played back in the era of you know, Bob Trumpy, 149 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: Kenny Anderson, Mike Reid, defensive tackle lot of Penn State. 150 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: And that's the guy that I had to learn how 151 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: to block in the National Football League as a rookie. 152 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: Mike Reid was instrumental in helping me advance quickly my 153 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: skill set that I brought from Syracuse alma mater to 154 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: the to the NFL. He was he was great. God 155 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: was he quick? Turning fifty five turn and sixty pounders 156 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: out of Penn State. That sixty three? It just I mean, 157 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: did I close my eyes? How did he get from 158 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: there to there so quickly? How did that happen? I 159 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: know I didn't close my eyes. He was. He was 160 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: stupendous with his short space quickness. So there's so many 161 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: guys that couldn't should be in the ring and the 162 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: Bengals will catch up. 163 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: They'll get it done, no doubt about it. So that's 164 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: coming up on Sunday at halftime home game against the 165 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: New York Jets. Jets coming to town winless. They are 166 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: zero to seven, the only team without a victory so 167 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: far this year in the NFL. But they've got some 168 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: good players up, particularly on their defensive line. We don't 169 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: know who's going to start a quarterback yet, their first 170 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 2: year head coach Aaron Glenn, leaving that up in the 171 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: air at the moment. I don't know if it really 172 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: matters all that much. Justin Fields and or Tyrod Taylor, 173 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: neither one has performed particularly well. 174 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably one of the biggest reasons, 175 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: if not the biggest reason they're own seven is the 176 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 3: quarterback play just has not been efficient and proficient enough. 177 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 3: Haven't got enough winning play, winning snaps out of the 178 00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: quarterback spot. You know, inconsistent would be I guess the 179 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: best description for the play at the quarterback position. And 180 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: you just when your quarterback players are inconsistent, if it's 181 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: tough on the entire football team. Aaron Glenn, the head coach, 182 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: is a more of a defensive oriented guy, but he 183 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: knows haven't played defense and haven't played in the NFL 184 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: that you have to have a quarterback that is playing 185 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 3: at a high level for your football team to operate smoothly, cleanly, 186 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: and efficiently. 187 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: We are at Champions Grill tonight, thirty six seventy Work 188 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Road is the address.

There 234 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: Go That is the student newspaper at our alma mater, 235 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: Syracuse University, a college classmate of mine who has been 236 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: covering the Jets for ESPN and other outlets for many years. 237 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 2: We welcome in Rich Somini. How you doing, my friend. 238 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 6: Dan, good to be with you. That's quite an introduction. 239 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: Man. 240 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 6: We've had some really good sports editors at the Daily Arts, 241 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 6: so thank you for the kind I'm not worthy of 242 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 6: that kind of praise, but thank you. 243 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: Hey, I think it's totally deserved, at least for the 244 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: four years that I was there. You know, I can't 245 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: completely talk about Daily Orange history, but let's talk about 246 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 2: the New York Jets. Who do you expect to start 247 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: a quarterback? Maybe for a couple of minutes. Who do 248 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: you expect to start a quarterback on Sunday? 249 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 6: I think it'll be Tyrod Taylor. You know, that was 250 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 6: the indications I was getting yesterday. I think I'm sure 251 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 6: you guys know Eron Glenn did not announce that today. 252 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 6: He's playing the coach game. You know, he's doing the 253 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 6: old competitive advantage, trying to keep the Bengals in the 254 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 6: dark as long as possible. They split the practice reps 255 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 6: today for what I've been told, But I'd be shocked 256 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 6: if on Sunday Tyrod Taylor is not the quarterback. I 257 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 6: think they're trending in that direction. 258 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: So is it all quarterback play? I mean, the reason 259 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: that Jets have not won a football game yet and 260 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: staring at an oh and seven record, has it been 261 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: the quarterback play has been that ineffective? Or is it 262 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: a combination of man we have not supported the quarterback either. 263 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 3: I mean, there's no position group on the football team 264 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 3: that can raise their hand and say we're doing our job. 265 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: We're playing as effectively and efficiently as as we could 266 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: and should. Is it a group effort in terms of 267 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: do you own seven markt or is it more on 268 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: the quarterback play? 269 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 6: Well, if you ask the owner, Woody Johnson, he would 270 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 6: say it's the quarterback play. He basically threw justin Field 271 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 6: under the bus yesterday when we approached him at the 272 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 6: League meetings. He you know, he just really dumped on Fields, 273 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 6: which I mean what he said was not untrue. I mean, 274 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 6: Fields is not having a good year. This team has 275 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 6: gone They've only scored six touchdowns in the last six games, 276 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 6: and so they are really really struggling offensively. So yeah, 277 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 6: I would say quarterback plays a big part of it. 278 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 6: But early in the year, for the first five games, 279 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 6: the defense was horrible. I mean they were given up 280 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 6: over thirty points a game. So they've been taking turns, 281 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 6: which I think bad teams usually do. And now the 282 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 6: defense has settled down. The defense has actually played two 283 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 6: good games in a row against Carolina and Denver, but 284 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 6: now the offense can't get it out of its own way, 285 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 6: two streat games without a touchdown. But I would say 286 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 6: quarterback play is a big part of the issue, which 287 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 6: is why I believe Justin Fields is probably going to 288 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 6: the bench. 289 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: Rich Simini covers the Jets for ESPN. Talking to some 290 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: of the Bengals offensive linemen this week, they all rave 291 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: about the Jets defensive front featuring three first round draft 292 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: picks and Quinn Williams, Well McDonald and Jermaine Johnson. How 293 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: well have those free guys been playing. 294 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: Well. 295 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 6: They don't really have the stats dan to back it up. 296 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 6: Quinnin Williams is their best defensive player, and I think 297 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 6: he's only had one back so far. He gets double 298 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 6: teamed a lot, but he's still a good player, even 299 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 6: though it's not going to jump off the stat sheet. 300 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 6: The other guys and Jermaine Johnson's really helped them the 301 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 6: last two games he missed, I think it was three 302 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 6: games with a high ankle spring he comes back two 303 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 6: weeks ago, and it's not a coincidence that the defense 304 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 6: started playing better when he came back two weeks ago. 305 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 6: And will McDonald's purely like a pass rushing guy, an 306 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 6: edge player, an undersized guy who can definitely be exploited 307 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 6: against the run, but can bring pressure off the edge. 308 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 6: I would say as a group they're probably underachieving so far. 309 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 6: The talent is certainly there, but I just think they 310 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 6: have not been able to generate consistent pressure on the quarterback. 311 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: Watching tape and talking to people in the Cincinnati Bengals organizations, 312 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: they've watched a hell of a lot more tape than 313 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: I have watching games. They say that defensively, the stud 314 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: is Quentin Williams Offensively, it's Garrett Wilson. Do you agree 315 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: with that assessment. 316 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 6: I do. I think, pound for pound of Quinn Williams 317 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 6: is their best defensive player. You know, he's a former 318 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 6: first team off ro. Now Sauce Gardner gets a lot 319 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 6: of the accolades, but I do not believe Sauce Gardner 320 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 6: will play in this game on Sunday. He's in the 321 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 6: concussion protocol, and so offensively, Garrett Wilson, I do believe 322 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 6: is probably their best offensive player. Now there's a good 323 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 6: chance he may not play in this game. He did 324 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 6: not practice again today. He's dealing with the knee injury 325 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 6: that kept him out on Sunday. They're saying day to day. However, 326 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 6: I am a little skeptical about his chances. The Yets 327 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 6: have the bye week right after Cincinnati, so I think 328 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 6: there's a sense in the organization that, hey, we'll just 329 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 6: let him sit out this game and then have them 330 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 6: come out of the bye week feeling one hundred percent. 331 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 6: So yeah, that's you know a Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, 332 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 6: of two of their best players aren't there. It's going 333 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 6: to be tough for them on Sunday. 334 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, Rich when Jamar Chase or t Higgins has to 335 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 2: miss a game, the Bengals have the other guy, plus 336 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: some other pretty good weapons. When Garrett Wilson is out, 337 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: how's that receiving core for the Jets? 338 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 6: The receiving core for the Jets looks like a maybe, 339 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 6: Like what does Syracuse University receiving corps look like in 340 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 6: nineteen eighty five? You know, it's just well not good Dan, 341 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 6: it's you know, it's Garrett is a sensational player. I mean, 342 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 6: he's clearly their their wide receiver one, but after that 343 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 6: there is a steep drop off. Josh Reynolds would be 344 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 6: their number two. I guess he is really more of 345 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 6: a probably a four or five. They have Allen Lazae. 346 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 6: He's probably a four or five. What I'm saying is 347 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 6: they really do not have a perimeter threat. They have 348 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 6: a young guy, Arian Smith, a draft pick from Georgia, 349 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 6: who's probably the fastest guy on the team. I mean 350 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 6: just he's a blur out there. But they never throw 351 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 6: him the ball because he's never opened and you know 352 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 6: when they do, he drops it. So yeah, long, long 353 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 6: answer to a question is that, Yeah, with Algart Wilson, 354 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 6: they are probably the worst receiving core in the league. 355 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 3: What about the running game. I've always been a fan 356 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: of Breess Hall. The coaches again in talking to them 357 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 3: a little bit, and players as well, defensive players that 358 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 3: have studied the Jets, like we talked about earlier, they 359 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 3: were a fan of Breess Hall. They think he's a 360 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 3: pretty damn good running back. They think he can do everything. 361 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 3: They think that. You know, he can make people miss, 362 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: great lateral quickness, he can catch the ball out of 363 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 3: the backfield, you know, again, make you miss there, get 364 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: yards after catch. And then interestingly and importantly, he sticks 365 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: his nose right in there in the chest of linebackers 366 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 3: and is an excellent blitz pickup guy. Is their assessment 367 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 3: pretty accurate in your opinion? 368 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, that actually is a pretty good scouting report on 369 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 6: Breeze Halt. He is having a good year. I mean, 370 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 6: if you look at his numbers, you know he's having 371 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 6: a good year. They don't use him enough in the 372 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 6: passing game. It's kind of been one of the mysteries here. 373 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 6: I think he's such a good receiver. A couple of 374 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 6: years ago he had seventy five catches and he let 375 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 6: all running backs And now they don't really use him 376 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 6: that much. The Jets do not throw screen passes to 377 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 6: the running backs, which is always another mystery. It would 378 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 6: be a great way to slow down a good pass 379 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 6: rushing team, and yet they don't really do that. But 380 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 6: they do have a good running game. Their entire offense 381 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 6: is built on being a good running team. Now when 382 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 6: they have justin fields in there. In Week one, they 383 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 6: look dynamic against Pittsburgh with fields running some zone reads 384 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 6: and RPOs and Breeze Hall running out of the backfield 385 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 6: of brayln Allen. It's like, my gosh, this looks like 386 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 6: a pretty good offense. But they've never been able to 387 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 6: recapture what they had in Week one. I think teams 388 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 6: adjusted to what they've been doing and stopping them on 389 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 6: first and second down, and when you get them in 390 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 6: third and long, they're just not equipped to be a 391 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 6: third and long type passing team. For all the reasons 392 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 6: we discussed a moment ago. 393 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: Rich My final question has to do with the quarterback 394 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 2: the Jets will be facing this Sunday. Former Jet Joe Flacco, 395 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 2: who spent three years with New York when he was 396 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: still a youngster between the ages of thirty five and 397 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: thirty seven, having covered him for three years. What do 398 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: you think of this renaissance and the fact that suddenly 399 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: Bengals fans are have their chests out with pride and 400 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: optimism that Joe Flacco is their quarterback. 401 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 402 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 6: I watched the game last week and it was it 403 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 6: was fun watching two x Jet forty year old quarterbacks 404 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 6: go at each other with Rogers go and Flacco is. 405 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 6: He's the guy with nine lives. You know, it's unbelievable 406 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 6: how he's been able to last in this league. His 407 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 6: arm is obviously still really good. You know, he doesn't move, 408 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 6: but you know he never really could, even in his 409 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 6: hey day with Baltimore. But I think it's great. He's 410 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 6: doing what he did in Cleveland. You know, as you 411 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 6: recall a couple of years ago what he did for Cleveland, 412 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 6: he injected hope and to that team. He looks like 413 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 6: he's doing the same in Cincinnati, and I think the 414 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 6: Jets are going to be I don't know. I'll have 415 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 6: to get our stat people to look us up. When's 416 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 6: the last time a team lost to two forty year 417 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 6: old quarterbacks to the same year, because I think that'll 418 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 6: probably happen on Sunday. The Jets lost to Aaron Rodgers 419 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 6: in Week one, and I think they'll probably lose to 420 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 6: Flacco on Sunday. But he had no When he was 421 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 6: with the Jets, Dan he didn't really have much success 422 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 6: because the team around him was just so poor and 423 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 6: they were so poorly coached, so he never really had 424 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 6: He had one moment against Cleveland when he led him 425 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 6: back on a miraculous comeback in the last couple of minutes, 426 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 6: and that was really about it, and it didn't look great. 427 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 6: But you know, he's a guy who's persevered, and I'm 428 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 6: really happy for Joe. He's a good guy. 429 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 3: Boy. Back in the day, Paul Brown used to say, beware, 430 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 3: this football team has an O and seven record, but 431 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 3: they are not an O and seven football team. When 432 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 3: I watch them, when I watch the schemes that they run, 433 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 3: when I watch the personnel that they put out on 434 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 3: the football field, I'm impressed. And that's not easy to 435 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 3: do a lot of times with me. You know, that 436 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: would be his his uh, basically presentation to the football team, 437 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: getting them ready for this particular game. Do you think 438 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 3: that the New York Jets are better than their own 439 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: seven record? 440 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 6: You know that's a that's a fascinating question because if 441 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 6: you look at their roster, they do have some some 442 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 6: very good players. I mean, we've talked about them, Garrett 443 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 6: Wilson and Breeze Hall, and they're offensive line has a 444 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 6: couple of good players, and Sauce Gardner and Quinton Williams 445 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 6: and Jamie Sherwood's a good linebacker. The two edge rushers, 446 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 6: Johnson and McDonald. So they have good players. They just 447 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 6: haven't put it together, which is just the sign of 448 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 6: a bad team. Like I said, the defense has played 449 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 6: well the last two weeks. The special teams have played 450 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 6: well the last couple of weeks. They're punter a guy 451 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 6: who was in Cincinnati, Austin McNamara. He's one of the 452 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 6: best punters in the league right now. And Nick Folk 453 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 6: is a terrific kicker. So they have some components of 454 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 6: a winning team, but it just never shows up on 455 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 6: the same Sunday. And they might go out Sunday and 456 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 6: their offense might put up like twenty eight points and 457 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 6: the defense will just have a bad day. It's been 458 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 6: that kind of year for the Jets. So I understand 459 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 6: what the Bengals are coming from. Zach Taylor's probably like 460 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 6: selling the Jets. This is not an O and seventeen, 461 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 6: but they are oho to seven for a reason. They 462 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 6: just self discro and too many self inflicted books. 463 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: By the way, Rich, in response to a kind of 464 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 2: a question you tossed out there, Brady and Breeze were 465 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 2: in the same division in their forties. So I'm guessing 466 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: that Carolina and Atlanta one or the other or both 467 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 2: probably both lost to forty year old quarterbacks in the 468 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 2: same year because they were facing each of those guys twice. Rich, 469 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: appreciate your time, and hey, we've been doing a lot 470 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: of research here about forty year old quarterbacks for the 471 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: last a week or two. All right, thanks as always 472 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: for your time, my friend. Great stuff, and look forward 473 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 2: to seeing you at pay Course Stadium on Sunday. 474 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 6: See Sunday, guys, Go Orange. 475 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 3: Thanks guys, you're so rich.

There might be a benefit of 480 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 2: the Bengals adding Joe Flacco that you haven't thought about. 481 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 2: We'll tell you what that is when we continue. This 482 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: is the Bengals Game Plan Show presented by bud Light. 483 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: We're live at Champions Grill here on Work Road on 484 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: the west side of Cincinnati on ESPN fifteen thirty shot 485 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: step of Placo looking throw it tak the middle of 486 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: the end zone. 487 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 4: Noah fans. 488 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: The Bengals tight end with a touchdown catch and Cincinnati's 489 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: lead can be back to ten with the extra point. 490 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers A little bit discussed, a little bit disturbed. 491 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: That's how it sounded on Thursday night, the Bengals beating 492 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers in a thriller at pay Corpse Stadium, Cincinnati. 493 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 2: Now three and four, looking to even gets recorded four 494 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 2: and four this Sunday with a one o'clock game against 495 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 2: the New York Jets.

Teddy Kay Ted Garris will 498 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: be joining us in about twenty five minutes. Joe Flacco 499 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: was incredible last Thursday night, the last six quarters. Really, 500 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 2: he's played great and this is nothing new for him 501 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 2: in his eighteen year NFL career, he has accomplished some 502 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 2: of the greatest things you can accomplish as a quarterback. 503 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 2: He's won a Super Bowl, He's been a Super Bowl MVP. 504 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: He's won seven true road playoff games. That is tied 505 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 2: for the record with Tom Brady. He's never gone to 506 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 2: a Pro Bowl, but only because he turned it down 507 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 2: for the birth of his third child back in twenty fifteen. 508 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: He's got five kids now. One benefit of Joe Flacco 509 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 2: being here is not only the fact that he's playing 510 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: well right now, but Joe Burrow can learn from him. 511 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 2: Joe has never had a backup since he's been the 512 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: Bengals quarterback with a resume anything close to what Joe 513 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: Flacco has. And Joe is around. He's in the meetings, 514 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 2: he's in the building every day. He's spending a lot 515 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: of time with Joe Flacco. I asked offensive coordinator Dan 516 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: Pitcher about the learning that Joe Borrow can get from 517 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 2: being around Joe Flacco here. 518 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 7: He is He's never been around somebody, certainly at his 519 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 7: position that has the resume that Joe Flacco has, and 520 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 7: he probably never will. I mean maybe I don't know, 521 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 7: you know, like the guys like Joe Flacco. There aren't 522 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 7: that many of them. And how many times will Joe 523 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 7: Burrow get a chance to share a meeting room with 524 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 7: that guy, share a practice field with that guy? 525 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 4: I don't know. 526 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 2: I know I've learned. 527 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 7: Stuff being around him, and it's an experience that will 528 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 7: inform how I coach and how I think about the 529 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 7: game and the type of skills and approach that I 530 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 7: value at that position. And so I think anybody that 531 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 7: spend some time with him could take something away. 532 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: It's an added benefit of having Joe Flack on this roster. 533 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I mean I concur one hundred thousand per 534 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: with what Dan Pitcher you know, has said. And uh 535 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: and you're you're astute football mind, Dan, I mean you 536 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: you pick up on all that stuff as well. And 537 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 3: I think, honestly, name me a better duo at the 538 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: quarterback position, a better one to two punch than the 539 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 3: Joe's Joe Flacco and Joe Burrow. 540 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 4: I don't. 541 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 3: I don't think there's a team that you know has 542 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 3: that that when Joe Burrow is able to play, Obviously 543 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: right now he's on the shelf, but hopefully at some 544 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: point in time he'll be able to he'll be able 545 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: to take snaps and and threaten defenses and play his game. 546 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 3: But I do think that Joe Flacco can learn from 547 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. I don't think their game. Their games, in 548 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 3: my opinion, have more similarities than differences. The way they 549 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 3: approach the game. They're both highly, highly intelligent, big time 550 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 3: football IQ on the you know, boardline mensa. The way 551 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: they see the football field. They can read the foot 552 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 3: ballfield pre snap. Anything they do post snap to try 553 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: to confuse or you know, make hesitation part of the 554 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 3: game for the opposing quarterback, they're all over it, man. 555 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 3: And I think I think that when Joe Flacco, when 556 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow comes back, Joe Flacco is gonna, you know, hesitantly. 557 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 3: There'll be some hesitation him giving the reins back over 558 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 3: to Joe. He's not gonna like it, but he'll understand 559 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 3: it for sure. Because Joe Burrow is the best quarterback 560 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 3: in the NFL. In my opinion, I think he throws 561 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: the ball better than anybody. He gets out of his 562 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: hand quicker than anybody. He makes reeves that are more 563 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 3: accurate and improper than anybody. He can spin the rocks 564 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 3: as well as anybody. But that's the similarity. In my mind, 565 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 3: the biggest similarity between Joe Flaco and Joe Burrow is 566 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: their ability to spin the rock make big plays down 567 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 3: the football field. 568 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: You know, I was trying to think of the answer 569 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: to your question who has a better duo at quarterback 570 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: in the NFL? And typically, if you have a guy 571 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: like Joe Burrow, so we're talking Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, etc. 572 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: You're spending so much money on that guy, you can't 573 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 2: really spend a lot on his backup. Yeah, so you 574 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: tend to have either a young guy or a journeyman 575 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 2: like Gardner Minshew as Patrick Mahomes backup. The Ravens thought 576 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: they had a great backup in Cooper Rush, but that 577 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: was a disaster the two games that he had to 578 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 2: start Lamar Jackson. So you might be right, this might 579 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: be the best duo once Joe Burrow is healthy again 580 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: that any team has. 581 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, And honestly, it makes It makes sense from the 582 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: organizational standpoint because Paul Brown loved himself some quarterbacks. He 583 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 3: wanted to have guys that could lead his football team 584 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: run the offense that he was installing. He wanted it 585 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: to be, you know, highest level possible. And now you 586 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 3: know he'd be proud that his son, Mike Brown has 587 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 3: pulled it off where he's got two quarterbacks that can 588 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 3: execute the game plan that Dan Pitcher and Zach Taylor 589 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 3: put together on a weekly basis at as high a 590 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 3: level as he does. And the two receivers are eternally 591 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 3: thankful as well. I mean, Jamar Chase is putting up 592 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 3: stupid numbers, I mean crazy numbers. Gee Higgins is a 593 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: great support, I mean, probably the best number two receiver 594 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 3: in all of football. He'd be a number one at 595 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 3: a high percentage of the teams in the National Football League. 596 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 3: But the Bengals are fortunate enough to have both those 597 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 3: guys as at one two points. So they're they're living right, man, 598 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 3: They're living high cotton. 599 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: The Bengals and Jets this Sunday, one o'clock at pay 600 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 2: Course Stadium. This week's game is presented by Fifth Third Bank. 601 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: We're going to take a time out. We'll talk about 602 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 2: the defense when we come back, and specifically, why are 603 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: the Bengals having such a hard time tackling people. We 604 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 2: will tackle that topic when we continue. This is the 605 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 2: Bengals game plan show presented by bud Light, Easy to Drink, 606 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: Easy to Enjoy on ESPN fifteen thirty Tan Ord and 607 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 2: Dave laugh I'm back on the Bengals Game Plan Show 608 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 2: presented by bud Light, Easy to Drink, Easy to Enjoy. 609 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 2: We are live at Champions Grill on Work Road on 610 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: the west side of Cincinnati. The show will be here 611 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 2: until eight o'clock tonight and Ted Carriss will be joining 612 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: us in about fifteen minutes. So let's talk about the 613 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 2: Bengals defense, next to last in the league in points allowed. 614 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: Baltimore's last, Cincinnati is next to last. The Bengals are 615 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 2: giving up slightly more than thirty points a game, and 616 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: a big problem has been getting guys on the ground. 617 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 2: There have been plenty of instances where seemingly there was 618 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: a player or a couple of players in good position 619 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: to make a tackle and they weren't able to get 620 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 2: that job done. Let's hear from rookie linebacker Barrett Carter 621 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 2: on the subject of poor tackling. 622 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 8: Obviously, sometimes playmakers will make plays, but a lot of 623 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:11,479 Speaker 8: like if you look. 624 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 4: At our mistackles, it's just it'sys. We just got to finish. 625 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 2: We got to run through the tackle, take better angles, 626 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: and you know, things like that. 627 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 4: So it's all correctable mistakes. There's nothing, nothing crazy that 628 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 4: we can't fix accurate. 629 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 3: I think it is. I think they're their own worst enemy, 630 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 3: you know. I do think the number of miss tackles 631 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 3: is alarming. You know, it's the percentage is way high, 632 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 3: and it shouldn't be because they do have players that 633 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 3: can play football. They do have players that can tackle 634 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 3: in space. But they either the technique or the fundamentals 635 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 3: are both are just not there. They're not right. El 636 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: Golden is probably pulling his hair off by the roots, 637 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 3: there's no question about it, because he prides himself on 638 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 3: a defensive football team that's a good tackling football team. 639 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 3: When he was here the first time, the Cincinnati Bengals 640 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 3: defense tackled well, I mean they're a pretty good group. 641 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 3: Maybe not the best in the league, but I mean 642 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 3: they it was not something that hurt them on a 643 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 3: game by game basis whatsoever. And it's equal. I mean 644 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 3: in the running game, they'll mistackles that turn a you know, 645 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 3: a six yard five yard run into like a twenty 646 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 3: five yard run. Then they'll give up a play or 647 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 3: where they don't tackle in the middle of the football 648 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,959 Speaker 3: field or at either hash mark to sideline on both 649 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 3: sides of the football field where they don't bring a 650 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 3: receiver down after he makes a catch. You know, these 651 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 3: receivers are great athletes. There's no question about it. There's 652 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 3: no two ways about that statement. I mean, they are athletic, 653 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 3: they're big, they're strong, they have lateral quickness, they have 654 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 3: short space quickness. They can make you miss. They can 655 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: turn you know, average play into a spectacular play. But 656 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 3: the Bengals have to improve. They're tackling. Thirty points a 657 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 3: game is not going to get it done. It's not 658 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 3: going to cut it. You're not going to be a 659 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 3: playoff team giving up thirty points a game. It's just 660 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 3: not gonna happen. Hasn't happened in the history of the NFL. 661 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 3: So they're going to have to chop that down to 662 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 3: you know, eighteen to twenty points a game over the 663 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 3: rest of the season in order to compete for the playoffs. 664 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 3: I think. 665 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 2: So the tackling has been a negative. Let's talk about 666 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: a positive, and that's been the play of cornerback DJ Turner. Yes, 667 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 2: leading the NFL in passes defense by far, he's got thirteen. 668 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: I think that's three more than anybody else. Had a 669 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: spectacular interception last week where he ripped the ball away 670 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 2: from DK Metcalf. According to PFF, he's the number five 671 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 2: cornerback in the NFL in their coverage grade. Quarterbacks are 672 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 2: only completing forty three point eight percent of passes where 673 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 2: he is the cornerback in coverage. He is emerging as 674 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: the shutdown corner that every team is desperate to find. 675 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 2: What stands out to you lap about DJ Turner's. 676 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 3: Play, Well, like you talked about the fact that he 677 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 3: is fearless. He wants to take the best receiver. You know. 678 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 3: He'll say to Al Golden, I got him. I'll neutralize him, 679 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: I'll shut him down. I'll help the defense. He does 680 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 3: get his hands on a lot of footballs. I mean, 681 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 3: he really is instinctive that way. He reads routes. He 682 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 3: reads progression of routes at the same rate the quarterback does, 683 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 3: and in some instances faster than the quarterback does. He's 684 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 3: there with his hand on the football before the quarterback 685 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 3: can realize I shouldn't have thrown that football. He has 686 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 3: helped his team immensely. If everybody on the defensive football 687 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 3: team was playing at the level that DJ Turner's playing, 688 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 3: that the Bengals would be in high cotton right now. 689 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think they'd probably have two 690 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 3: losses instead of four. He's playing good football for Al 691 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,240 Speaker 3: Golden's defense. 692 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: He really is. 693 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 4: So is Dax Hill. 694 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 2: Those two guys have really shown so far on the 695 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. Agreed for Cincinnati, we'll take 696 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 2: a time out. Coming up next. If you see a 697 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 2: guy sitting alone at dinner at a restaurant looking lonely, 698 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,479 Speaker 2: don't feel bad for Joe Flacco. We'll hear from him 699 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 2: on that subject when we continue. This is the Bengals 700 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 2: Game Plancho presented by bud Light, Easy to Drink, Easy 701 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 2: to Enjoy, Live from Champions Grill on the West side 702 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. Here on ESPN fifteen thirty to the Bengals 703 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 2: game playing Shows ented by bud Light, live from the 704 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 2: Champions Grilled here on Work Road on the west side 705 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. Ted Harris will be here in a matter 706 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 2: of minutes. We have four to visiting with the Bengals captain. 707 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 2: So Joe Flacco is a father of five. I believe 708 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 2: he told us His kids were between the ages of 709 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 2: eight and thirteen. Right, if I'm not mistaken, they are 710 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 2: going to be here this weekend for the home game 711 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 2: against the New York Jets, but they're not living in Cincinnati, 712 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 2: and that's understandable. Joe's been bouncing from team to team 713 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 2: to team in recent years. Hard to take five kids 714 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: out of school for a few months, so he is 715 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 2: basically kind of living the bachelor life at the moment 716 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 2: here in Cincinnati, and he talked about that earlier today 717 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 2: as he met with the local media. 718 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 9: I think there's always a challenge of sitting in a 719 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 9: room by yourself and being lonely. So for me, it's 720 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 9: trying to find ways to maybe stay over here a 721 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 9: little bit longer and then you know, just kind of 722 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 9: take myself out of that mindset, call home, go sit 723 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 9: at a restaurant by myself and realize that, man, that's 724 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 9: pretty enjoyable to do. 725 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 3: Tell you, I tell people all the time. 726 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 9: I mean I used to see guys sitting at a 727 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 9: bar by themselves, or you know, just sitting by themselves 728 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 9: eating and grabbing a little meal, and like, man, I 729 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 9: feel so bad for that guy. You almost want to 730 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 9: go join them. And now I realize like that dude 731 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 9: was in heaven. And not to say that that's that's 732 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 9: obviously not what I want. I'd rather I'd rather be 733 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 9: at home, sitting at the dinner table with my kids 734 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 9: and hearing what the hell they were talking about all day. 735 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 9: But if you have to do it, then you might 736 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 9: as well take advantage of it, so you know, just 737 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 9: little things like that. 738 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 2: I love this guy. 739 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 3: True, that's awesome. 740 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 2: His press conference isn't great. He's playing great. I am 741 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 2: quickly becoming the president of the Joe Flacco Fan Club. 742 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 3: I hear you, I'll be vice president. He is entertaining. 743 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 3: I mean he's he's entertaining in the locker room, he's 744 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 3: entertaining in the press conference room. 745 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 4: He's entertaining on. 746 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 3: The football field. The way he's playing, I mean the 747 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 3: two games he's very narrow defeat, a nice narrow victory. 748 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got his football team in every game. 749 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 3: And his teammates love him. They love the guy. They 750 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 3: think he's funny, they think he's smart as hell. They 751 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 3: think he's got football IQ and calm yeah Joe calm yeah. 752 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 2: Nothing rattles a guy. 753 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 3: No, unflappable. I mean He's been in a lot of 754 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 3: big games. He understands what it takes to compete and 755 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 3: win big games. And you can't short sell that. That 756 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 3: is a valuable commodity right there. 757 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 2: So after the game last week, Zach Taylor was talking 758 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 2: to the media after the victory over Pittsburgh, and at 759 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 2: one point he mentioned, I need to enunciate the formations better. 760 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 2: Maybe it's my Oklahoma accent. And I thought that was 761 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 2: kind of amusing. I thought, maybe he's just kind of 762 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 2: joking around. Then I listened back to part of our broadcast. 763 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 2: I always listened to a little just you know, self critique, 764 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 2: and I picked up on something that I did not 765 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 2: hear live. 766 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 3: Huh. 767 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 2: The Bengals called it tied a timeout rather, and we're 768 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 2: discussing why they called the time out, and then one 769 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 2: of the parabolic microphones on the sideline picked up, clear 770 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 2: as a bell, Joe Flacco saying a nunciate the formations 771 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 2: to Zach. 772 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:25,760 Speaker 4: It was amazing. 773 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry we didn't pick up on it live, because 774 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 2: you know, we were talking and it got a little 775 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 2: bit buried in the background. But as I listened back, 776 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 2: it was clear as a bell. 777 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 3: Why that? And really You've got a veteran quarterback in 778 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 3: his forties that is unbelievably confident in himself. 779 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaker 4: To do that, you know. 780 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 3: I mean, he understands that his position right now on 781 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 3: this football team is pretty secure and he can give critique, 782 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,439 Speaker 3: criticized the game plan, criticized play calls, all that sort 783 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 3: of thing, and honestly, Za next the kind of coach 784 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 3: where he kind of welcomes that that interchange, that interaction. 785 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 3: So I like, I like the direction that this is heading. 786 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 3: I think that their best football is still way ahead 787 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 3: of them. There's a lot of meat left on that bone, 788 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 3: and uh, it's gonna be fun to watch him eat it. 789 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 2: The offensive line played well last week and he surrendered 790 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 2: a couple of sacks.

That's a great thing about football season. 1000 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,240 Speaker 10: It's onto the next, onunder the next, for sure. 1001 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 3: And with that said, I mean, you guys are three 1002 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 3: and four, right in the thick of it, I mean 1003 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 3: right right in the middle of you know, the season 1004 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,760 Speaker 3: basically a little bit not not quite to the halfway 1005 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 3: point yet, but coming off a win against the division rival, 1006 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,280 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers that have a hell of a quarterback. 1007 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 3: It's going to be in the Hall of Fame. How 1008 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 3: big is that win? 1009 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 10: That's big, But it's only one win, only counts as one, 1010 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 10: so I think it definitely got a bad month off 1011 00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 10: our back and now it's time to start building on 1012 00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 10: some things.

Now, obviously you have new coaches, new systems, 1061 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:24,759 Speaker 10: and you have to share and stuff. But the core 1062 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 10: tenants of how I approach offensive line play are all 1063 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 10: Dante Scarneccia. 1064 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 3: Technique, fundamentals, all that sort of thing and everything. 1065 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 4: All the I was raised was ingrained in me at 1066 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 4: the Yeah. 1067 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 3: So, and this question is way too early.

Is that? Is that something? 1070 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,320 Speaker 3: Is that on the table? Is one of the options 1071 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,040 Speaker 3: that you're considering? Uh, when you retire from the NFL. 1072 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 4: Everything's on the table.

See that that's that's what That's what the old 1138 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 3: line is all about, right, I mean that kind of 1139 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 3: you guys are established in bonds and relationships. They're going 1140 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 3: to be there your whole life. 1141 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 10: They are, and you know, there's not much that I 1142 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 10: can really tell them technique wise, because we. 1143 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 4: Play essentially a different different game there. 1144 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 10: You know, I don't know what it's like to be 1145 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 10: you know, six eight three fifty and there's I think 1146 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 10: that's why Orlando is so valuable too. And we have 1147 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 10: such a great group of guys that play off each other, 1148 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 10: and because Orlando does know what it's like to play 1149 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 10: that as a big tackle in the NFL sure and 1150 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 10: has really mentored men's very well. 1151 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 4: I think Orlando is one of our best leaders as well. 1152 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,480 Speaker 10: So I know I get a lot of credit, but 1153 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 10: I like to defer a lot of it because we 1154 01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 10: have excellent men in our locker room. 1155 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,919 Speaker 2: So Amarus, as I mentioned, is in his second year 1156 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 2: and he is kind of a vet by default on 1157 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 2: this offensive line because you've had two rookies starting at 1158 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 2: guard with Dylan Fairchild and Jalen Rivers. Do you feel 1159 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,919 Speaker 2: like the Bengals are building a nucleus in those three 1160 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 2: spots for an offensive line that you know going to 1161 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 2: be together for a long time. 1162 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 4: Heck yeah, I think. 1163 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 10: I think Jalen Rivers is unbelievable. I think he'll probably 1164 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 10: be the right guard here for eight nine years. So 1165 01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,959 Speaker 10: it's been a pleasure to watch him grow up even 1166 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 10: in these five games and just get you know, I 1167 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:16,479 Speaker 10: tell all these. 1168 01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 4: Young guys a lot, like a lot of O lines sometimes. 1169 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 10: Is just the feel of it, Like you have to 1170 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 10: have a good feel, and the only way you can 1171 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 10: get that is by playing in games. 1172 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,880 Speaker 4: So I mean, I've seen just such a dramatic jump. 1173 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 10: Between when he first was in the lineup until you know, 1174 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 10: this last week. So really excited about that. And Dylan, 1175 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 10: Dylan's amazing. Hopefully he's you know, he's back on the 1176 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 10: field this week and and getting some reps in and we. 1177 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 4: Have to I think we have a good, good young 1178 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 4: group in the old line room. 1179 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,320 Speaker 3: That's the key. Young. I mean, you guys have so 1180 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 3: many years ahead of you of now you're more like 1181 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 3: going into your going into the last Yeah right, no, 1182 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,439 Speaker 3: not not not now, not not not until, not until 1183 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 3: a couple of years. 1184 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,240 Speaker 4: Not the oldest guy on the team anymore. Okay, everyone signed. 1185 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. You could be a son, Yeah exactly 1186 01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 3: exactly if he if he, if he was a young dad, 1187 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 3: you could be a son. But I mean that that 1188 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,520 Speaker 3: group and the way Mims talks about you, I mean 1189 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 3: he looks at you as almost like a farther figure. 1190 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're, you're basically his offensive line savant. 1191 01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 3: I mean you're you're, you're the guy that is going 1192 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 3: to lead him to higher uh level of play, you know, 1193 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,960 Speaker 3: and and he understands how important all that is. The 1194 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,880 Speaker 3: bonds that you guys are making uh in the offensive 1195 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 3: line are going to be with you forever they are. 1196 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 10: And Lucas Patrick was another great addition to your team. 1197 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 10: I mean, what a guy brought a lot of a 1198 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 10: lot of great stuff to our line. And it's nice 1199 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 10: to have another ten year guy around two that can 1200 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 10: validate some of the things we learned as young players 1201 01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 10: and passed them down how we were raised in the NFL. 1202 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 3: To I watched Scott Peters coaching you guys up out 1203 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 3: in the field, and I mean it's it's as a 1204 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 3: former offensive lineman and I know Anthony, I've watched practice 1205 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 3: with the Anthony him being a former lineman Max as well. 1206 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's impressive to watch Scott Peters do 1207 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,959 Speaker 3: it what he does. I mean, he is a hell 1208 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,680 Speaker 3: of a coach. Technique fundamentals. I mean, he teaches him 1209 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 3: as well as anybody. 1210 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 4: He does. And you know, it's great to have a 1211 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 4: group that we have. 1212 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,439 Speaker 10: And you know, I think as far as veterans goes 1213 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 10: me and Lucas are way nicer than the veterans when 1214 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 10: I was coming into the league. But we decided to say, 1215 01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 10: you know, we got to keep this thing going as 1216 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 10: an edgy Wednesday, and we're like, you know what, we've 1217 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 10: been too nice to these young guys. So we were 1218 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 10: on people's butts today and had a really good Wednesday, 1219 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:49,240 Speaker 10: and we'll be on him again tomorrow. 1220 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,800 Speaker 4: Cool, high energy, like it, like it. 1221 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 2: High energy conversation, there you go and actions. So the 1222 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 2: running game was awesome on Thursday night against Pittsburgh to 1223 01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,520 Speaker 2: the year. Obviously, why what allowed you guys to take 1224 01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 2: off that way on Thursday night? 1225 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 4: You know, I think the coaches gave us a good plan. 1226 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,960 Speaker 10: I always say the two biggest tenants of the run 1227 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 10: game or a hat on a hat and get the 1228 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 10: ball downhill. 1229 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 4: And I think guys individually executed. 1230 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 10: We got the ball entering the line of scrimmage and 1231 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 10: in a fast rate of speed, and obviously if we 1232 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 10: can get chase a little bit of room, get things 1233 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 10: you know, blocked up, and he had some explosives. So 1234 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 10: I think we got to continue to build on that. 1235 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 4: You know, we know who we are. 1236 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 10: It's never going to be the highest volume of runs, 1237 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 10: but we got to be efficient. We got to hit 1238 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,800 Speaker 10: explosives and like I said, get a hat on a 1239 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 10: hat and get the ball downhill. 1240 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 3: I thought that you guys finished blocks about as well 1241 01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 3: as you have all year long. I see you're not 1242 01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 3: in your head a little bit with that. 1243 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,160 Speaker 10: You agree, I would agree. You know a lot of 1244 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 10: some people have said that. I think, you know, one 1245 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,480 Speaker 10: thing just watching the game was I don't think there's 1246 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,440 Speaker 10: been a lack of effort at all. I think absolutely, 1247 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 10: but I think that was an exceptional showing of effort. 1248 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 10: And then, like we talked about that in the meeting today, 1249 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 10: is that that's what it is gonna take. So it's 1250 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 10: it's not like we're not going hard, but we're gonna 1251 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 10: have to even go the hardest we can to get 1252 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 10: things going. 1253 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,400 Speaker 4: And that's it showed up on Thursday night. 1254 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 10: It's got to show up again on tomorrow's practice and 1255 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 10: Sunday afternoon. 1256 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 3: So that's why you're talking about being ashy ted. You're 1257 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:16,960 Speaker 3: gonna get after him a little bit to make sure 1258 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 3: that they sustain the level what they were performing with 1259 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 3: on Sunday. 1260 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a padded Thursday. It's gonna be a little edge. 1261 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 4: You ever to be a little little, a little moody 1262 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 4: at times? 1263 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 3: Love it? 1264 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. 1265 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 2: How good is Quinnin Williams? 1266 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 4: Really good player? 1267 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 10: I have so much respect for him, you know. 1268 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 4: Very I think a lot of people don't realize he's 1269 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 4: a very strong player. 1270 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 10: He's probably the statistically this year he's the leading in 1271 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,280 Speaker 10: run defenses from the defensive tackle positions. 1272 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:44,880 Speaker 4: So we have a big task ahead of this. 1273 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 10: That whole that whole crew is good, obviously headlined by him, 1274 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 10: But the New York Jets have always had a good 1275 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,480 Speaker 10: front sevens as long as I've known him, and this 1276 01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 10: year's no exception. 1277 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've played against him a lot, I mean you 1278 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 3: can you can draw comparisons for for a lot of years. 1279 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 3: What Jets defensive player is the one? You know? Like, 1280 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 3: I'm not did you play against Gas and Cleco and 1281 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 3: those guys know that I'm Frank Fraying cramping a little bit? 1282 01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 3: But you did? Yeah? I did know, I sure did. 1283 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 3: Man Clecko, that son of a buck and them being kind. 1284 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 10: I mean the Jets, those Jets defenses early on in 1285 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 10: my career when I was in New England. We're very tough, 1286 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 10: you know, Mohammed Wilkerson, Big Stax, Harrison with Henry Anderson. 1287 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 10: Obviously Quinn Williams showed up. They had a lot of guys, 1288 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 10: had a lot of guys and really really good players. 1289 01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 3: DJ Mosley Yeah, that uh, that Jets front, defensive front. 1290 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 3: They ate human growth hormones and steroids for breakfast, launch 1291 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 3: and dinner. I mean it was unbelievable and cleo ate the. 1292 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 4: Most of them. Can't get away with it now though, No. 1293 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. And you know what I think it's 1294 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,440 Speaker 3: I think it's better. It's certainly better for the players. 1295 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 3: I mean you have to you have to take care 1296 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 3: of the players. I mean the players. Yeah, sometimes they're 1297 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 3: not smart enough to take care of themselves. 1298 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 4: It's a lot of long term side effects of that. 1299 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 10: Absolutely, Especially the business like this, you do have to 1300 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 10: regulate that because I mean, if it was legal and 1301 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 10: everyone's taking them, we don't. 1302 01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 2: Need to get into the right yea, that was baseball 1303 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:18,640 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety eight. 1304 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 4: But that's a different subject. 1305 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 2: All right, we need to take a time out.

And I'm still 1385 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 10: thinking about a lot of what he had to say 1386 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 10: and how he had to say it. 1387 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 3: Not just getting ready to play the quarterback position, but 1388 01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 3: just football in generally. 1389 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is general intensity towards there you go. 1390 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,559 Speaker 10: I I always used to joke, you know, up there 1391 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 10: it was like a it's almost like a sick obsession 1392 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,120 Speaker 10: with achieving victory and really had to go really hard. 1393 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:48,800 Speaker 4: And that was a lot of lessons I learned from 1394 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 4: that and we did win. 1395 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, So. 1396 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 10: You know, other than that, you know, I've had so 1397 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 10: many great teammates. Ryan Fitzpatrick really is probably my favorite 1398 01:11:58,920 --> 01:11:59,479 Speaker 10: teammate of all. 1399 01:11:59,520 --> 01:11:59,680 Speaker 3: Really. 1400 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:01,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, we had such a fun year. 1401 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 10: COVID in South Florida, had a great Miami team ten 1402 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,599 Speaker 10: and six, missed the playoffs.

What about 1492 01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,479 Speaker 3: the rest of the season. Uh, this football team, you 1493 01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,719 Speaker 3: guys are right in the hunt three and four record. 1494 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 3: There's in the AC North. The only team that has 1495 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,280 Speaker 3: got a better record than you is a team that 1496 01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 3: you just beat, I mean this past weekend to give 1497 01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 3: them their second their second loss. So what do you think, 1498 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 3: I mean, how are guys in the locker room? How 1499 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 3: did they react to that that victory? First? And then 1500 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:44,679 Speaker 3: what do they think about the rest of the season. 1501 01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it was greats get a win, get 1502 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 10: a small weekend off, recharge the batteries, and really get 1503 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:51,720 Speaker 10: back to where we want to be, which is, you know, 1504 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 10: putting notches in the left hand columns. So we got 1505 01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 10: a big one coming up to even it up, and 1506 01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,320 Speaker 10: then we got one more before the bye to going 1507 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 10: with the winning record. So all eyes are on the Jets, 1508 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 10: all effort on the Jets. That's all we're thinking about 1509 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,799 Speaker 10: for the next five days. 1510 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,720 Speaker 3: So you had a mini bye week, uh, and you 1511 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 3: had a victory before that mini bye week. How important 1512 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,800 Speaker 3: is it you have a win before the bye I 1513 01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 3: remember as a player back in the day in the 1514 01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,599 Speaker 3: seventies and eighties, to get a win before that bye 1515 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 3: week and have that bye week to you know, it's 1516 01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:25,160 Speaker 3: a celebratory time. But you know, man, now we can 1517 01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,799 Speaker 3: start to string some together. Let's put some wins together 1518 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,599 Speaker 3: and really get in the hunt here and make some noise. 1519 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:33,240 Speaker 10: I think if you win and lose any game, it 1520 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 10: just determines your quality of life for the next week 1521 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 10: until you get a chance again. So you know, right, 1522 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,599 Speaker 10: if we didn't went on Thursday, I'm probably not here 1523 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 10: at Champions on the West Side talking about the Bengals. 1524 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 10: So you know, there's a lot of things you can 1525 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:47,640 Speaker 10: do when you can win, but you can't remember how 1526 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 10: you got there, and you got to go get it 1527 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 10: again because it's very fleeting feeling and you know it's over. 1528 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:54,719 Speaker 4: So it's Jets week. 1529 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:59,160 Speaker 3: Let's talk about Scott Peters, your offensive line coach. Very 1530 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 3: talented man. In gotten to know him a little bit. 1531 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,880 Speaker 3: His techniques I think are incredible. You know, he's a 1532 01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:11,719 Speaker 3: he's a leverage guy, martial arts guy. UH footwork is 1533 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:15,920 Speaker 3: is key and uh instrumental in his techniques and fundamentals 1534 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,719 Speaker 3: that he's teaching. How good a line coaches this dude, 1535 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 3: he's been great. 1536 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 4: Him and Mike McCarthy have been putting us in good positions. 1537 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 10: So we've had you know, great meetings, great instaults, and 1538 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,559 Speaker 10: he's you know, scheming us upright. So you know, he's 1539 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 10: got a big task ahead of him with you know, 1540 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,680 Speaker 10: we have two rookie guards out there and uh and 1541 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:34,120 Speaker 10: I think he's been doing a great job. And then 1542 01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,559 Speaker 10: we have a great veteran room between Lucas me Orlando, 1543 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:39,599 Speaker 10: even throwing Mimsey in there as a leader. 1544 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:42,599 Speaker 4: Of the room. So you know, we gotta keep going. 1545 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 10: We got to keep stringing good, good games together and 1546 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 10: we got a good front coming in. So it's gonna 1547 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,599 Speaker 10: take our best effort Sunday at one. 1548 01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,439 Speaker 3: Leadership leaders the award you just put out there. You 1549 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,360 Speaker 3: can never have enough leadership on a football team. I 1550 01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 3: think the Bengals are blessed with having leaders at just 1551 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 3: about every position group on the football team. There are 1552 01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,959 Speaker 3: players that step up and you know, assume a leadership 1553 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 3: position in every single one of those position groups. 1554 01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:09,679 Speaker 4: What do you think I think? 1555 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,560 Speaker 10: You know, I think one thing about the Bengals organization 1556 01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:17,040 Speaker 10: is we have just such high quality men around offense, defense, 1557 01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,280 Speaker 10: special teams. A lot of people want to do things 1558 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 10: the right way. And you know it is you can 1559 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 10: never have too many leaders because they can't just it's 1560 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:24,679 Speaker 10: not just one voice. 1561 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 4: But it can never be just one voice. 1562 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 10: It's a it's a collective effort. That's a great thing 1563 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 10: about American football. 1564 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,479 Speaker 3: Ted Carris and Dave lappam on the West Side. Yeah, folks, 1565 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,600 Speaker 3: it's the best side. We're here till eight o'clock and 1566 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,639 Speaker 3: it's time for another break. This is the Bengals Game 1567 01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:45,320 Speaker 3: Plan Show on ESPN fifteen thirty. Back once again to 1568 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 3: champions on the West Side. I'm here with Ted Harris, 1569 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 3: my man, the great Ted Carris. I should say so, 1570 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 3: as you're getting ready for this New York Jets football team, 1571 01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,719 Speaker 3: there's always keys to success. You guys do a lot 1572 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,679 Speaker 3: of studying, tape, preparation, game planning, everything that goes along 1573 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,080 Speaker 3: with it. What are the keys to victory? What do 1574 01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,360 Speaker 3: you have to do to beat the Jets? 1575 01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,559 Speaker 10: You know, I think the number one key to victory 1576 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,040 Speaker 10: in any game is, you know, not turn the ball over. 1577 01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 4: Yep, so plus over the turnover margin. 1578 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,600 Speaker 10: I think in this game, specifically for our task, we 1579 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,840 Speaker 10: got to neutralize their front seven. Their best player, Quinn Williams, 1580 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 10: very good player. They have a good defensive front. We 1581 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,320 Speaker 10: have to, you know, be able to run the ball 1582 01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,800 Speaker 10: protect and I think in the passing game, getting the 1583 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,000 Speaker 10: ball on time and like I said, run game hat 1584 01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 10: and a hat, get the ball downhill if I think, 1585 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:38,800 Speaker 10: not turn the ball over, neutralize the front and the 1586 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 10: two biggest factors in the winning this game. 1587 01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that turnover Deal'd love to see you guys 1588 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 3: be plus one plus two. I mean sometimes plus one 1589 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,840 Speaker 3: is not quite you know, enough of a differential, but 1590 01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:52,240 Speaker 3: you start getting up in the plus two plus three. 1591 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:56,200 Speaker 10: Even the statistics are staggering when you look at turnover turnovers, 1592 01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,919 Speaker 10: like winning percentage because of turnover differential. 1593 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,759 Speaker 3: So it is, I mean, that's that's probably the biggest 1594 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 3: key to success at any level, high school, college or NFL. 1595 01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 3: You're coaching your dad's coaching. Tell us about the coaching 1596 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 3: tree in the Karris family. 1597 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, so, my my whole family has been football players 1598 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 10: and football coaches.
