10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Lance Pacallister along with Dave lapham Man, do we have

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: some things to sort through? And feel good of a

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: mini by following a victory on Thursday night? Nothing like

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: waking up Sunday morning and having the realization, Ah, that's right,

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: they've already won this week. And David, I gotta think

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a stretch here when I say

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: Thursday night we witnessed the best all around performance of

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: the season by this football team.

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Lance, I think in all three phases,

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: I thought all three phases contributed, you know, Offense, defense,

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: special teams. Everybody made plays. Every phase made plays. Every

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: player that played in those phases made plays on the offense, defense,

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: and special team. So I agree. I mean, I think

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: that it was the most complete game that the team

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: has played this season, one of the more complete games

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 3: they've played in the last few years. So I think

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor has to be pretty policed with what he saw.

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: Point how nice was it after? I think it was

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: the day seventy five, his return on Thursday night, to

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: have Joe Burrow back, certainly a little bit of rust

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: earlier that he shook off. But man, when you insert

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: him into this football team and onto the field, you

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: just marvel at the impact he has, no question.

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: I mean, he is the unquestioned leader of the pack.

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: He's the man, and he plays that way. I mean,

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: he's one of the best quarterbacks I've ever seen. He

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: understands everything about that position. His mechanics, his techniques are

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: simply marvelous. They're they're just high, high level. He has

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: a great i Q for the game of football. He

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 3: understands football, he knows it cold.

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: It seems like he was born to play football, he

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: was blessed to play football. And Uh, the team responds

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: to him. I mean he That's that's the definition of leader.

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: You know, what do you what? What do the other

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: guys do when you're a part of it? And uh,

46
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: is there a noticeable decline when you're not? And the

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: answers yes in both cases. So I mean, Joe, Joe

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: Burrow is the straw that stirs to drink. There's no

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: question about that. And there was some rust and dust,

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: no question about it. But I thought in the second

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: half he had he had knocked most of that off,

52
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: and I thought that he played, you know, really good

53
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: solid football. He was playing football more of the way

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: that we're a custom to seeing Joe Borrow play the

55
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: game of football.

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: Well here from Joe Burrow a little bit later on

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: will break down more of his performance and things that

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: jumped out before we're done tonight. Another thing that jumps out, man,

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: You look and see the time of possession, almost thirty

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: nine minutes to twenty one minutes, right, eighty plays run

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: by the Bengals to fifty seven by the Ravens. Holy cow,

62
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: that's you're gonna win football games when you do.

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: That, you are, I mean, that's basically playing keep away, yes,

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, remember we used to play that

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: as kids, you know, I keep away, if you make

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: a play, you keep the ball, you know, And so

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: that that's staggering that played. Discrepancy differential is not common

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: in the National Football League, and that translated to a

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: big time of possession differential as well. And I think

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: the big reason for it was the Bengals ran the

71
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: ball so well, you know. And both teams did run

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: the football, so the clock was definitely moving, but the

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: Bengals ran it so effectively, and and and Joe Burrow

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: completed a high percent of his passes, so the clock

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: wasn't stopping, you know. And you know, you make that

76
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: little short intermediate throw, complete the football move the change

77
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: clock keeps running. So the Bengals did a good job

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: of giving less time for the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar

79
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: Jackson to respond to answer to things. And then you

80
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: start to press. The natural thing to do is start

81
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: to press because I'm gonna how many more possessives am

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: I gonna have? I don't know what I mean, when

83
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: are they gonna give us the football back? You know?

84
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: And you start to start to worry about those kind

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: of things for sure. So I thought they did a

86
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: good job on Lamar Jackson. He's obviously a you know,

87
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: a multi tool quarterback. He's almost like a running back

88
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: quarterback in one body, the way he can run the football,

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: the way his foot speed. He was hindered obviously by

90
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: you know, by his injury, his lower body injury. Both

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: quarterbacks were not one, but I thought both quarterbacks really

92
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: led their football teams and operated at a pretty good level.

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: Boy, you talk about a defense being opportunistic and forcing turnovers,

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: that old saying turnovers seem to come in bunches. Well

95
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: there was a budge turnovers on Thursday, and we're talking, Dave.

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: They hold the Ravens to fourteen points in their home stadium.

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: That's tough to do.

98
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: It is it is? And they scored thirty two, and

99
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's amazing. I mean they could have scored.

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: They had four fumble recoveries, in an interception, five takeaways.

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: I mean that would normally translate to forty five fifty points.

102
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: You know, so thirty two. It's like it's good, but

103
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: it's not. Guys weren't let's put it this way. In

104
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: the locker room, guys weren't all fired up about it,

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: about the performance after the game offensively, because they felt

106
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 3: like they left a lot of meat on the bone

107
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: because of that turnover differential. They felt like that should

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: have been a wider margin of victory.

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: Well, let's remember a week ago, we were sitting right

110
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: here in the final segment or so, we were talking

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: about the Ravens and how they had turned around their defense. Yeah,

112
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: and the first five weeks of the season they'd given

113
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: up one hundred and seventy seven points, more than any

114
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: five week period in history. But in the previous six

115
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: going into Thursday night, they had not allowed twenty points

116
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: in a game, and the Bengals getting for thirty two

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: and as you alluded to, should have had more. They

118
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 2: did a number on that on a really good Ravens defense.

119
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: They really did. And again I think the big key

120
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: was how well they ran the football, and as a

121
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 3: result of wund they controlled the line of scrimmage. I thought,

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: for the most part that the Bengals controlled the line

123
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: of scrimmage more than the Baltimore Ravens did. I mean,

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: the Ravens did their share of damage, they always do,

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: but I thought that really that the offensive and defensive

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: lines I thought played their best game together. At the

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: same time in the same football game as they have

128
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: all season long.

129
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you one thing that I still look back on.

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: I looked at it again this morning. I said, man,

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: it is right. The more I look at it, I said,

132
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: it's actually correct. Derrick Henry on the opening drive at

133
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: a twenty eight yard carry, right, He carried five times

134
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: in the first half and ten times for the game,

135
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: and they won possession into the third quarter. That was

136
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: still a twelve seven game. That was like the Ravens

137
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: were behind by three scores and they just didn't run

138
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Derick Henry.

139
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: Thank you telling you. I'll guarantee you that Harbaugh is

140
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: lamenting that fact right now. I mean that that that

141
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: to me when you look at that football game and

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: the score and all the circumstances, and if you didn't

143
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: watch it, you don't really have a total understanding. It

144
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: was mind boggling. We were surprised. I remember mentioning to

145
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: dan On here, it's like, Derrick Henry's got five carries

146
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: right now, John carried the ball five times. I mean,

147
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: this guy can punish you. This guy can wear you down.

148
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: That's the thing he physically wears on you. And as

149
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: in the second half of the football game. Man, your

150
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: defense is definitely fatigued, you know, and just by stopping

151
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: that big old horse, and they decided not to do

152
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: it for whatever reason. And I don't I don't know

153
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: if they outdoted themselves. You know, they're trying to be

154
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: uh yeah, yeah, let's let's uh, let's let's you know,

155
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: show them a wrinkle of two that that they're not expecting.

156
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: And man, that that was a huge miss not to

157
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: run Derek Henry more than they And.

158
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: It'd be one thing if Lamar was Lamar, you could

159
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: entertain the conversation. But when Lamar clearly isn't Lamar, and

160
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: Derek carries ten times for sixty yard, I mean that's

161
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: six yards of carry. Think of what he did more carries.

162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: It just I mean, if you're a Ravens fans had

163
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: to be melting down after the game looking at Dad.

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and you look at the Lamar Jackson carried the

165
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: ball too much, Yes, because he had to because of pressure.

166
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: A lot of his carries they weren't you know, scripted,

167
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: they weren't designed. They were like, man, pressure, I got

168
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: to climb the pocket. I got to try to make

169
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: something out of nothing. Here, or I got to get

170
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: out of pocket, get to the perimeter. Then of course

171
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: they had the design rollouts and the design nakeds and

172
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: things like that, which also led to rushing yards. But

173
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: I'll guarantee you that the offensive game plan was not

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: designed the way it unfolded.

175
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: We'll get into the the AFC North in greater detail

176
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: later on in this hour, but a quick thought, the

177
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: Bengals clearly turned in the best performance in the division

178
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: of this week in football. The Bengals get help from

179
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: the Bills yesterday, who dominated the Steelers and Dave. All

180
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you look at the standings and you say,

181
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: all right, it won't won't be easy, but it's certainly

182
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: not impossible.

183
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: No, I mean, best record is six and six. I mean,

184
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: the the tie for first place Baltimore and Pittsburgh they're

185
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: both six and six. That is unbelievable. And the Bengals

186
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: are what three and one in the division? Yep. So

187
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean they could literally, you know, finish five and

188
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: one in the division, and that is a very high

189
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: tie breaker. I mean that's the one that's the first

190
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: thing they look at, Well, how'd you do in your

191
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: own division? Five and one? Pretty good. So if they can,

192
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: if they can't crawl back to five hundred or better,

193
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: go nine to eight. I think nine is the magic number.

194
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: They gotta win nine football games to make the playoffs

195
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: and then let the tiebreakers do their thing, no doubt.

196
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: Buckle up five weeks to go. We'll take our first

197
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: time out and continue much more to get to later on.

198
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: Jeff Hoopson's going to join us in our second hour.

199
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: We've got so much to sort through from a thirty

200
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 2: two to fourteen win on Thursday Night football and a

201
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: look ahead of those Buffalo Bills on Sunday. He is

202
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: Dave Lapham, a Lance McAllister. It's Bengals on and the

203
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: Bengals Radio Network seven hundred WLW and ESPN fifteen thirty.

204
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: Let's keep moving along on this Monday night tem at

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: Bengals Football. Here's the plan from a programming standpoint. At

206
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour, we're going to break away.

207
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: It'll be Dan and Terry with UC basketball coverage beginning

208
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: at six thirty after the news on seven hundred WLW.

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: We'll continue on on ESPN fifteen thirty until nine o'clock

210
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: tonight with all things related to those Cincinnati Bengals winners

211
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: thirty two fourteen over the Baltimore Ravens. Dave, you talked

212
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: about the run game. I don't want to get to

213
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: that in just a second, but it just popped into

214
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: my head. And we'll ask Jeff Hobson about this, because

215
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: he wrote about it extensively.

216
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: What was it like?

217
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: Give me the scouting report. What was like sitting on

218
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: a tarmac in a plane for five and a half

219
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: hours waiting to fly to Baltimore because mechanical issues with

220
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: the plane.

221
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

222
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 5: It's like.

223
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: You're thinking, there's better things I could be doing with

224
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: my life right now. You're just sitting there and and

225
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: you have no control of your own destiny. You know,

226
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: it's like it's totally it's totally controlled by outside forces,

227
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: and uh, man, it is. It's a it's an empty feeling,

228
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: it's a sick feeling. Then you know, every half hour

229
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: we'll be uh, we'll be the party. You know we're no,

230
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: we're not, you know, we're not. Quit playing with us,

231
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: put messing with us. And finally Zach Zach took control

232
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: and uh got a Delta employee to you know, get

233
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: another plane and he got on and said, Okay, we're

234
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: the planeing, we're getting off the plane, get your baggage

235
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: and uh and let's get on another plane. Get the

236
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: hell out of here. Man loose translation, very loose.

237
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and again Jeff Hobson is gonna join us in

238
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: the next hour. He wrote about it and and the

239
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: herculean effort turned in by Jeff Brickner, the director of operations,

240
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: and he got a game ball as a result. And uh,

241
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: there are stories of the ballroom and turkey at one am, and.

242
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 3: Oh so much to get to with Whicheff.

243
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: Just an amazingly Nightmara scene that actually was handled well

244
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: on everybody's and to make it, to make it more

245
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: bearable from the Bengals standpoint in view of things, big

246
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: thing was the win.

247
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, lo that football game after that would

248
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: have been oh man, no doubt.

249
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: You mentioned in the first segment the run game and

250
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: being a big key here and I'm I'm looking at

251
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: Chase Brown.

252
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 3: David.

253
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: We talk about him every week because he keeps doing

254
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: stuff every week. That's six straight games with at least

255
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: one hundred yards from scrimmage. Over those six games, he's

256
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: rushed for five hundred and two yards, averaging almost six

257
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: yards of carry Dave for the season, He's now tracking

258
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: for fourteen hundred total yards from scrimmage. He's clicked, the

259
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: line has clicked. The run game looks a whole lot

260
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: different than it did early on.

261
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. And he he is he is definitely

262
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: a force to be reckoned with. I mean he is.

263
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: He's starting to give some around the National Football League

264
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: because he can do anything, and he can do everything

265
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: on a football field. He can run the ball. He

266
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: can run the ball with power. He can run with speed.

267
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: You know, he can bust a long one. He can

268
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: run away from people. He has you know, sub four

269
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: to four speed. So and he's put together. You know,

270
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 3: they's listened at five ten like two fifteen. He's probably

271
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: five nine ish and you know, maybe two tennish. But man,

272
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: he packs a punch now is a he's a well

273
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: put together kid. And he's been in the weight rooms.

274
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: His squads, hamstrings, casts are all unbelievably strong. And he

275
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: also is a good receiver out of the backfield, runs

276
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: good routes, gets separation, knows how to change direction, can

277
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: do it quickly with those jackhammer feet that he's got,

278
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: and then he also will block people. I mean he'll

279
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: get physical in that area and he'll take on a

280
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: linebacker or a safety that's blitzing, hit him right in

281
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: the chest and stone him, knock him back some you know.

282
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: I mean, Chase Brown can do it all and does

283
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: all well. Well, I'll tell you what.

284
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 2: Along the run game and talking about stoning somebody, I

285
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: don't want to leave out Samaj p Ryan. I'll throw

286
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: that Joe made to Yoshi, which was just he ripped

287
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: it right down in the middle of the field twenty

288
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: nine yards for a touchdown. It's beautiful, Joe said after

289
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: the game he felt back at that point. But Samaj

290
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: p Ryan picks up a blitzer and just moves him

291
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: out of the way. And it was one of those

292
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: in slow motion you're thinking, Joe, duck, he's gonna get

293
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: and then Samaj to the rescue, got him.

294
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: Right out of the way. Right, You're right on. I mean,

295
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: Samaj is a great blend of physicality and athleticism. I

296
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: mean he's a big bodied running back man that can,

297
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: you know, do things that backs much smaller physical size

298
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: wise do. But then he'll also you talk about a

299
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: one two punch of blitz pickup, Samaj p Run and

300
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: Chase Brown. I'll say that I waterer that in the

301
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: National Football League, there's not a better one two punch,

302
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: a better duo a blitz pickup guys than those two,

303
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: because no, they their goal is to not only pick

304
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: the guy up, but to hurt him, you know, to

305
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: make them remember that. Hey, this is this is Take

306
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: a look at the number. I'm number thirty, Chase Brown.

307
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: That's me. I'm the guy that stoned you right there,

308
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: hit you right in the mouth and uh and startled you,

309
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: stunned you more so.

310
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: Uh.

311
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: And Samaj p Ryan, Hey, I'm number thirty four. Yep,

312
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: take a look, I'm the guy. Those two guys take

313
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: great pride in that part of the game, for sure.

314
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: But I remember Chase. The first couple of weeks we

315
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: talked about Chase Brown being hit behind the line so

316
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: often and before he could make his first cut through

317
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: his contact, and then it seemed like there were things

318
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: that he may have rushed because the the frustration. It's

319
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: not that and I'm going to make something happen.

320
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

321
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: Now it seems he trust that old line is really

322
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: gelled and he's trusting it there's just seems like a

323
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: flow to the runs.

324
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I think I think you're right, Plants. I

325
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: think the the old line is playing at a much

326
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: higher level, uh than they had been. You hear the

327
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: players talking about that that they're very comfortable, and that's

328
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. Having played the position in the offensive line,

329
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you have to be comfortable with how the

330
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: center plays, how the tackle plays. If you're a guard,

331
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: for example, and you know it almost has to be

332
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: you can do it, and you sleep when you pass

333
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: off a stunt. You just trust. You know he's gonna

334
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: be there. There's no way he's not gonna be there.

335
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: So they're starting to play much much better as a group.

336
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: It's like I always compare it to making a fist,

337
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: you know, the five components wrap four fingers and curl

338
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: the thumb around it. That's that's the way they're playing

339
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: in the offensive line right now. They're playing like they're

340
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: they're making a fist on every single snap and doing

341
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: some damage.

342
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: All right, still ahead, more to sort through from this game.

343
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: Jeff Hobson's gonna join us in the second hour tonight.

369
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 7: You know, obviously had to knock some rust off there

370
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 7: in the first half, so I expect myself to play better.

371
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: But uh, it was great to be back out there.

372
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 7: I was, you know, a lot of emotions running through

373
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 7: it at the end of the game, so, uh, it's

374
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 7: just good to be back with the guys. You know,

375
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 7: I thought second half, I started to to put it

376
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 7: more where I wanted and settled in a little bit.

377
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 7: Certainly miss some throws early that I typically make, but

378
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 7: you know, after that, I felt felt pretty comfortable back there.

379
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 7: I thought that the line did great, we ran it well.

380
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 7: Obviously defense played great, so I'm just gonna keep getting better.

381
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: You mentioned jelly off a little bit of rubb or like,

382
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: when did you start through.

383
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 6: The whole first half.

384
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 7: I was, you know, my feet were a little antsy

385
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 7: back there, missing some throws, But like I said, in

386
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 7: the second half, I felt felt a lot more comfortable.

387
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 7: Started putting them where I wanted to and uh, you know,

388
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 7: getting out and running and makes making a couple of

389
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 7: plays with my feet, getting out of the pocket a

390
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 7: little bit. Certainly don't wanna make a living that way.

391
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 6: But was able to to pick my spots go.

392
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 5: I walk going on during the night.

393
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 8: But you canna have any moments where you felt like

394
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 8: you had.

395
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 9: A chance to reflect on the journey back to this

396
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 9: moment to.

397
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,879

00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,960

400
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 7: Certainly hasn't been easy on me through through six years

401
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 7: from a lot of different angles. But you know, I've

402
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 7: worked really hard to put myself in position to be

403
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 7: back out there, and a lot of people around me

404
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 7: have done the same. And there's been a lot of

405
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 7: discussions and a lot of time in the training room

406
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 7: and just a lot lot that has gone into this.

407
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,600

Speaker 7: I was a little more mobile than I expected to be,

440
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 7: to be honest, So that felt good.

441
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

442
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 7: We got a good system on the sideline of you know,

443
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 7: changing shoes out and doing what I need to do

444
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 7: to stay fresh.

445
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 6: Uh, So we'll continue to do.

446
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 9: That sort of playing the game where you kind of

447
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 9: play and sends it out and.

448
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 10: Make over spot.

449
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 7: He thought, Well, I think the first time I really

450
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 7: left the pocket was in the red zone.

451
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 6: I threw it to Yoshi. It was incomplete.

452
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 7: But after that one I felt pretty good, and so

453
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 7: I felt a little more comfortable doing some more of

454
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 7: that stuff.

455
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 9: It just one deal of job, obviously, one way.

456
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: What given the competition where it was said in the

457
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: national decide, does this kind of give you a glimpse of.

458
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 10: What was the capable world?

459
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 7: The next quody, we know the guys we have in

460
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 7: the locker room, we know what we have in front

461
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 7: of us. It is certainly not gonna be easy. But

462
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 7: you know, the way our defense has played the last

463
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 7: several weeks I think has been extremely positive. Obviously they

464
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 7: were great, great, great great today. Uh, But that's been building,

465
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 7: that's been building all year. You see them putting in,

466
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 7: putting in the work. You see al talking about a

467
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 7: lot of different things that end up showing up tonight

468
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 7: in in the last couple of games as well, And

469
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 7: so credit to those guys for working so hard the

470
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 7: way that they do and and putting on that performance.

471
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 12: You would say you and I was kind of s

472
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 12: I guess it's short end of faith in Tanner is

473
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 12: going against the best safety believe.

474
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 10: I mean, I wouldn't see mean differ great action, but

475
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 10: we're not.

476
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 7: Like, Yeah, from the moment Tanner got here, all he

477
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 7: did was make plays in practice. And when we first

478
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 7: got here, and was that twenty two I think when

479
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 7: we signed and I was like, who's this guy making

480
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 7: all these catches on scouts, you know, and didn't know

481
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 7: his name, and then he just continuously kept doing it.

482
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 7: And I've been his biggest fan since he got here.

483
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 7: He just you know, it's it's not easy being in

484
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 7: that spot when you're the third or fourth tight end

485
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 7: that you got. You might get a couple of snaps,

486
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 7: uh in certain spots in the game and it's cold outside,

487
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 7: you're on the sideline. You gotta stay warm, and then

488
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 7: you gotta come in and catch a back piel on

489
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 7: throw against Kyle Hamilton.

490
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: That's not easy.

491
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 6: And he's just always been ready for his number he called,

492
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 6: So credit to him for that.

493
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 8: Some of the challenges that we faced in the journey.

494
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: Is there something that.

495
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 6: I'm just thankful for the opportunity to play this game.

496
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 7: We got great guys in there I'm I love playing with,

497
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 7: and we got a great coaching staff.

498
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 6: I'm thankful for all my loved ones being there for

499
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 6: me during this tough time. They know who they are.

500
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: I'm not going to go.

501
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 7: Name them, but they know who they are. They've been

502
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 7: there for me a lot through the years. So that

503
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 7: makes me feel good. And then you know, obviously the

504
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 7: training staff that gets creative pushes me.

505
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 6: I push them. We got a great relationship. Certainly, I've

506
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 6: been in there enough.

507
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: We better.

508
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 7: But you know, if anything ever happens again, we'll get

509
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 7: right back to it. So we got to keep going

510
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 7: on it. So haven't yelled like that in a wild

511
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 7: Hobbs cloud out there.

512
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow with reflections After Thursday night, we'll offer reflections

Speaker 2: those Buffalo bills, anticipating conversation. In our second hour tonight

521
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: with Jeff Hobson's senior writer from Bengals dot Com, we

522
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: heard from Joe Burrow in the last segment and Dave

523
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: I was struck after the game in a in a

524
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: really funny scene with Melissa starts on the NBCTV side

525
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 2: and the gathering of the players around and they are

526
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: handing out turkey legs and there was a celebration and

527
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: Joe was asked by Melissa about coming back, and he

528
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: got emotional. He paused and his eyes kind of welled up.

529
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: It just seemed like the moment hit him of everything

530
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: he'd been through and fought through and got through to

531
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: turn into performance that Yeah, there were some rough edges

532
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: to it, but he had to feel good about overall.

533
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: It was it was any I think we lose sight

534
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: of that sometime, the emotional aspect of the time and

535
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: effort putting into coming back, and it really hit him

536
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: on Thursday night, it did.

537
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: And and people, you know, don't realize the amount of

538
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: effort that you have to put into rehab, you know,

539
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: and the players, a lot of players get emotion no

540
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: going through that rehab process and everything that you have

541
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: to do, and how hard you have to push yourself

542
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 3: and you think you maybe hit the limit, but no,

543
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 3: there's more. You got to reach down and and find

544
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: another high to go hit. And and uh, I think

545
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 3: I think it did finally all come down upon Joe Burrow,

546
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: you know, and uh, hey, he's human, you know, he's

547
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: not a robot. The guy's got emotions. And he really

548
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: put a lot of work, a lot of effort, a

549
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: lot of time, a lot of energy, a lot of

550
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: everything into that into that rehab process. And and and

551
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: then to go on the road and a division rival

552
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 3: and get a win, you know, to top it off,

553
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: he he came back a lot earlier than people thought

554
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: he would. You know, that's a tribute to him as well,

555
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 3: how how much he works and how the kind of

556
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: shape that he keeps himself in. The guy really is

557
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: dedicated to the game of football. And uh, he's all

558
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 3: about football.

559
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: Albert Breyer of Monday Morning Quarter wrote a kind of

560
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: behind the scenes after an interview he did with Joe.

561
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: And I was struck by Joe saying in the interview

562
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: how much he researched the injury and how many people

563
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: he talked to and figured out the things he had

564
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: to avoid. And he said, I started to think critically

565
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: about it, and he kept researching, and he kept asking questions,

566
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: and he pushed himself. And then the next day, how

567
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: do you feel? And he felt fine. He pushed himself

568
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more. And just there's a lot that

569
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 2: goes into it. It's just not lift some weights, do

570
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: some whatever that there's a lot of I just I

571
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: was struck by researching critical thinking and that sounds like

572
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. It's going to be a project to test

573
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: a challenge for him that he welcomes.

574
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with you more, Lance, I mean, that

575
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: is what Joe Burrow is all about. He's all about

576
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: the challenge, you know, He's all about the challenge of

577
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: winning football games. He's all about the challenge of getting

578
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: his body right. He's all about the challenge of getting

579
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: in his body right in record time.

580
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: You know.

581
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 3: If and I don't think anybody's surprised that the research

582
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: that he put into it. I need to know exactly

583
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 3: what happened to me? What what what was this injury?

584
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: What caused this injury? What could I have done, if anything,

585
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: to prevent this injury? What can I do to prevent

586
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: this injury from reoccurring in the future. You know, he's

587
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: he's an inquisitive guy. He's a very intelligent man. He

588
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: wants to know. Uh, you know, he's a learned man.

589
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: He reads a lot of different things, a lot of

590
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: different books, and h his his uh medical research. I'm

591
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: sure it was exhaustive. And Joey Bosse was telling me

592
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: that man, he had a million questions. It's like, you know,

593
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: how joe is he? You know, he answered one question,

594
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: it leads to two others, and he wants to know

595
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: the answer to both of those, and then it leads

596
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: to three more, and it goes on and on and on.

597
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: But I think that's what makes him great, that's what

598
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: makes him special. He uh, he's gonna leave no stone unturned,

599
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: There's no question about that. And as a result of that,

600
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: his rehab was a thing of beauty. It was a

601
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: record Center. Yeah, he told Albert Breer.

602
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: The original plan in his mind was to return for

603
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: the Buffalo game, but then he started feeling better and

604
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: he said, I was feeling pretty dang good.

605
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: And then that the week leading up to the.

606
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: Patriots, and Zach alluded to it, he felt some soreness

607
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: body wise after practice, which you totally understand it wasn't

608
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: related to the foot, But if you haven't practiced in

609
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: seventy days and suddenly you're a full go, you're gonna

610
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: feel some soreness. And I think everybody understands Zach erring

611
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: on the side of hey, I know it's not toe related,

612
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: but you're sore. We've come this far, and I've always

613
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: I've always remembered in talking with players who go through injuries,

614
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: the biggest challenge is it's like running the race and

615
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: you get right to the tape of the finish line

616
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: and you want to run right through, and sometimes you

617
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: have to to pause right there and think, all right,

618
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: I'm on a schedule, I've got a plan. I can't

619
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: rush it right at the end or I'm gonna have

620
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: a setback.

621
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: Potential setback is a big deal. Lands there's no doubt

622
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: and that's and I'm not saying I don't think Joe

623
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: Burrow was necessary that that was at the top of

624
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: his mind, but it was in there. It was, you know,

625
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: in the back of his mind. Uh and not way back,

626
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: not buried in the back of his mind. And enjoy

627
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: Bo saying the medical people they all had had considered

628
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: that as well. And I can tell you that even

629
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: if in the beginning of training camp back in the day,

630
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 3: a lot of it was there was the conditioning part

631
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: of it, and there was football involved, but there was

632
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 3: a lot of conditioning as well as france and up

633
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: downsitting the ground, all that kind of thing. I'm not

634
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: saying that Joe did updowns and all that, but he

635
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: did a lot of running and he was going to

636
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: test it. And you do you get sore. You know,

637
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: you're you're not a robot, you aren't, like I said,

638
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: You're a human being, you know, and you are going

639
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: to have to work through storness. Some guys it takes

640
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: a little bit longer than others to work through stillness,

641
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: and Joe, being the world class athlete that he is,

642
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: works through it pretty quickly. But there was bottom line,

643
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: no need to rush him. I mean The worst thing

644
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: that could have happened is to let him go out

645
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: there and play too soon and then suffer a setback

646
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: and then everybody get all over, you know, everybody, medical people,

647
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 3: the organization, the coaches, the play, the player himself. You

648
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: want to avoid that at all costs.

649
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: Jaren May of News five. I was watching a feature

650
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: he did yesterday on the shoe that Joe is now using,

651
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: and he turned to a guy named Jeff Angler, who's

652
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: the go to orthopedics for orthopedis for athletes, and they

653
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: did a foot mapping thing with as censors and part

654
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: of what was built into the shoe, and is this

655
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: really fascinating stuff. And it's like an F one race

656
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: car form of a shoe. It's like the topeline shoe

657
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: that can be mapped out for something like this. But

658
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: I laughed because Joe said in the Albert Bear piece

659
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: the plan was when he got to the sidelines, he'd

660
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: take that shoe off and just wear more of a

661
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: normal shoe while the defense was on the field and

662
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: let his toe, for lack of a better word, breathe

663
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: a little bit. But the Bengals defense was turning the

664
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: Ravens over so much Joe was like having to put

665
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: the shoe back on and go out to the field,

666
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: which is a good thing, but a funny thing of Joe.

667
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 13: Like, gotta put the other shoe back onto your back,

668
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 13: out of the field, enough time to let that bout,

669
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 13: you know. Yeah, I mean it was again. It was

670
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 13: a classic, classic day for a complete football game. Was

671
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 13: probably the best day that they could have done it

672
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 13: because of Joe Burrow's return. It was his first game,

673
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 13: so why put it all on his shoulders. You don't

674
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 13: want to overburden Joe Burrow and say, oh, yeah, Joe's back, Joe,

675
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 13: go win the game for us.

676
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: Joe's back. We're good. Nobody has to do anything. Yep, Joe,

677
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: go do it. We know you can. No offense, defense,

678
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 3: special teams. Everybody did their thing. Everybody contributed to the car.

679
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 2: I also believe, final thought, even though he was seventy

680
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: four days away, not all of those away, but not

681
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: practicing all the time, I still believe if you put

682
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 2: Joe and Jamar on a field, just the two of them,

683
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: and blindfolded both of them and set out Jamar and

684
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: said we're going to run this route, I would love

685
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: to watch Joe drop and Jamar run his route and

686
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: the ball would be right there. It's just I'd love

687
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: to see like a scan telepathically of those two where

688
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: they are on the field together, because the lines would match,

689
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: because it seems like they they're in each other's minds.

690
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're on the same page. Yes, no doubt about that.

691
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: And you know, you think about it all those throws

692
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 3: at LSU as well, So it is it's like they

693
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: could they could run routes and Joe could Jamar could

694
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: run routes and Joe could throw passes to Jamarrow in

695
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: their sleep. Yes, you know, just dream about it and

696
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: put the ball right on the money and Jamar make

697
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: a great catch.

698
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's head down the stretch, put our first

699
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: hour in the books, take a little bit of a

700
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: closer look at the AFC North for a we'll run

701
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: a two minute drill to close out the air. Then

702
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: we'll get the Jeff Hopson in the second hour. Tonight,

703
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,040

705
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: putting our first three big hours in the books tonight

706
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: on Bengals Line we're doing it on ESPN fifteen thirty.

707
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 2: We thank you for hanging out with us tonight.

708
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: Bengals Friday Nights Stripes Lance That tour is presented by

Speaker 3: a Hilecat and they're back for all locations this season.

710
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: Out to Bengals dot com slash community Dave.

711
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: We touched on the division a little bit earlier. But

712
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: the Ravens are six and six, the Steelers are six

713
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: and six, the Bengals four and eight, the Browns three

714
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: and nine, and it's it's no great to earth shattering

715
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: news that the Bengals played better than anybody in the

716
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: division over the weekend. There's five games left and if

717
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: you look at the trends, Steelers didn't look good yesterday.

718
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: Ravens with with Lamar certainly banged up, don't look the same.

719
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: The Bengals, all of a sudden, are positioned and healthy

720
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: with Joe back to They're not in front of the pack,

721
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: but they're in position to start chasing and gaining a

722
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: lot of ground on the pack.

723
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's almost like Secretariat when it was closed, you know,

724
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Yeah, I don't know. Take take

725
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: that outside lane and just maybe you're running further, but

726
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: you're still running faster. You know, it's like unbelievable. So

727
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: it would be it would be a great finish. They've

728
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: done it before, yep. I mean they've they've climbed back

729
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: into a race and then and then finished it strong.

730
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 3: And uh and you know, gotting a wild card in

731
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 3: the in the playoffs and uh, it's it's certainly not

732
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: beyond the realm of possibility, particularly the way they're playing.

733
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 3: And again, lams, I think the defense has woken up.

734
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 3: That's that's gonna be a big deal. Well, no defense

735
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: wins championships. Defense gets you in the playoffs. Very rarely

736
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: do you have a playoff team that's a sieve defensively.

737
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 3: You know, they have to hold up their end of

738
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: the bargain. And the Bengals defense has been doing a

739
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 3: hell of a job of that in the last five

740
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 3: or six weeks. Off for sure, by the.

741
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: Way they were when they played Renegade in Pittsburgh yesterday,

742
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: they were booing the Steelers, booing the Steelers during Renegade

743
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers after the game it was perceived as

744
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: throwing his wide receivers under the bus and and TJ.

745
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: Watt wasn't happy about the defense and how the Bills

746
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: ran the same play over and over again and their

747
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: adjustments weren't being made. And it's not a good vibe

748
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh right now.

749
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: That that's a shame. That's that's I feel so badly

750
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 3: for him. God, But how about the on the on

751
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 3: the network post game showy, they preference Aaron Rodgers cashus

752
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: Clay before it's Muhammedally. Yeah, it's like, I'm trying to

753
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: think it was a coward. Was somebody say it's like

754
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: cashus Clay. I mean, he's he's beaten up, wow, and

755
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: he's he's lost his uh, he's lost his fastball, he's

756
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: lost his knockout punch. I'm like, wow, man, that's that's like,

757
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 3: oh man, that's like calling him out, big time, big time,

758
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: calling him out.

759
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,600

00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's been a while.

776
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if we I don't know if we've

777
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 2: ever had him on Bengals, and we probably have, it's

778
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: been too long because I don't remember. But sitting next

779
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: to us now, the senior writer twenty five years Bengals

780
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: dot Com, that would be none other than Jeff Hobson.

781
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: Man, it is great to see you.

782
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 12: I'm only halfway to lap It's good to see you,

783
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 12: see guy. I think the last time I went face

784
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 12: to face was probably in the Marvin Lewis.

785
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: Yes, it's it's good to.

786
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 12: Let's let's let's do a little Homer Jones when Roger

787
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 12: Lap him would go out in the back yard and

788
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 12: it's right with Lapp and his uh and his brothers,

789
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 12: my brother Bruce, Yeah, Bruce, Bruce and Roger.

790
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 4: They can play some homage. That was Roger's favorite player

791
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,959
Speaker 4: was also my favorite.

792
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: Place, right so he could run now Olympia, I mean

793
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: he was, he was an Olympic sprinter. Homa Jones talented dude.

794
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 4: Invented the spike, yeah, which I didn't which I didn't

795
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 4: know till he passed.

796
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he he just kind of like casually, you know,

797
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: classically dropped the ball. Isaac did the the old nothing

798
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 3: better than the classic, guys. Yeah.

799
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go back to Thursday night we were talking earlier.

800
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: Would you be fair to say that was the best

801
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 2: all around performance of the season for this team.

802
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 12: Yeah, there's no question, might be for the last couple

803
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 12: of years. Maybe when you put all three phases in there.

804
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 12: Because McPherson knocked in six, which is which is pretty good,

805
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 12: you know. And uh, what's we've been hearing at all

806
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 12: all year complimentary football. That's what it looks like, boys,

807
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 12: and it's pretty pretty impressive. Uh you know, I mean,

808
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 12: I know Lama may not be Lama, but to go

809
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 12: down there, and you know, John Highball was undefeated on

810
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 12: Thursday night at home, so uh, you know, to get

811
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 12: that one in. I think it's a last time the

812
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 12: Bengals won on the road in the division on a

813
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 12: Thursday night. They haven't played very many, but it was

814
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 12: Jeff Blake unfurled a one fifty eight and three rivers.

815
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 4: Pass right, win, right.

816
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 2: You wrote about it, it was like Joe Burrow never

817
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: left early. Shook off a little bit of rust as expected,

818
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: but man, he got rolling and he was Joe.

819
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 12: I mean you might be thinking, ah, you know, they'll uh,

820
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 12: maybe they'll put him under center hand it off a

821
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 12: little bit, maybe like that first series when he when

822
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 12: he when he did when play action did a little boot,

823
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 12: maybe a couple easy throat.

824
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 4: No way, man, he was. He was out there and

825
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 4: yeah and uh you know, yeah he was. Yeah, I

826
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: mean he was not.

827
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 12: Uh if you look at the completion percentage, you know,

828
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 12: this guy is the all time leading completion percentage leader,

829
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 12: so he wasn't near that number, but boy, he made

830
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 12: some He made some clutch throws on third down that

831
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 12: looked like he had never left, you know, the first

832
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 12: third down that Jim had the third and ten. You know,

833
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 12: of course, the two touchdown passes, both on third downs,

834
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 12: both against the Blitz and jeez, you know, I mean,

835
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 12: seventy five days, where have they gone?

836
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: The thing about him that I was really impressed with

837
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: as well, a lot everything he said, no interceptions, did

838
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: not turn the ball over. Yeah, didn't put the ball

839
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: in jeopardy, never put the ball in harm's way. I

840
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 3: mean against that defense, I mean Baltimore's defense. You know,

841
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: they can be sometimes a little tough to figure out

842
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: what are they doing. They disguise coverage is pretty darn well,

843
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: you know. And and Joe was never fooled. He never

844
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 3: he never took the hook to the belly.

845
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 5: You know.

846
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 3: He basically made his reads and read him out properly

847
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: and made great throws. I mean, that's that is the

848
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: undoing of teams against the Baltimore Ravens. They turned the

849
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 3: football over. They give the Ravens extra possessions and take

850
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: possessions away from themselves. And the Bengals and Joe Burrow

851
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 3: they refuse to do it. I mean, he's had great

852
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 3: success against Baltimore for that reason.

853
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 12: Yeah, if you know, and we saw, you know, I mean,

854
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 12: if it's December, they still must be in it.

855
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And so it's the two out.

856
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 12: And what we saw in the four to twenty five

857
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 12: game was exactly what you're talking about lap turnovers. I

858
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 12: mean that game was switched on back to back possessions

859
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 12: with the with the scoop and score and the pick right,

860
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 12: and uh, you know, now I can assure you the

861
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 12: Ravens are not going to come in here in another

862
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 12: week and turn it over five times. Absolutely, they hadn't.

863
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 12: The Bengals hadn't done that to him in like eighteen years.

864
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 12: But but you said, if Joe keeps that goose egg there, right,

865
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 12: then you know they can be in anybody if they

866
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 12: keep the goose egg. Anybody can beat anybody if you

867
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 12: have a goose egg there.

868
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's the most important stat in

869
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 3: the NFL, turnovers. And if you don't turn the football over,

870
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: if you're if you're clean in that department, you have

871
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 3: a hell of a chance of winning a lot of games. Yeah.

872
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 4: Well, if you look, I'm sorry, go ahead.

873
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 12: No, I was just gonna say, uh this, Zach and

874
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 12: Joe have been very successful in December Joe's ten and three,

875
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 12: and you know it, it's directly relatable with to what

876
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 12: you said the turnovers, you know, and it's uh, you

877
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 12: know what is it is because they're in sync. They've

878
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 12: gotten all the kinks out.

879
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 3: Now.

880
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 4: Granted he hasn't played.

881
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 12: So maybe it's unfair to match him against those other

882
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 12: Decembers because he's been playing.

883
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

884
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 12: I mean, it's like he said the other night, he goes, well,

885
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 12: he goes, I had been I did have all a

886
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 12: training camp, yeah, you know, and so I mean, uh,

887
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 12: you know, if if I mean, if he comes close

888
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 12: to what he's done in in this December, you know,

889
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 12: they do have a shot to run the table.

890
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: So many different guys made plays. I always look at

891
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 2: my sheet at the end of the game and I

892
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: see a whole bunch of names listed that that that's

893
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: usually a good thing because I'm writing down positives and Tanner,

894
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: Hudson and Joe's alluded to it. Just the trust he

895
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: has in Tanner and what they've developed, and and he

896
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: gets rewarded with a spectacular one hand catch.

897
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 12: You know, your Facebook posts are great. That's close as

898
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 12: I get to social media, which is still which is

899
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 12: still too close. I should be wearing a you know,

900
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 12: I should be wearing a vest. But uh well, you

901
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 12: know you always write your thoughts on a right after,

902
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 12: and it's and it's almost always right around with one

903
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 12: of them, you know, thinking. And so the Hudson thing,

904
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 12: I'm thinking, you know, I'm looking here in this end

905
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 12: zone and it does it seems like two weeks ago

906
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 12: that he went to.

907
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 4: Hudson for the two pointer. Yeah right, you know, and

908
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 4: then that's how much he trusts him.

909
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 12: The game was, I mean, he had just threw a

910
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 12: great ball to Jama with two guys hanging on for

911
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 12: the touchdown, but Boomy went to Tanner in that moment.

912
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 4: Now, it didn't work.

913
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 12: Probably could probably should have had another snap because he

914
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 12: tore his head off, right, but uh, you know, and

915
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 12: that was that was the biggest you can make that argument.

916
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: That was the biggest play of the game. It was

917
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 4: twelve seven and boom he made it. Yes, nineteen seven

918
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 4: thirty nine.

919
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 12: They're that close to kicking another field goal, right right,

920
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 12: you know, So that was you know, Hudson's this guy,

921
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 12: I'll tell you.

922
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: You look at it, and Joe loves to throw the

923
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: tight end I mean he loves that position group and

924
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 3: he's got goot guys that can catch the football, can

925
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: run routes and catch the football.

926
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 6: Man.

927
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Kaziki's almost like a big slot receiver, you know,

928
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 3: the way he runs routes and his ability to get

929
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: real strong hands, you know, catch it and tuck it

930
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 3: away and keep it out of harm's way. He's not

931
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 3: gonna spit the bit and give the football away. Uh

932
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: you know. I mean Tanner Hudson, he's he's legit. I mean,

933
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: he runs as good a route and that's what Joe

934
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: I remember talking to him in training camp. He said,

935
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 3: this guy runs routes as crisp and cleanly as any

936
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 3: tight end that I've worked with. And the big word

937
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: is trust. He trusts Tanner Hudson. He trusts Tanner Hudson's

938
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 3: going to be where he's supposed to be when he's

939
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 3: supposed to be there, and if it's catchable football, he's

940
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: going to make the catch.

941
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting.

942
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 12: I was going to see what would he do, how

943
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 12: would he respond intensely because he intentionally made a great

944
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 12: move on I think it was Humphrey. I want I

945
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 12: want to say it was Marlon hump yeh. And there

946
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 12: was a major league move on a Pro Bowl corner

947
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 12: and he stopped. I think that's six, right if Tinsley

948
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 12: keeps going right. But you know what, Joe kept going

949
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 12: to him, which I thought that was a big sign

950
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 12: for the young fella, because you know, Joe, he's not

951
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 12: gonna if you're not you know, if he's not doing

952
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 12: what you expect, goodbye, Yeah, you know what I mean.

953
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 12: And he but he went right back to Ye.

954
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 3: He didn't want anybody freelance. No, he didn't want anybody

955
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 3: doing something that's not you know, supposed to be done.

956
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 3: But he went right back to you know what. You know,

957
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: he went back to which that good.

958
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

959
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: Anybody who knows Jeff Hobson knows you like to run

960
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 2: the football. And over the last six weeks, Chase Brown

961
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: six consecutive one hundred yards plus from scrimmage. In those

962
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: six games, he's rushed for five hundred and two almost

963
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 2: seven yards of carry and Jeff, he's now on pace

964
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 2: for over fourteen hundred total yards from scrimmage this season.

965
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 12: You know, I think maybe lap you and I were

966
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 12: talking about this, the first Bengal to go six in

967
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 12: a Row. You know, AJ Green didn't do that, Corey

968
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 12: Dylan Dune didn't do that, or James Brooks or Jamack Chase.

969
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 12: I mean, wow, yeah, you know, he kind of snuck

970
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 12: that in there. But I think in lap would could

971
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 12: you know, I would certainly yield the floor to.

972
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: H to lap On.

973
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 4: This is I think the offensive line is.

974
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 12: I think the rookie gads and now the last couple

975
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 12: of games they've been going with rising because you know,

976
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 12: because Jalen Rivers has been hurt, but fair Child and

977
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 12: I mean, I you know, they've been talking about this

978
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 12: duo play that I think is really I think they've

979
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 12: struck goal of that, which is basically a double team, right,

980
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 12: and and they get to the second level and there

981
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 12: you know that means your Gads and Teddy.

982
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 4: I think Teddy's having a good year.

983
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean people want to you know, they've you know,

984
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 12: they've uh some people want to say, well, Teddy's turning.

985
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 12: I think he's playing as well as probably as he

986
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 12: played last year, right, and he played pretty good. So

987
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 12: I think the interior I think that's been you know,

988
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 12: I think the young guy I think I think the

989
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 12: rookie guards have been good the guy.

990
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 3: The guy that I in Bengal history, the running back

991
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: that I compare Brown to, the Chase Brown to is

992
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: Essex Johnson express about the same height Essex, like five

993
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 3: to nine over two hundred pounds, you know, quick change

994
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 3: of direction, guys. Really, I mean Essex could have played

995
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 3: played slot receiver, and I think Chase Brown could too

996
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 3: play slot receiver. You know, the way they run routes

997
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 3: and everything, and great red zone weapons, low red zone weapons.

998
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 3: I think I think there's a there's a correlation there

999
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: between those that just two guys.

1000
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 12: You know, it's interesting, you know the last game they

1001
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 12: played before you join the organization. If I'm not mistaken,

1002
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 12: I think Essex Johnson suffered a devastating knee injinet in

1003
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 12: that playoff game against Miami, right, and that led to

1004
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 12: the Issac Curtis rule, because I think, I I think,

1005
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 12: if I'm not mistaken, I think Essex went down early,

1006
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 12: maybe in the first series, and so you know, what

1007
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 12: was there to do but to go to Curtis and

1008
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 12: Joyna right and Trumpy and they just malls Curtis because

1009
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 12: they couldn't hand it off to Essex, right, you know.

1010
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean that's a that's a guy we

1011
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 12: probably don't talk about enough.

1012
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Essex express Man, that that was his nickname, and

1013
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: that dude, he was a Player's.

1014
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: Take a time out to continue more to get to

1023
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: the defense out of this which forces five turnovers, and

1024
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: talking about guys that show up on a sheet where

1025
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: you're making notes. Let's start with Miles Murphy, who I

1026
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 2: know there was there's been frustration and wait of is

1027
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: it going to kick in? When is it going to

1028
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: kick in? Seems like it's kicking in. Miles Murphy is

1029
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: on a roll.

1030
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 12: You know left you know this every time he talked

1031
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 12: to Miles, he always talks about being violent.

1032
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, about being violent.

1033
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 12: He was violent the other night, I thought, you know,

1034
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 12: and it's when you play them, when you play Baltimore,

1035
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 12: it's so important to set the h you know, because

1036
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 12: Lama will just even if Lami is not Lami.

1037
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 4: They'll still they'll still kill you. Yeah, he'll still kill

1038
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 4: you with that run game.

1039
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 3: No doubt. And uh talk to him in the locker

1040
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 3: room after the game, and he was uh quick to

1041
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 3: credit BJ Hill for his effort. They ran a lot

1042
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 3: of twists and stunts on pass rush, and uh, he

1043
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: came clean a couple of times. BJ did a good

1044
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: job of grabbing two guys and and Miles Murphy came

1045
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: clean and you know, made some plays, got some hits

1046
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: on the quarterback. I like the kid though. The kid's

1047
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 3: very smart. He's very recollective. Yeah, very very uh very

1048
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean he's uh not introverted, that's not the right

1049
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 3: word for it, but very introspective. I guess something like that.

1050
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 3: He's he's one of those one of those kind of

1051
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: guys that's a deep thinker kind of guy for you know,

1052
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 3: as people say, for a football player, man, you're a

1053
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 3: pretty deep thinker, you know, I.

1054
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 4: Tell you know, what a guy.

1055
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 12: I've a I've always loved those because I just think

1056
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 12: he's all out. He's just a football player, athlete and

1057
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 12: and and he's just been hurt by the injury. But

1058
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 12: if you know, if you guys remember in twenty twenty two,

1059
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 12: he had a great run in the last stretch of

1060
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 12: twenty twenty two and everybody wants to remember they hit

1061
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 12: on Mahomes. Well, I remember that series. They were third

1062
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 12: and five because of josephos right on that because he

1063
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 12: made so many he made many big plays in that game.

1064
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 12: And unfortunately that last play. I mean, she said, I

1065
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 12: don't mind him trying to tackle Patrick Mahomes. I mean

1066
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 12: he's running down the sideline with my with my playoff bonus, right,

1067
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 12: you know what I mean, Please please please chase them down, right,

1068
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 12: you know what I mean. So I don't know, I

1069
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 12: still don't understand that hit. But maybe I'm a little

1070
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 12: bit too personal.

1071
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: But let me agree.

1072
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 12: Let me ask you this lab about the defense, and

1073
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 12: I I mean, I thought the last two weeks, I

1074
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 12: thought they put Drake May. I thought they did a

1075
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 12: good job with pressure on Drake May. And I thought

1076
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 12: they really did a good job. Obviously, pressure led to

1077
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 12: it like two or three of the turnovers. Yeah, so

1078
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 12: you know, so they had been I think they were

1079
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 12: they had had the fewest the lowest flits percentage. I

1080
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 12: think I think Al's gonna I mean, I thought, yeah, yeah,

1081
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 12: I thought they might have let Drake Mayo off the

1082
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 12: hook a little bit. I think they could have, uh,

1083
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 12: because they blitzed him, well, I thought. And then I

1084
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 12: thought they really came up big. I mean, I you know,

1085
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 12: I salute Al because I think he's he's you know,

1086
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 12: he's been getting a lot of heat.

1087
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 4: But you know, I think Zach said this kind of

1088
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 4: alluded to this Friday that you know a lot of

1089
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 4: young guys out there. Yeah, and you know it's not

1090
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 4: you can't just come out blitz them with these.

1091
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 2: Guys, right, you know that was gonna be my question.

1092
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: Are they blitzing more out of necessity or is it

1093
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 2: more because there's a better understanding of what they want?

1094
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: Or is it a combination of both.

1095
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 3: Probably I think it's a combination. Yeah, I mean, I

1096
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 3: think I think that you know, Al Golden, Al Goldon

1097
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 3: is a smart cat man. He is He's got his

1098
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 3: doctorate in defense and and uh, and he has a

1099
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 3: he has a way of teaching a methodology, you know,

1100
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 3: and uh, particularly with young guys, you know, he doesn't

1101
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 3: want to speed the process up too much, you know.

1102
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 3: And I think I think we're going to see a

1103
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: lot more blitzing, a lot more creative looks in the

1104
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 3: blitz packages as the season wears on here. Uh that's uh,

1105
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 3: that's kind of an m O with l Golden.

1106
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, because I mean they got the I think they

1107
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 12: have the corners that can cover even without camp Taylor Britd.

1108
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 4: I think Dax Hill and.

1109
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 3: DJ Turner's having a hell of a year. Man. DJ

1110
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 3: Turner and Dax Hill, both both those guys are as

1111
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 3: good open field tacklers as I've seen this year in

1112
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 3: the league. They get people on the ground, man, they

1113
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: really do the job.

1114
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 12: Skinny made an interesting but Richard Skinner we were talking

1115
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 12: about DJ Turner and he says he's got to the

1116
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 12: point now where if somebody makes a catch on him,

1117
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 12: you're looking for yea. And it has been the last

1118
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 12: two times like it's been a big play, it's been

1119
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 12: offensive as an affair, he's been really good.

1120
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1121
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we shouldn't leave Jordan battle out, who hustled

1122
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: back on the play, knocks it away. That's going to

1123
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 2: be a touchdown, right, and suddenly it's Bengals football.

1124
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I guess, I guess. I guess that will end

1125
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 12: all conversation about character and all that stuff.

1126
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean, there's no substitute for hustle, many hustle, energy, enthusiasm,

1127
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 3: all those intangibles.

1128
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 4: That's gonna be a lot.

1129
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 12: I'm sure it's on Zach's tape to show the players,

1130
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 12: and it should be on every and greater, every greater

1131
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 12: Cincinnati High school football coaches tape that Jordan Battle.

1132
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you use the word energy, and I want to

1133
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: apply it to Joe, And I was struck by can't

1134
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 2: remember if Orlando said it to you or one of

1135
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 2: the other writers. How Joe is the engine of this

1136
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 2: team and there is clearly a a lifting and an

1137
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 2: energy like a plug in a socket into the wall,

1138
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: like now we go, Joe is here with this team.

1139
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's just that's it's it's always been

1140
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 4: that way.

1141
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 12: Was that way when he showed up in COVID and

1142
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 12: nobody knew what was going on, but you knew that

1143
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,959
Speaker 12: that guy was something special, even though everybody was wearing

1144
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 12: masks and kind of on eggshells, that guy, and he's

1145
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 12: been he's been special ever since. And I thought, uh,

1146
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 12: you know, you guys heard him. I thought he was

1147
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 12: really that's about as emotional as I've ever seen.

1148
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: Walking about that absolutely.

1149
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that was that was interesting to me,

1150
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 12: you know, and that and to me, that's the difference

1151
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 12: between maybe Joe Burrow, who turns twenty nine next week,

1152
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 12: if that's at all possible, opposed to a Joe Burrow

1153
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 12: who was maybe you know, twenty three, twenty four. You live,

1154
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 12: you know, things mean more to you, mean more to

1155
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 12: you as you get older. And that's I think that

1156
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 12: goes for all of us alive.

1157
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, father time keeps ticking on, man, the stand keeps

1158
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 3: coming out of the whatever the hell.

1159
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 12: It's just interesting to see how much we've seen him, Yeah,

1160
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 12: seen him, you know, even though I mean he keeps things,

1161
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 12: you know, talk about a guy, he keeps things close

1162
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 12: to them, no doubt. And who's an but who's an

1163
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 12: introspective guy. Yeah, you know, but you know he's letting us,

1164
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 12: he's let us watch them grow.

1165
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 3: Yep, no question, you wrote about it.

1166
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about it and I want

1167
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: to give him some love because we're going to hear

1168
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: him get a game ball later on in the the

1169
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 2: third hour. Tell listeners they may have heard the name

1170
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 2: Jeff Brickner. Tell listeners who he is and the role

1171
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 2: he played in Salvaging Wednesday Night.

1172
00:54:58,760 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 4: Jeff Brickner does it all.

1173
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 12: He's like, he's like an astronaut on a spacewalk, but

1174
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 12: twenty four but twenty four to seven. He does everything

1175
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 12: you can ask. I mean from you know, fixing my

1176
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 12: desk draw, getting somebody, getting somebody to fish my dest draw,

1177
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 12: to get these guys to Baltimore time and everything in between.

1178
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 12: And a Jeff Brickner trip usually right to the itinerary,

1179
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 12: right to the minute. You know, well, this was not

1180
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 12: this was not this was uh we've all been he

1181
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 12: could right, no, no, and and and and the thing

1182
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 12: was what he had waiting back when he had waiting

1183
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 12: in Baltimore was a Thanksgiving feast that would make Miles

1184
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 12: Standish crush, right. I mean it was amazing and he

1185
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 12: couldn't get there, and he couldn't but he get everybody.

1186
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 12: But he get everybody there, you know, uh, complete complete

1187
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 12: with a Zach Taylor boarding announcement.

1188
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah and uh.

1189
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll be boarding there. But Hobson co

1190
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 12: goes in last. But I think what happened was the

1191
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 12: uh you know, we everybody get to the hotel, and

1192
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 12: it was, uh it was it was as good brick

1193
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 12: could make it, as good as a good bea.

1194
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 4: So I think the game ball is a salute to

1195
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 4: you know, his body of work.

1196
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 3: And that you know, uh body works a good way

1197
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 3: to put it because he will not Initially he was

1198
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 3: an assistant trainer. He was taking ankles. Yes, I mean

1199
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 3: the guy was basically uh Marv Pollin's guy that was

1200
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 3: was as lackey.

1201
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 6: You know.

1202
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 3: It's like he's like, I'm gonna give you all the

1203
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 3: crap jobs to do, and you're gonna do him. You're

1204
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 3: gonna do a smile on your face. He's he's done everything.

1205
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's drained the hot tubs, he's you

1206
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: name it, he's he's done it all. And uh, nobody

1207
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 3: knows more about the inner workings of the organization than

1208
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,439
Speaker 3: Jeff Brickner because he's he's been in meetings with Mike

1209
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 3: and uh the Blackburn and Brown family that nobody has

1210
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 3: been in and and things have been talked about that

1211
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 3: nobody else is part of other than you know, Brick's

1212
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 3: the only one outside of the immediate family, the blood

1213
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 3: related family that's part of that.

1214
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 12: I mean, he and Micah and Mike close. I mean

1217
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 12: Mike's gets on the bus safely every single week. That

1218
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 12: he looks at that as one of his prime responsibilities,

1219
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 12: to make sure that Mike Brown is okay and traveling

1220
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 12: safely to and from uh the the airport in the stadium, Bengals.

1221
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 2: So explain to me what what happened. I can't imagine.

1222
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 2: It's mechanical issues and it's five and a half hours

1223
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,439
Speaker 2: sitting on the plane. I would have lost my mind.

1224
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 2: How do you sit on a plane five and a

1225
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 2: half hours?

1226
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 4: I mean I'm terrible. Yeah, I mean I worked, so

1227
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 4: I was I had an out.

1228
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1229
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 4: In fact, Browning, Jake Browning came down. Jake Browne was

1230
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 4: making it. He was almost like the host.

1231
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 3: It was like the mayor, the mayor of the flight.

1232
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 12: He's coming in checking on uh. Yeah, kind of watched

1233
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 12: me typing and scowled, but uh, you know it was Yeah.

1234
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know what guys did. I guess

1235
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 12: that would have been a good opportunity for me to

1236
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 12: but I figured guys, I just figured guys weren't probably

1237
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 12: in a good root.

1238
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I know, I know a lot of that.

1239
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 3: I went back to take a leak at one point,

1240
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 3: and everybody was watching their movies, you know. Yeah, I

1241
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 3: mean there those those movies on those flights are pretty impressive.

1242
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 12: It's not like getting marooned in nineteen seventy three. People

1243
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 12: had things to do, right, and I, uh, you know,

1244
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 12: they don't want to see me anyway, So I would

1245
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 12: imagine in a close quarters for five hours, I just.

1246
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 4: I kept a little profile.

1247
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,439
Speaker 12: But everybody, like, you know, Zach made a good point,

1248
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 12: it was a good time to probably it was a

1249
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 12: good bonding thing, good bonding. Yeah, And he made an

1250
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 12: interesting point like like I said, Brick had that miles

1251
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 12: Standish feast and uh it was tremendous, and but everybody

1252
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 12: instead of putting it in a box and going up

1253
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 12: going upstairs to their rooms, they all stay right, Yeah,

1254
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 12: more bonding.

1255
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, which was which was?

1256
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 3: I think?

1257
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 6: You know?

1258
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 4: I think, uh a lot of guys would have you know.

1259
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 3: I think possibly as if it turns out that way,

1260
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 3: if the Bengals do make the playoffs, they're going to

1261
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 3: point back to this and say this was the turning

1262
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 3: point and could have fallen apart, could have had, you know,

1263
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 3: major problems, major issues. But guys, you know, showed some maturity,

1264
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 3: showed some growth, and and won that football game in

1265
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: spite of all the obstacles, went out and played a

1266
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 3: hell of a game, maybe their best game of the year,

1267
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 3: and from that point on they were hell on wheels,

1268
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 3: tough to deal with. All Right, we need to take

1269
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 3: a time out.

1270
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,600

1295
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 12: a great thrill to you know, be a factor and

1296
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 12: you know, seeing who goes who goes in, and who doesn't,

1297
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 12: and it's uh take it with uh, you know, the

1298
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 12: most important you know, besides working for the Bengals every day.

1299
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 4: It's the most important thing I've done in my career.

1300
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 12: And uh, you know, it's a it's interesting because serving

1301
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 12: on you know, you serve with you know, you serve

1302
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 12: with different people on the committee, and every everybody's does

1303
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 12: great research, you know, and you learn so much when

1304
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 12: you go in these things. And I think the Keith

1305
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 12: thing is having the open mind, and uh, you know,

1306
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 12: I think, uh, you know, it's uh obviously I think

1307
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 12: all you know, probably all Hall of Fames get criticized

1308
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 12: if you're guys not in, you know. I mean, I know,

1309
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 12: as a Red Sox fan, when's Louis Tiant going to

1310
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 12: get in, right, you know? So but I'm it's I'm

1311
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 12: blessed to be able to do it. And I think,

1312
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 12: I think, what's happened I think, you know, I think

1313
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 12: in the last decade, I think with the help of

1314
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 12: Jim Foster, guys like yourself, guys like lap I think

1315
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 12: I've probably helped a little bit.

1316
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 4: But to give, you know, to.

1317
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 12: Show to the country that we, you know, profile raised.

1318
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 12: I think the profile of the great Bengals players I

1319
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 12: think has been raised.

1320
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 4: And I think that's a good thing, whether they get

1321
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 4: in or not.

1322
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 12: I mean, I think, uh, I think what I think

1323
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 12: what Elizabeth Blackburn has done here with the Ring of

1324
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 12: Honor has helped has helped raise that profile us and uh,

1325
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 12: you know used you know, I think it's you know,

1326
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 12: guys like Ken Anderson and Willie Anderson when they're up

1327

01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,040

Speaker 12: him on the phone, I said, you know what I says, unbelievable.

1344
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 12: I'm talking to Ron Bosch.

1345
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 4: You know, you'd say, you know, pretty high boiled guy.

1346
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 4: Stop it, Hobby.

1347
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 12: But you know it's it's I think it's uh, you know,

1348
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 12: I don't know it's uh. Ron Boys just would say

1349
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 12: in that senior committee, they're a Hall of Famer. When

1350
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 12: you're making the moves of cutting guys, hall of Famers

1351
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 12: are just falling on the floor, and everybody's worthy, everybody's

1352
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 12: worthy exactly.

1353
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 2: That senior committee includes the the the nine r Kenny

1354
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 2: Anderson is one of the nine, and the expectation is,

1355
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 2: at least, reading the Hall of Fame website, the announcement

1356
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 2: could come, should come this week and we'll find out

1357
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 2: if Kenny advances to the next day. Is a final list,

1358
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 2: I believe terminology.

1359
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 3: The final five three.

1360
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 12: Goes nine to three committee on the and they will

1361
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 12: join those three will join seventeen others on the finals ballot.

1362
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 12: There'll be three SoRs, one coach nominee, and one contributor,

1363
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 12: and then there'll be fifteen modern era finals.

1364
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 2: Including potentially Williams.

1365
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 12: Not potentially he is he will he is a finalist

1366
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 12: automatically because he finished in the UH top seven last year,

1367
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 12: which is a new which is a new voting procedure.

1368
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 3: To figure craft and Belichick will be the odds on

1369
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 3: guys and then.

1370
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 12: Who knows, you know, who knows? I think it's just

1371
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:51,919
Speaker 12: it's you know, uh, like I said, three H three,

1372
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 12: I believe it's three out of the uh three from

1373
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 12: the UH from the coaching tributors, coaching contributors and seniors.

1374
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 12: Three can come out of there. So it's uh, you know,

1375
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 12: it's it's they made it tough for the last couple

1376
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 12: of years to get in. I think I think that's

1377
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 12: what the Hall wanted to do. And that's who really

1378
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 12: is is it's uh, the Hall of Fame and and.

1379
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 4: The Board of Trustees. You know, we're really uh, you know,

1380
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 4: we we serve at their pleasure.

1381
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 2: Now I've heard this in the past, and I don't

1382
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 2: know where this is in the process or if you're

1383
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 2: still involved with it, but for each candidate, does someone

1384
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 2: act as a presenter in the room for their case?

1385
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 4: Does that happen?

1386
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 12: There's a yeah, there's a presenter that still happens, and

1387
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 12: and and it's a five minute presentation. And there's debate,

1388
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 12: and there's and there's debate, and I, like I say,

1389
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 12: I think it's a all these guys take it so seriously.

1390
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 12: The men and women on the committees that I've been

1391
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 12: on and it's a it's it's a very deliberative process

1392
01:05:55,800 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 12: and debates are amazing, and it's uh, you know, it's

1393
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 12: uh as many ways to skin a cap. But I

1394
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 12: think that's about as good as it I think that's

1395
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 12: about as good as it gets.

1396
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 5: I think.

1397
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 12: So, I mean, it's all these guys should be in,

1398
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 12: you know what I mean, it's and but that's why

1399
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 12: it's a Hall of Fame, right, and you know, my

1400
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 12: my thing is is and Paul Daners says, this will

1401
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 12: probably be on my tombstone, which is is in the

1402
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 12: Hall of Fame. We have too many uh uh, very

1403
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 12: good players on great teams in there and not enough

1404
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 12: great players Hall of Fame players on bad teams or

1405
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 12: or it's not even bad teams that didn't win a

1406
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 12: Super Bowl, right, And I understand it because these guys

1407
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 12: are and I understand because I talked to a lot

1408
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 12: of guys. We'll say, well, you know this guy was

1409
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 12: he was on teams at one but like my agument

1410
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 12: for Kenny is he was the reason they were there,

1411
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 12: you know, a major the major reason they.

1412
01:06:59,160 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 4: Were there, no doubt.

1413
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 12: So I mean, but obviously guys like guyas that and

1414
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 12: you know, I mean guys like I just Isaac and

1415
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 12: Lamiro and Kenny Riley obviously were his teammates, but Kenny

1416
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 12: was a quarterback sure, so uh, you know, but that's

1417
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 12: my thing is that's another reason I'm glad to see

1418
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 12: the profile raise, not only of the Bengals, but for

1419
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 12: you know, teams that are in small markets don't maybe

1420
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 12: don't have a string of Super Bowl champions. You know,

1421
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 12: their players are just as good as you know, I mean, uh,

1422
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 12: what's been out there. And I think Kenny Riley and

1423
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 12: the you know, I mean, you know, statistically, Kenny Riley

1424
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 12: should have been in five years after he retired.

1425
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 3: I just wish, like a lot of people do, I

1426
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 3: just wish we had won a super Bowl for him

1427
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 3: if he if he if Kenny Anderson had a super

1428
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 3: Bowl on that resume, I think that would be the

1429
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 3: cherry on top.

1430
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 6: You know.

1431
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,479
Speaker 3: I think I think he'd be you know, and maybe

1432
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm over simplifying it, but I think I think a

1433
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 3: super Bowl champion. You know, Dan Foulson never won, and

1434
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 3: he got in. I mean, there's exceptions rerule, but you know,

1435
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 3: he he was. He broke every record in every passing

1436
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 3: category there is known demand with the Air Corriel. I

1437
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 3: mean it was different, a different deal. But I'm telling you, man,

1438
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 3: Kenny Anderson, as good as there ever was is accurate.

1439
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 3: I mean that was the thing with him. His accuracy

1440
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 3: was stupid good.

1441
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 6: You know.

1442
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 3: I remember him in the off season.

1443
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 14: Uh.

1444
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 3: He would say, all right, get thirty yards away from me.

1445
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 3: We're gonna play a little catch.

1446
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 15: You know.

1447
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 3: All right now, now that I warm my arm up

1448
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 3: a little bit, I'm loose right naval, right shoulder, left knee.

1449
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 3: It's like, what the hell unbelievable how he could control

1450
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 3: a football and how accurate he was doing a football.

1451
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 12: The only guy to win uh to uh, the only

1452
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 12: guy to win two playoff games on two different planets

1453
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:52,759
Speaker 12: uh obviously Earth and then the AFC title game the Freezable.

1454
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 12: I don't know what planet that day. I guess it's hot,

1455
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 12: right would that be? But uh, I know I know

1456

1473
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 2: to it after all the travel adventures on on Wednesday,

1474
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 2: the Thanksgiving meal in the ballroom, and the players could

1475
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 2: have taken their meals gone to their rooms, but they

1476
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: hung out together. And I heard you and Wayne box

1477
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 2: Miller on Friday talking about how Box looked in the

1478
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 2: lunch cafeteria the other day and there was a group

1479
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 2: of players from different position groups hanging out together, and

1480
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 2: just the value of the cohesiveness of this team and

1481
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 2: how it's probably helped them navigate a lot of adversity

1482
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 2: this season.

1483
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right, no question about it. You know,

1484
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 3: it's uh, pro sports or sports in general. It's it's

1485
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 3: conducive to that sort of thing. It's conducive to that

1486
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 3: kind of bonding and those kind of friendships, a family

1487
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 3: atmosphere that you know will never go away, those bonds

1488
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 3: will never be broken. Uh and uh ten fifteen, twenty

1489
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 3: years when you're after finished planning, you remember that. Remember

1490
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 3: that Thanksgiving?

1491
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 2: We were like five hours?

1492
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are we gonna do? Five hours? It's like

1493
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 3: we sat around, we talked about everything and anything and nothing,

1494
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 3: you know, nothing at all. And uh, and you know,

1495
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 3: I really got to know. I'm so so it was

1496
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 3: a pretty good guy man, you know, and wanted to

1497
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 3: ended up wanting to spend more time with that guy.

1498
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 3: And you know, he's got a wife and he's got kids,

1499
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 3: and I've got wife and kids, and we all ended

1500
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 3: up doing some things together, and our kids learned about

1501
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 3: Cincinnati together. They went to the Cincinnati zo they went

1502
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 3: to the aquarium, They went to all these different places together,

1503
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 3: you know.

1504
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 2: And I think you referred to it on Friday as

1505
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 2: the cross pollination of your time.

1506
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it really and that that's exactly the word

1507
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 3: that Paul Brown used when I mean back, Like in

1508
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy four rookie year, it was like, we are

1509
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 3: we are gonna be a family, We are going to

1510
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 3: be a close football team. We are gonna have the

1511
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 3: other gentleman's back, the guy that you're playing next to,

1512
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 3: You're gonna have his back, He's going to have your back.

1513
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 3: And it was it was. It was a close knit group,

1514
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 3: There's no doubt. And Paul Brown knew what he was doing.

1515
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 3: He knew what he was talking about. Even Otto Graham

1516
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 3: and the great, the great players with the Cleveland Browns.

1517
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 3: He said, those guys were family and they were at

1518
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 3: their kids in great kids' weddings, you know, and unfortunately

1519
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 3: in some cases funerals, And you know, it's it's a

1520
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 3: cycle of life, is what it is, no question.

1572
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 4: Is there any.

1573
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 11: Consideration to put him on I r no, We'll just

1574
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 11: keep taking a week to week.

1575
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 9: He's still doing all the normal meetings everything behind the scenes.

1576
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 11: That mostly rehab, so with the trainers.

1577
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 9: You had just been getting him back at all of

1578
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 9: this season.

1579
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, we'll just keep taking a week to week.

1580
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 9: What was the South scout like over the by? What

1581
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 9: was the what did over the weekend?

1582
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 18: I guess what did you guys want to accomplish as

1583
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 18: y'all get ready for the next game.

1584
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 16: Just get ahead for Buffalo really, I mean, got a

1585
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 16: chance for review our game. Just make sure we got

1586
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 16: them obviously in two weeks, so you want to make

1587
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:25,679
Speaker 16: sure you put that to bed the right way because

1588
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 16: it's a quick turnaround for them, and then just you know,

1589
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 16: steal an extra time for Buffaloe, which I thought we did.

1590
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 16: It's good you got a chance to watching football yesterday

1591
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 16: while you're working.

1592
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 11: And it's good.

1593
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 9: How did Joe come through the weekend.

1594
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 16: Seemingly fine? I'm sure there's some soreness there that you know.

1595
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 16: I'm sure you guys can ask him, but to my iPhone.

1596
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 11: One day.

1597
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 18: At the start of the season, Dalton Riisner was playing

1598
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 18: to the point where you ended up going with Jalen Rivers.

1599
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 9: But it felt like Sinstallton's come back. He's you know,

1600
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 9: played even better than he has earlier in the year.

1601
01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 9: What have you seen from him the last couple of weeks.

1602
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 16: You know, when we got him, he hadn't done anything,

1603
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 16: you know, for six months, so I think that was

1604
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 16: a little bit to be expected. But I've liked how

1605
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 16: he's played, the energy's played with. I think we've got

1606
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 16: a good mix of guys in there, you know, even

1607
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 16: guys that are you know, been injured and have been backups,

1608
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 16: and so I feel really good about our starters or

1609
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 16: depth and and just where we're at at this point

1610
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 16: the season out on.

1611
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 9: Line, What have you seen from Fairchild twelve games through?

1612
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 16: Yeah, just continues to progress and get better and sees

1613
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 16: new looks and does a good job taking the coaching

1614
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 16: from Scott and Mike and Ted and Orlando and those

1615
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 16: around him, and just continues to progress.

1616
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 11: And so that's been really pleasant to see.

1617
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 19: There's an old adage when you get around this time

1618
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 19: of the year where people say rookies aren't rookies anymore.

1619
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 5: Win in your mind as a guy no longer a.

1620
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 16: Rook Yeah, I think, you know, at the midpoint of

1621
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 16: the year, you really want them to progress through that

1622
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 16: There's still going to be things that they're learning. It's

1623
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 16: a it's a fun thing to say, but you know,

1624
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 16: you can't replicate experience, and so they got to continue

1625
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 16: to get that experience. And especially for a lot of guys,

1626
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 16: maybe that didn't start right away once the season went,

1627
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 16: you know, and their playing time has increased as has gone.

1628
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 16: So I think everybody's a little differently. Depends on the

1629
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 16: position you're playing, depends on the experience you're gaining. But

1630
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 16: I really like how all of our rookies are progressing.

1631
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 16: I think that they're all doing a nice job of

1632
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 16: learning and not making repeat mistakes and have an ownership

1633
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 16: their position and adding value to our team.

1634
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 20: Specifically in xact with Barrett Carter, what have you liked

1635
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,959
Speaker 20: about the way he's embrace that moles everything that comes.

1636
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 16: With Yeah, his command with the position, you know, it's

1637
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 16: a vocal position to have the green dot and be

1638
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 16: able to communicate like he has and just continue to progress,

1639
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 16: you know, I mean I can't think of how many

1640
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 16: games he started now, you know, six maybe six games,

1641
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 16: and so just continue and learn, and that's where he's going.

1642
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 9: Of course, just going back to Joe's touchdown pass.

1643
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 11: And yeah, just thoughts on that and also just as kind.

1644
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:53,560
Speaker 9: Of astical those two guys seem to have you know,

1645
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 9: since the minute.

1646
01:17:55,200 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 16: You know, yeah, I think it was, you know, that

1647
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 16: was That's a play we we've had him for for

1648
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 16: a while now, and Joe really did a good job

1649
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 16: buying some time outside the pocket. Because it's a longer

1650
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 16: developing play. It can it can unfold two ways. You

1651
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 16: can either win right out of the break because they've

1652
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 16: had poor eyes in the backfield.

1653
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 11: Hamilton did not have poor eyes.

1654
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 16: You know, he did a good job stating and face

1655
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 16: and Joe really put it the only spot that Tanner

1656
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 16: could have caught that ball, and Tanner could have only

1657
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 16: caught that ball one handed base on where Hamilton was at,

1658
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 16: and it was really good coverage and just outstanding throw,

1659
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 16: outstanding catch, huge for a momentum at that point.

1660
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 11: So it was a really big point in that game.

1661
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 16: Was there's no question, Yeah, I mean it's it's he's

1662
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 16: not standing player, you know, he's I wouldn't even call

1663
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,560
Speaker 16: him the safety really, he's he plays linebacker and d

1664
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 16: N and covers people and whatever you want to That's

1665
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 16: a true Swiss arm knife to me. Uh So, again,

1666
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 16: it was a great play versus a great player and

1667
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 16: something we really needed at that point.

1668
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 14: As of me defensively in recent weeks, how much of

1669
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 14: it do you think kind of just stems directly back

1670
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 14: to just seeing more pressure from some of your young

1671
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 14: defensive linemen at this point.

1672
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 9: Is that kind of the biggest difference that you think

1673
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 9: you've seen.

1674
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 16: I think it helps everybody's just starting to really settle

1675
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 16: into their position as they get more playing time and

1676
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 16: more confidence in the scheme and playing next to guys,

1677
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 16: and you just see all eleven guys all at once

1678
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,560
Speaker 16: really just step into it and have great ownership and

1679
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 16: what we're asking to do, and confidence to go in

1680
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 16: there and make plays, confidence to go win some one

1681
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 16: on ones up front and apply pressure. And once you

1682
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 16: start doing that a couple of times, sorry, I'm going

1683
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 16: to continue to do this, and and then the takeaways

1684
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 16: start coming too. So again it's it's fun to watch

1685
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 16: those guys have fun, play with confidence.

1686
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 11: That's exciting for me.

1687
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 14: To see a guy like Miles chasing down Derek Henry

1688
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:49,719
Speaker 14: forty yards down the field.

1689
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 16: Tell you about where he's at his passion for the game.

1690
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 16: I mean, he's made of the right stuff, and he's

1691
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 16: continued to work every day. He's been in here all season,

1692
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 16: and you know, it's it's I'm really excited for Miles

1693
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 16: to see all that hard work start to pay off

1694
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 16: and the consistency come and it's been a really good

1695
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 16: He's and easy got to pull for, and so it's

1696
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 16: it's exciting to see him make some plays like that. Ever,

1697
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 16: plays too are huge. You know, that's even though it's

1698
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 16: way down the field. It's our team sees that in

1699
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 16: the film. They see all that stuff, guys really putting

1700
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 16: all out there, and he did that. Jordan Battle had

1701
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 16: the one on the goal line. So those are those

1702
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 16: are critical plays for our guess that's.

1703
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 9: You guys feature. I mean we get into them me

1704
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 9: to do, get into meetings and feature.

1705
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 11: It depends on the week.

1706
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 16: Yeah, it depends on the week, depends on the tone

1707
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 16: of the meeting. Plenty of times we highlight stuff like

1708
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 16: that with how k out of the AFC North is

1709
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 16: this year.

1710
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 19: How do you make sure the guys are just doing

1711
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 19: it on a week two week basis, not looking outside.

1712
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 11: Although I really feel like I've had to worry about that.

1713
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 16: You know, we we have our messaging each week that

1714
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 16: we follow and I've never felt the need to make

1715
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 16: sure that we're just focused on the week. I think

1716
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 16: those guys have done a really good job of doing that,

1717
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 16: and you know that's that's the most critical point. It's

1718
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 16: just got to play Buffalo, need to win the game

1719
01:20:58,320 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 16: and worry about the rest after that.

1720
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:01,560
Speaker 18: Giving as a result on Thursday and then kind of

1721
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 18: how things have played out in the North, especially over

1722
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 18: the weekend.

1723
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 9: Does it still feel like everything's in front of you

1724
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 9: as you go into this one.

1725
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's exciting to know there's still opportunity there, but again,

1726
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 16: you just have to take a week to week. Us

1727
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 16: being Baltimore has nothing to do with how we're going

1728
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 16: to play against Buffalo. So our guys understand that still

1729
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 16: a day here with the bonus day and got to

1730
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 16: have a great week and it's gonna be tough environment

1731
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 16: to go on the road there.

1732
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 11: It's always a tough place to play.

1733
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 16: It's gonna be loud, it's gonna be cold, probably gonna

1734
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 16: be windy, and so our guys as gotta be ready

1735
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 16: to embrace all that.

1736
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 20: How much do you subscribe to the theory that, especially

1737
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 20: come decembery to be able to at some point be

1738
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 20: able to run the ball with authority in the climent weather.

1739
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 11: We're throwing the ball out in December two. It's been

1740
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 11: successful for us.

1741
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 16: So we're just gonna keep playing our style and and

1742
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 16: sometimes we played plenty of games where we've leaned on

1743
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 16: the run, plenty of games where we've leaned in the

1744
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 16: past game. So again it's it's what's your style play,

1745
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 16: what's your identity as a team, how's the game going.

1746
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 16: There's a lot of things that factor into how the

1747
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 16: game is going to play out. But you're not gonna

1748
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 16: pin me down and say we're gonna run the ball

1749
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 16: sixty times in a game just because it's simmer outside.

1750
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 16: We're going to run the ball and you have to

1751
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 16: do well, yeah, that's a unique circumstance. We're gonna do

1752
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 16: whatever it takes to win the game, you know. And

1753
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 16: I feel like we've always done that, and there's been

1754
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 16: games certainly I can think of in December where we've

1755
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 16: gone in there and how to do a great job

1756
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 16: establishing the run and defenses played great, so you can

1757
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 16: stick with it throughout the game, and you know, we'll

1758
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 16: see the type of game this turns out to be.

1759
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 3: Play you guys with authority.

1760
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 11: I guess what I'm kind of thinking about.

1761
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know that that game it allowed us, just

1762
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 16: the way that the game played out, we were allowed

1763
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 16: to stick with that kind of stuff and our defense

1764
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 16: that played really well that day, and you know, so

1765
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 16: again we just will do whatever it takes to win.

1766
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 9: What what did you ask Joe this?

1767
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 10: So I'd be a better question for him.

1768
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 9: But with the weather, when you're talking about the.

1769
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 21: Weather being kind of up and there right now, and

1770
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:03,759
Speaker 21: with plate in his shoe, is there any conversations about

1771
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 21: maybe doing something different?

1772
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 9: Like does that create any issues?

1773
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 11: Maybe?

1774
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 9: What did you learn that day about snow games? You

1775
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 9: don't get them too often?

1776
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 16: You know, you'd have to ask Joe. I think, uh,

1777
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 16: traction on the ball, you know, I I don't. I

1778
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 16: haven't thrown much in snow games. You know, rain is

1779
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 16: often the biggest issue. I'd say wind is a big issue.

1780
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,240
Speaker 16: Snow would come in third behind that kind of stuff.

1781
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 16: So I think he could probably answer that question better

1782
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 16: having done it a lot more recently than anybody else.

1783
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 16: But again, I thought that day, you know, I thought

1784
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 16: he threw the ball pretty well, and it's you know,

1785
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 16: it's every sance. Just the wind can always factor into

1786
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 16: that a little bit, depending on how much that is.

1787
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,879
Speaker 9: We went back and look at how he played on Thursday,

1788
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 9: and I can't review the tape. What was the biggest

1789
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 9: thing that jumped out.

1790
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 16: Of you, Well, just just how quickly he got into

1791
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 16: a rhythm. I think he'd sit here and say I

1792
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 16: missed this or missed that. I could feel the rhythm

1793
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 16: he got into and the and the confidence that he

1794
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 16: had when he was out there. So that's what we

1795
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 16: could feel as a team, you know, that that he

1796
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,799
Speaker 16: was he was really back to mid season form for himself,

1797
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 16: even though I again I don't know how he's gonna

1798
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 16: answer that, but for us certainly watching him, he felt

1799
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 16: that and and just I think has had a lot

1800
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:24,600
Speaker 16: of confidence watching him out there.

1801
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 18: When you have your franchise quarterback that it's the team

1802
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 18: is invested in, committed to any back in the locker

1803
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 18: room and the rally guys does that phrase everybody and

1804
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 18: just subconsciously knowing that that's the guy who's kind of

1805
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 18: everything's built around and he's in the building.

1806
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 11: And all of that.

1807
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 9: What does that do for everybody?

1808
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 16: He's in there, and he's one of the greatest players

1809
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:42,719
Speaker 16: in the world, you know, And so I think anytime

1810
01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 16: you get a player like that back on the field,

1811
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 16: absolutely it whether it's subconsciously or consciously, I mean, it's

1812
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 16: it's you're excited to watch that, and you're excited to

1813
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 16: rally behind that and and see where he can take you.

1814
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 7: It looked like Flacco was very interactive on the sideline

1815
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 7: against Baltimore Craig.

1816
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 9: Throw up for any and note just how much input

1817
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 9: he was giving after a series or is that just

1818
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 9: what you expect with who Joe Flacco is.

1819
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 16: Yeah, they, to my I have a really good relationship.

1820
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 16: So whatever they're talking about is all good. There's got

1821
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 16: to see it the same way as coaches do. I

1822
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 16: I'm not always back there, you know. I've kind of

1823
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 16: picked my spots to go back there between series, so

1824
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 16: I don't see it all or recap it all, but

1825
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 16: it is good to have as many I mean, we

1826
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 16: always travel our practice squad quarterback over the years, we

1827
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 16: want as many quarterbacks over there as possible, and somebody

1828
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 16: may see something that somebody else doesn't see. So I

1829
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 16: always think that's a good dialogue to have as many

1830
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 16: guys over there as possible, especially at the high level

1842
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 2: Ravens win. Let's look go ahead of those Buffalo Bills. Now,

1843
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 2: Bills beat the Steelers yesterday in Buffalo twenty six to seven.

1844
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 2: The final the Bills went on the road rather yesterday

1845
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: twenty six to seven.

1846
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 3: Dave I got a.

1847
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 2: Couple of numbers that point to the clear and outright domination.

1848
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 3: The Bills showed yesterday.

1849
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 2: They controlled the clock for forty nearly forty two minutes,

1850
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 2: forty two to eighteen. They ran seventy four plays to

1851
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 2: forty three plays. They outgained the Steelers. This is incredible,

1852
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 2: three twenty two to one sixty six, and they held

1853
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 2: the Steelers to ten first downs the entire football game.

1854
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 3: Holy cow, it's unbelievable that that is a total butt whipping.

1855
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 3: That is domination. I don't think the Pittsburgh Steelers have

1856
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 3: lost a game at home like that in that man

1857
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 3: or for a long long time. I mean, I know

1858
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 3: I've met members of the Rooney family. I know how

1859
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:12,520
Speaker 3: prideful they are, and they are pissed right now. There's

1860
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 3: no way they're not. And Aaron Rodgers, he looked his face.

1861
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 3: He looked just like bewildered and be fuddled. He looked

1862
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 3: like what just happened?

1863
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 2: He had ten completions state he went ten for twenty

1864
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 2: one for one hundred and seventeen yards.

1865
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 3: Unbelievable, it really is.

1866
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 2: And how often does this happen to the Steelers. The

1867
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 2: Bills ran the ball fifty one times for two hundred

1868
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 2: and forty nine yards.

1869
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 3: It's crazy. I mean, say, let's round it. You know,

1870
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 3: he carries for two hundred and fifty yards a pop

1871
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 3: on fifty attempts. That that's domination. That is that's winning

1872
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. That's owning the line of scrimmage.

1873
01:27:56,040 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 3: It's just not letting you do any thing that you

1874
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 3: want to do and doing everything we want to do

1875
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 3: free and easy.

1876
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 14: Man.

1877
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 2: James Cook ran thirty two of them for one four

1878
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 2: and Dave. The Bills were without two of their starting tackles,

1879
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown both were out. They plugged

1880
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 2: in two others, Ryan Van Denmark and Alec Anderson, and

1881
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:21,719
Speaker 2: they do all that with to replacement offensive lineman.

1882
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 3: It's true, that's that's the other thing. You know, Dawkins played,

1883
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 3: somebody got nicked up again, had to had to leave

1884
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 3: the football game. But man, you talk about you look

1885
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 3: for depth. That's that's what you're trying to build on

1886
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 3: your on your roster, and particularly up front the offensive

1887
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 3: and defensive line. You know, you look for depth, and

1888
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 3: you have guys that have to play multiple positions because

1889
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,759
Speaker 3: you're not going to carry you know, ten offensive linemen

1890
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 3: on the active roster. You know, every week, the numbers

1891
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 3: dictate that that's not necessarily feasible week in and week out.

1892
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 3: So uh, you know, for them to for them to

1893
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,200
Speaker 3: be able to to plug and play like they did,

1894
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 3: it's a it's a testament to how those guys work,

1895
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 3: how they were ready to play mentally in physically understanding

1896
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 3: every assignment that they needed to he needed to understand

1897
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 3: every nuance of what they needed to do within that assignment.

1898
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 6: It was.

1899
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 3: It was just a heck of a heck of an

1900
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 3: effort by the Buffalo Bills as an organization.

1901
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen throws just twenty three times. Yesterday he goes

1902
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 2: fifteen of twenty three. He had another rushing touchdown Dave.

1903
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 2: He now has the most rushing touchdowns by any quarterback

1904
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,679
Speaker 2: in NFL history, passing Cam Newton. He's got seventy six

1905
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 2: rushing touchdown this season. Josh Allen has eleven rushing touchdown.

1906
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 3: That's sick. It is.

1907
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: That's just like you look at and say, well, that's

1908
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,640
Speaker 2: not right. There's no way the quarterback touchdown.

1909
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,719
Speaker 3: That is really amazing. And for him, you think about

1910
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 3: all the great quarterbacks that were dual threat quarterbacks run

1911
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 3: the football and throw it, and he's number one all

1912
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 3: time in rushing for touchdowns. I mean, the guy that

1913
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 3: I used to watch, you know, growing up, ran target

1914
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 3: him and he run around like a benchie, you know,

1915
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 3: And I felt like he scored touchdowns every single football

1916
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 3: game he played in. But for Josh Allen, for you

1917
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 3: to at the end of your career to be able

1918
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,600
Speaker 3: to reflect back and say, I'm number one in the

1919
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 3: National Football League all time in the history of the NFL,

1920
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 3: all the years the NFL have been around, I'm the

1921
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:22,200
Speaker 3: one guy that has rushed for the most touchdowns in

1922
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 3: my position group, the quarterback position. That's something to be

1923
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 3: proud of.

1924
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 2: I got a stat for you. I want one quick

1925
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,599
Speaker 2: stat that we're gonna hear from Sean McDermott. In one

1926
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty three games, Yeah, Josh Allen has seventy

1927
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 2: six rushing touchdowns for the Bills. That's seventy six rushing

1928
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,839
Speaker 2: touchdowns one hundred and twenty three games. Well, Jay Simpson

1929
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 2: had fifty seven rushing touchdowns as a Bill in one

1930
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 2: hundred and twelve games. Josh Allen's twenty one more rushing

1931
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 2: touchdowns than the Juice did in eleven more games. But

1932
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,759
Speaker 2: still that's some context that makes it even more amazing

1933
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 2: to what Josh Allens it really is.

1934
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of which broadcaster was, that, the

1935
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,759
Speaker 3: network was, that the game itself was at the pregame

1936
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 3: post game studio, somebody said that now Josh Allen is

1937
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,719
Speaker 3: the greatest player in Buffalo Bill's history, the greatest player

1938
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:11,639
Speaker 3: ever in Buffalo Bill's history. Of course, the rushing touchdowns

1939
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 3: was the big reason why. At the quarterback position. But man,

1940
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,920
Speaker 3: I tell you, I don't know. I'd have a hard

1941
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 3: time putting anybody ahead a rental James. Oh, Yes, James.

1942
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 2: Simpson twenty six to seven was the final yesterday. Here

1943
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes of the opening thoughts from Sean McDermott,

1944
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 2: Bills coach after the win.

1945
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 22: Good win, tough place to play, well coached football team,

1946
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 22: a out of respect for this organization or coaching staff

1947
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 22: or players. Hard fought win and a team win hard

1948
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 22: to do, especially late in the year on the road.

1949
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:48,200
Speaker 22: Or guys, they showed up today.

1950
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 6: They stood up.

1951
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 22: They knew this would be a challenge and they rose

1952
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 22: to the occasion. I'll start with the defense. The big

1953
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 22: takeaway after half was huge takeaway and score than the

1954
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 22: ensuing drive get another takeaway CB. I believe it was

1955
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 22: Joey on the Joey on the sack level, but even

1956
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:08,559
Speaker 22: bigger than that was stopping the run. Our defense came out.

1957
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 22: They did a great job, Bobby and the defensive staff

1958
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:14,840
Speaker 22: all week long coaching it up, getting our fits right.

1959
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 22: Fourth down stop is obviously big for us offensively once

1960
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,599
Speaker 22: we stopped starting, you know, once we stopped beating ourselves

1961
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:23,720
Speaker 22: in the first half of penalties and taking and turn

1962
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 22: the ball over, played more of a complimentary game, and

1963
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,799
Speaker 22: you know, one first down, the rushing offense was incredible,

1964
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 22: especially against that defense, well coached team, like I've said before,

1965
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 22: tough front to run it against, and we were able

1966
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 22: to stand some positive third down situations where we were

1967
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:45,720
Speaker 22: not in third or long. Two hundred and forty plus

1968
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:50,639
Speaker 22: yards rushing and then key completions with Josh sometimes moving

1969
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 22: around a little bit in the pocket in that four

1970
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 22: minute drive was really like an eight minute drive I

1971
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 22: think it was, but a big time drive right there

1972
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,679
Speaker 22: for us, and then capping it off with a field

1973
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 22: goal to it.

1974
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 6: So all in all, great effort.

1975
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 22: Certainly things we can work on but good to come

1976
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 22: on the road and show our toughness.

1977
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 9: Don your defense really since the second half of Houston has.

1978
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 11: Kind of taken it up to a different level.

1979
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 9: What why, Ald is what has changed you think in

1980
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 9: the defensive performance?

1981
01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 22: No, maybe more understanding guys just you know, kind of

1982
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 22: just flying around playing relentless style football on They work

1983
01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 22: hard during the week and take a lot of pride

1984
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 22: in their work. So I couldn't be happier with the

1985
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:28,679
Speaker 22: way they played tonight.

1986
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 10: Coach.

1987
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:32,519
Speaker 23: I know the defense kind of sparred things, but the

1988
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:33,920
Speaker 23: two takeaways they're back to back.

1989
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 3: Though.

1990
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,240
Speaker 23: When Josh got hit on the slide and there was

1991
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 23: no flag, obviously his teammates came to his defense, but

1992
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:42,600
Speaker 23: I don't know, all of a sudden, it looked like

1993
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,599
Speaker 23: the mojo got kicked into year on offense.

1994
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:46,760
Speaker 9: Did you send some of that juice that came from

1995
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 9: that play?

1996
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:49,560
Speaker 22: I would hope so, right, I would hope so like

1997
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 22: you would, I expect you to be out there right

1998
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 22: with them, Chris. You know, so you hit it like

1999
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 22: down our quarterback, Yeah, the sideline is gonna rop. The

2000
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 22: team's gonna go to back back quarterback of what any player.

2001
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 6: So that's what I expected to see.

2002
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 3: That's what they did, and you know it was what

2003
01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:06,519
Speaker 3: it was.

2004
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 6: So but you mentioned it during your opening statement. I

2005
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:09,599
Speaker 6: came in a little later.

2006
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:13,560
Speaker 14: I apologize. But Anderson and Vandermark stepping in for some

2007
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 14: video you at the end of the game there when

2008
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,680
Speaker 14: they're coming into the locker room, Alan, I think it

2009
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 14: picks you even up, pretty emotional. But for those guys

2010
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 14: to step in, Josh, not to be sacked, to.

2011
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 5: Rush for two hundred and fifty yards.

2012

Speaker 1: Yeah, was it say about the job they did?

2013
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,080

2014
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:32,759
Speaker 22: in front of them. Their teammates supported them. They didn't blink,

2015
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 22: They really didn't. I thought it was a great move

2016
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,600
Speaker 22: by the coaches in terms of how they had it

2017
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 22: set up Coach Coromer, Coach Gunn and Joe obviously, and

2018
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 22: you know, those guys did not They did not bad

Speaker 5: So love living there.

2071
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 19: There's an old picture of you on the internet from

2072
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:19,840
Speaker 19: being the homecoming king at your high school. Were you

2073
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 19: involved in other activities as well? Are pretty much sports only?

2074
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of sports.

2075
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 24: I was involved with FCA at our school, as much

2076
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 24: community service as I can get into, and just very

2077
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 24: social we had. We had a really really cool high

2078
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 24: school experience with just everybody supporting each other with sports

2079
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,520
Speaker 24: and academics.

2080
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 5: Was a huge pieces for me.

2081
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 24: My family as well obviously ended up going to Vanderbilt,

2082
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 24: so that was a big piece for me moving into college. Uh,

2083
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 24: and my sister went to Stanford play softball there as well,

2084
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:53,679
Speaker 24: So we're always student athletes, And I just really appreciate

2085
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 24: my my upbringing. My parents enforced that really early into us,

2086
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 24: just having great values and knowing that it's beyond sort

2087
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 24: and just having an impact in your community and beyond.

2088
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, that was a big piece of me.

2089
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:07,600
Speaker 19: So with you at Vanderbilt and your sister at Stanford.

2090
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 19: Did your folks more or less tell you make this

2091
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 19: choice as much about the academics as the athletics.

2092
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:16,600
Speaker 24: Not directly, but definitely kind of indirectly. They were like,

2093
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:19,679
Speaker 24: you know, just think about the long term situation. What's

2094
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 24: your major, what you want to do, you know, beyond

2095
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,639
Speaker 24: playing the game, because you know, like the numbers tell

2096
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 24: you that, you know, you're probably not going to play

2097
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 24: in the NFL or for her professional sports, but just

2098
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 24: having a backup plan when that does come. And you know,

2099
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 24: I feel like that has allowed me to be a

2100
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 24: well rounded individual. Just just really taking intent about my

2101
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 24: my academics has helped me tremendously, you know, just the

2102
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 24: way I process thing, the way I learned, and just

2103
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:50,759
Speaker 24: again just being a well, well around the individual.

2104
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:54,360
Speaker 19: You started out as a safety at Vanderbilt. How did

2105
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 19: you become a linebacker and how did you feel about it?

2106
01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? So I was actually a recruited as a linebacker.

2107
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 24: I was James Franklin, I know, he's a Virginia technologis

2108
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 24: last recruiting class at Vandy before he went to Penn State.

2109
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 5: I was a linebacker that year. We had new coaches.

2110
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,360
Speaker 24: Toff come in with Coach Mason, and he saw me

2111
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 24: as a safety, So I played safety. I was middle posts,

2112
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 24: like running all over the place for two years, and

2113
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 24: then I played a hybrid outside inside position, and then I.

2114
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:24,719
Speaker 5: Played inside my last year, so really all over the field.

2115
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:26,800
Speaker 24: But for me, it's just about find a way to

2116
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 24: get on the field, add value, make plays, and I

2117
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 24: feel like that allowed me to have the skill set.

2118
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 24: You know, this league has changed a lot at the

2119
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 24: lineback position, being able to run and cover, and I

2120
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 24: feel like that safety background has definitely helped me in

2121
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 24: terms of like seeing the game from a different perspective.

2122
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 19: We're chatting with Orren Burks as we do this interview.

2123

2126

2133
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:15,920

01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:21,960
Speaker 24: it the right way, and the city of Nashville is

2136
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 24: just getting behind them as well.

2137
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 5: So it's been really cool to see the guys take

2138
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 5: off this year.

2139
01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 19: You're drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the third

2140
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 19: round in twenty eighteen. How stressful was that day leading

2141
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:33,479
Speaker 19: up to getting the phone call.

2142
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 5: I wasn't very stressed.

2143
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 24: I feel like I had, you know, at that point,

2144
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 24: you do everything you can to put yourself in the

2145
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 24: best situation in terms of being drafted, and I felt

2146
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 24: really good about my draft process. I played well in

2147
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 24: the Senior Bowls a lad ad there, did well in

2148
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 24: the combine. I felt like I did well in my interviews,

2149
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 24: and my tape was my tape from college. You know,

2150
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 24: I had a lot of versatility from safety to the

2151
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:56,360
Speaker 24: inside and outside, and I felt like I had kind

2152
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 24: of like done everything I could and just really had

2153
01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 24: a of like it's freedom, you know, just like being

2154
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 24: able to surrender the outcomes of where I would land.

2155
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 24: You have no idea where you're going to be, so

2156
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 24: like it's not even worth you trying to guess for

2157
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 24: the guys that are going through that process coming up.

2158
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:13,599
Speaker 24: But yeah, I just felt like I had done everything

2159
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,719
Speaker 24: I could and was excited for the opportunity to land anywhere,

2160
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 24: you know, in the NFL and make my mark.

2161
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,639
Speaker 19: The Packers missed the playoffs your rookie year. Since then,

2162
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 19: you've been on six consecutive playoff teams with Green Bay,

2163
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 19: San Francisco and Philly. You've played in the last two

2164
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 19: Super Bowls. What have you learned about the most important

2165
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 19: traits of winning teams?

2166
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 24: Man, it's a lot, I'll say first, it's just culture

2167
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 24: is so important. Just the standard for play, play style,

2168
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 24: not even just scheme, just the way that you play

2169
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 24: the game, the way that you prepare your process. It

2170
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 24: bleeds over to everybody into the building. It includes the

2171
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 24: front staff, the back, like everybody has to be bought

2172
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 24: in for you to really make a run. And I

2173
01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 24: feel like that has improved my process as well. It

2174
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 24: made me a better person, maybe a better man, in

2175
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 24: terms of like the accountability that it takes, the effort

2176
01:42:06,439 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 24: that it takes, and ultimately vulnerability like this game, like

2177
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 24: you're exposed every every Sunday, you're out there and you

2178
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 24: know the whole world is seeing you, so you're just

2179
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 24: trying to put your best foot forward for yourself and

2180
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 24: for your brothers next to you. So I don't know,

2181
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 24: just taking that approach, as you know, it had it's

2182
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,560
Speaker 24: better in my life, you know, in terms of me

2183
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 24: having to be better for my brother right next to me.

2184
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 24: So I just really enjoyed that about football, the challenge

2185
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 24: that it is every weekend and week out.

2186
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:35,800
Speaker 5: It's find a way to get better.

2187
01:42:36,520 --> 01:42:38,840
Speaker 19: I work with Dave Lappa on the broadcasts. He was

2188
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 19: on the Super Team in nineteen eighty one with the

2189
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:43,639
Speaker 19: Bengals lost to the forty nine Ers. It still hurts

2190
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 19: to this day. You played on the losing team a

2191
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 19: couple of years ago, and then the next year we're

2192
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:53,360
Speaker 19: on the winning team with the Philadelphia Eagles. How did

2193
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,719
Speaker 19: that feel, considering that you still had that fresh wound

2194
01:42:56,960 --> 01:42:57,719
Speaker 19: from the year before.

2195
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just I feel like I just had

2196
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:02,800
Speaker 5: the mindset that I have to see it through, you know.

2197
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 24: Just having the opportunity and coming up short with the Niners,

2198
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 24: and then having the opportunity the next year against the

2199
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:12,560
Speaker 24: same team that that very rarely happens, So it's a

2200
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,160
Speaker 24: different locker room but you know they had to experienced

2201
01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:16,639
Speaker 24: the same thing a couple of years ago, is losing

2202
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:18,840
Speaker 24: to the Chiefs as well, So I felt like there

2203
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 24: was a lot of joint motivation towards, you know, getting

2204
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,600
Speaker 24: it right this time. And yeah, just just wanted to

2205
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,200
Speaker 24: lead out it on the field everything I could, you know,

2206
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 24: preparation and just knowing what to expect for the Super

2207
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 24: Bowl week as well. It was really important in terms

2208
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 24: of sticking to your process. The craziness outside and you

2209
01:43:36,840 --> 01:43:38,920
Speaker 24: know that that goes into that week as well. Just

2210
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,360
Speaker 24: being able to keep your head down and work towards

2211
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,040
Speaker 24: the ultimate goal because afterwards there's no greater feeling. And

2212
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 24: then then host hoisting that that Lombardi Trophy and being

2213
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 24: with your brothers.

2214
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 5: In the in the locker room. So yeah, just looking

2215
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 5: looking to repeat that feeling.

2216
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 19: It's not quite the Philly Special, but you made a

2217
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 19: play that Eagles fans will be talking about for decades.

2218
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 19: You forst to fumble on the very first play of

2219
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 19: the playoff run with a jarring hit to the Packers

2220
01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 19: kick returner. How cool is it to have a moment

2221
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 19: like that that anytime you go back to Philly, somebody's

2222
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 19: going to say, orn Bergs, wait to force that fumble.

2223
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's special. It's special, you know, going into playoffs.

2224
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:17,600
Speaker 24: I played in a lot of playoff games before that,

2225
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 24: and I just remember my telling myself that week, just

2226
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 24: find a way to make a player is going to

2227
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 24: change the game. And what better way to change the

2228
01:44:24,160 --> 01:44:26,759
Speaker 24: game than the opening kickoff forcing the fun will getting

2229
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:29,800
Speaker 24: the ball out and we go down to drive start

2230
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 24: and score right there. So just to get a quick

2231
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 24: jump on it, setting the tone for the playoffs the place,

2232
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 24: Like again, the play style that we wanted to have,

2233
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:38,640
Speaker 24: the physicality that we wanted to have.

2234
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 5: It's super cool.

2235
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 24: I still get like dms every once in a while,

2236
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:44,080
Speaker 24: Like I'll never forget that, you know, that play that

2237
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:47,160
Speaker 24: you're talking about, the opening kickoff of the of the

2238
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:50,680
Speaker 24: Packers game. So yeah, just definitely still feel the love,

2239
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:52,600
Speaker 24: you know, from from Philly fans and beyond, you know,

2240
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 24: for you know, making a play that you know changed

2241
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 24: the game.

2242
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:58,720
Speaker 5: But yeah, just a really cool moment, all right.

2243
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 19: A few wild card topics out for Orrin Berks. Who

2244
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,799
Speaker 19: is your all time favorite athlete in any sport?

2245
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 6: And why?

2246
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:13,000
Speaker 24: Obviously Michael Jordan just like his competitiveness, you know, that's

2247
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:14,000
Speaker 24: that's hard to emulate.

2248
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 3: And just like his his.

2249
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 24: His drive to hold the others around him accountable, the

2250
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 24: same with Kobe, like kind of that mindset.

2251
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'd probably have to go with those two

2252
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 5: Jordan's in Kobe.

2253
01:45:26,840 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 15: You earned your degree at Vanderbilt. Do you know what

2254
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 15: you want to do after football?

2255
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 24: Yeah, I'm you know, figuring it out. I do a

2256
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 24: little bit of real estate inside, but I really enjoy

2257
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 24: just business, the critical thinking around that, using business tactics

2258
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:45,759
Speaker 24: to attack social problems and create change in the community.

2259
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 5: So definitely things around that. That's that's kind of what

2260
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 5: I'm looking at.

2261
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 24: But you know, I'm enjoying my time in the league,

2262
01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 24: and you know, I'll have so many doors that are

2263
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,120
Speaker 24: going to be open, you know, when the time comes

2264
01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 24: after I retire.

2265
01:45:56,920 --> 01:46:00,600
Speaker 15: But just focus on now, Aside from sports, what are

2266
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 15: you good at?

2267
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm good with people.

2268
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 24: I truly enjoy the team aspect of sport, and I

2269
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 24: try to carry that into my relationships with my wife,

2270
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 24: with my friends, with my family and just try to

2271
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 24: pull the best out of people.

2272
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 5: So that's I feel like that's what I'm good at all.

2273
01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:21,880
Speaker 19: Right, final fun fact for Aaron Burks. This one's kind

2274
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,719
Speaker 19: of deep. If you could meet anyone in history, living

2275
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 19: or deceased, who would that person be?

2276
01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 24: Yeah, probably be probably Jackie Robinson. Most people don't know.

2277
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 24: That's the reason why I wear forty two. So coming

2278
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 24: to the league, you have to have a forty or

2279
01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:38,799
Speaker 24: fifty number to be linebacker. And you know that was presented,

2280
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 24: and you know that thought would be cool to pay

2281
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 24: homage to, you know, one of the first black athletes

2282
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:45,560
Speaker 24: in professional sports, and like all that he had to

2283
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 24: go through, the mental fortitude that he carried and the

2284
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 24: poise that he carried as well.

2285
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 5: So I feel like that would be really cool to

2286
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 5: hear his story like firsthand.

2287
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:56,400
Speaker 19: I love it and I will definitely mention it the

2288
01:46:56,439 --> 01:46:59,320
Speaker 19: next time number forty two makes a tackle. Arren Burks,

2289
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:01,240
Speaker 19: appreciate your time. Best of luck the rest of the year.

2290
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 5: I appreciate it.

2291
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:05,200
Speaker 2: Oron Burks the subject of this week's Fantastic Fun Facts

2292
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 2: and Dave. Just a final thought on Oron Burks on

2293
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 2: a team with rookie linebackers and certainly Logan Wilson no

2294
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 2: longer here by trade, I think there's great value in

2295
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:14,920
Speaker 2: an Oron Burks being a veteran linebacker, got a Super

2296
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 2: Bowl under his belt. He can be a guiding voice

2297
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 2: and kind of steer the young guys they have at

2298
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:21,400
Speaker 2: that group.

2299
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 3: I agree, one hundred thousand percent. Lance and Oran Brooks

2300
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 3: is a great guy. Everybody that I talked to in

2301
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 3: the locker rooms and they love him. They love him

2302
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 3: as a football player, they love him as a human being.

2303
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 3: I mean, he is just an unbelievably fine person. You know,

2304
01:47:35,120 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 3: every once in a while, you're going to meet somebody

2305
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 3: that makes a huge impression on you. And Aaron Burks

2306
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 3: does that with these young players, not only in terms

2307
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 3: of football, but also their life, you know, marriage, family,

2308
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 3: how to be a good husband, how to be a

2309
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 3: good father, all those kind of things. So and the

2310
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,040
Speaker 3: fact is, young guys look up to guys that want

2311
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:56,840
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. Yes, you got a Super Bowl ring

2312
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 3: hanging off your finger, man, that's a that's ability right there.

2313
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:04,760
Speaker 3: And they're gonna listen to whatever Oron Brooks has to say.

2314
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 3: And Oron Brooks is not gonna steer them wrong, no doubt,

2315
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 3: no doubt at all.

2316
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 2: All Right, two segments to go follow us. Our next segment,

Speaker 2: favorite calls, and you're gonna hear the stories behind each

2331

Speaker 2: of those calls. Let's go back and pick it up

2332
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 2: with Week sixteen, twenty twelve in Pittsburgh. Here's Behind the

2333
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:07,120
Speaker 2: Stripes with Dan and Ladle.

2334
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,519
Speaker 19: The thing I remember about that game is it's the

2335
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 19: most physical game I've ever seen in my life.

2336
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 15: We've been doing this for fifteen years. Together.

2337
01:49:17,479 --> 01:49:20,240
Speaker 19: That game stands out for the violence on the field.

2338
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:23,400
Speaker 19: Two really good teams. The winner was going to go

2339
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 19: to the playoffs, the loser was going to be left out.

2340
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 19: Cincinnati won in Pittsburgh to clinch the playoff berth. And

2341
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:31,680
Speaker 19: the thing that stands out after the game is that

2342
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 19: we all got to hear you sing serenading Gino Atkins

2343
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:37,519
Speaker 19: in the locker room after he punished a big ben

2344
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 19: during the course of that game.

2345
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 15: Fall drop straight back round, russure at.

2346
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 19: Kingsm again, Gino Atkins putting on an absolute show. Can

2347
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:48,719
Speaker 19: we get a replay of you singing to Gino Atkins,

2348
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 19: Geno Aladdins, Geno Adkis, Gino ahead.

2349
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 11: Kids.

2350
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,679
Speaker 19: So I've been posting clips of some of our radio

2351
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 19: calls on the internet almost the entire time that we've

2352
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 19: been doing the games together.

2353
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 15: That play is the one that's been listened.

2354
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 6: To the most.

2355
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:15,679
Speaker 19: Fourth and One Rogers has it gets to Frankment, he dies,

2356
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 19: don't think a good I don't thinking ball do is out?

2357
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 10: Let's cook it out.

2358
01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 4: It's not running that out.

2359
01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:25,679
Speaker 3: Bengals touchdown. Terrence Steuman.

2360
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:31,200
Speaker 15: People love balls out, balls out, ball out, And I

2361
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 15: honestly think that when there's a fumble in a game.

2362
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 19: Now, I think I used that expression more often than not,

2363
01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:38,800
Speaker 19: because that's now what.

2364
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 15: I hear in my head. I hear your reaction to

2365
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 15: that moment. I'm glad you saw it.

2366
01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 19: Obviously, I was locked in on whether the Bengals got

2367
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 19: to stop on fourth and one. I didn't see the

2368
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 19: ball come out initially. With that great defensive play at

2369
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:52,519
Speaker 19: the end of the game, it was one of the

2370
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 19: wackier games that we've seen.

2371
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 3: I mean wickedly wacky. To give up thirty consecutive points

2372
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:03,679
Speaker 3: and have a defensive touchdown. When the football game, somebody

2373
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 3: throws a great block, or somebody throws somebody makes a

2374
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:11,040
Speaker 3: great move, you know, to break free. Man, Those defensive

2375
01:51:11,080 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 3: scores are rare. They're fun, no doubt.

2376
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 19: From the thirteen yard line, twelve seconds to go, talk

2377
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 19: you back to throw.

2378
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah Jah, touchdown, Bengals.

2379
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:30,040
Speaker 19: It's the latest game winning touchdown that we've called together.

2380
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:32,720
Speaker 19: I think when they checked out the clock, they put

2381
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:34,680
Speaker 19: six seconds back on the clock. So to see a

2382
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 19: game winning touchdown pass with less than ten seconds to

2383
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 19: go is great. Atlanta's AJ Green's adopted hometown, so for

2384
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 19: him to be in Atlanta and make a play like

2385
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 19: that in the final ten seconds to win a game

2386
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:45,960
Speaker 19: was really cool.

2387
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is plays like that in memories that

2388
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:52,639
Speaker 3: those plays create or why you play.

2389
01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:54,439
Speaker 5: It's almost like you free streamed.

2390
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 3: Do you remember exactly where you were, when you were there,

2391
01:51:58,280 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 3: why you were there, everything that goes long with it

2392
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,439
Speaker 3: when you do it on the road you travel home.

2393
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:04,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like you don't need a plane, you know,

2394
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 3: It's like you're you can fly. You can fly by yourself.

2395
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 3: You're up there flapping your own wings man.

2396
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 4: And that is the coffin nail Bam bam bam.

2397
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 19: There was early in a broadcast partnership, but at the

2398
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 19: end of a game. I don't remember the game when

2399
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 19: the Bengals made the play that clinched victory, I just

2400
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:30,360
Speaker 19: said as an expression. It wasn't preconceived or anything like that.

2401
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 19: I just said, coffin nails because the game was over,

2402
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 19: and you immediately.

2403
01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:37,960
Speaker 15: Said bam bam bam.

2404
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 19: To this day, I don't know really why it just

2405
01:52:41,720 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 19: just came to you in the moment, I assume exactly.

2406
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:44,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know why either. I don't know.

2407
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 3: I guess it's kind of morbid.

2408
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 1: You know what's like coffin nails.

2409
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 3: Well, I do remember seeing movies that are and people

2410
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 3: banging those coffin nails in is something that almost every

2411
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:57,519
Speaker 3: Bengals fan. Uh you know, I see them out in

2412
01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:01,640
Speaker 3: the street or wherever. Hey, coffinail damn bam bam. You

2413
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:05,720
Speaker 3: know I'll say Confide Hills. You say vam bam bam. Okay, yeah,

2414
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 3: we can do that.

2415
01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:09,920
Speaker 19: Four years ago, he was a senior in high school

2416
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:13,599
Speaker 19: in tiny Fort Payne, Alabama. Now the Bengels Super Bowl

2417
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:15,679
Speaker 19: chances rest on his right foot.

2418
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:19,160
Speaker 4: The kick is up yet, Yeah, good.

2419
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:28,880
Speaker 3: Coffin nows Bam bam bam. That is unba believable. The

2420
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:34,120
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals comes from behind on the road, it's history. Man,

2421
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:36,720
Speaker 3: have a game winning kick like that to get you there.

2422
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 3: That that is that's a big time. That's a lot

2423
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 3: of fun.

2424
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,639
Speaker 19: So you summed it up perfectly. After the kick goes

2425
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 19: through the uprights, un bah believable. That's what was going

2426
01:53:47,640 --> 01:53:51,440
Speaker 19: through my mind until that ball goes through the uprights.

2427
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 19: I'm not sure that in my mind I had really

2428
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:56,600
Speaker 19: grasped you're gonna be calling a super Bowl in a

2429
01:53:56,680 --> 01:53:57,280
Speaker 19: couple of weeks.

2430
01:53:57,360 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean that's the epitome for a broadcast,

2431
01:54:00,280 --> 01:54:03,200
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, if you're gonna broadcast NFL games,

2432
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:04,639
Speaker 3: you want to call the big one.

2433
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 19: Dave Lapham has rejoined us here in the broadcast booth

2434
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:12,320
Speaker 19: wearing his stylish Yes Ring of Honor blazer.

2435
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:13,600
Speaker 15: That thing looks great on you.

2436
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:16,640
Speaker 3: It was a surreal experience getting the jacket put on

2437
01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:19,680
