Speaker 2: that show from five to six. But in any case,

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: let's talk about the big news for the Cincinnati Bengals.

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: The Bengals have a new quarterback, about it signed yesterday.

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: He practiced today wearing an unfamiliar number. He is wearing

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: the number sixteen. I am speaking of forty year old

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: Joseph Vincent Flacco, who will become the first forty year

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: old to ever play for the Cincinnati Bengals. They've never

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: had anyone forty and older suit up for them before.

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: He's a bet eighteen years in the league. He's had

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: some tremendous highs. He led the Ravens to a Super

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: Bowl title back in twenty twelve. He was the Super

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: Bowl MVP that year, and you might be thinking, well,

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: that was a long time ago. He hasn't been very

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: good recently. But two years ago he was the NFL

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: Comeback Player of the Year when he came on late

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: in the season, basically came off the couch for the

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns and was tremendous in a five game stretch

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: that got them to the playoffs. So that's what the

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: Bengals are for. They are hoping that he can breathe

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: some life into this offense. It's really struggled since Joe

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: Burrow went down. Distribute the ball to their great skill

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: position talent and get this team back on track. To

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: stay in the hut and what has turned out to

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: be a topsy turvy AFC.

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

63
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: I mean the Baltimore Ravens are one in four. You know,

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: really good teams in the AFC conference in general, ye

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: are just okay.

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: You know, Kansas City's two and three and they play

67
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: the Lions this week.

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, some five hundred team. You know, it's like what

69
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: so it's the season is far from over. And I

70
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: think because of that, the Bengals said, you know, we

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: got to go out and we got to get a

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: quarterback that's capable of performing at a pretty high level.

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: And they targeted Joe Flacco and they got it done.

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: They got Joe Flacco here in Cincinnati, and I think

75
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: one of the craziest things is they got a driver

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: to drive he and his wife from Cleveland down to Cincinnati,

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: and he was his life was just grilling him on formations,

78
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: plays motion, you know, skill patterns that they're going to

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: put together, how they're going to put him together, why

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: they're going to be putting together. What are they hoping

81
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: to accomplish by running these patterns the way they're going

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 4: to be run. So she was trying to get him

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: a big head start, which she did on the Bengals offense.

84
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: Dan Pitcher has spent every waking hour. I mean, I

85
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: think Dan Pitcher and Joe Flack are going to be

86
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: tired of seeing each other. I mean they're spent every

87
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 4: week an hour basically going over what the Cincinnati Bengals

88
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: hope to accomplish and how they hope to accomplish it.

89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: I think I think it's exciting news.

90
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: I really do.

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 4: I mean, I took my cap to the to the

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: Brown Blackburn family for going out and doing this. It's

93
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: not something they've done in the past. And again, like

94
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: you said, Dan, first forty year old Cincinnati Bengal player

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: in franchise history.

96
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 3: You know that's a landmark.

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: Now, I'd like to have other landmarks this season that

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: don't have anything to do with the age of players.

99
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 4: Like to have landmarks wins, regular season wins, playoff wins,

100
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 4: maybe even a Super Bowl win. At the end of

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl three times. Haven't gotten it done yet.

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 4: I'll see if Joe Flackel can do it.

103
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: The Bengals are alone in second place in the AFC North.

104
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: The first place team is Pittsburgh. The Steelers are three

105
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: and one. They don't really have a quality win yet.

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Right Their quarterback is older than the Bengals quarterback Aaron

107
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: Rodgers is older than Joe Flacco, So I think Pittsburgh.

108
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: There's the jury still out a little bit there. Sure

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Ravens are one in four. They're racked

110
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 2: by injuries. Don't know what's going to happen with Lamar

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: Jackson in the short term. They've got another tough game

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: this week. They could very easily be one in five.

113
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: They play the Rams. The Browns are the Browns. So

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 2: if you just look at the AFC North, the Bengals

115
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: are two and three, even if they lose this week

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: at Green Bay, and it's obviously a tough game, and

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: they've got a quarterback that's gonna practice for a few days.

118
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: Even if they lose that game, their next three games

119
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: are home, all home games against the Steelers on a

120
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: Thursday night. That's an advantage to play Thursday night, short

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: week at home. The Jets only winless team left in

122
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: the NFL, right the Bears, who are five hundred but

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: not great. If you lose this week and then win

124
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: those three home games, you're a game above five hundred

125
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: going into a buy plenty of relatively easy looking games

126
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: after that, and the possibility that Joe Burrow comes back

127
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: in December.

128
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean you're in high cotton. If you can

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: go on that three game winning streak you talk about,

130
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: and if you can beat the Green Bay Packers, you know,

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: that's just added added fruit.

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 3: To the to the basket, you know.

133
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not like the Green Bay Packers are

134
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: you know, heavy heavy favorite Andre Jose gooshin house.

135
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: It's a big guy.

136
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about it spend some time with us on

137
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: his free time and we always do appreciate that. Dan,

138
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: right when when players, no doubt, when players give up

139
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: their free time to come out and be in the

140
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: community and see the see all the Bengal fans, Philip

141

Speaker 4: support the team.

143

Speaker 5: What do you think of the crowd as a packed

144
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: house in here?

145
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,360

Speaker 5: I was like, holy smoke, you got Joe. Like I

166
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 5: used to watch that guy when I was like eight

167
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 5: years old, like throwing bombs. It was crazy, and like

168
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 5: I saw him in the facility today. He's a lot

169
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 5: bigger than you'd think. To man, yes, six six. I

170
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 5: just remember him throwing to like Jacoby Jones. I mean,

171
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 5: we don't like them here, But because I was a kid,

172
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: I didn't have allegiance to the Bengals, so that understood.

173
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: I'll tell you he can. He can still sling the football. Yeah,

174
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: I mean his his arm strength is is about as

175
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: good as there is really in the league. When but

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: he had he throws it with touch. He throws what

177
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: comes out of his hand nicely, nice RPMs, nice nice

178
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: fin on the football. And the biggest thing is he's

179
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: extremely accurate. Is yeah, yeah, he can. He can hit

180
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: like if he has to hit your right shoulder, that's

181
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: where he's going to be left him, That's exactly where he's.

182
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 6: Going to be.

183
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: How big an advantage is when you have a quarterback

184
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: that is that accurate?

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you can definitely.

186
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: I mean he can throw it so far down the

187
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 5: field that you're scared that you know you're running a

188
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 5: slanter and under he's.

189
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 6: Just gonna rip the ball out your face.

190
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: But he guys with like big arms like that you

191
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: never know what's gonna happen. But he has a really

192
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: nice touch, like really easy to catch.

193
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 6: The ball has a nice spin.

194
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 5: On it so it's not wobbling, right, and he throw me.

195
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: He threw me a deep ball today too, and I was,

196
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 5: you know, I just ran under it like it was nothing.

197
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: So it was it was kind of nice to see that.

198
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: Cool talk to Chase Brown, your close friend after practice.

199
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: Asked him about Placo. He said two things impressed him.

200
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: Number One, the deep ball that he threw to you,

201
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: He said, that was very impressive. Secondly, he said, his

202
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: ability to spit out the plays already.

203
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was crazy. It's like he's been here though,

204
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 5: It's like he's been in the offense.

205
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: Is that right?

206
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

207
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 5: I mean the first day to recite the plays right

208
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 5: back to the offense when Zach gives.

209
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 6: You the call, it's just is really really impressive because

210
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 6: you know, we.

211
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: Have cans on it, so you call the first play

212
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: and then you have to call the second play as well,

213
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 5: and if the defense isn't a certain you know, in

214
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 5: a certain look, then you have to can to play

215
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 5: and remember what the second play is. And he was

216
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: doing that.

217
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 6: Impressed, so I was, I was pretty impressed.

218
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: So we used to call that check with me. You know,

219
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: it come to line of scrimmage with a play and

220
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: you had a second player that if if they came

221
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: up with a defensive front or configuration that didn't like,

222
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: you know, immediately you'd you'd get out of that and

223
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: get into that, uh, that more favorable snap. Right, So

224
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 4: he's already doing that. He's already like double dipping players

225
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: at the line of scrim Yeah, that's that's very impressive.

226
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: Yet he's a smart guy.

227
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: Isn't he.

228
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's super smart. He's super calm. You know, he's

229
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: in the huddle, it's he's very he's a nonchalant guy.

230
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: You can tell he's been in the league for a

231
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 5: really long time, and uh, you know, a good a

232
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: good presence to have in the huddle.

233
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 6: For sure.

234
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Did you take this move as a sign that the

235
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 2: front office believes in the rest of the talent on

236
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: the team and that you guys can still ultimately wind

237
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: up where you intended to wind up when the season began.

238
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 5: Definitely, I think that even even though we lost the

239
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 5: last game, we scored twenty one points in the fourth quarter,

240
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 5: and so, you know, there's signs of life there. It's

241
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: just we needed to be more consistent, and uh, you know,

242
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 5: they felt like Joe was a guy to do that,

243
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 5: and you know, a guy with that much you know,

244
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 5: a guy with that much experience under his belt and

245
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 5: who's been in the big games and who's played everybody. Uh,

246
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 5: you know, I don't think I think they made a

247
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 5: good decision.

248
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 6: There, for sure.

249
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 4: You mentioned that you watched Joe Flack on television when

250
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: you were like eight, you know, eight nine years old. Yeah,

251
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: and I'm sure there's I mean, there's a lot of

252
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: guys in the team that are in the same boat

253
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 4: as you were. A lot of guys about the same

254
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: answer as yourself. Yeah, with the Cincinnati Bengals, and certainly

255
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: is an old foot is not an old football team? Right.

256
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 4: What's like when you're in the huddle and you look

257
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: at the quarterback and it's like, I remember that guy.

258
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: I remember them talking about that guy when I was

259
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: a kid watching TV. He was the star quarterback. What's

260
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: like playing with the star quarterback?

261
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 6: It was a little it was cool.

262
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: It was uh we were making jokes of like who's

263
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: gonna ask for as autograph first? Like, oh, like, I'll

264
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 5: pay you one hundred bucks to go after as for

265
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: his autograph during the meeting or something, just making jokes

266
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 5: like that.

267
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: Right.

268
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 6: He's actually such a cool.

269
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: Guy that, you know, once you get over kind of

270
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 5: you know his history. He you know, talks like a

271
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 5: literary dude, walks like a regular dude, very down to

272
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: earth guy. I didn't really expect that, to be honest.

273
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: Just before you joined us. We were kind of talking

274
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: about the state of affairs in the AFC North. Yeah,

275
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: Steelers are three and one, but the Jersey and the

276
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: jury's still a little bit out there. The Ravens are

277
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: one and four with a bunch of injuries. The Browns

278
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: are one and four and obviously they've got their issues.

279
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: Obviously this move is intended to put you right back

280
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: in the hunt with a record of two and three

281
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: and nobody running away with a division.

282
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think they made the right choice.

283
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 5: They've you know, I mean, he's played for every other

284
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 5: AFC North team except for the Steelers, right, So it's

285
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 5: a guy who's been around, who knows what AFC North

286
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 5: football is like, knows how to beat these teams. And

287
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 5: I think I think he just I think he has

288
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 5: it and once he gets really the playbook down, then

289
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: I think are often should be moving like a machine.

290
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: What did you think and what are your teammates? What'd

291
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: your teammates think? When you guys got together in the

292
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: locker room and talked about the fact that the Bengals

293
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: made a deal with the Cleveland Browns AFC North rival.

294
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: Back when I was playing AFC Central Division rival, I mean,

295
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: so the Cleveland Browns to make a deal for for

296
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 4: Mike Brown to make a deal.

297
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 3: With ownership of the Cleveland Browns.

298
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: For a quarterback when Cleveland knows that they're struggling at

299
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 4: the quarterback position and really need one, and they provided it.

300
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: How unusual is that?

301
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: It was kind of weird for me because I was like, Okay,

302
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 5: we must have traded somebody, right, And then I just

303
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: saw we traded our our sixth round pick or fifth.

304
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: Round or something, right, traded the fifth got us sixth right,

305
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: so they basically lost thirty spots.

306
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 6: In the right and then we got Joe and their pick.

307
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 5: So I'm not really sure what was set in the

308
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 5: back end there, right. Uh you know, I guess they

309
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 5: believe in their young dudes. Well, the starting quarter for

310
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: the for the Browns actually is from Hawaii. I'm rooting

311
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 5: for I never would have wanted them to beat us,

312
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 5: but rooting for him.

313
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 3: So there you go.

314
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,719

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.

352
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,920

00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

354
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,880

Speaker 5: put in every off.

373
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 6: Season since I've been in the league. And it's nice

374
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 6: to hear. But I still have a long way to go.

375
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: So you have worked. I mean I've watched you with

376
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 4: your workouts. You work hard. You are bigger, faster, stronger, twitchier,

377
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: more flexible. You know, team team notices, the teammates noticed that,

378
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 4: coaches noticed it.

379
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: What do you do? I mean, you go to Hawaii

380
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: for part of the off season.

381
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 6: Don't you like for two weeks.

382
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks.

383
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, So do you work out with somebody at Hawaii

384
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: or who do you work out with here? Who's been

385
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 4: who's been the reason or part of the reason that

386
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: your body has transformed into what it's what it is now.

387
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

388
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 5: Well, when I go back to Hawaii, that's that's my

389
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 5: true vacation time.

390
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 6: So I'll take two weeks off.

391
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 5: And just hang out with my family and my friends.

392
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 5: But I go to train in Atlanta with a receiver coach.

393
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 5: His name is Drew Lieberman, and he trains guys like

394
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: a tight end. Evan Ingram, Darius Slayton, train with Jacobe Meyers,

395
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 5: all those guys. So he's really helped me just fundamentally

396
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 5: with my with my strength and my legs being able

397
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 5: to cut break and I obviously I just left really

398
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 5: really hard every day too.

399
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 6: So all that combined is is good for me.

400
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 4: Do you think that the off season, I'm you know,

401
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 4: I remember Paul Brown, the legendary first coach, founder of

402
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals. I remember he said to me at

403
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 4: the end of my rookie year. He said, I recommend

404
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: that you stay in Cincinnati and you work hard. I said, well,

405
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be staying in Cincinnati. Coach got

406
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: a place back in Massachusetts. But I have a guy

407
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: that that I'm going to be working with. Yeah, and

408
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: he said, well I'll can Can you have him contact

409
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 4: our strength coach and give you the program that we

410
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: want you to work on and work through. And I said, yeah, sure,

411
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 4: and that was the smartest thing I ever did. And

412
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: then the next year had first child, stayed in Cincinnati

413
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 4: and worked out with the Bengal strength and conditioning coach.

414
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, man, when you when you work hard

415
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: in the offseason and make strides, it carries over the

416
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: regular season.

417
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: Your numbers are going to go up. There's no doubt.

418
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, I think.

419
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just a guy that is not even

420
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 5: I'm not comfortable if I'm not working hard. So that's

421
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: kind of how I am. Yeah, you know, I mean

422
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 5: I'd take those two weeks off, but if I'm not

423
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 5: working hard, I am not happy.

424
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: Because you're permitted those two weeks.

425
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: You know everybody, and with Drew Lieberman, it's not just

426
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: strength and conditioning. He is a wide receiver guru. You

427
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: and Chase Brown went to see him together, correct, and

428
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: now you've kind of become pied pipers for the Bengals.

429
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: Charlie Jones saw the improvements you guys made. He went

430
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: Kendrick Pryor went correct. So clearly the work that you,

431
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: you and Chase did with Drew has had a big

432
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: impact on the team in general.

433
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, it's the receiver culture can

434
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: be weird because you see all these Instagram videos of

435
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 5: guys doing cone work and oh that looks nice. Oh

436
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 5: that guy's so twitchy and he's fast. But a lot

437
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 5: of that Instagram stuff is just for Instagram. It's like

438
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: it's like we call it, uh, we call it receiver

439
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 5: aerobics because it's just some guys just doing drills around

440
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 5: cones and they're not actually getting better.

441
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 6: And so I've found that.

442
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 5: I've I found Drew because he was he I was

443
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 5: like stalking Instagram pages of coaches I wanted to work with,

444
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: and he made Evan Ingram hold a plank for as

445
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 5: long as he possibly could, and I said, oh, that's

446
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: that's like a little bit different. I think that definitely

447
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 5: attracted me to him. And then we had a conversation

448
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 5: and then, uh, yeah, now we have a great relationship.

449
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: So Troy Walter is your wide receiver coach. Uh.

450
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: He works you guys very hard, and he said that

451
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 4: I love working with Andre Josevac told me because of

452
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: your work ethic, it's like you can never give them

453
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: too much. You know, He'll he'll accomplish it and look

454
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: at you like, is that all there is? Isn't there anymore?

455
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: And he said, you know, he's the hardest, the hardest

456
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: working guy I've ever been around. And he played himself

457
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 4: in the National Football League and he played with great

458
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: receivers and great quarterbacks, so he knows of what he speaks.

459
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: What does that make me feel like when you hear

460
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: that kind of a compliment from your wide receiver coach

461
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 4: who played.

462
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

463
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's I mean, it's great.

464
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 5: And I have a lot of respect for coach Troit too,

465
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: so we're always talking. I think like as I've grown

466
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 5: older and started, you know, he really sees my work

467
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 5: ethic and how much I love the game, he starts

468
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: to respect me more. And so we have a really

469
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 5: great relationship and I'm glad that he sees I'm glad

470
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 5: the coaches see it. Because I only have so much

471
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: time in the league, and especially coming into an offense

472
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 5: with already so many weapons, I figured I had to

473
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: make my way somewhere.

474
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, five catches eighty two yards last week against Detroit.

475
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: That statistical games so far this year. Obviously, Jamar and

476
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: t command a lot of attention from opposing defenses. Did

477
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: you feel like that was a step forward in terms of, hey,

478
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: let's use Andre Moore if other teams are going to

479
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 2: devote so much attention to those two.

480
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I've always internally felt like that. I'm

481
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 5: not always a guy to like, you know, there's so

482
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 5: many guys asking for targets and said, okay, here's another

483
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 5: dude asking for a target. But so I just try

484
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 5: to get open every every route I can, every winning

485
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 5: route I need to win, which I do, and if

486
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 5: I keep constantly putting it on film, people will see it,

487
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 5: the coaches will see it, and I think that definitely

488
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 5: last week was a big step forward for me.

489
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase triple crown receptions, yards, touchdowns led the National

490
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 4: Football League across the board, established himself as one of

491
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 4: the greatest of all time, if not the greatest. T

492
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 4: Higgins six or four plus two hundred and twenty pounds plus,

493
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 4: very unique, twitchy for such a big guy, incredible hands,

494
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: hand strength good and and then Andre Josi Bosh the

495
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 4: third receiver. Slot receiver can move either side of the

496
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 4: football field, and the sock can play outside as well.

497
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 4: And is that one of the big biggest attributes with

498
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: your wide receiver corps that your quarterbacks appreciate the versatility

499
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 4: that each and every one of you guys possessed.

500
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's I mean, because me and Jamar

501
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 5: and team will sometimes play in the slot too, but

502
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 5: if you have Jamar moving around, it confuses the defense.

503
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 5: And so I'm the guy I honestly was more comfortable

504
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 5: on the outside, and then last year was my first

505
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 5: time in the slot. I mean, I think it's really

506
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 5: expanding my game, which I'm really grateful for. But if

507
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 5: you can just move Jamar anywhere on the field, the

508
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 5: defense will have to shift. You can tell what they're

509
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 5: trying to do, and it just makes the life of

510
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 5: the quarterback and the offensive coordinator a lot easier. So

511
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 5: it's great that we can all we're all so diverse.

512
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, big challenge this week at Green Bay. The

513
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: first two weeks of the season, it looked like the

514
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: Packers had the best defense in the NFL. It's hasn't

515
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: been quite as tough since, but still, the crowd noise

516
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 2: is going to be intense, and they've got Micah Parsons

517
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: and you guys are gonna have to play well yeah.

518
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: I think we're ready for the challenge. Like I said,

519
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 5: at the in the fourth quarter of the Lions game,

520
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: we scored twenty one points, so it's it's there for

521
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 5: the taking. We just need to be more consistent, and

522
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 5: I think we're making it a big point to just

523
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 5: you know, really, you know, hammer the details, communicate as

524
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 5: much as we can take the players that are there.

525
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 5: And you know, we have a good team. We have

526
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 5: a bunch of good players on offense. Our defense is

527
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 5: honestly playing great. I think sometimes like the offense will

528
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 5: put them in bad situations with short fields and all

529
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff, so they're really they're holding their

530
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 5: own for what they've given. And once we all put

531
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 5: it together, I think people will be People won't right off.

532
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 6: The Bengals, for sure.

533
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: The Green Bay Packers offensively, like you said, they have

534
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of good players. That's a

535
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: solid group, Iden. I mean their quarterback is capable of

536
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: putting up big numbers. I mean he can have big games.

537
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 4: They seem to just every position. Group might not be loaded,

538
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: but more than solid, you know. So, and then you

539
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 4: then you add in, like we're just just talking about

540
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 4: earlier crowd noise. I remember there's a player going up

541
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 4: there now, and it's no joke playing up there in

542
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: Green Bay with a with an unbelievable amount of crowd noise,

543
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 4: you can't hear yourself think. I mean, at the end

544
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: of the game, you end up with a with a

545
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 4: headache for crying out loud. Yeah, you know, because the

546
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 4: crowd is uh is so deafening in such a pain

547
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 4: in the butt, uh, And they pride themselves on it,

548
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: no question about it. What's it like playing in that

549
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 4: in that in those conditions.

550
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first the first time I ever felt like

551
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 5: that was last year at Arrowhead and then the Ravens

552
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 5: Thursday night game where you actually can't you can't hear

553
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 5: what the right backs saying, right, so you bet you

554
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 5: gotta hope you hear like one part of the play

555
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 5: call and hope you remember you ran it on Thursday's practice, right,

556
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 5: and you're like, okay, Jamar's here, Te's here, all right,

557
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 5: so he's motioning that means I got.

558
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: To run this. You know.

559
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 5: It's sometimes it comes down to remembering the play that

560
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 5: you ran one time on a Wednesday practice, and so

561
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 5: that's just that's that's why those home and away games.

562
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 6: I think it makes Copeball really fun.

563
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 2: To be sure it is going to be fun on Sunday.

564
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: Lambeau is a special place. Bengals haven't been there for

565
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: eight years. They do have three wins on the road

566
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 2: over the years against the Packers. We'll see if they

567
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: get number four this Sunday at four to twenty five.

568
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: We're going to take a time out when we come back.

Speaker 2: with our special guest in the first hour, Bengals third

577
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 2: year wide receiver andre Yosi Vash. Let's hear from Bengals

578
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher speaking about tonight's special guest.

579
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 8: He's the perfect example of a guy that you take

580
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 8: late in the draft because of his physical gifts.

581
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: He's got tremendous intelligence.

582
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 8: Right, So you got a smart guy with physical gifts

583
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 8: coming from a small school entering the big pond, right

584
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 8: and having to figure out what that means and the

585
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 8: physicality that comes with that and the consistency that we

586
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 8: need out of him to be the passing attack that

587
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 8: we want to be. So he makes a jump from

588
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 8: year one to two, now from two to three. You

589
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: see the confidence, you see the chest out, you see

590
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 8: just how he carries himself like he believes that he's

591
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 8: like those other two guys, and he's making steps to

592
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 8: get there. And in a lot of other buildings he

593
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 8: would have the opportunity that at T. Higgins has And

594
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 8: so when you don't have that same volume, he knows

595
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 8: that when the ball does come his way, he's got

596
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 8: to take advantage of it. And I just think you've

597
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 8: seen the confidence grow, super proud of his progression, and

598
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 8: I think you're only going to see him continue.

599
00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: To get better.

600
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: What was the adjustment like Princeton to the NFL.

601
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 5: I would say that, I mean, it's not a different game,

602
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: it's just football, but there's definitely a lot more nuance

603
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: and you know, the windows are tighter, you know, it's

604
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 5: a lot more physical.

605
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 7: Uh.

606
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 5: They didn't man me up single too much in the

607
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: IVY League, so every time they would we were just

608
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 5: bombing on them. But I think, you know, if you're

609
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 5: a good player, good athlete, you should be able to adapt.

610
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 5: I think it's a different game, but it's principally it's

611
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 5: the same. So it wasn't too It wasn't too big

612
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 5: of a jump for me.

613
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: To have your offensive coordinator, Dan Pitcher, fellow IVY leaguer

614
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: by the way, have the amount of confidence that he

615
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: has in you as a football player and more more

616
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 4: specifically as a wide receiver that it's like, hey, he's

617
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 4: one of our four. It's I'm good with whatever they do.

618
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 4: They can't cover everybody, they can't double everybody. You know,

619
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 4: Yoshi's gonna have one on one matchups. He's gonna crush you.

620
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: He's gonna beat him. He's gonna beat him to death.

621
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: What is it like to have a coordinator that has

622
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: that much confidence in you?

623
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 5: Well, it's great because I have that confidence in myself too.

624
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 5: So it's it's just about putting it on film and

625
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: having them see it and then understand like where I

626
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 5: can win and how I can help the game plan.

627
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: And I think if everyone's on the same page about

628
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 5: that stuff, it's just going to help our team win.

629
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 6: So I'm happy with it.

630
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: What was your draft experience? Like Dan reference that you know,

631
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: the Bengals took you in the later round seeing your

632
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: potential right and thought that that would be a good move.

633
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It was a long day.

634
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 5: I was very happy to get drafted because the Bengals

635
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 5: were the only team that took me on an official visit,

636
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 5: I guess, but I thought my agent was like, oh,

637
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: you're gonna go from like the fourth to the fifth,

638
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: and so I was waiting for Day three. But day

639
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 5: three is a long day, sure, and so I was

640
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: waiting hours and hours, and it was pretty much the

641
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 5: Saints or the Bengals, and the Saints are like.

642
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 6: We're gonna pick you here, bro, We're gonna pick you here.

643
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 5: And I was like, I don't know, man, it's been

644
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 5: like four hours, bro, Like, I don't know if I

645
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: can do it. So I remember, I was so anxious.

646
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 5: I had to like put my phone down. I told someone,

647
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 5: if someone calls me, just run the phone out here.

648
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 5: So I was just playing catch with my dad outside

649
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 5: because I couldn't watch the TV anymore. I was also

650
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 5: getting mad because I thought that was better than a

651
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: lot of the other guys.

652
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 6: But at that point, so many were picked that I

653
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 6: didn't want to keep up anymore. Right, And once I

654
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 6: got picked it it was a great weight.

655
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 5: Off my shoulders and I was happy to be in Cincy.

656
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

657
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: That drives you crazy, one. You know you're better When

658
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 4: guys are coming off the board, it's like, oh, man,

659
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 4: I could smoke that, dude, Come on, what do you

660
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: what do you guys see.

661
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 5: They had the IVY They had the IVY League bias.

662
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 5: I couldn't couldn't fault them for it. Yeah, it's like

663
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 5: why I picked someone in the IVY League when there's

664
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: someone with similar trades who played in the ACC or something.

665
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: So I understood it, but didn't have similar traits at

666
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: that point. I mean, by then, your traits were far

667
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: superior to the other guys. Yeah, on the board. So

668
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: there was an IVY League bias.

669
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, So I kind of understood that.

670
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm telling you there there's an IVY League bias. I

671
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: know that.

672
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: When I was coming out of high school, all the

673
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: IVY League schools I got recruited by and it.

674
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: Came down to Harvard or Princeton.

675
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 4: And decided that if I was gonna go to the

676
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: IVY League, it was going to be Harvard, but decided

677
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 4: not to do it and went to Syracuse, and uh,

678
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 4: you know it's you get you gotta, you gotta coach

679
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 4: like Troy Walters who played in the National Football League,

680
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: who was a really good receiver with the Colts and

681
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 4: others in the National Football League. The ward on him

682
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: was quarterbacks could always rely on he was going to

683
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: run the exact route exactly the way it should be,

684
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: I mean, with precision, never never made a mistake, never

685
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: blew an assignment, Reliable, dependable, accountable, all of those, all

686
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 4: of those kind of things, all of those abilities that

687
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: are you know, good abilities that you need to have.

688
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 4: What's it like being coached by a guy like him

689
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: who knows exactly what it's like, exactly what you're experiencing

690
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 4: on a day to day basis trying to become the

691
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 4: best you can be in the NFL.

692
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes it a lot easier going to work

693
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 5: every day because you have somebody who understands you as

694
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 5: a person, understands what you're going through understands the game.

695
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 5: And so you know, if you have somebody who's never

696
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 5: played the position, they'll be like, oh, you're supposed to

697
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 5: run the round this way against this leverage whatever, but

698
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 5: they don't really know what they're talking about. Was Troy,

699
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 5: you can kind of you believe him because he's seen it.

700
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 5: He's seen a lot of football and he's played the position,

701
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: so he knows when it's a very unfavorable position to win,

702
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: and he knows when you should be winning.

703
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 6: And I think that this makes life easy.

704
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: All right, We're going to take a time out. When

705
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: we come back, We'll talk to Andre about being a blonde.

Speaker 6: I used to die.

733
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 5: I used to buzz my hair and bleach it actually

734
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: every summer when I was a kid. Yeah, people used

735
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 5: to call me lemonhead and back when I was a

736
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 5: kid because that's what I would always do.

737
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: I don't think I'll ever go back to that. But

738
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 6: those are fun times for sure.

739
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: So you're a very skilled athlete. I mean you're a triathlete, right,

740
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: athlete the catholic.

741
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 3: So that's ten events, ten events, pull vault, But what

742
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: is there?

743
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: Liked jump, running, broad jump, discus, shop, all of it. Right,

744
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 4: that's running, running events and all that. Being a track

745
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: and field guy like you have been. And you started

746
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: doing that at a pretty young age, right, I mean

747
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: you you started getting.

748
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 5: Run and jumping and doing all that stuff.

749
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 4: Okay, So how has that helped you to become a

750
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: better football player? How does how do those kind of

751
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: that kind of skill set when those kinds of skills

752
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: transfer on a football field.

753
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 5: I mean, just being able to run and jump, I

754
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 5: think is a big thing. Just being a fluid It's

755
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 5: like being a fluid athlete, fast and kind of understanding.

756
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: I think I was blessed with this, but understanding kind

757
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 5: of like myself in space, like in the air. As

758
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: a pole vaulter, I felt like I picked that up

759
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 5: really fast, and I was one of the best pall

760
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 5: vaulters for a decathlete in the country. Really yeah, just

761
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 5: and I barely even practiced it. I just went and

762
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 5: did it. So I guess I just was blessed to

763
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 5: have everything that culminates into being a good athlete. Strong, fast, yeah,

764
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 5: and a big body.

765
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: You know. I always wonder with people that pull vault, Yeah,

766
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: what's it like the first time, because that's one of

767
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: those things that you can't pitch. You're doing right, sprinting,

768
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: jamming a pole into the ground and jumping over a post,

769
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 2: you know, twice above your head.

770
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 5: My well so growing up in Hawaii and my uh,

771
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 5: we call him uncle, but he was like a very

772
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 5: close family friend. He he competed for the US in

773
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 5: the World Championships as a pole vaulter, so I always

774
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 5: had kind of had him in the back of my head, like, oh,

775
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 5: be it to Kathy be a pole vaulter.

776
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 6: I was like, I don't want to do that.

777
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 5: So I think I first did it maybe like seventh grade.

778
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 5: He coached at my middle school, and then I stopped

779

780
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,120

00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 5: the poll and uh so I went to plant and

786
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 5: I pulled back too much on it. If you pull

787
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 5: back instead of planning it and pushing up, all the

788
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 5: force comes back right into the wall and I did

789
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 5: like a backflip and it was pretty scary.

00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,879

Speaker 2: sprinting four high hurdles, I mean grueling in and of itself.

797
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,399

798
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:18,520

Speaker 5: point differential and you actually have to run a fast

804
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: fifteen hundred and you're like, oh my god, like I

805
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:34,960

00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: a bucket list thing for fans. Is a players that

938
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: a big deal for you?

939
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, It's super historic, So I'm really excited to

940
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 5: go beat them over there.

941
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: That's what we liked, hear, that's the key.

942
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: I was very fortunate to play at Lambeau as a

943
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 4: player with the Bengals, but even doubly fortunate because we won.

944
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, win the game. It's a great playing flight home.

945
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 6: Do a Lambou leap.

946
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: Don't win me? No, I was no Lambeau leap. I

947
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 3: have about a two inch vertical.

948
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 4: They needed the Lambeau ladder, yeah, right, lap to do

949
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 4: the Lambar lap the Lambo cream.

950
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 2: Well, the good news is the tundra will not be frozen.

951
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: Should be a great day, and like you said, it's

952
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: gonna be even better when the Bengals bring home a win.

Speaker 2: first hour of our show. We greatly appreciate that, and

975
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 2: now we really turn our attention to Sunday's game on

976
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: the road against the Green Bay Packers. Huge news yesterday

977
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 2: broke that the Bengals have made a trade for quarterback

978
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco and he will start this week against Green Bay.

979
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor made that official earlier today. Let's hear a

980
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: few of the things that the Bengals head coach had

981
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 2: to say about his new QBA Joe Blacko.

982
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 10: Played him a lot, watched him a lot, brings great

983
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 10: great experience, great leadership. His style fits our style of

984
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 10: play too, so excited to get him out there. We'll

985
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 10: start him this week, so he's gonna take all the reps,

986
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 10: get ready to go. Already spent a lot of time

987
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 10: meeting with us, getting up to speed, so feel really

988
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 10: good about where he's at. I mean, it's different than

989
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 10: a young quarterback coming in trying to learn a system

990
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 10: and understand what a defense is trying to do to

991
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 10: challenge you. Not that, but he's played Green Bay this year,

992
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 10: so he's already gone through a week of prep. So

993
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 10: that's the nice part. Is now the communication and the

994
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 10: weekly rhythm is maybe different, unique, but he's already prepared

995
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 10: for this opponent, so he gets a chance to refresh

996
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 10: himself on that well at the same time just learning

997
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 10: our system and our terminology and our burbage and how

998
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 10: we operate GULFSA knowing that he's playing now, he hasn't

999
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 10: played there this year and so the crowd and noise

1000
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 10: and all that stuff is different. But at least he's

1001
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 10: got some experience pointing in him.

1002
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 2: He's a great pastor.

1003
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 10: And again, we've got to expand all areas of our

1004
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 10: offense to be better, to be able to efficient run

1005
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 10: the football, protect all that kind of stuff. But the

1006
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 10: number one trait you're looking for is a guy that

1007
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 10: can operate your system in for the football, and Joe

1008
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 10: has always been a tremendous passer in this league and

1009
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 10: I've seen it, and so now we've got treminous weapons

1010
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 10: that he can play around, and so I'm excited to

1011
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 10: watch him do it.

1012
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 2: Lap Jake Browning got three starts, unfortunately, simply didn't play well,

1013
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: certainly nothing close to what he showed two years ago

1014
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 2: when he got the opportunity to start seven games. So

1015
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: the rumor mill had started to turn. We heard the

1016
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: names Russell Wilson and Thomas Winston. They've both been on

1017
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 2: the bench for the New York Giants. Andy Dalton's name

1018
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 2: even popped up. He's backing up with the Carolina Panthers.

1019
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I really had not heard of Joe

1020
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: Flacco being a possibility, So that part of it excite

1021
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: has surprised me, not the fact that they made a trade,

1022
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: but that he turned out to be the guy. What

1023
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: was your reaction and what can Joe Flaco do for

1024
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: this offense?

1025
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1026
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 4: My my initial reaction was, like we talked about earlier,

1027
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 4: I can't believe the Cleveland Browns decided to pull that,

1028
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 4: you know, pull it off, pull the trade. I just don't.

1029
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 2: I don't.

1030
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 4: I don't understand why they They felt the uh, the

1031
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 4: urge to to help the Cincinnati Bengals win football games.

1032
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 4: The Bengals are struggling with the quarterback position. Jake Browning unfortunately,

1033
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 4: you know, the bottom fell out on him a little bit,

1034
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 4: and uh, and he's struggling and in the Cleveland Browns

1035
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 4: give the Bengals the way out and that that was

1036
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 4: just shocking to me.

1037
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: It really was.

1038
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 4: With that said, I think that Joe Flacco is going

1039
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 4: to do a really good job. I think that there

1040
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 4: are components here that that Joe can can really take

1041
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 4: advantage of and uh and and and make some make

1042
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 4: some noise in the in the division, in the conference,

1043
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 4: in the league.

1044
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 6: You know.

1045
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 4: I I think I think he's got some magic left

1046
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 4: in that arm. I think he can he can make

1047
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 4: make throws that they were hoping Jake was going to

1048
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 4: be able to make for him and andre Yosi Vash

1049
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 4: talked about the deep ball. I mean, there's still a

1050
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 4: zip on that deep ball. RPM's and that bad boy,

1051
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 4: but it's it's catchable. It's it's you know, it's not

1052
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 4: it's not gonna break your hands.

1053
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 3: It's soft.

1054
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 4: You can tuck it and put it away, secure it,

1055
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 4: keep it from uh, keep from turning it over, and

1056
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 4: then you can concentrate on making moves and lateral movement,

1057
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 4: make people miss the yards after catch, yards after contact,

1058
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 4: score touchdowns.

1059
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 2: So when Jake Browning threw three touchdown passes in the

1060
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 2: fourth quarter last week and led the Bengals on touchdown

1061
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: drives on three straight series, I thought to my saying, Okay,

1062
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: this is the guy that we saw two years ago.

1063
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: Maybe this is a sign that he can get it

1064
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 2: going and you know, still hold things in check and

1065
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow hopefully comes back. Then I heard him at

1066
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: his postgame news conference after the game, and he was

1067
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 2: so in his own head, you know, worried about costing

1068
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 2: the team the game. And yeah, I mean, the interception's hurt.

1069
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: But when I heard that, my mind kind of changed

1070
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: to thinking, I'm not sure that he's going to be

1071
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: able to get out of this anytime soon.

1072
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think getting in his own head is a

1073
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 4: good comment by you, Dan. You know, football, you're in

1074
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 4: a stude football guy. When guys do that, it's tough.

1075
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 4: It's tough to turn the worm. You know, it's tough

1076
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 4: to work yourself out of that kind of football depression.

1077
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 4: You know as such. You know, you look at tape

1078
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 4: after the game, it's like you're kicking yourself in the butt.

1079
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 4: You know, Oh my god, how did I miss that?

1080
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 4: How did I not see that? Look at he's wide open?

1081
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 4: How can I Why did I throw the ball where

1082
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 4: I threw the football? Why did I put the ball

1083
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 4: in jeopardy By doing what I did, I'm hurting the

1084
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 4: football team. Yeah, I think it was just in his

1085
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 4: own head to the point of man like I said,

1086
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 4: the bottom falling out and what do you do as coaches? Well,

1087
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor and the organization decided Joe flackom make the

1088
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 4: call to Cleveland. Cleveland's willing to make the trade still

1089
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 4: stunning to me, can't believe it, but they did it,

1090
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 4: and hopefully it comes back to kick them in the

1091
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 4: butt multiple times here here.

1092
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: So the Bengals are two and three. We mentioned earlier

1093
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: that the Ravens are one and four, the Chiefs are

1094
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: two and three. The AFC really seems like it's attainable,

1095
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: particularly the AFC North, and you definitely had this sense

1096
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: in the locker room today that this has given everybody

1097
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: a lift. They didn't want to use those words and

1098
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: make Jake Browning feel even worse, right, but you could

1099
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 2: feel it in there today. Let's hear from a couple

1100
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: of Browns, Orlando Brown Junior and Chase Sprowed about the

1101
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 2: impact that this trade had today and hopefully has going forward.

1102
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 11: I think it's, you know, more so a message too

1103
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 11: from the front office and ownership, you know, letting the

1104
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 11: world know that you know that this is important to us,

1105
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 11: and we do see that we know that, and I

1106
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 11: imagine Joe Burrow will be back to at some point.

1107
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it shows that they want to win

1108
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 12: and winning as a priority.

1109
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 4: And yeah, I think making that move.

1110
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 12: I saw some stat online or something that they haven't

1111
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 12: made an indivision trade since like nineteen ninety nine. So

1112
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 12: I think it shows their commitment to this locker room,

1113
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 12: the coaching staff, and how much they believe in this team.

1114
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 2: So both Orlando and Chase clearly appreciating the fact that

1115
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: the front office didn't say, well, let's just hope it

1116
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 2: gets better, that they made a significant and abrupt move

1117
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 2: to try to change things right now, a.

1118
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 4: Historic move really, I mean nineteen ninety nine, like Chase

1119
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 4: Brown was saying, it is the last time that you know,

1120
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 4: a team made a move like that within the division.

1121
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's that's strong, that's a that's a

1122
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 4: big statement, you know, by the front office, by the

1123
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 4: general manager of the organization, ownership.

1124
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 3: It really is.

1125
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 4: I mean, they obviously were not when they when they

1126
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 4: looked at game tape, they didn't like what they saw

1127
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 4: the the you know, and and and Zach Taylor and

1128
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 4: Dan Pitcher, they all and other position coaches must have

1129
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 4: felt like we have to do something because there are

1130
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 4: players to be made out there and we're not making them.

1131
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 4: And and really the guy who is the uh, the

1132
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 4: leader of the orchestra is the quarterback. And the quarterback struggling,

1133
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 4: We're going to make a move there, unfortunately, and uh

1134
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 4: and see if it makes a difference for us.

1135
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 2: Now. I know a lot of people see the acquisition

1136
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 2: of Joe Flacco and they think, well, he's had a

1137
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: problem throwing intercessions in his career, and that's fair. But

1138
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: on the other hand, Jake was throwing the interceptions but

1139
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: also wasn't capitalizing on what was there. Joe Flacco is

1140
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 2: going to get the ball to a wide open Jamar

1141
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: Chase up. He's going to make the checkdown quicker than

1142
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 2: Jake had been making it. Yeah, and there might be

1143
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 2: a couple of interceptions, that's part of it, but he

1144
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: will take he will take advantage of more of the

1145
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 2: opportunities that unfortunately this year Jake has not been able

1146
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: to capitalize on.

1147
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, look, I look at Joe

1148
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 4: Flacco's arm as gunslinger ish, you know, I mean, he

1149
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 4: can he can rip it down the football field, but

1150
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 4: without the negativity that you think about a gun slinger,

1151
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 4: you know, not like not like Winston where he just

1152
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 4: is going to fire no matter what, and and rip

1153
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 4: the ball down the football field and look around and boy,

1154
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 4: everybody see how strong my arm is.

1155
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 3: Man, I just ripped that thing down the football field,

1156
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 3: goodn't I?

1157
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 6: So?

1158
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's a you know, you need more than

1159
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 4: that to play the quarterback position. A lot of great

1160
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the NFL did not have Howarzer's hanging off

1161
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 4: of their shoulder. You know, they didn't have a cannon.

1162
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 4: They weren't ripping the ball down the football field like that,

1163
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 4: but they threw with tremendous accuracy. And that's what I think.

1164
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 4: You know, Joe Flacco can do. Flacco can hit you

1165
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 4: in the right shoulder if that's what's necessary down the

1166
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 4: football field, left hip, whatever the case may be. Joe

1167
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 4: Flacco can put the football in tight spots. And when

1168
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 4: you're trying to get the ball down the field against

1169
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 4: tight coverage or decent coverage, that's important.

1170
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 2: Time for a quick time out. When we come back,

1171
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: we'll head to Green Bay and talk to the voice

1184
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Bengals Game Plan Show. Appreciate you of

Speaker 2: taking some time out of your schedule to join us tonight.

1186
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 9: Great to be with you, guys. I wish I was

1187
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 9: there in person. It sounds like a good place to be.

1188
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 2: That is accurate, good food, frosty beverages, and a great

1189
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: crowd tonight. We appreciate the Bengals fans who are with

1190
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 2: us here tonight. So Wayne, let's start with maybe the

1191
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 2: biggest news in the early portion of the NFL season,

1192
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 2: and that was the Packers trade for Micah Parsons. Gave

1193
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: up a Pro bowler and a couple of first round

1194
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 2: draft for pat draft picks. Excuse me, but it makes sense.

1195
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 2: Mike is in his prime, might be the best defensive

1196
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: player in the league. He's right up there with Miles

1197
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 2: Garrett and maybe one or two others. What has that

1198
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 2: done for the Green Bay Packers defense and chances of

1199
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: winning a Super Bowl?

1200
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you know what it's made. It's given that

1201
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 9: defense as certain swagger that maybe it didn't have before.

1202
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,479
Speaker 9: It was a good defense last year. There's no question,

1203
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 9: a top ten defense, but they feel Micah Parsons can

1204
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 9: maybe push them over the top. He gives them, you know,

1205
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 9: he makes the four man rush effective in terms of

1206
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 9: pass rush, and that's something that they struggled with year ago.

1207
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 9: And Jeff Hafley, the defensive coordinated, at a tremendous job

1208
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 9: of generating pass rush pressure and getting sacked, but he

1209
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 9: had to do it with blitzing and that type of thing.

1210
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 9: They're more prone today to be a four man pass rush,

1211
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 9: and that's what they were hoping to be when all

1212
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 9: this whole thing was put together, and so Micah Parson,

1213
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 9: and he makes the people around him better. You know,

1214
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 9: up until last week, Rashan Gary was leading the league

1215
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 9: in sacks, and you know that's that's the difference. Having

1216
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 9: Parsons on one side and Gary on the other side

1217
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 9: makes Rashan Gary much more effective because he's not facing

1218
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 9: as many double teams right on way.

1219
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 4: And there's no doubt, I mean, I bet when when

1220
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 4: the trade was made for Shawn Garry was probably the

1221
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 4: most appreciative guy in the organization. It's like, man, finally

1222
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 4: I got somebody else on the other side that's gonna

1223
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 4: take take some of the pressure off and he'll be

1224
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 4: facing a lot of the double teams. When I watched

1225
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 4: the Green Bay Packers defense on tape, I'll tell you

1226
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 4: the Parson is pretty stout in the running game.

1227
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: Now.

1228
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 4: He plays the run. He doesn't, you know, he doesn't

1229
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 4: just kind of show up or really not show up

1230
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 4: for a couple of snaps and then hope, hope for

1231
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 4: a third and a long and see if I can

1232
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 4: sack a quarterback and increase my sack numbers. Run a

1233
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 4: big total on sacks for the season. This guy's a

1234
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 4: complete football player. He plays both sides of the Dubney.

1235
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, he does. And you know that's something he kind

1236
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 9: of got a bad rapt by Kerry Jones about his

1237
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 9: run defense. But you know what we've seen, he's been

1238
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 9: very solid in holding the edge and making plays in

1239
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 9: the running game. So that's helped a lot. I mean,

1240
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 9: the Packers are giving up seventy seven yards rushing, second

1241
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 9: in the league. You know, they had a little bit

1242
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 9: more of a rough day in Dallas. Dallas got a

1243
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 9: season high one hundred and seventeen rushing yards against them,

1244
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 9: But that game was a track meet, so you know,

1245
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 9: I don't know how much you can put into the

1246
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 9: defensive figures of that game.

1247
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: The voice of the Packers, Wayne Larabee, is our guest.

1248
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 2: Green Bay opened with very impressive wins over Detroit and Washington.

1249
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Attention was growing. People were talking about this team as

1250
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 2: a real Super Bowl favorite. Then they laid an egg

1251
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. What happened in that Cleveland game.

1252
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 9: You know, Dan, I mean they had control of that game,

1253
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 9: they really did. I mean, they were struggling offensively. Cleveland's

1254
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 9: defensive line dominated the Packers offensive line. The Packers have

1255
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 9: had some injuries in their offensive line, Zach Tom probably

1256
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 9: their best offensive line, been played one play in that

1257
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 9: game and went out with an injury that he came

1258
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 9: into the game with. Meanwhile, you know the left guard,

1259
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 9: you know Banks, whom they acquired from San Francisco, kind

1260
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 9: of a road grader in the running game, Aaron Banks.

1261
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 9: He's missed seven He's missed seven games last year and

1262
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 9: he's missed two now this year. So having components of

1263
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 9: the offensive line down and having to shuffle that line

1264
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 9: against the Cleveland front that you guys saw opening I

1265
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 9: believe it was Opening Day. It's pretty good, pretty good unit,

1266
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 9: and you want to be at your best when you're

1267
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 9: going up against that group. So they struggled offensively, defensively,

1268
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 9: they're in command of that ballgame. And then the special

1269
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 9: teams issue occurred and they had a field goal block

1270
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 9: and boom, all of a sudden, you know, Cincinnati was

1271
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 9: or I should say Cleveland was back in the game

1272
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 9: and snuck away with a win.

1273
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1274
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 4: Special teams, I mean the all important third third phase offense, defense.

1275
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 4: Special teams. I all have to kind of lean on

1276
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 4: each other, and one is as important as the other.

1277
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 3: There's no question.

1278
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 4: Let's talk a little bit about Joe Flacco. What did

1279
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 4: you think of Joe Flacco in that football game? How

1280
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 4: did he perform against the Green Bay Packers?

1281
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 9: To your eye, Well, you know, and and studying him

1282
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 9: they going into the game. He can still fling it

1283
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 9: and he can still get a downfield. Two things happen

1284
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 9: in Cleveland. Number One, they were just starting to find

1285
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 9: their running back and that kid that they drafted in

1286
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 9: the second round is going to be a really good runner.

1287
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 9: But they really don't have a solid round game. They

1288
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 9: couldn't protect the court. They just can't protect blackout and

1289
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 9: that's the problem that he had. So so much of

1290
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 9: what he was doing leading into that game was check

1291
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 9: down stuff and really short stuff. And then he hit

1292
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 9: a couple of passes against the Packers, but nothing out

1293
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 9: of the ordinary. He struggled. I mean, he did not

1294
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 9: have a great game against the Packers at all. And

1295
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 9: you know, going to Cincinnati now, and if they get

1296
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 9: him up to speed and ready to play this week,

1297
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 9: he's got better people around him to throw the football to.

1298
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 9: I mean, those two guys are number one receivers, both

1299
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 9: of them, and you know, Flacco didn't have anything close

1300
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 9: to that caliber in Cleveland. So if the Bengals can

1301
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 9: protect this guy. He can still get the ball down

1302
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 9: field accurately.

1303
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 2: Dayne Lairbe is our guest. Do you expect the Packers

1304
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: O line to be at full strength this week? And

1305
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: what about wide receiver Christian Watson? They just opened up

1306
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 2: his twenty one day window to come back from his

1307
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 2: knee injury. Any chance the Bengals have to worry about

1308
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 2: him this week? Boy?

1309
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 9: You know, I gotta tell you, Dan, from what I

1310
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 9: saw a training camp, from what I've seen at practice,

1311
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 9: and they've ramped him up a little bit this week.

1312
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 9: Now that he's actually in practice, I wouldn't count him out.

1313
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 9: But I wouldn't. My gut tells me, though, wait a week,

1314
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 9: you know, let him go through this week and then

1315
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 9: maybe his comeback has been stunning. I mean a training camp,

1316
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 9: it looked like he could practice and play, and you know,

1317
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 9: they held him out obviously, and they had him on

1318
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 9: the reserve list. And now this week these back at

1319
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 9: practice and frankly looks pretty good. To be honest with you, guys,

1320
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 9: I just wonder, if I know the Packers are very

1321
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 9: cautious with their people from a medical standpoint, I still

1322
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 9: think it's a long shot he plays this week, but

1323
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 9: I wouldn't count it out.

1324
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 4: When Joe Flacco was in Green Bay, I know you're

1325
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,040
Speaker 4: there all the time, talk of the coaches players. What

1326
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 4: was he like in the locker room?

1327
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,479
Speaker 3: What was he like with the coaches in the meeting room?

1328
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 3: I mean, what's his personality?

1329
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 5: Like?

1330
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 4: What kind of a teammate is he? What can the

1331
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals expect in those areas?

1332
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 9: What's Flacco?

1333
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 3: Yes? About Joe?

1334
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, from what I understand, he's a great teammate, and

1335
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 9: you know, he's a veteran presence, and he's somebody that

1336
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 9: saved this season for Cleveland two years ago and just

1337
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 9: you know, they they they're just kind of messed up

1338
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 9: a little bit right now and he wasn't able to

1339
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 9: do that behind that kind of protection. But I think

1340
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 9: that you guys will find he'll be a very good quarterback,

1341
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 9: very good teammate. He'll be a good chemistry piece in

1342
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 9: the locker room. That's what I'm saying.

1343
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 2: Wayne Lairvie, appreciate your time. I know it's busy this

1344

Speaker 2: Sam program the night before the Bengals take on the

1365
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers and Thursday Night Football. So we couldn't get

1366
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 2: a current player for the Wednesday night show. We thought

1367
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 2: you would enjoy the guy we do have coming out.

1368
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 2: I know you do, Sam Hubbard. That's gonna be an

1369
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 2: awesome show.

1370
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 3: It will be.

1371
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 4: I mean Sam knows everything there is to know about

1372
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, he played the Pittsburgh Steelers

1373
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 4: many times and played well. I mean, you know, Pittsburgh

1374
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 4: wants to run the football. Sam Hubbard is a depth

1375
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 4: at stuff in the run. I mean, that's that's that's

1376
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 4: his game. And it's interesting his teammates they miss him.

1377
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 4: I mean, they got a ton of respect for Sam Hubbard,

1378
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 4: and I no know Sam feels the same way about

1379
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 4: all of his teammates. So it'll be good to give

1380
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,479
Speaker 4: him out out and about in the city talking about

1381
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 4: Bengals football.

1382
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 2: One week from tonight six to seven at MVP Sports Bar.

1383
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 2: One of the huge challenges this coming Sunday at four

1384
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 2: to twenty five will be blocking Micah Parsons. Picked up

1385
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 2: just before the season by Green Bay from Dallas. He's

1386
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 2: been in the NFL for four years. He's had at

1387
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 2: least twelve sacks in each of his previous NFL seasons.

1388
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 2: The Bengals have faced him twice before. In his rookie year,

1389
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 2: he had two sacks, five quarterback hits. Dallas beat Cincinnati.

1390
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 2: Last year they faced him again, no sacks, no tackles. Man.

1391
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 2: The Bengals beat the Cowboys in Dallas by seven, so

1392
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 2: neutralizing Micah Parsons was a big key to that win.

1393
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 2: He did get some quarterback hits, right, but he didn't

1394
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 2: wreck the game. That's the key. He was mostly matched

1395
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 2: up against the Marius Mimms last year. This year with

1396
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 2: the Packers, he's been moving back and forth a lot,

1397
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 2: so Orlando Brown Junior and Marius Mims are both going

1398
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 2: to get their turns against Michah Parsons. But in any case,

1399
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 2: I talked to Amrius earlier today about that challenge of

1400
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 2: trying to block MICHAEH. Parsons in a Green Bay Packers uniform.

1401
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think Michael's the best d in

1402
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 13: in the NFL other than Miles Garrett. If you guys me,

1403
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 13: just the guys who I haven't played against, They're gonna

1404
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 13: be a challenge. It always is, especially on the road.

1405
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 13: It's gonna be a game where it's about me again, honestly,

1406
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 13: just just doing what coaches telling me. In practice, and

1407
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,599
Speaker 13: you know, how can you know, try to neutralize him

1408
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 13: as much as possible and knowing you know, he's gonna

1409
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 13: make his fair share of plays, you know. I mean,

1410
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 13: it's gonna happen with a guy like that. But really,

1411
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 13: like I said, my mind set is really to just

1412
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 13: you know, go out there and play the game football.

1413
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 13: Do I can play, continue to get better and you know,

1414
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 13: if I let woman like not let one mistake or

1415
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 13: one you know, one small minor, you know, step in

1416
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 13: that game and turn into like.

1417
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 6: The whole game.

1418
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 13: So, like I said, boy against a great player, not

1419
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 13: one of the best players on defense and ever, I mean,

1420
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 13: I think he's a good Like I said, you know

1421
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 13: he's a good player, but I know he's a good player.

1422
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:44,560
Speaker 13: But I said, I'm ready for the challenge, you know,

1423
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 13: like I said, last year, he was with another team

1424
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 13: last year who played in Dallas, and this year is

1425
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 13: gonna be in on Green Bay.

1426
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be fun.

1427
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 2: Last two weeks ago, Marius Mems had a bad game

1428
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 2: against the Denver Broncos. He's not shying away from it.

1429
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 2: He knows he had a bad game. He bounce back

1430
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 2: with what CO just say was his best game of

1431
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 2: the year last week in that game against Detroit. So

1432
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 2: hopefully he's trending in the right direction and he's getting

1433
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 2: going to need to be sharp on Sunday.

1434
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 3: Agreed, Dan.

1435
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 4: Hopefully he carries over the performance that he had in Detroit.

1436
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 4: Because Micah Parsons, like you mentioned, is a game wrecker.

1437
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 3: I mean he can. He can.

1438
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 4: You might be going on a nice drive six plays

1439
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,759
Speaker 4: into the drive and then I'll sudden, bam, Micah Parsons

1440
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 4: knocks your back ten yards or eight yards, whatever the

1441
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 4: case may be, and in your face and your off schedule,

1442
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 4: and you're you're in disarray, you know, and now you

1443
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 4: have to.

1444
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 3: Recover and recapture your poise.

1445
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 2: You know.

1446
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 4: He also is a turnover machine, causing turnovers left and right.

1447
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:48,560
Speaker 2: You know.

1448
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 4: He's capable of sacking the quarterback obviously that's a big

1449
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 4: loss of yards, taking away from your yard.

1450
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 3: It's total. He's capable of knocking running backs back for

1451
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 3: a loss.

1452
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

1453
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 12: He is.

1454
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 4: He's a tough, tough challenge. I mean, if he decides

1455
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 4: to take an edge on an offensive lineman, he's gonna

1456
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 4: nine times out of ten really win. I mean, the guy,

1457
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 4: the guy is that good. So you're gonna have to

1458
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 4: double him to minimize that total. Now you're you know,

1459
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 4: can you who else can you double? You know, you

1460
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 4: can only double two players on every snap normally, Doubling

1461
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 4: more than that just doesn't make sense. It doesn't work out.

1462
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 4: Numbers aren't your favorite offensively, so he is he's a problem.

1463
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 4: I mean, he causes issues for offensive linemen, tight ends,

1464
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 4: full backs, you know, blocking backs, tailbacks to double block

1465
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 4: on occasion. Offensive coordinators have nightmares the night before game

1466
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 4: worrying about do I have enough end to take care

1467
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 4: of Michael Parsons. We can't let him take control of

1468
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 4: the football game and make it his uh, can't let

1469
01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 4: him just take ownership of it. So yeah, it's it's

1470
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 4: definitely a challenge, and it's a big one. It's one

1471
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 4: of the biggest in the National Football League, and it's

1472
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting to see how Amarius Mims and others

1473
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 4: rise to the occasion.

1474
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 2: How do the Dallas Cowboys not keep that guy at

1475
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 2: twenty six years old?

1476
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, Jerry, what the hell? Honestly, that

1477
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 4: that one is a head scratcher, It really is. I mean,

1478
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 4: this guy, if he's probably been responsible for more negative

1479
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 4: players than any other defender in the National Football League.

1480
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,440
Speaker 3: He's probably you know, his negative.

1481
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 4: Play total is probably what a couple of players would

1482
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 4: have on another defense for a total number of negative.

1483
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 2: Players, same draft class as Jamar Chase. So it really

1484
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:51,879
Speaker 2: it would have been the same thing as the Bengals

1485
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 2: trading Jamar Chase instead of resigning.

1486
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 4: Unbelievable And for what what they get?

1487
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 2: I know, they got a lie what was the game?

1488
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they got a row bowler in two first

1489
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 2: round draft picks, so they got a pretty good price.

1490
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 2: And the Packers are also now going to pay him

1491
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 2: forty seven a million forty seven million, forty seven million

1492
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 2: a year. There we go going forward. So it does

1493
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 2: take a big chunk out of your salary cap, but

1494
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 2: so well does He's one of the best defensive players

1495
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 2: in the league now maybe ever, and he's in his prime.

1496
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 4: And same with Jamar Chase. I mean, you know, you

1497
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 4: can make the same argument. You know, why would why

1498
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 4: would the Cincinnati Bengals, you know, retain Jamar Chase?

1499
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 3: Also that very reason. You know, he's he's a big.

1500
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:39,440
Speaker 4: Time playmaker on triple Crown receiver catches, yards, touchdowns, playmaker, extraordinaire.

1501
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 4: Two of the best players in the National Football League

1502
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,839
Speaker 4: on the offensive side of the football on the defensive

1503
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 4: side of the football will be uh not necessarily going

1504
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,719
Speaker 4: one on one knocking heads with each other, but they'll

1505
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 4: be out there trying to create havoc and and and

1506
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 4: make positive players for their respective football teams.

1507
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 2: Michaeh Parsons ran a four three nine forty crazy at

1508
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 2: the scouting combine. How would you have tried to block

1509
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 2: Michaeh Parsons.

1510
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 3: Man, I mean, he's like two hundred and fifty pounds.

1511
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 2: Two fifty exactly. Let me come on, exactly four four four.

1512
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 3: At two fifty.

1513
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 2: Come on.

1514
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 4: That should be outlawed. That should be illegal. Honestly, it's like,

1515
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 4: how do you block that? Your hope, you hope and pray,

1516
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 4: you pray to the football gods the night before the game,

1517
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 4: and you're on the road, so now you can't hear

1518
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 4: the snap count.

1519
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 3: So now he's getting off.

1520
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 4: His get off is unbelievable when you're running a four

1521
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 4: to three nine and now he's getting off the football

1522
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 4: before you even move, so he's into you and knocking

1523
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 4: you backwards before you know what the hell's going on.

1524
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 4: I'll tell you the offensive tackle is going to earn

1525
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 4: their money on Sunday. It's not going to be an easy,

1526
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 4: easy day.

1527
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 2: Get those play calls in fast, Zach, so that the

1528
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 2: play clock is not winding down to zero and that

1529
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 2: the defensive ends can get a head start against your tackles.

1530
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely, I mean they're gifted enough anyway. Don't make

1531
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:07,840
Speaker 4: it easier for him.

1532
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 2: And that's for sure. All right, We're going to take

1533
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,759
Speaker 2: a time out. When we come back, we'll talk about

1534
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 2: the process of getting Joe Flacco ready to start on

1535
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 2: Sunday in a matter of days in a Bengals uniform.

01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 2: on the road to Joe Flackwood quarterback and pull off

1546
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 2: the upset this Sunday. It's certainly been an interesting twenty

1547
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 2: four hours or so for Joe flack go and for

1548
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 2: the Bengals. The trade went down yesterday, Joe Flacco and

1549
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 2: his wife drove from Cleveland to Cincinnati. They actually had

1550
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 2: somebody else drive them, Yeah, so that Joe could be

1551
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 2: on the phone with Zach Taylor and other members of

1552
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 2: the Bengals coaching staff going over the offense, talking about

1553
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 2: the play calls and so forth. They put those few

1554
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 2: hours to use over the phone.

1555
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 3: They didn't do a.

1556
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:28,759
Speaker 2: Zoom, didn't do a FaceTime. They did a traditional phone

1557
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 2: call and talked about things. And then Joe Flacco was

1558
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: in the building today. He took all of the number

1559
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 2: one reps at quarterback as they are trying to hasten

1560
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 2: the process to get him ready to start on Sunday.

1561
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 2: He's got a couple of former teammates on the Bengals roster.

1562
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 2: Flacco played for the Denver Broncos in twenty nineteen. His

1563
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 2: teammates included offensive lineman Dalton Reisner and tight end Noah Fant.

1564
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 2: In fact, Noah's first NFL touchdown catch was thrown by

1565
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco in any case. I asked his former teammate

1566
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 2: Dalton Reisner today, do you think Joe Flacco will be

1567
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 2: able to get up to speed in a few days

1568
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 2: and be able to play well on Sunday. Here's Dalton's answer.

1569
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 3: I do believe that he can do that.

1570
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 14: He is a sixteen year I don't want to out

1571
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 14: speak sixteen or seventeen year vet in this league. I

1572
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 14: think he's fifty nine years old, right, something like that,

1573
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 14: And I'm just kidding, he's like forty regardless.

1574
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 2: He's a guy that's.

1575
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 14: Gonna come in here and be a vet and know

1576
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 14: how to do that, and he's gonna be on top

1577
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 14: of his p's and q's. He's gonna learn the offense.

1578
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 14: He's about to go out there and command it and

1579
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 14: put his best foot forward to help us win.

1580
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 2: Lapp just how hard is what Joe Flacco is being

1581
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: asked to do? Come in on a Wednesday, start on

1582
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 2: a Sunday at quarterback.

1583
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 4: Brutally tough. I think it's a major, major challenge. I mean,

1584
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 4: there's no two ways about it.

1585
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 3: I just think I think.

1586
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 4: The difficulty meter it's peg you know, yeah, it's it

1587
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 4: really is. I mean, he has no prior knowledge or

1588
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 4: has never even looked at a playbook a game plan. Now,

1589
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,759
Speaker 4: the advantage he has is all that experience, all those years,

1590
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 4: all those different systems, there's going to be familiarity. He's

1591
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 4: going to see concepts, he's going to see formations, he's

1592
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 4: gonna see personnel groupings that will remind him of something

1593
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 4: that happened. It's something that he utilized from a game

1594
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:43,520
Speaker 4: planning standpoint elsewhere in his NFL career. And it's significant

1595
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 4: with the number of teams that he's been with, a

1596
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 4: number of different game plans in playbooks that he's been

1597
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 4: exposed to, it's really crazy. So I think he's the

1598
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 4: most unique quarterback in that regard in the National Football League.

1599
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 4: There's nobody like him, really, and he's gonna be able

1600
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 4: to tell his grandkids, you know, NFL stories, and he's

1601
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 4: going to be one of the big NFL stories.

1602
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 3: He'll be able to.

1603
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,600
Speaker 4: Tell his grandkids about the fact that he went to

1604
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 4: Cincinnati on a Tuesday and started a quarterback against a

1605
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 4: team that he already had played against on Sunday.

1606
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 2: You know, Well, that's the other thing I'm wondering, So

1607
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 2: how much does the fact that he played against this team,

1608
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, three weeks ago, how helpful as that?

1609
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,600
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine there's ever been a quarterback to

1610
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 2: beat the same team twice in three weeks with two

1611
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 2: different teams. There's no way that's ever happened before.

1612
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 3: Agreed, it's impossible.

1613
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never heard of anything close to it.

1614
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 2: But how helpful is it that he just faced Green Bay?

1615
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 4: I think immentally, you know, I mean, I think he's

1616
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 4: going to be able to retain a lot of information

1617
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 4: that he was up at night, you know, and during

1618
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 4: the course of the day in meetings, position meetings with

1619
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 4: the quarterback coach, meetings with the offensive coordinator, team meetings

1620
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 4: with the offensive side of the football, going out there

1621
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 4: to practice, taking reps uh on all areas of the

1622
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 4: game plan out in the out in the field in

1623
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 4: terms of, you know, your regular offensive package, red zone,

1624
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 4: low red zone packages, third down packages. He's going to

1625
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 4: have a lot of that information rolling around in his

1626
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 4: brain and and he's just gonna have to corral it

1627
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 4: uh in and piece it in with the nomenclature in

1628
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 4: the in the words that you know, identify what he

1629
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 4: needs to what needs to be triggered for him to

1630
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 4: execute it here in Cincinnati. So I think it's a big,

1631
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 4: a big plus. I think I think he's uh He's

1632
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 4: definitely been challenged. But I'll tell you, Dan, I did

1633
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 4: get a chance to sit down uh in in the

1634
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 4: locker area with him and listen to him talk to

1635
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 4: his teammates, and I asked him a few questions, and

1636
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 4: the dude is smart. I mean, he has immense football

1637
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 4: IQ is. He's no Dodo bird Man. This guy is

1638
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 4: nobody's school. He ain't no dummy. So I do think

1639
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 4: that the Green Bay Packers, they're gonna have to mix

1640
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 4: things up. Their defensive coordinator, their defensive coaches, their players

1641
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 4: are gonna have to think, you know, we're gonna have

1642
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 4: to do things a little bit differently, present things to

1643
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 4: him a little bit differently because he is a smart

1644
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 4: guy and he beat us, and he's gonna remember what

1645
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 4: he did to beat us. So it's not gonna be

1646
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 4: any walk.

1647
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 2: In the park. A common refrain on ESPN and elsewhere

1648
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,560
Speaker 2: has been a the Bengals offensive line has really struggled.

1649
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 2: They needed to go out and get a mobile guy.

1650
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 2: I understand that thought. But on the other hand, Joe's

1651
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 2: not gonna hold the ball forever. His offensive linemen are

1652
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 2: going to know where he's going to be, and it

1653
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 2: actually might result in fewer sacks, not more.

1654
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 3: It could, It could, Dan, I like the way you're thinking.

1655
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 3: You know, you're my kind of football guy. You know,

1656
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 3: I do think.

1657
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 4: I do think the offensive line already has a tremendous

1658
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 4: amount of respect for him. What I saw in the

1659
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 4: locker room today, they respect and trust Joe Flacco. I

1660
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 4: think they think that he's going to bring out the

1661
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 4: best in them. Like you said, Dan, I mean, he's

1662
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,440
Speaker 4: not a he's not a guy that's you know, unbelievably

1663
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 4: mobile with tremendous lateral movement.

1664
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 3: But he gets the ball out quickly. It's gone. It's

1665
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 3: you know, he makes us read boom. He goes through

1666
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:32,879
Speaker 3: his progression.

1667
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 4: It is out and it's out with smart pms, it's

1668
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 4: out with some zip on it, and he's saw on

1669
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 4: it accurately. He's hitting tight spots down the football field

1670
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 4: as well as anybody.

1671
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 2: In the NFL. All right, we're gonna take our final

1672
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 2: time out. When we come back, we will talk about

1673
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 2: one thing that we are definitely looking forward to this

1674
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,560
Speaker 2: Sunday going to lambeau Field. There's nothing quite like it

1675
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL. It's a bucket list experience. If you've

1676
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 2: never been, we'll discuss that next. And here from a

1677

01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 3: That's right.

1697
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 2: Most of all, thank you to the Bengals fans to

1698
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: coming out tonight where to appreciate all of you, Love

1699
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 2: all of you. All right, We are headed to lambeau

1700
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 2: Field this Sunday at four to twenty five. There's a

1701
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 2: sign at lambeau near the security entrance that reads, quote,

1702
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 2: this is somebody's bucket list. And that's how I felt

1703
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,639
Speaker 2: the first time we went there. We went there eight

1704
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 2: years ago. I had heard about it. The history. You know,

1705
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 2: it opened in the nineteen fifties. The streets nearby are

1706
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 2: named for Packers legends. The street addresses Lombardi ave for

1707
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 2: lambeau Field. So it's really cool. It's something that every

1708
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,839
Speaker 2: football fan should experience if you can. The Bengals defensive

1709
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 2: line coach Jerry Montgomery coach there for nine years, and

1710
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 2: I talked to him earlier today about returning to lambeau Field.

1711
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 2: You definitely feel the history.

1712
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 15: It's an unbelievable place to work and unbelievable place to

1713
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 15: play a football game.

1714
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 2: You walk through the tunnels and you feel it. It's neat.

1715
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 15: Even practicing there, there's an air about it. So and

1716
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 15: what's cool is when you pull in and you see

1717
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 15: now it's a little different now because people have tore

1718
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 15: down those homes and built massive places across the street.

1719
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 15: They're big tailgate places. But it's just it's a really

1720
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 15: neat environment. It's probably as close to college environment as

1721
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 15: you'll feel in most places. But yeah, neat venue, a

1722
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 15: lot of history and cool place. It is a cool place.

1723
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 15: Cool for me as a broadcast. But what was it

1724
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 15: like for you to play there?

1725
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1726
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 4: I was going to say, Dan, it was the most

1727
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 4: surreal experience that I had at that stage of my

1728
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 4: professional career because I was a young player and going

1729
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 4: to historic Lambeau, Like Coach Richardson said, I mean, they're

1730
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 4: going through those hallways and those tunnels. I mean, the

1731
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 4: history is unbelievable. And then you, uh, you know, you

1732
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,679
Speaker 4: work your way out of the tunnel and the fans

1733
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 4: are throwing every answer that they can throw, liquid or solid.

1734
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 4: Nothing that's gonna hurt you, but just you know, bothersome

1735
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 4: stuff and they're just they're on your case. Man, they're

1736
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 4: on your case big time, and you could.

1737
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 3: Run running out of there through that tunnel if you

1738
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,759
Speaker 3: were in the units being introduced.

1739
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 4: The offense was introduced when when I was playing there,

1740
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 4: and you know, spread out to the fifty yard line

1741
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 4: and peel off to the sideline and it's it's it's amazing.

1742
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 4: And then the national anthems playing. Your heart's just racing,

1743
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:47,759
Speaker 4: it's beating.

1744
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 3: One hundred miles, one hundred miles an hour.

1745
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 4: And then you go out on the football field and

1746
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 4: I mean you're playing against good football players.

1747
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 3: I mean the Green Bay Packers were good.

1748
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 4: I mean Lombardi obviously, they were historic, Paul Horning, Jim Taylor,

1749
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 4: Forrest greg I mean, they had they had, they had players.

1750
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 4: You know, they have great linebackers, great members of the secondary.

1751
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 4: They had it all.

1752
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 3: They had it all, and you know, I went away

1753
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 3: for a little while.

1754
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 4: Now it's starting to come back, and I think that

1755
