<v Speaker 2>that show from five to six. But in any case,

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about the big news for the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals have a new quarterback, about it signed yesterday.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 2>He practiced today wearing an unfamiliar number. He is wearing

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the number sixteen. I am speaking of forty year old

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Joseph Vincent Flacco, who will become the first forty year

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>old to ever play for the Cincinnati Bengals. They've never

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>had anyone forty and older suit up for them before.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>He's a bet eighteen years in the league. He's had

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>some tremendous highs. He led the Ravens to a Super

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Bowl title back in twenty twelve. He was the Super

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Bowl MVP that year, and you might be thinking, well,

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>that was a long time ago. He hasn't been very

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>good recently. But two years ago he was the NFL

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Comeback Player of the Year when he came on late

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>in the season, basically came off the couch for the

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland Browns and was tremendous in a five game stretch

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>that got them to the playoffs. So that's what the

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Bengals are for. They are hoping that he can breathe

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>some life into this offense. It's really struggled since Joe

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Burrow went down. Distribute the ball to their great skill

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>position talent and get this team back on track. To

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 2>stay in the hut and what has turned out to

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 2>be a topsy turvy AFC.

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean the Baltimore Ravens are one in four. You know,

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 4>really good teams in the AFC conference in general, ye

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 4>are just okay.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, Kansas City's two and three and they play

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>the Lions this week.

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, some five hundred team. You know, it's like what

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 4>so it's the season is far from over. And I

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 4>think because of that, the Bengals said, you know, we

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 4>got to go out and we got to get a

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 4>quarterback that's capable of performing at a pretty high level.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 4>And they targeted Joe Flacco and they got it done.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 4>They got Joe Flacco here in Cincinnati, and I think

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 4>one of the craziest things is they got a driver

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 4>to drive he and his wife from Cleveland down to Cincinnati,

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 4>and he was his life was just grilling him on formations,

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 4>plays motion, you know, skill patterns that they're going to

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 4>put together, how they're going to put him together, why

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 4>they're going to be putting together. What are they hoping

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 4>to accomplish by running these patterns the way they're going

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 4>to be run. So she was trying to get him

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 4>a big head start, which she did on the Bengals offense.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Dan Pitcher has spent every waking hour. I mean, I

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 4>think Dan Pitcher and Joe Flack are going to be

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 4>tired of seeing each other. I mean they're spent every

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 4>week an hour basically going over what the Cincinnati Bengals

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 4>hope to accomplish and how they hope to accomplish it.

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 4>I think I think it's exciting news.

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I really do.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I took my cap to the to the

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 4>Brown Blackburn family for going out and doing this. It's

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 4>not something they've done in the past. And again, like

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 4>you said, Dan, first forty year old Cincinnati Bengal player

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 4>in franchise history.

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>You know that's a landmark.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 4>Now, I'd like to have other landmarks this season that

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 4>don't have anything to do with the age of players.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:14.799
<v Speaker 4>Like to have landmarks wins, regular season wins, playoff wins,

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 4>maybe even a Super Bowl win. At the end of

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 4>the Super Bowl three times. Haven't gotten it done yet.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I'll see if Joe Flackel can do it.

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals are alone in second place in the AFC North.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>The first place team is Pittsburgh. The Steelers are three

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 2>and one. They don't really have a quality win yet.

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Right Their quarterback is older than the Bengals quarterback Aaron

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers is older than Joe Flacco, So I think Pittsburgh.

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>There's the jury still out a little bit there. Sure

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned the Ravens are one in four. They're racked

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.119
<v Speaker 2>by injuries. Don't know what's going to happen with Lamar

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Jackson in the short term. They've got another tough game

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 2>this week. They could very easily be one in five.

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>They play the Rams. The Browns are the Browns. So

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.799
<v Speaker 2>if you just look at the AFC North, the Bengals

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 2>are two and three, even if they lose this week

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 2>at Green Bay, and it's obviously a tough game, and

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>they've got a quarterback that's gonna practice for a few days.

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Even if they lose that game, their next three games

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 2>are home, all home games against the Steelers on a

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night. That's an advantage to play Thursday night, short

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 2>week at home. The Jets only winless team left in

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, right the Bears, who are five hundred but

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>not great. If you lose this week and then win

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 2>those three home games, you're a game above five hundred

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>going into a buy plenty of relatively easy looking games

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 2>after that, and the possibility that Joe Burrow comes back

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 2>in December.

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I mean you're in high cotton. If you can

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 4>go on that three game winning streak you talk about,

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 4>and if you can beat the Green Bay Packers, you know,

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 4>that's just added added fruit.

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 3>To the to the basket, you know.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's not like the Green Bay Packers are

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, heavy heavy favorite Andre Jose gooshin house.

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 3>It's a big guy.

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how about it spend some time with us on

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 4>his free time and we always do appreciate that. Dan,

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 4>right when when players, no doubt, when players give up

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 4>their free time to come out and be in the

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 4>community and see the see all the Bengal fans, Philip

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Gota come out to support uh, support you and to

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 4>support the team.

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 5>What do you think of the crowd as a packed

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 5>house in here?

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 3>For sure?

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 4>It's awesome, it really is.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's a nice little neighborhood too, Like driving in here,

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:33.040

<v Speaker 2>down yesterday. Joe Flacco joining the team. Former Super Bowl MVP,

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 2>A guy with a lot of skins on the wall,

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 2>as they say It's had a great career two years ago,

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>had this tremendous finish with Cleveland to lead the Browns

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>into the playoff center in the Comeback Player of the

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Year Award. What was your reaction when you read it

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>online or got a text or whatever yesterday that Joe

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Flacco is coming in.

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I was. I was getting a massage

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 5>and I just heard my phone going and yeah, I

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 5>was like, I got I gotta look at it. And

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 5>I was like, holy smoke, you got Joe. Like I

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 5>used to watch that guy when I was like eight

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 5>years old, like throwing bombs. It was crazy, and like

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 5>I saw him in the facility today. He's a lot

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.199
<v Speaker 5>bigger than you'd think. To man, yes, six six. I

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 5>just remember him throwing to like Jacoby Jones. I mean,

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 5>we don't like them here, But because I was a kid,

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 5>I didn't have allegiance to the Bengals, so that understood.

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you he can. He can still sling the football. Yeah,

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean his his arm strength is is about as

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 4>good as there is really in the league. When but

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 4>he had he throws it with touch. He throws what

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 4>comes out of his hand nicely, nice RPMs, nice nice

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 4>fin on the football. And the biggest thing is he's

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 4>extremely accurate. Is yeah, yeah, he can. He can hit

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 4>like if he has to hit your right shoulder, that's

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 4>where he's going to be left him, That's exactly where he's.

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 6>Going to be.

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 4>How big an advantage is when you have a quarterback

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 4>that is that accurate?

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean you can definitely.

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean he can throw it so far down the

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 5>field that you're scared that you know you're running a

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 5>slanter and under he's.

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 6>Just gonna rip the ball out your face.

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 5>But he guys with like big arms like that you

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 5>never know what's gonna happen. But he has a really

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 5>nice touch, like really easy to catch.

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 6>The ball has a nice spin.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 5>On it so it's not wobbling, right, and he throw me.

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 5>He threw me a deep ball today too, and I was,

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, I just ran under it like it was nothing.

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 6>So it was it was kind of nice to see that.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Cool talk to Chase Brown, your close friend after practice.

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Asked him about Placo. He said two things impressed him.

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Number One, the deep ball that he threw to you,

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 2>He said, that was very impressive. Secondly, he said, his

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.839
<v Speaker 2>ability to spit out the plays already.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was crazy. It's like he's been here though,

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 5>It's like he's been in the offense.

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Is that right?

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 5>I mean the first day to recite the plays right

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 5>back to the offense when Zach gives.

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 6>You the call, it's just is really really impressive because

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, we.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Have cans on it, so you call the first play

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 5>and then you have to call the second play as well,

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 5>and if the defense isn't a certain you know, in

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 5>a certain look, then you have to can to play

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 5>and remember what the second play is. And he was

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 5>doing that.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 6>Impressed, so I was, I was pretty impressed.

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 4>So we used to call that check with me. You know,

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 4>it come to line of scrimmage with a play and

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 4>you had a second player that if if they came

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 4>up with a defensive front or configuration that didn't like,

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, immediately you'd you'd get out of that and

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 4>get into that, uh, that more favorable snap. Right, So

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 4>he's already doing that. He's already like double dipping players

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 4>at the line of scrim Yeah, that's that's very impressive.

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Yet he's a smart guy.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Isn't he.

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's super smart. He's super calm. You know, he's

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 5>in the huddle, it's he's very he's a nonchalant guy.

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 5>You can tell he's been in the league for a

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 5>really long time, and uh, you know, a good a

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 5>good presence to have in the huddle.

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 6>For sure.

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you take this move as a sign that the

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.719
<v Speaker 2>front office believes in the rest of the talent on

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the team and that you guys can still ultimately wind

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>up where you intended to wind up when the season began.

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Definitely, I think that even even though we lost the

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 5>last game, we scored twenty one points in the fourth quarter,

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 5>and so, you know, there's signs of life there. It's

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 5>just we needed to be more consistent, and uh, you know,

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 5>they felt like Joe was a guy to do that,

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 5>and you know, a guy with that much you know,

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 5>a guy with that much experience under his belt and

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 5>who's been in the big games and who's played everybody. Uh,

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.319
<v Speaker 5>you know, I don't think I think they made a

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 5>good decision.

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 6>There, for sure.

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned that you watched Joe Flack on television when

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 4>you were like eight, you know, eight nine years old. Yeah,

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 4>and I'm sure there's I mean, there's a lot of

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 4>guys in the team that are in the same boat

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 4>as you were. A lot of guys about the same

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 4>answer as yourself. Yeah, with the Cincinnati Bengals, and certainly

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 4>is an old foot is not an old football team? Right.

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.959
<v Speaker 4>What's like when you're in the huddle and you look

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 4>at the quarterback and it's like, I remember that guy.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 4>I remember them talking about that guy when I was

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 4>a kid watching TV. He was the star quarterback. What's

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 4>like playing with the star quarterback?

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 6>It was a little it was cool.

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 5>It was uh we were making jokes of like who's

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 5>gonna ask for as autograph first? Like, oh, like, I'll

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 5>pay you one hundred bucks to go after as for

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 5>his autograph during the meeting or something, just making jokes

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 5>like that.

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.439
<v Speaker 6>He's actually such a cool.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 5>Guy that, you know, once you get over kind of

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 5>you know his history. He you know, talks like a

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 5>literary dude, walks like a regular dude, very down to

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 5>earth guy. I didn't really expect that, to be honest.

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Just before you joined us. We were kind of talking

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 2>about the state of affairs in the AFC North. Yeah,

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Steelers are three and one, but the Jersey and the

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 2>jury's still a little bit out there. The Ravens are

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 2>one and four with a bunch of injuries. The Browns

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>are one and four and obviously they've got their issues.

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Obviously this move is intended to put you right back

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 2>in the hunt with a record of two and three

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and nobody running away with a division.

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, I think they made the right choice.

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 5>They've you know, I mean, he's played for every other

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.199
<v Speaker 5>AFC North team except for the Steelers, right, So it's

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 5>a guy who's been around, who knows what AFC North

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 5>football is like, knows how to beat these teams. And

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 5>I think I think he just I think he has

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.959
<v Speaker 5>it and once he gets really the playbook down, then

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 5>I think are often should be moving like a machine.

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 4>What did you think and what are your teammates? What'd

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 4>your teammates think? When you guys got together in the

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 4>locker room and talked about the fact that the Bengals

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 4>made a deal with the Cleveland Browns AFC North rival.

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 4>Back when I was playing AFC Central Division rival, I mean,

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 4>so the Cleveland Browns to make a deal for for

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Mike Brown to make a deal.

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 3>With ownership of the Cleveland Browns.

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 4>For a quarterback when Cleveland knows that they're struggling at

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.559
<v Speaker 4>the quarterback position and really need one, and they provided it.

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 4>How unusual is that?

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 5>It was kind of weird for me because I was like, Okay,

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 5>we must have traded somebody, right, And then I just

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 5>saw we traded our our sixth round pick or fifth.

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Round or something, right, traded the fifth got us sixth right,

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>so they basically lost thirty spots.

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 6>In the right and then we got Joe and their pick.

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 5>So I'm not really sure what was set in the

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 5>back end there, right. Uh you know, I guess they

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 5>believe in their young dudes. Well, the starting quarter for

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 5>the for the Browns actually is from Hawaii. I'm rooting

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 5>for I never would have wanted them to beat us,

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 5>but rooting for him.

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 3>So there you go.

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I guess I guess it was a little It

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 5>was weird a little bit.

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, we're gonna take a time out. Our

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.080

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 4>I have to always learn from the other receivers, you.

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Know what I mean.

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 7>I learned from Chase, I learned from Charlie, I learned

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 7>from Jamain, I learned from everybody, and just do anything

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 7>to put, you know, put in my bag.

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>So so if he's taking those kinds of strides, knowing

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 2>that the Bengals have the best one two punch in

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the league with you and Jamar, it's this three headed monster.

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 7>Definitely could be you know, That's what we're looking forward

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 7>to doing. Obviously, y'all see him. He's got bigger, and

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 7>he got stronger. He didn't got faster, he's twitchier, and

0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 7>he's just he know everything right now.

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 4>And man, it's just it's been great.

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 3>To see.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>What to mean to you and you hear t speaking

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 2>to you that way.

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 6>It's nice to hear it because you know, coming into

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 6>the league.

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 5>Uh, he was someone I looked up to still is

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 5>and it's just a credit to the work that I've

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 5>put in every off.

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 6>Season since I've been in the league. And it's nice

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 6>to hear. But I still have a long way to go.

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 4>So you have worked. I mean I've watched you with

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:18.159
<v Speaker 4>your workouts. You work hard. You are bigger, faster, stronger, twitchier,

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 4>more flexible. You know, team team notices, the teammates noticed that,

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 4>coaches noticed it.

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 3>What do you do? I mean, you go to Hawaii

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 3>for part of the off season.

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 6>Don't you like for two weeks.

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 3>A couple of weeks.

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So do you work out with somebody at Hawaii

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 4>or who do you work out with here? Who's been

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 4>who's been the reason or part of the reason that

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 4>your body has transformed into what it's what it is now.

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, when I go back to Hawaii, that's that's my

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:45.400
<v Speaker 5>true vacation time.

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:46.679
<v Speaker 6>So I'll take two weeks off.

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 5>And just hang out with my family and my friends.

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.359
<v Speaker 5>But I go to train in Atlanta with a receiver coach.

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.199
<v Speaker 5>His name is Drew Lieberman, and he trains guys like

0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 5>a tight end. Evan Ingram, Darius Slayton, train with Jacobe Meyers,

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 5>all those guys. So he's really helped me just fundamentally

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 5>with my with my strength and my legs being able

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.120
<v Speaker 5>to cut break and I obviously I just left really

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 5>really hard every day too.

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 6>So all that combined is is good for me.

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that the off season, I'm you know,

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 4>I remember Paul Brown, the legendary first coach, founder of

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.439
<v Speaker 4>the Cincinnati Bengals. I remember he said to me at

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 4>the end of my rookie year. He said, I recommend

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 4>that you stay in Cincinnati and you work hard. I said, well,

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to be staying in Cincinnati. Coach got

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 4>a place back in Massachusetts. But I have a guy

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 4>that that I'm going to be working with. Yeah, and

0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 4>he said, well I'll can Can you have him contact

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.719
<v Speaker 4>our strength coach and give you the program that we

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 4>want you to work on and work through. And I said, yeah, sure,

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 4>and that was the smartest thing I ever did. And

0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 4>then the next year had first child, stayed in Cincinnati

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.440
<v Speaker 4>and worked out with the Bengal strength and conditioning coach.

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm telling you, man, when you when you work hard

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 4>in the offseason and make strides, it carries over the

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 4>regular season.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Your numbers are going to go up. There's no doubt.

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, definitely, I think.

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm just a guy that is not even

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm not comfortable if I'm not working hard. So that's

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 5>kind of how I am. Yeah, you know, I mean

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 5>I'd take those two weeks off, but if I'm not

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 5>working hard, I am not happy.

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 3>Because you're permitted those two weeks.

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.679
<v Speaker 2>You know everybody, and with Drew Lieberman, it's not just

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 2>strength and conditioning. He is a wide receiver guru. You

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and Chase Brown went to see him together, correct, and

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 2>now you've kind of become pied pipers for the Bengals.

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Jones saw the improvements you guys made. He went

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Kendrick Pryor went correct. So clearly the work that you,

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 2>you and Chase did with Drew has had a big

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 2>impact on the team in general.

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think you know, it's the receiver culture can

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 5>be weird because you see all these Instagram videos of

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 5>guys doing cone work and oh that looks nice. Oh

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 5>that guy's so twitchy and he's fast. But a lot

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.639
<v Speaker 5>of that Instagram stuff is just for Instagram. It's like

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 5>it's like we call it, uh, we call it receiver

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 5>aerobics because it's just some guys just doing drills around

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 5>cones and they're not actually getting better.

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 6>And so I've found that.

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 5>I've I found Drew because he was he I was

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.160
<v Speaker 5>like stalking Instagram pages of coaches I wanted to work with,

0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 5>and he made Evan Ingram hold a plank for as

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 5>long as he possibly could, and I said, oh, that's

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 5>that's like a little bit different. I think that definitely

0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 5>attracted me to him. And then we had a conversation

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 5>and then, uh, yeah, now we have a great relationship.

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 3>So Troy Walter is your wide receiver coach. Uh.

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 4>He works you guys very hard, and he said that

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 4>I love working with Andre Josevac told me because of

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 4>your work ethic, it's like you can never give them

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 4>too much. You know, He'll he'll accomplish it and look

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 4>at you like, is that all there is? Isn't there anymore?

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 4>And he said, you know, he's the hardest, the hardest

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 4>working guy I've ever been around. And he played himself

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 4>in the National Football League and he played with great

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 4>receivers and great quarterbacks, so he knows of what he speaks.

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 4>What does that make me feel like when you hear

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 4>that kind of a compliment from your wide receiver coach

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 4>who played.

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 3>In the NFL.

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's I mean, it's great.

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 5>And I have a lot of respect for coach Troit too,

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 5>so we're always talking. I think like as I've grown

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 5>older and started, you know, he really sees my work

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 5>ethic and how much I love the game, he starts

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.400
<v Speaker 5>to respect me more. And so we have a really

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 5>great relationship and I'm glad that he sees I'm glad

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 5>the coaches see it. Because I only have so much

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 5>time in the league, and especially coming into an offense

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.919
<v Speaker 5>with already so many weapons, I figured I had to

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 5>make my way somewhere.

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, five catches eighty two yards last week against Detroit.

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 2>That statistical games so far this year. Obviously, Jamar and

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 2>t command a lot of attention from opposing defenses. Did

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>you feel like that was a step forward in terms of, hey,

0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 2>let's use Andre Moore if other teams are going to

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 2>devote so much attention to those two.

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I've always internally felt like that. I'm

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 5>not always a guy to like, you know, there's so

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 5>many guys asking for targets and said, okay, here's another

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 5>dude asking for a target. But so I just try

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 5>to get open every every route I can, every winning

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 5>route I need to win, which I do, and if

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 5>I keep constantly putting it on film, people will see it,

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:23.959
<v Speaker 5>the coaches will see it, and I think that definitely

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 5>last week was a big step forward for me.

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Jamar Chase triple crown receptions, yards, touchdowns led the National

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 4>Football League across the board, established himself as one of

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 4>the greatest of all time, if not the greatest. T

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:41.640
<v Speaker 4>Higgins six or four plus two hundred and twenty pounds plus,

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:47.160
<v Speaker 4>very unique, twitchy for such a big guy, incredible hands,

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 4>hand strength good and and then Andre Josi Bosh the

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 4>third receiver. Slot receiver can move either side of the

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:58.119
<v Speaker 4>football field, and the sock can play outside as well.

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 4>And is that one of the big biggest attributes with

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 4>your wide receiver corps that your quarterbacks appreciate the versatility

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 4>that each and every one of you guys possessed.

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think it's I mean, because me and Jamar

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:12.840
<v Speaker 5>and team will sometimes play in the slot too, but

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.360
<v Speaker 5>if you have Jamar moving around, it confuses the defense.

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 5>And so I'm the guy I honestly was more comfortable

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 5>on the outside, and then last year was my first

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 5>time in the slot. I mean, I think it's really

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 5>expanding my game, which I'm really grateful for. But if

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 5>you can just move Jamar anywhere on the field, the

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:29.680
<v Speaker 5>defense will have to shift. You can tell what they're

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.919
<v Speaker 5>trying to do, and it just makes the life of

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 5>the quarterback and the offensive coordinator a lot easier. So

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.400
<v Speaker 5>it's great that we can all we're all so diverse.

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, big challenge this week at Green Bay. The

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 2>first two weeks of the season, it looked like the

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Packers had the best defense in the NFL. It's hasn't

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 2>been quite as tough since, but still, the crowd noise

0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:53.639
<v Speaker 2>is going to be intense, and they've got Micah Parsons

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and you guys are gonna have to play well yeah.

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 5>I think we're ready for the challenge. Like I said,

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:01.680
<v Speaker 5>at the in the fourth quarter of the Lions game,

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 5>we scored twenty one points, so it's it's there for

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 5>the taking. We just need to be more consistent, and

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 5>I think we're making it a big point to just

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, really, you know, hammer the details, communicate as

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 5>much as we can take the players that are there.

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:15.520
<v Speaker 5>And you know, we have a good team. We have

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 5>a bunch of good players on offense. Our defense is

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 5>honestly playing great. I think sometimes like the offense will

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 5>put them in bad situations with short fields and all

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 5>that kind of stuff, so they're really they're holding their

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 5>own for what they've given. And once we all put

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 5>it together, I think people will be People won't right off.

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 6>The Bengals, for sure.

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 4>The Green Bay Packers offensively, like you said, they have

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 4>a lot of a lot of good players. That's a

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 4>solid group, Iden. I mean their quarterback is capable of

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.640
<v Speaker 4>putting up big numbers. I mean he can have big games.

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 4>They seem to just every position. Group might not be loaded,

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 4>but more than solid, you know. So, and then you

0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 4>then you add in, like we're just just talking about

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 4>earlier crowd noise. I remember there's a player going up

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:05.199
<v Speaker 4>there now, and it's no joke playing up there in

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Green Bay with a with an unbelievable amount of crowd noise,

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.199
<v Speaker 4>you can't hear yourself think. I mean, at the end

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 4>of the game, you end up with a with a

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 4>headache for crying out loud. Yeah, you know, because the

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.120
<v Speaker 4>crowd is uh is so deafening in such a pain

0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 4>in the butt, uh, And they pride themselves on it,

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 4>no question about it. What's it like playing in that

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:25.640
<v Speaker 4>in that in those conditions.

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the first the first time I ever felt like

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 5>that was last year at Arrowhead and then the Ravens

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 5>Thursday night game where you actually can't you can't hear

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:36.919
<v Speaker 5>what the right backs saying, right, so you bet you

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:38.879
<v Speaker 5>gotta hope you hear like one part of the play

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 5>call and hope you remember you ran it on Thursday's practice, right,

0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 5>and you're like, okay, Jamar's here, Te's here, all right,

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 5>so he's motioning that means I got.

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>To run this. You know.

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:52.159
<v Speaker 5>It's sometimes it comes down to remembering the play that

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 5>you ran one time on a Wednesday practice, and so

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 5>that's just that's that's why those home and away games.

0:25:58.040 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 6>I think it makes Copeball really fun.

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.719
<v Speaker 2>To be sure it is going to be fun on Sunday.

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Lambeau is a special place. Bengals haven't been there for

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 2>eight years. They do have three wins on the road

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 2>over the years against the Packers. We'll see if they

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 2>get number four this Sunday at four to twenty five.

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 2>We're going to take a time out when we come back.

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:17.159

<v Speaker 2>par Here at five eight eight zero Chevy at Road

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 2>with our special guest in the first hour, Bengals third

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 2>year wide receiver andre Yosi Vash. Let's hear from Bengals

0:26:56.000 --> 0:27:00.879
<v Speaker 2>offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher speaking about tonight's special guest.

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 8>He's the perfect example of a guy that you take

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.200
<v Speaker 8>late in the draft because of his physical gifts.

0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 2>He's got tremendous intelligence.

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:13.439
<v Speaker 8>Right, So you got a smart guy with physical gifts

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 8>coming from a small school entering the big pond, right

0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 8>and having to figure out what that means and the

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 8>physicality that comes with that and the consistency that we

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 8>need out of him to be the passing attack that

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:26.919
<v Speaker 8>we want to be. So he makes a jump from

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 8>year one to two, now from two to three. You

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 8>see the confidence, you see the chest out, you see

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 8>just how he carries himself like he believes that he's

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 8>like those other two guys, and he's making steps to

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 8>get there. And in a lot of other buildings he

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.119
<v Speaker 8>would have the opportunity that at T. Higgins has And

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 8>so when you don't have that same volume, he knows

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 8>that when the ball does come his way, he's got

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 8>to take advantage of it. And I just think you've

0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 8>seen the confidence grow, super proud of his progression, and

0:27:57.440 --> 0:27:59.360
<v Speaker 8>I think you're only going to see him continue.

0:27:59.040 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 3>To get better.

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 2>What was the adjustment like Princeton to the NFL.

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 5>I would say that, I mean, it's not a different game,

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 5>it's just football, but there's definitely a lot more nuance

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 5>and you know, the windows are tighter, you know, it's

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 5>a lot more physical.

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:19.160
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:21.399
<v Speaker 5>They didn't man me up single too much in the

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 5>IVY League, so every time they would we were just

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 5>bombing on them. But I think, you know, if you're

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 5>a good player, good athlete, you should be able to adapt.

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.680
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a different game, but it's principally it's

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 5>the same. So it wasn't too It wasn't too big

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 5>of a jump for me.

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 4>To have your offensive coordinator, Dan Pitcher, fellow IVY leaguer

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 4>by the way, have the amount of confidence that he

0:28:46.360 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 4>has in you as a football player and more more

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 4>specifically as a wide receiver that it's like, hey, he's

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 4>one of our four. It's I'm good with whatever they do.

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 4>They can't cover everybody, they can't double everybody. You know,

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Yoshi's gonna have one on one matchups. He's gonna crush you.

0:29:05.960 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 4>He's gonna beat him. He's gonna beat him to death.

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 4>What is it like to have a coordinator that has

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 4>that much confidence in you?

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's great because I have that confidence in myself too.

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 5>So it's it's just about putting it on film and

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 5>having them see it and then understand like where I

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 5>can win and how I can help the game plan.

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 5>And I think if everyone's on the same page about

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:26.200
<v Speaker 5>that stuff, it's just going to help our team win.

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 6>So I'm happy with it.

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>What was your draft experience? Like Dan reference that you know,

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals took you in the later round seeing your

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 2>potential right and thought that that would be a good move.

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was. It was a long day.

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 5>I was very happy to get drafted because the Bengals

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 5>were the only team that took me on an official visit,

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 5>I guess, but I thought my agent was like, oh,

0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna go from like the fourth to the fifth,

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 5>and so I was waiting for Day three. But day

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 5>three is a long day, sure, and so I was

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 5>waiting hours and hours, and it was pretty much the

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 5>Saints or the Bengals, and the Saints are like.

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna pick you here, bro, We're gonna pick you here.

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, I don't know, man, it's been

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 5>like four hours, bro, Like, I don't know if I

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 5>can do it. So I remember, I was so anxious.

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 5>I had to like put my phone down. I told someone,

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 5>if someone calls me, just run the phone out here.

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 5>So I was just playing catch with my dad outside

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 5>because I couldn't watch the TV anymore. I was also

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 5>getting mad because I thought that was better than a

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 5>lot of the other guys.

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 6>But at that point, so many were picked that I

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 6>didn't want to keep up anymore. Right, And once I

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 6>got picked it it was a great weight.

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:30.960
<v Speaker 5>Off my shoulders and I was happy to be in Cincy.

0:30:31.400 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 4>That drives you crazy, one. You know you're better When

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 4>guys are coming off the board, it's like, oh, man,

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 4>I could smoke that, dude, Come on, what do you

0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 4>what do you guys see.

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:43.920
<v Speaker 5>They had the IVY They had the IVY League bias.

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't couldn't fault them for it. Yeah, it's like

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 5>why I picked someone in the IVY League when there's

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 5>someone with similar trades who played in the ACC or something.

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:54.160
<v Speaker 2>So I understood it, but didn't have similar traits at

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that point. I mean, by then, your traits were far

0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 2>superior to the other guys. Yeah, on the board. So

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>there was an IVY League bias.

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, definitely, So I kind of understood that.

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you there there's an IVY League bias. I

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 3>know that.

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 4>When I was coming out of high school, all the

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 4>IVY League schools I got recruited by and it.

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Came down to Harvard or Princeton.

0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 4>And decided that if I was gonna go to the

0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 4>IVY League, it was going to be Harvard, but decided

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 4>not to do it and went to Syracuse, and uh,

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 4>you know it's you get you gotta, you gotta coach

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 4>like Troy Walters who played in the National Football League,

0:31:31.560 --> 0:31:34.720
<v Speaker 4>who was a really good receiver with the Colts and

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 4>others in the National Football League. The ward on him

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:42.600
<v Speaker 4>was quarterbacks could always rely on he was going to

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 4>run the exact route exactly the way it should be,

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, with precision, never never made a mistake, never

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:55.560
<v Speaker 4>blew an assignment, Reliable, dependable, accountable, all of those, all

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 4>of those kind of things, all of those abilities that

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 4>are you know, good abilities that you need to have.

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:05.000
<v Speaker 4>What's it like being coached by a guy like him

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 4>who knows exactly what it's like, exactly what you're experiencing

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 4>on a day to day basis trying to become the

0:32:11.280 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 4>best you can be in the NFL.

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it makes it a lot easier going to work

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:17.080
<v Speaker 5>every day because you have somebody who understands you as

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 5>a person, understands what you're going through understands the game.

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 5>And so you know, if you have somebody who's never

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 5>played the position, they'll be like, oh, you're supposed to

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 5>run the round this way against this leverage whatever, but

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 5>they don't really know what they're talking about. Was Troy,

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 5>you can kind of you believe him because he's seen it.

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 5>He's seen a lot of football and he's played the position,

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 5>so he knows when it's a very unfavorable position to win,

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 5>and he knows when you should be winning.

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 6>And I think that this makes life easy.

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, We're going to take a time out. When

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 2>we come back, We'll talk to Andre about being a blonde.

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.360

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:33.520
<v Speaker 2>more this week as the Bengals take on the Green

<v Speaker 2>opportunity to get autographs, some pictures with Andrea Yosi Bach,

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 2>particularly now with these blonde locks. So last year prior

0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 2>to training camp, Joe Burrow with the buzz cut platinum blonde. Look,

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>you didn't go buzz cut, but you can go kind

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 2>of frosty tips. Yeah, it's getting a little darker now.

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:11.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, a little summertime, Like I was just bored too,

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 5>so I just was like, okay, I'll die.

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 6>I used to die.

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 5>I used to buzz my hair and bleach it actually

0:34:16.440 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 5>every summer when I was a kid. Yeah, people used

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:20.600
<v Speaker 5>to call me lemonhead and back when I was a

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 5>kid because that's what I would always do.

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 6>I don't think I'll ever go back to that. But

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 6>those are fun times for sure.

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 4>So you're a very skilled athlete. I mean you're a triathlete, right,

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 4>athlete the catholic.

0:34:36.280 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 3>So that's ten events, ten events, pull vault, But what

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 3>is there?

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:45.759
<v Speaker 4>Liked jump, running, broad jump, discus, shop, all of it. Right,

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:50.359
<v Speaker 4>that's running, running events and all that. Being a track

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 4>and field guy like you have been. And you started

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 4>doing that at a pretty young age, right, I mean

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 4>you you started getting.

0:34:57.640 --> 0:34:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Run and jumping and doing all that stuff.

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So how has that helped you to become a

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 4>better football player? How does how do those kind of

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 4>that kind of skill set when those kinds of skills

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 4>transfer on a football field.

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 5>I mean, just being able to run and jump, I

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 5>think is a big thing. Just being a fluid It's

0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 5>like being a fluid athlete, fast and kind of understanding.

0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 5>I think I was blessed with this, but understanding kind

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.759
<v Speaker 5>of like myself in space, like in the air. As

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 5>a pole vaulter, I felt like I picked that up

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:28.879
<v Speaker 5>really fast, and I was one of the best pall

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:32.440
<v Speaker 5>vaulters for a decathlete in the country. Really yeah, just

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 5>and I barely even practiced it. I just went and

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:38.279
<v Speaker 5>did it. So I guess I just was blessed to

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:44.360
<v Speaker 5>have everything that culminates into being a good athlete. Strong, fast, yeah,

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 5>and a big body.

0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 2>You know. I always wonder with people that pull vault, Yeah,

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 2>what's it like the first time, because that's one of

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.520
<v Speaker 2>those things that you can't pitch. You're doing right, sprinting,

0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 2>jamming a pole into the ground and jumping over a post,

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:01.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, twice above your head.

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:04.279
<v Speaker 5>My well so growing up in Hawaii and my uh,

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 5>we call him uncle, but he was like a very

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 5>close family friend. He he competed for the US in

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 5>the World Championships as a pole vaulter, so I always

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.239
<v Speaker 5>had kind of had him in the back of my head, like, oh,

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:16.600
<v Speaker 5>be it to Kathy be a pole vaulter.

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.440
<v Speaker 6>I was like, I don't want to do that.

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 5>So I think I first did it maybe like seventh grade.

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.360
<v Speaker 5>He coached at my middle school, and then I stopped

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 5>in eighth grade, and then I picked it back up

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 5>in tenth grade, and then I stopped because I didn't

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 5>really love it that much. It was fun, but I

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:36.319
<v Speaker 5>just wanted to run, so yeah, it was it was,

0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:38.880
<v Speaker 5>it was, It was good, and I I have a

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 5>whole in in my sophomore year of college. I broke

0:36:43.040 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 5>the poll and uh so I went to plant and

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:48.640
<v Speaker 5>I pulled back too much on it. If you pull

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:52.160
<v Speaker 5>back instead of planning it and pushing up, all the

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:54.799
<v Speaker 5>force comes back right into the wall and I did

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:57.680
<v Speaker 5>like a backflip and it was pretty scary.

0:36:57.760 --> 0:36:58.879
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, other than that, it's fun.

0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:01.879
<v Speaker 2>The final event is a distance run.

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it sixteen hundred meters? Yeah?

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 6>So the indoors one thousand, outdoors fifteen hundred.

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So you've competed in these nine things into the catalon, Yeah,

0:37:11.440 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 2>sprinting four high hurdles, I mean grueling in and of itself.

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:18.399
<v Speaker 2>And then they save the longest run for last.

0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 5>Ye.

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 2>No brutal is that event.

0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 6>Nobody wants to be there at that point.

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:27.040
<v Speaker 5>Everybody's dead tired, and everyone's just it sucks if you're

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:29.279
<v Speaker 5>like neck and neck with somebody in the in the

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.959
<v Speaker 5>point differential and you actually have to run a fast

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 5>fifteen hundred and you're like, oh my god, like I

0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 5>really don't want.

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 6>To do this.

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.880
<v Speaker 5>It's a because you're not supposed to so you're not

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:41.319
<v Speaker 5>supposed to train it necessarily a lot, because you that's

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 5>you turning your slow twitch muscle, right, So everybody there's

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 5>kind of just lugging around the track until until they're

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 5>finally you're helping.

0:37:47.800 --> 0:37:48.839
<v Speaker 2>You have a big point leader.

0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:52.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah jog yeah yeah, because even that point jogging it

0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 5>is still super tiring.

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:56.359
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, no, no, yeah, it's not fun. That's not

0:37:56.440 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 6>fun at all.

0:37:57.280 --> 0:37:59.279
<v Speaker 4>Let me so, have you ever run a marathon? Have

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:00.920
<v Speaker 4>you been crazy enough to run America?

0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Those guys are crazy art, Yeah, they're they're there.

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:06.480
<v Speaker 3>What's the longest distance race that you've ever run?

0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:07.840
<v Speaker 6>Fifteen?

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean in high school I never went over

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:11.320
<v Speaker 5>four hundreds, so really.

0:38:11.120 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 6>That was a big I was really scared of.

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:16.359
<v Speaker 4>That's a gut race though, one lap as fast as

0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:17.319
<v Speaker 4>you can around the track.

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean that is a gut check right there.

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, all the latic acid builds up and you're just

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 5>swinging your arms and hoping you're making it to the

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 5>finish line.

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeays are crazy, man. And we have a a Larry Roberts,

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 4>a basketball player track star, and he one of his specialties.

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 3>Was the four hundred yards for the meeting. Unbelievable to

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:42.000
<v Speaker 3>watch that guy.

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:44.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean he would draw a crowd because I mean

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 4>he'd win by twenty five yards, I mean blow people away,

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 4>and it's like this guy's a freaking machine man that's

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 4>not a human being.

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:54.719
<v Speaker 6>Super super impressive to wash guys who can just sprint for.

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 5>A whole last Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:57.640
<v Speaker 6>It's amazing.

0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean he came out of the gate like it

0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:00.080
<v Speaker 3>was one hundred yard dad.

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:03.600

<v Speaker 3>That's what we liked, hear, that's the key.

0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:54.279
<v Speaker 4>I was very fortunate to play at Lambeau as a

<v Speaker 4>player with the Bengals, but even doubly fortunate because we won.

0:44:58.640 --> 0:45:01.640

0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:10.840
<v Speaker 4>They needed the Lambeau ladder, yeah, right, lap to do

<v Speaker 4>the Lambar lap the Lambo cream.

<v Speaker 2>Well, the good news is the tundra will not be frozen.

0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Should be a great day, and like you said, it's

0:45:20.560 --> 0:45:22.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be even better when the Bengals bring home a win.

<v Speaker 2>Chevy at Road. Andre Yosi Boss joined us in the

0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:35.920
<v Speaker 2>first hour of our show. We greatly appreciate that, and

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 2>now we really turn our attention to Sunday's game on

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the road against the Green Bay Packers. Huge news yesterday

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:45.960
<v Speaker 2>broke that the Bengals have made a trade for quarterback

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco and he will start this week against Green Bay.

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Zach Taylor made that official earlier today. Let's hear a

0:46:55.400 --> 0:46:58.160
<v Speaker 2>few of the things that the Bengals head coach had

0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:01.480
<v Speaker 2>to say about his new QBA Joe Blacko.

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:05.120
<v Speaker 10>Played him a lot, watched him a lot, brings great

0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:09.200
<v Speaker 10>great experience, great leadership. His style fits our style of

0:47:09.280 --> 0:47:11.600
<v Speaker 10>play too, so excited to get him out there. We'll

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 10>start him this week, so he's gonna take all the reps,

0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:16.080
<v Speaker 10>get ready to go. Already spent a lot of time

0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:18.080
<v Speaker 10>meeting with us, getting up to speed, so feel really

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.960
<v Speaker 10>good about where he's at. I mean, it's different than

0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.680
<v Speaker 10>a young quarterback coming in trying to learn a system

0:47:23.960 --> 0:47:25.840
<v Speaker 10>and understand what a defense is trying to do to

0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:28.879
<v Speaker 10>challenge you. Not that, but he's played Green Bay this year,

0:47:28.920 --> 0:47:31.320
<v Speaker 10>so he's already gone through a week of prep. So

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:35.640
<v Speaker 10>that's the nice part. Is now the communication and the

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:40.280
<v Speaker 10>weekly rhythm is maybe different, unique, but he's already prepared

0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:42.840
<v Speaker 10>for this opponent, so he gets a chance to refresh

0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:45.200
<v Speaker 10>himself on that well at the same time just learning

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:47.279
<v Speaker 10>our system and our terminology and our burbage and how

0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:50.439
<v Speaker 10>we operate GULFSA knowing that he's playing now, he hasn't

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:52.000
<v Speaker 10>played there this year and so the crowd and noise

0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 10>and all that stuff is different. But at least he's

0:47:54.040 --> 0:47:55.239
<v Speaker 10>got some experience pointing in him.

0:47:56.080 --> 0:47:56.920
<v Speaker 2>He's a great pastor.

0:47:57.239 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 10>And again, we've got to expand all areas of our

0:48:00.239 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 10>offense to be better, to be able to efficient run

0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:05.279
<v Speaker 10>the football, protect all that kind of stuff. But the

0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:07.239
<v Speaker 10>number one trait you're looking for is a guy that

0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:10.480
<v Speaker 10>can operate your system in for the football, and Joe

0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:12.800
<v Speaker 10>has always been a tremendous passer in this league and

0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:16.360
<v Speaker 10>I've seen it, and so now we've got treminous weapons

0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 10>that he can play around, and so I'm excited to

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:19.120
<v Speaker 10>watch him do it.

0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Lap Jake Browning got three starts, unfortunately, simply didn't play well,

0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:27.319
<v Speaker 2>certainly nothing close to what he showed two years ago

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.600
<v Speaker 2>when he got the opportunity to start seven games. So

0:48:30.760 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the rumor mill had started to turn. We heard the

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.960
<v Speaker 2>names Russell Wilson and Thomas Winston. They've both been on

0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the bench for the New York Giants. Andy Dalton's name

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:42.720
<v Speaker 2>even popped up. He's backing up with the Carolina Panthers.

0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll be honest, I really had not heard of Joe

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Flacco being a possibility, So that part of it excite

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:54.040
<v Speaker 2>has surprised me, not the fact that they made a trade,

0:48:54.440 --> 0:48:56.440
<v Speaker 2>but that he turned out to be the guy. What

0:48:56.640 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 2>was your reaction and what can Joe Flaco do for

0:48:59.800 --> 0:49:00.520
<v Speaker 2>this offense?

0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:04.120
<v Speaker 4>My my initial reaction was, like we talked about earlier,

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:06.840
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe the Cleveland Browns decided to pull that,

0:49:07.120 --> 0:49:09.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, pull it off, pull the trade. I just don't.

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:09.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:13.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't understand why they They felt the uh, the

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 4>urge to to help the Cincinnati Bengals win football games.

0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:22.520
<v Speaker 4>The Bengals are struggling with the quarterback position. Jake Browning unfortunately,

0:49:23.080 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, the bottom fell out on him a little bit,

0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:29.920
<v Speaker 4>and uh, and he's struggling and in the Cleveland Browns

0:49:30.040 --> 0:49:32.040
<v Speaker 4>give the Bengals the way out and that that was

0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:33.759
<v Speaker 4>just shocking to me.

0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:34.400
<v Speaker 2>It really was.

0:49:35.520 --> 0:49:39.680
<v Speaker 4>With that said, I think that Joe Flacco is going

0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:42.359
<v Speaker 4>to do a really good job. I think that there

0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:47.279
<v Speaker 4>are components here that that Joe can can really take

0:49:47.280 --> 0:49:51.759
<v Speaker 4>advantage of and uh and and and make some make

0:49:51.840 --> 0:49:55.640
<v Speaker 4>some noise in the in the division, in the conference,

0:49:56.040 --> 0:49:56.680
<v Speaker 4>in the league.

0:49:56.840 --> 0:49:57.000
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:49:57.120 --> 0:50:01.239
<v Speaker 4>I I think I think he's got some magic left

0:50:01.280 --> 0:50:03.680
<v Speaker 4>in that arm. I think he can he can make

0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:07.320
<v Speaker 4>make throws that they were hoping Jake was going to

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:11.279
<v Speaker 4>be able to make for him and andre Yosi Vash

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:14.920
<v Speaker 4>talked about the deep ball. I mean, there's still a

0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:17.719
<v Speaker 4>zip on that deep ball. RPM's and that bad boy,

0:50:18.160 --> 0:50:21.920
<v Speaker 4>but it's it's catchable. It's it's you know, it's not

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:23.440
<v Speaker 4>it's not gonna break your hands.

0:50:23.480 --> 0:50:24.040
<v Speaker 3>It's soft.

0:50:24.239 --> 0:50:27.279
<v Speaker 4>You can tuck it and put it away, secure it,

0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:31.360
<v Speaker 4>keep it from uh, keep from turning it over, and

0:50:31.400 --> 0:50:35.520
<v Speaker 4>then you can concentrate on making moves and lateral movement,

0:50:36.040 --> 0:50:39.720
<v Speaker 4>make people miss the yards after catch, yards after contact,

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:40.640
<v Speaker 4>score touchdowns.

0:50:41.400 --> 0:50:44.440
<v Speaker 2>So when Jake Browning threw three touchdown passes in the

0:50:44.480 --> 0:50:47.160
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter last week and led the Bengals on touchdown

0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:50.000
<v Speaker 2>drives on three straight series, I thought to my saying, Okay,

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:53.600
<v Speaker 2>this is the guy that we saw two years ago.

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this is a sign that he can get it

0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.880
<v Speaker 2>going and you know, still hold things in check and

0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow hopefully comes back. Then I heard him at

0:51:03.560 --> 0:51:07.320
<v Speaker 2>his postgame news conference after the game, and he was

0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:11.280
<v Speaker 2>so in his own head, you know, worried about costing

0:51:11.360 --> 0:51:13.839
<v Speaker 2>the team the game. And yeah, I mean, the interception's hurt.

0:51:14.080 --> 0:51:17.120
<v Speaker 2>But when I heard that, my mind kind of changed

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to thinking, I'm not sure that he's going to be

0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:21.680
<v Speaker 2>able to get out of this anytime soon.

0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:25.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think getting in his own head is a

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:27.840
<v Speaker 4>good comment by you, Dan. You know, football, you're in

0:51:27.880 --> 0:51:31.720
<v Speaker 4>a stude football guy. When guys do that, it's tough.

0:51:32.320 --> 0:51:35.239
<v Speaker 4>It's tough to turn the worm. You know, it's tough

0:51:35.280 --> 0:51:39.280
<v Speaker 4>to work yourself out of that kind of football depression.

0:51:39.480 --> 0:51:43.839
<v Speaker 4>You know as such. You know, you look at tape

0:51:43.880 --> 0:51:46.919
<v Speaker 4>after the game, it's like you're kicking yourself in the butt.

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:49.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, Oh my god, how did I miss that?

0:51:49.440 --> 0:51:51.840
<v Speaker 4>How did I not see that? Look at he's wide open?

0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:54.160
<v Speaker 4>How can I Why did I throw the ball where

0:51:54.200 --> 0:51:56.120
<v Speaker 4>I threw the football? Why did I put the ball

0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:59.120
<v Speaker 4>in jeopardy By doing what I did, I'm hurting the

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:03.040
<v Speaker 4>football team. Yeah, I think it was just in his

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:06.600
<v Speaker 4>own head to the point of man like I said,

0:52:06.640 --> 0:52:09.839
<v Speaker 4>the bottom falling out and what do you do as coaches? Well,

0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Zach Taylor and the organization decided Joe flackom make the

0:52:15.520 --> 0:52:19.040
<v Speaker 4>call to Cleveland. Cleveland's willing to make the trade still

0:52:19.120 --> 0:52:22.680
<v Speaker 4>stunning to me, can't believe it, but they did it,

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:25.440
<v Speaker 4>and hopefully it comes back to kick them in the

0:52:25.600 --> 0:52:28.279
<v Speaker 4>butt multiple times here here.

0:52:29.160 --> 0:52:33.400
<v Speaker 2>So the Bengals are two and three. We mentioned earlier

0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:35.520
<v Speaker 2>that the Ravens are one and four, the Chiefs are

0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:39.440
<v Speaker 2>two and three. The AFC really seems like it's attainable,

0:52:39.800 --> 0:52:44.040
<v Speaker 2>particularly the AFC North, and you definitely had this sense

0:52:44.239 --> 0:52:47.880
<v Speaker 2>in the locker room today that this has given everybody

0:52:48.000 --> 0:52:50.680
<v Speaker 2>a lift. They didn't want to use those words and

0:52:50.800 --> 0:52:53.960
<v Speaker 2>make Jake Browning feel even worse, right, but you could

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:57.160
<v Speaker 2>feel it in there today. Let's hear from a couple

0:52:57.280 --> 0:53:01.640
<v Speaker 2>of Browns, Orlando Brown Junior and Chase Sprowed about the

0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:07.400
<v Speaker 2>impact that this trade had today and hopefully has going forward.

0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:10.759
<v Speaker 11>I think it's, you know, more so a message too

0:53:10.800 --> 0:53:13.920
<v Speaker 11>from the front office and ownership, you know, letting the

0:53:13.960 --> 0:53:16.040
<v Speaker 11>world know that you know that this is important to us,

0:53:16.040 --> 0:53:17.800
<v Speaker 11>and we do see that we know that, and I

0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:19.680
<v Speaker 11>imagine Joe Burrow will be back to at some point.

0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:23.799
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I think it shows that they want to win

0:53:24.080 --> 0:53:25.240
<v Speaker 12>and winning as a priority.

0:53:25.320 --> 0:53:29.000
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I think making that move.

0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:31.279
<v Speaker 12>I saw some stat online or something that they haven't

0:53:31.280 --> 0:53:34.080
<v Speaker 12>made an indivision trade since like nineteen ninety nine. So

0:53:34.200 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 12>I think it shows their commitment to this locker room,

0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 12>the coaching staff, and how much they believe in this team.

0:53:43.000 --> 0:53:47.160
<v Speaker 2>So both Orlando and Chase clearly appreciating the fact that

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the front office didn't say, well, let's just hope it

0:53:50.680 --> 0:53:54.359
<v Speaker 2>gets better, that they made a significant and abrupt move

0:53:54.440 --> 0:53:56.239
<v Speaker 2>to try to change things right now, a.

0:53:56.440 --> 0:53:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Historic move really, I mean nineteen ninety nine, like Chase

0:53:59.239 --> 0:54:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Brown was saying, it is the last time that you know,

0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:04.640
<v Speaker 4>a team made a move like that within the division.

0:54:04.680 --> 0:54:07.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's that's that's strong, that's a that's a

0:54:07.960 --> 0:54:11.840
<v Speaker 4>big statement, you know, by the front office, by the

0:54:12.040 --> 0:54:14.799
<v Speaker 4>general manager of the organization, ownership.

0:54:15.320 --> 0:54:15.880
<v Speaker 3>It really is.

0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:19.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they obviously were not when they when they

0:54:19.280 --> 0:54:21.359
<v Speaker 4>looked at game tape, they didn't like what they saw

0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:25.680
<v Speaker 4>the the you know, and and and Zach Taylor and

0:54:26.000 --> 0:54:31.719
<v Speaker 4>Dan Pitcher, they all and other position coaches must have

0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:35.920
<v Speaker 4>felt like we have to do something because there are

0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:38.680
<v Speaker 4>players to be made out there and we're not making them.

0:54:39.080 --> 0:54:43.960
<v Speaker 4>And and really the guy who is the uh, the

0:54:44.680 --> 0:54:48.520
<v Speaker 4>leader of the orchestra is the quarterback. And the quarterback struggling,

0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:51.200
<v Speaker 4>We're going to make a move there, unfortunately, and uh

0:54:51.360 --> 0:54:53.080
<v Speaker 4>and see if it makes a difference for us.

0:54:53.840 --> 0:54:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Now. I know a lot of people see the acquisition

0:54:56.480 --> 0:54:58.360
<v Speaker 2>of Joe Flacco and they think, well, he's had a

0:54:58.400 --> 0:55:02.160
<v Speaker 2>problem throwing intercessions in his career, and that's fair. But

0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 2>on the other hand, Jake was throwing the interceptions but

0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:10.560
<v Speaker 2>also wasn't capitalizing on what was there. Joe Flacco is

0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:13.360
<v Speaker 2>going to get the ball to a wide open Jamar

0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Chase up. He's going to make the checkdown quicker than

0:55:17.239 --> 0:55:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Jake had been making it. Yeah, and there might be

0:55:19.400 --> 0:55:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a couple of interceptions, that's part of it, but he

0:55:22.400 --> 0:55:24.920
<v Speaker 2>will take he will take advantage of more of the

0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:27.759
<v Speaker 2>opportunities that unfortunately this year Jake has not been able

0:55:27.800 --> 0:55:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to capitalize on.

0:55:28.760 --> 0:55:31.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think you know, look, I look at Joe

0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Flacco's arm as gunslinger ish, you know, I mean, he

0:55:35.640 --> 0:55:38.600
<v Speaker 4>can he can rip it down the football field, but

0:55:38.760 --> 0:55:41.240
<v Speaker 4>without the negativity that you think about a gun slinger,

0:55:41.680 --> 0:55:44.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, not like not like Winston where he just

0:55:45.400 --> 0:55:48.200
<v Speaker 4>is going to fire no matter what, and and rip

0:55:48.280 --> 0:55:50.839
<v Speaker 4>the ball down the football field and look around and boy,

0:55:50.920 --> 0:55:52.600
<v Speaker 4>everybody see how strong my arm is.

0:55:52.960 --> 0:55:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Man, I just ripped that thing down the football field,

0:55:56.200 --> 0:55:56.560
<v Speaker 3>goodn't I?

0:55:57.040 --> 0:55:57.080
<v Speaker 6>So?

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:01.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's a you know, you need more than

0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:04.799
<v Speaker 4>that to play the quarterback position. A lot of great

0:56:04.880 --> 0:56:08.880
<v Speaker 4>quarterbacks in the NFL did not have Howarzer's hanging off

0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:13.000
<v Speaker 4>of their shoulder. You know, they didn't have a cannon.

0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:15.800
<v Speaker 4>They weren't ripping the ball down the football field like that,

0:56:15.960 --> 0:56:20.799
<v Speaker 4>but they threw with tremendous accuracy. And that's what I think.

0:56:21.600 --> 0:56:25.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, Joe Flacco can do. Flacco can hit you

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:27.920
<v Speaker 4>in the right shoulder if that's what's necessary down the

0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:30.879
<v Speaker 4>football field, left hip, whatever the case may be. Joe

0:56:30.960 --> 0:56:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Flacco can put the football in tight spots. And when

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:37.280
<v Speaker 4>you're trying to get the ball down the field against

0:56:37.800 --> 0:56:40.320
<v Speaker 4>tight coverage or decent coverage, that's important.

0:56:40.560 --> 0:56:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Time for a quick time out. When we come back,

0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:44.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll head to Green Bay and talk to the voice

0:56:44.520 --> 0:56:47.799
<v Speaker 2>of the Packers, Wayne Larevie. This is the Bengals Game

<v Speaker 2>to join us tonight on our show, Wayne Laravi Man, Wayne,

0:57:28.640 --> 0:57:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Bengals Game Plan Show. Appreciate you of

0:57:31.880 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 2>taking some time out of your schedule to join us tonight.

0:57:35.240 --> 0:57:36.800
<v Speaker 9>Great to be with you, guys. I wish I was

0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:38.880
<v Speaker 9>there in person. It sounds like a good place to be.

0:57:40.720 --> 0:57:44.160
<v Speaker 2>That is accurate, good food, frosty beverages, and a great

0:57:44.200 --> 0:57:46.880
<v Speaker 2>crowd tonight. We appreciate the Bengals fans who are with

0:57:47.040 --> 0:57:50.280
<v Speaker 2>us here tonight. So Wayne, let's start with maybe the

0:57:50.320 --> 0:57:54.040
<v Speaker 2>biggest news in the early portion of the NFL season,

0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 2>and that was the Packers trade for Micah Parsons. Gave

0:57:57.760 --> 0:57:59.560
<v Speaker 2>up a Pro bowler and a couple of first round

0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:02.640
<v Speaker 2>draft for pat draft picks. Excuse me, but it makes sense.

0:58:03.000 --> 0:58:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Mike is in his prime, might be the best defensive

0:58:05.600 --> 0:58:07.760
<v Speaker 2>player in the league. He's right up there with Miles

0:58:07.840 --> 0:58:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Garrett and maybe one or two others. What has that

0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:14.680
<v Speaker 2>done for the Green Bay Packers defense and chances of

0:58:14.720 --> 0:58:15.520
<v Speaker 2>winning a Super Bowl?

0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:19.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, well, you know what it's made. It's given that

0:58:19.320 --> 0:58:22.400
<v Speaker 9>defense as certain swagger that maybe it didn't have before.

0:58:23.120 --> 0:58:25.479
<v Speaker 9>It was a good defense last year. There's no question,

0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:28.600
<v Speaker 9>a top ten defense, but they feel Micah Parsons can

0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:31.640
<v Speaker 9>maybe push them over the top. He gives them, you know,

0:58:31.840 --> 0:58:35.920
<v Speaker 9>he makes the four man rush effective in terms of

0:58:36.040 --> 0:58:39.600
<v Speaker 9>pass rush, and that's something that they struggled with year ago.

0:58:39.880 --> 0:58:43.200
<v Speaker 9>And Jeff Hafley, the defensive coordinated, at a tremendous job

0:58:43.280 --> 0:58:47.560
<v Speaker 9>of generating pass rush pressure and getting sacked, but he

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:49.800
<v Speaker 9>had to do it with blitzing and that type of thing.

0:58:50.240 --> 0:58:53.880
<v Speaker 9>They're more prone today to be a four man pass rush,

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:57.040
<v Speaker 9>and that's what they were hoping to be when all

0:58:57.320 --> 0:58:59.960
<v Speaker 9>this whole thing was put together, and so Micah Parson,

0:59:00.080 --> 0:59:03.360
<v Speaker 9>and he makes the people around him better. You know,

0:59:03.640 --> 0:59:06.800
<v Speaker 9>up until last week, Rashan Gary was leading the league

0:59:06.840 --> 0:59:10.840
<v Speaker 9>in sacks, and you know that's that's the difference. Having

0:59:11.360 --> 0:59:14.400
<v Speaker 9>Parsons on one side and Gary on the other side

0:59:14.480 --> 0:59:17.640
<v Speaker 9>makes Rashan Gary much more effective because he's not facing

0:59:17.960 --> 0:59:20.920
<v Speaker 9>as many double teams right on way.

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.800
<v Speaker 4>And there's no doubt, I mean, I bet when when

0:59:23.840 --> 0:59:26.600
<v Speaker 4>the trade was made for Shawn Garry was probably the

0:59:26.640 --> 0:59:30.320
<v Speaker 4>most appreciative guy in the organization. It's like, man, finally

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:32.880
<v Speaker 4>I got somebody else on the other side that's gonna

0:59:32.920 --> 0:59:35.800
<v Speaker 4>take take some of the pressure off and he'll be

0:59:35.880 --> 0:59:38.840
<v Speaker 4>facing a lot of the double teams. When I watched

0:59:38.880 --> 0:59:42.800
<v Speaker 4>the Green Bay Packers defense on tape, I'll tell you

0:59:43.960 --> 0:59:45.720
<v Speaker 4>the Parson is pretty stout in the running game.

0:59:45.760 --> 0:59:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:59:46.000 --> 0:59:49.120
<v Speaker 4>He plays the run. He doesn't, you know, he doesn't

0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:52.080
<v Speaker 4>just kind of show up or really not show up

0:59:52.360 --> 0:59:54.640
<v Speaker 4>for a couple of snaps and then hope, hope for

0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:56.480
<v Speaker 4>a third and a long and see if I can

0:59:56.680 --> 1:00:00.280
<v Speaker 4>sack a quarterback and increase my sack numbers. Run a

1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:03.360
<v Speaker 4>big total on sacks for the season. This guy's a

1:00:03.400 --> 1:00:06.720
<v Speaker 4>complete football player. He plays both sides of the Dubney.

1:00:07.960 --> 1:00:10.120
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, he does. And you know that's something he kind

1:00:10.160 --> 1:00:12.680
<v Speaker 9>of got a bad rapt by Kerry Jones about his

1:00:12.920 --> 1:00:16.600
<v Speaker 9>run defense. But you know what we've seen, he's been

1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:19.680
<v Speaker 9>very solid in holding the edge and making plays in

1:00:19.760 --> 1:00:22.600
<v Speaker 9>the running game. So that's helped a lot. I mean,

1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:25.480
<v Speaker 9>the Packers are giving up seventy seven yards rushing, second

1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:29.040
<v Speaker 9>in the league. You know, they had a little bit

1:00:29.200 --> 1:00:31.200
<v Speaker 9>more of a rough day in Dallas. Dallas got a

1:00:31.480 --> 1:00:34.200
<v Speaker 9>season high one hundred and seventeen rushing yards against them,

1:00:34.240 --> 1:00:36.640
<v Speaker 9>But that game was a track meet, so you know,

1:00:37.720 --> 1:00:39.160
<v Speaker 9>I don't know how much you can put into the

1:00:39.280 --> 1:00:40.760
<v Speaker 9>defensive figures of that game.

1:00:42.360 --> 1:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>The voice of the Packers, Wayne Larabee, is our guest.

1:00:45.520 --> 1:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay opened with very impressive wins over Detroit and Washington.

1:00:50.560 --> 1:00:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Attention was growing. People were talking about this team as

1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>a real Super Bowl favorite. Then they laid an egg

1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>in Cleveland. What happened in that Cleveland game.

1:01:00.880 --> 1:01:04.200
<v Speaker 9>You know, Dan, I mean they had control of that game,

1:01:04.280 --> 1:01:07.880
<v Speaker 9>they really did. I mean, they were struggling offensively. Cleveland's

1:01:07.920 --> 1:01:11.600
<v Speaker 9>defensive line dominated the Packers offensive line. The Packers have

1:01:11.760 --> 1:01:16.040
<v Speaker 9>had some injuries in their offensive line, Zach Tom probably

1:01:16.120 --> 1:01:18.680
<v Speaker 9>their best offensive line, been played one play in that

1:01:18.800 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 9>game and went out with an injury that he came

1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:27.080
<v Speaker 9>into the game with. Meanwhile, you know the left guard,

1:01:27.560 --> 1:01:30.240
<v Speaker 9>you know Banks, whom they acquired from San Francisco, kind

1:01:30.280 --> 1:01:32.440
<v Speaker 9>of a road grader in the running game, Aaron Banks.

1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:36.240
<v Speaker 9>He's missed seven He's missed seven games last year and

1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:40.840
<v Speaker 9>he's missed two now this year. So having components of

1:01:40.960 --> 1:01:44.280
<v Speaker 9>the offensive line down and having to shuffle that line

1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:47.280
<v Speaker 9>against the Cleveland front that you guys saw opening I

1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:51.000
<v Speaker 9>believe it was Opening Day. It's pretty good, pretty good unit,

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:52.600
<v Speaker 9>and you want to be at your best when you're

1:01:52.600 --> 1:01:56.240
<v Speaker 9>going up against that group. So they struggled offensively, defensively,

1:01:56.280 --> 1:01:58.760
<v Speaker 9>they're in command of that ballgame. And then the special

1:01:58.840 --> 1:02:02.760
<v Speaker 9>teams issue occurred and they had a field goal block

1:02:03.000 --> 1:02:06.400
<v Speaker 9>and boom, all of a sudden, you know, Cincinnati was

1:02:06.560 --> 1:02:08.960
<v Speaker 9>or I should say Cleveland was back in the game

1:02:09.080 --> 1:02:10.600
<v Speaker 9>and snuck away with a win.

1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:02:12.360 --> 1:02:17.760
<v Speaker 4>Special teams, I mean the all important third third phase offense, defense.

1:02:17.760 --> 1:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Special teams. I all have to kind of lean on

1:02:20.320 --> 1:02:23.120
<v Speaker 4>each other, and one is as important as the other.

1:02:23.240 --> 1:02:24.000
<v Speaker 3>There's no question.

1:02:24.320 --> 1:02:27.400
<v Speaker 4>Let's talk a little bit about Joe Flacco. What did

1:02:27.480 --> 1:02:31.080
<v Speaker 4>you think of Joe Flacco in that football game? How

1:02:31.120 --> 1:02:33.840
<v Speaker 4>did he perform against the Green Bay Packers?

1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:38.280
<v Speaker 9>To your eye, Well, you know, and and studying him

1:02:38.440 --> 1:02:42.240
<v Speaker 9>they going into the game. He can still fling it

1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:46.000
<v Speaker 9>and he can still get a downfield. Two things happen

1:02:46.080 --> 1:02:49.800
<v Speaker 9>in Cleveland. Number One, they were just starting to find

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:52.400
<v Speaker 9>their running back and that kid that they drafted in

1:02:52.440 --> 1:02:54.560
<v Speaker 9>the second round is going to be a really good runner.

1:02:55.320 --> 1:02:58.800
<v Speaker 9>But they really don't have a solid round game. They

1:02:58.880 --> 1:03:02.360
<v Speaker 9>couldn't protect the court. They just can't protect blackout and

1:03:02.760 --> 1:03:06.040
<v Speaker 9>that's the problem that he had. So so much of

1:03:06.120 --> 1:03:08.680
<v Speaker 9>what he was doing leading into that game was check

1:03:08.800 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 9>down stuff and really short stuff. And then he hit

1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:15.280
<v Speaker 9>a couple of passes against the Packers, but nothing out

1:03:15.320 --> 1:03:17.800
<v Speaker 9>of the ordinary. He struggled. I mean, he did not

1:03:17.960 --> 1:03:20.400
<v Speaker 9>have a great game against the Packers at all. And

1:03:20.760 --> 1:03:23.760
<v Speaker 9>you know, going to Cincinnati now, and if they get

1:03:23.800 --> 1:03:25.960
<v Speaker 9>him up to speed and ready to play this week,

1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:29.720
<v Speaker 9>he's got better people around him to throw the football to.

1:03:29.840 --> 1:03:32.800
<v Speaker 9>I mean, those two guys are number one receivers, both

1:03:32.840 --> 1:03:36.280
<v Speaker 9>of them, and you know, Flacco didn't have anything close

1:03:36.360 --> 1:03:39.440
<v Speaker 9>to that caliber in Cleveland. So if the Bengals can

1:03:39.520 --> 1:03:42.160
<v Speaker 9>protect this guy. He can still get the ball down

1:03:42.240 --> 1:03:43.120
<v Speaker 9>field accurately.

1:03:44.800 --> 1:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Dayne Lairbe is our guest. Do you expect the Packers

1:03:48.120 --> 1:03:50.760
<v Speaker 2>O line to be at full strength this week? And

1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>what about wide receiver Christian Watson? They just opened up

1:03:54.000 --> 1:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>his twenty one day window to come back from his

1:03:56.040 --> 1:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>knee injury. Any chance the Bengals have to worry about

1:03:58.840 --> 1:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>him this week? Boy?

1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:03.440
<v Speaker 9>You know, I gotta tell you, Dan, from what I

1:04:03.640 --> 1:04:06.600
<v Speaker 9>saw a training camp, from what I've seen at practice,

1:04:06.640 --> 1:04:08.680
<v Speaker 9>and they've ramped him up a little bit this week.

1:04:08.800 --> 1:04:14.200
<v Speaker 9>Now that he's actually in practice, I wouldn't count him out.

1:04:14.240 --> 1:04:18.280
<v Speaker 9>But I wouldn't. My gut tells me, though, wait a week,

1:04:18.640 --> 1:04:21.160
<v Speaker 9>you know, let him go through this week and then

1:04:21.600 --> 1:04:26.040
<v Speaker 9>maybe his comeback has been stunning. I mean a training camp,

1:04:26.080 --> 1:04:28.960
<v Speaker 9>it looked like he could practice and play, and you know,

1:04:29.080 --> 1:04:32.120
<v Speaker 9>they held him out obviously, and they had him on

1:04:32.160 --> 1:04:35.320
<v Speaker 9>the reserve list. And now this week these back at

1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:38.840
<v Speaker 9>practice and frankly looks pretty good. To be honest with you, guys,

1:04:39.000 --> 1:04:41.800
<v Speaker 9>I just wonder, if I know the Packers are very

1:04:41.920 --> 1:04:46.640
<v Speaker 9>cautious with their people from a medical standpoint, I still

1:04:46.720 --> 1:04:48.760
<v Speaker 9>think it's a long shot he plays this week, but

1:04:48.800 --> 1:04:49.760
<v Speaker 9>I wouldn't count it out.

1:04:51.760 --> 1:04:56.880
<v Speaker 4>When Joe Flacco was in Green Bay, I know you're

1:04:56.920 --> 1:05:00.040
<v Speaker 4>there all the time, talk of the coaches players. What

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:01.560
<v Speaker 4>was he like in the locker room?

1:05:01.920 --> 1:05:04.479
<v Speaker 3>What was he like with the coaches in the meeting room?

1:05:04.960 --> 1:05:06.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what's his personality?

1:05:06.920 --> 1:05:06.960
<v Speaker 5>Like?

1:05:07.080 --> 1:05:09.600
<v Speaker 4>What kind of a teammate is he? What can the

1:05:10.040 --> 1:05:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati Bengals expect in those areas?

1:05:15.000 --> 1:05:15.640
<v Speaker 9>What's Flacco?

1:05:16.680 --> 1:05:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes? About Joe?

1:05:18.320 --> 1:05:22.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, from what I understand, he's a great teammate, and

1:05:24.160 --> 1:05:26.760
<v Speaker 9>you know, he's a veteran presence, and he's somebody that

1:05:26.920 --> 1:05:29.960
<v Speaker 9>saved this season for Cleveland two years ago and just

1:05:30.160 --> 1:05:32.680
<v Speaker 9>you know, they they they're just kind of messed up

1:05:32.680 --> 1:05:34.960
<v Speaker 9>a little bit right now and he wasn't able to

1:05:35.040 --> 1:05:38.480
<v Speaker 9>do that behind that kind of protection. But I think

1:05:38.600 --> 1:05:41.320
<v Speaker 9>that you guys will find he'll be a very good quarterback,

1:05:41.800 --> 1:05:46.280
<v Speaker 9>very good teammate. He'll be a good chemistry piece in

1:05:46.360 --> 1:05:47.720
<v Speaker 9>the locker room. That's what I'm saying.

1:05:49.240 --> 1:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Wayne Lairvie, appreciate your time. I know it's busy this

1:05:52.960 --> 1:05:55.840

1:06:08.920 --> 1:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>great voice of the Green Bay Packers, Wayne Laravie. We're

1:06:12.000 --> 1:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna take a time out. When we come back. We'll

1:06:15.240 --> 1:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>hear from one of the guys that has to try

1:06:16.840 --> 1:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>to block Micah Parsons this week, right tackle a Marius MIBs.

1:06:20.960 --> 1:06:23.840

<v Speaker 2>in the final hour of that show next Wednesday night

1:06:50.880 --> 1:06:57.400
<v Speaker 2>MVP Sports Bar on Plainfield Road with special guest Sam Hubbard.

1:06:57.960 --> 1:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Sam program the night before the Bengals take on the

1:07:03.480 --> 1:07:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh Steelers and Thursday Night Football. So we couldn't get

1:07:06.440 --> 1:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>a current player for the Wednesday night show. We thought

1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>you would enjoy the guy we do have coming out.

1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I know you do, Sam Hubbard. That's gonna be an

1:07:13.800 --> 1:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>awesome show.

1:07:14.600 --> 1:07:15.040
<v Speaker 3>It will be.

1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:17.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean Sam knows everything there is to know about

1:07:17.920 --> 1:07:20.600
<v Speaker 4>the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, he played the Pittsburgh Steelers

1:07:20.680 --> 1:07:24.320
<v Speaker 4>many times and played well. I mean, you know, Pittsburgh

1:07:24.360 --> 1:07:27.400
<v Speaker 4>wants to run the football. Sam Hubbard is a depth

1:07:27.480 --> 1:07:30.200
<v Speaker 4>at stuff in the run. I mean, that's that's that's

1:07:30.280 --> 1:07:36.280
<v Speaker 4>his game. And it's interesting his teammates they miss him.

1:07:36.440 --> 1:07:38.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they got a ton of respect for Sam Hubbard,

1:07:38.800 --> 1:07:40.800
<v Speaker 4>and I no know Sam feels the same way about

1:07:41.280 --> 1:07:43.040
<v Speaker 4>all of his teammates. So it'll be good to give

1:07:43.120 --> 1:07:46.479
<v Speaker 4>him out out and about in the city talking about

1:07:46.560 --> 1:07:47.840
<v Speaker 4>Bengals football.

1:07:47.600 --> 1:07:51.520
<v Speaker 2>One week from tonight six to seven at MVP Sports Bar.

1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>One of the huge challenges this coming Sunday at four

1:07:54.840 --> 1:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>to twenty five will be blocking Micah Parsons. Picked up

1:07:59.080 --> 1:08:02.320
<v Speaker 2>just before the season by Green Bay from Dallas. He's

1:08:02.360 --> 1:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>been in the NFL for four years. He's had at

1:08:04.720 --> 1:08:08.640
<v Speaker 2>least twelve sacks in each of his previous NFL seasons.

1:08:09.000 --> 1:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals have faced him twice before. In his rookie year,

1:08:11.960 --> 1:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>he had two sacks, five quarterback hits. Dallas beat Cincinnati.

1:08:17.320 --> 1:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Last year they faced him again, no sacks, no tackles. Man.

1:08:22.960 --> 1:08:26.120
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals beat the Cowboys in Dallas by seven, so

1:08:26.320 --> 1:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>neutralizing Micah Parsons was a big key to that win.

1:08:29.600 --> 1:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>He did get some quarterback hits, right, but he didn't

1:08:32.280 --> 1:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>wreck the game. That's the key. He was mostly matched

1:08:36.000 --> 1:08:39.320
<v Speaker 2>up against the Marius Mimms last year. This year with

1:08:39.439 --> 1:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the Packers, he's been moving back and forth a lot,

1:08:42.360 --> 1:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>so Orlando Brown Junior and Marius Mims are both going

1:08:45.360 --> 1:08:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to get their turns against Michah Parsons. But in any case,

1:08:49.360 --> 1:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I talked to Amrius earlier today about that challenge of

1:08:53.160 --> 1:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>trying to block MICHAEH. Parsons in a Green Bay Packers uniform.

1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:00.080
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I mean, I think Michael's the best d in

1:09:00.880 --> 1:09:03.160
<v Speaker 13>in the NFL other than Miles Garrett. If you guys me,

1:09:03.439 --> 1:09:05.280
<v Speaker 13>just the guys who I haven't played against, They're gonna

1:09:05.280 --> 1:09:07.240
<v Speaker 13>be a challenge. It always is, especially on the road.

1:09:07.520 --> 1:09:09.960
<v Speaker 13>It's gonna be a game where it's about me again, honestly,

1:09:10.080 --> 1:09:12.600
<v Speaker 13>just just doing what coaches telling me. In practice, and

1:09:12.760 --> 1:09:14.599
<v Speaker 13>you know, how can you know, try to neutralize him

1:09:14.600 --> 1:09:16.920
<v Speaker 13>as much as possible and knowing you know, he's gonna

1:09:16.920 --> 1:09:18.880
<v Speaker 13>make his fair share of plays, you know. I mean,

1:09:18.920 --> 1:09:21.080
<v Speaker 13>it's gonna happen with a guy like that. But really,

1:09:21.200 --> 1:09:22.840
<v Speaker 13>like I said, my mind set is really to just

1:09:23.120 --> 1:09:24.599
<v Speaker 13>you know, go out there and play the game football.

1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:26.800
<v Speaker 13>Do I can play, continue to get better and you know,

1:09:27.720 --> 1:09:30.040
<v Speaker 13>if I let woman like not let one mistake or

1:09:30.120 --> 1:09:32.760
<v Speaker 13>one you know, one small minor, you know, step in

1:09:32.880 --> 1:09:34.360
<v Speaker 13>that game and turn into like.

1:09:34.400 --> 1:09:34.880
<v Speaker 6>The whole game.

1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:37.400
<v Speaker 13>So, like I said, boy against a great player, not

1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:40.200
<v Speaker 13>one of the best players on defense and ever, I mean,

1:09:40.200 --> 1:09:41.280
<v Speaker 13>I think he's a good Like I said, you know

1:09:41.360 --> 1:09:42.800
<v Speaker 13>he's a good player, but I know he's a good player.

1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:44.560
<v Speaker 13>But I said, I'm ready for the challenge, you know,

1:09:44.960 --> 1:09:46.599
<v Speaker 13>like I said, last year, he was with another team

1:09:47.240 --> 1:09:48.800
<v Speaker 13>last year who played in Dallas, and this year is

1:09:48.800 --> 1:09:49.760
<v Speaker 13>gonna be in on Green Bay.

1:09:49.800 --> 1:09:50.559
<v Speaker 3>So it's gonna be fun.

1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Last two weeks ago, Marius Mems had a bad game

1:09:54.680 --> 1:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>against the Denver Broncos. He's not shying away from it.

1:09:57.240 --> 1:09:59.240
<v Speaker 2>He knows he had a bad game. He bounce back

1:09:59.320 --> 1:10:02.120
<v Speaker 2>with what CO just say was his best game of

1:10:02.160 --> 1:10:06.160
<v Speaker 2>the year last week in that game against Detroit. So

1:10:06.400 --> 1:10:09.439
<v Speaker 2>hopefully he's trending in the right direction and he's getting

1:10:09.600 --> 1:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>going to need to be sharp on Sunday.

1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Agreed, Dan.

1:10:12.160 --> 1:10:15.639
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully he carries over the performance that he had in Detroit.

1:10:15.680 --> 1:10:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Because Micah Parsons, like you mentioned, is a game wrecker.

1:10:19.439 --> 1:10:20.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean he can. He can.

1:10:22.120 --> 1:10:24.840
<v Speaker 4>You might be going on a nice drive six plays

1:10:24.880 --> 1:10:27.759
<v Speaker 4>into the drive and then I'll sudden, bam, Micah Parsons

1:10:27.840 --> 1:10:30.840
<v Speaker 4>knocks your back ten yards or eight yards, whatever the

1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:33.360
<v Speaker 4>case may be, and in your face and your off schedule,

1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:36.040
<v Speaker 4>and you're you're in disarray, you know, and now you

1:10:36.160 --> 1:10:36.400
<v Speaker 4>have to.

1:10:36.439 --> 1:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Recover and recapture your poise.

1:10:40.720 --> 1:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1:10:41.120 --> 1:10:45.960
<v Speaker 4>He also is a turnover machine, causing turnovers left and right.

1:10:48.400 --> 1:10:48.560
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1:10:48.680 --> 1:10:52.680
<v Speaker 4>He's capable of sacking the quarterback obviously that's a big

1:10:52.800 --> 1:10:55.200
<v Speaker 4>loss of yards, taking away from your yard.

1:10:55.240 --> 1:10:59.400
<v Speaker 3>It's total. He's capable of knocking running backs back for

1:10:59.640 --> 1:11:00.719
<v Speaker 3>a loss.

1:11:01.520 --> 1:11:01.640
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

1:11:01.880 --> 1:11:02.160
<v Speaker 12>He is.

1:11:02.520 --> 1:11:06.040
<v Speaker 4>He's a tough, tough challenge. I mean, if he decides

1:11:06.080 --> 1:11:08.840
<v Speaker 4>to take an edge on an offensive lineman, he's gonna

1:11:09.479 --> 1:11:12.040
<v Speaker 4>nine times out of ten really win. I mean, the guy,

1:11:12.200 --> 1:11:14.439
<v Speaker 4>the guy is that good. So you're gonna have to

1:11:14.520 --> 1:11:18.080
<v Speaker 4>double him to minimize that total. Now you're you know,

1:11:18.439 --> 1:11:20.400
<v Speaker 4>can you who else can you double? You know, you

1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:25.439
<v Speaker 4>can only double two players on every snap normally, Doubling

1:11:25.520 --> 1:11:27.800
<v Speaker 4>more than that just doesn't make sense. It doesn't work out.

1:11:28.200 --> 1:11:33.360
<v Speaker 4>Numbers aren't your favorite offensively, so he is he's a problem.

1:11:33.400 --> 1:11:37.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he causes issues for offensive linemen, tight ends,

1:11:37.720 --> 1:11:42.120
<v Speaker 4>full backs, you know, blocking backs, tailbacks to double block

1:11:42.160 --> 1:11:46.679
<v Speaker 4>on occasion. Offensive coordinators have nightmares the night before game

1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:49.240
<v Speaker 4>worrying about do I have enough end to take care

1:11:49.280 --> 1:11:52.040
<v Speaker 4>of Michael Parsons. We can't let him take control of

1:11:52.080 --> 1:11:56.439
<v Speaker 4>the football game and make it his uh, can't let

1:11:56.520 --> 1:12:00.719
<v Speaker 4>him just take ownership of it. So yeah, it's it's

1:12:00.800 --> 1:12:03.559
<v Speaker 4>definitely a challenge, and it's a big one. It's one

1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:06.280
<v Speaker 4>of the biggest in the National Football League, and it's

1:12:06.360 --> 1:12:09.439
<v Speaker 4>gonna be interesting to see how Amarius Mims and others

1:12:09.520 --> 1:12:10.439
<v Speaker 4>rise to the occasion.

1:12:11.280 --> 1:12:14.479
<v Speaker 2>How do the Dallas Cowboys not keep that guy at

1:12:14.560 --> 1:12:15.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty six years old?

1:12:16.280 --> 1:12:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Come on, come on, Jerry, what the hell? Honestly, that

1:12:21.240 --> 1:12:24.320
<v Speaker 4>that one is a head scratcher, It really is. I mean,

1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:31.360
<v Speaker 4>this guy, if he's probably been responsible for more negative

1:12:31.400 --> 1:12:35.160
<v Speaker 4>players than any other defender in the National Football League.

1:12:35.680 --> 1:12:39.440
<v Speaker 3>He's probably you know, his negative.

1:12:39.040 --> 1:12:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Play total is probably what a couple of players would

1:12:43.880 --> 1:12:46.920
<v Speaker 4>have on another defense for a total number of negative.

1:12:46.640 --> 1:12:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Players, same draft class as Jamar Chase. So it really

1:12:50.120 --> 1:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>it would have been the same thing as the Bengals

1:12:51.920 --> 1:12:54.040
<v Speaker 2>trading Jamar Chase instead of resigning.

1:12:54.320 --> 1:12:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Unbelievable And for what what they get?

1:12:57.320 --> 1:12:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I know, they got a lie what was the game?

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they got a row bowler in two first

1:13:01.040 --> 1:13:02.800
<v Speaker 2>round draft picks, so they got a pretty good price.

1:13:03.720 --> 1:13:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And the Packers are also now going to pay him

1:13:05.880 --> 1:13:09.599
<v Speaker 2>forty seven a million forty seven million, forty seven million

1:13:09.640 --> 1:13:12.920
<v Speaker 2>a year. There we go going forward. So it does

1:13:13.000 --> 1:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>take a big chunk out of your salary cap, but

1:13:14.760 --> 1:13:17.160
<v Speaker 2>so well does He's one of the best defensive players

1:13:17.439 --> 1:13:20.960
<v Speaker 2>in the league now maybe ever, and he's in his prime.

1:13:21.200 --> 1:13:23.200
<v Speaker 4>And same with Jamar Chase. I mean, you know, you

1:13:23.240 --> 1:13:27.120
<v Speaker 4>can make the same argument. You know, why would why

1:13:27.160 --> 1:13:29.960
<v Speaker 4>would the Cincinnati Bengals, you know, retain Jamar Chase?

1:13:30.080 --> 1:13:32.759
<v Speaker 3>Also that very reason. You know, he's he's a big.

1:13:32.640 --> 1:13:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Time playmaker on triple Crown receiver catches, yards, touchdowns, playmaker, extraordinaire.

1:13:40.240 --> 1:13:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Two of the best players in the National Football League

1:13:43.280 --> 1:13:45.839
<v Speaker 4>on the offensive side of the football on the defensive

1:13:45.880 --> 1:13:49.840
<v Speaker 4>side of the football will be uh not necessarily going

1:13:49.920 --> 1:13:52.719
<v Speaker 4>one on one knocking heads with each other, but they'll

1:13:52.760 --> 1:13:56.880
<v Speaker 4>be out there trying to create havoc and and and

1:13:57.040 --> 1:13:59.639
<v Speaker 4>make positive players for their respective football teams.

1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Michaeh Parsons ran a four three nine forty crazy at

1:14:04.920 --> 1:14:07.439
<v Speaker 2>the scouting combine. How would you have tried to block

1:14:08.000 --> 1:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Michaeh Parsons.

1:14:08.960 --> 1:14:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Man, I mean, he's like two hundred and fifty pounds.

1:14:12.800 --> 1:14:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Two fifty exactly. Let me come on, exactly four four four.

1:14:17.479 --> 1:14:18.120
<v Speaker 3>At two fifty.

1:14:18.160 --> 1:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Come on.

1:14:18.880 --> 1:14:23.400
<v Speaker 4>That should be outlawed. That should be illegal. Honestly, it's like,

1:14:23.560 --> 1:14:27.200
<v Speaker 4>how do you block that? Your hope, you hope and pray,

1:14:27.560 --> 1:14:29.840
<v Speaker 4>you pray to the football gods the night before the game,

1:14:30.120 --> 1:14:32.439
<v Speaker 4>and you're on the road, so now you can't hear

1:14:32.520 --> 1:14:33.240
<v Speaker 4>the snap count.

1:14:33.520 --> 1:14:34.559
<v Speaker 3>So now he's getting off.

1:14:34.760 --> 1:14:36.880
<v Speaker 4>His get off is unbelievable when you're running a four

1:14:36.880 --> 1:14:39.120
<v Speaker 4>to three nine and now he's getting off the football

1:14:39.439 --> 1:14:42.840
<v Speaker 4>before you even move, so he's into you and knocking

1:14:42.920 --> 1:14:44.880
<v Speaker 4>you backwards before you know what the hell's going on.

1:14:45.400 --> 1:14:48.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you the offensive tackle is going to earn

1:14:48.400 --> 1:14:50.439
<v Speaker 4>their money on Sunday. It's not going to be an easy,

1:14:50.600 --> 1:14:51.120
<v Speaker 4>easy day.

1:14:51.240 --> 1:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Get those play calls in fast, Zach, so that the

1:14:54.240 --> 1:14:56.800
<v Speaker 2>play clock is not winding down to zero and that

1:14:56.960 --> 1:15:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the defensive ends can get a head start against your tackles.

1:15:00.840 --> 1:15:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, absolutely, I mean they're gifted enough anyway. Don't make

1:15:07.000 --> 1:15:07.840
<v Speaker 4>it easier for him.

1:15:07.840 --> 1:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>And that's for sure. All right, We're going to take

1:15:09.320 --> 1:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>a time out. When we come back, we'll talk about

1:15:11.800 --> 1:15:14.920
<v Speaker 2>the process of getting Joe Flacco ready to start on

1:15:15.120 --> 1:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Sunday in a matter of days in a Bengals uniform.

1:15:18.920 --> 1:15:21.360
<v Speaker 2>This is the Bengals Game Plan Show live from Game

<v Speaker 2>Bengals and the Green Bay Packers Sunday at Lembou Field

1:15:39.960 --> 1:15:43.439
<v Speaker 2>in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The smallest city in the US

1:15:43.560 --> 1:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that has a major professional sports team. Got a big

1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:49.759
<v Speaker 2>stadium though eighty thousand plus. It's going to be packed,

1:15:49.800 --> 1:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it always is. We'll see if the Bengals can go

1:15:52.160 --> 1:15:54.519
<v Speaker 2>on the road to Joe Flackwood quarterback and pull off

1:15:54.560 --> 1:15:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the upset this Sunday. It's certainly been an interesting twenty

1:15:58.000 --> 1:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>four hours or so for Joe flack go and for

1:16:01.200 --> 1:16:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals. The trade went down yesterday, Joe Flacco and

1:16:04.720 --> 1:16:08.880
<v Speaker 2>his wife drove from Cleveland to Cincinnati. They actually had

1:16:09.200 --> 1:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody else drive them, Yeah, so that Joe could be

1:16:12.200 --> 1:16:14.800
<v Speaker 2>on the phone with Zach Taylor and other members of

1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:18.519
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals coaching staff going over the offense, talking about

1:16:18.560 --> 1:16:21.400
<v Speaker 2>the play calls and so forth. They put those few

1:16:21.479 --> 1:16:23.679
<v Speaker 2>hours to use over the phone.

1:16:23.720 --> 1:16:24.320
<v Speaker 3>They didn't do a.

1:16:24.400 --> 1:16:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Zoom, didn't do a FaceTime. They did a traditional phone

1:16:28.800 --> 1:16:31.960
<v Speaker 2>call and talked about things. And then Joe Flacco was

1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:34.280
<v Speaker 2>in the building today. He took all of the number

1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:37.639
<v Speaker 2>one reps at quarterback as they are trying to hasten

1:16:37.760 --> 1:16:40.479
<v Speaker 2>the process to get him ready to start on Sunday.

1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:43.920
<v Speaker 2>He's got a couple of former teammates on the Bengals roster.

1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Flacco played for the Denver Broncos in twenty nineteen. His

1:16:47.520 --> 1:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>teammates included offensive lineman Dalton Reisner and tight end Noah Fant.

1:16:53.000 --> 1:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, Noah's first NFL touchdown catch was thrown by

1:16:57.400 --> 1:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Joe Flacco in any case. I asked his former teammate

1:17:01.200 --> 1:17:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Reisner today, do you think Joe Flacco will be

1:17:05.040 --> 1:17:08.080
<v Speaker 2>able to get up to speed in a few days

1:17:08.479 --> 1:17:11.400
<v Speaker 2>and be able to play well on Sunday. Here's Dalton's answer.

1:17:12.800 --> 1:17:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I do believe that he can do that.

1:17:14.200 --> 1:17:17.160
<v Speaker 14>He is a sixteen year I don't want to out

1:17:17.200 --> 1:17:19.280
<v Speaker 14>speak sixteen or seventeen year vet in this league. I

1:17:19.320 --> 1:17:21.760
<v Speaker 14>think he's fifty nine years old, right, something like that,

1:17:21.880 --> 1:17:25.160
<v Speaker 14>And I'm just kidding, he's like forty regardless.

1:17:25.560 --> 1:17:26.360
<v Speaker 2>He's a guy that's.

1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:27.360
<v Speaker 14>Gonna come in here and be a vet and know

1:17:27.439 --> 1:17:29.280
<v Speaker 14>how to do that, and he's gonna be on top

1:17:29.320 --> 1:17:31.519
<v Speaker 14>of his p's and q's. He's gonna learn the offense.

1:17:31.520 --> 1:17:33.200
<v Speaker 14>He's about to go out there and command it and

1:17:34.720 --> 1:17:36.160
<v Speaker 14>put his best foot forward to help us win.

1:17:38.280 --> 1:17:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Lapp just how hard is what Joe Flacco is being

1:17:43.040 --> 1:17:46.200
<v Speaker 2>asked to do? Come in on a Wednesday, start on

1:17:46.280 --> 1:17:48.479
<v Speaker 2>a Sunday at quarterback.

1:17:49.120 --> 1:17:54.360
<v Speaker 4>Brutally tough. I think it's a major, major challenge. I mean,

1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:56.240
<v Speaker 4>there's no two ways about it.

1:17:56.360 --> 1:17:58.920
<v Speaker 3>I just think I think.

1:18:00.360 --> 1:18:05.519
<v Speaker 4>The difficulty meter it's peg you know, yeah, it's it

1:18:05.640 --> 1:18:11.800
<v Speaker 4>really is. I mean, he has no prior knowledge or

1:18:13.600 --> 1:18:18.040
<v Speaker 4>has never even looked at a playbook a game plan. Now,

1:18:19.800 --> 1:18:23.759
<v Speaker 4>the advantage he has is all that experience, all those years,

1:18:23.920 --> 1:18:27.439
<v Speaker 4>all those different systems, there's going to be familiarity. He's

1:18:27.479 --> 1:18:31.639
<v Speaker 4>going to see concepts, he's going to see formations, he's

1:18:31.680 --> 1:18:35.599
<v Speaker 4>gonna see personnel groupings that will remind him of something

1:18:35.680 --> 1:18:38.559
<v Speaker 4>that happened. It's something that he utilized from a game

1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:43.520
<v Speaker 4>planning standpoint elsewhere in his NFL career. And it's significant

1:18:43.760 --> 1:18:45.920
<v Speaker 4>with the number of teams that he's been with, a

1:18:46.080 --> 1:18:49.280
<v Speaker 4>number of different game plans in playbooks that he's been

1:18:49.320 --> 1:18:52.920
<v Speaker 4>exposed to, it's really crazy. So I think he's the

1:18:53.000 --> 1:18:56.639
<v Speaker 4>most unique quarterback in that regard in the National Football League.

1:18:56.640 --> 1:19:00.280
<v Speaker 4>There's nobody like him, really, and he's gonna be able

1:19:00.320 --> 1:19:04.599
<v Speaker 4>to tell his grandkids, you know, NFL stories, and he's

1:19:04.600 --> 1:19:06.519
<v Speaker 4>going to be one of the big NFL stories.

1:19:06.560 --> 1:19:07.160
<v Speaker 3>He'll be able to.

1:19:07.160 --> 1:19:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Tell his grandkids about the fact that he went to

1:19:10.960 --> 1:19:16.040
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati on a Tuesday and started a quarterback against a

1:19:16.080 --> 1:19:18.439
<v Speaker 4>team that he already had played against on Sunday.

1:19:18.720 --> 1:19:20.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, Well, that's the other thing I'm wondering, So

1:19:20.960 --> 1:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>how much does the fact that he played against this team,

1:19:23.840 --> 1:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the Green Bay Packers, three weeks ago, how helpful as that?

1:19:27.720 --> 1:19:30.600
<v Speaker 2>And I can't imagine there's ever been a quarterback to

1:19:30.760 --> 1:19:34.400
<v Speaker 2>beat the same team twice in three weeks with two

1:19:34.439 --> 1:19:36.760
<v Speaker 2>different teams. There's no way that's ever happened before.

1:19:36.880 --> 1:19:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Agreed, it's impossible.

1:19:38.360 --> 1:19:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've never heard of anything close to it.

1:19:42.439 --> 1:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>But how helpful is it that he just faced Green Bay?

1:19:45.280 --> 1:19:47.720
<v Speaker 4>I think immentally, you know, I mean, I think he's

1:19:47.800 --> 1:19:50.080
<v Speaker 4>going to be able to retain a lot of information

1:19:50.280 --> 1:19:53.960
<v Speaker 4>that he was up at night, you know, and during

1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:58.760
<v Speaker 4>the course of the day in meetings, position meetings with

1:19:58.840 --> 1:20:03.120
<v Speaker 4>the quarterback coach, meetings with the offensive coordinator, team meetings

1:20:03.160 --> 1:20:05.960
<v Speaker 4>with the offensive side of the football, going out there

1:20:06.000 --> 1:20:11.560
<v Speaker 4>to practice, taking reps uh on all areas of the

1:20:11.640 --> 1:20:15.160
<v Speaker 4>game plan out in the out in the field in

1:20:15.320 --> 1:20:19.000
<v Speaker 4>terms of, you know, your regular offensive package, red zone,

1:20:19.240 --> 1:20:22.840
<v Speaker 4>low red zone packages, third down packages. He's going to

1:20:22.920 --> 1:20:26.720
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of that information rolling around in his

1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:29.400
<v Speaker 4>brain and and he's just gonna have to corral it

1:20:30.200 --> 1:20:32.840
<v Speaker 4>uh in and piece it in with the nomenclature in

1:20:32.920 --> 1:20:36.160
<v Speaker 4>the in the words that you know, identify what he

1:20:36.320 --> 1:20:39.000
<v Speaker 4>needs to what needs to be triggered for him to

1:20:39.160 --> 1:20:42.920
<v Speaker 4>execute it here in Cincinnati. So I think it's a big,

1:20:43.280 --> 1:20:48.720
<v Speaker 4>a big plus. I think I think he's uh He's

1:20:48.760 --> 1:20:52.479
<v Speaker 4>definitely been challenged. But I'll tell you, Dan, I did

1:20:53.120 --> 1:20:56.920
<v Speaker 4>get a chance to sit down uh in in the

1:20:57.000 --> 1:21:00.519
<v Speaker 4>locker area with him and listen to him talk to

1:21:00.640 --> 1:21:02.680
<v Speaker 4>his teammates, and I asked him a few questions, and

1:21:03.040 --> 1:21:07.040
<v Speaker 4>the dude is smart. I mean, he has immense football

1:21:07.080 --> 1:21:11.680
<v Speaker 4>IQ is. He's no Dodo bird Man. This guy is

1:21:12.320 --> 1:21:16.000
<v Speaker 4>nobody's school. He ain't no dummy. So I do think

1:21:16.120 --> 1:21:19.599
<v Speaker 4>that the Green Bay Packers, they're gonna have to mix

1:21:19.680 --> 1:21:23.400
<v Speaker 4>things up. Their defensive coordinator, their defensive coaches, their players

1:21:23.400 --> 1:21:25.479
<v Speaker 4>are gonna have to think, you know, we're gonna have

1:21:25.520 --> 1:21:27.519
<v Speaker 4>to do things a little bit differently, present things to

1:21:27.600 --> 1:21:30.240
<v Speaker 4>him a little bit differently because he is a smart

1:21:30.320 --> 1:21:34.600
<v Speaker 4>guy and he beat us, and he's gonna remember what

1:21:34.680 --> 1:21:36.680
<v Speaker 4>he did to beat us. So it's not gonna be

1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:37.320
<v Speaker 4>any walk.

1:21:37.160 --> 1:21:40.400
<v Speaker 2>In the park. A common refrain on ESPN and elsewhere

1:21:40.479 --> 1:21:43.560
<v Speaker 2>has been a the Bengals offensive line has really struggled.

1:21:43.880 --> 1:21:45.880
<v Speaker 2>They needed to go out and get a mobile guy.

1:21:46.360 --> 1:21:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I understand that thought. But on the other hand, Joe's

1:21:48.960 --> 1:21:52.120
<v Speaker 2>not gonna hold the ball forever. His offensive linemen are

1:21:52.160 --> 1:21:55.960
<v Speaker 2>going to know where he's going to be, and it

1:21:56.120 --> 1:21:58.720
<v Speaker 2>actually might result in fewer sacks, not more.

1:21:59.000 --> 1:22:01.280
<v Speaker 3>It could, It could, Dan, I like the way you're thinking.

1:22:01.400 --> 1:22:03.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, you're my kind of football guy. You know,

1:22:03.720 --> 1:22:04.880
<v Speaker 3>I do think.

1:22:06.040 --> 1:22:09.679
<v Speaker 4>I do think the offensive line already has a tremendous

1:22:09.680 --> 1:22:11.320
<v Speaker 4>amount of respect for him. What I saw in the

1:22:11.400 --> 1:22:15.439
<v Speaker 4>locker room today, they respect and trust Joe Flacco. I

1:22:15.560 --> 1:22:17.160
<v Speaker 4>think they think that he's going to bring out the

1:22:17.240 --> 1:22:19.880
<v Speaker 4>best in them. Like you said, Dan, I mean, he's

1:22:19.960 --> 1:22:23.440
<v Speaker 4>not a he's not a guy that's you know, unbelievably

1:22:23.520 --> 1:22:25.639
<v Speaker 4>mobile with tremendous lateral movement.

1:22:25.840 --> 1:22:29.160
<v Speaker 3>But he gets the ball out quickly. It's gone. It's

1:22:29.439 --> 1:22:32.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, he makes us read boom. He goes through

1:22:32.280 --> 1:22:32.879
<v Speaker 3>his progression.

1:22:32.960 --> 1:22:35.479
<v Speaker 4>It is out and it's out with smart pms, it's

1:22:35.520 --> 1:22:37.479
<v Speaker 4>out with some zip on it, and he's saw on

1:22:37.560 --> 1:22:42.040
<v Speaker 4>it accurately. He's hitting tight spots down the football field

1:22:42.040 --> 1:22:43.240
<v Speaker 4>as well as anybody.

1:22:42.920 --> 1:22:44.920
<v Speaker 2>In the NFL. All right, we're gonna take our final

1:22:45.000 --> 1:22:47.559
<v Speaker 2>time out. When we come back, we will talk about

1:22:48.080 --> 1:22:50.240
<v Speaker 2>one thing that we are definitely looking forward to this

1:22:50.400 --> 1:22:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Sunday going to lambeau Field. There's nothing quite like it

1:22:53.720 --> 1:22:57.080
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. It's a bucket list experience. If you've

1:22:57.160 --> 1:22:59.880
<v Speaker 2>never been, we'll discuss that next. And here from a

1:23:00.160 --> 1:23:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I used to work there for nine years. This is

1:23:02.439 --> 1:23:05.400
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals Game Plan Show presented by bud Light on

1:23:05.680 --> 1:23:13.240

<v Speaker 2>crowd tonight, good signage that the show is going to

<v Speaker 2>be here tonight. We appreciate that crowd. Thank you to

1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:01.679
<v Speaker 2>the official pastry chef of the Bengals Radio Network, Nita.

1:24:02.600 --> 1:24:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I think Nita just went to the restroom, but hopefully

1:24:06.240 --> 1:24:10.559
<v Speaker 2>she heard us and we'll be acknowledged love world's best

1:24:10.920 --> 1:24:11.559
<v Speaker 2>pastry show.

1:24:11.640 --> 1:24:12.000
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

1:24:12.360 --> 1:24:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Most of all, thank you to the Bengals fans to

1:24:14.800 --> 1:24:18.200
<v Speaker 2>coming out tonight where to appreciate all of you, Love

1:24:18.240 --> 1:24:22.200
<v Speaker 2>all of you. All right, We are headed to lambeau

1:24:22.439 --> 1:24:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Field this Sunday at four to twenty five. There's a

1:24:25.600 --> 1:24:30.320
<v Speaker 2>sign at lambeau near the security entrance that reads, quote,

1:24:30.880 --> 1:24:34.800
<v Speaker 2>this is somebody's bucket list. And that's how I felt

1:24:34.840 --> 1:24:36.639
<v Speaker 2>the first time we went there. We went there eight

1:24:36.760 --> 1:24:39.680
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I had heard about it. The history. You know,

1:24:39.800 --> 1:24:44.040
<v Speaker 2>it opened in the nineteen fifties. The streets nearby are

1:24:44.160 --> 1:24:48.400
<v Speaker 2>named for Packers legends. The street addresses Lombardi ave for

1:24:48.520 --> 1:24:51.639
<v Speaker 2>lambeau Field. So it's really cool. It's something that every

1:24:51.680 --> 1:24:55.839
<v Speaker 2>football fan should experience if you can. The Bengals defensive

1:24:55.880 --> 1:24:59.160
<v Speaker 2>line coach Jerry Montgomery coach there for nine years, and

1:24:59.280 --> 1:25:02.639
<v Speaker 2>I talked to him earlier today about returning to lambeau Field.

1:25:04.320 --> 1:25:06.360
<v Speaker 2>You definitely feel the history.

1:25:06.920 --> 1:25:11.439
<v Speaker 15>It's an unbelievable place to work and unbelievable place to

1:25:12.840 --> 1:25:13.760
<v Speaker 15>play a football game.

1:25:14.920 --> 1:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>You walk through the tunnels and you feel it. It's neat.

1:25:18.439 --> 1:25:21.960
<v Speaker 15>Even practicing there, there's an air about it. So and

1:25:22.040 --> 1:25:24.360
<v Speaker 15>what's cool is when you pull in and you see

1:25:24.439 --> 1:25:26.920
<v Speaker 15>now it's a little different now because people have tore

1:25:27.000 --> 1:25:30.120
<v Speaker 15>down those homes and built massive places across the street.

1:25:30.120 --> 1:25:33.599
<v Speaker 15>They're big tailgate places. But it's just it's a really

1:25:33.840 --> 1:25:38.599
<v Speaker 15>neat environment. It's probably as close to college environment as

1:25:39.080 --> 1:25:42.840
<v Speaker 15>you'll feel in most places. But yeah, neat venue, a

1:25:42.920 --> 1:25:47.479
<v Speaker 15>lot of history and cool place. It is a cool place.

1:25:47.600 --> 1:25:49.360
<v Speaker 15>Cool for me as a broadcast. But what was it

1:25:49.520 --> 1:25:50.559
<v Speaker 15>like for you to play there?

1:25:51.120 --> 1:25:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1:25:51.360 --> 1:25:53.519
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say, Dan, it was the most

1:25:53.880 --> 1:25:59.320
<v Speaker 4>surreal experience that I had at that stage of my

1:25:59.439 --> 1:26:02.639
<v Speaker 4>professional career because I was a young player and going

1:26:02.720 --> 1:26:06.400
<v Speaker 4>to historic Lambeau, Like Coach Richardson said, I mean, they're

1:26:06.800 --> 1:26:09.760
<v Speaker 4>going through those hallways and those tunnels. I mean, the

1:26:09.880 --> 1:26:12.880
<v Speaker 4>history is unbelievable. And then you, uh, you know, you

1:26:13.000 --> 1:26:15.679
<v Speaker 4>work your way out of the tunnel and the fans

1:26:15.720 --> 1:26:19.920
<v Speaker 4>are throwing every answer that they can throw, liquid or solid.

1:26:21.120 --> 1:26:24.120
<v Speaker 4>Nothing that's gonna hurt you, but just you know, bothersome

1:26:24.160 --> 1:26:27.519
<v Speaker 4>stuff and they're just they're on your case. Man, they're

1:26:27.560 --> 1:26:29.920
<v Speaker 4>on your case big time, and you could.

1:26:29.880 --> 1:26:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Run running out of there through that tunnel if you

1:26:32.000 --> 1:26:33.759
<v Speaker 3>were in the units being introduced.

1:26:33.880 --> 1:26:37.680
<v Speaker 4>The offense was introduced when when I was playing there,

1:26:37.720 --> 1:26:40.439
<v Speaker 4>and you know, spread out to the fifty yard line

1:26:40.479 --> 1:26:43.519
<v Speaker 4>and peel off to the sideline and it's it's it's amazing.

1:26:43.600 --> 1:26:47.040
<v Speaker 4>And then the national anthems playing. Your heart's just racing,

1:26:47.080 --> 1:26:47.759
<v Speaker 4>it's beating.

1:26:47.520 --> 1:26:49.400
<v Speaker 3>One hundred miles, one hundred miles an hour.
