1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: All right back on the round Table show. Long next

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: in Hebret presented by Postman Law, brought to you in

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: part by Hogsworth Blood Centers, Hawksworth Donors, Save Lives, Lance

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: mecalyst Rocky Boyman. Time to talk with our guy, Jeorge

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Us every week at this time covers the Bengals for

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: c l NS. Since he with the Y dot Com

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: host of the Jungle War podcast on YouTube. He's the

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: man they call Trags Mike Petrallion Trags. I'm gonna ask

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: you a question. I don't know if you've heard people

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: are buzzing about this Joe Burrow thing.

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: So I'm going to ask you what.

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Do your eyes show and tell you this week in

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: watching Joe.

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: Burrow, he's moving comfortably. He's throwing the ball with great

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: fluidity and strength. He looks like the Joe Burrow we

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: saw late in training camp and in the preseason. Uh

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor agreed with that observation on Wednesday that he

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: looked terrific, looked out standing.

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: On Monday.

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: He's throwing the ball great. He even moved out of

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: the pocket and individual drills. He's not doing eleven on

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: eleven yet, but he's doing everything you would hope to

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: see from Joe Burrow to this point, I hate using

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: the cliche, but he's checking all the boxes. The one

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: thing we don't know is how he will look when

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: he's trying to move quickly the little dance steps inside

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 3: the pocket to get out of trouble. Will his foot

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 3: respond to that appropriately? But to this point, he looks tremendous.

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 3: He looks very strong, and he also looks very relaxed.

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: And obviously it's kind of dangerous sometimes to rate in

31
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 3: the body language. But I will tell you both from

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: his press conference on Monday and his interaction that we've

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: seen at practice with Joe Burrow, with Joe Flacco and

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: obviously Jake Browning and Sean Clifford the other three quarterback,

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: the other two quarterbacks, he looks like he's getting along well.

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: He looks comfortable. You know.

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: I think he has in his mind the date of

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving night. I believe that's November twenty seventh, to return

39
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: to action and be ready to go. And if he

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: checks all the boxes, I don't see any reason why.

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: He wouldn't tryers.

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: I couldn't be more fascinated in this alleged contraption. He's

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: wearing protecting his toe. Any information on what sort of brace,

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 4: what sort of thing is being is on his foot

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: now to help brace that toe.

46
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: No, I haven't seen it, Rocky, and I'm sure it's

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: you know, the orthopedic contraption on steroids if you will,

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: it is the most complex orthopedic instrument that you could

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: come up with. Is in there to protect and cushion

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: the toe. What I'm curious to find out, and we

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: probably should have asked us had we been doing our

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: job properly on Monday, is does that give him any restriction?

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: How does it feel playing with it?

54
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: I mean, in in all fairness, at that point on Monday,

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: he had only been at practice one day, So you

56
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: know that's what We're gonna have to wait and see.

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: How does Joe Burrow respond once he returns to eleven

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: on eleven activities likely next week, and how does it

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: feel and how does his foot respond from playing repetitively on.

60
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: It and drags In terms of a return to normalcy,

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is back to messing with him again. Huh yep,

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: And that was hilarious today, saying he given the fact

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow is such an mma fan.

64
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: He likes to kick him, head butt them, punch him.

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: And once he starts, he said, once he starts punching him.

66
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: Burrow will usually punch back.

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: And I found that fascinating. Was also interesting this began.

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: You know, I thought it was terrific of Paul Day,

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: energy of the athletic to ask this.

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: When did this begin?

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: And you know the natural assumption would be at LSU. Well, yes,

72
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: it started at LSU, but not until his senior year

73
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: because initially, Jamar said, Joe Burrow didn't talk to anybody,

74
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: so you didn't know. If the guy's not talking to anybody,

75
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: you don't mess around with him until you really get

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: to know him.

77
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: And that wasn't.

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: Until their senior year together, and it's kind of continued

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: while they've been together with the Bengals. Also, he said,

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: would he asked if he would do it during games,

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: He really had to pause and think, and he said

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: maybe after a touchdown drive kind of mess around with

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: him then, But I don't think you're going to be

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: doing that after he just went three and out and

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: you're down by seven points in the middle of the

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: third quarter.

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: So trying to I don't know everybody you talked to

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: when the toe injury happened. Everything, every indication to me

89
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: was that this thing was very serious. You know that

90
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: that kind of thing nothing to mess around with, a

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: very complicated kind of joint. So I think him the

92
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: fact that he was activated on the twenty one day

93
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 4: window on Monday was such a shock. What do you

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: think happened? Did was? Did he just accelerate his rehab

95
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: and really respond well to that? Was it not as

96
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: bad as maybe people originally thought? What's the case here?

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: The former not the latter.

98
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: He definitely accelerated his rehab. And if you know anything

99
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: about Joe Burrow and his previous four significant injuries, he's

100
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: attacked the rehab process incredibly aggressively, getting back.

101
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: Way ahead of schedule. And this has been no different.

102
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: And you know, take this for what it is, but

103
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: Burrow said that this he's been through ligament injuries before,

104
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 3: and this of course is one of those. He said,

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 3: this is hasn't risen to the complexity, certainly of the risks,

106
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: which I think was the most complicated to come back

107
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: from and the knee. This is not those type of injuries.

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: He kind of figured, I guess early on after surgery

109
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: and the way it was responding that he would be

110
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: able to attack it, go through everything and ramp it

111
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: up more quickly, and as long as your body responds,

112
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: there's no reason not to continue on that path.

113
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: The moment you feel anything.

114
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: Abnormal, obviously doctors and physical therapists are going to tell

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: you to back off and let the thing heal because

116
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: you don't want to do more damage. But in this

117
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: particular case, Burrow has made it to this point without

118
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: any complications, knock Wood, and he anticipates on keeping that

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: acceleration through to the practice field this week, next week

120
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: and see where it winds up on Thanksgiving night.

121
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: All right, Trags, You've got a lot more on this,

122
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: everything from Joe Flacco and the twist and turn of

123
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: his season and his reflections and said Johnson's opportunity and more.

124
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Tell everybody how they can read, watch and follow.

125
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco.

126
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: Yoda of the Bengals during a season of chaos is

127
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: what I have up there now on CLN S Sinc.

133
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: flat out surprised and almost shocked that Burrow was back

134
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: on the field this week.

135
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,960
