19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: thing since a sweet gesture by Joe Burrow. I haven't

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: gone back to watch the telecast yet, but there were

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: apparently a lot of shots during the game of Jake

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Browning's family watching the game from a luxury suite. Jake

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: made it clear after the game that it wasn't his

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: luxury suite.

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: It is not my box. I did not buy that

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: in the preseason. Very expensive. So Joe Burrow was nice

27
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: enough to give them some tickets so they didn't have

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: to sit up in the cold. You know, we're off

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: in California, so I used to it. They're not, so

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure they were much more excited in the box.

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: But it's awesome. I'm here, I was. I think it

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: was two friends from back home, my girlfriend and then

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: my brother and my sister and boyfriend. So it's always

34
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: nice to have people there, and it's mostly nice after

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: you win to and we'll.

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: Go grab dinner or something someone.

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: And it was a very kind gesture by Joe Burrow

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: to invite Browning's friends and family to watch the game

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: from his luxury suite. And by the way, it was

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's birthday on Sunday. Now, he and Jake Browning

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: are both twenty seven years old Browning is about eight

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: months older. Now time for the radio replays from Sunday's

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: win over the Colts. It is a chilly December day

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati, thirty seven degrees with cloudy gray skies overhead,

45
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: in other words, football weather. As the six and six

46
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Bengals look to stay alive in the playoff hunt as

47
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: they host the seven and five Indianapolis Colts, And it

48
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: is time for the big skin to fly here in

49
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the jungle. Rookie Chase Brown checks in for the first

50
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: time in running back after nine carries for sixty one

51
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: yards last week. They fake it to him. Now they

52
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: screen it to him, all sorts of running room and

53
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: blockers in front. He's flying to the thirty, the twenty.

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: The ten cuts back makes a man miss half the

55
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: five touchdown Bengals. Chase Brown showing his speed as he

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: flies down the field for the Bengals touchdown. Matt Gay,

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: who won a Super Bowl ring against the Bengals with

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: the Rams a couple of years ago, in his first

59
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: year with the Colts, the highest paid kicker in the

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: NFL after signing a free agent deal. This kick is

61
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: up and it pits the upright and bounce his back. Wow,

62
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: he missed it from thirty eight yards away, and the

63
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: Bengals remain seven points ahead. Joe Mixon back in at

64
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: running back Charlie Joe in a wide receiver. Browning throws

65
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: into screen, caught by Mixing. Runs to the fifty, cutting

66
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: back to the forty, still running at the thirty high,

67
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: stepping to the twenty, and tackled at the sixteen yard

68
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: line by Rodney Thomas. The screen game is killing Indianapolis.

69
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: That's a forty four yard game. Browning back at the five.

70
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: In the shotgun. Mixon ships to his left. It's a

71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: handoff Mixing stumbling forward, touchdown Bengals. Joe Mixon heads to

72
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone and begins a dance

73
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: for the fans looking on. He scored three touchdowns in

74
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the last two games, and the Bengals have taken a

75
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: thirteen to nothing lead. Linebacker Zyear Franklin is a fullback.

76
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: Zach Boss lined up behind him. He's carried on the

77
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: last six plays. They fake to him, They throw into

78
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: the end zone, and it is a touchdown. Moe Ellie

79
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Cox held on to the football. It looked for a

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: second like he might have juggled it, but he held

81
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: on for the td got behind Logan Wilson and the

82
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: playworks for Indianapolis. Second and four. They snap it to Browning,

83
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Jake looking throwing and it is intercepted. It's being run

84
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: back by Ronnie Harrison. He's going to take it to

85
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: the house. A pick six and a touchdown for Indy

86
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: Browning in the gun chase brown to his right. Browning

87
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: has the ball, He's back to throw. The Fires caught

88
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: it the five, Tanner Hudson into the end zone. Touchdown Bengals.

89
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Tanner Hudson with his first ever NFL touchdown catch and

90
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: the Bengals are back in the lead. On second down

91
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: and nine, Browning with a deep drop. He's gonna float

92
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: it high end, got him t Higgins makes it over

93
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: the shoulder catch on the far sideline, got his feet

94
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: down in bounds and gets tackled at the twenty four

95
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis, a forty six yard bom Darryl Baker was

96
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: nearby as t stumbled down after making the catch. Second

97
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: down in goal, inches away. The Bengals already up by

98
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: seven now, Browning moves under center. He has Mixing five

99
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: yards behind him. Browning will try to sneak it in,

100
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Mixing shuts him in the back into the end zone.

101
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Touchdown Bengals and Cincinnati has a two TD lead. Here

102
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: comes the punt by Robbins, very very high, and we've

103
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: got a muff. The Bengals fall on top of it

104
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: at the thirteen yard line. Bengals ball as Isaiah McKenzie

105
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: colliding with his own guy as he was trying to

106
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: make a fair catch dj Ivy down at the bottom

107
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: of the pile to recover for Cincinnati. Minshew back to throw,

108
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: looking left, hit from behind Bob Hendrickson, the ball shops

109
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: to the ground. The Bengals heavens, yes, he'll j Hill

110
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: with a football. Here we go, fourth down and fifteen,

111
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: the Colts at their own forty one. Minshew back to

112
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: throw here trace got him Hey sacksim and that should

113
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: be coffin now. Bam, bam bam.

114
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: And Trey Henderson.

115
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 5: You affected two people, the left tackle Raymond and the

116
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 5: quarterback Minshew. Boy, what a game Trey Henderson had.

117
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, after a loss dropped their record to

118
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: five and six, many people gave up the Cincinnati Bengals

119
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: for dead. Well, guess what you can hear a noise

120
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: in the background. Thump thump, yeah, thump thump, the heartbeat

121
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: very much still beating. The Bengals improved their playoff chances

122
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: as they climb above five hundred with a thirty four

123
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: to fourteen win over the Indianapolis Colts. Here are the

124
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: final stats for Jake Browning. He completed eighteen out of

125
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: twenty four passes, that's seventy five five percent for two

126
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five yards with two touchdowns and one

127
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: interception for a passer rating of one twenty two point seven.

128
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: He added a one yard touchdown run and those numbers

129
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: probably would have been even better if not for a

130
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: bizarro situation early in the fourth quarter where Jake had

131
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: to leave the game and jog to the locker room

132
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: because of cramping in his right hand. AJ McCarron had

133
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: to take his place for five offensive snaps. Here's the

134
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: explanation from Browning thumb.

135
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: Four armed, just saw started.

136
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: Cramport's thumb was just locking up on that could throw

137
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: and then Kane got an IV AND's fine, but yeah,

138
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: it's pretty dumb. But just needed to drink more water

139
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: and collect rots, I guess, and I think sometimes when

140
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: it's cold, you just hunted thirsty. So yeah, I guess

141
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: that's probably the main takeaway from the games. Hydrate better.

142
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: I asked t Higgins about it after the game. Jake

143
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: came back in after being in the locker room. It

144
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: looked like he was maybe joking around about what happened.

145
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: What did he say?

146
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: This is cramping?

147
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 6: He said, you need to drink water. That's why you

148
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: drink water. Eh, you you right, you better drink some water.

149
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 6: Cramping and your thumb is I'm not sure.

150
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'd ever heard of thumb cramping before.

151
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: It is what it is.

152
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 6: Man, I'm just glad it was a series, and I'm

153
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 6: glad he's all right.

154
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: I know you had faith in him, but did you

155
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: honestly think he could play at this level in back

156
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: to back games?

157
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: Sure?

158
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 6: I mean the confidence I mean because he came in

159
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 6: training camp playing like a start in QB. Man, I mean,

160
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 6: this is the tip of iceberg for him. You know

161
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. He ain't doing nothing but showing the

162
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 6: world that what he's capable of. And you're also happy

163
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 6: for him to come in and leave this offense the

164
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 6: way he's been doing and you hope he would keep

165
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 6: going for the rest of the season.

166
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: For the second straight game, Browning got a lot of

167
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: help from the Bengals running attack. At Cincinnati, ran for

168
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven yards and had gains of fifty four,

169
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: forty five and twenty five yard guards on screen passes.

170
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon had one hundred and twenty five combined rushing

171
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: and receiving yards, and Chase brown added one oh five.

172
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Here's mixing two weeks ago. A lot of people at

173
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: giving the Bengals up for dead. How do you feel

174
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: about where things stand right now? Considering how you've played

175
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks.

176
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 7: I feel really good.

177
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 8: I think that everybody been doing the hell of a job,

178
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 8: you know, playing together and everybody just you know, making

179
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 8: plays and being in the right place is when they

180
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 8: need to be. So we just got to keep building

181
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 8: on that and uh, you know, getting better.

182
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: It seemed clear that you guys had confidence and faith

183
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: in Jake Browning, but considering how well he's played, has

184
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: that been elevated the last couple of weeks.

185
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean Jake's been very silent, and that's what

186
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 8: we need him to be in order to win these games,

187
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 8: and I think that you know, by him doing that

188
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 8: playing solid football, I think everything else.

189
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 7: As long as our defense.

190
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 8: Playing the ass off like they are, we're gonna be

191
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 8: in great shame. So we just got to you know,

192
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 8: Keith feen of each other playing complimentary football and everything else.

193
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 8: Don't take care of himself.

194
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: See the screen game.

195
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, basically we knew that.

196
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 8: You know, they like the panic drop a lot, and uh,

197
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 8: the linebackers was going playing the run downhill real hard

198
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 8: like they did, and uh, you know they they was.

199
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 8: I guess Chase had a big run last week, and

200
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 8: we basically complimented that run. You know, Ohio looks and

201
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 8: they played the run and then the past is wide

202
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 8: open and he made a hell of a running catch.

203
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: How about on your screen?

204
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 8: Uh, I can't say it was the same concept, but

205
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 8: you know, coach doubted up at the right time, and uh,

206
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 8: you know, lineman making blocks downfield, and you know, we're

207
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 8: just trying to do whatever we could have to make.

208
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 7: Plays and get yardists.

209
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: You've had back to back games now with more than

210
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: one hundred yards of combined rushing and receiving yards, and

211
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: you look fresh. I mean it looks like week three

212
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: as opposed to approaching mid December.

213
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I felt like I'm only getting strong. Has the

214
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 8: season been going. I mean, I think, you know, by

215
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 8: Chase coming in and whoever it is, you know, coming

216
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 8: in and making plays, I think it's also a great

217
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 8: thing because when you know, they come in, they can't

218
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 8: just play the pass. So it's been a great thing

219
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 8: for them to actually come in and do real good

220
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 8: in the run game. So we just gotta keep it going.

221
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 8: And uh, obviously by us playing U by us running

222
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 8: play actions and things like that, it's.

223
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 4: Been a great thing.

224
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 8: So we just gotta keep going, keep building and doing

225
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 8: whatever we need to do to get the win.

226
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: You said, Monday's win reinforce the idea in the locker

227
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: room that we're the Bengals. We're the team that's been

228
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship Game each of the last two years.

229
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Was that taking up a notch today?

230
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, definitely.

231
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 8: It's gonna keep It's gonna keep taking ticking up notches, man.

232
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 8: So you know, we just gotta keep living on what

233
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 8: you know, we believe in and who we are as

234
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 8: a team, and everything else is gonna take care of itself.

235
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Ingrats on the win. Defensively, the Bengals shut down the

236
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: NFL number eight scoring offense. Indy managed one offensive touchdown,

237
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: averaged two point six yards on running plays. It had

238
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: a passer rating in the low eighties. Chittabey A Wouje,

239
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: its move back into the starting lightup due to Cam

240
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Taylor BRIT's ankle injury, had five tackles and two pass deflections. Chito,

241
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: that was an awesome defensive performance. Those guys has scored

242
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: at least twenty in every game but one. He held

243
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: them to one offensive touchdown today. What did you think

244
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: the key was?

245
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: We came out here hungry.

246
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 9: You know, it was always about us, you know, And

247
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 9: I think we're kind of finding the formula right now,

248
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 9: just with the energy manage like all the you know, formasons, alignments, assignments,

249
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 9: all that stuff.

250
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 7: It's really by energy.

251
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 9: And I think we're just really rolling around each other

252
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 9: and really enjoying playing for one another. And you know,

253
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 9: when we're when the defense is at our best, that's

254
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 9: what we're doing. So I just really feel like we're

255
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 9: starting to hit a stride with our chemistry and it's

256
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 9: starting to show on the field.

257
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: Think you've been excellent for the last couple of weeks,

258
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: do you feel like you're playing as well as ever?

259
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 7: I feel good, you know, I feel really good.

260
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: You know.

261
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 9: Obviously opportunity came and you know I had to step up,

262
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 9: and you know, I always felt like myself. But you know,

263
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 9: sometimes when you get an assignment during the game, before

264
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 9: a game, you just it push on a different mindset,

265
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. So I've been in that

266
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 9: mindset the past couple of weeks. Just this is who

267
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 9: I am, this is what I do. Anyway, So yeah,

268
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 9: I feel good.

269
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: Definitely a lot of young guys in this secondary and

270
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: now dj Ivy is getting some opportunities as well. It

271
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: seems to me to bode really well for the future,

272
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: not only how many young guys are playing, but how

273
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: well they're playing.

274
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think there's any drop off.

275
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 9: I think like we have one of the best I

276
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 9: don't want to jinx us, but truly like talent wise

277
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 9: and just loving the game and you know, being on

278
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 9: top of assignments and stuff. I really think we have

279
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 9: one of the best corner rooms and our coach too,

280
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 9: you know, have a great corners coach and Chuck Burke.

281
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 9: So I think everybody's seen it, Like whoever's been in

282
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 9: they've been up to the task, you know. So and

283
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 9: we have guys who aren't playing around, even Sidney Jones,

284
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 9: you know, who's been a starter in this league, you know,

285
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 9: just we have a very good corner bedroom. So I'm

286
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 9: really excited for the young guys in the future of

287
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 9: this team, see what they do.

288
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: How would you describe Jake Browning's played the last couple

289
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: of weeks.

290
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 7: It's the Jake so not the Lake Show. So I

291
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 7: described it the Jake Show.

292
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: It's been extraordinary. I know everybody in here had faith

293
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: that he could rise to the occasion and play well,

294
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: but that well, yeah.

295
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 7: No, I've always believed it.

296
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 9: I mean it's probably Taper somewhere we're in practice run

297
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 9: when he's making players. I'm just like, that's Jake. You know,

298
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 9: I've played against him in Washington. He was a Heisman

299
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 9: candidate coming.

300
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: In the league.

301
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 7: He's such a knowledgeable guy. You know, he's sits there

302
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 7: with us in the.

303
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 9: dB meetings, you know on Tuesdays, and really you know,

304
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 9: was talking football with us and stuff like that. Like

305
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 9: he has the mind for he has the heart for it.

306
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 9: And now he just has the platform to show for it.

307
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 9: And you know, again we have Joe Burrow, we have

308
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 9: Jake Browning. I don't know if too many teens and

309
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 9: agent even stepped in and almost to a touchdown. Sot like,

310
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 9: we're just blessed, really just top top to bottom in

311
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 9: a lot of position groups.

312
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Did your heart syncavet when he started running toward the

313
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: locker room to have his thumb checked out.

314
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 7: A little bit?

315
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 9: A little bit, Not gonna lie, but I think even

316
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 9: just as a brother, you know, but if that's the

317
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 9: football's football, you know, anything can happen. And in that second,

318
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 9: it was like, okay, defense, what we know we got

319
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 9: to do?

320
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: You know?

321
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 9: So is this you know, balancing all the highs and

322
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 9: the lows of the game.

323
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 7: I'm very happy that he's healthy.

324
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Four games left. You guys have put yourselves right back

325
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: in the hunt.

326
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 9: You gotta take a one game at a time, you know,

327
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 9: keep on one and oh win every day and when

328
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 9: a game happens again, just have the energy. I think

329
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 9: we we kind of find the formula.

330
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Find to watch you doing your thing out there. Congrat

331
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: on the WAMPP.

332
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: Thank you brother.

333
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Wow. Let's hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent

334
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: four and a half minutes with Lap after the game.

335
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 5: Twenty point victory over a team that was five and

336
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 5: one on the road. Every situational, las back, third down,

337
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 5: red zone, you name it. You guys want it and

338
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 5: want to handle it.

339
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean we challenge our team not to give

340
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 10: them anything easy. They've capitalized on That's what good football

341
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 10: teams do. That's why he needs a good team. They've

342
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 10: capitalized on every opportunity and that's part of this league.

343
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 10: And our guys today did a great job in the

344
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 10: second half recapturing their momentum, doing a great job control

345
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 10: the things we can control and putting these guys away.

346
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 10: And I thought it was a really good performance, particularly

347
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 10: in the second half.

348
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: Our team in the two game winning streak. In both games,

349
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 5: the opponent scores fourteen points in two minutes and twenty

350
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 5: seconds in Jacksonville, in twenty five seconds in this football game,

351
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: you guys just adversity. What's I don't know what that

352
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 5: definition is. You guys just so resilient they are.

353
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 10: I mean, that's what team has proven time and time again.

354
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 10: If we just keep adding guys that fit that description

355
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 10: in the locker room and they jump right in the line.

356
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 10: And so you saw a lot of guys step up

357
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 10: today and make key plays in this game. And that's

358
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 10: what this locker room is all about. And I was

359
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 10: proud to see all those guys step up.

360
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 5: Forty two sacks. They came into the game with forty

361
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 5: two sacks, none zero shutout. How good the offensive line played,

362
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 5: to your naked.

363
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: Eye, awesome.

364
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 10: That's a really good defensive line. And our guys responded

365
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 10: to the challenge the right way. And to keep Jake

366
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 10: clean like that was impressive. To keep the run game

367
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 10: going like they did. The screen game was all really

368
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 10: helpful and so really proud of the job those offensive

369
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 10: linemen did.

370
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 5: Game is unbelievable. I mean, your first two screens you

371
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 5: got over one hundred yards are your first two screens

372
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 5: in a touchdown? What what is it about the screen game?

373
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 10: I think we got a lot of variety. The guys

374
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 10: are understand what to do at all all positions. Jake's

375
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 10: done a good job with the timing of it all

376
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 10: and and sometimes it's it's it's it's a great job,

377
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 10: great execution. Sometimes you're catching them in the right look

378
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 10: and that has a lot to do with it too,

379
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 10: But I thought there was I can picture all the

380
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 10: screens we hit and guys making key blocks and key timing,

381
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 10: and it was good to see.

382
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 5: Have you ever had your quarterback struggle with the cramp

383
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 5: and his thumb.

384
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 10: No, no, but it is what it is. Man Aj

385
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 10: was ready to step up on a third downs. Not

386
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 10: fun when it's raining or snowing whatever. It was not

387
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 10: an ideal situation. But Aj went in there and managed

388
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 10: it well and was able to get us move in

389
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 10: a little bit for that field goal and we were

390
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 10: in good shape.

391
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was unbelieved to go in there stone cold,

392
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 5: not even throw one warm up. I mean, that's that's

393
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 5: pretty incredible.

394
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 10: Not a fun situation to be in, you know for

395
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 10: Frey j And so we called a fade route. He

396
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 10: threw a great row to T for a touchdown. Touch

397
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 10: should have been touchdown, and that's not the way. Great job, Brian,

398
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 10: So that's just that's just the way it goes sometimes.

399
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: Red zone. Your defense now has held the opponent without

400
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 5: a point on ten possessions, eight of them coming in. Uh,

401
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: they hit the upright on one and the interception and

402
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 5: then you just scored a touchdown. So they're in there

403
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 5: three times to get seven points. What can you say

404
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 5: about your defense in the red zone.

405
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, the drive is never over with these guys. They

406
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 10: got a belief that they're not giving up points and

407
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 10: they're going to find a way to get a turnover,

408
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 10: find a way to get a fourth down stop, and

409
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 10: and uh, it just rubs off on everybody. And that's

410
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 10: just the general sense when team's getting the red zone

411
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 10: that it's not gonna work out well for him, and

412
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 10: our guys did a great job to do it.

413
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 5: Seemed like on the on the pick six receiver and

414
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: quarterback maybe on a little bit different page execution wise.

415
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: I think that we'll see the tape.

416
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 10: It might have been a tick off the throw and

417
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 10: it gets you know, he's trying to catch it in

418
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 10: the backer.

419
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 7: I saw the replay.

420
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 10: It's it's you know, they they they're on scholarship to

421
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 10: Harrison made a good play. He plucked it out of there.

422
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 10: Sometimes when you're off just by six inches or of foot,

423
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 10: you know, things like that can happen. Sometimes you void

424
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 10: them with an incompletion. Sometimes it goes sideways. But I

425
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 10: thought that Jake did a great job manage the game.

426
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 5: He really did, and you had two takeaways, so you

427
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 5: finished plus one in the turnover department. I know that's

428
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 5: always always a goal for sure. So you get this

429
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 5: one against the Indianapolis Colts. Now you have back to

430
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: back Saturdays. Your team had to go Monday night, short week,

431
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 5: now Saturdays schedule wise? Does it are you pretty like? Okay,

432
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: this is what I was going to do. Did you

433
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 5: decide before the season? Do you change your mind during

434
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 5: the course of the season.

435
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: How does that work?

436
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 10: We've been in the six day weeks before, you know,

437
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 10: coming off a Monday game against the Rams, so you

438
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 10: just follow the same process. It is nicer having to

439
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 10: play at one o'clock home game. I think we're all

440
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 10: pretty tired last week getting up to Friday even so

441
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 10: now you get a chance to get some rest.

442
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 4: Show up.

443
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a short week, but our guys they fallow

444
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 10: the same schedule they followed last week. So we've got

445
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 10: that rhythm down a little bit.

446
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: Short week, Minnesota Vikings and then another Saturday game Pittsburgh

447
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: Steelers in Pittsburgh. But it's just the Minnesota Vikings right now,

448
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 5: and I mean everybody you're playing is still in the playoff.

449
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: Hun is crazy That's the beauty of this league.

450
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 10: Man, everyone's still in it, and unfortunately we're one of

451
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 10: those teams.

452
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 7: We've got to take care of.

453
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,280

Speaker 1: about a twenty five second span in the second quarter.

462
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: That was one heck of impressive performance.

463
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 4: It really was.

464
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 5: I mean, you talk about pick a situation in situational football,

465
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 5: they dominated every one of them, every single one of them.

466
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 5: I know they spend a lot of time on that,

467
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 5: you know, whether it be two minutes drill, whether it

468
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 5: be third down, you know, red zone, whatever the situation is,

469
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 5: they really performed well, dominant. It was really an unbelievable performance.

470
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 5: Like you said, a twenty five second span the week

471
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: four in Jacksonville two minutes and twenty seconds, and for

472
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 5: back to back weeks, to show the resiliency in the

473
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 5: character to let that roll off your back.

474
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 4: I think it's a big deal.

475
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Jake Browning deserves every bit of praise that's coming his way.

476
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: Another great performance. He completed seventy five percent of his

477
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: passes two hundred and seventy five yards two touchdowns. He

478
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: also ran for a score. But I really think you've

479
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: got to give credit to Zach Taylor, Brian Callahan, Dan

480
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: Pitcher and Jake everybody involved in putting together the game

481
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: plan because everything they did suited his strengths.

482
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 5: I agree, And it was diverse and there was a

483
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 5: lot of variety to the run game. Just like the

484
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 5: week before. They didn't run it as much, but it

485
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 5: was effective enough. And I do think that they're they're

486
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 5: given Jake. They're not making his plate one course. They're

487
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: given him three and four course meals, you know, and

488
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 5: they know he can handle it and he's executing an

489
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 5: extremely high level.

490
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: Was his quarterback raining over one hundred.

491
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: And twenty one twenty two point seven.

492
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: That'll work, man, That dog will hunt. And if you know,

493
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 5: I talked to Tanner after the in the locker room

494
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 5: and he said, you know, I probably was a step

495
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 5: or two away from where I should have been, you know,

496
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 5: and then you talk to another guy, you know, well,

497
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 5: the ball wasn't exactly where it should have been. It's

498
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 5: probably a combination. Neither guy's going to point the finger

499
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 5: at the other. But bottom line, that was unfortunate. But

500
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 5: you know, again, they they they it didn't deter them.

501
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 5: Let's put it that way. For them to come out

502
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 5: in the second half and score right away and take

503
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 5: a two score lead and build on that was very,

504
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 5: very impressive.

505
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if Chase Brown had not strained his hamstring

506
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: right at the point where they were planning to start

507
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: working him in more, if this team might have another

508
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: winn or two, because he has made a huge impact

509
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. He had one hundred and

510
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: five combined rushing and receiving yards.

511
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 3: Today.

512
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 4: He's a blur, there's no doubt.

513
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 5: And mentioned it during the game that all often at

514
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 5: halftime and I'm like, what do you think, guy, Chase Brown?

515
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 4: He goes, well, you know, you read these forty.

516
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 5: Times, and you know sometimes it's like, you know, there's

517
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 5: a little puff puff to it And he said, but

518
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: the eyeball test, he passes the eyeball test, he goes

519
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 5: that man can move.

520
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 4: I said, well, coming from you, a track athlete, you

521
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 4: know who is.

522
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 5: The fastest football player of your ear, that's that's saying something.

523
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 5: And he can turn them over. Man, Chase Brown has

524
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 5: got some wheels.

525
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: What'd you think was the key defensively? And holding Indianapolis

526
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: to one offensive touchdown, that's a good offense. Eighth, then

527
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: the NFL in scoring coming.

528
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 5: In, it's incredible that they don't give up on any

529
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 5: any drive. You know, it gets in the red zone

530
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 5: field goal kicker misses his first one from under forty

531
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 5: yards to the right, upright, they get an interception, they

532
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 5: give up one touchdown and three red zone drives. Seven

533
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 5: points and three red zone drives. That'll that'll work for you.

534
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 5: And uh now that now was health the opponent without

535
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 5: a touch without a score, without a point on ten

536
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 5: red zone drives. I mean that that's that's not just

537
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 5: like a you know, a blip in the screen. That's

538
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 5: like that's a consistent thing that they're able to do

539
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 5: and a mentality that they have where we're not going

540
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 5: to let him score We're not gonna We're not gonna

541
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 5: forget limited to a field goal. We're not going to

542
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 5: let him score. That's the mentality they have.

543
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson had a bad roughing the passer penalty that

544
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: contributed to the Colts one touchdown drive. He came back

545
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: from that penalty like a man possessed and dominated the

546
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: left tackle Ryman for the Colts.

547
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: He did.

548
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: I mean it was he had two sacks against Ryman.

549
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 5: Ryman as he's going over on his backside and that's

550
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 5: an embarrassing thing. You know, don't want that to happen

551
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: to you ever, as an offensive lineman, no matter what

552
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 5: level football you're playing, you don't want to be going

553
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 5: over backwards. And then tripped them. So he got a

554
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 5: ten yard penalty out of that one. Not the same

555
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 5: as a quarterback sack because you know you repeat the down,

556
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 5: but still it affected you know, the yards hitting yards,

557
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 5: and I mean he was he was a force off

558
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 5: the edge, and I thought they played the run very,

559
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 5: very soundly. I mean I can remember a bunch of

560
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 5: times where you know, Moss hit it up in there

561
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 5: and he was like there's nothing. I mean, every single

562
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 5: gap can't even bounce can't do anything. Guys were doing

563
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 5: a great job.

564
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: I thought the secondary was excellent today. Chiitabe A Wouje

565
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: has looked like his old self the last couple of weeks.

566
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: Dj Ivy is starting to get opportunities. These young pops.

567
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: They make some mistakes, but there's a lot of talent

568
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: back there.

569
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 5: There is, you know, And there weren't receivers running wide open,

570
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 5: you know. I mean every single ball, or a high

571
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 5: percentage of them were you know, decent coverage. Guy right

572
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 5: there that made a tackle immediately after the catch. I

573
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 5: didn't really you know, in my mind, oh man, we

574
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 5: getting killed on yards after catch. They were tackling and

575
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 5: very soundly and man minimizing yards after catch to the

576
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: point where it was it was almost ridiculous. I thought

577
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 5: Indianapolis had to work hard for everything, and that's a

578
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 5: tribute to the defense for sure.

579
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: So when Jake Browning went running into the locker room

580
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: to have his thumb examined, I did a flashback to

581
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. I'm thinking, oh God, he broke his thumb,

582
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: just like Andy Dalton. AJ mccheron's going to be the

583
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: guy for the stretch run. Thankfully, it was just cramping

584
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: in the thumb and he came right back out. Could

585
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: you tell by his body language or whatever that it

586
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: didn't seem that serious to you?

587
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 5: Not really, because you know how stoic he gets. You know,

588
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 5: it's like he never gets too high with the high,

589
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 5: low with the lows. But you know, looking back on it,

590
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 5: if it had been something of that magnitude, you know,

591
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 5: you could understand him like throwing a helmet or showing

592
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: some kind of disgust or you know, dissatisfaction or whatever.

593
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: And it wasn't really like that. It wasn't really embarrassment.

594
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 5: But at a lot of his team, I've asked a

595
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 5: lot of the teammates, you never heard of every quarterback

596
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 5: leave the game with the cramp and the stuff. They

597
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 5: all look at me and start laughing, you know, and

598
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 5: it's like, no, that's the first. A lot of them

599
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: didn't know what was going on. They just knew that

600
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: he left and he went in the tent, and they're like, Oh,

601
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: what's what's happening here? But that's that's a crazy, crazy thing.

602
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 5: I wonder if it's ever happened to Jake before.

603
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: It's happened to you before, though you've had cramping in

604
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: the hand before.

605
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 5: I have, and right where he right at the ball

606
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 5: and socket, you know, of the thumb that rotates, you know,

607
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 5: in the heat, moving furniture, doing things where there's a

608
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 5: lot of strain and a lot of stress and you're

609
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: you know, really working your hands. I've had cramps in

610
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 5: my thumb and my hands cramp up. And you just

611
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 5: got to keep up with your water. In his situation,

612
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 5: I mean, it was you know, thirty five degrees, and

613
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 5: but it just goes to show you you do have

614
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 5: to even when it weather's like that, you do have

615
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: to drink water, you know, and and make sure your

616
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 5: body's balanced.

617
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: Seven and six, four to go and very much alive, very.

618
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 5: Much alive, I mean, is it's right there. Every game

619
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 5: is against the playoff caliber team. If you keep knocking

620
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: them off, I mean, at some point the tiebreakers will

621
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 5: start to swing your way again. And if you can

622
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 5: get head to head victories against these teams that are

623
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 5: fighting to get in, that's the first tiebreaker. So the

624
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 5: more of those you can get, the better you're going

625
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 5: to be.

626
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: All Right, take care of your hands. Have lots of liquids.

627
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't want any hand cramping going into the broadcast

628
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: next week.

629
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 11: Edward Scissor hands up next a home game against the

630
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 11: seven and six Vikings, who beat the Raiders on Sunday

631
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 11: three nothing, the lowest scoring NFL game in sixteen years.

632
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota lost quarterback Kirk Cousins in Week eight and has

633
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: managed to stay in playoff contention without him. Nick Mullins

634
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: relieved a struggling Joshua Dobbs at quarterback this week and

635
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: led the Vikings to the fourth quarter field goal that

636
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: was enough to win that game. Saturday's game at Paid

637
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: Course Stadium starts at one o'clock. Finally, time for this

638
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: week's fun Facts conversation, where you get to know the

639
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: person under the pads. Time for some fun facts with

640
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: Miles Murphy from Marietta, Georgia, not too far from Atlanta.

641
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: You are one of two boys. You have an older brother, Max,

642
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: he's an electrical engineer. Now, you studied engineering at Clemson.

643
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Why is it about designing and building that appealed to you, guys?

644
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 12: I guess for me, I always kind of followed my

645
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 12: brother's first steps when it came to he started playing football.

646
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 12: I started playing football right after him, and then he

647
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 12: got into engineering so I got curious and kind.

648
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: Of when my own path of engineering.

649
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 12: Because I always grew up I always loved drawing in

650
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 12: like the process of.

651
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: Seeing stated stadiums get built.

652
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 12: So I wanted to construction construction science, which is pretty

653
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 12: much structural engineering civil engineering, and uh, that's kind of

654
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 12: just how Austin from there.

655
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Your dad played college football. He was a linebacker at

656
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee Chattanooga. He got drafted by the USFL's Birmingham Stallions.

657
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: Did he put a ball in your hands at an

658
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: early age.

659
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: No, that's one thing.

660
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 12: My dad really really wasn't big on't He wasn't going

661
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 12: to force.

662
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: Me to play any particular sport.

663
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 12: He did want his His big emphasis was you know,

664
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 12: be active, do something. But he wasn't like you're going

665
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 12: to play football or this, that and the other. Like

666
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 12: I was football, baseball, basketball. I was a three sport

667
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 12: athlete all the way up until my sophomore year of

668
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 12: high school. So it's really like I started playing football

669
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 12: because that's what all my friends played and kind of

670
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 12: just stayed with it.

671
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: Shortly after you got drafted, your dad shared a photo

672
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: with me of you playing baseball when you were seventh grade.

673
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: I believe you're playing first base, there's a base runner

674
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: around the bag. You look about twice his size. Did

675
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: parents from the other teams used to complain that maybe

676
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: you were too old or that they were worried about

677
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: their kids in various youth sports.

678
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 12: Not a BA ball because baseball, like, the only thing

679
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 12: that can hurt you is the ball itself. So it

680
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 12: wasn't It wasn't any complaints about uh baseball, but football

681
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 12: was complaints. Well yeah, football. At football, there were questions.

682
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 12: I wouldn't say complaints, but it was questions. For Sarah,

683
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 12: I was one of the always one of the biggest

684
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 12: persons on the field, but it didn't give me too

685
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 12: much trouble.

686
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: Honestly, we're chatting with Miles Murphy. I've read that as

687
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: a left handed pitcher, you threw ninety miles an hour

688
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: at age fourteen. Why did you decide to give up baseball?

689
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 12: The reason I gave it up because one I wasn't

690
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 12: the most accurate, Two I couldn't hit a curveball, and

691
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 12: then three that last year I was playing baseball, that summer,

692
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 12: I got three offers back to back for football, so

693
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 12: I kind of just won that football rot.

694
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: I think you clearly made the right choice. You were

695
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: one of the highest rank recruits in the country. Do

696
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: you remember the first letter you got from a school

697
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: or the first team that really try tried to recruit

698
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: you hard.

699
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 12: The thing is, I didn't even get any letters. It

700
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 12: was the UJA offer first, and then the letters from

701
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 12: like all over the country. Because the Uga that was

702
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 12: the first like football gamp that I went to. Well school,

703
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 12: that was the first school football camp that I went to.

704
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 12: I went to like a Adida's Army All American Underclassmen

705
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 12: camp and like some other like small camps like that.

706
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 3: But that was the first school cam that I went to,

707
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: and then I got the offer, and then letters came after.

708
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: You could have gone anywhere. You chose Clemson. Why the Tigers.

709
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: One. I wanted to stay in the Southeast. I want

710
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: to stay close to home. Marriott is kind of in

711
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 3: the hot spot. I was two to two and a

712
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: half hours away from all the I guess big schools uh.

713
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 12: Uga, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, South Carolina was about two two.

714
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: Hours, forty five minutes and three hours.

715
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 12: Clemson came out on top because one skiing, I like

716
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 12: their scheme, their edge, guys played the edge.

717
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: I didn't.

718
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 12: I didn't want to necessarily be on the interior any

719
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 12: at all, honestly. And then of course scoring engineering there

720
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 12: they have a good structural structural engineering program or construction

721
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 12: science program, and those those those are probably like the

722
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 12: two biggest pools. And then the well, the last, last

723
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 12: last thing was really just the feeling of how I

724
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 12: felt on each campus, and I just felt the best

725
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 12: on Clemson.

726
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: As any big college football fan. Though it's part of

727
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: the Clemson experience is touching Howard's rock and then sprinting

728
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: down a very steep hill onto the playing field. What

729
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: was your strategy for staying upright sprinting down that hill?

730
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 12: It was more so of a sideways gallop. No, well,

731
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 12: I won't say no one sprinted. Some people did sprint,

732
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 12: but I u Sweeny as soon as Sweeney told us

733
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 12: a story about the thing that he tells tells every

734
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 12: freshman before.

735
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 3: They run down the hill.

736
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 12: It's a decline, then it's a flat part, and then

737
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 12: it's another decline. A player hyper extended his knee on

738
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 12: the flat part because he was striding down the entire.

739
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: Way the same. But he told us the strategy is

740
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: to stride down.

741
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 12: Once you used that flat part, just jump out, just

742
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 12: jump forward, and then you'll just fall into your next

743
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 12: few strides.

744
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: So that was a strategy.

745
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 12: But me, I was always just careful, like there's it's

746
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 12: no point in trying to race down the hill, So

747
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 12: I just did like a sideways gallop and just cruise

748
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 12: my way down.

749
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: I love that the sideways gallop. You were on some

750
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: great teams and had phenomenal teammates at Clemson like Trevor

751
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Travis Etn. What was your favorite part about

752
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: your three years at Clemson.

753
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 12: I mean, honestly, just the people there, like the friendships

754
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 12: that I made there. Honestly, that's a big reason why

755
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 12: I played the sport. Every every team that I go to,

756
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 12: it's a it's just a big fellowship all the time.

757
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 12: Like even even here, just being with the D line

758
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 12: all the time, it's a big fellowship, whether we are

759
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 12: in the meeting rooms, on the field, or just at

760
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 12: home we're on playing Call of Duty. Were like somebody

761
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 12: me and someone the dline were playing Call of Duty yesterday,

762
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 12: Like just the big fellowship. That's that's a big reason

763
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 12: why I play the game, just to create those relationships.

764
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: We're doing fun facts with Miles Murphy. For many players,

765
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: the draft is the highlight of their life to that date,

766
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: at least because it is the reward for so much

767
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: hard work that goes into it. Describe your emotions when

768
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals selected you in the first round.

769
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: Honestly, it was kind of surreal.

770
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 12: I didn't even understand all of it was, of all

771
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 12: of what happened until are you like four three to

772
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 12: four days after, because it was the building up to

773
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 12: the draft day, Draft Draft night, got drafted and then

774
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 12: had a day, had a day in between, and then

775
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 12: the following day got on the got on the jet,

776
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 12: flew up to Cincinnati, then came back and it wasn't

777
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 12: until I got back like when everything started to process

778
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 12: about what all just happened. So it was it was

779
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 12: most definitely just surreal for a few for a few days, honestly.

780
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 3: But Mon's just a good film all right.

781
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: Now, Time for some wild Card topics with Miles Murphy.

782
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: Your family had Atlanta Falcon season tickets when you were young.

783
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: Do you remember any specific games or moments of games

784
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: that you attended?

785
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 12: Ooh, yeah, twenty seventeen Falcons versus Green Bay Packers. That

786
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 12: was our I say hour, that was the Falcons winning season.

787
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 12: I think we went to the super Bowl that year

788
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 12: and it was really just that entire game, not even

789
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 12: just like the play on the field, like the entire

790
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 12: like feeling of the entire stadium the entire time.

791
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: It was just a loud war the entire game because

792
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: it was it was a big game.

793
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 12: And that twenty seventeen season that just kind of just

794
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 12: that lit that fire that we had when Michael Vick

795
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 12: was there.

796
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: Because when Michael Vick.

797
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 12: Was there, the entire city of Atlanta was crazy, like

798
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 12: in a good way, it was. It was just crazy

799
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 12: all the time. So that twenty seventeen season kind of

800
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 12: brought everyone back to brought everyone back to that excitement.

801
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 12: So it was it was it was just it was

802
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 12: just a fun time.

803
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: It was the Super Bowl, lost to the Patriots and

804
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: squandering the twenty eight to three lead a heartbreaker.

805
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 12: It was a heartbreaking for the you know, the die

806
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 12: hard fans, my parents, the season ticket holders. But I

807
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 12: know when we were up twenty eight to three, my

808
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 12: uh my parents' friends, they brought out like two three

809
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 12: big bottles of champagne. Put them, put them on the

810
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 12: ice and then the comeback started, and then once the

811
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 12: Patriots won, it was Champagne was just still sitting there

812
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 12: and I was thinking, I forget, forget how old I was,

813
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 12: but I was just you know, just sitting there.

814
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: Just went upstairs, got on the game. Hey, it is

815
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 3: what it is.

816
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: They should have popped that champagne on your draft nights

817
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: since they couldn't enjoy it after the Super Bowl. As

818
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: you've mentioned your major witch construction, science and management, and

819
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: you have an interest in stadium design. What do you

820
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: consider to be the coolest stadium in terms of design?

821
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 12: Las Vegas Raiders probably the in my opinion, the coolest,

822
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 12: the coolest design inside and out. It's a very nice

823
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 12: looking aesthetic on the outside and the inside. But uh,

824
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 12: if you're just talking about just fan experience on the

825
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 12: inside of the stadium, the Chargers probably have the best

826
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 12: best looking stadium because one, of course, the bright colors

827
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 12: just always brings it just brings a good vibe automatically,

828
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 12: and then the see through roof to let the sunlight

829
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 12: inns always.

830
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: Plus we got to experience at the Super Bowl a

831
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and you're right, till Fi Stadium

832
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: is awesome. Miles, tell me something about you that people

833
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: don't know.

834

Speaker 12: Very into cars, the mechanics, the mechanics of cars.

835
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: I could sit down all.

836
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 12: Day talk about all different types of cars, but this

837
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 12: the engines that I'm very into. If you know me,

838
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 12: then you know that I'm very into cars. But if

839

840
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,560

00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 3: What's the dream car? The dream car?

842
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:58,400

843
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 12: comfort cars, luxury, but the dream car has always been

844
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 12: a Lamborghini. Ve been to the recivj if well, I

845
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 12: do fit in it, but barely.

846
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the disadvantages of being your size. All right,

847
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: final fun fact with Miles Murphy. This one's kind of deep.

848
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,759

849
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: who would that person be?

850
