1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Hello, it's uh, you know, good good win for a 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: football team. I thought we um did some you know 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: some things well here tonight, um um. As we talked 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: about a week, Cincinnati is a you know, good football team. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: They have a lot of a lot of good players, 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: and they certainly gave us some problems, but you know, 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: in the end, we were able to make some big 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: plays and take advantage of and play complimentary football on offense, 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: defund special teams, and so it was really I think 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: the big key for us. So you know, anytime when 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: you can have the kind of advantage we had in 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: turnovers and um, you know, be able to be able 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: to get some of those in the end zone, that's 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. So proud of the way our 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: team competed and um good think you got up regardless 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: of what the record is at Cincinnati. They they got 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: a lot of good football players, and you know, they're 18 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna be a team that's gonna be gonna be 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: very very tough. They are and they're gonna be so 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: oh what about the two big moments I thought in 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: terms of turning around around the first half and work 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: down stop play lay in the first half, Uh, Yeah, 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: they were a big amount of place. Um. You know, 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: certainly we were on the round a little bit defensively 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: after the first drive and then the uh you know, 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: I made a stop on third and one, and then uh, 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: I came in there with our goal line defense on 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: fourth down and I look like we got a real 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: good surge inside Adam Danny and UM, you know, I 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: was a big I was a big play for us. UM. 31 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: You know, Matt Uh again, it works very hard on 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: those those plays of UM in coverage and down in 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: the ball and you know, timing of the tackle and 34 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: the contact with the receiver and so forth. So UM, 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: I made a great play there and UM looked like 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell. I think Baffel came up with the ball. 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: But it was a great effort. You know, when you 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: have two guys down there, it's sometimes you get the 39 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: ball out you know the other guy there and you 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: end up getting it. So, UM, those two guys done 41 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: a great job for us in punt cover region. You know, 42 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Jake had another good day punting the ball. Nick had 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: a good day kicking the ball. So that was you know, 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: it was a big points for us. How good right? Now, 45 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: play right? Great bench. I made a great play on 46 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: the ball, great catch, um, you know, weapon and a 47 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: high point and another one and he's you know, he's 48 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: he's playing well. Jac played well on the opportunities he 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: had to make plays on the ball. I thought, you know, 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: we covered. I thought we covered really pretty well. Um, 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, Iffort's really I mean we're all over him 52 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: and he goes up and you know, makes a couple 53 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: of great catches. Um. I mean he's Iffort's really a 54 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: good player. And um, obviously Mixing is maybe the best 55 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: back in the league. You know, probably is the best 56 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: back in the league. I mean he runs so hard, 57 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: he's so hard to tackle. And uh a J. Green's 58 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: probably best receiver in the league. You know. Unfortunately he 59 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to play for for the Bengals issue here, 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: but I mean you're talking about, you know, a great back, 61 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: a great receiver and you know, a tight end. It's 62 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: almost uncoverable. So um, but yeah, I thought stuff and 63 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: all of our guys stepped up stuff J C. John, Um, 64 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: you know Pat Devn. I mean these guys were tough 65 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: to handle. You know, Bernard out of the backfield and 66 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: he's another good another tough guy to cover. So I 67 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: thought our guys really try to compete. It wasn't perfect, 68 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: but I mean these guys are hard to cover. You 69 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: don't add one word, Um, they're acting to get up 70 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the fire. Yeah, I think you know, we we had 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: some pressure. Um, you know, we didn't always get to him, 72 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: and and Dalton made a couple of good throws under pressure. 73 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: I'm into one to effort. I thought we were we 74 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: were there. Um you know, we hit another one that 75 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: I think was the ross and we were right there 76 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: on that one too, And um, so you know we 77 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: were we were close on some of those and it 78 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: was just like a split second away from being there. 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: But um, I thought we you know, I thought we 80 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: had decent pressure on the quarterback and maybe that you know, 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: contributed to a couple of the um the throws. You 82 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: might have affected them a little bit, but they were 83 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: all tough catches. I mean Jac's catch on the sideline 84 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: is on both side. But the first one, uh to 85 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, make the play and come down to and bounds, 86 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: and the second one where he'd you know, look back 87 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: and high pointed the ball and you know it was 88 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: a good play too. So you know we had to 89 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: work for this. It wasn't like a loping right too. 90 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: It was the one that you know, fluttered up in 91 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: the air. It could have been any of bas ball. Um. 92 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: You know, Mixing made a good playoffs. So, um, the 93 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: run had well, I mean we're working at it. We 94 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: played run pretty solidly all year. But you know, I 95 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: had trouble today. I mean, I I don't don't think 96 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: too many people would have created that. Both teams would 97 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: have rushed over five yards of carrier or whatever it was. 98 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. It seemed like it was something like that. 99 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: It was a lot. Um, we ran the ball well 100 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: and then they ran it, you know, better than we 101 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: wanted them to run it. But um, kind I think 102 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: you gotta give Mixing a lot of credit on you know, 103 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of plays or we had them, and 104 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean the toss play the first one that he 105 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: hit on us. Five guys missed him, and we emphasized 106 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: it all week. I mean, we knew this guy was 107 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: you know, it was tough guy to tackle. He's a hard, 108 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: hard runner and and uh we were ready for him. 109 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: He just you know, he just did a good job. 110 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: And so you know, no matter how much you prepare 111 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: and talk about it's little different we actually play against him, 112 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: But I mean this guy's as good as any back 113 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: we played all year. Is still over the playoffs, I 114 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: mean anything. Yeah, Well that's what you play for. You know, 115 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: you play to keep playing. So um, you know, you 116 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: win three, four or five games. I mean there's big 117 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: wins along the way there, but you know, you don't 118 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: really get anything for winning that. You know, five six, 119 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: seven wins in this league, that doesn't matter. But when 120 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: you can, you know, win enough to play in the 121 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: postseason and that's you know, that's one of our goals. 122 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: And so it's a good thing. You know, we'll be 123 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: able to you know, continue our season. We just you know, 124 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: did you take it one time, one week at a 125 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: time and just continue to get better and improve on 126 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: the things we can I move on and keep the 127 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: strengths that we have a strengths and try to play good, 128 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: complimentary football and all three phases of the game. Oh, 129 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: you've been doing this sort of while. I'm sure you 130 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: remember what it was like when you first started out 131 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: with words he had just coach Taylor, I said, they 132 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: have a good football team. I mean, they got a 133 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: lot of good players. Um. You know, we had a 134 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: really hard time with Dunlap and defensive line. Atkins hovered 135 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: all those guys and I was mental pendans and skill 136 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: players so good kicker, good punter. Um. You know, they 137 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: got great depth of the skill player. You know, they 138 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: lost two of the best players where you know, without 139 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Green and Um, Um, you could have got hurtly house 140 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: last week nineteen Um tight right, you know, losing I mean, 141 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, losing the top two players there, that's that 142 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: takes a lot. So they're very they're tough, they're competitive, 143 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: they're they're good in all three phase of the game. UM. 144 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: You know, as always we had trouble you know on 145 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: special teams with coach Simmons and and that unit. You know, 146 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: they almost got a pawn on us. Um. You know, 147 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: they're they're are good. They're very good unit. And that's 148 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: why they ranked at the top one in the league. 149 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: So that was a big challenge for our guys and 150 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: special teams. But you know, it's a good football team, 151 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: has a lot of good players and um, and I'm 152 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: sure there they will come to a lot of the voices. 153 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: They came either directly from turnovers or front turn on 154 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: short fields on the offenses. Oh, it's always good to 155 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: get you know, take advantage of those and get the 156 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: ball in the end zone. And um that was you know, 157 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: that's the key is to capitalize on the you know, 158 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: on those opportunities. Let me look, when you're on offensive defense, 159 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: you don't control field position. You get the ball where 160 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: you get it, or you go in where you or 161 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: they get it. So they get the ball in your 162 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: one year on line and that's where you play defense from. 163 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: And you know if you get it on their twenty, 164 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: then that's where you play offense from. You can't control that. 165 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: But you can't control is getting the ball in the 166 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: end zone. And that's a good thing. So you know, 167 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: we ran the ball better, don't There's some things that 168 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: we could certainly do better.
