Speaker 2: made into a movie. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: greatest thing since Why We Love Baseball. That's the name

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: of a book by former Cincinnati sports writer Joe Posnansky.

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: That's a countdown of fifty memorable moments in baseball history,

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: some famous, some obscure. For example, in nineteen sixty two,

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: as rookie pitcher Gaylord Perry took batting practice, his manager

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Alvin Dark remarked that we'll have a man on the

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: moon before he hits a home run. Seven years later,

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: exactly thirty four minutes after Neil Armstrong became the first

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: man to walk on the moon, Perry hit the first

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: of his six career home runs. The book is filled

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: with great stories like that, and nobody tells them better

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: than Joe Posnansky. So while this is a Bengals podcast,

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: I think just about any sports fan would enjoy the

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: book Why We Love Baseball. Now, let's get to football

31
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: and the race me a replays from last night's win.

32
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Sports history is filled with memorable stories of great athletes

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: overcoming injuries and illness to triumph.

34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: The Michael Jordan flu game, Kurt Schilling.

35
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: In his bloody sock, and Tiger Woods winning a US

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: Open on a broken leg. Tonight, Joe Burrow will gut

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: it out and try to lead the Bengals to a

38
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: badly needed victory despite a nagging calf injury. It's a

39
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: rematch of Super Bowl fifty six the Bengals and Rams

40
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football, and it is time for the

41
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: pigskin to fly in the jungle. Stafford sends Nikua in motion,

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: fakes a handoff, looks to throw under pressure and sacked

43
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: by DJ Rider back at the thirteen yard line to

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: snap the placement and the right footed kick. It is

45
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: right down the middle and the Rams are on the scoreboard.

46
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: But they get three seven and take a three to nothing.

47
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: Leave Money Matt two for four and his field goal

48
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: attempts this season. He missed from fifty six in the

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: first quarter. This will be a forty nine yard try

50
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: from the left. Hash Adam might as well snap, Robbins

51
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: will hold. Here comes, the kick gets on its way

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: and it is good and the Bengals tie it on

53
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: a forty nine yard field goal by Evan Macpherson. The

54
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Rams at their own thirty Stafford back to throw, has

55
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: to scramble sidearm.

56
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: Throw pick picked off, intercept it at the forty one

57
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: by Logan Wilson, and the Bengals will start in Rams

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: territory with three point thirty eight left in the half.

59
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: A big assist to Trey Henderson. His pressure caused that interception.

60
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Here comes the fifty three yard kick.

61
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: It looks like the tray down the middle, and it

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: is good to tie the score. At halftime, the Rams

63
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: will go empty. Three received right to left, Stafford ready

64
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: at well, goes in jet motion.

65
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: Stafford to throw.

66
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: Patrickson has him and Saxon at the twenty five. That's

67
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: the matchup right now, Trey Hendrickson against the backup left

68
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: tackle Zach Thomas. Sixty one yards on the drive so far.

69
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: The Bengals started at their own twenty five. They're down

70
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: to the fourteen of LA, trailing by three. Burrow gives

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: to Mixing, Joe.

72
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: Finds him up the middle. He runs into the end zone.

73
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: Touchdown Bengals, and now he does a jungle jump into

74
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: the crowd, sitting with the fans after scoring a go

75
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: ahead touchdown with five point thirty four left in the

76
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: third quarter.

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: It's the first lead of the season for the Cincinnati Bengals.

78
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: They finally are playing with a.

79
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: League quick snap. Stafford to throw again over the middle,

80
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: deflected and picked off at the twenty two.

81
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: It was deflected Wilson and picked.

82
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Off by Logan Wilson.

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: Hilton deflected it gets up begins celebrating with his teammates.

84
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: The Bengals get their second pick, both by Logan Wilson,

85
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: and have it at the twenty one yard line. First

86
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: and ten Bengals at their own twenty five. They lead

87
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: by four four to forty eight left in the third quarter.

88
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: Now they line up in a pistol formation. They fake

89
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: a toss to the left. Burrow throws downfield. Chase catches

90
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: at the fifty, looks for a cutback and gets tackled

91
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: inside the thirty five. He's brought down at the thirty

92
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: two by Jordan Fuller forty three yards to Newmero.

93
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Uno the gadget.

94
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: The gimmick called at a perfect time man. That was beautiful.

95
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Stafford back to pass again.

96
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: Here comes the rushho nailed by Hendrickson, who is abusing

97
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: Zack Thomas.

98
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Hey sack Stafford at the twelve yard line.

99
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: This will be a fifty four yard field goal attempt

100
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: for Evan McPherson. He's made three field goals so far tonight,

101
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: one from fifty plus. Here comes the right footed kick.

102
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: He has the distance.

103
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: It is good money. Mac delivers.

104
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: He's hit from forty eight, forty nine, fifty three and

105
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: fifty four and the Bengals have a ten point lead

106
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: nineteen to nine. With seven thirteen to go, Miles Murphy

107
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: checks in for fresh legs. Stafford back to pass under pressure,

108
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: sacked Sam Hubbard's got him at the forty yard line

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: for a seven yard sack. The Rams looking for a

110
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: touchdown to pull within three. At Well goes in motion

111
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: out to the left. Stafford looking his way, he throws

112
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: nobody near two two at Well he makes the catch

113
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: for a Rams touchdown. With sixty three seconds left in regulation,

114
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: one oh three to go. Maher ready for the on

115
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: side kick, the Bengals up three. He dribbles it forward,

116
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: the Bengals recoverent Mitchell Willcox grabbing the ball at the

117
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: forty six and that is coffin nails.

118
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Bam bam bam you, sir, Mitchell will Cox. Big play

119
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: right there.

120
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: Burrow takes the snap, he takes a knee. The Rams

121
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: cannot stop the clock and the final thirty three seconds

122
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: will tick down as the Bengals get a desperately needed

123
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 2: win and beat the Rams nineteen to sixteen. So let's

124
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: get to Joe Burrow. He said after the game that

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: his calf started to improve on Friday, and by Sunday

126
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: he knew he would be able to play, But Jamar

127
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: Chase says he didn't know his quarterback would play until

128
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: the pregame warm ups.

129
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: I didn't want him to play for I told him

130
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: that again after the game.

131
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: I was like, you got nuts, boil.

132
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: I didn't want you to play NALS.

133
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: So I mean, let's just show us that. You know,

134
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Joe's part headed, but you know he's a football player, man,

135
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: and you can't knock him from being tough like that.

136
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: And they don't make too.

137
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: Many quarterbacks toff like that. He said, Oh yeah, man,

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: if you gonna come to practice like that.

139
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: You want to you gonna have that type of work ethicity, you.

140
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying.

141
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: And it takes a lot to be a quarterback and

142
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: still play injured.

143
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

144
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna rust every play.

145
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: You got a drop every play, So you know he

146
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: got a lot of balls to be all definitely. Burrow

147
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: finished twenty six for forty nine for two hundred and

148
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: fifty nine yards, with no touchdowns, one pick, and a

149
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: passer rating of fifty nine point eight. Those numbers would

150
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: have been better if not for some uncharacteristic drops by

151
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: t Higgins. Most importantly, Burrow said after the game that

152
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: there were no setbacks and his calf feels much better

153
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: than it did. After the Baltimore game, Dave Lapham talked

154
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: to Burrow in the locker room.

155
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: I gotta congratulate you as much as anything. I'm telling you,

156
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: his former offensive lineman. You inspired me, man, I mean

157
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: that was an inspirational performance. Toughness, physical, mental, How do

158
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: you do it?

159
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 6: Well?

160
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 7: We got through it. We got through it. That's the

161
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 7: game you find through injuries. That's part of it. We

162
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 7: gotta get better. I wasn't good enough tonight, but it

163
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 7: was good enough to win, good enough to win.

164
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you, man, I mean the leadership that

165
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 4: you showed tonight. I mean you lifted your football team

166
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 4: by just going out there and doing what you did.

167
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not sure that you have a full

168
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: I guess you probably do have a full grasp of

169
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: what you mean to this football team. Was that part

170
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: of your thought process whether you we're gonna play or not?

171
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we needed this one.

172
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 7: We needed this one. You can't go in three and

173
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 7: expect to reach the goals that you want to reach.

174
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 7: I know it's a long season, but you start out

175
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 7: owing three, it's gonna it's going to sell you back.

176
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 7: So we needed this one bad. So I wanted to

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 7: be out there for my guys.

178
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: I'll give you a stat to back up your comment

179
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 4: on that two hundred and fifty one game. Since the

180
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: Super Bowl era two hundred and fifty one teams have

181
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 4: started owing three, six have made the playoffs.

182
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: So it's big.

183
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 4: This is big now since twenty twenty when they redid

184
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: the playoff format, one in two teams thirty almost one

185
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: out of every three make the playoffs.

186
00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 5: This was huge.

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: It wouldn't Yeah, we needed it.

188
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 7: We needed a bad defense stepped up big time. They

189
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 7: played really well all night. Oline played really well all

190
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 7: night as well. We got a lot to improve on,

191
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 7: but it's a good start.

192
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: And finally, was there any point in the game where

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: man suck a jazzed a little bit on me? I mean,

194
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600

195
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: like that or how did it go for it?

196
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:20,480

201
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: I guess I lied one fund. When you get hit

00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: like you did, I was like, man, I was holding

217
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: the first half this year, but on their first possession

218
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: of the second half, they put together a ten plays,

219
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: seventy five yard drive that ended with Joe Mixon's fourteen

220
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run. It gave them a lead they never relinquished.

221
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: Joe finished with nineteen carries for sixty five yards to

222
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,040

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: did you need this tonight?

224
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: You needed a.

225
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 8: Bet, you know, as a unit, as a whole team.

226
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 8: It was ugly first half, but you know we got

227
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 8: it together, came out with the dough. It was the

228
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 8: most important.

229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 9: Yeah.

230
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: So it's a.

231
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 8: Great thing, a great villain and half described the touchdown run. Yeah, man,

232
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 8: so pretty much got a double team up to the

233
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 8: linebacker and it blocked they will, I hit it backside

234
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 8: cut back and just you know, ran a safety and

235
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 8: ran into the touchdown.

236
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 5: What was it mean?

237
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: Everybody in the room that Joe Burrow goutted it out

238
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: and played.

239
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 8: I mean, it was a great thing man, to you know,

240
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 8: show his grit and you know, his will and want

241
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 8: two to pull up with us and to play this

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 8: here Monday night and come through and deliver.

243
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 5: So it was a great thing for us.

244
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: Six sacks to take aways for the defense against a

245
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: really good offense. What'd you think?

246
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 5: Man? They played their ass off. They played great football.

247
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 8: All of them guys was hyped up. They was playing

248
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 8: with energy and it was all will and want two

249
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 8: and I'm just you know, happy to them guys. Was

250
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 8: getting to the quarterback and they always looking damn good,

251
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 8: so you know, I'm just happy for them.

252
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: It's really hard to come back from zero to three

253
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs.

254
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: So to get this one, how important is it to

255
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: the group.

256
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 5: It was very important.

257
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 8: We've been in this position before and we didn't got

258
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 8: out of it and obviously got on top and real close.

259
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: To the finish line.

260
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 8: So I think we'll get back as long as, you know,

261
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 8: we just keep handling it, handling it one week at

262
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 8: a time, one day at a time, just keep going

263
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 8: and keep studying, doing all the little things, and I

264
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 8: feel like we'll be in a great position.

265
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 5: Man.

266
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: Is it elation or relief to get the win tonight?

267
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: It was more so.

268
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 8: We firmly got that first one out of the way,

269
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 8: and uh, it's a big si relief and now it's

270
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 8: time to you know, get ready for Tennessee.

271
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Perhaps the biggest key to the win with Cincinnati's pass rush,

272
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: the Bengals had six sacks and ten quarterback hits. Trey

273
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: Hendricks said had two of the sacks and two more

274
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: that were negated by penalties. The Bengals also had a

275
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: pair of takeaways on interceptions by linebacker Logan Wilson bog proud.

276
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: Are you of the entire group tonight?

277
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 10: Yeah?

278
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 6: When we stayed together the entire game and found a

279
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 6: way to win. Sometimes it's not always pretty to get

280
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 6: wins in this league, and that's a good team. Got

281
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 6: a lot of respect for him and at the end

282
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: of the day, we're fund about to get to win.

283
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 5: That's the most fun thing.

284
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: We'll get to your interceptions, I promise, But the pass

285
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: rush sacks a couple that were negated by penalties for

286
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: pressure rush relentless.

287
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

288
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 6: I mean even there are all my interceptions, there was

289
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 6: a tim ball that night, so I was when that

290
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: most pressure.

291
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 5: So we were getting after all night. I'm not letting

292
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 5: him get comftable, because.

293
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: If you let a quarterback like that get comfortable, he's

294
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 6: actually going to pick your apartment.

295
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the interceptions now, you described one.

296
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: You've had a knack for this throughout your NFL career.

297
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: I think that's nine picks now, yeah.

298
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you got to take the ones that

299
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 6: they come to you. And I had two opportunities to

300
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 6: make play on the ball and I just ended up

301
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 6: making workplace.

302
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: What it means that Joe answered the Bell and played

303
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: this game.

304
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a tough, gutsy performance from our franchise quarterback.

305
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 6: You know, he doesn't need to be coming out you're

306
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 6: going to do that, but he had the sands, the

307
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 6: important on at the end. That's so, this is the

308
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 6: type of guy you want leading this team, lead this organization.

309
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: That's why I'm paying the big bucks.

310
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: I'm always hesitant to use the term must win. It's

311
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: so early in the season, a lot of things can happen,

312
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: but it's obviously a critically important win.

313
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 4: Yes.

314
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely, you always want to get back in the win

315
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 6: columb You don't want to go in three you start.

316
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: The season because then your chances obviously.

317
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 6: Of getting to the playoffs or pretty slim. We understood that,

318
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 6: and we kind of view this as a game we

319
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 6: needed to win anyway in front of our homecount and

320
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 6: they they'd certainly helped the sign.

321
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: The Rams offense was off to a great start this season.

322
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: To shut them down to that extent, it was a

323
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,239
Speaker 2: pretty remarkable performance.

324
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.

325
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: I mean, we had a good game plan all week,

326
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 6: best we can practice going in and we were able

327
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 6: to execute.

328
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 5: Grants on the way. Thank you.

329
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: We had to win the Bengals are one and two

330
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: and a game behind the other three teams in the

331
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: AFC North Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Cleveland are all two and one.

332
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: The Ravens and Browns face each other this week in Cleveland.

333
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: The Steelers have a road game at Houston. Now let's

334
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent a few

335
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: minutes with Lap after the game.

336
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: Win number one. It's always hardest to get the first one,

337
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 4: and you got it.

338
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're speaking the truth. You know.

339
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 10: It was like pulling teeth to get this first win.

340
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 10: But now that we got that off our back, you're

341
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 10: gonna see this team free up. And by the way,

342
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 10: we know how to play.

343
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: You got that lead and then you built on the lead.

344
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: I mean, it's took a while to get that first

345
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: lead of the season. How different is it calling plays

346
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: when you're calling plays with the lead.

347
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's nine to day different, you know. And it

348
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 10: allows the defense to play a lot free er too.

349
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 10: There's not so much pressure on them to give up

350
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 10: points and the other team expand on the lead. So

351
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 10: I thought in the second half, we had great team

352
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 10: effort in all three phases and allowed us to get away.

353
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: With this one.

354
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: What can you say about Joe Burrow? I mean he

355
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: was inspirational as a former player. I'm like, boy, this dude,

356
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: I'd follow him anywhere. If he told me to put

357
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 4: on a gasoline suit and walk through Hell, I'd do it.

358
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, we can't take it for granted. You know, a

359
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 10: guy playing through an injury like that at the position

360
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 10: he is, there's so much mental that goes on and

361
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 10: he's got to deal with the physical as well, and

362
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 10: so probably that he's our quarterback.

363
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 4: What about Jamar Chase twelve receptions for one hundred and

364
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: forty one yards, one short of the team record, a

365
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: career high for him obviously. How big was Jamar today?

366
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's tough because they were trying to cloud him

367
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 10: and move around with them the whole game, and so

368
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 10: we were just finding different ways to get him the

369
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 10: ball and he made it paid off for us big

370
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 10: time whenever he was going to get his hands in

371
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 10: the ball.

372
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: Did the la Rams defensively do anything that you didn't anticipate?

373
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 4: Made quick adjustments if they did.

374
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, they play a lot of two say if you looks,

375
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 10: try to keep things in front, minimize the explosives. Let

376
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 10: Aaron Donald go to work. And I thought our offensive

377
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 10: line did an outstanding job controlling their front and allowing

378
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 10: Joe to have the time to throw the ball.

379
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: I thought both defenses were tough to work against. Aaron Donald,

380
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: obviously inside is a dominant figure. Trey Hendrickson on the edge,

381
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: he had four sacks, only two of them counted. Unfortunately

382
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 4: there were a couple that were deleted by penalty. But

383
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 4: he was given Thomas a real world of problems on

384
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: that edge.

385
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 5: He sure was. And Trey had a great game.

386
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 10: And usually when he's having a great game and these

387
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 10: the other guys are doing their job and eating the

388
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 10: box as well, and he's finished it off. So really

389
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 10: proud of our defense as a whole today.

390
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 4: The defense third down, they were zero for ten. They

391
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 4: go one for eleven because they get a third down

392
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 4: on the touchdown, So they were zero for three in

393
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 4: the red zone and they get the third down, they're

394
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: only third down conversion, they're only touchdown on that same play.

395
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: But that is a dominant performance.

396
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: It sure is.

397
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 10: You know, when a team can't extend the drives to

398
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 10: where they are and they got to be so efficient

399
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 10: on first second down, makes it really difficult, and so

400
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 10: again our defense did a great job. Lou did a

401
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 10: great job mix up the calls, put them in really

402
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 10: good positions. That was great to see.

403
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: You had some difficulty on third down because you were

404
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: facing so many third and ten or more. It was crazy.

405
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 4: I mean in the first half all seven of you

406
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 4: third down conversions that weren't converted were ten yards or more,

407
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 4: and there were some false starts and penalties that created

408
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: problems for you. There's always things to clean up. That

409
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 4: seems to be a big one.

410
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, first half we just didn't play good enough. Whether

411
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 10: it was penalties, whether it was bad play calls to

412
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 10: get us out of rhythm, whether it was drops. We

413
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 10: just weren't weren't all on the same page. I thought

414
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 10: we'd really cleaned it up and did a much better

415
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 10: job than second eighty.

416
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 4: Joe Mixing all year long, has finished every run. I

417
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 4: mean I can't think of a run where he was

418
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 4: he's been knocked backwards. I mean, he seems to be

419
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: running behind his pads and finishing everything.

420
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think Joe's giving us exactly what we need

421
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 10: from him and the run in the pass game. So

422
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 10: that's been really good to see.

423
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: Coach, Now, have you had a long week and now

424
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 4: you have the Monday night game? Have a short week.

425
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've got this, this whole thing planned out,

426
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: but how difficult is a short week of preparation in

427
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: the National Football League.

428
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 10: It's challenging for the coaches. You've got to put together plan.

429
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 10: But they've already been working on that. So we'll get

430
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 10: the players extra day off of the legs here, do

431
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 10: a walk through on Wednesday, and get back to full

432
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 10: speed on Thursday.

433
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: Appreciate your time. Congratulations on the big win. Here we go. Now,

434
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: you guys are known for springing a few together, coach,

435
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: so we're expected it.

436
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: That's what we're going on the other man.

437
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,040

442
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: recap lap Last Monday night, the Steelers beat the Browns

443
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: because of Pittsburgh's defense, they scored a couple of touchdowns.

444
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 2: The offense really didn't do much. They didn't have to

445
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: The Bengals offense was better tonight then the Steelers offense

446
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: was last week. But the defense won this game.

447
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 4: There's no doubt. I mean when you look at some

448
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: of the critical stats. I mean, they were zero for

449
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: ten on their first ten third downs. They converted one

450
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: and it happened to be the touchdown at the end

451
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: of the football game. So they get a third down conversion.

452
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: They get their only red zone touchdown on the same play.

453
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 4: So three possessions before that, three field goals, one for

454
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: four in the red zone, one for eleven on third down?

455
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Against the team that came into

456
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: the league. It came into the game second in the league,

457
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 4: and third down percentage, I mean, it's crazy. The Bengals

458
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: defense definitely stepped up and said, we've got a quarterback

459
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 4: that's sucking it up. He's inspirational, we're inspired. We're going

460
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: to play inspired, and they did.

461
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers have a great defense. The Rams

462
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: went up and down the field against San Francisco last week.

463
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: Now San fran ultimately won the game by seven, but

464
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: it wasn't because the forty nine Ers defense dominated. It

465
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: was because the offense was great, whereas the Bengals were

466
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: able to do a much better job against that Rams

467
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: offense than even the great forty nine Ers defense did.

468
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely, they controlled the ground game that wasn't an issue.

469
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 4: And then they teed off on Stafford, I mean teed

470
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: off on him, and lu An Arumo was at his

471
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: doctor defense best. I mean he had seven guys at

472
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: times in the box and Staffords seeing ghost, who's coming,

473
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: who's not, you know, simulated pressures and it was it

474
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 4: was remarkable. And then you had Trey Henderson just dominating Thomas.

475
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: Thomas is gonna have nightmares TONI when he closes his eyes,

476
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: he's going to see ninety one blown by him up

477
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: the football field, tom So. And then you know, others

478
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 4: did their job as well. I mean, Trey was a

479
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: huge factor. He was the initial pressure guy, and other

480
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: guys were in the lanes they were supposed to be in.

481
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: Sam Hard got his sack and other guys, you know,

482
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: get pressures as well. But Matthew Stafford was not comfortable.

483
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 4: They made him get off his spot and he was

484
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 4: very inaccurate, and he came into the league, into the game,

485
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 4: I should say, top five in the league in attempts completions,

486
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: and yards, and tonight wasn't like that.

487
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: At six ZHO two tonight, Joe Burrow walked out of

488
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: the tunnel onto the field a little more than two

489
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: hours before kickoff. He sat down on the bench. Jamar

490
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: Chase sat down next to him. Jamar said he didn't

491
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: know at that point whether Joe was going to play

492
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: or not, and Jamar told him not to. He continues

493
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: to insist that he just wants Joe to take however

494
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: much time is needed to fully recover. Well, Joe Burrow

495
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: was going to do that. If he could walk tonight

496
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: without excruciating pain, he was going to play. And I think,

497
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: with the possible exception of Jamar Chase, everybody else in

498
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: that locker room really was wowed by the fact that

499
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: he would gut it out and do whatever was necessary

500
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 2: to win this game.

501
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 5: I agree with you.

502
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 4: I think his offensive line was inspired, the defense was inspired,

503
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: and Jamar had twelve catchers one hundred and forty one yards,

504
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 4: So he ended up the beneficiary of some pretty good stuff.

505
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 4: He came with an impersonal high, obviously, and came within

506
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 4: one of tying the franchise record of thirteen by Carl Pickens.

507
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 4: So and I did get a chance to talk to

508
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 4: Joe after the game, and he said, none worse for

509
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: the wear, but still have work to do. I mean physically.

510
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: You know, he's not done with the rehab or anything. Obviously,

511
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 4: he's never said he's one hundred percent, so he hasn't

512
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 4: been one hundred percent. But for him to go out

513
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 4: there and do what he did. I told him, man,

514
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: when you got smashed, I was holding my breath a

515
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: little bit. He goes, you know that happens. It's the

516
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 4: National Football League. Guys are gonna guys are gonna hit you.

517
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 4: But he, uh, he is a courageous dude.

518
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 5: Man.

519
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: He's one tough ombre physically and mentally.

520
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: If the Bengals and Rams don't meet in the Super Bowl,

521
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals might never have to see Aaron Donald again,

522
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: which the offensive line would appreciate.

523
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 4: That dude is just a game wrecker. There's no other

524
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 4: way to put it. He is a human bowling ball.

525
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: You know, I thought, Okay, run at him because a

526
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 4: lot of times he's given that first step quickness thing

527
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 4: and if you kind of run on him, if he

528
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: guesses wrong, you can gash him. But he was knocking

529
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 4: people backwards I mean, you know, he's six feet tall

530
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 4: and he's two hundred and eighty pounds. I mean, it's ridiculous.

531
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 4: He is a fire hydrant that has extreme short space quickness.

532
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 4: He is a genetic rarity. There is no question about that.

533
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 4: And you know we talk all the time in the

534
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 4: offensive and defensive line about leverage pad level. He's automatically.

535
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: You have to come out in your hands and knees

536
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 4: to get under his pads. And he's so strong and

537
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 4: powerful and explosive. He's got that low pad level. Then

538
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 4: all that other stuff to follow that is a that

539
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 4: is a task, that's a tall order blocking that.

540
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 5: Dude.

541
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you a question I asked Joe Mixon.

542
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 2: Is the emotion tonight elation or relief?

543
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 5: That's a damn good question.

544
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 4: I think it's both, you know, I do think I

545
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: think elation. You know, it's hard to win in the NFL,

546
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: no matter who you're playing. As we saw, there's some

547
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: huge upsets this week. I mean, who expected the Jaguars

548
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 4: to get handled? Who expected Denver to give up seventy

549
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 4: points and and twenty six yards? I mean, there were

550
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 4: some crazy things that took place and Denver's defense could

551
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 4: go out next week and play like a top five defense,

552
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 4: like I think they really are. So you just never know.

553
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 4: So you take victories, you never take them for granted.

554
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 4: So there's some relief there, but I think there's elation

555
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 4: as well.

556
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: One of those upsets yesterday was also the Colts over

557
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens in Baltimore, and Matt Gay was the hero

558
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: with four field goals of fifty three plus. Evan McPherson

559
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: didn't do that, but he didn't miss that by much.

560
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: Forty eight, forty nine, fifty three, fifty four and a

561
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: miss from fifty six. I guess it was. I mean,

562
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: we take his greatness for granted. A forty eight yard

563
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: field goal for him seems like a twenty two yard

564
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: field goal for most kickers.

565
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: It is incredible. I mean, the fifty six yarder had plenty.

566
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: He just you know, overcooked it a little bit, just

567
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: pulled it slightly and it hooked. It hooked wide left.

568
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: But man, this guy, when he when he strikes the ball,

569
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 4: it's like his his leg speed is incredible and I

570
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 4: don't know how he doesn't dislocate his leg from his

571
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: hip when he swings, swings as hard as he swings

572
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 4: all the time, but he is he is a unique

573
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 4: and special talent. And you know what a weapon when

574
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 4: you have somebody like that that you know, you know,

575
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 4: just like Baltimore experiences, when you have great kickers and

576
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: you know it's going to come down to a potential

577
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 4: game winner, and all you have to do is, you know,

578
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 4: get the ball to the forty yard line, maybe even

579
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 4: the forty five. You might still have a shot. I

580
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 4: mean that that is ridiculous that that gives you. And defensively,

581
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 4: it changes the whole dynamic how you have to play defense.

582
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 4: I mean literally, I mean he's as big a game

583
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 4: changer as a kicker as Aaron Donald is as a

584
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: defensive lineman.

585
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: The sun is shining after the first win of the year.

586
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: There's only one undefeated team left in the AFC. That's Miami.

587
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: The Bengals are a game behind the first place team

588
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: in their division. It's amazing what one victory does for

589
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: the collective mindset of the team.

590
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: It really is. I mean, we talked about it before

591
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 4: the game. If the Bengals had gone oh to three

592
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: since the Super Bowl era, I think it's two hundred

593
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: and fifty three times or whatever it is. Teams had

594
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: started oh to three and only six had gone to

595
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 4: the playoffs. Now with the one and two records, the

596
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 4: playoff format changed in twenty twenty. Almost one out of

597
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 4: every three is going to the playoffs with a one

598
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: and two record over thirty percent. So this one was

599
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: important and they got it up.

600
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: Next to road game against the one and two Tennessee Titans,

601
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: who lost to Cleveland on Sunday twenty seven to three.

602
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: The Titans had a total of ninety four offensive yards

603
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: in that game. They had more punts seven than first

604
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: downs six. The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you

Speaker 2: Now time for this week's fun fact segment, where you

609
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: get to know the person under the pads. Time for

610
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: some fun facts with running back Chase Brown. You are

611
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: from Canada, London, Ontario, specifically roughly the same distance from Toronto,

612
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 2: Detroit and Buffalo. Is there anything unique to Canada that

613
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: you miss when you're in the US.

614
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 9: The food you know you have moms cooking, but also

615
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 9: like Canadian signatures like poutine. You know, there's a couple

616
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 9: other things that come to mind, like an elephant here.

617
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 9: It's just like this sweet, sugary kind of deep fried thing.

618
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 9: But just a little stuff like that.

619
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: You have a twin brother, Sydney, and you are mirror twins.

620
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: I am familiar with identical twins. Is there a difference?

621
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 9: So we're identical visually, but we're mirrored in different ways.

622
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 5: Like he writes with his he's.

623
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 9: Right hand dominant. I'm left hand dominant. You know my

624
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 9: mom of going in the detail of our hair curling

625
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 9: opposite ways, and just just kind of think of it

626
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 9: along the lines of that we do things opposite fascinating.

627
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: It's a term I had never heard. Says Sydney is

628
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: a great athlete. He's playing for the philadel Via Eagles.

629
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: How much did the two of you push each other

630
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: growing up.

631
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 9: Every single day, whether there's a practice even in the

632
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 9: classroom sometimes, but just having somebody that has the same goal,

633
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 9: same mindset, in the same standard, it's hard not to

634
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 9: live up to your fullest being pushed your fullest on

635
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 9: a daily basis. So having him was definitely the reason

636
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 9: why I'm sitting here today.

637
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: We're doing fun facts with Chase Brown. London, Ontario is

638
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: a hockey town, but you too obviously gravitated toward football.

639
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: What's you football like in London, Ontario?

640
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 9: It's growing. When we were playing, it wasn't the biggest thing.

641
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 9: It was kind of like a secondary sport for most

642
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 9: kids during the fall, but you know, starting to turn

643
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 9: more into a primary sport where kids are motivated to

644
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 9: play professionally and take the sport as far as I can.

645
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: CFL rules or American Football.

646
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 9: Rules, American football rules when you're young, as soon as

647
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 9: you're at the high school, that's where those CFL rules

648
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 9: start kicking in.

649
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: Your life. Story could be a movie and maybe it

650
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: will be someday. There were periods of poverty, there was illness,

651
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: there was drug addiction in the family. Did it feel

652
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: hopeless at any point?

653
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 5: You don't know.

654
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 9: Always been highly motivated no matter the situation, and just

655
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 9: having my brother, you know, building that connection with each other,

656
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 9: just knowing right from wrong and you know, stearing each

657
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 9: other in the right direction. Not once did it feel hopeless.

658
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 9: Was I worry about my family? Of course, like that's

659
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 9: I think that's a normal emotion. But uh, you know,

660
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 9: I think to get to where we ended up, it

661
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 9: had a lot to do with our mindset and just

662
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 9: ignoring the outside noise and the situation I was there

663
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 9: in front of us and just seeing it through every

664
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 9: single time.

665
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: What was the low point?

666
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 9: I would probably say when my mom got sick, that

667
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 9: was probably the lowest point. We were still in Canada,

668
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 9: rough situation going on at home, but at the end

669
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 9: of the day, we always had football and I was

670
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 9: a way to get away from that and keep ourselves focused.

671
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: So at the age of sixteen, your mom drove you

672
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: and your brother to Florida. Yeah, you started playing football

673
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: at a prep school, started attending that prep school. How

674
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: did it change your life?

675
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 9: Oh, my gosh, it's just in so many, so many

676
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 9: different ways. First of all academically. Second of all, you know,

677
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 9: we started building it like a routine that is honestly

678
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 9: that we keep doing to this day. You know, just

679
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 9: staying on top of everything, prioritizing your work, being organized,

680
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 9: just just little things that we didn't have before going

681
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 9: down there, and just thinking about how those just those

682
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 9: little skills developed into big time skills in our life.

683
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 5: Especially with the careers that we're in right now.

684
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: You lived in the host family. Describe that experience.

685
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 5: Weird at first. I mean, you barely know them.

686
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 9: You're trying to grasp a fuel fill them on a

687
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 9: daily basis, and then you just start clicking, and you know,

688
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 9: it feels like you're at home. You start getting less

689
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 9: and less homesick, and you know, we we became really

690
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 9: close with the Yates family, and we still talked to

691
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 9: them on daily basis to this day. They follow both

692
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 9: of us closely, and you know, love them to death.

693
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 9: But great people. I just I just can't even imagine

694
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 9: from there there and you know, just inviting two sixteen

695
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 9: year old boys to come live with them to you know,

696
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 9: study and.

697
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 5: Play football high school boys. So I just I just

698
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 5: can't imagine what they were thinking we're doing.

699
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: Friend facts from Chase Brown. Your prep school team didn't

700
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: lose a game in two years, and you and her

701
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: brother got Division one scholarship offers and eventually wound up

702
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: together at Illinois. But you started out at Western Michigan

703
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: with the dream of becoming a pilot. Correct.

704
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 5: That was it.

705
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 9: I want to be a pilot. And that's honestly almost

706
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 9: all I cared about the moment. I was so focused

707
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 9: on getting the best of both worlds, and that was

708
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 9: the flight school number one, and then playing Division on

709
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 9: football number two, and that kind of swapped once I

710
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 9: got there.

711
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: You just realized why.

712
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 9: I realized quickly that the flight thing wasn't really gonna happen,

713
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 9: and then football was my main priority. And then in

714
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 9: the back of my head, you know, why why do

715
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 9: that without my brother?

716
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 5: Right?

717
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 9: And you know, I eventually put my name in the

718
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 9: portal end up Illinois and the kind of the rest

719
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 9: is history. We got back in the routine of pushing

720
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 9: each other every single day, and it just transfer the

721
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 9: football field.

722
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: You had a tremendous career with a fighting a Lina.

723
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: You were fourth in the nation in rushing yards last year.

724
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: What was the highlight of your college experience?

725
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 5: Winning?

726
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 9: I mean, we we put together a good season that

727
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 9: that the city, the school, the community extremely excited for

728
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 9: kind of like what we have going on here.

729
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 5: Just you know, you you once you start winning games, you.

730
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 9: Know, you you give something the people to care about, right,

731
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 9: And that was that was the biggest highlight, is you know,

732
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 9: just doing my best for that university all four years

733
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 9: I was there and just leaving feeling like, you know,

734
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 9: I left the place better than it was when I

735
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 9: first got there.

736
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: You and your brother were both selected in this year's

737
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: NFL Draft. Sydney went in the third round of Philly.

738
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: He went in the fifth round of Cincinnati. Described the

739
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: draft experience.

740
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 9: Stressful, and then seeing my brother go on day two

741
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 9: and then having to wait and kind of figure out

742
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 9: where I was gonna go. I mean, it's just like

743
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 9: an instant wait off your shoulders and you can start

744
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 9: to visualize where you're gonna be and who you're gonna

745
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 9: be around as far as teammates.

746
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 5: And I was extremely excited as.

747
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 9: Soon as I got my name called, and you know,

748
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 9: I got to celebrate that with my brother and you

749
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 9: know the rest of my family. It will be a

750
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 9: moment I remember.

751
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 5: The rest of my life.

752
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: Time for some wild card topics now with Chase Brown.

753
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: Do you have any hidden talents I can juggle?

754
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know if there's a hidden talent

755
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 9: I can cook. Yeah, I'd say juggling and cooking, and

756
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 9: probably my secret talents that go on outside of the facility.

757
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: How many objects can you juggle?

758
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 5: Three?

759
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 9: I'm not like a circus person. But you know, three

760
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 9: is impressive enough to me.

761
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: That's three more than I can juggle. What are you

762
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: terrible at laundry?

763
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 9: Probably I'm kind of just I throw everything in at

764
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 9: once and then reap the results of that.

765
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: So I would say laundry, separate those whites and those colors.

766
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 5: Yup. You need to get better at that.

767
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 2: What is the biggest misconception that Americans have about Canada?

768
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 5: We don't live in igloos.

769
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 9: Number one, the accent isn't as crazy as people make

770
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 9: it sound down here. And number three, everybody's super nice,

771
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 9: but majority of people I us.

772
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: Do you have any tattoos, and if so, what's the

773
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: most meaningful.

774
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 9: I have a few tattoos. The most meaningful probably the

775
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 9: ones on my shoulders. It's my mom's birthday and my

776
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 9: grandma's birthday, just to women that are extremely important to me,

777
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 9: and just having that tattooed on me is something that

778
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 9: I want to do for them.

779
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 2: Final fun fact for Chase Brown. This one's a little

780
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: bit deep. If you could meet anybody in history, living

781
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 2: or deceased, athlete, entertainer, statesmen, whoever it might be, who

782
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: would that person be?

783
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 9: I would probably say, just as far as mindset and

784
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 9: competitive attitude, it's a Kobe Bryant. He's you know, beast

785
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 9: on the court, but his mindset is really what's separating
