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

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.360

<v Speaker 2>computer by subscribing wherever you get your podcasts. It's the

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 2>greatest thing since Why We Love Baseball. That's the name

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>of a book by former Cincinnati sports writer Joe Posnansky.

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 2>That's a countdown of fifty memorable moments in baseball history,

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 2>some famous, some obscure. For example, in nineteen sixty two,

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>as rookie pitcher Gaylord Perry took batting practice, his manager

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Alvin Dark remarked that we'll have a man on the

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>moon before he hits a home run. Seven years later,

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>exactly thirty four minutes after Neil Armstrong became the first

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>man to walk on the moon, Perry hit the first

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>of his six career home runs. The book is filled

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>with great stories like that, and nobody tells them better

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>than Joe Posnansky. So while this is a Bengals podcast,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>I think just about any sports fan would enjoy the

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>book Why We Love Baseball. Now, let's get to football

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and the race me a replays from last night's win.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Sports history is filled with memorable stories of great athletes

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>overcoming injuries and illness to triumph.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>The Michael Jordan flu game, Kurt Schilling.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>In his bloody sock, and Tiger Woods winning a US

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Open on a broken leg. Tonight, Joe Burrow will gut

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>it out and try to lead the Bengals to a

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>badly needed victory despite a nagging calf injury. It's a

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>rematch of Super Bowl fifty six the Bengals and Rams

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 2>on Monday Night Football, and it is time for the

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>pigskin to fly in the jungle. Stafford sends Nikua in motion,

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 2>fakes a handoff, looks to throw under pressure and sacked

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 2>by DJ Rider back at the thirteen yard line to

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>snap the placement and the right footed kick. It is

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>right down the middle and the Rams are on the scoreboard.

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>But they get three seven and take a three to nothing.

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Leave Money Matt two for four and his field goal

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>attempts this season. He missed from fifty six in the

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>first quarter. This will be a forty nine yard try

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 2>from the left. Hash Adam might as well snap, Robbins

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>will hold. Here comes, the kick gets on its way

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and it is good and the Bengals tie it on

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 2>a forty nine yard field goal by Evan Macpherson. The

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Rams at their own thirty Stafford back to throw, has

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>to scramble sidearm.

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Throw pick picked off, intercept it at the forty one

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 3>by Logan Wilson, and the Bengals will start in Rams

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>territory with three point thirty eight left in the half.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 4>A big assist to Trey Henderson. His pressure caused that interception.

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Here comes the fifty three yard kick.

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 2>It looks like the tray down the middle, and it

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>is good to tie the score. At halftime, the Rams

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 2>will go empty. Three received right to left, Stafford ready

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>at well, goes in jet motion.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Stafford to throw.

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Patrickson has him and Saxon at the twenty five. That's

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the matchup right now, Trey Hendrickson against the backup left

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>tackle Zach Thomas. Sixty one yards on the drive so far.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals started at their own twenty five. They're down

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>to the fourteen of LA, trailing by three. Burrow gives

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>to Mixing, Joe.

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Finds him up the middle. He runs into the end zone.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Touchdown Bengals, and now he does a jungle jump into

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 3>the crowd, sitting with the fans after scoring a go

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 3>ahead touchdown with five point thirty four left in the

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 3>third quarter.

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 4>It's the first lead of the season for the Cincinnati Bengals.

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 4>They finally are playing with a.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>League quick snap. Stafford to throw again over the middle,

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>deflected and picked off at the twenty two.

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 3>It was deflected Wilson and picked.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Off by Logan Wilson.

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Hilton deflected it gets up begins celebrating with his teammates.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals get their second pick, both by Logan Wilson,

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 2>and have it at the twenty one yard line. First

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>and ten Bengals at their own twenty five. They lead

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>by four four to forty eight left in the third quarter.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Now they line up in a pistol formation. They fake

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>a toss to the left. Burrow throws downfield. Chase catches

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>at the fifty, looks for a cutback and gets tackled

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 2>inside the thirty five. He's brought down at the thirty

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>two by Jordan Fuller forty three yards to Newmero.

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Uno the gadget.

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 4>The gimmick called at a perfect time man. That was beautiful.

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Stafford back to pass again.

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Here comes the rushho nailed by Hendrickson, who is abusing

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Zack Thomas.

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey sack Stafford at the twelve yard line.

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>This will be a fifty four yard field goal attempt

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>for Evan McPherson. He's made three field goals so far tonight,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>one from fifty plus. Here comes the right footed kick.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 2>He has the distance.

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>It is good money. Mac delivers.

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>He's hit from forty eight, forty nine, fifty three and

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>fifty four and the Bengals have a ten point lead

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>nineteen to nine. With seven thirteen to go, Miles Murphy

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>checks in for fresh legs. Stafford back to pass under pressure,

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 2>sacked Sam Hubbard's got him at the forty yard line

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 2>for a seven yard sack. The Rams looking for a

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>touchdown to pull within three. At Well goes in motion

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>out to the left. Stafford looking his way, he throws

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 2>nobody near two two at Well he makes the catch

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>for a Rams touchdown. With sixty three seconds left in regulation,

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>one oh three to go. Maher ready for the on

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>side kick, the Bengals up three. He dribbles it forward,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals recoverent Mitchell Willcox grabbing the ball at the

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>forty six and that is coffin nails.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Bam bam bam you, sir, Mitchell will Cox. Big play

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>right there.

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Burrow takes the snap, he takes a knee. The Rams

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>cannot stop the clock and the final thirty three seconds

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>will tick down as the Bengals get a desperately needed

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:30.239
<v Speaker 2>win and beat the Rams nineteen to sixteen. So let's

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>get to Joe Burrow. He said after the game that

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>his calf started to improve on Friday, and by Sunday

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>he knew he would be able to play, But Jamar

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Chase says he didn't know his quarterback would play until

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the pregame warm ups.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want him to play for I told him

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that again after the game.

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 5>I was like, you got nuts, boil.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want you to play NALS.

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, let's just show us that. You know,

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe's part headed, but you know he's a football player, man,

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and you can't knock him from being tough like that.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 5>And they don't make too.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Many quarterbacks toff like that. He said, Oh yeah, man,

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 2>if you gonna come to practice like that.

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>You want to you gonna have that type of work ethicity, you.

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 5>Know what I'm saying.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 2>And it takes a lot to be a quarterback and

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 2>still play injured.

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying.

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna rust every play.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>You got a drop every play, So you know he

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of balls to be all definitely. Burrow

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>finished twenty six for forty nine for two hundred and

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine yards, with no touchdowns, one pick, and a

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>passer rating of fifty nine point eight. Those numbers would

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>have been better if not for some uncharacteristic drops by

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>t Higgins. Most importantly, Burrow said after the game that

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>there were no setbacks and his calf feels much better

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 2>than it did. After the Baltimore game, Dave Lapham talked

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 2>to Burrow in the locker room.

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 4>I gotta congratulate you as much as anything. I'm telling you,

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 4>his former offensive lineman. You inspired me, man, I mean

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 4>that was an inspirational performance. Toughness, physical, mental, How do

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 4>you do it?

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 6>Well?

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 7>We got through it. We got through it. That's the

0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 7>game you find through injuries. That's part of it. We

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 7>gotta get better. I wasn't good enough tonight, but it

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 7>was good enough to win, good enough to win.

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 4>And I'll tell you, man, I mean the leadership that

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 4>you showed tonight. I mean you lifted your football team

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 4>by just going out there and doing what you did.

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm not sure that you have a full

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 4>I guess you probably do have a full grasp of

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 4>what you mean to this football team. Was that part

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 4>of your thought process whether you we're gonna play or not?

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well we needed this one.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 7>We needed this one. You can't go in three and

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 7>expect to reach the goals that you want to reach.

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 7>I know it's a long season, but you start out

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 7>owing three, it's gonna it's going to sell you back.

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 7>So we needed this one bad. So I wanted to

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 7>be out there for my guys.

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you a stat to back up your comment

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 4>on that two hundred and fifty one game. Since the

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 4>Super Bowl era two hundred and fifty one teams have

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.719
<v Speaker 4>started owing three, six have made the playoffs.

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's big.

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 4>This is big now since twenty twenty when they redid

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 4>the playoff format, one in two teams thirty almost one

0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 4>out of every three make the playoffs.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 5>This was huge.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't Yeah, we needed it.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 7>We needed a bad defense stepped up big time. They

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 7>played really well all night. Oline played really well all

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 7>night as well. We got a lot to improve on,

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 7>but it's a good start.

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 4>And finally, was there any point in the game where

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 4>man suck a jazzed a little bit on me? I mean,

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.600
<v Speaker 4>or did you did you have to fight through anything

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 4>like that or how did it go for it?

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 7>No, we got through it. We got through it. So

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 7>I I'm feeling good. It's gonna feel better this week.

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 7>It's just gonna take time. So we'll take it day

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 7>by day, and.

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 4>I guess I lied one fund. When you get hit

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 4>like you did, I was like, man, I was holding

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 4>my brother. I might come on, Joe, get up, man.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean that Did you feel anything on that or

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 4>was that just at another day at the office.

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 7>Another day at the office.

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>That's that's football.

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 7>You're gonna get hit. Defense alignement are too good. They're

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.880

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals still have not scored an offensive touchdown in

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the first half this year, but on their first possession

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>of the second half, they put together a ten plays,

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 2>seventy five yard drive that ended with Joe Mixon's fourteen

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>yard touchdown run. It gave them a lead they never relinquished.

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Joe finished with nineteen carries for sixty five yards to

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>help the Bengals avoid zero to three. Joe, how badly

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>did you need this tonight?

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 4>You needed a.

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 8>Bet, you know, as a unit, as a whole team.

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 8>It was ugly first half, but you know we got

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 8>it together, came out with the dough. It was the

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:43.679
<v Speaker 8>most important.

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.839
<v Speaker 1>So it's a.

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.680
<v Speaker 8>Great thing, a great villain and half described the touchdown run. Yeah, man,

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 8>so pretty much got a double team up to the

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 8>linebacker and it blocked they will, I hit it backside

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 8>cut back and just you know, ran a safety and

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 8>ran into the touchdown.

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 5>What was it mean?

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Everybody in the room that Joe Burrow goutted it out

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and played.

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 8>I mean, it was a great thing man, to you know,

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 8>show his grit and you know, his will and want

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 8>two to pull up with us and to play this

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 8>here Monday night and come through and deliver.

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 5>So it was a great thing for us.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Six sacks to take aways for the defense against a

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 2>really good offense. What'd you think?

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Man? They played their ass off. They played great football.

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 8>All of them guys was hyped up. They was playing

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 8>with energy and it was all will and want two

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.679
<v Speaker 8>and I'm just you know, happy to them guys. Was

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 8>getting to the quarterback and they always looking damn good,

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 8>so you know, I'm just happy for them.

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>It's really hard to come back from zero to three

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>to make the playoffs.

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 1>So to get this one, how important is it to

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the group.

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 5>It was very important.

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 8>We've been in this position before and we didn't got

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 8>out of it and obviously got on top and real close.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 5>To the finish line.

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 8>So I think we'll get back as long as, you know,

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 8>we just keep handling it, handling it one week at

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 8>a time, one day at a time, just keep going

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 8>and keep studying, doing all the little things, and I

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 8>feel like we'll be in a great position.

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it elation or relief to get the win tonight?

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 5>It was more so.

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.520
<v Speaker 8>We firmly got that first one out of the way,

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 8>and uh, it's a big si relief and now it's

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 8>time to you know, get ready for Tennessee.

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps the biggest key to the win with Cincinnati's pass rush,

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals had six sacks and ten quarterback hits. Trey

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Hendricks said had two of the sacks and two more

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 2>that were negated by penalties. The Bengals also had a

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 2>pair of takeaways on interceptions by linebacker Logan Wilson bog proud.

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you of the entire group tonight?

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 10>Yeah?

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.599
<v Speaker 6>When we stayed together the entire game and found a

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 6>way to win. Sometimes it's not always pretty to get

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 6>wins in this league, and that's a good team. Got

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 6>a lot of respect for him and at the end

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 6>of the day, we're fund about to get to win.

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 5>That's the most fun thing.

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to your interceptions, I promise, But the pass

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>rush sacks a couple that were negated by penalties for

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>pressure rush relentless.

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely.

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean even there are all my interceptions, there was

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 6>a tim ball that night, so I was when that

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 6>most pressure.

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 5>So we were getting after all night. I'm not letting

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 5>him get comftable, because.

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 6>If you let a quarterback like that get comfortable, he's

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:14.959
<v Speaker 6>actually going to pick your apartment.

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's talk about the interceptions now, you described one.

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>You've had a knack for this throughout your NFL career.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that's nine picks now, yeah.

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean you got to take the ones that

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 6>they come to you. And I had two opportunities to

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 6>make play on the ball and I just ended up

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 6>making workplace.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 2>What it means that Joe answered the Bell and played

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>this game.

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's a tough, gutsy performance from our franchise quarterback.

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 6>You know, he doesn't need to be coming out you're

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 6>going to do that, but he had the sands, the

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 6>important on at the end. That's so, this is the

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 6>type of guy you want leading this team, lead this organization.

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 5>That's why I'm paying the big bucks.

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm always hesitant to use the term must win. It's

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 2>so early in the season, a lot of things can happen,

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>but it's obviously a critically important win.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, you always want to get back in the win

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 6>columb You don't want to go in three you start.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 5>The season because then your chances obviously.

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 6>Of getting to the playoffs or pretty slim. We understood that,

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 6>and we kind of view this as a game we

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 6>needed to win anyway in front of our homecount and

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 6>they they'd certainly helped the sign.

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 2>The Rams offense was off to a great start this season.

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 2>To shut them down to that extent, it was a

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.239
<v Speaker 2>pretty remarkable performance.

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Absolutely.

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we had a good game plan all week,

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 6>best we can practice going in and we were able

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 6>to execute.

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Grants on the way. Thank you.

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 2>We had to win the Bengals are one and two

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and a game behind the other three teams in the

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 2>AFC North Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Cleveland are all two and one.

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>The Ravens and Browns face each other this week in Cleveland.

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>The Steelers have a road game at Houston. Now let's

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent a few

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 2>minutes with Lap after the game.

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Win number one. It's always hardest to get the first one,

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 4>and you got it.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you're speaking the truth. You know.

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 10>It was like pulling teeth to get this first win.

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 10>But now that we got that off our back, you're

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 10>gonna see this team free up. And by the way,

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 10>we know how to play.

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 4>You got that lead and then you built on the lead.

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's took a while to get that first

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 4>lead of the season. How different is it calling plays

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 4>when you're calling plays with the lead.

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's nine to day different, you know. And it

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 10>allows the defense to play a lot free er too.

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 10>There's not so much pressure on them to give up

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 10>points and the other team expand on the lead. So

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 10>I thought in the second half, we had great team

0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 10>effort in all three phases and allowed us to get away.

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>With this one.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 4>What can you say about Joe Burrow? I mean he

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 4>was inspirational as a former player. I'm like, boy, this dude,

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 4>I'd follow him anywhere. If he told me to put

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 4>on a gasoline suit and walk through Hell, I'd do it.

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, we can't take it for granted. You know, a

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 10>guy playing through an injury like that at the position

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 10>he is, there's so much mental that goes on and

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 10>he's got to deal with the physical as well, and

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 10>so probably that he's our quarterback.

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 4>What about Jamar Chase twelve receptions for one hundred and

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 4>forty one yards, one short of the team record, a

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 4>career high for him obviously. How big was Jamar today?

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's tough because they were trying to cloud him

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 10>and move around with them the whole game, and so

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 10>we were just finding different ways to get him the

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 10>ball and he made it paid off for us big

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 10>time whenever he was going to get his hands in

0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 10>the ball.

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Did the la Rams defensively do anything that you didn't anticipate?

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 4>Made quick adjustments if they did.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, they play a lot of two say if you looks,

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 10>try to keep things in front, minimize the explosives. Let

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 10>Aaron Donald go to work. And I thought our offensive

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 10>line did an outstanding job controlling their front and allowing

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 10>Joe to have the time to throw the ball.

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 4>I thought both defenses were tough to work against. Aaron Donald,

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 4>obviously inside is a dominant figure. Trey Hendrickson on the edge,

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 4>he had four sacks, only two of them counted. Unfortunately

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 4>there were a couple that were deleted by penalty. But

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.439
<v Speaker 4>he was given Thomas a real world of problems on

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 4>that edge.

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 5>He sure was. And Trey had a great game.

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.640
<v Speaker 10>And usually when he's having a great game and these

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 10>the other guys are doing their job and eating the

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 10>box as well, and he's finished it off. So really

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 10>proud of our defense as a whole today.

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.880
<v Speaker 4>The defense third down, they were zero for ten. They

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.640
<v Speaker 4>go one for eleven because they get a third down

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 4>on the touchdown, So they were zero for three in

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 4>the red zone and they get the third down, they're

0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 4>only third down conversion, they're only touchdown on that same play.

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 4>But that is a dominant performance.

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 5>It sure is.

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 10>You know, when a team can't extend the drives to

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 10>where they are and they got to be so efficient

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 10>on first second down, makes it really difficult, and so

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 10>again our defense did a great job. Lou did a

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 10>great job mix up the calls, put them in really

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 10>good positions. That was great to see.

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.919
<v Speaker 4>You had some difficulty on third down because you were

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 4>facing so many third and ten or more. It was crazy.

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.439
<v Speaker 4>I mean in the first half all seven of you

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 4>third down conversions that weren't converted were ten yards or more,

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.919
<v Speaker 4>and there were some false starts and penalties that created

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 4>problems for you. There's always things to clean up. That

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:29.600
<v Speaker 4>seems to be a big one.

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, first half we just didn't play good enough. Whether

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 10>it was penalties, whether it was bad play calls to

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 10>get us out of rhythm, whether it was drops. We

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 10>just weren't weren't all on the same page. I thought

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 10>we'd really cleaned it up and did a much better

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 10>job than second eighty.

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 4>Joe Mixing all year long, has finished every run. I

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 4>mean I can't think of a run where he was

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 4>he's been knocked backwards. I mean, he seems to be

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 4>running behind his pads and finishing everything.

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think Joe's giving us exactly what we need

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 10>from him and the run in the pass game. So

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 10>that's been really good to see.

0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Coach, Now, have you had a long week and now

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 4>you have the Monday night game? Have a short week.

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you've got this, this whole thing planned out,

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 4>but how difficult is a short week of preparation in

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 4>the National Football League.

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 10>It's challenging for the coaches. You've got to put together plan.

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 10>But they've already been working on that. So we'll get

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 10>the players extra day off of the legs here, do

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.320
<v Speaker 10>a walk through on Wednesday, and get back to full

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 10>speed on Thursday.

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate your time. Congratulations on the big win. Here we go. Now,

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 4>you guys are known for springing a few together, coach,

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 4>so we're expected it.

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>That's what we're going on the other man.

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:29.040

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 2>recap lap Last Monday night, the Steelers beat the Browns

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 2>because of Pittsburgh's defense, they scored a couple of touchdowns.

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.239
<v Speaker 2>The offense really didn't do much. They didn't have to

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals offense was better tonight then the Steelers offense

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>was last week. But the defense won this game.

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.439
<v Speaker 4>There's no doubt. I mean when you look at some

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 4>of the critical stats. I mean, they were zero for

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 4>ten on their first ten third downs. They converted one

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.359
<v Speaker 4>and it happened to be the touchdown at the end

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 4>of the football game. So they get a third down conversion.

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 4>They get their only red zone touchdown on the same play.

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 4>So three possessions before that, three field goals, one for

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.440
<v Speaker 4>four in the red zone, one for eleven on third down?

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 4>Are you kidding me? Against the team that came into

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 4>the league. It came into the game second in the league,

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:45.360
<v Speaker 4>and third down percentage, I mean, it's crazy. The Bengals

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 4>defense definitely stepped up and said, we've got a quarterback

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:53.159
<v Speaker 4>that's sucking it up. He's inspirational, we're inspired. We're going

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 4>to play inspired, and they did.

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 2>The forty nine Ers have a great defense. The Rams

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 2>went up and down the field against San Francisco last week.

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Now San fran ultimately won the game by seven, but

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't because the forty nine Ers defense dominated. It

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 2>was because the offense was great, whereas the Bengals were

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>able to do a much better job against that Rams

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>offense than even the great forty nine Ers defense did.

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, they controlled the ground game that wasn't an issue.

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 4>And then they teed off on Stafford, I mean teed

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 4>off on him, and lu An Arumo was at his

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 4>doctor defense best. I mean he had seven guys at

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 4>times in the box and Staffords seeing ghost, who's coming,

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 4>who's not, you know, simulated pressures and it was it

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 4>was remarkable. And then you had Trey Henderson just dominating Thomas.

0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Thomas is gonna have nightmares TONI when he closes his eyes,

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 4>he's going to see ninety one blown by him up

0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 4>the football field, tom So. And then you know, others

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:53.840
<v Speaker 4>did their job as well. I mean, Trey was a

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 4>huge factor. He was the initial pressure guy, and other

0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 4>guys were in the lanes they were supposed to be in.

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Sam Hard got his sack and other guys, you know,

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:07.000
<v Speaker 4>get pressures as well. But Matthew Stafford was not comfortable.

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 4>They made him get off his spot and he was

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 4>very inaccurate, and he came into the league, into the game,

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.680
<v Speaker 4>I should say, top five in the league in attempts completions,

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 4>and yards, and tonight wasn't like that.

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 2>At six ZHO two tonight, Joe Burrow walked out of

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 2>the tunnel onto the field a little more than two

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 2>hours before kickoff. He sat down on the bench. Jamar

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Chase sat down next to him. Jamar said he didn't

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 2>know at that point whether Joe was going to play

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 2>or not, and Jamar told him not to. He continues

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to insist that he just wants Joe to take however

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.840
<v Speaker 2>much time is needed to fully recover. Well, Joe Burrow

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 2>was going to do that. If he could walk tonight

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 2>without excruciating pain, he was going to play. And I think,

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 2>with the possible exception of Jamar Chase, everybody else in

0:22:56.160 --> 0:23:02.199
<v Speaker 2>that locker room really was wowed by the fact that

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>he would gut it out and do whatever was necessary

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>to win this game.

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 5>I agree with you.

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 4>I think his offensive line was inspired, the defense was inspired,

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.560
<v Speaker 4>and Jamar had twelve catchers one hundred and forty one yards,

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.640
<v Speaker 4>So he ended up the beneficiary of some pretty good stuff.

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 4>He came with an impersonal high, obviously, and came within

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.439
<v Speaker 4>one of tying the franchise record of thirteen by Carl Pickens.

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 4>So and I did get a chance to talk to

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 4>Joe after the game, and he said, none worse for

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 4>the wear, but still have work to do. I mean physically.

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 4>You know, he's not done with the rehab or anything. Obviously,

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.359
<v Speaker 4>he's never said he's one hundred percent, so he hasn't

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 4>been one hundred percent. But for him to go out

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.479
<v Speaker 4>there and do what he did. I told him, man,

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:46.600
<v Speaker 4>when you got smashed, I was holding my breath a

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 4>little bit. He goes, you know that happens. It's the

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.920
<v Speaker 4>National Football League. Guys are gonna guys are gonna hit you.

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 4>But he, uh, he is a courageous dude.

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.119
<v Speaker 4>He's one tough ombre physically and mentally.

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 2>If the Bengals and Rams don't meet in the Super Bowl,

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals might never have to see Aaron Donald again,

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>which the offensive line would appreciate.

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 4>That dude is just a game wrecker. There's no other

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 4>way to put it. He is a human bowling ball.

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.720
<v Speaker 4>You know, I thought, Okay, run at him because a

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:24.439
<v Speaker 4>lot of times he's given that first step quickness thing

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 4>and if you kind of run on him, if he

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 4>guesses wrong, you can gash him. But he was knocking

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.680
<v Speaker 4>people backwards I mean, you know, he's six feet tall

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 4>and he's two hundred and eighty pounds. I mean, it's ridiculous.

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:38.160
<v Speaker 4>He is a fire hydrant that has extreme short space quickness.

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.640
<v Speaker 4>He is a genetic rarity. There is no question about that.

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:44.719
<v Speaker 4>And you know we talk all the time in the

0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.919
<v Speaker 4>offensive and defensive line about leverage pad level. He's automatically.

0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 4>You have to come out in your hands and knees

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 4>to get under his pads. And he's so strong and

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:56.120
<v Speaker 4>powerful and explosive. He's got that low pad level. Then

0:24:56.240 --> 0:25:00.199
<v Speaker 4>all that other stuff to follow that is a that

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 4>is a task, that's a tall order blocking that.

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:02.959
<v Speaker 5>Dude.

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to ask you a question I asked Joe Mixon.

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Is the emotion tonight elation or relief?

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:12.679
<v Speaker 5>That's a damn good question.

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 4>I think it's both, you know, I do think I

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 4>think elation. You know, it's hard to win in the NFL,

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 4>no matter who you're playing. As we saw, there's some

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 4>huge upsets this week. I mean, who expected the Jaguars

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 4>to get handled? Who expected Denver to give up seventy

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:33.719
<v Speaker 4>points and and twenty six yards? I mean, there were

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 4>some crazy things that took place and Denver's defense could

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 4>go out next week and play like a top five defense,

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 4>like I think they really are. So you just never know.

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 4>So you take victories, you never take them for granted.

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:50.919
<v Speaker 4>So there's some relief there, but I think there's elation

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 4>as well.

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 2>One of those upsets yesterday was also the Colts over

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens in Baltimore, and Matt Gay was the hero

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:01.120
<v Speaker 2>with four field goals of fifty three plus. Evan McPherson

0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:04.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't do that, but he didn't miss that by much.

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Forty eight, forty nine, fifty three, fifty four and a

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 2>miss from fifty six. I guess it was. I mean,

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 2>we take his greatness for granted. A forty eight yard

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>field goal for him seems like a twenty two yard

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 2>field goal for most kickers.

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 4>It is incredible. I mean, the fifty six yarder had plenty.

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 4>He just you know, overcooked it a little bit, just

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 4>pulled it slightly and it hooked. It hooked wide left.

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 4>But man, this guy, when he when he strikes the ball,

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 4>it's like his his leg speed is incredible and I

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:40.879
<v Speaker 4>don't know how he doesn't dislocate his leg from his

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 4>hip when he swings, swings as hard as he swings

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 4>all the time, but he is he is a unique

0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 4>and special talent. And you know what a weapon when

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:55.199
<v Speaker 4>you have somebody like that that you know, you know,

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 4>just like Baltimore experiences, when you have great kickers and

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 4>you know it's going to come down to a potential

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.399
<v Speaker 4>game winner, and all you have to do is, you know,

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 4>get the ball to the forty yard line, maybe even

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 4>the forty five. You might still have a shot. I

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 4>mean that that is ridiculous that that gives you. And defensively,

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 4>it changes the whole dynamic how you have to play defense.

0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean literally, I mean he's as big a game

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.159
<v Speaker 4>changer as a kicker as Aaron Donald is as a

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 4>defensive lineman.

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>The sun is shining after the first win of the year.

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 2>There's only one undefeated team left in the AFC. That's Miami.

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals are a game behind the first place team

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:38.960
<v Speaker 2>in their division. It's amazing what one victory does for

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 2>the collective mindset of the team.

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 4>It really is. I mean, we talked about it before

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 4>the game. If the Bengals had gone oh to three

0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 4>since the Super Bowl era, I think it's two hundred

0:27:51.400 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 4>and fifty three times or whatever it is. Teams had

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 4>started oh to three and only six had gone to

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:00.159
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs. Now with the one and two records, the

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.879
<v Speaker 4>playoff format changed in twenty twenty. Almost one out of

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 4>every three is going to the playoffs with a one

0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 4>and two record over thirty percent. So this one was

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 4>important and they got it up.

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Next to road game against the one and two Tennessee Titans,

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.400
<v Speaker 2>who lost to Cleveland on Sunday twenty seven to three.

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:24.680
<v Speaker 2>The Titans had a total of ninety four offensive yards

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 2>in that game. They had more punts seven than first

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 2>downs six. The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Now time for this week's fun fact segment, where you

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 2>get to know the person under the pads. Time for

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 2>some fun facts with running back Chase Brown. You are

0:28:56.080 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>from Canada, London, Ontario, specifically roughly the same distance from Toronto,

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Detroit and Buffalo. Is there anything unique to Canada that

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:08.360
<v Speaker 2>you miss when you're in the US.

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:12.320
<v Speaker 9>The food you know you have moms cooking, but also

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 9>like Canadian signatures like poutine. You know, there's a couple

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 9>other things that come to mind, like an elephant here.

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 9>It's just like this sweet, sugary kind of deep fried thing.

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 9>But just a little stuff like that.

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You have a twin brother, Sydney, and you are mirror twins.

0:29:30.920 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I am familiar with identical twins. Is there a difference?

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 9>So we're identical visually, but we're mirrored in different ways.

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Like he writes with his he's.

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 9>Right hand dominant. I'm left hand dominant. You know my

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 9>mom of going in the detail of our hair curling

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 9>opposite ways, and just just kind of think of it

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 9>along the lines of that we do things opposite fascinating.

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a term I had never heard. Says Sydney is

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 2>a great athlete. He's playing for the philadel Via Eagles.

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 2>How much did the two of you push each other

0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 2>growing up.

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 9>Every single day, whether there's a practice even in the

0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 9>classroom sometimes, but just having somebody that has the same goal,

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 9>same mindset, in the same standard, it's hard not to

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.040
<v Speaker 9>live up to your fullest being pushed your fullest on

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 9>a daily basis. So having him was definitely the reason

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 9>why I'm sitting here today.

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 2>We're doing fun facts with Chase Brown. London, Ontario is

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 2>a hockey town, but you too obviously gravitated toward football.

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 2>What's you football like in London, Ontario?

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 9>It's growing. When we were playing, it wasn't the biggest thing.

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 9>It was kind of like a secondary sport for most

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 9>kids during the fall, but you know, starting to turn

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 9>more into a primary sport where kids are motivated to

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 9>play professionally and take the sport as far as I can.

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 2>CFL rules or American Football.

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 9>Rules, American football rules when you're young, as soon as

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 9>you're at the high school, that's where those CFL rules

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 9>start kicking in.

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Your life. Story could be a movie and maybe it

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 2>will be someday. There were periods of poverty, there was illness,

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 2>there was drug addiction in the family. Did it feel

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>hopeless at any point?

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:12.240
<v Speaker 5>You don't know.

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 9>Always been highly motivated no matter the situation, and just

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 9>having my brother, you know, building that connection with each other,

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:25.360
<v Speaker 9>just knowing right from wrong and you know, stearing each

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 9>other in the right direction. Not once did it feel hopeless.

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 9>Was I worry about my family? Of course, like that's

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 9>I think that's a normal emotion. But uh, you know,

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 9>I think to get to where we ended up, it

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 9>had a lot to do with our mindset and just

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 9>ignoring the outside noise and the situation I was there

0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 9>in front of us and just seeing it through every

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 9>single time.

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 2>What was the low point?

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 9>I would probably say when my mom got sick, that

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 9>was probably the lowest point. We were still in Canada,

0:31:59.360 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 9>rough situation going on at home, but at the end

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 9>of the day, we always had football and I was

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 9>a way to get away from that and keep ourselves focused.

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 2>So at the age of sixteen, your mom drove you

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and your brother to Florida. Yeah, you started playing football

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 2>at a prep school, started attending that prep school. How

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 2>did it change your life?

0:32:18.000 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 9>Oh, my gosh, it's just in so many, so many

0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 9>different ways. First of all academically. Second of all, you know,

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.680
<v Speaker 9>we started building it like a routine that is honestly

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 9>that we keep doing to this day. You know, just

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 9>staying on top of everything, prioritizing your work, being organized,

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.680
<v Speaker 9>just just little things that we didn't have before going

0:32:39.720 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 9>down there, and just thinking about how those just those

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 9>little skills developed into big time skills in our life.

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 5>Especially with the careers that we're in right now.

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 2>You lived in the host family. Describe that experience.

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 5>Weird at first. I mean, you barely know them.

0:32:56.720 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 9>You're trying to grasp a fuel fill them on a

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 9>daily basis, and then you just start clicking, and you know,

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 9>it feels like you're at home. You start getting less

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 9>and less homesick, and you know, we we became really

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:12.080
<v Speaker 9>close with the Yates family, and we still talked to

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 9>them on daily basis to this day. They follow both

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 9>of us closely, and you know, love them to death.

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 9>But great people. I just I just can't even imagine

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 9>from there there and you know, just inviting two sixteen

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 9>year old boys to come live with them to you know,

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 9>study and.

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 5>Play football high school boys. So I just I just

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 5>can't imagine what they were thinking we're doing.

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Friend facts from Chase Brown. Your prep school team didn't

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 2>lose a game in two years, and you and her

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 2>brother got Division one scholarship offers and eventually wound up

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 2>together at Illinois. But you started out at Western Michigan

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 2>with the dream of becoming a pilot. Correct.

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 5>That was it.

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 9>I want to be a pilot. And that's honestly almost

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 9>all I cared about the moment. I was so focused

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 9>on getting the best of both worlds, and that was

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 9>the flight school number one, and then playing Division on

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 9>football number two, and that kind of swapped once I

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:05.719
<v Speaker 9>got there.

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 5>You just realized why.

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 9>I realized quickly that the flight thing wasn't really gonna happen,

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 9>and then football was my main priority. And then in

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 9>the back of my head, you know, why why do

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 9>that without my brother?

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:20.799
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 9>And you know, I eventually put my name in the

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 9>portal end up Illinois and the kind of the rest

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.720
<v Speaker 9>is history. We got back in the routine of pushing

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:30.800
<v Speaker 9>each other every single day, and it just transfer the

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:31.399
<v Speaker 9>football field.

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You had a tremendous career with a fighting a Lina.

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 2>You were fourth in the nation in rushing yards last year.

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 2>What was the highlight of your college experience?

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:40.800
<v Speaker 5>Winning?

0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 9>I mean, we we put together a good season that

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 9>that the city, the school, the community extremely excited for

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 9>kind of like what we have going on here.

0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:58.279
<v Speaker 5>Just you know, you you once you start winning games, you.

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:02.319
<v Speaker 9>Know, you you give something the people to care about, right,

0:35:02.440 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 9>And that was that was the biggest highlight, is you know,

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 9>just doing my best for that university all four years

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 9>I was there and just leaving feeling like, you know,

0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 9>I left the place better than it was when I

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 9>first got there.

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 2>You and your brother were both selected in this year's

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:24.600
<v Speaker 2>NFL Draft. Sydney went in the third round of Philly.

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 2>He went in the fifth round of Cincinnati. Described the

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 2>draft experience.

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:32.439
<v Speaker 9>Stressful, and then seeing my brother go on day two

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 9>and then having to wait and kind of figure out

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.319
<v Speaker 9>where I was gonna go. I mean, it's just like

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 9>an instant wait off your shoulders and you can start

0:35:41.560 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 9>to visualize where you're gonna be and who you're gonna

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 9>be around as far as teammates.

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.239
<v Speaker 5>And I was extremely excited as.

0:35:49.120 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 9>Soon as I got my name called, and you know,

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 9>I got to celebrate that with my brother and you

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 9>know the rest of my family. It will be a

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:55.320
<v Speaker 9>moment I remember.

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:55.879
<v Speaker 5>The rest of my life.

0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Time for some wild card topics now with Chase Brown.

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any hidden talents I can juggle?

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I don't know if there's a hidden talent

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:09.360
<v Speaker 9>I can cook. Yeah, I'd say juggling and cooking, and

0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 9>probably my secret talents that go on outside of the facility.

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:15.440
<v Speaker 2>How many objects can you juggle?

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:15.800
<v Speaker 5>Three?

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 9>I'm not like a circus person. But you know, three

0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 9>is impressive enough to me.

0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 2>That's three more than I can juggle. What are you

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 2>terrible at laundry?

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 9>Probably I'm kind of just I throw everything in at

0:36:30.120 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 9>once and then reap the results of that.

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 2>So I would say laundry, separate those whites and those colors.

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Yup. You need to get better at that.

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:45.760
<v Speaker 2>What is the biggest misconception that Americans have about Canada?

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 5>We don't live in igloos.

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 9>Number one, the accent isn't as crazy as people make

0:36:56.520 --> 0:37:01.040
<v Speaker 9>it sound down here. And number three, everybody's super nice,

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:02.640
<v Speaker 9>but majority of people I us.

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any tattoos, and if so, what's the

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:09.680
<v Speaker 2>most meaningful.

0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 9>I have a few tattoos. The most meaningful probably the

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 9>ones on my shoulders. It's my mom's birthday and my

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:22.400
<v Speaker 9>grandma's birthday, just to women that are extremely important to me,

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:27.319
<v Speaker 9>and just having that tattooed on me is something that

0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 9>I want to do for them.

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Final fun fact for Chase Brown. This one's a little

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 2>bit deep. If you could meet anybody in history, living

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 2>or deceased, athlete, entertainer, statesmen, whoever it might be, who

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:43.319
<v Speaker 2>would that person be?

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 9>I would probably say, just as far as mindset and

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 9>competitive attitude, it's a Kobe Bryant. He's you know, beast

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 9>on the court, but his mindset is really what's separating

0:37:57.560 --> 0:37:58.000
<v Speaker 9>from others.

0:37:58.040 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 2>So do you try to the mama mentality.

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 9>In some whereas Yeah, like definitely focused. I'm pretty serious, dude,

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 9>I guess when it comes to work, so uh yeah, and.

0:38:12.360 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 5>With the work environment for shore, It's.

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Great to have you here in Cincinnati. Best of luck

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:17.839
