So once a week for the next 11 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 1: twenty weeks, the Bengals star quarterback will be joining us 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: at the Volume Sports on the Colin Coward Podcast, Win 13 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,040 Speaker 1: or Lose, And this week he shows up despite a 14 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: tough performance to the rival Steelers. You know, and I 15 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: was thinking about the eleven quarterbacks that did not take 16 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: a snap in the preseason Rent three and eight. Think 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: about that. Some were Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, you know, 18 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: think about this three and eight. So we talk about 19 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: that preseason and we talk about, oh, I don't want 20 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: to get hurt, but you can work out so many things. 21 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Give an example, Russell Wilson in that meltdown with four 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: minutes left in Seattle for Russell Wilson. One of the 23 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: things that's interesting, You can't create a crisis at practice 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: that is anything like playing in Seattle. You're being booed. 25 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: There's nothing that duplicates that. Now, a preseason game isn't 26 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: that either, but it's a real game and Situationally, the Seahawks, 27 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: with a first year head coach and a new coordinator 28 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: and a new quarterback on the road, look flustered. And 29 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: why didn't Russell Wilson gonna be a Pro Football Hall 30 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback? Time out? Time out? Timeout, Let's get 31 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: organized here. So Richard Sherman, also new to the Volume podcast, 32 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: says that Russell Wilson doesn't have that power in Denver yet. 33 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning had it in his career, Patrick Mahomes has 34 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: it now, Tom Brady's had it in his career. That 35 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson at this point may not have that power 36 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: to just say time out, I'm taken over. And it's 37 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: almost as Russell Wilson was too respectful, nice guy, first 38 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: year head coach, rookie head coach. You know, it reminds 39 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: me Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called Outliers, and he 40 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: talked about Korean airlines. So they had a spate of 41 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: crashes in the eighties and nineties Korean airlines. And whenever 42 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: you have an airline crash, it's generally not one catastrophic event. 43 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: It is a series of mistakes. On average seven mistakes 44 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: or errors for every plane crash, and they're very few. 45 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: But in the eighties and nineties Korean air was having 46 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: a problem, and at the root of the problem was 47 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: because of the culture that the first officer was overly 48 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: respectful to the captain. That's the theory that Malcolm Gladwell presents, 49 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: and that if the plane was running low on fuel, 50 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: the first officer wouldn't raise his voice if he talked 51 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,559 Speaker 1: to the tower, he would never call it an emergency. 52 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: He was overly respectful to the captain, the hierarchy, and 53 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: obviously that's much more serious than a quarterback in a 54 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: time out. But it does show you sometimes that being 55 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: overly respectful there are drawbacks to it, and at sometimes 56 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: being blunt and taking over is really really important in 57 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: critical situations. And Russell Wilson, a lot more experienced, is 58 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: a much better quarterback than Nathaniel Hackett is a coach, 59 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: why doesn't he just go time out? This is my stadium. 60 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: I played here for a decade. I'm calling time out. 61 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm taken over. But instead Russell turned, as Richard Sherman said, 62 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: and respectfully looks to the rookie coach. Hey, I'm part 63 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: of the team. Not really, you're the catalyst for the team. 64 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: Remember Tom Brady barking at coaches, barking at his offensive 65 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: lineman right that Bears Thursday night game. His first year 66 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: with the Bucks. He wasn't deferential to anybody. It didn't 67 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: care if he was a new guy into town. He 68 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: told a team, We're going to do practices at Jesuit 69 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: High School in Tampa. I don't care if they're illegal. 70 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: Get over here, right, yelling at offensive lineman. I don't 71 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: care if you've been here before me. I don't even 72 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: care if you're a pro bowler. I'm the quarterback of 73 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: the football team. I'm seventy percent of the offense. So 74 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: I think sometimes you know everybody. Generationally it's said be 75 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: thoughtful and be nice, and be deferential to bosses. Sometimes 76 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: got to take it into your own hands. And I 77 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: think Russell Wilson was too deferential to Nathaniel Hackett. Seventy 78 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: five percent of coordinators flail bomb as head coaches. That's 79 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's team. That is Russell Wilson's team today and 80 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: until he leaves. My other thought about quarterback play is 81 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: that there's this understanding now that star quarterbacks don't need 82 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: to play in the preseason. Well, Russell Wilson lost with 83 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: a new coach, Aaron Rodgers lost, didn't take a snap 84 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: in the preseason with new receivers. Eleven quarterbacks didn't take 85 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: a snap in the preseason. Eight lost, and great quarterbacks 86 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow. Now he had nappendeck 87 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: to me. But three great quarterbacks lost their openers, and 88 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: in Denver's case, some situational clunkiness. In Burrow's case, the 89 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: timing was off. In Aaron Rodgers case, rookie wide receivers disconnected, 90 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: not working. So I think things tend to go in cycles, 91 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: and the pendulum swings back and forth. I think you'll 92 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: start watching more and more veteran quarterbacks saying you gotta 93 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: give me a couple. Serious, You've got to give me 94 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,679 Speaker 1: a few snaps. But I think when you go through 95 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: collective bargaining and there's fewer padded practices than Sean McVay 96 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: comes in, doesn't play anybody in the preseason, we overreact 97 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: to it. Everybody follows suit and you watched how bad 98 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks no lines were in Week one, 99 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: and think about this too, is that now, if you're 100 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: not going to play starters, starting quarterbacks, no lines in 101 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: the preseason, what really looked off in the first week 102 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: of the NFL? Oh lines and quarterback play? Right, So 103 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: teams now with a seventeenth game are treating Week one 104 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: like an extension of the preseason. And no, again, why 105 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: not you can go on one? Doesn't matter. Green Bay 106 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: last year got drilled by the Saints. Week one got 107 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: beat by Minnesota. In the end, it probably doesn't matter much. 108 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: But this is the way life goes in cycles. You know, 109 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: It's like first the NFL's real physical, and then it's 110 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: all offense, and then the running game returns and they 111 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: you can't pay a running back. Is that you're going 112 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: to see a move or a shift back to more 113 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: physical practices. Maybe in the next CBA, a few more 114 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks and offensive lineman playing in the preseason, I 115 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: think you need to hit. I think this is a 116 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: sport of contacts and collisions, and I think you need 117 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: to hit a lot in preseason.

Well, you know him 170 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: as the number one overall pick a national title NFL 171 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: comeback player of the Year help the Bengals get to 172 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Over came an unbelievably difficult injury. He 173 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: is going to be part of the volume going forward, 174 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: we hope for a long time. I mean, we got 175 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: Draymond Green, we got Richard Sherman, and we got Joe Burrow. 176 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: Those were our three targets. Those are the guys we wanted. 177 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: So our recruiting class was sensational at the volume. Whoever, 178 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: our recruiting coordinator is kicked ass, that's all I know. 179 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: And Joe Burrow is joining us well, first of all, 180 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: I wish you were joining us in better circumstances. So 181 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: let's talk about this though. Brady said something that was 182 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: pretty interesting the other day. He said, at forty five, 183 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: I feel every hit when I wake up the next day. Everything, 184 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: he said, I have bruises who over my arms? You 185 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: probably you know, young great shape athlete, don't. But in 186 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: a situation like Sunday, that's probably the best pass rush 187 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: you will face all year. That is probably it. Do 188 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: you wake up the next day and think, shit, man, 189 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: that I can feel that? Could you feel it? Yeah? 190 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: After a game, I mean we played one hundred and 191 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: four snaps. So I was definitely sore the next day, 192 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: but you know, like you said, I'm young. So today 193 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: I got my two workouts in. After that, you know, 194 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm feeling it tom better. And I bruised like a piece. 195 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: So my body ever since high school, I've bruised like 196 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: a peach. People will be horrified if they saw me 197 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: after games taking my pads off, of my shirt off. 198 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: But I feel a lot better than I look. Let's 199 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: go back to the appendectomy surgery. That's a major surgery. 200 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: You know everybody thinks, oh, it's it's an appendix. No, 201 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: You're going inside a body and taking something out. And again, 202 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: I've had minor surgeries and it takes your body weeks 203 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: to recover from that. So I looked at you and 204 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: I thought, well, I didn't get a lot of snaps, 205 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: and this is the best pass rush he's facing. Plus 206 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's teams, whenever they're underdogs in division, they played 207 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: with their hair on fire. Like it was like everybody 208 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: was saying, oh good God, Steelers will play their their 209 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: defensive game of the year. Did you feel on a 210 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: couple of the throws, man, I could have used like 211 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: twelve more practices. I could have used more reps. Maybe 212 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: you never want to make excuses for a performance. Obviously 213 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: not my best in the first half. I thought I 214 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: responded well in the fourth quarter and put us in 215 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: a position to win the game. But obviously you'd like 216 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: to have a lot of those throws and decisions back 217 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: in that first half going into the beginning of that 218 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: third quarter. So you don't make excuses about whether you 219 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: had a training camp or not. You know, we went 220 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: went into my rookie year without any offseason and no 221 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: excuses there either, So no excuses from the surgery from camp. 222 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: But I like how we responded in the fourth quarter. 223 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: You have a quality that it reminds me so much 224 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: of Andrew Luck. I was a huge Andrew Luck fan, 225 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: and I saw Andrew do this at college at Stanford. 226 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: He was playing USC in the coliseum when I was there. 227 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: Late in the game, he'd played beautifully and he had 228 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: a really bad pick six and it was you know, 229 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: it was just kind of a simple out. He didn't 230 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: read the corner at all, and he throws a pick 231 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: six at the coliseum. He comes over to David Sean, 232 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: he puts his hands on his helmet and he's I 233 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: can see him where I'm sitting and he's grinning like, oh, 234 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. He came back with an absolutely dart 235 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: after dart after dart, and this is this is hard. 236 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: This game gets into your head. I mean, you got T. J. 237 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: Watt coming after you. It's it's it's your rival. You 238 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: you throw a pick. You and luck tend to be 239 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: short memory guys. So my takeaway is, Um, you know 240 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: Dad's a coach. Does it come from Dad? What did 241 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: you transition into that in high school? Did interceptions bother you? Like? 242 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: Where does that come from? Because I don't think a 243 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: lot of these young quarterbacks haven't. Yeah, I kind of. 244 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: I have my own way of dealing with it. I 245 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: let it consume me for about thirty seve and I'm 246 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: ad at the world. I'm mad at myself, I'm ad 247 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: at everything that's going on. I'm about as frustrated as 248 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: you can get. And then after that's up, I can 249 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: kind of just flip a switch and forget about it 250 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: and move on to the next play. Look at the 251 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: pictures on the sideline, see why it happened, well my 252 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: thought process was, and then put it behind me. Are 253 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: most interceptions, overly aggressive, misread timing. If I had to 254 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: categorize them, and there's four boxes. If you look at 255 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: your career, where did most of them come from? Mine 256 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: have been mostly over aggressiveness thinking I could maybe fit 257 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: a ball in here where I probably shouldn't have tried. 258 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: The amount of miss red coverages that I've had are 259 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: few and far between. I hadn't had one of those 260 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday, but for the most part, it's over aggressiveness. 261 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: And then you also have to give the defense credit. 262 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I had I had one on Sunday that 263 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: t J. Watches jumped in the air and grabbed it 264 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: on a on a six yard throw that you know 265 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: not every defensive player can make that kind of play, 266 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: So you got to give credit to the defense when 267 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: when you have those situations and then you know learn 268 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: from them on your end, you want to throw them 269 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: on Monday so you can get better, see what you 270 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: did well and go from there. You probably to me, 271 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: you have the two best pass rushers in football, or 272 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and t J. Watt, and you face them 273 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: four times totally a year when you line up kind 274 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: of the same game, Are there things do you see 275 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: them as totally different athletes. Obviously they're coming on that 276 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: same side rush end. I mean, do you just see 277 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: them as great players or do they have habits? Do 278 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: they have tells? They're great players? Really in our division. 279 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: The pass rushers in our in our division or the 280 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: best in football AFC West top to bottom can probably 281 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: rival at rivalry. But I mean t J Watt, Miles, Garrett, 282 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: cam Hayward at three technique, you got Jadeveon Clowney justin 283 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: Houston with the Ravens. You got the Oay kid for 284 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens, and you got Trey Henderson Sam Hubbard on 285 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: our team. I mean, they're really unbelievable pass rushers and 286 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: so we we we've got good, good plans for him 287 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: when when we play them. But they're gonna they're gonna 288 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: get sacks. That's what they do. That's what they get 289 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: paid a lot a lot of money to do. So 290 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna get theres. You just got to try to 291 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: limit it and protect the ball. So eleven quarterbacks didn't 292 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: take a snap in preseason. You it was because of surgery. 293 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: Some guys just didn't want to do it. I get it. 294 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: The more we pay quarterbacks you know, maybe the more 295 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: protective they are, Like, I totally get it. But the 296 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that didn't take snaps, and there were many great 297 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: ones went three and eight right, And you know, some 298 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: guys quarterbacks have told me through the years they like 299 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: to get popped. They you know, they like to get hit. 300 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: So this year, Mahomes, by the way, does play and 301 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: was great on Sunday. Next year, given a choice, would 302 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: you want to play some in the preseason, Yeah, I 303 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: would have liked to place on this year. That was 304 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: my plan going in. We hadn't discussed that with our 305 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: coaching staff at camp because you know, I had the 306 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: surgery the day before camp started and so we just 307 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: didn't have the opportunity. But that was going to be 308 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: a request of mine. I'd like to play at least 309 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: a series, just get the feeling of live bullets, get 310 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: out there with the guys, field of communication in a 311 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: game setting, and I think that's pretty underrated. So next 312 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: year I would like to, but you know, we'll see. Listen, 313 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 1: you led the Super Bowl with two and it's left 314 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: You're not only a franchise quarterback. You're able to do 315 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: what very few in my sportscasting career can do. Go 316 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: to an organization at struggling, young coach, old line, struggling. 317 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: You know again, it's Andrew luck and you turn it around. 318 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: So listen, losing sucks and you haven't lost a lot 319 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: and so it was a go either way game. You lose, 320 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: where do you go emotionally after that? The history of 321 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: the league is super Bowl loser is never good the 322 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: next year. And I said on the air, I said, 323 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: it feels different for Cincinnati, like, I think they're going 324 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: to be really good. I don't know what Cleveland doing 325 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: at quarterback. I'm not sure if Pittsburgh's got the quarterback 326 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: button down. I'm like, I don't know. I feel like 327 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: they addressed the interioral line. They have a pass rush, receivers, quarterback, Like, 328 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't see the weakness. But did you just say 329 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm getting the hell out of football for two weeks, 330 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: like I have to just go hide. Yeah, I mean 331 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: that was about you know, I still got my workouts, say, 332 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: and I still that's what I enjoyed doing. That's how 333 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: I relax. I get get some workouts and so got 334 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: to the weight room, did that. But you know, watch 335 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: the film the day after of the Super Bowl and 336 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: then put it behind me, didn't talk about it, didn't 337 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: think about it, tried to move on to this year. 338 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: And I mean, we got sixteen games left, bad, bad start, 339 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: but we were one and one last year. We got 340 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: a chance to be one one this year, going into Dallas, 341 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: big game on the road to come out with that 342 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: Rindy feeling a lot better Joe Burrow today and Joe 343 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: Burrow first start in the NFL. So I want you 344 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: to go back if you can. Where are you significantly 345 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 1: better today than you were all those starts ago? At 346 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, I really understand, you know the 347 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: plays that aren't going to work versus a certain look, 348 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: and you know I have enough reps under my belt 349 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: that I know what play to get to against that 350 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: same look. Just because year three in the system, I've 351 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: seen a lot of more football than I had, you know, 352 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: that first year, and same coaches basically since my rookie season. 353 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: And I think that's I mean, that's so underrated across 354 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: the league. You see a lot of these young guys 355 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: with a different offensive coordinator each year, and you're running 356 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: a new off It's new language, new way of talking 357 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: about every play. Each year, and I don't I'm not 358 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: sure that's a recipe for success. And so you know, 359 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: the way that the front office has surrounded me with 360 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: really good, smart people that understand the game, that play hard, 361 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: and then the coaches that give us a great game 362 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: plan each week. I mean, I really couldn't have asked 363 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: for a better situation to come into the league too. 364 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: You know you one of the things that you did 365 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: early in your career is you you know, you told 366 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: the front office we should get Jamar Chase and people said, geez, 367 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: Joe your offensive line and you're like, no, no, this 368 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: guy is completely different. Which Jamar Chase is one of 369 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: the you get about one a year in college football 370 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: where you're watching a player in college and you're like, oh, 371 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: that's a pro football player just playing on saturdays. Like 372 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: he's way better. So yeah, not all the quarterbacks would 373 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: be comfortable with that, knowing that you needed like protection, 374 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's part of the rebuild on that offensive front. 375 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: Did you make a decision one day to just say 376 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm just going to go and tell our front office 377 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: guys you're making a How did you preface it? How 378 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: do you go about as a young quarterback going to 379 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: a general manager or going to an executive in saying that. 380 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: So I didn't go up there and do it. I 381 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: think what made me feel great was they came to 382 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: me and asked me, I think, you know, as a quarterback, 383 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: as somebody that has felt like they've earned respect in 384 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: the league when all we want to feel is to 385 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: feel included in decisions, whether we are or we aren't. 386 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: You know, they just kept me in the loop. They 387 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: asked me my opinion on Jamar, and I said, I mean, 388 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: he's a home run. He just makes the game look easy, right. 389 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people like him, right. I 390 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: mean the way he catches the ball, runs routes, makes 391 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: people miss when he gets the ball, shrugs defenders off. 392 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he's really just incredible. He played ninety five 393 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: snaps day, and I mean that's not normal. In our 394 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: Z receiver goes down, he gets a concussion in the 395 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: first quarter, and so we're moving Jamar from X to 396 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: Z to the slot and he's playing ninety five snaps. 397 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really smart, cerebral football player that 398 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: just goes hard. Did you know instantly first LSU practice 399 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: he was this so he was the first person that 400 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: I threw with when I got to LSU, I didn't 401 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: know anybody that I go in on Saturday, and Jamar 402 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: is the first person in there with me. I'd be 403 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: lying if I said I knew that he was going 404 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: to become exactly what he is now. But we kind 405 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: of grew up as football players together understood. I mean, 406 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: he was he didn't play a lot his freshman year, 407 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: but you know, I saw the talent and he caught 408 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: my first touchdown pass at LSU. And like I said, 409 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: we just grew up as football players together at the 410 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: college level, and then the same thing at the NFL level. 411 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: And so we have this rare connection and unspoken understanding 412 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: of routes, and when we get to the line of skirmage, 413 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: it could just be a look that you know, he 414 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: knows what I want. I know what he wants, and 415 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: I think that's rare. So I have this kind of 416 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: weird theory that quarterbacks have become American royalty. So when 417 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: I was a kid in the seventies, the biggest stars 418 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: in sports were like shortstops, like the Yankee shortstop or 419 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: a Dodger short stop, or an NBA star internationally, the 420 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: biggest stars are like tennis stars or a soccer star, 421 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: but football now has taken over our world. Quarterbacks are 422 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: now being paid for social stuff, for shoe stuff. You 423 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: are the biggest stars in America. And it's probably just 424 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: a coincidence, but over the last ten to twelve to 425 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: fifteen years, I think there's an advantage to playing in Buffalo, 426 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: New Orleans, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City. They're not 427 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: large media markets. You can literally hide because you guys 428 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: are literally you know, you are superstars, and it's like 429 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: a big part of the NFL Star quarterback group. It's 430 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: right in the middle of the country. New York's quarterbacks 431 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: not as pronounced. You know, Russell Wilson left Seattle and 432 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: you talked about a perfect situation. I'm like, Cincinnati's perfect. 433 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: You get a yard, you can have dogs, you're not 434 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 1: close to your parents. It's not a big media market, 435 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: and I feel like there's an advantage that Joe Burrow, 436 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: who's the Joe Namoth of this generation, kind of cool 437 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: national title. You can pretty much hide in Cincinnati, can't you. Well, 438 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: I think I'm uniquely positioned to, you know, have success 439 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Because I'm from Ohio. I understand the people 440 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: of Ohio, So I have this connection to the the 441 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: fan base that I don't think a lot of other 442 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks across the league have. I understand them, they understand me. 443 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: It's just something about growing up in the same area 444 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: of the country that unites people from that area, and 445 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: everybody feels it where they're from. When they get back 446 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: to their hometown, it feels different than you know, when 447 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: they go to New York or La Just I understand 448 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: these people and they understand me, and I think that 449 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: has kind of drawn drawn them to me and drawn 450 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: me to them, and it's really been a perfect match. Well, 451 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: i's say you had to transfer people in Ohio feel 452 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: overlooked fly over country. Is that what you mean? Yeah, exactly. 453 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: It's nothing nothing easy in Ohio. You grow up, you 454 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: grew up tough, adversity, you got to push through it, 455 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: and people that come out on top or are great people. 456 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: I stay here in the offseason just because I'm an 457 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: Ohio guy. I love the people, love the place. It's 458 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: been great. You have to have dogs, don't you. No, 459 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm more of a cat guy. Wow, what 460 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: a revelation. Well, you know, but cats are curious. Also, 461 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: you're busy, so like dogs or work? Yeah, right exactly. 462 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: So I had cats or I had one cat growing up, 463 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: and I had I had a lizard, I had turtles, 464 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: but no dogs. Never was allowed to have a dog. Wow, well, 465 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: let me taste that. They're great, but they're work. I 466 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,239 Speaker 1: have to clean stuff up in the yard every single day. 467 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: It's it's like a child. It's like a child. It's 468 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: a child that poops in the yard. That's exactly what 469 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: it is. And I have two of them and they're amazing. 470 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: It's it's funny. If I was in my position, people 471 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: compare all the time, this talk show host, this talk 472 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: show host, this talk show host. I kind of tune 473 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: it out because I think everybody's unique. You do your 474 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: own thing, some or TV, summer radio. But there there 475 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: are times in my career I've seen some comparisons and 476 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: I've thought, you're not you don't really understand the business quarterbacks. 477 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: I'm guilty. We're always comparing you, guys. We're always comparing. 478 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: Is there ever times you just want to call a 479 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: show and go, the hell are you talking about? You 480 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: don't understand? Yeah? For sure. For sure, and it's usually 481 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: not with me. It's usually with different people across the league, 482 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: Like I don't I don't think Matt Stafford gets enough credit. 483 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Kirk Cousins gets enough credit for how 484 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: well they played for so long. It's people quarterbacks like 485 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: that in certain markets that maybe didn't have the team 486 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: success for a long time, didn't get the playoff wins. 487 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: But you know, they were really really good for a 488 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: long time and have played well, made a lot of money. 489 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: And then you know, if I was to lose a 490 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl to somebody, I'm glad it was Matthew Stafford 491 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: just because of what he's gone through in the league. 492 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: You know, he was in Detroit, no playoff wins, was 493 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: really good for a long time, had a lot of 494 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: good teams, but just couldn't quite get over that hump. 495 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: And you know what he did with LA last year. 496 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: I was I was happy to watch that. Yeah, for 497 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: the record, a super Bowl. Bill Romanowski once told me 498 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: he does not remember the first series. He said, it's flashlights. 499 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: He goes, it didn't happen. It's like an alien abduction. 500 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: People tell me it happened. I don't remember it. Yeah, 501 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 1: go to your first series. Is it a little bit 502 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: of a blur? Is it? Was? It greater than you anticipated? 503 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: It felt like a dinner party and we were the entertainment. 504 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: It was because, I mean, you come off a road 505 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: game in Kansas City, a road game in Tennessee, and 506 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: then you know, your first home win in the playoffs 507 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: in thirty some years, and you go to the super 508 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: Bowl and it's more corporate and there's it just took 509 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: a second to get used to. It didn't feel like 510 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: a playoff football game. It was. It was a weird 511 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: feeling at the beginning, for sure. Yeah, But nerves weren't 512 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: a factor. No. I mean, once you get out there, 513 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: football's football. You prepare all week to get those nerves out, 514 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: and you know they come the day's leading up. But 515 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: then once you get to game day, you know you're prepared. 516 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: You know you've you've done the film study, you understand 517 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: your game plan, and so you're out there playing for you. 518 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: This week's gold Medal performance goes to a quarterback who 519 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: lived up to the hype. In Week one, Josh Allen 520 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: showed his MVP worth and the Bills opening romp over 521 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: the Rams. Unlike Brady and Montana. Alan isn't the best 522 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, but he's the most talented, more 523 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: physical than Big Band, more refined than Cam Newton. Allen 524 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: will have an amazing career while sometimes driving you crazy 525 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: love watching him play. Though this week's gold medal performance 526 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals, the stock market's been plumbering, 527 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: many economists predicting it's just the beginning, which could mean 528 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: tremendous losses in your portfolio. Historically, there's been one answer 529 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: to this gold in the two thousand and eight crash 530 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: when the market dipped, gold went up.

So I when you put the 538 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: jacket on, and I cut a promo where I put 539 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: your glasses in your jacket on. But I do believe 540 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: that it's like a fight Mike Tyson. Remember when Mike 541 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: Tyson was in his prime and he would only wear 542 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: black shorts and a hoodie that was ripped off, And 543 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: so I believe that was all part of him saying, 544 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm fighting to death. I don't want any glitz. I 545 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: don't want anything. This is I am. I want to 546 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: be as spartan, as minimalistic as I can be. I 547 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: don't want any fru fru stuff. I don't And I 548 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: really thought that was part of his mindset, like Mike 549 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: was just I want to look like I'm going to 550 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: spar And when I watch you come into games, I think, oh, 551 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: that's a mindset. Joe's cool, Joe's confident, Joe's the man. 552 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: Now that's probably a reach by me, but I know 553 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: the fans, but I Joe. Before I do every show, 554 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: I go hide for ten to twelve minutes and I 555 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: just get it in my head. I'm performing, it's my 556 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: opening rant. I'm performing. Jerry Seinfeld does that, Seinfeld to 557 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: sign autographs fifteen minutes before the show. Jerry's like, I 558 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: gotta go hide. I've got to get into it. You're performing. 559 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: So when I watch you in your outfits, my takeaways, oh, No, 560 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: he's getting into his space this game. He wakes up. 561 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: It's game day? Am I wrong on that? You're not? 562 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: You're not far off, you know. I I always felt like, 563 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: you look good, you feel good, you play good. And 564 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: whether that was my uniform or what I wore to 565 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: the game, it used to be suits every single game, 566 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: try to look sharp. And then you know, I kind 567 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: of evolved as a person and have found things that 568 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: I liked that I enjoy wearing um and got all 569 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: of I wouldn't some of the stuff I would never 570 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: wear out to dinner. But like you said, game day 571 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: is different. It's it's a mindset. It's you're going in 572 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: there too. I mean it's not a fight, but you're 573 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: going to go in there and go to war with 574 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: guys that get paid just like you two and work 575 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: just as hard as you do throughout the week to 576 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: try to take something from you, and you got to 577 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: go take it from them, all right. You faced the Cowboys? 578 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: Have you ever faced the Cowboys? No? Okay? So when 579 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: I was a kid, I didn't have any feelings about 580 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I really didn't. I I was I was 581 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: a Seahawk fan. I didn't like the Raiders. I thought 582 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: they you know, they were cheap. I like the Seahawks, 583 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: but I never, as a Midwest kid, did with the seat. 584 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: Would the Cowboys anything to you? No, I knew that 585 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: I enjoyed washing them on Thanksgiving. That's about it. You know. 586 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't a big NFL football fan growing up. I 587 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: was more of a college football fan, and so I 588 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: would I would watch the NFL every now and then 589 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: on you know, back Thanksgiving was the big the big 590 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: holiday that I would watched with the family. But other 591 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: than that, I didn't watch a lot of NFL football 592 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: and didn't really interest me. Do you think in a 593 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: weird way that helps you that you're not in awe 594 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: of it? Yeah? Probably, you know I was when I 595 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: got to college. It was probably more of a culture 596 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: shock than college to the NFL, just because you know, 597 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: I played at a small high school and then you 598 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: go to Ohio State and there's all the best players 599 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: in the country and you're like, Wow, do I really 600 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: belong here? You see all these people flying around making plays, 601 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: and so it took meanwhile to adjust to that. But 602 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: then you know, you get to the NFL. I've played 603 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: at Ohio State. I played at LSU. I've seen all 604 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: this different kind of football with all these players. The 605 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: adjustment came more naturally. All right, So it's Tuesday. Is 606 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: Tuesday just film day for you. Yeah, work, get my 607 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: workouts in, get my massage, get all the preliminary film 608 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: study in before you get in to the week tomorrow. 609 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: Understand what you're gonna watch.

Maybe change this, change this, and maybe tweet 614 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: that there and then it just kind of evolves throughout 615 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,959 Speaker 1: the week.
