26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,199

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,959

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: it's not really a public conversation. And we're going to

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: try to put our best team out there and play

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: our best practice.

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,880

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: Like I said, he practiced today fully and that's what

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: he did.

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: You guys appreciate it.

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,560

Speaker 2: of appreciated that. What do you guys like about him?

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: And how long do you think we'll need to.

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: Wrap up this coming off? Uh, looks like he's in

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: good shape. It won't be this game you just got

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: here today, but uh, he'll be on the practice squad

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: and that's a good a good spot for him to

45
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: get ready to play. And it looks like looks like

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: he is in good shape. Short week next week, so

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: we'll have to see how that goes. But uh, but

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: We played against him a lot, have a lot of

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: respect for him. Really good guy too, so smart experienced players.

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: So that's a good thing.

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 6: John, what do you mean, what do you think of

52
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 6: Mike Green's ascension to the NFL, And do you think

53
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 6: he's close to making him as an impact play is

54
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 6: like SEC type player?

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I do.

56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: I do think he's I think he's ready to make

57
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: those plays. And I'm ready for him to make those plays,

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, he's he's practicing really well. He's

59
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: he does get better, noticeably better every single practice, you know,

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: and every single game. You can see it in a

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: little thing. So you'd break through at some point in

62
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: time and make a couple of big plays for us

63
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: and and get rolling. That's that's what we're looking for.

64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 5: John to kind of expound on that, Chuck saying, you

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: really asking Mike to do a lot that maybe other repeats.

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: At his position don't. Do you see him dropping back?

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: You know, maybe in a different context, if you guys

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: were healthier, he'd be in for fewer downs and more

69
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 5: of those downs two years hit back type pass rush downs.

70
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 5: Do you think in some ways it's been limited.

71
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: By no I think that, I mean, I think that.

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: I think that he's a he's a complete football player,

73
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: you know. To me, he's that's that's a compliment, that's

74
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: a plus side thing. So is he going to get sacks?

75
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: Is that what you're asking me? Heck, yeah, he's gonna

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: get sacks. He's going to get sacks. And we're we're

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: a diverse defense and a multiple defense. And I think

78
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: if you look at his body type or if you

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: watch him play, you can see he's capable of doing

80
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: all kind of stuff, you know, so that just makes

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: him a better football player.

82
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: John Moore is not able.

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: To play, or he is not able to start h

84
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: hut of power from the Dons. Uf Tyler will be

85
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: the next stupand.

86
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: Out there is everything.

87
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: Yes, we gave him an arrest day, Yeah, no practice

88
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: rest day, so he's not injury report roster.

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 5: Mechanic standpoint of the yad the great made.

90
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna make that announcement because I was

91
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: just instructed not to. But you know, we saw we

92
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: cut Zaire. Hopefully we'll get him back on the practice

93
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: squad or in some form of fashion. So so happy

94
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: with the way Zaire played for us, his development over

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: the last year, here has been phenomenal. Uh, really proud

96
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: of him, appreciative of him, and uh and we'll see

97

00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,320

176
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,280

00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 5: Are you worry about the one and five start having

180
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 5: sort of a hangover type defect?

181
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Nah, not at all.

182
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 7: I think thinking back to when the Bengals went to

183
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl, I think they had a pretty bad

184
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 7: record starting off that year. I can't remember their record,

185
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 7: but I remember them going to the Super Bowl that

186
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 7: one year and they had they didn't have a good

187
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 7: record starting off, But it's about how you finish.

188
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: Do you feel like the belief is still there from

189
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: everybody in the room that you guys can do everything.

190
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: You've been you want to do.

191
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 7: Yes, So we just got to win the games that

192
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 7: we need to win and we'll be right by where

193
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 7: we need to be.

Speaker 3: It always feels great just to be out there and

00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: be able to play football and be around a uh

260
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: a good group of guys wanna work. So yeah, this

261
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: is a positive experience.

262
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 4: What would your kind of impression of the defense and

263
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 4: just obviously still learning.

264
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 6: It, but I I I think my impression of defense

265
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 6: is like, uh, I haven't been in a three four

266
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 6: in a while. I've been a a attacking for three

267
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 6: so kind of just getting up, picking up with terminology

268
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 6: and stuff like that, Just trying to be a sponge

269
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: as much as possible, learning from anybody who's.

270
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: Wanted to teach me and learn. So yeah, that's been

271
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: a positive experience. Can I hope could be a three

272
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: down uh player or or pass quecial whatever. I can

273
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: do everything at a high high level.

274
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 6: My thing is just always just being making sure I'm

275
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 6: healthy and consistent with that part of it. But as

276
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 6: far as being a three down player, I'm I'm very

277
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 6: very capable of do that at a high level. But

278
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 6: whatever the team asking me, that's what I'm gonna try

279
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 6: to go out and do at a high level and

280
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 6: just do my best every single day.

281
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Coming off this season where where you had five SATs

282
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: from surprised that that it took this long to latch

283
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: onto a team and does it you know anyway?

284
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm I was gonna have a chip on

285
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 6: my shoulder, but there was just opportunit I didn't think

286
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 6: were the best fit for me. And it's like, you know, sometime,

287
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 6: I've always been in a rush for certain things. So yeah,

288
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 6: so it just it wasn't necessarily didn't know how long

289
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 6: the process was gonna take.

290
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: I just knew it was gonna happen, and I know,

291
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: you know, I was just gonna take time.

292
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 6: Just sharpening my axe instead of sitting there worry about

293
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 6: what if and whatnot. It's like, okay, well, you know,

294
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 6: not here today, work work tomorrow, work the next day,

295
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 6: and enjoy life and just be on my fiancee and family.

296
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 3: So yeah, what what lots of places for you? Uh?

297
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 6: I I personally think it's just more so the opportunity

298
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 6: to play the defense.

299
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

300
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 6: And I also think it's just it's AFC North football

301
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 6: like that. I've I I kind of didn't necessarily know

302
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 6: if it was gonna happen here for years, but it's

303
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 6: there's always been very much hints coming off the Achilles

304
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 6: per first game I played was the Ravens leaving Cincinnati

305
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 6: to Ravens, and it's always kind of been like one

306
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 6: of those things. It's like, you know, like all O

307
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 6: their hints there and but you just never know. But yeah,

308
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 6: but I I grew up watching Sugs in Denmerville. So yeah,

309
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 6: just to get the opportunity to to following footsteps of

310
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 6: the guys that I've looked up to is very much blessing.

311
