All of that 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: is straight ahead.

I spend a lot of time on planes, 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: and I have a tremendous amount of respect for flight attendants, 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: especially after an eight hour flight in the middle of 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: the night back from London. While most of the passengers slept, 20 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: the flight attendants stayed awake, served a couple of meals, 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 1: brought the drink cart through the cabin several times, cleaned 22 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: up after everybody, and did it all with a smile. 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: So here's to all of the flight attendants who do 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: what they can to put the friendly in the friendly skies. 25 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: Now let's get to this week's game. In recent weeks, 26 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor has faced abundant criticism over his heavy use 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: of eleven personnel. In case you're not familiar with the 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: universal numbering lingo and football, the first digit is for 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: the number of running backs on the field and the 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: second digit is for the number of tight ends. So 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: eleven personnel is one running back, one tight end, and 32 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: three wide receivers, and the Bengals have used that grouping 33 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: more than any other team in football this year. It 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: obviously hasn't been working very well, and on Sunday at 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium, the Bengals decided to mix things up. They 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: made frequent use of multiple tight ends and it had 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: two positive effects. Number One, Tyler Eifert was a big 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: weapon in the passing game. Dalton looks to throw his 39 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: passage medal cot near midfield by Tyler Eiffert and Tyler 40 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Eifert makes it to the Rams forty two yard line 41 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: for a huge gain on third down and five and 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: an ihop first down. Eiffert finished with six catches for 43 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: seventy four yards, but that wasn't the biggest positive. Having 44 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: Eiffert and cj Uzamba on the field at the same 45 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: time brought the bengals anemic rushing attack to life. Bengals 46 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: come out with double tight ends, but Eiffort detaches and 47 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: goes out wide to the right. Here's a run up 48 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: the medal mix and breaking tackles as he sprints forward 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: between the hash marks for a first down gain. He 50 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: runs for eleven now to the thirty six and it's 51 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: an ihop first down. Man Old Man, David Long, Junior. 52 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: You are a junior because the senior mixing just ran 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: you over. Mixing ran for fifty three yards on ten 54 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: carries in the first half and for a quarter and 55 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: a half, the Bengals went toe to toe with the 56 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: high powered Rams. First and ten. At the Bengals thirty 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: one golf back to throw throws over the middle. It 58 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: is caught at the five yard line and Reynolds takes 59 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: it into the end zone for a Rams touchdown. That 60 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Jared Golf touchdown pass gave the Rams a ten three 61 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: lead in the second quarter. The Bengals answered with a 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: seventy five yard drive to tie the game. Second and goal, 63 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: just short of the one yard line. Dalton is under center. 64 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: Everybody bunched in tight. Stanley Morgan goes in motion from 65 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: left to right. Now motions back to the left. They 66 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: fake up him. They throw the Mixing names, he catches it. 67 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: Touchdown Bengals as Dalton floats one to Mixing at the 68 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: goal line for a Bengals touchdown. Was career touchdown pass 69 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: number one ninety seven for the Red Rifle, pulling him 70 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: even with Ken Anderson for the Bengals all time franchise record. 71 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: But the tie score only lasted for one minute and 72 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: twenty one seconds. Cooper Cup goes in motion. They give 73 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: it to him. Now they pitch it back to Golf 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: for a flea. Flicker throws for Cup wide open. The 75 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Bengals defender falls down. Cooper Cup sprinting down the far 76 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: sideline and he will take it to the house. Unreal 77 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: Rams touchdown. That's sixty five yard touchdown gave the Rams 78 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: a seventeen ten halftime lead. And get these first half 79 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: numbers for wide receiver Cooper Cup. He had five catches 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: and they went for gains of twenty one, twenty five, 81 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: thirty one, twenty three and sixty five. That's one hundred 82 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: sixty five yards in the half. On the opening drive 83 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: of the third quarter, Cup added catches of fifteen and 84 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: forty to finish with seven grabs for two hundred twenty yards. 85 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Several of those catches came with Tony McCrae in coverage. 86 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: I talked to him about it after the game. I 87 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: could have competed well better against him than I did today. 88 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: He shouldn't have he shouldn't have had the yard as 89 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: he had, but he worked for it, so kudos anything 90 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: about him in particular that makes him so tough. Smart player, 91 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: understands what you're doing to him. He vet guy. You 92 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: can tell he's not only a good athlete, he understands 93 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: the game. You are visibly down about the outcome today, 94 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: and it's understandable. Why are you taking this one especially 95 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: hard personally? Yeah? I feel like I prepare well, just 96 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: didn't execute the way I should have executed it today. 97 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: Whenever you take a loss, shoe, look at yourself and 98 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at myself right now. Mccraig's honesty is commandable. 99 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: But Cooper Cup's huge game wasn't all his fault. I 100 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: asked Dave Lapham why Cincinnati could not cover Cup. I 101 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: think the bank were their own worst enemy in a 102 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: lot of cases, with bad discipline in their own coverages. 103 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: He had huge cavities. I mean a guy like that 104 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: coming into the game with over fifty catches. He was 105 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: second in the NFL and he was fifth in yards, 106 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: So you know, it's not like you know that he 107 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: can't make play. So for him to be as open 108 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: as he was at times, and you know his Bengals 109 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: hurt themselves. But the guy is a great player. Shoot, 110 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: he's fast, he's good hands, I mean, he's smart, catches 111 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: the heck out of the football. And like I said, 112 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: coming in he was in the top five in both 113 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: categories and second and catches. So you don't you don't 114 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: want to you don't want to have a guy like that, 115 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, get off on you like he did, because 116 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: you know he was capable of it coming into the 117 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: game based on his Prouder stats. So the Rams were 118 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: up by seven at the half and heading into the game, 119 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: Los Angeles was twenty one in oh with a halftime 120 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: lead under Sean McVeagh. The key to that stat is 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: adding to halftime leads, which the Rams did on their 122 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: opening drive of the third quarter. Sean McVay covering his 123 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: mouth with his play sheet as he describes what he 124 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: wants into the helmet radio of golf. It's a toss 125 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: sweep to the left and Gurley down to the five 126 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: toward the pylon. Touchdown Rams. That made a twenty four 127 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: to ten and that was it for the Rams offense. 128 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: They punted on their final four drives of the game. Unfortunately, 129 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: the Bengals couldn't capitalize. Third down and seven, the Bengals 130 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: at their own twenty four. Dalton catches the shotgun snap 131 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: and he sacked. He'll drop back to throw Andy will 132 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: be sacked by Aaron Donald, who pile drives him into 133 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: the Wembley turf for a loss of three. Dalton under 134 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: pressure and he will be sacked for the fifth time today. 135 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: Back at the twenty eight yard line. Down by fourteen, 136 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: with a little more than five minutes to go, the 137 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: Bengals had one last good chance to make it a game, 138 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: but they needed a touchdown on fourth and goal from 139 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: the Rams six. Empty backfield for Andy Dalton, who waits 140 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: the eleven yard line for the shotgun snap quick throw slamp. 141 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: It is caught and the tackle is made. The Bengals 142 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: will not convert tackle made it to three yard line 143 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: and the Bengals on the past the Stanley Morgan Junior 144 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: do not get in. That was the sixth time this 145 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: year that the Bengals have driven into the red zone 146 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: without scoring a single point. Before the game was finished, 147 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: they made it seven times from the nine yard line. 148 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Final play of the game, Dalton, looking to throw, scrambling 149 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: to the right eyes in the end zone, cocks the arm, 150 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: throws into the back of the end zone, battered away 151 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: intended for Auden Tate, and the game is over. The 152 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: Bengals remained winless. They are oh and eight for the 153 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: sixth time in franchise history. They fall to the Rams 154 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: today by the final score of twenty four to ten. 155 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: Dalton finished with three hundred twenty nine passing yards and 156 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: the Bengals ran for one oh four that's roughly twice 157 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: what they've been getting on the ground per game, but 158 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: the combination of goff to cup killed them time to 159 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent three minutes 160 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: with Lap after the game. Got the running game going 161 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: a little bit in the first half, and um, you know, 162 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: you're using your multiple tight end packages and they were 163 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to how to match up 164 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: with it, and you guys, you guys gashed them a 165 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: few times. We did. You know that was encouraging. Um, 166 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: I thought our guys up fun did a great job 167 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: backs back Sneward hit it. We're doing an excellent job there. 168 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: And then tight ends factored in as well. But that 169 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: was certainly good start to the first half. So um. 170 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't run the ball real well, but Goff 171 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: started taking advantage of the middle of the field. It 172 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: looked like quite a few times in Cooper Cup. You 173 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: know all about these guys. I mean that guy's he's 174 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: something special, isn't he. Yeah, they got a bunch of 175 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: talented players and that's why they went to the Super 176 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: bowlash year. They got a lot of faith in them. 177 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: And you know, it works together. You know, we gotta 178 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: make sure we put pressure on there and claps the 179 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: pocket so that it didn't have the time to throw 180 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: down the field and um never sometimes we have some 181 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: poor zone discipline there on the back end, and we 182 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: got better job there. Had a couple of interception opportunities 183 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: in a game like this, when they're there, you got 184 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: to you gotta catch him right. You can't let them. 185 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: You can't let him. So three hands it was gonna 186 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: be the difference in winning it losing. You know, we 187 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: got to create some turnovers and we certainly had some 188 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: opportunities there and guys, I gotta step up and make 189 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: those plays. Those can be touchdowns the other way, big explosives, 190 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: you know, game changing plays and we gotta find a 191 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: way to make them. Alex Erickson ended up with six 192 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: catches for ninety seven yards, including that fifty two yard 193 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: or up the sideline. Tyler right for six catches for 194 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: seventy four yards, So there was some distribution of football 195 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: and tight made some big plays for you. They took 196 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: the touchdown away there at the end of the football game, 197 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: but it looked like you know, Andy had he set 198 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: a record for three hundred yard passing days. He was 199 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: thirty thirty five for fifty two three twenty nine yards 200 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: and a touchdown, So you guys were moving the football 201 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: we were just too many reds and opportunities that got 202 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: away from us. You know, we have the two we 203 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: ended up inside the tent at the end of the 204 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: game with no points and situations we had to go 205 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: for and fourth down three points wasn't gonna help us stare. 206 00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: And then we had plenty of times there on the 207 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: red on fringe where we went backwards and either got 208 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: knocked out of field goal range or took ourselves out 209 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: of fourth and go for it situation. So that was hard. 210 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: That's the difference in winning and losing. And that one drive, 211 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: I think he had four straight fourth down conversions. I mean, 212 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: you just kept kept going forward and making the conversience, 213 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: except like you said, when it was in the deep 214 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: in the deep red zone, and you know that that 215 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: obviously becomes a different dynamic a little bit. Yeah, you 216 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: guys had a lot of confidence what we're asking to do, 217 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: and so when you feel that energy, there's situations where 218 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: we felt like we needed to go for it to 219 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: give ourselves the best chance one of the game, and 220 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: our guys stepped up and executed. I played on a 221 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: team that started all eight coach in the in the 222 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: late seventies and our mindset at the bye, there wasn't 223 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: really a buye. But at the halfway point we said, okay, 224 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: didn't go right in the first half, So that's one 225 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: season that's over with. Let's start the second half and 226 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: make this the second season and see if we can 227 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: win some football games. We ended up winning half of them, 228 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: went four and four. Is that kind of the mindset now? 229 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: It is, you know, And we still got to take 230 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: it one game at a time, starting with a divisional 231 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: game at home, which is which is one we'd certainly 232 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: want to get after they got us on the road, 233 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: and the pie comes at the right time, you know, 234 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: we get a chance to get some guys healthy, get 235 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: our depth back and make a charge here on the 236 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: second half of the season. And I know guys are 237 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: believing that we're close. We're there. We can we can 238 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: break through this barrier man and start winning a lot 239 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: of football games. And we're close. We just gotta get 240 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: it done. Bengals are oh and eight for the first 241 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: time since OH eight in the second half of that 242 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: season they went four to three and one and then 243 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: one the AFC North in two thousand and nine. Now 244 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: time for some postgame analysis as Dave Lapham and I 245 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: discussed the bengals fifteenth loss in their last sixteen games. 246 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: A few things stood out to me after this game. 247 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: Lap number one, too many third and long conversions for 248 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: the Rams against the Bengals defense. Number two squandered opportunities 249 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: to intercept passes unofficially three of those today. And number 250 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: three too much Cooper Cup twenty saiving yards the Bengals 251 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: could not stop. Number eighteen for the Rams. He's the 252 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: one that made a lot of those third and long 253 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: plays too. I mean, he was, he was phenomenally. He 254 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: had what seven catches for two hundred and twenty yards, 255 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: over thirty one yards of catch, sixty five yard touchdown. 256 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: He was. He was magic out there, particularly in the 257 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: first half. You know, I thought that originally in the 258 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: first half the Rams had some problems matching up with 259 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: the two tight end formation and running game. The running 260 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: game got started pretty well. Joe Mixon had over fifty 261 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: yards rushing in that in that first half. And then 262 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: you know, again, kind of the circumstances the game dictate 263 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: you had to get away from that a little bit. 264 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: And and he throws it fifty two times. I mean, 265 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: he throws for over three hundred yards to set a 266 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: record for three hundred yard passing games in the franchise history. 267 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, he much rather would run it 268 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: fifty two times and win the football game. I can 269 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: tell you that right now. So you know, obviously, you know, 270 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: not enough, not enough points. You can't can't win in 271 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: the NFL scoring ten points, you can't win in the NFL. 272 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: Given up, you know, third and ten or more as 273 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: many times has occurred, and uh, you know that honestly, 274 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: there was some some discipline problems with zone coverages, you know, 275 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: in the back end of things that that caused some problems. 276 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: For sure, it's hard to be encouraged by a fourteen 277 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: point loss, but one building block for the Bengals was 278 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: the fact that they outrushed the Rams. We know about 279 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: that running game disparity this year that's been so bad 280 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: for the Bengals. Well they did outrush one of the 281 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: NFL's better rushing teams. Yeah, they're not running out like 282 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: they have in the last couple of years, but you know, 283 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure they wanted to run involve better than they 284 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: did tonight. Um and the Bengals did show some life 285 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: that ground game, Like I said with the first half, 286 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: particularly with the two tight ends set that I think, 287 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, Rams had to make some adjustments with a 288 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: little bit and how they were going to come out 289 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: and handle it. So unfortunately, again you know, too little, 290 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: too little, too late kind of scenario. And the problem 291 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: was in the red zone again, a couple of opportunities 292 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: down the stretch of the game where come away with 293 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: no points and a couple of red zone opportunities, want 294 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: to overturn touchdown catched and you know rightfully so, I mean, 295 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: the ball didn't move, the ball didn't bounce, but it 296 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: was that close to be in a touchdown for aud 297 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: and Tat and that would have said another record for 298 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton if that had happened. But again, these records 299 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: ring hollow to him if they don't win football games. 300 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: He would be the first one to say that. I know. 301 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: In fact, he said it in the postgame show. Zach 302 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: Taylor's message to the team after the game. We got 303 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: to treat it like were zero and zero going to 304 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: the buy come back as if it were the first game. 305 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: Obviously it's not, but that's what they have to try 306 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: to put into their minds and start the second half 307 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: of the season in much better form. Yeah, I mean, 308 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: you just got a reboot basically, you know, And that's 309 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: what everybody was, you know, echoing Zack's comments, and you know, 310 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: after the game in the postgame locker room, and and 311 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned to Zach Wan to talk to him. 312 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: I said, I've been there and I lived on don't 313 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: know on eight team, and we basically said, all right. 314 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: There was no buy back then, but we said, we're 315 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: at the halfway point. Hasn't worked out. We got to 316 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: put that aside as seasons over with. It was the 317 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: worst season we ever experienced. I start a second season 318 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: and see what we can do. And we ended up 319 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: four and four. And his response was, that's exactly what 320 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about doing. But you know, we're not looking 321 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: at eight games, an overall eight game record. We got 322 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: we gotta go beat the Baltimore Ravens, who is a 323 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: division opponent. They spanked us in Baltimore. We want to 324 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: we want to get off, you know, off on the 325 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: right track to start the second half of the season 326 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: with a division win. And you know, that's the mindset 327 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: you have to take. And right now, during the bye week, 328 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: I think as much as try to get healthy physically, 329 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: you got to get healthy mentally and come back with 330 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: that frame of mind. And and you know, maybe they'll 331 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: start to get some players back that they desperately need 332 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: to add to their depth, you know, and some guys 333 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: who played more snaps than they thought they would probably 334 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: in the first half of the season. If they get 335 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: some guys returning, that could be beneficial down the stretch. 336 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: How did they handle Aaron die in your opinion, I 337 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: thought I thought pretty well. I mean he had the one, 338 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: the one big, you know, tackle for loss. But I 339 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: think it takes a village to handle him. And I 340 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: think they recruited everybody in the village, you know, I 341 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: think everybody had had a hand in it. And you know, 342 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: even even when you with that said, when you're doing that, 343 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: it creates one on ones for foul or another guys 344 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: that just you know, rockers, they all take advantage of 345 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: their opportunities and they love having a teammate like Aaron Donald. 346 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: That's gonna every time you come to the line of experiments. 347 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: You have to identify him the quarterback. Everybody has to 348 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: identify him and make sure you give four hands and 349 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: four eyes on the guy prior to that game. Lap 350 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: we were standing on the pitch, as they would say, 351 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium and watched A J. Green go through 352 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: a pretty aggressive workout. I suspect he'll be back for 353 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: the next game against Baltimore. What do you think I 354 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: do too? I mean, I think so, And you know, 355 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a laundry list of guys 356 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: that might be able to come back. You know, when 357 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: you look at it, dark Quest and arms at the hamstring, 358 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe that's aggressive depending on the severity of the hamstring 359 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: and where it's pulled. The higher up at the hamstring, 360 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: the worst the issue is. So I'm not sure about that. 361 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: Draker Patrick with his knee, Carl Lawson with his hamstring, 362 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: John Miller with the groin. I mean, there's a there's 363 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: a few guys that you know might be able to 364 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: make their way back. So obviously the depth will be 365 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: significantly better down the stretch of start getting some of 366 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: these guys back, and uh, you know they're can Obviously 367 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: real good football players are the guys have probably played 368 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: snaps that they weren't expecting necessarily to play in the 369 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: positions that they're playing them in. But that's just going 370 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: to add to the overall depth of the football team 371 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: for the second half of the season and during the 372 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: bye week. Man, it's a two step process. You get 373 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: yourself physically right, you know, with treatment and rest, and 374 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: mentally right, you know, you got to get your mind 375 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: right to come back and turn it around in the 376 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: second half of the season and you can get some ws, 377 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: get some victories under their belts. The Bengals have had 378 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: five previous oh and eight starts in their history. On 379 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: four of the five previous times that happened, they won 380 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: game number nine, So we'll see if they can do 381 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: it this time around.

Is there something 503 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: that you are just terrible at that you couldn't met? 504 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: You know, I'm awful at that thing. Hitting the baseball, 505 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm good. I was good at like catching and all 506 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: that stuff. But hitting it, I don't know. I don't 507 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: think I ever hit it makes you feel any better? 508 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: I saw Lebron James take batting practice once when he 509 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: was still in Cleveland. He was terrible. Couldn't get it 510 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: out of the cage. Yeah, I was missing. At least 511 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: he hid it, all right. Final fun fact for Auden Tate. 512 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: Your Twitter handle is little Tate. You're not little. What's 513 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: the story behind the little Tate? I don't know. It's 514 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: a big contradiction consider I'm kind of a more bigger figure. 515 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, to be honest. A few people just 516 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: started like calling me that, and then like I just 517 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: kind of just stuck with it to be that's crazy 518 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: because it is like a big contradiction, but I just 519 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: rule with it. It's got to appreciate the irony. Yeah, 520 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. Thanks so much. Best of what 521 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: going forward.
