00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,600

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: playing without Joe Burrow, are double digit underdogs here in

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: Jacksonville floor. The last time the Bengals were this big

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: of an underdog on Monday Night football was December twenty first,

33
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. They were also missing Joe Burrow that night,

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: and Ryan Finley led Cincinnati to a stunning win over

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: the eleven and two Pittsburgh Steelers. Can the Bengals do

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: it again with Jake Browning at quarterback? We are about

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: to find out, and it is time for the big skin.

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: To fly here at EverBank Stadium.

39
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: Lawrence in the gun runs an option to the right,

40
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: pitches to Etn and he goes into the end.

41
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: Zone with ease.

42
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Jacksonville scores a touchdown on its opening drive. Chase goes

43
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: in orbit motion behind the QB. They give it to Mixon,

44
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: lowers the shoulder pads and with second effort he's into

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: the end zone.

46
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Touchdown Bengals.

47
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: As Jamar Chase went behind the quarterback Browning, drawing a

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: little bit of attention in that direction.

49
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Mixon ran left, took it into the end zone.

50
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Lawrence against the blitz, throws it quickly, caught by the tight.

51
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: End Ingram gets a downfield block.

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: Streaking toward the pylon, he launches himself into the end

53
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: zone for a Jacksonville touchdown.

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Shotgun snapped to Browning.

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Gets it to Mix and again he goes into the

56
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: end zone, standing up for his second touchdown here in

57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: the first half, Mix and takes a knee and poses

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: for the photographers in the back of the end zone.

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: As the Bengals have pulled within a pad. I'm tying

60
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: the score. Three receivers right, one out to the left.

61
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: Five man rush Browning throws it deep downfield for.

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Chase over the shoulder catch.

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: He's off three races at the twenty, the ten, and

64
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: he will back his way into the end zone for

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals touchdown. Baby Washington motions left to right, Lawrence

66
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: back to throw, looking left, throws it into the end

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 2: zone and it is deflected and cars Jermaine Pratt. He

68
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: had both hands on the ball. He dropped a potential interception.

69
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: It was hauled in by Jacksonville. On first and ten,

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: he throws it backward to Boyd. Boyd wants to throw downfield.

71
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: He's past intercepted by Josh Allen. Then he gets tackled

72
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: at the Cincinnati nine yard line.

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Wow, and they're going forward on fourth again.

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: Lookout for the Trevor Lawrence jump up and stick the

75
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: ball over the pile. Move did it last week against Houston.

76
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: Fourth and goal from the one, Lawrence under center. He

77
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: takes the snap, he sticks the ball out with his

78
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: right arm and it's a touchdown. Chase brown in at

79
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: running back Jake Browning under center on first and ten.

80
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: He gives it to the rookie from Illinois off to

81
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: the races to the forty, gets a downfield block from Higgins,

82
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: runs into Jaguars territory and finally gets shoved out of

83
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: bounds at the Jacksonville forty three by Tyson Campbell. Browning

84
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: is going to be under center double tight ends in

85
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: the game. Mixing is the running back. Chase goes in

86
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: motion behind Mixing quarterback sneak Browning surging forward and they

87
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: are not going to give it to him.

88
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think yet, at least I didn't think he

89
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: got the exchange real cleanly.

90
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: The touchdown a very late call, and Jake Browning got

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: the ball over the goal line for the touchdown. Lawrence

92
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: pump fakes and gets sacked by Trey Hendrickson. The ball

93
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: out Yeah, it is actually about two yards ahead, and

94
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: it looks like Jacksonville recovers, but that will force a

95
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: field goal try.

96
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: And Trevor Lawrence is down hurt. Yeah, and he's.

97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: Slamming his right hand into the ground and oh helmet

98
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: throws his helmet about ten yards up the field. Trey

99
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 2: Hendrickson takes his helmet off and it looks like Trevor

100
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: Lawrence has suffered a significant injury. The crowd trying to

101
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: be the twelfth man thick Pierson is set. The snap,

102
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: the placement, the swing of the right leg. It has

103
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: the distance. It is good. Evan McPherson from fifty four

104
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: yards away. Thirty one twenty eight Cincinnati leading Jacksonville, trying

105
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: to tie it with thirty seconds left in regulation. The

106
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: punter Logan Cook is the holder. Here comes the right

107
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: footed kick. It is good and we are tied. With

108
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: twenty six seconds left in regulation. Browning catches the shotgun, snap,

109
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: fakes to mix and looking.

110
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,920

Speaker 2: Yes, Chase Yeah, with the catch at the forty seven

112
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: for a first down. A juggling routine by Jamar and

113
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: he came to the ground with a football for a

114
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: first down. The play clock is at three two. They

115
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: snap it to Browning. He's back to throw. He fires

116
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: toward the side high caught Tee Higgins how of bounds

117
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: with a first down and a gain of eleven to

118
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: the forty two of Jacksonville. This will be a four

119
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: eight yard try to send Cincinnati home with an overtime

120
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: victory as a double digit underdog. Brad Robbins ready to hold,

121
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: cal Adamitas ready to snap. Adamitas fires it back. Robins

122
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: puts it down. The kick is on its way. It

123
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: is good. There's a penalty flag down.

124
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: Oh no, unsportsmanlike conduct on the defense, leaping penalties, decline

125
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: field goals good.

126
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: A forty eight yard field goal by Evan McPherson has

127
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: given Cincinnati a thirty four to thirty one overtime win.

128
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: The Bengals are still alive in the playoff chase. They're

129
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: back to five hundred and six and six, and today,

130
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: December fourth, twenty twenty three will forever be known as

131
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: the Jake Browning Game.

132
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: No doubt, I mean Jake Browning. He did himself a

133
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: lot of good. Nationally advised, he puts on a performance

134
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: like that. Jake Browning just bought himself a bunch of

135
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: years in the National Football League. Jake Browning did himself

136
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: a lot of good tonight.

137
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: Here are the final numbers for Jake Browning.

138
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: He completed thirty two of thirty seven passes, that's eighty

139
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: six percent for three hundred and fifty four yards, one touchdown,

140
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: no picks, had a passer rating of one point fifteen

141
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: point five. Jake also ran for twenty two yards had

142
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: a touchdown. It was a night he'll never forget and

143
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: Dave Lapham spoke to him in front of his locker.

144
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: You were an equal opportunity distributor of the football. I

145
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: mean you got like nine receivers involved in the action.

146
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 5: Is that part of your ball game?

147
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: I mean you look to distribute the ball everywhere you

148
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: possibly can.

149
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm just trying to throw to whoever's open.

150
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 6: So I think that's more credit to nine different guys

151
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: getting open on different plays. So you know, I've definitely

152
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 6: thrown to the whole chart throughout the years on Pea squad.

153
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 6: So you know, whenever someone gets thrown in there, I

154
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 6: probably got bank reps with them.

155
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: So as a football team, rushed for over one hundred

156
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 3: and fifty yards's that's that's pretty strong as well. Joe

157
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: Mixon had sixty eight yards on nineteen carries. Brown had

158
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: sixty one yards on nine carries, So one hundred and

159
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: twenty nine yards on twenty eight carries out of the

160
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: tailback position. That's pretty damn good.

161
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome.

162
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 6: I think that's that's huge for our offense to be

163
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 6: able to do that, and so makes it and played really,

164
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 6: you know, ran really hard like he always does. Chase

165
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 6: came in and provide a little bit of a spark

166
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 6: with some big explosive runs, and I aligned.

167
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: It a great job.

168
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 7: Tight Ends did a great job.

169
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 6: So anytime you run the ball like that, it's gonna

170
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 6: be a good day.

171
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase eleven cats is one hundred and forty nine yards.

172
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 3: That dude has the strongest hands I think I've ever

173
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: seen in the like vice groups. Yeah.

174
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's dangerous with the ball, which is always

175
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: nice too.

176
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: So did they do anything different defensively than you had anticipated?

177
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: Did they blitz at a higher level or percentage? Did

178
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: you have any get Did they give you any looks

179
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: on their third down packages that you weren't expecting? You

180
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: pretty much guys right on everything.

181
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I think they're always going to give you

182
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 6: looks that you're not prepared for. It's I mean, they

183
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 6: spend a whole week practicing and game planning two and

184
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 6: I really think the big difference is it kind of

185
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 6: all goes back to run game, and so you know,

186
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 6: I think going into the game, we thought they would

187
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 6: do something. Then we started running the ball really well.

188
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 6: And if you're on defense and we are gashing in

189
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 6: the run game, then you got to bring more people

190
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 6: into the box, and so I think that's really where

191
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 6: we're able to kind of get a rolling.

192
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: It was impressive. They scored fourteen points in a little

193
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: over two minute period. They're like two minutes and twenty

194
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: seconds where it was like, man, I mean, a lesser

195
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: team may have just folded on that. You guys showed

196
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: the resiliency and came storming back and win the game

197
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: ultimately in overtime. What's to say about the character of

198
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: this football team.

199
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it may seem surprising outside of

200
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 6: the locker room, but for me, I've been in this

201
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 6: locker room for going on three years now, and it's

202
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: not surprising. I think, you know, we had a tough

203
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 6: little stretch there and just responded well and made the

204
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 6: plays that we needed to and just kept battling. And

205
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 6: I think that's kind of the standard around here. I

206
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 6: don't even think anybody really flinches about that kind of stuff.

207
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,479
Speaker 3: So I know, you guys are all like one big fraternity.

208
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: At the quarterback position. Trevor Lawrence, who looked like it

209
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: was a tough situation. Your heart goes out to him,

210
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: doesn't it.

211
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's terrible he's been playing really well

212
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 6: obviously Jacksonville. You know, it has been a really good

213
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 6: team all season. I didn't really see what happened, but

214
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 6: anytime somebody goes down and you know, you feel for him.

215
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: Jake Browning, it was a heck of a show tonight,

216
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: man thirty four points, thirty four to thirty one in

217
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: a shootout down in Jacksonville. Playoffs still alive. We're not dead,

218
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: not dead by any stretch. Appreciate it.

219
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: The playoffs are still a long shot, but far from impossible.

220
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: If the Bengals win home games against the Colts, Vikings,

221
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: and Browns, who are all all missing their starting quarterbacks,

222
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: that would get them to nine wins. Then if they

223
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: beat either Pittsburgh or Kansas City on the road to

224
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: get to ten wins, they would have an eighty seven

225
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: percent chance of getting in. According to the New York

226
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: Times Playoff Machine, that game in Pittsburgh is three weeks away,

227
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: and Kenny Pickett suffered a high ankle sprain on Sunday.

228
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: It's very possible he will not be back in time.

229
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: If the Bengals play like they did in Jacksonville, a

230
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: four to one finish is possible. I spoke to Jonah

231
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: Williams about the significance of Monday's win and the performance

232
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: of his former high school teammate Jake Browning.

233
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 5: It feels great and it's I think it shows like

234
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: the belief that we have in this locker room. And

235
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: you know, after last week's game, I know a lot

236
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: of people were feeling down. A lot of people are

237
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 5: doubting us, and you know, I was saying, I think

238
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 5: everyone was saying, we still have a lot of faith.

239
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 5: We save a lot of leaving the guys in the room,

240
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: and we went out and beat a really really good

241
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 5: Jacksonville team on the road Monday night, and you know,

242
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 5: in a in a in a really big game. So

243
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 5: it was great for us.

244
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: Jonah, I'm calling this the Jake Browning Game. Thirty two

245
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: for thirty seven, three hundred and fifty four yards, a

246
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 2: touchdown pass and a touchdown run.

247
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: You've known him.

248
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Since you guys were kids. How excited are you for

249
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: him tonight?

250
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 5: So excited?

251
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 8: Man.

252
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: I know he's got it in him and it was

253
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: just awesome to see him go out there.

254
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,119
Speaker 3: He's in his element. He's comfortable.

255
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 5: And I said it when he was first gonna start

256
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 5: I'm like, the lights aren't going to be too big

257
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 5: for him, the moment's not going to be too big

258
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 5: for him.

259
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: He's just gonna go out and play football.

260
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 5: And that's what he did, and he did enough for

261
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: us to win, and you know, made some huge plays

262
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: down the stretch, So it was it was awesome seeing

263
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 5: him do that again.

264
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: I thought the offensive line play tonight was tremendous. Jake

265
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: was protected well obviously to go thirty two for thirty seven,

266
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: but you also ran for one fifty six and obviously

267
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: that was a big problem last week that you guys fixed.

268
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, I think that you know, we did a

269
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 5: great job in the run game and that opened up

270
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 5: a lot of stuff in the past game. You know,

271
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 5: all of our backs were running hard, and you know

272
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 5: we're able to build off of that. And when you're

273
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: not behind the sticks, when you're getting positive yards on

274
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: run plays, it takes a lot of pressure off everyone.

275
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: And you know, we were able to do that today

276
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: and we need to keep doing that for the rest

277
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 5: of the year.

278
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon had more than one hundred yards combined rushing

279
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: and receiving. But you guys also got a jolt from

280
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: Chase Brown and his sort of first significant action as

281
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: a rookie.

282
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Chase. He's one of the shiftiest guys

283
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 5: I've ever seen on the field, and you saw a

284
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: lot of that from him today, just making a cut

285
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 5: and his acceleration is great. So it was cool to

286
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: see that out of him, and I know there's gonna

287
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 5: be a lot more coming from him.

288
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: That was a fun game. Congratulations on the win, Thank

289
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: you well. Joe Burrow won't return this year. The Bengals

290
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: did have t Higgins back on the field after he

291
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: missed three games with a hamstring injury. T had modest

292
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: stats three catches for thirty six yards, but his presence

293
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: makes it harder for teams to do everything under the

294
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: sun to stop Jamar. Chase and Jamar had eleven catches

295
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: for one hundred and forty nine yards. Here's my conversation

296
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: with Higgins. Tee, I'm sure you had a lot of

297
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: confidence in Jake, but thirty two for thirty seven for

298
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: three point fifty plus and a touchdown passing a touchdown run.

299
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 4: What do you think of his performance?

300
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 9: Ye, boy had a hell of a game.

301
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: I can say that.

302
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 9: Y'all asked about his confidence all week and y'all just

303
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 9: seen it there, you know what I'm saying, So you

304
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 9: can ask nothing better than that.

305
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: He completed his first ten passes early on. Did you think, man,

306
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: this guy's on a roll?

307
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 10: Honestly?

308
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 9: You know, you and game, well, you ain't really thinking

309
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 9: of it like that. You just just having your team

310
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 9: and it's catching the ball. He making good, putting good,

311
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 9: got good ball placement, and man, we was just you know,

312
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 9: he was helping us and we was helping him.

313
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: Where'd you get the sense that he was really just

314
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: cooking a night?

315
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: Really?

316
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 9: When he came out second half through that deep ball

317
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 9: to Chase, I was like, oh yeah, he feeling good.

318
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.

319
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 9: It was a perfect ball and you know Chase was

320
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 9: able to make a play. And after that, you know

321
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 9: what I'm saying, he was just rolling.

322
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: You didn't have a ton of catches tonight, but the

323
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: ones that you had were big. What did it mean

324
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: to you to be back and contribute to an excited win?

325
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? Man?

326
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 9: Like I said earlier this week, man, you know all

327
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 9: I want to do is just help this team get

328
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 9: a W. And you know I was able to do

329
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 9: that today. You know it felt good, you know, just

330
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,280

333
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 9: get us that first down, put us in field goal range.

334
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 9: And then man, you know, Mix finished it off.

335
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: So eleven for Jamar. I overheard you say to Tyler, Man,

336
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: it didn't even seem like he had that much.

337
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, it definitely didn't. Didn't realize it until you said

338
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 9: something after the game.

339
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 10: I was like, man, for real?

340
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 9: Uh Then like you said, man that the seventy six

341
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 9: yard had definitely helped.

342
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

343
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 9: I didn't even you know, realize that. But man, you

344
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 9: had the hell of the game, you know, proud of

345
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 9: hitting a thousand yard mark, you know, for three seasons

346
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 9: in a row. You know, he's an elite receiver and

347
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 9: you know he's gonna continue to be great.

348
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: That many people thought the Bengals were going to win tonight,

349
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: cam here beating eight and three team at home.

350
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: How'd you do it? What's it mean?

351
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 9: We used to it, you know, we used to everybody

352
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 9: saying we're gonna We're not gonna pull it off. But man,

353
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 9: we just fought hard.

354
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: Man.

355
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 9: You know, the run game was real big tonight. Mix

356
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 9: ran the ball hard, you know, shouts out to him

357
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 9: in the old line. Man, It's just you know, they

358
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 9: they bought their bus office tonight, and I can't I

359
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 9: can't discredit you know, the receiver. It was out there

360
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 9: blocking on the perimeter as well. So he was just

361
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 9: all put it together. And you know when we all do,

362
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 9: when we do that and we compliment each other, man,

363
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 9: it's hard to beat us.

364
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: Joe had more than one hundred combined rushing receiving yards,

365
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: but Chase Brown gave you a lyft too with his burst.

366
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

367
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 9: Man, the first long run he had, I kinda was

368
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 9: looking back, you know, you know, kind of missed the

369
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 9: block in the corner, made the play. I was like,

370
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 9: my bad man, I got you next time, and he

371
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 9: had another one, and you know I was blocking the

372
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 9: corner all the way down the field, you know. So

373
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 9: it's like I told you, I got you. But man,

374
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 9: proud of him, you know, stepped up with big moments

375
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 9: and makes place.

376
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 4: Congrats on the windy.

377
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: Now, let's hear from head coach Zach Taylor, who spent

378
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: four minutes with Lap after the game.

379
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 7: I'm just really proud of the all round effort. This team.

380
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 11: Guys stepped up, made plays when he needed it, and

381
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 11: it feels good to get a win on Monday Night

382
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 11: football on the road against a really good opponent.

383
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 7: Just really proud of this team.

384
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Man.

385
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 3: How about Jake Browning thirty two for thirty seven, three

386
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty four yards. He had a twenty yard rush,

387
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: so he rushed well over twenty yards. I mean he operated,

388
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: ploys precision. I mean it was unbelievable to watch him.

389
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 11: He prepares, he puts in the work that he knows

390
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 11: he's got to put in to be prepared, and so

391
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 11: his confidence stems off of that.

392
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 7: What else can he do? You know, he's prepared for

393
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 7: every moment.

394
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 11: He knows what he's going to see, knows where guys

395
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 11: are going to be at, and he went out there

396
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 11: and executed it like.

397
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 7: We knew he could. And I think he's just a

398
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 7: really good moment for.

399
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 11: Him in the second NFL start up Monday night football

400
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 11: to go do that against a really good team.

401
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 7: Really proud of Jake.

402
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: You had a great game plan though, I mean you

403
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: got him out of pocket, he booted, was on the

404
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: run so well, used the screen, game, used everything I mean,

405
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: what didn't you run for over one hundred and fifty yards?

406
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it was. It was spectacular to watch. I mean,

407
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: put thirty four points on the board. Pretty good.

408
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 7: The trick plays didn't work so well, that's about.

409
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 4: That's about all it didn't.

410
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 7: You're right, I think we were over to on our

411
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 7: trick plays.

412
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 11: But you know, sometimes a game like this, you just

413
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 11: got to be aggressive and can't be afraid of what

414
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 11: the results going to be. It could be a negative result,

415
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 11: and it was, and our guys were able to overcome it.

416
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 11: And and so again it was. It was a really

417
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 11: good effort.

418
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 7: I thought the offensive line played really well tonight. They

419
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 7: protected him.

420
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 11: One of those sacks comes on a hot we can't

421
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 11: block him, you know, and we just gotta be able

422
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 11: to see that and get the ball out. But I

423
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 11: thought they did a great job open up some holes

424
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 11: for the running backs. DoD a great job protecting Jake

425
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 11: in the past game.

426
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the running game. I mean, how about

427
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: how about the contribution from Brown sixty one yards on

428
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: nine carries. He showed the explosiveness that you knew he had.

429
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: I mean he Joe Mixon sixty eight yards rushing forty

430
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: nine yards received. I mean, it was it was fun

431
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: to watch this offense perform tonight.

432
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 11: It was you know, when you're talking about the running backs,

433
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 11: I thought those guys really stepped up mixing. Had some

434
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 11: tough runs on the goal line that got us in

435
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 11: the end zone, tough third down run that got us

436
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 11: a third down there at the end of the game.

437
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 7: Chase gave us a nice spark.

438
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 11: You know, it's good to get another running back in

439
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 11: there and mix it up and different elements.

440
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 7: So really proudly, Justin Hill does a.

441
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 11: Great job with those guys, and I thought they executed

442
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 11: all to night.

443
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: Your offense. Uh though, your your game plan. I know

444
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: you're being you're being humble, but you had them kind

445
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: of on their heels and with your aggressiveness. Now, sometimes

446
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: it didn't work out, but I'd say a high high

447
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 3: percentage of the time to me you talked about and

448
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: I thought it was a great description. I asked you

449
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: about the Jaguars defense front. You said violent. I thought

450
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: you guys played with physicality and violence tonight big time.

451
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 7: Yeah.

452
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 11: Sometimes you're delivering a message to your on guys, you know,

453
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 11: and and they're ready to hear that and step up

454
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 11: and do what.

455
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 7: We need to do to win the game.

456
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 11: And again, just just really proud of offense, defense, special teams.

457
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 7: Guys. Guys did what need to do to get this win.

458
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 7: I'm really proud of him.

459
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: When they scored fourteen points in like a little over

460
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: two minute time. For two minutes and twenty seconds, whatever

461
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: it was, it could have it could have gotten ugly form,

462
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: but man, you guys showed the resiliency, I mean, bounce

463
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: right back and stay after it. I thought the team

464
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: showed a lot of character to night.

465
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, I didn't feel a lull from the team at all.

466
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 11: You know, we felt like we had the momentum going

467
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 11: into halftime. Offensive score, defense, gotta stop. Came out and

468
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 11: felt good coming out of the half, and then and

469
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 11: then there was a chance there for them to regain

470
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 11: the momentum.

471
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 7: Our guys didn't let them have it. Our guys responded

472
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 7: the right way and got us right back in the game.

473
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 3: Well, I know your mom was happy at the end

474
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: of the game when it was a tie and it

475
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: went't it to overtime, But I'm glad that you got

476
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: the win. And now it's two two and one. It's

477
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 3: even Steven and the in the Taylor family and what

478
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: a first family of football it is. Man, you guys

479
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: are you guys are do the game proud? No question,

480
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. I think that he did a great

481
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: job from what I could see too. And it's a shame.

482
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 3: I hope their quarterback's not hurt too bad. That's that

483
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 3: gives you a sick feeling to see all these quarterbacks

484
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 3: go down like that and uh, hopefully he's okay.

Speaker 2: Now time for the radio guys recap.

493
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: Lapp.

494
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: I think we both thought that Jake Browning was capable

495
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: of having a really good game, but I can't honestly

496
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 2: say that I thought he was capable of thirty two

497
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: for thirty seven for three point fifty plus, including a

498
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: bunch of really important clutch throws when they had to

499
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: have it.

500
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 3: He was unbelievably accurate. He showed confidence, he showed poise,

501
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: he showed leadership, brilliant decision making. I mean a quarterback rating,

502
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 3: a one fifteen point five seventy six yard touchdown pass.

503
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: I mean he rushed, rushed for one, through for one.

504
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: I mean it was it was a spectacular performance. I

505
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: think I think that Zach Taylor and the Bengals offensive

506
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: coaches put him in good situations. They did everything with him.

507
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 3: They ran the bootlegs, you know that the running game.

508
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: They stayed with it, and that paid dividends over one

509
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards. And he was talking about how

510
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 3: that opened things up for him, and Jake was effusive

511
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: in his praise. Obviously the offensive line. He said, you

512
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: know it started there, and you know, he said, there's

513
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: always things that you can think of after a game

514
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: that you wish you had back. But I mean, that

515
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: was that was just a spectacular performance. I mean, he

516
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 3: he he just changed the trajectory of his NFL career.

517
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's going to have a job for

518
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: a while somewhere, hopefully Cincinnati. But I mean he showed

519
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: that he can be somebody's, if not their starting quarterbacks

520
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 2: certainly a very viable number two.

521
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: Oh, no question. I mean it's you don't have guys

522
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 3: very often in their second NFL start throw for over

523
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty yards against a good defensive football

524
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: team at their place. I mean that's I thought though

525
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: the Ring game, it was a huge deal. This is

526
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: a team that came into the game fourth in the

527
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: NFL and rushing, and the Bengals doubled up the yards

528
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: that they've been given up during the course of the season.

529
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 3: They rushed for over one hundred and fifty yards. I

530
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: mean Joe Mixon, Joe Mixon had a hell of a

531
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: football game on the ground and caught the football well.

532
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: I thought he finished runs. I thought he ran really hard,

533
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 3: offensive line finished blocks. It was just and I think

534
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: the biggest thing was in that two minute and twenty

535
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: second stretch of adversity, nobody folded their tent. You know,

536
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: everybody showed resiliency and just kept working. And Zach during

537
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 3: the course of the week, I thought, had a great

538
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: comment about the Jaguars, a compliment comment about their defensive

539
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: front that they played violently. I thought the Bengals were

540
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: the more violent team tonight. I thought they they played

541
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: with energy, enthusiasm, physicality, and after.

542
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 2: It, Chase Brown was terrific. How much do you think

543
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: his pop adds to the offense A lot?

544
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 4: I really do.

545
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you know, he had he had

546
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: almost as many yards as Joe on less than half

547
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: the carriages. He had nine rushes for sixty one yards

548
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 3: six point eight per He had a thirty one yard rush.

549
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Brownie had a twenty one yard rush himself. Joe Mixon

550
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: had an eighteen yard rush and two physical touchdown runs.

551
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought the running game, you know, helped everything.

552
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: I think the offensive line felt real good about the

553
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: way they were handling things at the line of scrimmage

554
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 3: at that point.

555
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase was spectacular as well, eleven catches for more

556
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: than one hundred and forty yards, including that seventy six

557
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 2: yard TD. It is amazing how little is required in

558
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: getting him the ball for him to potentially make something

559
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: big happens.

560
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 3: He's a threat every single time he gets his hands

561
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: on the football, threat of breaking the tackle and gaining

562
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: huge yards after that contact or that catch or taken

563
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: it to the house. We've seen him do it, you know,

564
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: multiple times. It's almost like you're surprised when it doesn't

565
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: happen because you start to take it for granted. He

566
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 3: does it so regularly, it's like, you know, when's it

567
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: gonna happen, when's gonna happen. I know it's gonna happen,

568
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: and ultimately it does. I mean, book it. Every year

569
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 3: eighty plus catches a thousand plus yards. I mean, he

570
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 3: is a machine.

571
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: It's funny how football works sometimes. Last week, the Bengals

572
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: defense gave up sixteen points and it felt like a

573
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: bad performance. Tonight they gave up thirty one, but it

574
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: felt like a good performance because when they needed to stop,

575
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: they got some.

576
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: That's true, and you know it's they get put in

577
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: bad spots. You know, a couple of times, I'm sure

578
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 3: that they felt like even you know, with the turnover

579
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: that Tyler Boyd have with the interception, they feel like,

580
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 3: you know, a kind I gotta go out there and

581
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: limit it to nothing more than a field goal opportunity

582
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 3: and play complimentary football. But I mean there's a there's

583
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 3: a million levels of complimentary football, and I thought the

584
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: offense played complimentary football win itself for the first time.

585
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: You know, the balance was obvious when you rush for

586
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: over one hundred and fifty and throw it for over

587
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty, you know you're you're playing complimentary football,

588
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: There's no question.

589
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 2: So prior to last week's again game against Pittsburgh, we

590
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: talked about how they'd probably need to win five games,

591
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: and the formula was kind of win the home games,

592
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: maybe steal a road winning Pittsburgh. Well, this is a

593
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: game you didn't think they would win, and they did,

594
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: so they've at least put themselves back into kind of

595
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: a mathematical chance of if they could you know, take

596
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 2: care of business at home and steal one more road game,

597
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: they got a.

598
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: Shot, absolutely, you know, and Indianapolis comes to town and

599
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: they're they're playoff alive. They're there right now. If the

600
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: playoffs were to start today, they'd be in. And that's

601
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: the case with every team remaining just about so they're

602
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: going to have their opportunities. And I just thought that

603
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: it was a great tonight.

604
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 4: Again.

605
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: You're on the road, national television, the crowd's going crazy,

606
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: You've had diversity hit fourteen points in a little over

607
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 3: two minutes, and you stand up and and you do

608
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 3: something about it instead of, you know, saying it's not

609
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 3: our night. You made sure it was your night. You

610
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: went and took it. And I think I think that's

611
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 3: both volumes. I think that this football team has has

612
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 3: the mental toughness and the physical toughness to get something done.

613
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: Feel terrible for Jacksonville fans and for Trevor Lawrence obviously

614
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 2: to see him go down like that when they're having

615
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: a special season, and we know how it feels with

616
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow getting hurt a couple of weeks ago, but

617
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: that doesn't make it any easier.

618
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: You're right, Dan, I mean, your your heart goes out

619
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: to the guy, and you know, and he's he's so

620
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: much fun to watch. I mean, he's a special talent,

621
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: just like number nine. Joe Burrow is a special talent.

622
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: This guy is a is a unique talent himself. And

623
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 3: the NFL is what it is because of these kind

624
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: of guys. And you know, it's a brutal blow. You

625
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: just hate to see a guy react like he reacted.

626
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's just an ankle sprain. You know, no announcement

627
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: at this point in time, but if it is an

628
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: ankle sprain, it looked like it was a pretty severe one.

629
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: That was one freaking fun game.

630
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: It was entertaining, wasn't it. I think I think it

631
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: was the most ties there's been in an NFL game

632
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: this year. I think there were five, maybe six ties,

633
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: and I think I heard where that might be the

634
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,239
Speaker 3: most of any NFL game this season. And for it

635
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 3: to happen on Monday night football with the Cincinnati Bengals

636
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: is one of the participants.

637
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 5: A is cool.

638
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: Let's get on a plane of golf.

00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: wins have been against Carolina, New England, Tampa Bay, and Tennessee,

00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: black Hawks games, anything like that as a kid.

660
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, we went to more Socks games when I was

661
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 8: a kid than anything. But you know, we went to

662
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 8: Bulls games, Blackhawks games, which are always fun, especially you

663
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 8: know when we're playing.

664
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, any memorable games that you attended in any of

665
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: those sports.

666
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 8: I don't think I went to any like crazy big game.

667
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 8: I didn't go to these games, but like when when

668
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 8: the Blackhawks were in the Stanley Cup, that was always

669
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 8: a crazy time. And I was in high school during

670
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 8: that time, and we, uh, you know, we took school

671
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 8: off to go to the parade and everything. So when

672
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 8: Chicago sports are playing, well, it's it's fun down there.

673
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: We're doing fun facts with Charlie Jones. You mentioned your family.

674
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: I've read that you have the Roman numeral eight yes,

675
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: tattooed on you as significance to your family.

676
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 4: Explain that.

677
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, so there's eight of us, you know, Mom, Dad,

678
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 8: and I have five siblings and one of six. I

679
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 8: just kind of it was my brother's idea. I tried

680
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 8: to convince everyone to get the tattoo. Right now, my me,

681
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 8: my brother, and my youngest sister have it.

682
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 10: We're trying to we're trying to make everyone get it.

683
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 8: One of my sisters has a necklace of it, so

684
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 8: not everyone has it yet. But basically for us, it

685
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 8: was just, you know, family's been through a lot, you know,

686
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 8: as families do, and uh, you know, whatever happens, we're

687
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 8: all together through everything. So I wanted to get you know,

688
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 8: eight to symbolize just you know, all of us together.

689
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: You had an excellent high school football career, but you

690
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: played for a team that ran the triple option. How

691
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: much did that impact your recruiting?

692
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think a lot.

693
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 8: It's hard to show what you can do as a

694
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 8: receiver in an offense like that.

695
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 10: You know, I still I still got some touches.

696
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 8: You know, in the run game, and and could show

697
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 8: what I could do as a receiver kind of as

698
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 8: a dB just just you know, the way I may

699
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 8: play plays on the on the ball and you know,

700
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 8: just kind of that way, and then I returned kicks

701
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 8: and punts. So just trying to find way is to

702
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 8: show that you know, I'm a player and you know

703
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 8: I can be a receiver. But yeah, you know, it's

704
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 8: not it's not easy when you catch. You know, I

705
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 8: think my junior year I had like tang catches. My

706
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 8: senior year I had like twenty or something like that.

707
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 10: So it's not easy.

708
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 8: But you know, I knew if I just went out

709
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 8: there and did everything I possibly could, someone's gonna take me.

710
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: What's it a dream to go to Notre Dame?

711
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 10: It was, Yeah, that was my school forever.

712
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 8: My family, you know, love Notre Dame, and you know,

713
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 8: coming out of high school was not an option. Later

714
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 8: on it was an option, but you know, obviously I

715
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 8: didn't end up going there.

716
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: You ultimately chose to go to the University of Buffalo.

717
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: He stayed for a couple of years, then decided to

718
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: transfer to Iowa and had to initially walk on at

719
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: Iowa before getting a scholarship there. How difficult was that decision?

720
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 8: Oh, I mean, at the time, it was the hardest

721
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 8: decision I've ever had to make. Really really took a

722
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 8: lot of thinking out talking it through with my family.

723
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 8: I felt like every day I was kind of you know,

724
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 8: talking to my dad and my brothers and sisters and

725
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 8: my mom. But you know, I really believe that I

726
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 8: could play against the best every week. And you know,

727
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 8: I knew that making a move like going to the

728
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 8: Big ten would would give me that opportunity.

729
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 10: And you know, I was coming off surgery.

730
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 8: Nobody had a scholarship for me, so I was like,

731
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 8: if I'm gonna walk on, I'm gonna walk on somewhere

732
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 8: that has a tradition of walk ons, which was which

733
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 8: was Iowa. And it was tough because, I mean I

734
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 8: left a scholarship and now now my family had to

735
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 8: had to pay for school, which is difficult when you

736
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 8: know you're you're you know that other people are gonna,

737
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 8: you know, be affected by your decision. But everyone was

738
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 8: super supportive and amazing for the whole thing, so it

739
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 8: made it a little bit easier for me.

740
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: We're visiting with Charlie Jones. Iowa doesn't run the triple option,

741
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: but it's not exactly a prolific passing to and so

742
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: for your final college season, you transferred to Purdue and

743
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: in your first game for the Boiler makers. You had

744
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 2: twelve catches for one hundred and fifty three yards against

745
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: Penn State. Can you describe what that game meant to you?

746
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 10: Yeah? It was. It was crazy.

747
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 8: I mean, making another big decision to transfer again with

748
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 8: only one season left was another really difficult.

749
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 10: Thing for me and my family.

750
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 8: You know, I could have It was a lot different

751
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 8: when I was coming out of Buffalo than when I

752
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 8: was leaving Iowa. I had a lot more to choose

753
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 8: from and really made a decision based on where I'm

754
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 8: gonna be most successful. And I knew the quarterback growing

755
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 8: up there and so so to put everything on the

756
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 8: table again and just bet on myself, and then to

757
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 8: come in summer camp, you know, I didn't really know

758
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 8: what was going to really happen. It's not like I

759
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 8: knew I was, I mean me personally, but I mean

760
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 8: it couldn't really tell. I was still learning the system.

761
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 8: And then to come in and have a first game

762
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 8: like that. I remember we got back to the to

763
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 8: the locker room to do media and my friend Aiden,

764
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 8: the quarterback, kind of slid the paper over the stat

765
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 8: sheet over to me and just pointed at he threw

766
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 8: me the ball nineteen times that day. So it was awesome.

767
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 8: It was a good feeling. I knew that we were

768
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 8: gonna have a special year.

769
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: That connection with quarterback Aid and O'Connell's amazing because you

770
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 2: guys went back to like second or third grade, right.

771
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, we started in third grade.

772
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you know, I've known him a long time

773
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 8: and you know, to see him, you know, he's got

774
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 8: a great journey as well.

775
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 10: He walked on at Purdue and you know, stuck it out.

776
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 8: And see him succeed and now he's playing, you know,

777
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 8: at the highest level and he's doing well.

778
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 10: So I'm really happy to see him do that.

779
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: He's in the NFL with the Raiders, and you are

780
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 2: obviously in the NFL with the Bengals. You were selected

781
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: in the fourth round of this year's draft. Describe your

782
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: draft experience.

783
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 10: It was it was a roller coaster.

784
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, try to try to do everything

785
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 8: I possibly could to help myself. You know, that started

786
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 8: right after my season with with the way I trained,

787
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 8: and then you know, the way I prepared for the

788
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 8: Combine and and how I went through my business, and

789
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 8: then after that, I mean, it's out of your control, really,

790
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 8: it's in It's in God's hands and you know, he

791
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 8: he he was always He's always looking out for me

792
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 8: and put me in a perfect situation. But it's stressful

793
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 8: and it's you know, you never know what can happen.

794
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 8: And I remember, you know, just being with my family

795
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 8: and on the second day, not really knowing what was

796
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 8: gonna happen. And I didn't go the second day, and

797
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 8: then all my family and friends were there for the

798
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 8: third day. So it was a really special moment to

799
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 8: be with the people that had been with me this

800
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 8: whole journey. It was definitely really cool and something I

801
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 8: obviously remember forever.

802
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: You led the nation and receptions it do with one

803
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 2: more than Tank Dell, who's having a great rookie year

804
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 2: with the Houston Texans, and you acquired the nickname Chuck Sizzle.

805
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 2: Tell us the origin story of Chuck Sizzle.

806
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, that actually started in that that first Penn State game.

807
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 8: Gus Johnson, you know, gave me that one mess he does,

808
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 8: and no, it was I really didn't hear about it

809
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 8: until you know, the next day, a couple of my

810
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 8: friends were texting me. I really didn't know what they

811
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 8: were talking about, and then people had told me, and

812
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 8: then slowly it just kind of got bigger, uh, and

813
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 8: it started catching on, and you know, they made some

814
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 8: T shirts and it kind of just really grew. And

815
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 8: I wasn't sure if it was going to stick, you know,

816
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 8: into the NFL, and it seems to seems to be

817
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 8: sticking a little bit.

818
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 10: So I like it. I like it a lot. I

819
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 10: think it's cool. It's a little bit different, but it

820
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 10: is cool.

821
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: I assume friends and family have purchased a lot of

822
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 2: Chuck Sizzle merchandise. Do they have your blessing to wear

823
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: it in public?

824
00:38:59,480 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

825
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 8: No, I mean when I was in at Purdue, everyone

826
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 8: had the Chuck Stizzele shirts and every once in a

827
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 8: while see someone wearing it, or back home someone sees

828
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 8: someone else wearing.

829
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 10: It, they'll sell me a picture.

830
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 8: No, But I mean, as everything throughout my whole career,

831
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 8: they've been super supportive and and whenever they can, they're

832
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 8: gonna they're gonna put it on.

833
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 4: All right.

834
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 2: A few wild card topics now for Charlie Jones. Who

835
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: is your all time favorite athlete in any sport?

836
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 4: And why?

837
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 10: Probably Devin Hester.

838
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 8: I mean, being like growing up in Chicago, like at

839
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 8: that time, watching Devin Hester, everybody like was a Hester

840
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 8: fan and and everyone had you know, Hester jerseys, and

841
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 8: whenever he was playing, you know, on fourth down, people

842
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 8: were locked in watching the game. So I think that's

843
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 8: kind of where my love for the pumper turn game started.

844
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 8: And just just watching someone do something that well at

845
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 8: such a high level and do it consistently, it was

846
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 8: cool to see.

847
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 4: Do you have a talent that not many people know about?

848
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 5: Man?

849
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 10: I wish? I wish.

850
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 8: I used to play the piano. My parents made me

851
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 8: play the piano when I was younger.

852
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 10: Hated it.

853
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 8: Should have stuck with it, though, because I got I

854
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 8: got nothing.

855
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 10: Really I can juggle.

856
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 4: I don't know if that counts how many objects?

857
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 10: Just three?

858
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 8: Just three? Tennis ball? Yeah, I don't know if I could.

859
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 8: I see her doing the football is on the sideline.

860
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 10: I don't know if I could do.

861
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: That, all right, limited piano playing skills and juggling, those

862
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 2: are both good skills to have. Being from the Chicago area.

863
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: What is your favorite Chicago food and where do you

864
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 2: go to get it?

865
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 8: I don't really eat this way that much anymore, but

866
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 8: a lot of people would say Luma Natties, But I'm

867
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 8: I'm a Barnaby's guy.

868
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 4: We're talking deep dish pizza.

869
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 10: This is thin crust.

870
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, Luminais is deep dish, but yeah, I don't

871
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 8: really like the deep dish like that. I'd prefer a

872
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 8: thin crust. But I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty simple when

873
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 8: it comes to that. Well, I pretty much eat the

874
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 8: same thing every day. But if I were to do that,

875
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 8: it'd probably be Barnaby's, Yeah, or maybe Italian I don't

876
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 8: know one or the other.

877
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: All right, final thing for Charlie Jones, this is kind

878
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: of deep. If you could meet anybody in history, living

879
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: or deceased, who would that person be?

880
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 10: Maybe maybe Michael Jordan.

881
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 8: I mean, I think that'd be That'd be crazy to

882
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 8: sit down with him and just let him talk about,

883
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 8: you know, things that he's done over the years and

884
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 8: just kind of just listen to to everything that he

885
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 8: has to say. Again, being you know, someone from Chicago,

886
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 8: I think that'd be.

887
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 10: That'd be really cool.

888
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: You're off the hot seat. I appreciate your time. Best

889
