15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: the greatest thing since New New York City Bagels. Because

16
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: of the UC football schedule, I had to fly to

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey at the crack of dawn on Sunday. I

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: headed to the airport at five am without eating anything

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: and by the time I landed in Newark around eight thirty,

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: I was famished. So I stopped at a bagel shop

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: in the airport. Why is it that bagels in the

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: New York City area are so superior to the rest

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: of the world. My bagel tasted like it was right

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: out of the oven, and it was the size of

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: a truck tire. There are bagel shops in Cincinnati that

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: I really like, but nobody doze it. Better get it

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: then the bagel geniuses in the Big Apple. Now let's

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: get to Sunday's game. For the past few years, when

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals have won the coin toss, they have deferred,

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: and there's a simple reason to do so. It gives

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: you the chance to get back to back scores without

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: the other team getting the ball, if you can score

33
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the second quarter and score again

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: to begin in the third. But the Bengals offense has

35
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: been so anemic in the first half this year that

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Ted Carriss, who joined Joe Burrow as a captain this week,

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: was told that if he won the toss, the Bengals

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: would take the ball. You know, we hadn't had the

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: lead yet in the whole seat in two games, so

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: you know that was my orders to do. I'm glad

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: I won the toss. Tales never fails. Here we go

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: and the Bengals started the game in attack mode. Is

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: Burrow through ten passes on an eleven play opening drive,

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: a four yard touchdown pass the Tyler Boyd was wiped

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: out by a holding penalty, but that didn't kill the drive.

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Burrow drops back to throw, looking back, pedaling, stepping left,

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: scrambling left, still looking to throw his pass, caught at

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: the goal line. Touchdowns Saba JP Ryan God opened his

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 1: Burrow scrambled, he caught it right at the goal line

50
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and the Bengal score. It was seven nothing Bengals before

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: the Jets got the ball. Here are Joe Burrow and

52
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Lael Collins on the decision to begin the game on offense.

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good call obviously, you know

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: we put seven on the board on the first drive,

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: but if you if you go three and out, it's

56
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: a different conversation. So we came out aggressive and then

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: paid off for us. Yeah, I think we got to

58
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: take the ball every week to start the game off,

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: no matter what. That where we start ahead, we let

60
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: our defense you know, play with the lead all game,

61
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's how we're gonna dominate opponents for

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So was that Was that

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: a decision that kind of like everybody and the team's like, look,

64
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: we went in the coin toss, let's take the football man,

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: let's get after it. That's the mindset that's out of two,

66
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, the physical attack offense. And that's what we

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: did from the jump, and that's what we're gonna do

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: from here on up. The Jets answered with a field

69
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: goal to make it seven three, and the Bengals gave

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: them the ball right back first and ten Burrow wants

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: to throw again, his pass caught by Chase at the

72
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: forty oh He has the ball stripped away and the

73
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Jets recover it at the forty three yard line. That

74
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: led to another field goal that made it seven six.

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: But on Cincinnati's next drive, Jets defensive lineman John Franklin

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Myers was called for unnecessary roughness for a hit on

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Burrow when the Bengals otherwise would have had to punt.

78
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: That proved to be an egregious mistake. Burrow back to

79
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: throw blitz coming throws over the mid caught by Tyler

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Boyd two defenders sprinting down the middle of the field

81
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: of the twenty ten lunches for the end zone touchdown.

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Night singals on the final play of the corner as

83
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd pinballed off two defenders and took it to

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: the house for the score and the Bengals make the

85
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Jets pay all out blitz running route to the middle

86
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: of the football field, Tyler Boyd says, I'm not only

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna make the catch, I'm gonna break a tackle. I mean,

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: the Jets brought seven or eight, they brought the house

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: that gave the Bengals of fourteen to six lead at

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter. As Boyd finished with

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: four catches for one hundred five yards, the first time

92
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: he's led the team in receiving yards in the bengals

93
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: last ten games. You know, any one of us can

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: go off. You know, he's got to do. Our sammis

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: is just let My motto is always just let it come.

96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Just let it come, you know. And when a ball

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: on my way and I can make the play, I'm

98
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna always make it. Te Higgins also had a big

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: day with ninety three yards on five catches. First and

100
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: ten Bengals at the twenty five, Burrow takes a hand

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: off to Mixon. He's gonna fling it deep again. Tee

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: makes the catch. Penalty flags down as Higgins went up

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: and over Sauce Gardner to catch it and te Higgalmet

104
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: is now getting up. That's a helmet your helmet hit,

105
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: that's what the penalty flags for. That forty five yard

106
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: catch and fifteen yard penalty led to a short Evan

107
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: McPherson field goal that made it seventeen six, and when

108
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: the Jets got the ball back, the Bengals immediately took

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: it away. Hilton, coming on a slot corner blitz deep

110
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: frog down the middle of the field, intercepted by Logan

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Wilson running back to the near sideline at the fifty

112
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: gets a block from Hilton at the fort he's at

113
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: the third, comes back to the twenty, louse of the

114
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: ball and there's a scramble at the twenty five. Von

115
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: Bell saying that the Bengals recovered and it looks like

116
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: Cincinnati did Trey Flowers with the recovery. It led to

117
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: another Moneymac field goal and a twenty to six lead.

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: The Jets ended the half with a fifty two yard

119
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: field goal to make it twenty to nine. The Bengals

120
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: were in the lead for the last twenty four and

121
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: a half minutes of the half, and Burrows says, that

122
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: is a much easier way to play. That's ideal, right,

123
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Then you can run the ball, you can play action,

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: you can run your nakeds. You're not just dropping back

125
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: every play, So those I mean, that's critical going forward

126
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: for the rest of the years. Just coming out fast,

127
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: putting points on the board, staying close. Now you're not

128
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: in two minutes the whole game, and that puts offensive

129
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: line in better positions. It makes it easier to call plays,

130
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: So that was that was critical. Any thoughts of a

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Jets come back in the second half were thwarted by

132
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson hips Flacco from behind. He's got his

133
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: second sack of the game. The ball came out and

134
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: the Bengals recover a strip sack b J Hill recovered

135
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: at the Jets twenty four and four plays later, the

136
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: lead grew to eighteen. Burrow, clapping his hands, catches the staff,

137
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: pup fakes throws, caught Chase with the catch. Burrow belted

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: after the throw HiT's a touchdown for Cincinnati. Burrow threw

139
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: for two hundred and seventy five yards with three touchdowns,

140
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: no picks, and a passer rating of one fourteen point nine.

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: He was only sacked twice. Here's Ted Carris classic Joey

142
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: b game throne at deep shots and our receivers made

143
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: big plays. So very proud of all the guys. It

144
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: was a team effort. Obviously, our defense played great, and

145
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: you know that's just an all around team win. Greg's

146
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Airline's fourth field goal of the game, made at twenty

147
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: seven to twelve going to the fourth quarter. The Jets

148
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: got the ball two more times and the Bengals defense

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: took it away. Flaco as ready extends the hands, catches

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: the shotgun, stacks Gregson's got a hen. The Bengals will

151
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: sack Flaco. Look like the ball came out again because

152
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: of the rush by Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson was credited with

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: two and a half sacks and three forced fumbles. Comes

154
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: with the game to football. I mean, it's a twenty

155
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: two man game, and you know, when you're playing football,

156
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: you're playing for your brothers next to you. It's not

157
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: all about the statistics, I know they'll come. We just

158
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: play hard up front. We rushed the passer effectively, and

159
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's just keep chopping wood. I'm not really

160
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: looking at stats and all that stuff. I mean, we

161
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: had two losses and those of the things that were

162
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: important to me, and it meant a lot that we

163
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: got this win. Since Trey doesn't like to toot his

164
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: own horn, let's hear from Logan Wilson. I just can

165
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: see it in his eyes throughout the whole week in preparation.

166
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: It was just he was his time. He was just

167
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: dude for one of his Trey hendrickson days, and today

168
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: was that day. Appropriately, the final nail in the coffin

169
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: was provided by the Bengals defense. Sixty two seconds Tremaine,

170
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: fourth down and one for the Jets. Flacco catches the

171
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: shotgun staff he fires over the middle, let's pat it

172
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: up in the air, is intercepted, and that for the

173
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: first time this year is coffin DALs. I am Jesse

174
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: Bass with the i NTE. The final score twenty seven

175
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: to twelve. Once again, here's Ted Carriss. So you get

176
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: the taste of victory. Man, It's all we worked for.

177
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: It's a culmination of a lot of hard work, um,

178
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: a lot of just a lot of guys making plays today.

179
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: I thought we handled the game plan the right way

180
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: and we got a quick turnaround here, and you know,

181
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: we have a chance to even it up after a

182
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: rough start and get back on track against the team

183
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: that's rolling. So we're excited, we're ready to go. You know,

184
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: there's some things to clean up still in the game.

185
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: I thought we played played pretty good against a really

186
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: good defensive front, and that's just about as good as

187
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: the D line gets in the NFL interior wise. So

188
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: I thought we held up pretty solidum. But let's go

189
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: up next the Thursday night home game against the three

190
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: and oh Miami Dolphins, who beat everybody's Super Bowl favorite

191
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo on Sunday. I spent a few minutes with Jesse

192
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,080

199
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: Jets without a touchdown, four field goals, you had four takeaways.

200
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: What about the performance of the defense, how would you

201
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: describe it today? Obviously, when a team doesn't score a

202
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: touchdown on you, that's always good. But the main thing

203
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: that is a positive for us, we got turnovers. We

204
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: wanted to turnover battle, and like I said, I think

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: we play a really good defense. The past three weeks

206
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: of being able to create some turnovers. You had our

207
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: offense to ball. I thought we did a really good job.

208
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: And then also, you know, just with our pass rushers

209
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: finally getting on you know, you got got three sacks

210
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: and then we get interceptions. You know that that kind

211
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: of comes along with playing complimentary football on defense. So

212
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: as our rushers continue to get free and get home,

213
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: there will be more opportunities for us, you know, safeties, corners,

214
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: nicols like everybody to get interceptions. We just got to

215
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: capitalize on it. So and an interception for you today

216
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: along with Logan Wilson says, congratulations on that. How important

217
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: was the opening drive winning the toss taking the ball

218
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: which is unusual going down the field to score. How

219
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: important was that to set it telling today? Yeah, it

220
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: was the message throughout the whole week, starting practice fast

221
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: and then starting the game fast as well. So it

222
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: was a mindset that coach Taylor did a really good job.

223
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: He had a plan this week or what we're gonna

224
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: come in here and do. There was a lot of

225
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: commentary during the week along the lines of don't panic practice, Well,

226
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: do what we do now that you've followed that and

227
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: come away with a win? Is that kind of the mood? Now?

228
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: All right, we take we've taken care of business. That's one.

229
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: Anytime you get a win a good um. And we

230
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: got the first one out the way, and you know,

231
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: now it's just just gonna have to keep keep going.

232
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: We got a game him four days, four or five days,

233
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: UM against a really good team that's three and oh,

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: so it'll be a great challenge for us, and I

235
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: think it would be ready to prove not to ourselves,

236
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: but you know the whole world what we're about in

237
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: this locker room. So there was never no panic or

238
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: no question about who we were in this locker room

239
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: before we got this first one. You know, the ones

240
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: that we're gonna get in the future. So I just

241
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: gotta continue to practice hard and um execute our offense

242
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: and defensive special team. So final thing following up on

243
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson, did you think this was coming? He didn't

244
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: have a sack coming in three well, two and a

245
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: half sacks and three force fumbles today. You know, Trey,

246
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: he's a maniac. I always call him maniac, and I'm

247
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: just happy to see him get going. I think last

248
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: year he had a sack almost every game, so he

249
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of made up for it today with you know,

250
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: getting two and a half three So, um, I just

251
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: love seeing him, you know, get back there and then

252
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: do it a little celebration, uh, and then for him

253
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: to get two and a half today was great. So

254
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: he's a hardworking man, great person, so I'm not surprised

255
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: um by him continue to do well. Um getting back

256
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: to their quarterback. So congrats down the I NT more importantly,

257
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: congrats down the win. Absolutely appreciate that. That's Jesse Bates.

258
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: No time to hear from head coach Zach Taylor. He

259
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: spent three minutes with Dave Lapham after the game, gratulations.

260
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: Big win, win by two scores in the NFL not

261
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: an easy task now, winning winnings. Winning's difficult in this league,

262
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: especially on the road against the team we got a

263
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: lot of respect for Um. They got his last year.

264
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: So I thought, our guys really did a good job

265
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: answering the bell creens some momentum for ourselves. We just

266
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: needed to rip that band aid off for a first win.

267
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: And and I thought of the guys that are really

268
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: nice up today. Guys are obviously excited about it. I

269
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: mean that music's um, it's hopping out there, a coach,

270
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: it's a it's a little party atmosphere out there, and

271
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: well deserved because you know, you're in both football games.

272
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean the NFL, like you said, it's a it's

273
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: a tough, tough dynamic. I thought, complimentary football today. Defense

274
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: take it away, short field, offense score touchdowns, agreed, you know,

275
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: and especially to start the game, their offense got the ball,

276
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: went down, scored, so the defense can play with the

277
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: first lead of the year. Start the second half. We

278
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: challenged the defense find us another turnover. They did, offense

279
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: punch it in with points. So those moments right there

280
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: were key in this game. And uh, and it's always

281
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: good for the defense in the in the game with

282
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: the turnover. You know, the offense started to drive that

283
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: everyone's getting worn out. For Jesse to come up with

284
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: that pick is a big deal. So third down, you

285
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: normally convert on third down. It was third and long

286
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: in some situation you just score touchdowns on those big

287
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: third down conversions. How big was that? Yeah, it's a

288
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: big deal. You know, that's TV stepping up making a

289
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: big play for us. And again it's it's he's always

290
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's we can count on when a moment's

291
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: big and we need a big bill, we know TV

292
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be the one to step up and be

293
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: capable of doing that. So for him to knowly make

294
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: that catch on a great route, but to finish the

295
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: playoff was something that really gave us a huge boost

296
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: right there. I thought a good sign was at the

297
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: end of the football game, as a formal linement, you

298
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: going with big bodies, you get six linemen out there

299
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: and you're just you know, not trying to surprise anybody

300
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: about anything. You're just going and pounding people and you're

301
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of beating into submission and just letting the clock

302
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: wine down. That was a good thing to see. Yeah,

303
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: it was that's how you wanted into game, you know,

304
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: and you know, unfortunately we got to execute the kick

305
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: to finish off that drive and really put that game away.

306
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: But I thought our guys up front, we're starting to

307
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: starting to feel the momentum there and getting some good

308
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: push and some Ajo was doing a good job finishing

309
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: it as he subbed in there for Joe, So I

310
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: thought that was a really good way to end it

311
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: for the offense. Trey Hendrickson came up large. I mean,

312
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: I think he forced three fumbles himself, had two and

313
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: a half sacks and three forced fumbles on the day.

314
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: I think it was a crazy day. Great job by him.

315
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's he's been close, you know, so many

316
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: times the last two games. And for him to create

317
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: the two three tournivers that he did and BJ cleaning

318
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: up two of them is big that we get that

319
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: from the defensive line and the other team's quarterback field,

320
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: they can feel that guy bringing it on his neck

321
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: and it affects their play. So yeah, I thought Joe

322
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was throwing off his back foot a lot today.

323
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't think he really had time to

324
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: step into his throws and you know, kind of complete

325
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the mechanics of his throw. I thought the pressure was

326
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: pretty significant all day long. They did a good job,

327
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, a couple more sacks that were closed where

328
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: he got the ball out the last second kind of

329
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: spiked in the ground there. So I thought that our

330
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: defense really did a nice job holding them to four

331
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: fueld goals, two of them started in our territory. I

332
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: thought it was exceptional performance by those guys. They didn't

333
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: take a red zone snap until the very end of

334
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: the football game and still ended up, you know, settling

335
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: for a fuel goal. So I think up until that

336
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: point the deepest penetration that Jets had was the twenty

337
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: five yard line. I mean, when they had to the

338
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: defense just bowed up. Yeah, they've really done that for

339
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: three weeks now. They've played really well. We're going to

340
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: need that to continue. Appreciate you congratulations on a big dub.

341

345
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: Thursday night, and the Ravens won in New England on Sunday,

346
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: so after three weeks, Baltimore and Cleveland are tied for

347
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: first at two and one. The Bengals and Steelers are

348
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: a game back at one and two. Now time for

349
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: postgame analysis and this week's Radio Guys recap. The Bengals

350
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: get a badly needed victory by fifteen points in New York.

351
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: The offense set the tone today by winning the toss,

352
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: taking the ball, and marching seventy five yards to score. Yeah.

353
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: That's the seventh straight win where they've scored first, and

354
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: the sixth straight when where they've scored on their first drive.

355
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: So it's pretty important. I think, figured you need to

356
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: change something up, you know, I mean, just whatever you

357
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: need to do to try to get a W is

358
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: what you need to do. So I thought playing with

359
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: the lead for the first time, you know, it was

360
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: a big deal. And that wasn't an easy drive, you know.

361
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: I had to go ten plays to cover the distance

362
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: they needed to cover, and it was the sign of

363
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: things to come. On third down, some nice are down

364
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: conversions and they had some you know, three of their

365
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns were on third down in third and long in

366
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: some cases, So it was kind of a foreshadowing of

367
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: things to come. It was nice to be the sackers

368
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: instead of the sack today just two sacks allowed four

369
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: sacks for the Bengals, including two and a half for

370
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson. I know you talked to LC after the game.

371
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Would you think of the play of the O line. Yeah,

372
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean I thought that it was it was solid.

373
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think, like we was saying during the game,

374
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: I think that the amount of time that they sustained

375
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: their blocks and protection was was a big factor, and

376
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: it allowed Joe to do some of the things he

377
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: wanted to do, you know, to extend and create plays

378
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: when the initial stuff wasn't there. He had some Houdini

379
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: like escapes, There's no question, but the fact that guys

380
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: were still pressing into guys and protecting Joe, I thought

381
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: was was it definitely a step in the right direction.

382
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: And you know ELC got it it out. You know, Uh,

383
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: he's got a issue he's dealing with. I asked him,

384
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: is it is it more pain as more uh stiffness,

385
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: and he said it is what it is, and he's

386
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: just gonna gonna continue to try to operate at the

387
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: best level he can operate at. So it's I thought

388
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: today was a good, good example once again, a complimentary

389
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: football and the defensive takeaways. He gave the offense short fields,

390
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: and the offense didn't waste any time, you know, putting

391
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: points on the board and paying it off. So it

392
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: was all It was all pretty sound in retrospect. Was

393
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: there anything more predictable then Joe Burrow would come out

394
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: sharp and have a good game today, not after the

395
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: way he handled himself during the week. I mean he

396
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: told everybody to uh our e lax, relax, and you

397
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: know Aaron Rodgers did that and played well after he

398
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: did that. So I think I think he realized how close,

399
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, they were in terms of you know, getting

400
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: getting over the top, and they get over the top.

401
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Went by two scores. In the NFL, doesn't matter who

402
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: the opponent is, you've you've had a pretty good day.

403
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: There's no question. Trey Hendrickson two and a half sacks,

404
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: three worst fumbles. I don't know off the top of

405
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: my head the last time a Bengal had three forrest

406
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: fumbles in the game. But just an extraordinary performance by

407
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: Trey and I can't believe that he wasn't a triple

408
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: team like he was in Dallas. You know, Dallas would

409
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: put a tackle, a tight end, and a back on

410
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: him at times, and they singled him up a lot

411
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: more than I thought he'd be singled up, and he showed, Wow,

412
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: that's not a good decision. So I would expect in

413
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: the future here in the immediate future that Thursday night,

414
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: I would think Trey is going to draw a lot

415
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: of attention after having the type of game that he had.

416
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: Other than his performance, what stood out about the defense

417
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: and holding the Jets without a touchdown in this game. Yeah,

418
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't have a red zone snap until

419
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: the very end of the game. Their deepest penetration was

420
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line. I think they continue to

421
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: tackle very well, and I thought they're a big objective

422
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: was to squeeze the space between you know, themselves and

423
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: the back or tight end or whoever you know bars

424
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: just looking for completions, getting those completions two of those

425
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: guys and putting themselves in position to make tackles and

426
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: then doing it. You know this, this defensive football team

427
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: doesn't miss many tackles, There's no question about it. And

428
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: I thought they tackled really well. Today. The running game

429
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: by and large wasn't very good until the end of

430
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: the game. And then some JP Ryan had forty seven

431
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: rushing yards on one drive where the holes bigger during

432
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: that stretch. Was he hitting it a little bit better

433
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: differently from Joe? What did you notice during that stretch? Yeah,

434
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean I noticed a real commitment on everybody's everybody's part,

435
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean they went big, They went six

436
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. They weren't trying to fool anybody. What they

437
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: wanted to do had to lead, wanted to close it out,

438
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, melt the clock, frustrate the jets, just to

439
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: you know, impose their will. And I think that's a

440
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: good sign. It's the running game has been sputtering, to

441
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: be kind, you know, so hopefully a drive like that

442
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: might you know, might ignite some things and U you know,

443
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: sharpen the execution and get some things going to One

444
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: thing I will say about some ajp Rhyan though, man,

445
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: he didn't he made quick decisions and just he went

446
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: after it. He got downhill square to shoulder, pads up

447
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: and and ran you know, behind his pads. There no

448
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: doubt about that. He was thumping people and had a

449
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: twelve yard touchdown catch before that. Yeah, that was that

450
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: was big on third down as well to uh, you know,

451
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: give himself as to make himself an available target for

452
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow as he's you know, just trying to get

453
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: something done extended creating a play that wasn't the that

454
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: wasn't the way that play was drawn up, but the

455
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: results were pretty darn good. So as far as home

456
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: team advantage or home field advantage goes, the saying is

457
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night home games are the biggest advantage. You can

458
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: have short week, you don't have to travel. Well, it

459
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: could come in handy this week because the Dolphins are

460
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: three and l. They beat the Buffalo Bills today. Yeah,

461
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's a that's a huge win for them

462
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: to uh for them to go to Buffalo and uh

463
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: and our Buffalo to go down to Miami and get

464
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: that get that w I mean, m I know, I

465
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: know the Bills were shorthanded defensively. They had some injuries

466
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: in the secondary. I think they were missing one of

467
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: their guys up front as well. But you know, you

468
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: still have to you have to play both sides of

469
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: the ball. And they've got a pretty good quarterback. So

470
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: obviously the Miami Dolphins defense stepped up as well, and

471
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: they got themselves a huge win, I mean the division

472
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: win like that against everybody's Super Bowl favorite. I mean,

473
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna be They're gonna be sky high. So it'll

474
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if if they'll have a letdown

475
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: or if they'll, you know, sustain that that level of performance.

476
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: Short week got to travel not a not a short

477
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: flight from Miami. We'll see. Hopefully the Bengals built some

478
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: momentum offer this win and come out and play very

479
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: physical football against the Dolphins. Nice to say, coffin nails

480
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: for the first time this year. It was very nice.

481
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: It was Let's do it about ten more times. That'd

482
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: be good. Les Both podcast is presented by Alta Fiber

486
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,240

487
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: Facts interview, where you get to know the person under

488
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: the pads. Time for some fun facts with long snapper

489
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: cal Ada Midas from Pittsburgh and Central Catholic High school

490
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: alma mater of Dan Marino. Is there a Dan Marino

491
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: shrine at Central Catholic. I won't quite say shrine, but

492
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: there's there's certainly a lot of respect given to his

493
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: name in the Central community, for sure. Understandably why now,

494
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: you were a full back tight end in addition to

495
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: being a long snapper and good enough to have some

496
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: smaller college offers. Correct didn't reel in the offers because

497
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: I had some injuries my senior year that kept some

498
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: schools from pulling the trigger on me. But going into

499
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: that season, attended a lot of camps and had a

500
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: pretty wide variety of interest from D one, Double A

501
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: and higher level D two schools. He told me back

502
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: in OTAs that your dad deserves credit for convincing you

503
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: to become a long snapper. What was his pitch, basically

504
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: pretty much that you know, the team that I was

505
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: playing on, realistically was a pretty stacked high school team,

506
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: and you know, I was realistic, knew my limitations as

507
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: a tight end fullback, and he said, hey, I know

508
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: you have big dreams about wanting to play football as

509
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: long as possible, and this is a way to continue

510
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: to do it. And you know, I'm still playing football,

511
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: so he certainly gets credit for that. How often did

512
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: you practice and how did you practice to get good

513
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: at this? Yeah? So, I mean obviously during practice. We

514
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: had a good guy named Roy Phillis who helped us

515
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: out during practice in high school, just learning the ropes

516
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: with the kickers, punters and snappers. And then in addition

517
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: to that, just kind of spent a lot of time

518
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: actually with my dad at the local elementary school field

519
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: just repping it out and you know, doing all sorts

520
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: of different things to work on snapping under pressure. And

521
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: I remember him just here and there, you know, banging

522
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: pots and pans. They're doing some interesting stuff to try

523
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: to distract me while snapping. But just got a lot

524
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: of reps in with him, and my brothers as well,

525
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: always helped out. We're doing fun facts with cal Adamidas.

526
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: I typed long snap trick shots into goo Google and

527
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: got nearly twenty five million results. Do you have a

528
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: favorite that you've seen and have you ever tried anything, well,

529
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, just to stroke his ego a little bit,

530
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: I'll definitely say. You know, Clark Harris's world's longest snap

531
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: is certainly an impressive, impressive snap. But you know, I've

532
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: never done a ton of the trick shots. I've always

533
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: just kind of focused on snapping it to the punter

534
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: of the holder. But it is fun to watch those

535
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: videos every now and then, I know, And like there

536
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: was a challenge where guys would snap it and try

537
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: to hit like the cap off of a bottle. I

538
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty cool. But I'd probably say those

539
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: two were the most impressive to me I've seen through

540
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: the window of a moving car. That's a pretty good one.

541
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: You might want to try. Yeah, and now you're giving

542
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: me a list of things to work on in my

543
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: free time. Cal you spent five years at PITT. You

544
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: majored in economics. If pro football had not worked out,

545
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: did you have a plan B career wise? In my

546
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: fifth year at PIT, I was able to start my

547
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: MBA at their business their Graduate business school, and that's

548
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: certainly something I want to complete in the near future.

549
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: In the off time with football is completely that NBA.

550
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I have to say my minor was history,

551
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: American history, and that was probably what I was more

552
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: actually passionate about as a student. Um so, you know,

553
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: trying to I guess have my you know, feat in

554
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: both pools a little bit there, But uh, I can't

555
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: say I know exactly what I wanted to do, But

556
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: I just knew wanted to finish up that NBA and

557
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: uh you know, maybe something that somehow incorporated a little

558
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: bit of history as well. But I just I hadn't

559
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: thought a ton into it. I obviously my plan A

560
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: was football and it's still been working out so far,

561
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: so I'm all in with that right now. Plan A

562
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: is definitely working out. What was the highlight of your

563
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: Pitt experience, whether it was football or just school in general.

564
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: I'd certainly say winning the ACC championship with that group

565
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: of seniors we had last year, and it was a

566
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: it was a pretty old team, um, just a lot

567
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: of guys who had been there for a lot of

568
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: years and you know, just fell in love with the school.

569
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: You know, had a great relationship with coaching Ardusi and

570
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: his staff, and just a lot of guys that you know,

571
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: genuinely genuinely cared about Pitt and Pitt football and wanted

572
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: to you know, bring some glory back to to the

573
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: pit script And you know, guys that always knew about

574
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: or heard about the teams from the seventies and eighties

575
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: that were winning national championships and wanted to kind of

576
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: rekindle that flame a little bit, and we certainly, you know,

577
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: did a little bit of that and hoping the trajectory

578
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: keeps it that way at Pitt. Were you a big

579
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: fan growing up? Yeah, so this is a funny story.

580
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: I my dad went to Penn State, and that's kind

581
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: of a no no in the in the Pit community,

582
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: but um no, basically grew up kind of rooting for

583
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: both teams, obviously because my dad was a Penn Stater

584
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: and you know, spent some time in the Happy Valley

585
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: and some time at the North Shore at pit football games.

586
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: And and then it wasn't untill my recruiting process when

587
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, my older brother and I both kind of

588
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: felt a little bit snubbed by by Penn State, and

589
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, I got a chance to play at Pitt

590
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: and you know, things just went great and so then

591
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, as a full one eighty and we just

592
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: were became a Blue and Gold family after that. We're

593
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: chatting with cal Adamidas. You were the top ranked long

594
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: snapper in last year's draft class, but didn't get selected.

595
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: You said afterward though, that your relationship with Darren Simmons,

596
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: the bengals longtime special team's coordinator, was a key to

597
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: winding up here. How did that relationship start and what

598
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: was it about Darren that made such a strong impression

599
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: even from the jump at the combine. Um, that was

600
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: I think the first time I interacted with him, just

601
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: because he wasn't able to be there for the Senior

602
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: Bowl obviously since you know, the Bengals were in the

603
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which is you know, a good reason to

604
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: miss it, um, But you know, being at the combine,

605
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: just kind of the way that he took over the drills,

606
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: and UM, I almost was like confused at for us.

607
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, is this guy like a coach

608
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: or is he like running the like running the show?

609
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: But he, uh, you know, he just kind of took

610
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: control of things and you know, just seemed very sharp

611
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: and you know, continue to have zoom calls with him

612
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: and then his assistant cooled Anderson as well, and just

613
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: started to build that relationship and just saw their track

614
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: record and you know, the sense of the stability that

615
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: he has within this pro this organization. UM, and just

616
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: there's a reason why you know, he's been here for

617
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: as long as he has, and and then also saw

618
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: just the track record with Clark and Kevin as well.

619
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: You know, as a specialist, like there can be a

620
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: a lot of turnaround, but you hope to find yourself

621
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: in a position where you find a system and a

622
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: coach that works and you stay there your whole career basically,

623
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: and that's that's the dream and that's what that's what

624
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: his track record has been. So um it was like, hey,

625
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's what I want. Why why settle

626
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: for anything less? Basically? All right, A few wildcard categories.

627
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Legendary Cincinnati Reds broadcast or Marty Brennaman had his head

628
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: shaved for charity a few years ago. He raised a

629
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: ton of money for the Dragonfly Foundation. You did something

630
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: similar at pitt for Cal's kids. Describe what you did. Yeah,

631
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: so we did a fundraiser. UM with some of the

632
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: new NIL policies m in college, we were able to

633
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: work with Children's Hospital Pittsburgh and just basically started a

634
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: fundraiser for pediatric cancer care. And um, you know, with

635
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: the success our team was having, things kind of just

636
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: took off and you know, ended up getting um talked

637
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: about on like college game Day and on a lot

638
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: of our bigger games and the big broadcasts, and it

639
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: was just really cool. You know. I had a ton

640
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: of great help from some awesome people at PITT EJ. Borghetti,

641
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: Celeste Welsh, Chryslasala, all people who you know, helped out

642
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: a ton along with coaching, our doozy coach Powell, all

643
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: the coaches and and uh, you know, just you know

644
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: are the the wins. The big wins were helping too.

645
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: You know, I can't go without noticing just the excitement

646
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: around the program really helped channel that as well into

647
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: the charitable cause as well, and uh, it was cool.

648
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: Like I remember when we played VTech Um we had

649
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: a big win at their place, and there was like

650
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: a twenty five thousand dollars increase in donations just because

651
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: like people were fired up about pit football and then

652
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, like this is a way to like

653
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: put my energy in love for pit into like charity

654
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: as well. And so it just worked out like the

655
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 1: season and the fundraiser just kind of took off together

656
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: and end up raising over one hundred thousand dollars for

657
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: Children's Children's Pediatric Cancer Care and then after we reached

658
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: the goal. Um it was what the week after the

659
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: AC Championship, we shaved my head and uh yeah, so

660
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: my hair went went bye bye, but it was for

661
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: a great cause you had the long, flowing, shoulder length

662
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: locks before that. Do you ever miss it? Absolutely? And uh,

663
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of in the process of, uh

Speaker 1: you know, growing it back out again. I just miss

665
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,320

666
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,239

Speaker 1: Italian bread disgusting or delicious? Well, um, you know it's

675

00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm from Pittsburgh. I have to

684
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: well played, very well played. Final question for cal Adamidas.

685
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: This is kind of a deep one. If you could

686
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: meet anybody in history, athlete, actor, statesman, a religious figure,

687
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: whoever that person might be, who would it be. M

688
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I come from a Catholic family,

689
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: so I'd obviously have to say Jesus, like, I'd love

690
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: to just pick his brain. I guess I don't know

691
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: that's the right thing, but you know, a little easier,

692
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: maybe more fun to answer. I don't know, I'd probably say,

693
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: just being a history guy, I would love to meet

694
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: like George Washington or any like the founding fathers because

695
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: just the way they thought and you know, created this

696
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: country is uh, it's kind of mind blowing and just

697
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: how ahead of the time and the thought processes of

698
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: that time they were to you know, write the Declaration

699
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: of independence and you know, establish a system a republic,

700
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, of government and h yeah, I definitely say

701
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: one of the one of the founding follows, maybe Ben Franklin,

702
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: because he's a very fascinating character as well. So that'd

703
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: be my probably Benjamin Franklin, Jesus, George Washington and Ben Franklin.

704
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: It would be a great trio with a long snapper

705
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: thrown in there for good measure. Hey, I appreciate your time,

706
