17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: thing since the Montgomery Inn. Grippo's collaboration one of my

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: favorite treats at Cincinnati's legendary Montgomery In restaurant are the

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: thick cut Saratoga chips enjoyed by many customers with a

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: side of the Inn's tangy barbecue sauce. Well, now you

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: don't have to go to the restaurant to get them,

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: as The Montgomery Inn has partnered with Grippo's Potato Chip

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: Company to sell Saratoga chips at Kroger. They come in

24
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 1: two flavors, plane and barbecue. The Montgomery In and Grippo's

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: quite possibly the greatest collaboration since Lennon and McCartney. Now

26
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: let's get to football and the radio replays from Sunday's game.

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: Normally I bring you a comprehensive recap with highlights from

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: both teams, but this is a Bengals podcast, and I

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: suspect you're in no mood to hear Lamar Jackson run

30
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: around for ten seconds before making a big play, So

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: this week we're sticking with Bengals highlights, at least until

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the very end of the game. Burrow and the Shotgun.

33
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: With Moss off his right hip, Joe is ready catches

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: his shoulder high snaff throws by.

35
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: Higgins, touchdown Bengals up the middle. Of the field and

36
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: into the end zone. He bows toward the fans behind

37
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: the goalposts, and the Bengals are a pat away from

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: tying the score.

39
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: And now Joe Burrow read that perfectly. He threw a

40
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: dart to t Higgins. T Higgins probably looked about eight

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: feet tall.

42
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: On first and ten from their own two, the Ravens.

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: Line up in an occamation. It's a safety. They tackle

44
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry. Sam Hubbard tackles the King in the end zone.

45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: Two points for the Bengals. Had a safety.

46
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: The Bengals with one time out remaining, trailing by five points.

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Burrow ready for the shotgun snap. Moss lines up to

48
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: his right. It's a fake to Moss. Burrow with time

49
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: fires deep down the chase. He's done.

50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: Touchdown Bengals nine seconds left in the half, but a

51
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: penalty flag at the forty seven yard linh Man, I

52
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: think it's on Baltimore.

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: That's good.

54
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: Roughing the passers the fowl brook the Festal.

55
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: He took them a ninety.

56
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Two nice last week, a touchdown with one second left

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: in the half. Today, a touchdown with nine seconds left

58
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: in the half.

59
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Burrowing the shotgun with Zach Moss to his right. Eric

60
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: All is also in the game. Higgins motions to the right,

61
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Burrow is ready, catches the shotgun snap he throws into.

62
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: The undel god for the touchdown. An emphatic spike by

63
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: t Higgins his second touchdown catch this afternoon, and the

64
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: Bengals kept the double double a touchdown at the end

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: of the first half and a touchdown.

66
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: To begin the second half. Kara snaps it back, Burrow

67
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: looks bro caught.

68
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: Heads a touchdow sound.

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Chase Brown with the catch, knocks over the pylon. Four

70
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: touchdown passes for Joe Burrow and the Fangals lead by

71
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: nine with a pat coming up.

72
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Joe's thrown four touchdown passes the tighest career high throws

73
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: a short pass to Chase Nice blocking.

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: On the the fifty at the foot race jam out

75
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: of the thirty. The twenty to ten, the five touchdo

76
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: seventy yards Burrow to Chase. Joe mar does it again

77
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: and Cincinnati's lead could be back to ten, pending the pat.

78
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: I'll tell you know.

79
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 6: Sometimes you have to.

80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: Make more of the plane than design of the plane.

81
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: And it was designed to be a little screened wide

82
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: receiver screen you see what you can get out of it.

83
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: Good blocking by there's two tight ends all in Kisiki.

84
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: He splits the two defenders and once he gets going

85
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: north and south.

86
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 5: He is gone.

87
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: Lamar drop the snap, get the balls on the ground,

88
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: still on the ground, get picked up by Jermaine running

89
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: to the fortieth the thirty eight I the Bengals have

90
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: the football, half the thirty eight of Baltimore have. Lamar

91
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: Jackson dropped the snap, couldn't pick it up cleanly, and

92
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: the Bengals have a chance to win the game.

93
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: How about it?

94
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: Thirty eight all the score. McPherson is ready. Rico looking

95
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: back at the kicker. Now he twists his head, catches

96
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: the snap, puts the ball down. The kick is up.

97
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: It is no good missed it left and the Ravens

98
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: will get the ball at the forty four yard live

99
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: justin Tucker for the win. This would be the twentieth

100
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: game winner of his NFL career. And it's as easy

101
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: as they come. Twenty four yards away. He swings the

102
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: right leg and the Baltimore raven rally from ten down

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and beat the Bengals in overtime

104
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: forty one two thirty eight. Right now, you almost certainly

105
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: know what happened on the Bengals game winning field goal

106
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: try in overtime. Holder Ryan Rico caught the long snap

107
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: but wasn't able to place the ball down smoothly. That

108
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: threw off the timing and Evan McPherson's fifty three yard

109
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: attempt went wide left. Here's Rico's description of what went wrong.

110
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 7: Watching the film back, it looks like I just don't

111
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 7: get a super clean grip on it as I'm trying

112
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 7: to bring it down. I think I'm trying to bring

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 7: it down a little too quick, and then as it

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 7: kind of the tail starts to wig out a little bit,

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 7: I try and get it back up and just don't

116
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 7: get my right hand back out of the way fast enough.

117
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 7: Evan did a great job, he stuck with it. He

118
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 7: trusts us a lot, and I think that's one of

119
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 7: those things where I feel like I let him down,

120
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 7: let the team down a little bit, And yeah, definitely

121
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 7: tough to look back on, but it's one player. I

122
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 7: hate that that's it feels like that costs us the game.

123
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 7: Then for me personally, I definitely feel like that too.

124
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 1: Your heart had to be racing, Ryan could you feel

125
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: it where the butterflies fluttering.

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 7: That's one of those things where usually when I'm on

127
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 7: the field, I feel really calm, and that circumstance wasn't

128
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 7: any different. I really do feel like almost the adrenaline

129
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 7: maybe too much, just trying to get it down too quick.

130
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Then there's the Bengals offensive approach before the field goal.

131
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: With a first down at the Baltimore thirty eight, they

132
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: handed the ball to Chase Brown three straight times on

133
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: second and third down. They had six offensive linemen, two

134
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: tight ends, and only one wide receiver on the field,

135
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: a pretty clear indication that a run was almost certainly coming.

136
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Here are Zach Taylor and Joe Burrow and electing not

137
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: to pass in that situation.

138
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 6: We feel like we're in field goal range and you

139
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 6: know there are there, there is. We've thrown the ball

140
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 6: in that situation before we called past. Joe actually did

141
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 6: a great job getting us out of it back into

142
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 6: a run because the look was not there to throw it,

143
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 6: and so there was there was good management by him.

144
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 6: Still got a couple of yards out of it, and

145
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 6: then we're in a position to win the field goal,

146
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 6: and and we thought we'd win it with that.

147
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 8: You know, I'm not going to second guess that we were.

148
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 8: We were in field goal range. You know, we go

149
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 8: into every week on game day understanding field goal range

150
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 8: on each side of the field, and yeah, you want

151
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 8: to get some yards to make it easier on them.

152
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 8: But also that defense is really good and makes negative

153
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 8: plays happen all the time. So if you know, you

154
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 8: drop back and and get sacked or sacked fumble, they

155
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 8: have a really good rush.

156
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

157
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 8: You know, I'm not going to second guess that one.

158
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 8: We had a shot to win it and we didn't

159
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 8: take advantage of it.

160
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker entered the game one for seven from fifty

161
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: plus yards since the start of last year and nailed

162
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: a fifty six yard at a force overtime money. Mack

163
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: had made seventy seven percent from fifty plus for his

164
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: career and missed from fifty three. Unfortunately, that's the way

165
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: this season has gone so far. I talked to McPherson

166
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: after the game.

167
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 9: I hate for it to in the way it did.

168
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 9: I wish I could come through and kind of hesitate

169
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 9: there and so put a good hint on it. It

170
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 9: actually ended up going pretty far. But it's just an

171
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 9: unfortunate event, won't have it again from these guys. I

172
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 9: know that we worked so hard, too hard for that

173
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 9: to happen, and I just hate that I couldn't come

174
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 9: through for the team in that situation, because I mean,

175
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 9: they played a really tough game back and forth, and

176
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 9: it just it's a terrible feeling that when you when

177
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 9: you can't come through like that at the end.

178
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: Now we feel lousy for Ryan, having's unfortunate for him

179
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: this early in his career.

180
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, you know, I'm really proud of Ryan. He

181
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 9: has done a really good job at holding and I

182
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 9: have full trust in him. And whether he drops it

183
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 9: or if it's perfect, I think that I should make

184
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 9: every kick and so none of that should be put

185
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 9: on Ryan or Cal or anything. I think, if anything,

186
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 9: I didn't put the ball through the upright, So I

187
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 9: think it all got to follow me.

188
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Any thought on the offensive strategy there at the end,

189
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: more or less saying okay, fifty four fifty three fine.

190
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, we had a pretty good win going

191
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 9: that way. It was kind of cross, but it was

192
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 9: more so towards our tunnel, and so we had a

193
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 9: good feeling of from long distance going that way, So

194
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 9: you don't want to risk putting the ball up in

195
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 9: the air, getting an interception or what. So usually the

196
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 9: game plan for game win and field goal is run

197
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 9: the ball, get as close as you can, but ultimately

198
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 9: just hang on to the ball. So when can get

199
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 9: the field goal attempt?

200
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: Can you describe just how difficult this one is the

201
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: process considering how well it went for most of the way.

202
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I know, it's super difficult, just because everything

203
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 9: was going so and we were playing so good, and

204
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 9: I just hate the wait into it because we all,

205
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 9: I feel like, had a good feeling about it. We

206
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 9: were all playing really good football and I felt like

207
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 9: I was kicking well today. I had a good feeling

208
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 9: about the field goal. But it's just how it goes sometimes.

209
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 9: But you got to learn to take it, move on

210
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 9: and not sit on it and not let it affect

211
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 9: next week.

212
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000

Speaker 1: is the official healthcare provider of the Bengals. Now let's

218
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: hear from team captain Ted Kerris sed, you're always good

219
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: at having a perspective in situations like this. I mean,

220
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: what's the locker room mood right now?

221
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 10: I think the table to tape on us is where

222
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 10: the would be kings. We're four possessions away from having

223
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 10: a great record. Ball hasn't bounced our way, such as

224
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 10: the nature of the business in this league, so we're

225
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 10: sitting at one and four having to dig our way

226
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 10: out of football.

227
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: Hell, Joe had said during the week, we need to

228
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: be pretty darn perfect or close to perfect, and you were,

229
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: but one costly turnover, a couple of third and short failures,

230
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: and that's the difference.

231
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, in an AFC North battle like this, you know

232
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 10: those are costly. You know we didn't finish the game,

233
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 10: and we haven't finished in our four losses. We've been

234
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 10: right there. We're the almost so we need to start

235
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 10: being the definitelyes.

236
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: Three games with thirty plus. Do you take any solace

237
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: and how the offense is performing right now?

238
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: Not really.

239
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 10: I mean, sure, we'll look at the film and there'll

240
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 10: be some positives, but we're not winning so we got

241
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 10: to dig our way out of this.

242
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: I know you're not gonna play cooler.

243
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 6: You guys get the ball back, plus territory and overtime

244
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 6: after the fubble, Can you take me through the idea

245
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 6: of running it three times?

246
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 11: When your quarterback is as hot as he is?

247
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: What's the strategy do you think offensively in that spot.

248
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna dive in to the strategy of that.

249
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 10: What I think is we need to execute a little

250
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 10: bit better. Maybe get us you know, six or seven

251
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 10: yards and let our you know, all star kicker make

252
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 10: a kick. And the ball didn't bounce our way this time.

253
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 10: So you know, I'm not gonna.

254
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 7: Sit here and second guess anything.

255
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: At one and four, a lot of guys are going

256
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: to lean on the leaders of this room. How important

257
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: is it for guys like you at this time?

258
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 10: That's very important to mean I think that, you know,

259
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 10: I think a lot of times leadership can be overblown.

260
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 10: It's about showing up to work every day and bringing

261
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 10: your best, and I think that's that's the best way

262
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 10: to lead. You know, you can be you know, mister

263
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 10: raw Rah, when it comes down to it, you got

264
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 10: to show up on Wednesday ready to go, ready to work,

265
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 10: ready to do what it takes to turn our almost

266
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 10: into wins.

267
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: So the Bengals are one and four and all four

268
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: losses have been by six points or less. They're up

269
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: to fourth in the league in points scored, but they're

270
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: next to last end points allowed. Here again, our Zach

271
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Taylor and Joe Burrow.

272
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 6: Sick to my stomach for our guys in there. They fought,

273
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 6: proud of them, but we got to find a way

274
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 6: to win. We can't keep coming up one play short.

275
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 6: And that's really what the game came down to. So

276
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 6: a lot that I admired about how our team fought.

277
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 6: That was a good, good game against a great team.

278
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 6: And uh, and we're gonna find a way to rebound

279
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 6: from this and move forward because I believe in the

280
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 6: guys in that room. I know we're in a tough situation,

281
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 6: but I believe we've got the guys to bring us

282
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 6: out of it.

283
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 8: We're not a championship level team right now.

284
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: We're not.

285
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 8: You know, I like to think that. You know, we'll

286
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 8: come back and improve throughout the season to get to

287
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 8: that point, but right now we are not, and we

288
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 8: have to get better.

289
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 6: It's week five of the season. So it's disappointing that

290
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 6: we just lost a great football team in a big

291
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 6: game for us, But you're not going to see a

292
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 6: lot of guys sitting in here just feeling sorry for ourselves. Like,

293
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 6: we still believe in each other and we have a

294
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 6: tremendous opportunity to show what we're about going forward, and

295
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 6: so people can write us off if they really want to.

296
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 6: I'm dumb enough to do that, And so I believe

297
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: in these guys, and I know what we showed out

298
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 6: there today, and I showed that there's brighter days ahead

299
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four in the season, and I'm excited

300
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 6: to watch these guys rebound and do that.

301
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Next a Sunday night road game against the two and

302
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: three New York Giants, who went on the road and

303
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: beat Seattle on Sunday twenty nine to twenty. The Giants

304
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: rushed for one hundred and seventy five yards in that game.

305
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: Now time for the radio guys recap we lap. I'm

306
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of at a loss for words. Thirty eight points,

307
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: ten point leads on multiple occasions in the second half,

308
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: and they didn't get out of here with a win.

309
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: This one's tough to stomach. For the Bengals and for

310
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: their followers.

311
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 11: There's no question. I mean, both quarterbacks should talk about

312
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 11: lighting it up. I mean, they were both ridiculous. Jackson

313
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 11: as a quarterback rating at just under one twenty four

314
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 11: touchdown passes three hundred and forty eight yards passing Joe

315
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 11: Burrow three hundred and ninety two yards passing five touchdown

316
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 11: passes an interception, one thirty seven rating. If he doesn't

317
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 11: throw that pick, he's damn near perfect. But I mean

318
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 11: chasing Higgins nineteen catches two hundred and seventy six yards

319
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 11: between the two of them, four touchdowns. You're kidding me,

320
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 11: how you know, how do you lose that? How do

321
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 11: you lose that football game? The Bengals going five drives

322
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 11: of seventy yards or more for touchdowns, one of them

323
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 11: is one play drive, and they lose the football game. Defensively,

324
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 11: it was just such a struggle they You know, they

325
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 11: did a good job on Henry for most of the

326
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 11: football game. He got away late in the football game.

327
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 11: Obviously that's set up the game winning field goal. But

328
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 11: I mean he ends up with ninety two yards rushing.

329
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 11: That's so deceptive with that fifty one yard lug at

330
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 11: the end of the football game. But the red zone,

331
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 11: they get down there five times, they score five times.

332
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 11: You know, after Henry has the run, that red zone

333
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 11: possession doesn't even count when accounted. They were five for five.

334
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 11: The Bengals were three for three. That they just didn't

335
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 11: get there as much as the Ravens did. I mean

336
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 11: the epitome of a track beat. And in the AFC

337
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 11: North that prides itself on good defenses, I mean both

338
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 11: defenses got sliced and diced.

339
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: So Joe Burrow said during the course of the week,

340
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: I need to be darn near perfect, and for much

341
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: of the day he was. But with about three minutes

342
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: to go, it's first and ten at the Baltimore twenty eight.

343
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: You're up by three. Or Lando Brown Junior called for

344
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: a five yard penalty. Joe throws a pick. On the

345
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: next play. You get the ball back with plenty of

346
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: time left and three timeouts remaining, tie score, drive down

347
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: and kick a field goal. Take a sack on the

348
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: first play, get nothing. You recover a fumble in overtime

349
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: with a chance to win the game, and can't advance

350
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: the ball. So plenty of opportunities. As as much as

351
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: the defense struggled, there were plenty of opportunities for the

352
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: offense to put it away.

353
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 11: There were And really, the only play I think that

354
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 11: Joe would like to have back is the one he

355
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 11: under threw to Tee. I mean, Tea's numbers would have

356
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 11: been ridiculous if they complete that ball, if he puts

357
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 11: it out in front instead of a little bit short,

358
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 11: you know, he's still running. I mean that that bad

359
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 11: boy brings Tea well over a hundred yards receiving in

360
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 11: the football game. I mean that would have been his

361
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 11: tenth catch, and he probably would have had, you know,

362
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 11: like a buck twenty or more. So it's crazy how

363
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 11: well the offense took advantage of things that are really

364
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 11: good defensive football team. The Baltimore Ravens are a solid

365
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 11: defensive football team. The Bengals, you know, they spread them

366
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 11: out and kind of took them apart a little bit.

367
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 11: They had their way in the middle of the football

368
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 11: field until Humphrey. Humphrey saw the route a few times

369
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 11: during the course of the game, that slant route, and

370
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 11: he jumped it and got in front of Jamar and

371
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 11: made a great play on it. There's no, no doubt.

372
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 11: But you know that turnover was big. But then to

373
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 11: get it back, Prat gets it back the fumble and

374
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 11: you know he advanced and puts the Bengals in field

375
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 11: goal range. And Ryan Rico, the rookie holder, doesn't handle

376
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 11: the snap cleanly and the lacers are on the on

377
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 11: the ground basically at the balls on its on its side.

378
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 11: He gets it up, but not great and it's within

379
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 11: like a millisecond of of the the approach of Moneymack,

380
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 11: and those are tough to make, particularly from that distance.

381
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. So reinforcements were back on the

382
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: defensive line. We don't have snap counts yet. Miles Murphy

383
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: played a lot, McKinley Jackson played a little, I think

384
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: against a mortal quarterback, a normal human being of a quarterback.

385
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: Miles Murphy might have had a great game. He was

386
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: in the backfield quite a bit, but couldn't get Lamard

387
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: to the ground.

388
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's a that's a tough one to

389
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 11: come back and think about your football geometry, the angles

390
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 11: that you take because he's not mortal. I mean, that

391
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 11: guy is it. It's like, I don't know what it's

392
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 11: trying to like tackle. It's it's trying to tackle a

393
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 11: you know, an unbelievable, make you miss running back in

394
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 11: the pocket. I mean, he'll make unbelievable runs of the

395
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 11: football to climb the pocket, and then he'll climb it,

396
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 11: he'll retreat, he'll go to you know, get out of pocket,

397
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 11: to the side, all in the same play. And it's like, man,

398
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 11: this guy is just his short space quickness is incredible,

399
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 11: and he just seems to have tremendous vision, I mean,

400
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 11: like eyes on the side of his head, in the

401
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 11: back of his head for when to change direction, when

402
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 11: to climb the pocket, when to retreat, when to do

403
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 11: everything he does. He is spectacular and then a lot

404
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 11: of times he's unusual and that you'll hit him. I

405
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 11: remember Sam hit him pretty good one time and he

406
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 11: retreated and less than the contact, you know, he he's

407
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 11: so quick. He just backpedaled like three steps and Sam's

408
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 11: contact ended up being a lot less and he kind

409
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 11: of slid down him and he escaped that. So he

410
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 11: is a tough guy to hit and wrap up. He

411
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 11: is so slippery and so dynamic.

412
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: The Bengals might be the first team ever to have

413
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: their point total go up in their first five games

414
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: of the year from ten to twenty five to thirty three,

415
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: thirty four, now thirty eight, and to have two thirty

416
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: point games at home that you didn't manage to win.

417
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: This defense got to find answers soon for the Bengals

418
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: to stay alive.

419
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's almost that's almost incomprehensible really when you think

420
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 11: about it. You know, since the opener they've been averaging

421
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 11: thirty points seven points a game. In the next three well,

422
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 11: they did better than that this this game, thirty eight.

423
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 11: So yeah, they're not having trouble putting points on the board,

424
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 11: that's for sure. But you know, when your defense is struggling,

425
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 11: like we talked about, they had opportunities to make plays

426
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 11: to close it out and they just you know, couldn't

427
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 11: quite get it done. It was definitely a track meet,

428
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 11: and Baltimore Ravens ended up holding the baton at the

429
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 11: end of the race.

430
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: Any qualms with how they approached their possession in ot

431
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: after the fumble recovery, a lot of questions in the

432
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: locker room about, you know, extra offensive linemen running settling

433
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: for a really long field goal. Try what'd you think?

434
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm I mean Joe was asked about that and

435
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 11: he said, I'm not going to second guess that. You know,

436
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 11: I asked Zach about it, and you know he wasn't

437
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 11: going to second guess his decision. You know, in the end,

438
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 11: if Rico had handled the ball cleanly, might not be

439
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 11: a point of contention, but it didn't. He didn't, So

440
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 11: now it's a point of contention.

441
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 4: You know.

442
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 11: It's like last week, if Zach goes down on that

443
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 11: third down pass and and gets tackled or fourth down pass,

444
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 11: I should say, and gets tackled. I mean, now it's like, oh,

445
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 11: you're going to get crucified. But it worked out this

446
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 11: one holder didn't handle the snap. I mean, the way

447
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 11: he hit that, even though it was mishandled, it's still

448
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 11: He's got such a good leg and he can make

449
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 11: good adjustments. He just couldn't adjust well enough at the

450
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 11: last second. It was such a split second before you know,

451
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 11: he's expecting to see the thing upright, like it in

452
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 11: a little bit of how he likes to tilt or whatever,

453
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 11: and it was nothing like that. So for him to

454
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 11: not go in panic mode, you know, says a lot

455
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 11: about him. But just could not quite make the necessary adjustments.

456
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: Four losses by less than twenty points. The margin is

457
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: razor thin, and unfortunately, and the close ones, they've come

458
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: up on the losing side all four times.

459
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 11: It's remarkable, really, I mean, you think it's gonna it

460
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 11: would start to even out, you know, And unfortunately all

461
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 11: of the losses are in the AFC, and one of

462
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 11: them now is in the division. So you're one in

463
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 11: four and your only victory is in you know, with

464
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 11: an NSC South team, So those, uh, those kind of

465
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 11: things start to start to mount up on you a

466
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 11: little bit too. But man, just got to figure out

467
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 11: ways to finish football games, because that's that's the difference

468
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 11: in having really good years in years where there's a

469
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 11: lot of what ifs. You know, oh, man, should have,

470
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 11: could have, would a what if? That's where they are

471
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 11: right now. If you win these close football games, it's

472
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 11: like draw a deep breath and move on to the

473
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 11: next one, and you know, your life sool rosy and

474
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 11: a bowl of cherries. Right now it's like eating dog

475
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 11: poo and and I mean you can't stomach anything. I

476
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 11: mean it's like there's nothing that tastes good right now.

477
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 11: So gotta get some wins. Got to string some wins together.

478
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 11: Got to go to New York, got to go to Cleveland,

479
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 11: two straight road games, you know, NFC opponent. Maybe they

480
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 11: get their second NFC win. They got to beat Cleveland

481
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 11: in Cleveland for their first division win. Those are the

482
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 11: you know, and I don't even want to think about Cleveland.

483
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 11: Go to New York and get another win, get back

484
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 11: on track. But offensively, Dan, they're playing damn good football.

485
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 11: They really are. I mean, it's it's really unfortunate.

486
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: Yes it is. The Bengals are now averaging twenty eight

487
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: points a game that would tie the team record set

488
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight when the Bengals went to Super

489
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty three. There's an invitation to join us for

490
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals Game Plan Show on Wednesday night. We'll be

00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: fun Fact segment, where you get to know the person

495
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: under the pads. Time for some fun facts with offensive

496
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: lineman A Marius Mims from Cochrane, Georgia, small town about

497
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: two hours south of Atlanta. What's a kid do for fun?

498
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Growing up in Cochrane?

499
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: You got about two us because Cochran is very small.

500
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 5: You can either go outside and play basketball. You got

501
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 5: if you look at how friends like I did. You

502
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 5: can go some kind of hog hunt and I did hunt,

503
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 5: like oh, that's what I always did.

504
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: You're not the first member of your family to play

505
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: pro football in the state of Ohio. Your dad played

506
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: in the Arena League for teams in Columbus and Cleveland.

507
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Was football a huge deal in your household growing up?

508
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 4: One hundred percent?

509
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 5: Like I said, Man, I remember watching I remember sending

510
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 5: it front of TV at a engage, watching football my

511
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 5: dad all the time, and I just knew, like that's

512
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: what I wanted to do. But at that time, I

513
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 5: was playing the office side of the ball, and I

514
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 5: thought I was gonna be a defensive star. But you know,

515
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 5: years later, man, you know who knew time would change

516
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 5: and you know my position changed. So but I still

517
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 5: love the game no matter what, both sides of the ball.

518
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: I just love watching it. It's just a fun game

519
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 5: to me.

520
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: You started out as a middle linebacker when you were young.

521
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: Give me a scouting report on Marius mems in the

522
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: middle of the defense.

523
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 4: It was great.

524
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: Those were the times I just remember as a kid,

525
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: I sat in front of the TV thinking I was like

526
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 5: Ray Lewis, and I used to imitate everything he used

527
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 5: to do, even in rec league. I make a tackle, man,

528
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: I'm I'm pumped, I'm excited. Man, I'm acting just like him.

529
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: You're obviously a large man and you were a big kid.

530
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: Were the parents of the other kids afraid of you

531
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: in youth sports?

532
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: Yes, so I got a story. So I was.

533
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 5: I used to keep a copy of my birth certificate

534
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: at the recreational department and, like, to be honest with you,

535
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 5: I'm one of the youngest kids in my class. So

536
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 5: they would still like tell their like they would still

537
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 5: tell there apartment like he cannot play in the same

538
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 5: division as my son, even though they were older than me.

539
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 5: I was just always talled and everybody. So I have

540
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: to play like two age groups above my age group.

541
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 5: So I used to play with I graduated in same princes.

542
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 5: I graduated in twenty one. I played in the direct

543
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: league with the people who graduated two years you know

544
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 5: before me.

545
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: So and your birth certificate was on display at the

546
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: rec center just In Klay's parents complained, had we had

547
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: it there? Were you amused by that or did it

548
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: make you self conscious?

549
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 7: No?

550
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 5: I didn't mind it. I mean, I just want to

551
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 5: play football. It didn't really matter what age girl I

552
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 5: played on. I just I was just glad to play.

553
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: We're doing fun facts for the Marius memes. Every kid

554
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: has a growth spurt. When did you get your big

555
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: growth spurt?

556
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 5: I want to say after my freshman year when I

557
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 5: had my knee injury. I wanted to say I was

558
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: around six to one my freshman year and then I

559
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 5: don't know what happened. I just remember like four or

560
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 5: five months later, I came back off like six to six.

561
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 5: I don't know how I happened, but I guess my

562
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 5: my high school head coach, Vin Last always said that

563
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 5: he sprinkle some magic dustin my knee whenever they opened

564
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 5: me up and did my surgery.

565
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: So I'm just gonna go with that.

566
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: Were you breaking your parents' budget on clothes and shoes.

567
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: Clothed shoes, food, everything, So I'm just thankful for them

568
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 5: to just be able to clothe me and feed me

569
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: because I was going at a rapid pace at that

570
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 5: time and I know I was not.

571
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: I know I was not a cheap child.

572
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: So you're a highly tuted recruit. What school recruited you

573
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: the hardest?

574
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: Georgia?

575
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 5: I was, like I said, I end up staying in

576
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 5: the home state. But yeah, man, Georgia recruited me a lot,

577
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 5: because I remember at the time coach Sam Pittman recruited

578
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 5: me hard. Then he took the job of Arkansas, and

579
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 5: then I remember the next day coach coach on Matt

580
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 5: Luke got the job. He was at my high school

581
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 5: at eight o'clock that morning, so.

582
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: They weren't going to let that one slip through the cracks.

583
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy the attention or was it a pain

584
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: in the neck?

585
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 4: I enjoyed it.

586
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 5: I enjoyed, you know, going to meet, going to visit

587
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: new schools and all that good stuff and everything that

588
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 5: came with it. But towards the end it started get aggravating.

589
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 5: I just started like cutting their list down as soon

590
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 5: as possible, just because I was like, there's some schools

591
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: I know I didn't want to go to, and it's

592
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 5: just like I'm not a big like I don't like

593
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: the attention on me like that a lot. So I

594
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: just enjoyed it for a little bit, and then I

595
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 5: was like, all right, it's time, it's time to pick

596
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: a school.

597
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: Well, your choice worked out well. You picked Georgia. You

598
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: won national championships your freshmen and sophomore years. The team

599
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: was obviously loaded, so you didn't start right off the bat.

600
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: You played, but you didn't start. And then at the

601
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: end of your sophomore year, Warren McClendon, who's now in

602
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: the NFL with the Rams, got injured, and you started

603
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: the national semifinal game against Ohio State and the national

604
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: championship game against TCU. What did starting those games and

605
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: doing well do for your confidence?

606
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: It did a lot, honestly, even though I wasn't technically

607
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 5: an own paper starter before those games, always preparing myself

608
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: as if I was so really, like I said, whenever

609
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 5: he went down, it like it wasn't a surprise like

610
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 5: for me to like, Okay, you gotta do just different,

611
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 5: you gotta do that different. Like I was already prepared,

612
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Because like we did like

613
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 5: a three man rotation between me, Broger and one and

614
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: just about preparing. And that's what's helped me now, just

615
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: like just go into a system like that where you know,

616
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 5: I'm saying about it like I'm around a bunch of

617
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 5: good guys and we're all expected to play at a

618
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 5: high level. So the fall off there was no fall

619
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 5: off at all. Like I said, we rotated eight guys.

620
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 5: I want to say, my sophomore year throughout the OH line.

621
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: An abundance of riches at Georgia to say the least.

622
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: Last year and your final year there, you had an

623
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: ankle injury and missed about half the season. It seems

624
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: to have created a narrative that you are injury prone.

625
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: Does it drive you nuts?

626
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't, like I said, just feel the fire.

627
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 5: I don't really like care what people like I have

628
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 5: to say about a my like if I'm injury prone

629
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 5: or not, if I don't have that much experience. Like

630
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 5: I said, a team took a chance on me and

631
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: they saw something in me, then, like I guess the

632
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: other teams didn't see them. So I'm gonna use that

633
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: as you know, I'm just glad to be here and

634
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 5: I'm just appreciative that the Bengals took a chance on me.

635
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: Describe your draft experience.

636
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 4: It was great.

Speaker 5: I just remember sending the couch and mym my agent.

638
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: He gave me a rundown of like, you know, possibly

639
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 5: where I could end up and like like a range.

640
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: It was like it was like a fourteenth to twenty

641
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 5: two ranch that he thought. And it's crazy how I

642
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 5: falled right in between that, like like right in the

643
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: dead center of that. It was really fun, just like

644
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 5: like just seeing like like all the other guys before

645
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,000
