Bjorkeez 83 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: is the holder. Rex Sunahara is the long snapper. Here 84 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: comes the game winning dry from forty nine yards away. 85 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: The kick is up and it is. 86 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: Good. 87 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: At the Cleveland Browns had the lead. There is a 88 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: penalty flag at the thirty one yard line. 89 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 3: Shoot that's all about. 90 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: The Browns are celebrating, so they've been informed that the 91 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: penalty is on Cincinnati. 92 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 4: There is no found on the player. 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 5: The field goals good, game over. 94 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Game over Schmidt happened. 95 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, a forty nine yard field goal at the gun 96 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: for rookie Andre Schmidt being hoisted onto the shoulders of 97 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: his teammates as the Cleveland Browns drive far enough under 98 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback Shador Sanders for rookie kicker Andre Schmidt to 99 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: win the game. Whose final score Cleveland twenty, Cincinnati eighteen. 100 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: There's that code, Zach Taylor. On a day that saw 101 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: the Bengals out gain the Browns by one hundred and 102 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: sixty four yards and win time of possession by more 103 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: than eleven minutes, only to lose. 104 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 6: There's little things that got us. We've missed two extra points, 105 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 6: did two turnovers for touchdowns, and then they had a 106 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 6: two minute drive to win the game, and it's just frustrating, 107 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 6: and it's it's just frustrating, that's the biggest thing. And 108 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 6: then that we weren't able just to finish it in 109 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 6: some area, finished that game and and find a way 110 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 6: to get a win. It's a little bit fitting, to 111 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 6: be honest with you, and in terms of how our 112 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 6: season's gone, and several times we've had games where we 113 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 6: played well in different areas and we just we just 114 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 6: haven't found a way to put it all together. And 115 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 6: then there's been games this last couple of weeks we had, 116 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 6: but this is one we need to finish off, you know, 117 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 6: a individual game, and this is this is how these 118 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 6: divisional games go and it usually comes down to a. 119 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 7: Play at the end. 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: For the Browns. The win was doubly satisfying because with 121 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: a little more than five minutes to go in the game, 122 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett etched his name into the NFL record book 123 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: first and ten at the forty five of Cleveland shotgun Snap. 124 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Here comes Miles Garrett and he's got Joe Burrow. Brown's 125 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: fans standing up hands celebrating has Miles Garrett has just 126 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: become the NFL's single season record holder for sacks. The 127 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: Browns are coming off the sideline to celebrate. They could 128 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: be penalized for that. 129 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: They could, they could. I guess the officials are taken 130 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: into consideration the enormity of the play. 131 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 6: There's five minutes left in our season. We're playing for 132 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 6: our lives here and I never told that we're going 133 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 6: to stop the game and in a critical moment like that, 134 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 6: And the refs just said that they made a decision 135 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 6: that they were going to stop the game, and they 136 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 6: said they tried to do it as quickly as possible. 137 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 6: I didn't feel that we didn't sub. We're trying to 138 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 6: be on the ball and go and play with tempo, 139 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 6: and the umpire just held the ball so that we 140 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 6: couldn't do anything. And I'm yelling at Joe, get on 141 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 6: the ball. We didn't sub, We're going and then we 142 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 6: couldn't play. And so again, trying to get an answer 143 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 6: was not easy. They just said that they made a 144 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 6: decision as a as a crew to stop the game. 145 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 6: When that happened. I guess it didn't matter when it happened. 146 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 6: It just they were going to stop the game. And 147 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 6: though I was never informed to that, they didn't say 148 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 6: one word. We meet with him in the ninety minute 149 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 6: meeting before the game, they never said one word about that. 150 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: The sack was Garrett's only tackle of the game, and 151 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: he finished with two quarterback hits. But make no mistake, 152 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: his impact was enormous. The Bengals chipped him on nearly 153 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: every passing play meeting one fewer receiver immediately went out 154 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: for a pass, and Joe Burrow threw an unusually high 155 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: number of swing passes and checkdowns before Garrett could get 156 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: to him. Here are Burrow and Zach Taylor on the 157 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: Garrett factor. 158 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 8: He's the focus of our game plan every time. It's 159 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 8: no secret you have to and it's challenging because you 160 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 8: have to commit resources to that and that takes away 161 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 8: resources from from elsewhere. But for the most part, I 162 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 8: thought we were pretty good against him today. 163 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 6: He's the best player, and on the defense side of 164 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 6: the ball, he's the best player, and he recks every 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 6: single play. You gotta account for him. They got a 166 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 6: really good defensive line, You got a really good defense. 167 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 7: Run. 168 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna just minimize it and say this good 169 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 6: defensive line. It's a really good defense that's been challenging 170 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 6: for every team they've played all season. You know, you 171 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: just look at his last couple of games they've played. 172 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 6: They do a great job. They make it hard. You 173 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 6: got to earn everything. I thought we found some success 174 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 6: at different points in the game and and you know, 175 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 6: just weren't able to score more than the eighteen or 176 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 6: whatever you scored. 177 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 8: You're feeling quickly often and you know that certainly affects 178 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 8: how far you can push the ball down the field, 179 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 8: the protections that you can call, the plays that you 180 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 8: can call, and how quickly you want to get the 181 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 8: ball out of your hands. You know, he's the best 182 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 8: of what he does and try to mitigate that as 183 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 8: much as you can with your play calls, your protection plan, 184 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 8: and then high quarterback plays. 185 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: I discussed miles and more with Bengals tight end Drew Sample. 186 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 9: He's someone that if you're not aware of on every play, 187 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 9: he can you know, change the game. And so you know, 188 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 9: being a individual opponent, we obviously assum twice here, so 189 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 9: you know each game is a challenge with that and 190 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 9: we understand you know, the game record that he is 191 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 9: and that he can be and I think you've seen that, 192 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 9: you know, with his sack numbers everything throughout the season, 193 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 9: will have you know, they'll play teams that maybe don't 194 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 9: see them as much. They'll have you know, two, three, 195 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 9: four sacks or whatever it may be. So they don't 196 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 9: you know, sometimes they don't understand like how big of 197 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 9: a you know record he could be. So I mean 198 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 9: that's that's a part of the plan. They have a 199 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 9: really good defense, you know, they they challenge you. They 200 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 9: have good front, seven good dbs. You know, we've typically 201 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 9: battled battled with them over the years and we've been 202 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 9: fortunate to come out on top the last you know, 203 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 9: I think four or five times. You know, they're able 204 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 9: to get us this week. 205 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: You guys throw a lot of short passes, check downs. 206 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: You caught a few of those. I assume you have 207 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: to do that against Cleveland because of that threat. If 208 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: you don't, he is going to get to your quarterback. 209 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 9: Right Yeah, I mean I think some of that too 210 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 9: is you know, them trying to you know, they play 211 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 9: out a man mixing coverages, so you're trying to toe 212 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 9: the line of like, hey, let's go let our guys win, 213 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 9: but also understanding that they're you know, and Joe does 214 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 9: a great job of that having kind of that internal 215 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 9: clock and you know, going through the progression the way 216 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 9: he needs to go through it to you know, look 217 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 9: for our playmakers and then if nothing's there, knowing that 218 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 9: he's either got to get out or dump it down 219 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 9: to the running back to height end, whoever it may be. 220 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 9: And I thought, you know, he did a good job 221 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 9: of that really the whole game. You know, was able 222 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 9: to kind of spin out a one early maybe and 223 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 9: then you know, just kind of wasn't able to get 224 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 9: out on the one that he did get. 225 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: The outcome is obviously disappointing, But as an offense, when 226 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: you end the season with what you think at least 227 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: is a game winning drive, is that a good note 228 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: to end on. 229 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 9: I mean, obviously we didn't win, so that's obviously, you know, 230 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 9: it's tough. And then when you look at you know, 231 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 9: I think it was you know, we gave him fourteen points, 232 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 9: So I mean, yes, there are things within the game 233 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 9: obviously where you know, you bounce back and you go down, 234 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 9: and you know you go up at the end. Obviously 235 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 9: that's great, but you know there's there's definitely just a 236 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 9: lot of stuff to clean up from our end, and 237 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 9: and you know, I thought the defense played well for 238 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 9: you know, ninety percent of the game, so I think 239 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 9: I mean that they scored what ten points without our 240 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 9: fourteen or whatever. 241 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: It was six points on offense for them. 242 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 9: Right, So you know, I think that's definitely something that 243 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 9: we got to look at and how we can fix 244 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 9: those things, because obviously that's happened to us a couple 245 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 9: of times this year. But yeah, I mean, there was 246 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 9: definitely some good drives in there. 247 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 7: There was some good stuff and. 248 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 9: We got into a rhythm, but the turnovers killed us. 249 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: To the coaching staff, and sideline appeared to be incensed 250 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: when they were allowed to celebrate after miles one sack. 251 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: You're not supposed to be allowed to come charging off 252 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: the sideline, did you, guys, you know, want to snap 253 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: the ball and move there. 254 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 9: I mean, it's something where initially you just see, got 255 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 9: a lot of guys in the field, so it's all, 256 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 9: let's not the ball, and then you kind of see 257 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 9: I guess they're celebrating, and then I guess they're letting 258 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 9: them celebrate. So I mean, obviously it's a great accomplishment, 259 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 9: but I don't, you know, I'm not gonna I'm not 260 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 9: gonna comment on that. 261 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I you. 262 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 9: Know, obviously that's a you know, big record for him. 263 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 9: We were trying to obviously not let him get the record, 264 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 9: and he got it. So I guess if we didn't 265 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 9: want that, we you know, I don't know. He's a 266 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 9: good player and obviously had a great year. 267 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: You guys don't want to be in this position next year, 268 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: and there's talent on this team that's gonna put you 269 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: in a position to have a great season next year. 270 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: What's the key? What what must you guys do better 271 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: to avoid missing the playoffs next year? 272 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 9: I think just being maybe more consistent, just whether that's 273 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 9: throughout games, throughout drives. Just you know, we went through 274 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 9: some really great stretches where we're in rhythm and we're 275 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 9: you know, moving the ball well and everything's kind of clicking. 276 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 9: And there was obviously games this year too where it 277 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 9: was hard to get things going, whether that was you know, 278 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 9: it's hard to get the run game going, or it 279 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 9: was hard to get the pass game, you know, just 280 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 9: a collection of things at one point. But like in 281 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 9: our games that we lost or played poorly, and that 282 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 9: was kind of the the thing is just not being 283 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 9: able to get in a rhythm and be consistent and 284 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 9: even being consistent. 285 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 10: Game to game. 286 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 9: You know, obviously the NFL is tough and teams play 287 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 9: us sometimes differently than than other teams. So but I 288 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 9: think I think that just off the top of my head, 289 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 9: just trying to be more consistent and trying to you know, obviously, 290 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 9: you always want to limit you know, negative plays, penalties, turnovers, 291 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 9: things of that nature, and I felt like in some 292 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 9: of our losses that those were kind of things that 293 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 9: bubbled up a little bit. So I mean, I'm sure everyone, 294 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 9: you know, everyone hates the taste in our mouth. You know, 295 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 9: obviously we had a good little two games, lost this game, 296 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 9: and but we're nowhere near where we want to be, 297 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 9: and so I think, you know, everyone's going to look 298 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 9: in the mirror first, you know, coaches, players, everyone, and 299 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 9: then you know, we'll come back and reset and come 300 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 9: back in the offseason and kind of figure out what 301 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 9: needs to be done. 302 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow through for two hundred and thirty six yards 303 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: with three touchdowns, that pick six on a tip pass, 304 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: and a passer rating of one oh four point two. 305 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: In the eight games he played this year, Joe completed 306 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of his throws, with seventeen touchdowns, five picks, 307 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: and a passer rating of one hundred point seven. Here's 308 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: Joe on his abbreviated season. 309 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 8: I'm really proud of what I did this year. Came 310 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 8: back from an injury faster than any human ever has. 311 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 8: I'm really proud of that. I think I came back 312 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 8: and played some really good football. I had one bad game, 313 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 8: and no, he certainly don't want any of those, but 314 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 8: I'm certainly not going to lose my mind over that. 315 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 8: I think, you know, when I came back, I played 316 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 8: some really high level football, and I'm certainly proud of 317 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 8: what I did this year. 318 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: It was a good final day of the year for 319 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: Chase Brown, who scored his eleventh touchdown and ran for 320 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: seventy two yards, putting him over the one thousand yard 321 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: mark for the first time in his career. He finished 322 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: with oney nineteen In the first six weeks of the season, 323 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: Chase never to fifty yards. In the Minnesota game, he 324 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: had three yards on ten carries, but in the final 325 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: eleven games, Chase average seventy four yards per game and 326 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: five point two yards per carry. Dave Lapham caught up 327 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,239 Speaker 1: with Chase Brown after the game. 328 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 7: I think we were we were just connecting on all levels. 329 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 11: We're keeping Joe up Oline, was doing a great job 330 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 11: in the run blocking, We're making big plays down the field, 331 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 11: and when that all comes together, that's the Cincinnati Bengals offense. 332 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 11: So that's what was going right. And I'm honestly grateful 333 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 11: that we were able to find that because that's, like, 334 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 11: you know, that's hard to find sometimes, especially with you know, 335 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 11: the way that we started and the struggles that we're going. 336 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 7: In hindsight, it does feel good to, you know, be 337 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 7: able to find. 338 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: That thousand yards rushing for the first time. What's that 339 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: feel like? 340 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 7: Feels great. 341 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 11: I was ten yards off the last year, got injured 342 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 11: in Week sixteen against the Broncos, So it feels good 343 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 11: to finish off the year with you know, that statistical measure, 344 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 11: but still a lot more that. 345 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 7: You know, we want to achieve as a team, so. 346 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 11: You want to be in the playoffs, you want to 347 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 11: make a long postseason push. So that's kind of where 348 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 11: I'm at right now. Just sucks that we're not doing that, 349 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 11: but I guess it feels good to hit a thousand. 350 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 3: And really, like you mentioned, nine to ninety the year 351 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: before almost two thousand yards rushing. What you went over 352 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: one thousands, So about two thousand yards rushing in a 353 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: two season stretch. It speaks to consistency, and I think 354 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: that's the definition of Chase Brown. I think you are 355 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 3: as consistent of football players not only does this year's 356 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: team and this team has had, but that I've ever seen. 357 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 3: I mean, you go out and take care of business. 358 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 11: I think as a professional, the most important thing is consistency. 359 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 11: You don't want to go out one year, have a 360 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 11: good year, and then come back the next one and 361 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 11: flunk it. So I think the most important thing is 362 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 11: putting in the work to be able to be consistent. 363 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 11: So I think the best part too is I think 364 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 11: the overall quality of what you no I put out 365 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 11: there on tape was much better than last year. So 366 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 11: I feel like I took a step forward. But it 367 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 11: sucks because you know, you want to play in the postseason. 368 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 11: That's kind of probably be how I finish everything here 369 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 11: is you want to be in the postseason, and it 370 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 11: sucks that we're not there, And you know we'll figure 371 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 11: out a way to do that this offseason and come 372 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 11: back next year a better team. 373 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 3: I know you take great pride in your performance, take 374 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 3: great pride and being a pro get take great pride 375 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 3: and being a Cincinnati Bengal. And the thing that again 376 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: is the most impressive thing to me is how complete 377 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: you are as a running back. I mean, you run 378 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 3: the ball great, like the numbers show it. But you're 379 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 3: also a great receiver of the football. You run great routes. 380 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow trust you, respects you. You catch the football, 381 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: you tuck it away, you don't turn it over. You're 382 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 3: a great blue pick up guy who stick your nose 383 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: right in the chest of linebackers and safeties in your mind. 384 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 3: How proud are you about being a complete football player? 385 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 11: What's required here to play running back for the Cincinnati Bengals. 386 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 7: You look at everybody in our room. 387 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 11: We're all able to run the ball, We're all able 388 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 11: to you know, pass detech, we're all able to catch 389 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 11: the ball. So that's what we take in pride and 390 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 11: take pride in here, is you know everything that you 391 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 11: can do. You want to be a complete back, but 392 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 11: I mean we got we We have three complete backs 393 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 11: and even the guys on. 394 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 7: A practice squad could do it as well. So that's 395 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 7: That's what we take pride in here as a. 396 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 11: Group, and we're going to keep being that, you know, 397 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 11: as long as we're all here in Cincinnati. 398 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: As for the defense on Sunday, it's hard to pin 399 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: much blame on them. They didn't give up a touchdown 400 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: and held Cleveland to two hundred yards after holding Arizona 401 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: to two thirty three last week. To put that in perspective, 402 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: the Texans have the stingiest defense in the NFL this 403 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: year and gave up an average of two seventy seven 404 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: per game. Here's my conversation with defensive tackle BJ Hill. 405 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: Bj eight tackles and a sack today. You had a 406 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: terrific game. The defense in general had a terrific game. Unfortunately, 407 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: when you needed that stop at the end, you couldn't 408 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: quite get it. How disappointing is it to end the 409 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: season on that note. 410 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 4: It's definitely disappointing that we've definitely been playing really good 411 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 4: ball the last couple of weeks. I know, we just 412 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 4: got to make a play done in the stretch. Yeah 413 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 4: it sucks, but you know we learned from the move 414 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: on you Riff next year. 415 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: Five sacks today, constant pressure on Shador Sanders. Did you 416 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: feel like the defense showed in this final game kind 417 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: of the progress you've made in the last half of 418 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: the season. 419 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I'm excited for the future of 420 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 4: this team. 421 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 7: Man. 422 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: We got a like good young guys here on the team, 423 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 4: So man, the future is very bright for us. 424 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: They had two defensive touchdowns when you had the early 425 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: lead in this game. What kind of an emotional blow 426 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: is that. 427 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 4: You know, you just put the ball down mentality for 428 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 4: the defense, I don't know what happens. We just gotta 429 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 4: go out there and get stops. 430 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: You want to keep playing. You hit this point of 431 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: the year, and obviously you've been on teams that have 432 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: made it to the Super Bowl, in the NFC Championship game, 433 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: is it kind of strange for the season to be done. 434 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, especially we got a great group of guys, 435 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 4: like especially like all the time we got in here. 436 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 4: We just feel short a little bit. But like I said, 437 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 4: stuff happens. You let me move on and you learn 438 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 4: from it. Don't make excuses on you're on it, and 439 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 4: just get better. 440 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: You've taken a big leadership role on defense, particularly in 441 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: the second half of the season. How much did you 442 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: see some of these young guys grow a lot. 443 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 4: Man. I can name so many young guys that grew 444 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 4: up during the season. Man, you got we had two 445 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 4: rooky linebackers that grew up real fast, Miles Murphy, Chris Janecas, 446 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 4: even though he got hurt, he grew up like like 447 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 4: Jay Black, Like, We've got so many guys that stepped 448 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 4: up and play really good football. 449 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: Still, you would expect most of the Bengals free agent 450 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: dollars add high draft picks this year to be spent 451 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: on defense. Here's Burrow on the need for the Bengals 452 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: to address their weaknesses. 453 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 8: This of paramount importance. I think you have to identify 454 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 8: where you're weak and figure out a way to be 455 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 8: strong in that area. That's the NFL year in and 456 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 8: year out. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, but 457 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 8: you have to attack that period with intent. 458 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 4: To get better. 459 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Joe expects to meet with the front office in the 460 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: next day or two and knows that his voice matters. 461 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 8: I know they certainly value my opinion. I think I 462 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 8: think about things critically. I think that I can provide 463 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 8: some insight into things going on in the lockerman on 464 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 8: the field that could help us win and so I 465 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 8: plan to voice some things, just like I do every offseason. 466 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: The Bengals finished the season six and eleven, ending US 467 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: streak of four straight winning seasons. They'll have the tenth 468 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: pick in next year's draft, the first time they've selected 469 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: in the top ten since choosing Jamar Chase fifth overall 470 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one.

The Bengals road opponents outside the 475 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: division are Houston, Indy, Atlanta, Carolina, Miami, and Washington.

So 570 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 10: you know, I'm just grateful for everything. 571 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: You signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers 572 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: and then the preseason opener this year, you caught a 573 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: touchdown pass against Jacksonville. How significant was that moment for you? 574 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 5: It was extremely significant. 575 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 10: You know, it was a reassurance moment, you know, coming 576 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 10: out of the draft, you know, undrafted, you know, not 577 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 10: being a guy with anybody has high expectations for us 578 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 10: in terms of productivity, and in terms of future wise 579 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 10: with the league. But you know, to go out there 580 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 10: and do what I know I was capable of and 581 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 10: show up when my name was called. Like just being 582 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 10: an opportunist who always praised myself on being you know, 583 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 10: it just meant everything. 584 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: Did not getting drafted put a chip on your shoulder. 585 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 10: Most definitely, But at the same time, you know, I 586 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 10: like to be a guy who's realistic. You know, understood 587 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 10: that was a high possibility going into the draft. But 588 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 10: like I said, I'm an opportunist. You know, I knew 589 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 10: as long as I was able to get my foot 590 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 10: in the door and make it, make it on some team, 591 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 10: I know I'll pay away for myself at the end 592 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 10: of the day. 593 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: So you played in eight games for the Pittsburgh Steelers, 594 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: and then a few weeks ago, when they were trying 595 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: to move you from the roster the practice squad to 596 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: make a room for a veteran guy that they picked up, 597 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals jumped in and claimed you off waivers. How 598 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: difficult is it to change teams at this stage of 599 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: the season. 600 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 10: It's definitely not ideal, But you know, my goal was 601 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 10: to be on an active roster contributing to a team. 602 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 10: And you know, I'm glad that the Bengals was able 603 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 10: to see something in me that they decided that they 604 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 10: wanted to bring me on to help their team win games. 605 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 5: And you know, I'm extremely grateful. 606 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: You know it. 607 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 10: It was an unexpected turn of events, but you know, 608 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 10: this was part of the business, and you know, like 609 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 10: I like to be a realist, I understood how to 610 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 10: I'm starting to understand how the business works. 611 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 5: So there's no hard feelings. 612 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 10: You know, I understand that Pittsburgh gave me the first 613 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 10: opportunity to make my make a name for myself in 614 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 10: this league, and if it wasn't for them, I probably 615 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 10: wouldn't be here either. 616 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 5: So you know, it was difficult. 617 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 10: And hard to process, but you know, it's just you 618 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 10: gotta roll with the punches. 619 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: Have you even fully unpacked yet? 620 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 10: Now I'm living out of a suitcase an out of 621 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 10: a suitcase right now.

He has proven very difficult to bring down, 636 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: and we've seen that in your first few games with 637 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals. You had a twenty eight yard punt return 638 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: in the first game, of forty three yard punt return 639 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: in the second game.
