12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: since my job. I've dreamed of broadcasting NFL games for

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: as long as I can remember, and trust me, I

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: never take the privilege of being one of thirty two

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: NFL team radio voices for granted. Despite Sunday's finish, it

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: was a joy to be back in the Booth with

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: Dave Lapham and our great crew on Sunday and we

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: can't wait to do it again on Thursday night. Now,

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: let's get to this week's three point loss to the Chargers.

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: The highly anticipated start of the Joe Burrow era got

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: off to a bit of a shaky start offensively, as

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals had to punt on their first three drives,

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: but the fourth ended with Joe's first NFL touchdown empty

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: backfield five wides. As Burrow waits for the shotgun snap

25
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: on second and ten from the Chargers twenty three, he

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: runs a narterback drawn Hopkins with a great native touchdown

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: as Joe burrows first NFL touchdown comes out of twenty

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: three yard run on a beautifully called quarterback draw and

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: Burrow made the call. He looked at the Chargers defense

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: and audible to the QB draw to give the Bengals

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: a seven nothing lead, But they weren't able to add

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: to the athlete in the first half despite consistently having

33
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: great field position. Their average drive start on six first

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: half possessions was the thirty seven and a half, and

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: yet they only came away with seven points. Here's Zach Taylor. Yeah,

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: that's the most disappointed part of the game. As our

37
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: defensive special teams, we're winning the field position battle for us.

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: We didn't capitalize on In an offense, we had some

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: opportunities again in the third quarter that we didn't hit,

40
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: and you know, that's just what it comes down to.

41
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: The Chargers kicked a pair of field goals in the

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: second quarter, and at the half the Bengals led seven six.

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: Burrow was sacked three times and hit six times in

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: the first half, but he wasn't hit at all over

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: the final two quarters. Here's Jonah Williams. Yeah, I think

46
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: we settled down. Obviously, you know, we weren't protecting like

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: we need to and like we should have in the

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: first half. You know, obviously they have great rushers, but

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: it really comes down to us just not doing our jobs.

50
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: And so I think, you know, as a game we're on,

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: we kind of settled in and started to understand, you know,

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: how to beat this specific front. And you know, it

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: wasn't perfect the whole game, but I did get a

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: little bit better as we got, you know, more comfortable

55
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: with better protection. Burrow had two shots at long touchdown

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: passes in a span of three snaps in the third quarter,

57
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: barely overthrowing John Ross in the back of the end

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: zone from thirty five yards out and then missing a

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: wide open aj Green at the goal line from thirty

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: one yards out still fifty and forty three yard field

61
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: goals by Randy Bullock allowed the Bengals to take a

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: thirteen sixth lead to the fourth quarter. It didn't last,

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: as the Chargers pulled even early in the fourth. Virgil

64
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Green checks and is a blocking tight end and the

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: pounding running back Joshua Kelly is into the game out

66
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: of a pistol formation. Second and goal from the five,

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Taylor gives it to Kelly and he'll run it into

68
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the end zone for the Chargers first touchdown of the day.

69
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly's five yard run tied the game, and when

70
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals got the ball back, they promptly caught it

71
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: up double tight ends on second and ten, the Bengals

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: at their own twenty five in a tie game. Twelve

73
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: twenty left in regulation. It's a run to the right,

74
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Mixon fumbles the football and the Chargers recover at the

75
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati twenty four yard line, the first turnover of the

76
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: day for either team. Denzel Perryman forcing a fumble out

77
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: of Joe Mixon, who never fumbles the football. Coming into

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: this game, Joe Mixon had carried more than five hundred

79
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: times without a fumble and he gives it up in

80
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: his own territory. In the fourth quarter, the defense held

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers to a field goal, but that gave LA

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: a sixteen thirteen lead. Joe Burrow promptly drove the offense

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: to the Chargers twenty three yard line before he made

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: a critical mistake. Burrow drops back to pass again. Here

85
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: comes bosup Burrow moving to his left, intercepted by Melvin Ingram.

86
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: There's a penalty flag down as burrows shovel pass intended

87
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: for Giovanni Bernard was picked off by defensive end Melvin

88
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: and Ingram ineligible receiver down the football field. There's Joe

89
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Burrow tried to throw it, so that's what the penalty

90
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: flag is. That's not going to help the Bengals cause

91
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: it's a turnover. Two turnovers for the Bengals on back

92
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: to back drives in the fourth quarter, zero turnovers for

93
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: the Chargers in the game. And that was the bottom line,

94
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: according to Zach Taylor, killed us. I mean, we you know,

95
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: we went into the second half and if we're gonna

96
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: win the turnover battle, we're gonna win the game. And

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: it certainly didn't work out that way. And the Chargers

98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: got him, so hats off to them, but that port's disappointing,

99
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: and yet the Bengals were still in position to win.

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: Burrow got the ball back at his own eighteen yard

101
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: line with three o eight to go and no timeouts

102
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: and executed a near perfect drive, going eight for eleven

103
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: for seventy yards and throwing what could have been a

104
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: dramatic game winning touchdown. Three receivers left AJ Green out

105
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: to the right, shotgun snap Burrow from the ten yard line,

106
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: throws for Green, penalty flag down if he AJ comes

107
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: down with the ball, there's no touchdown. Six pennies for

108
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: offensive pass in appearance. Oh man, that is a tough

109
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: call at the top of the route, unbelievable. A J

110
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: Green they called him. They're they're doing hand to hand

111
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: combat at the top of the route. If they both

112
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: have their hands on each other, they call a J

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: Green for a push off. And it was sold big

114
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: time by the defensive back. That's Casey Hayward. Here are

115
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: AJ Green and Joe Burrow on the call. Well, when

116
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: he h clamping me the whole time coming off the ball,

117
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: so within five yards, So if you can call that,

118
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: we can call that. Both ways, but they made the

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: call bang bang plays. At the end of the day,

120
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, I made too many, too many mistakes to

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: win the game, and we just didn't make enough plays.

122
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: So you know, whether that call goes our way or not,

123
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: a lot of calls are going to go on a

124
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of different ways throughout the game. And then you know,

125
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I made miss miss aj on a deep bombs John

126
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: on a deep bond and through the interception that that

127
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: just can't happen. The penalty moved the ball back to

128
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: the thirteen yard line, and with seven seconds to go,

129
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: Taylor called on Bullock to attempt a thirty one yard

130
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: field goal to force overtime. Bullock two for two so

131
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: far today. The snap is good, the kick is wide right,

132
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: he missed it. Oh, the Chargers hold onto the lead

133
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: with two seconds to go, and Pollock is hurt. Bullock

134
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: immediately grabbed his lower leg after missing the kick. Yeah,

135
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: on the last play, for whatever reason, during the kicking motion,

136
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: my left calf just grabbed real hard. So obviously that's

137
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: not not an excuse. That's a kick that I make

138
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: ninety nine times out of one hundred. It was a

139
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: freak deal. I wish I had a better answer for

140
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: what transpired. It seems like just for whatever reason, a

141
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: calf grabbed and it it affected the play. Instead of

142
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: a thrilling last second victory, Joe Burrow's debut ended in

143
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: a three point loss. How did he grate his performance?

144
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: D Like, I can't, Yeah, D I can't. I mean,

145
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: I can't miss that one too. Aj. That's you know,

146
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: high schooler can make the throw and then I can't

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball right to Meld and Ingram and give

148
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: them the ball back when we were in scoring ring.

149
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: So um tough way to lose. But his coaches and

150
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: teammates had a much different opinion, as Zach Taylor and

151
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: AJ Green marveled at burrows poise under pressure in the

152
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: final three minutes. That's what we expect, you know. That's

153
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: he just moves on to the next boy. And I'm

154
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: sure he's disappointed that you have to turnover. But again,

155
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: you don't since that at all from him. On the sidelines.

156
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: He's focused on what he's going to get done. And

157
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: he went out there and put us some position to

158
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: go there and winner tie the game. Is unbelievable. Man,

159
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: that guy. Don't flinch. Um. I was very the way

160
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: he handled itself when the last right was unbelievable. No

161
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: rookie I have seen, you know, the way he handled

162
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: it after advertually. Um, so you know, we got a

163
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: special one in Joe. We're gonna be better next week

164
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna build his thing brick by brick and

165
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: uh get better each week. Jonah Williams gets the last

166
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: word on the bengals first loss. It's tough because you know,

167
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: in this league, like, there's no you know, you just

168
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: have to own it. There's no like you can't feel

169
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: sorry for yourself. You can't sit there and say, oh, well,

170
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: we should have won, even though you know, I would

171
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: agree that it was definitely a game we could have won,

172
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it religious comes

173
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: down to we didn't execute like we needed to on offense.

174
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: You know, the defense played well, but there are obviously

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: things that could have done better. You know. So it's

176
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: definitely something where you can look and say that we

177
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: could have won, we should have won, whatever you want

178
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: to say, but at the end of the day, we

179
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: just didn't, you know, do what it took to win.

180
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: Last season began with a one point loss in Seattle,

181
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: and that's where I began my postgame chat with Dave Lapham.

182
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: All Right, Lap. For the second straight year, it felt

183
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: to me like the Bengals lost an opening game that

184
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: they should have won. Last year in Seattle, they outplayed

185
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, did not come away with a w in

186
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: this game. Two fourth quarter to fourth quarter turnovers absolutely

187
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: killed them, and then all that happened in the final

188
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: ten seconds of the game. Yeah. I mean, when you

189
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: look back at last year for this the LA Chargers,

190
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: they were mine seventeen in the turnover department, they had

191
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: thirty one giveaways none tonight. Tyrod Taylor is known as

192
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: a guy that takes care of the football. His mantras

193
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: just don't screw it up at the quarterback position, and

194
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: ultimately that won the football game for them. Joe Burrow

195
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: had a very unusual interception on a backhanded shovel pass

196
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: on a screen that he was trying to accomplish, and

197
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: England made a great play. I mean Pro Bowl player

198
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: made a great play. And Joe Mixon had the fumble

199
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: a game a short field and a touchdown on that

200
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: short field. So yeah, I mean, those those two turnovers,

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals are going in to put points on the

202
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: board and they turn it over and then gave short

203
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: field for you know, touchdown. That's a minimum of a

204
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: ten point swing, maybe more. Joe Burrow graded himself a D.

205
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: Is he too harsh tough grader? You know, I mean,

206
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: I think he's all about wins and losses. You know.

207
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: The fact is, I think he's obviously disappointed with himself.

208
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Overthrown AJ Green, who beat the linebacker like a drum.

209
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: He was opened by ten yards or more and he

210
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: didn't make that throw. He felt like he overthrew John Ross.

211
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: I didn't think John found the football. I thought the

212
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: ball was like right through his hands. It looked like

213
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: that was a catchable ball. But he said he's going

214
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: to put the ball in John Ross's chest. A good

215
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: quarterback does that. He deflects all the credit, takes all

216
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: the plane, and that's what he's doing. So he understands

217
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: that part of it for sure. But in my mind,

218
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: very positive thing after that, you know, bone headed shovel

219
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: pass interception. He goes down the field with no timeouts

220
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: and almost wins the football game. AJ Green catches a

221
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: touchdown pass that's nullified by offensive pass interference that would

222
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: have won the football game tells me a lot about

223
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Compartmentalized. Move on, forget about that, try to

224
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: make plays, can't do anything about the mistakes. Go make

225
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: up for him. If he does that, he's gonna have

226
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: a long, successful career. Well, let's talk about the final drive.

227
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: The Bengals got the ball back with three O eight

228
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: to go, no timeouts at their own eighteen yard line.

229
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Burrow went eight for eleven for seventy yards. He also

230
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: had a seven yard scramble I think on the first

231
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: play of the drive. Of the three incompletions, one was

232
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: a spike, one was a kind of a deep ball

233
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: for aj Green that was incomplete. The other was a

234
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: great pass to John Ross that he bobbled going out

235
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: a bound should have been a nine yard game. So basically,

236
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: three O eight no time outs to go, He drives

237
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: down the field, throws a game winning touchdown pass that

238
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: gets wiped out. But even taking that into consideration, he

239
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: sets up his kicker for a thirty one yard field

240
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: goal that you know, ninety eight percent of the time

241
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: is supposed to fours overtime. Yeah, and then the kicker

242
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: ends up injuring his kicking calf hopefully. I'm hoping it's

243
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: a cramp because during COVID nineteen, where the hell you're

244
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: going to find a kicker on a short week go

245
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. It's gonna be interesting. I mean, if he

246
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: can't go, that's a tough, tough deal. I mean, very

247
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: tough deal. What's out there, I really don't know. Hopefully

248
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: there's something out there, but that's a that's a huge factor,

249
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: I think in that football game coming up less than

250
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: a hundred hours from now. So yeah, I mean Joe

251
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: Burrow to me is so poker faced, so cool, calm

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: and collected. He is definitely cool hand Joe. I mean nothing.

253
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: I remember the forty nine players talking about Joe Montana

254
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: in the huddle in Super Bowl twenty three when he

255
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: went down for the game winning touchdown drive. He's saying,

256
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: other guys and hey, look there's John Candy over in

257
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: the sideline just loosening guys up. You know that's Joe Burrows.

258
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: I think he has a lot of Joe Montana makeup

259
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: to him, which I know is saying a lot and

260
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of praise and he's generational player

261
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: in all this net. But the guy has something to him.

262
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Now he's got some fiber, and I think I think

263
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: he made a very very favorable impression on his teammates

264
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: once again offensively, defensively, special teams by what he did

265
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: on that last drive with no timeouts. Your point about

266
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the kickers really interesting to me. If the injury to

267
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Bullock is significant, you've probably got to grab somebody off

268
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: another team's practice squad and somebody that can get here

269
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: quickly to start going through the protocol in order to

270
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: be available on Thursday. You probably will not be able

271
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: to practice with him. You're just going to have to

272
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: hope that he can clear protocol because he will already

273
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: be in the system, so there shouldn't be any problems there.

274
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: But it does take a few days when you change

275
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: teams and then he'll get his first opportunities to practice

276
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: with your snapper and holder on game day. Maybe unbelievable.

277
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think COVID nineteen with a short week

278
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, hilacious problem massive. You know, I

279
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: don't know Kevin Huber lining up from forty three yards

280
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: out to field goal instead of hold for the field

281
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: goal that would be That would be just absolutely crazy.

282
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's you know, hopefully, hopefully it's something that

283
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock can recover from. Maybe he just landed awkwardly

284
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: and cramped. I don't know. You know, if he wasn't

285
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: taking fluids it was human tonight. Maybe he lost more

286
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: fluids than he thought. Maybe he ended up just cramping.

287
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. One can only hope. But if it

288
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: is a pull, that it's a very very minor pull.

289
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: But if you're a place kicker and you have calf

290
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: pull in your kicking leg, that ain't good. It's not

291
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: a good deal. I don't care how minor the pull is.

292
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: And you know there's a bunch of muscles in the calf.

293
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's big ones, little ones. It's you know,

294
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a complex area to have have

295
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: an issue if you're trying to, you know, blast kickoffs

296
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: and field goals. There's no doubt. Let's talk about the

297
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: O line. You haven't seen any tape yet. We're talking

298
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: about this game immediately in the press box after broadcasting it.

299
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: But what do you think about Jonah Williams. Obviously, Joey

300
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Bosa gave Bobby Heart fits. That's why he's making twenty

301
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: seven million dollars a year as the highest paid defensive

302
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: player in the NFL, and then Billy Price wound up

303
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: playing right guard toward the tail end of the game

304
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: when Xavier sue Filo went out. Yeah, and I thought,

305
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: I thought, in the second half, the offensive line played

306
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: much better than they did in the first half. And

307
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: that's when Billy was, you know, in the football game

308
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: in the second half. So there wasn't any glaring thing there.

309
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: But there's no doubt. I mean when we played the Raiders,

310
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: how he Long back in the day would go up

311
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: and down the offensive line and see what everybody had

312
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: in terms of past protection and then settled in. And

313
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: if you were the guy who settled in out it

314
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: was like you were the fish man. So he got

315
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: to pick which guy he wanted to rush out because

316
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: he could rush from anywhere. How he Long was the man.

317
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: And it looks like Joey Bosa, you know, he can

318
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: rush from both end positions and looks like you know,

319
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: they said, you know, give it a feel him out

320
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: and see where, see where you feel like you might

321
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: have your best opportunity. And he ended up settling over

322
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart more than Jonah Williams for sure. So and honestly,

323
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'd have to look to see how much

324
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: help he got. But I would have given Bobby Hart

325
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: more because when I see an offensive lineman what Bobby

326
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: did in the first half, duck. When I see an

327
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: offensive lineman duck his head and take his eyes off

328
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: targets and everything else, I see a guy that's in

329
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: a panic mode. That's just you can't pass protect anybody.

330
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: Duck in your head, bringing your shoulders and everything closer

331
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: to the defender who's got unbelievable hands and strength and

332
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: strengthen his hands and everything else. I mean, you just

333
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: you're you're beating yourself as well as him beating you.

334
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, that But it seems like from what people

335
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: were saying after the game in the offensive line, that

336
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: the Charges came out with a wrinkle with a nuance

337
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: in their in their defensive front that caused some assignment

338
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: errors assignment problems for the Bengals offensive line, and they

339
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: definitely ran the ball better, pass protected better in the

340
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: second half when they made they made adjustments, I guess

341
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: they couldn't make them as quickly as they needed to

342
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: or wanted to. When they came off after every series

343
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: in the first half when they had time to get

344
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: on a board at halftime and make some solid adjustments.

345
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: It seems like they did that. So I thought the

346
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: performance was better in the second half for sure. I

347
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: think the secondary was good. Will Jackson was very solid.

348
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: Darius Phillips gave up that one deep ball to Mike Williams,

349
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: but that's a tough matchup for him. Big guy, good downfield,

350
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles for von Bell, Jesse Bates made

351
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: a couple of plays. Kenzie Alexander was really solid. Yeah,

352
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: I thought so too. That there was a Hunter Henry.

353
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: There was an assignment era between the second level and

354
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: third level linebacker secondary where Hunter Henry gould open like

355
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: five yards when you know that's the only glaring mental

356
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: mistake ground and say WHOA, I mean, where is everybody

357
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: or anybody other than that? I thought. I thought overall

358
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: it was pretty solid as well, And I thought the

359
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: tackling wasn't atrocious, you know. I mean, these are NFL

360
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: running backs and NFL receivers are a good run after catch.

361
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they get paid a lot of money to

362
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: make you miss as much as you get paid to

363
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: tackle him. So you're gonna win some you're gonna lose them.

364
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: But I didn't think that tackling was like, oh my gosh,

365
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's horrible. I thought I thought

366
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: they got people to the ground. How can it improve? Yeah,

367
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: it can definitely improve. And I think, you know, in October,

368
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: it's going to be a heck of a lot better

369
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: than this here in the middle stages of September. I'll

370
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: tell you what does bother me about this loss? Though?

371
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: From a Bengals perspective, I don't think the Chargers are

372
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: any good. I mean, Tyrod Taylor is somewhere between the

373
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: twenty eighth and thirty second best starting quarterback in the NFL.

374
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: He's carved out a long career, God bless him, but

375
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: he's just not a good enough downfield thrower on a

376
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: consistent basis to elevate a team. He is a I

377
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: won't screw it up guy, and that was enough to

378
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: get the job done, no doubt. They ran the ball

379
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: well enough and they played good enough defense. I mean,

380
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Bradley didn't turn it over and didn't turn it over.

381
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: He took care of the football. That's his mantra. You know,

382
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna make sure that I don't give the

383
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: other team extra opportunity, these extra possessions. So defense, I'm

384
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: not going to betray you. You do your thing. I mean,

385
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: this is a good defense. Gus Bradley puts together good defense.

386
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: As you know, last year they were, you know, top five,

387
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: fourth in the NFL and against the past and scoring

388
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: pretty good defense and with a rookie quarterback and the

389
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: offensive line dealing with the adjustments they needed to deal

390
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: with with the defense or front, it took them a

391
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: half to kind of fall into a little bit of rhythm.

392
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: And you know, while all that was going on, I mean,

393
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals had big average drive start field position advantages

394
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: in the first half and two fourth down stops and

395
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: they didn't turn it over in the first half. They

396
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: had a lead, but it was nowhere near what the

397
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: lead should have been. Why Chargers defense charges defense bailed

398
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: them out and Tyrod Taylor did not betray the defense

399
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and put them in a very very bad situation where

400
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, like what happened with Joe's fumble that short

401
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: field that the Chargers took advantage and scored their touchdown.

402
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean they jumped on that opportunity and said we

403
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: can't let this go by touchdown and uh, you know,

404
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: different different ballgame at that point in time. So yeah,

405
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't think they're you know, let's put it this way.

406
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna threaten the Chiefs in the AFC West.

407
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: I know that. I mean the Kansas City, A City

408
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs are gonna have. You know, that's a different offensive

409
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: club than what the Chargers face tonight. But yeah, I

410
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: mean Cleveland gets smoked by Baltimore. I don't know what

411
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: their injury status is. The Bengal sustained some injuries tonight,

412
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, kicker, offensive lineman, defensive lineman. A short week,

413
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: how many of them they gonna have. How many injuries

414
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: does Cleveland have? And if they have injuries, where are

415
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: those injuries? And all that stuff to be determined at

416
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: this point. A thirty one yard field goal to force

417
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: over time, you gotta make that freaking kick unbelievable. Any

418
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: drilled fifty yard or they miss one from fifty. He

419
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: makes one from fifty. So he miss hit a kickoff

420
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: and they brought it back out for big field position

421
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: and then he miss hit the field goal. He had

422
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: two miss hits, both of them were critical. One of

423
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: them points should have been on the board and the

424
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: other one allowed points to get on the board in

425
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: a hotly contested football game, whereas otherwise, I mean, Darren

426
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Simmons and his group did their thing. You know, the

427
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: special teams won for the most part that phase of

428
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: the game in terms of dictating field position. And yeah,

429
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: it came down to turnovers and miss kicks and the

430
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: penalty situation. I mean, the the aj Green thing. Now,

431
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: did he push off the top of the route. Yeah?

432
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Was there a chicken fighting going on earlier? Yeah? Could

433
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: they have done an offset like they did when Jesse

434
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: Bates and which receiver was it? Was it Williams, I

435
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: can't remember who was? They both lowered their head. Keenan Allen,

436
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Yeah, Keenan Allen and Jesse Bates and they

437
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: throw the penalty flag. Then they talk about it, and

438
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: then they do over an offset do the down over

439
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: that play which should could have been a touchdown, a

440
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown. Okay, I can see not allowing that

441
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: to be a game winning touchdown, but to penalize the

442
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: Bengals when you know, I just do it, just offset it,

443
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: just like they did on the other one and and

444
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: do over see what happens now maybe now final thought,

445
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals are now oh and nine in one score

446
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: games under Zach Taylor. That's amazing. Yeah, game games decided

447
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: by eight points or less last year on eight and

448
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: this one, Like you said, the Seattle game could have

449
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: gotten off to a you know, like every I'm not

450
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: saying it would have shocked the world, but it would

451
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: have been like, WHOA, that's a big win the Bengals

452
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: going to Seattle. And then if they could have pulled

453
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: this one off today, but oh for two unopeners. We

454
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: get to do this again though in four days. Looking

455
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: forward to it we go. Here's a quick reminder to

456

Speaker 1: join Lap and Lance McCalister for Bengals Line on Monday
