It's the greatest invention since the library. 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: I walked into my neighborhood branch of the public library 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: this weekend with my twelve year old son and said 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: to him, how cool is it that there's a place 17 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: where we can borrow any book, DVD or magazine that 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: they have for free? His response, da Dad, Like I said, 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: he's twelve. That's an increasingly common response now let's get 20 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: to the game. Since the start of the season. Here 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: are some of the Bengals players who have gone on 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: season ending injured reserve tight ends Tyler Eifert, Tyler Croft 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: and Mason Shrek, defensive lineman Carl Lawson, Ryan Glasgow, Josh 24 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: Tupo and Adolphins Washington, and linebacker Preston Brown. Then there 25 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: are the guys who don't have season ending injuries but 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: had to miss the Cleveland game, a list that included 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: aj Greene, Drake Kirkpatrick, Nick Vigil, Cordy Glenn, and Josh Malone. 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: If those thirteen names were a blur, think of it 29 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: this way. The Bengals didn't have their best wide receiver, 30 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: their best tight end, two of their three starting linebackers, 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: one of their top two cornerbacks, and their starting left tackle. 32 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: To say that injuries are just an excuse is silly. 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: The roster has been decimated. Then there are the Browns, who, 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: according to interim head coach Greg Williams, are as healthy 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: as they have been since training camp. They looked at 36 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: on their opening drive on Sunday, marching seventy eight yards 37 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: on ten plays to score. They'll line up in an 38 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: eye formation backfield, Nick chubbed the deep back, Mayfield gives 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: it to him and Chub scores. The rookie quarterback Baker 40 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: Mayfield was six for six on that drive. Here's his 41 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: former Oklahoma teammate, Jordan Evans. Do you think he has 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: given that team a confidence they didn't have before? Yeah, 43 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, I just know that's what he 44 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: brings in any lockhoom oh. That's just the kind of 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: player he's always been. That's what he was at Ou 46 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: and then this is what he brought to the Cleveland 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: And obviously you're seeing. The Bengals answered with a decent drive, 48 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: but a fifty four yard field goal attempt by Randy 49 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: Bullock was blocked, giving the Browns great field position. Four 50 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: plays later, Cleveland was in the end zone again. Shotgun snap. 51 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Mayfield looking scanning the field, moving to his left, throws 52 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: into the end zone, touchdown Calloway with the catch on 53 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: the back line of the end zone, and with one 54 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: thirty seven left in the first quarter, the Browns are 55 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: up by two touchdowns. Boy, I'll tell you it's a 56 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: hot knife through butter, There's no question about it. And 57 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: that hot knife continued to carve up the Bengals. As 58 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: the Browns third possession went ninety six yards, Mayfield catches 59 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: the shotgun snap short drop screen caught at the ten. 60 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: The Joku to the five goes airborne. He is carried 61 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: toward the goal line and he scores. Wow. Wow, unbelievable 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: effort buying Joku. He looked like he was crowdsurfing into 63 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: the end zone. Incredible. It was twenty one nothing Cleveland 64 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: here again, as Bengals linebacker Jordan Evans, that's when we 65 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: knew it was kind of ugly. Obviously we didn't lose, 66 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: no hope. He saw us coming back to his m 67 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: but yes, that's when it was a sly dang. We 68 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: got to do some right and then came in a 69 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: half Timahow makes my justustments and it came up short. 70 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: But it got worse before it got better. Third down 71 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: in three at the Cincinnati fourteen yard line, shotgun snap 72 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: blitz coming, Mayfield lobs one down the sideline. It is 73 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: a catch for a touchdown on a magnificent grab by 74 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb as he pulled it off the helmet of 75 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: the defender on the play, Brandon Wilson, and fell on 76 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: his back into the end zone for the contested catching 77 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: the touchdown. Boy, what a tremendous strow. I mean, Wilson 78 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: never found the football in the first half. Baker Mayfield 79 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: through for two hundred forty five yards with three touchdowns, 80 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: no interceptions, and a passer rating of one fifty two 81 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: point five. Here's the reigning Heisman Trophy winner after the 82 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: game the first half to you kind of feel like 83 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: your days at Oklahoma where everything was clicking at all 84 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: or now a little bit, Yeah, we're everything's even to 85 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: be working. That's the way we wanted here in Cleveland. 86 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: The Bengals finally got on the scoreboard with less than 87 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: a minute to go in the half. Three receivers out 88 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: to the left for Cincinnati. Now Ross goes in motion 89 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: to the right, mixing in the backfield at Dalton's right, 90 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: Andy back to throw his pass right thought by John 91 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Ross for a Bengals touchdown with thirty two seconds remaining 92 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: in the half, the fifth touchdown catch of the year 93 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: for Ross, twenty eight seven Browns at the break your safety, 94 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates on what you have to do when it 95 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: gets ugly. I think the biggest part is just wearing 96 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: about your self control, which you can control. I'm mean, 97 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: coming together as a team. Unfortunately, it's tough to do 98 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: that when you're down twenty eight zero. But you know, 99 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: they just gotta play play by play. At least things 100 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: couldn't get any worse, right, think again. Dalton, waiting for 101 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: the shotgun snap play clock had won. The snap goes 102 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: sailing over his head. Daltons scrambling to pick it up, 103 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: and the Browns recover it inside the ten. They scoop 104 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: up the ball and it's going to be marked at 105 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: the seven yard line. Dalton injured his thumb on the play, 106 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: went to the locker room and never returned to the sideline. 107 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: According to the NFL Network, see Rappaport. X rays were 108 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: negative and Andy's thumb isn't broken. It's too soon to 109 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: say how long he'll be out. Two plays after the fumble, 110 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: Mayfield established a new career high with his fourth touchdown. 111 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Pass second in goal from the six, Landry goes in motion, Baker. 112 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: Mayfield will drop back to throw, looking left, looks back 113 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: to the right, runs to the right, throws into the 114 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: back of the end zone a leaping catch by Darren 115 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: Fells on the back line for a Cleveland touchdown. That 116 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: made it thirty five seven. Jeff Driscoll took over at quarterback. 117 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: It actually made things interesting. Price snaps it back. Driscoll 118 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: fakes a hand off to Mix and throws it over 119 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: the middle, crossing route caught and Tyler Boyd runs into 120 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: the end zone for a Bengals touchdown, then whips the 121 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: football into the crowd after hauling in Jeff Driscoll's touchdown pass. 122 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: With a big lead, Cleveland stopped throwing the ball and 123 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: tried to run out the clock. Mayfield only attempted four 124 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: passes in the second half, and the Bengals pulled within 125 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: two scores first and goal at the two, Driscoll tries 126 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: to run a quarterback Snea Mixon shoves him from behind. 127 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: The Bengals are signaling touchdown and the officials agree a 128 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: two yard quarterback sneak for the touchdown by Jeff Driscoll, 129 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: and the Bengals have pulled within two touchdowns with seven 130 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: fifty seven to go. Driscoll went seventeen for twenty nine 131 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty five yards, one touchdown and 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: a passer rating of eighty four point seven. We scored 133 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: some points there, and you know, got some momentum gone, 134 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: and you know, I think everybody in our sideline thought 135 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: that we were going to get it done. The Bengals 136 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: had two more chances. They drove to the Cleveland twelve 137 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: yard line before a false start turned third and three 138 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: into third and eight. Two plays later, Driscoll threw an 139 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: incomplete pass to Autumn Tight on fourth down to end 140 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: the drive. Then, on the Bengals final drive, Driscoll threw 141 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: a forty six yard pass the Tyler Boyd that would 142 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: have given the Bengals a first down at the four 143 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: yard line with a minute and a half to go, 144 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: but it was wiped out by an illegal shift penalty 145 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: that basically ended the threat. Here's Driscoll. We just came 146 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: up short, and um, you know that was unfortunate there 147 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: at the end, the way that I finished, but you 148 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: know it was it was It was good to give 149 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: our team a chance when when I came in there, 150 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: and uh, obviously got a lot of things to clean up, 151 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: and you know that that'll come come down the road, 152 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm just happy the way that I 153 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: competed out there and gives chance. The final score thirty 154 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: five to twenty to end two significant losing streaks for 155 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: the Browns, a seven game head to head losing streak 156 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: against the Bengals and a twenty five game road losing streak, 157 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: allowing Cleveland to avoid tying the Detroit Lions all time 158 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: NFL record. The Bengals, on the other hand, have dropped 159 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: three straight and five out of six after a four 160 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: and one start. Here are Tyler Boyd and Jesse Bates 161 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: and where they go from here? Hate losing, you know, 162 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm very competitive guy, and uh, coming back in after 163 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: a game like that, you know, I'm hurt about, you know, 164 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: But in theday, I'm gonna continue to play. I'm never 165 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna stop play. I'm gonna give it all, no matter 166 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: what the score Births say, and I'm gonna just just 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: continue to try to do whatever I can to to 168 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: make place. Do you guys see the talent that we 169 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: have in this room, and you know the injuries that 170 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: we have. Hopefully we can get those guys back and 171 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: get them healthy. So we got five games left and 172 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna see what we're about. The Browns have had 173 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: ten straight losing seasons and are still below five hundred 174 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: this year at four six and one, But that didn't 175 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: stop them from doing some serious trash talking this week. 176 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Prior to the game, safety to Marius Randall said the 177 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: following quote. If they don't have a j green, they're 178 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: getting their blanks beat. He threw a log on the 179 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: fire during the game when he intercepted a pass, ran 180 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: over to the Bengals sideline and handed the football to 181 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: Hugh jack said. Then after the game, Baker Mayfield had 182 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: some interesting things to say about his former head coach. 183 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: Look like you had a very brief encounter I saw 184 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: before the game and then again after the game with 185 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson. Didn't have a chance to say anything to you. 186 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: If so, maybe what did he say and what was 187 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: that like? Um, he said, good job, good game. Yeah 188 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: that was brief. I didn't feel like talking you or 189 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,239 Speaker 1: him me. I don't left Cleveland, goes down to Cincinnati. 190 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just somebody that was in our 191 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: locker room asking for us to play for him and 192 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: then goes to a different team. He played twice a year. 193 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: Everybody can have their spin on it, but that's how 194 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: I feel. So you have a little bit of a 195 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: bad taste in your mouth. I mean, it's just like 196 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: any rivalry game. That's just how it is. Now, That's 197 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: how'm gonna treat it every time we play him. But 198 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: it's it's nothing, you know, there's no hate. That's just 199 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: how it is. That's how I'm gonna treat it, and 200 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: I think that's our team's treat it too. You've always 201 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: been able to find motivation and put a chip on 202 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: your shoulder and all kinds of ways. Is that now 203 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: that it's over. Did the presence of Hugh add any 204 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: of that for this game a little bit? You know, 205 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: we have a lot of guys that have history with Cincinnati. 206 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: Orson Charles was playing like a maniac today. He kept 207 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: saying that they're the people that cut him, so, you know, 208 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: and then our QB coach Kenney's mpez was there for 209 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: fifteen years, so we have history with Cincinnati. That's what 210 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: happens when you have a division rival you play him 211 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: twice a year. There's going to do that. So yeah, 212 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: but the best thing about that is our guys handled it. Well. 213 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: That's up for debate, but this isn't. The Browns won 214 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: the game and the winner gets to do the talking. 215 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: The Bengals will see them again two days before Christmas, 216 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: maybe with a few more healthy bodies. Now time to 217 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: bring him my broadcast partner Dave Lapham for postgame analysis, 218 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: and we begin with perhaps the biggest bright spot for 219 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals the play of backup quarterback Jeff Drescoll. He's 220 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: a pro, you know, he prepares like he's a starter, 221 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: even though he realizes that he may not get that 222 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: many snaps. But due to his preparation when because of injury, 223 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: and you hate for it to be that way, your 224 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: starter goes down to injury, you know, you have to 225 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: step up and you have to be ready, and he was. 226 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: And his team responded because they knew he was ready 227 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 1: once they saw him making some of the throws he 228 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: made and doing what he was doing and competing as 229 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: hard as he was competing. They all did the same thing. 230 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: He lifted the boat, you know, because it would have 231 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: been easy for Abay to get their chin on their 232 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: chest when Andy went down with the thumb injury. But man, 233 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: he lifted him. He lifted him. I heed he led 234 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: a comeback, which is significant. Thirteen play drive. I mean, 235 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: he was doing a great job of keeping the defense 236 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: off the field that was struggling. The reason their numbers. 237 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: Was so much better in the second half. Is you 238 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: know they weren't on the on the field. I mean 239 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Cleveland ran forty snaps in the first half. They went 240 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: on the field for forty snaps in the second half. 241 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean Driscoll took him on multiple you know, long 242 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: extended drives and yeah, I mean got an admire a 243 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: guy like him, and he's got skills. Dan, he can 244 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: really throw it. He was accurate with his feet and strength. 245 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: He can extend and create plays and you know, design 246 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: quarterback runs. He can do. He can do a lot 247 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: of things for you. So you know, now they get 248 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: some tape on him and it'll be a little bit different. 249 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: But he had to just execute the game plan. He 250 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: didn't run much of when Andy Dalton was getting ready 251 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Brown. So I took my cap to 252 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: the guy because it's easy to you know, talk about, 253 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: oh yeah, i'm working, I'm preparing, I'm getting ready in 254 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: case they have to play. He did it, you know, 255 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: in tough circumstances when they were getting they were getting smoked. 256 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: He came in and faced the music and brought him 257 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: back some Right now, Lap, it feels like the nightmare 258 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: that you can't wake up from the blowout Laws to 259 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City the Saints. Now this game that turned out 260 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: to be fairly closed but was twenty eight nothing at 261 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: one point in the second quarter. Yeah, it's it's really 262 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: it's not just losing games, it's how you know you're 263 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: losing games in this one in five stretch. That is 264 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: the most disturbing and disappointing to you know, fans and players, 265 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: obviously in coaches. But there's nothing you can do about 266 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: it except you know, do everything you can to be 267 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: positive and try to turn it around. I mean, if 268 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: you're dwell on negativity, it's just going to take it 269 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: down the ativity cesspool. And that's the easier said than done, 270 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: because all there's going to be in the outside is negativity, 271 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: and you know, you just have to really evaluate yourself. 272 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: And it is Dan, It's I've never seen I've seen injuries, 273 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: but I've never seen a team that has suffered more injuries, 274 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: multiple injuries at multiple positions. I mean, you can survive 275 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: an injury at positions two, three, four or whatever, but 276 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: multiple injuries to multiple positions. I mean one of the 277 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: positions to head and suffered an injuries quarterback that's not anymore, 278 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. You know, we don't know the extent of 279 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: that thumb injuries we speak right now, but man, it 280 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: could be extensive. I mean it could be the end 281 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: of the season potentially if you broke it. So, I 282 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: mean the quarterback position, running backs have you know, miss games. 283 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean there's there's not offensive line has has had 284 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, minor injury. You know, Billy Price missed a 285 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: lot of games. But I mean when you only have 286 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: like four guys in a position group and three of 287 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: them an injury reserve, like the tight ends, and you've 288 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: been hit as hard as the linebackers has been hit, 289 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: and your sign you know, three defensive linemen basically off 290 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: the street and practice squads so you can practice. I 291 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: mean you can't even give a good look. It's not 292 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: just during the games. All these injuries. The trickle down 293 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: effect is as you're prepared during the week, you don't 294 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: have enough bodies to prepare properly. So you know, it all, 295 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: it all causes issues. And you know, people can say excuses, 296 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: and yeah, you're right, I mean you can't make excuses, 297 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: but man, these are hard, cold facts of life in 298 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: the National Football League and the Bengals run, you know, 299 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: an injury hecks like I've never seen Baker Mayfield through 300 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: four touchdown passes for the first time in his NFL career. 301 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: He's got two or more in five consecutive games. He 302 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: only threw four passes in the second half. Otherwise he 303 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: could have had monster statistics in this game. I mean 304 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: his six quarter quarterback rating. The Atlanta Falcon game, he 305 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: was one fifty one point three. In the first half 306 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: of this game, he was on one hundred and fifty, So, 307 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, six quarters of play at the 308 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: quarterback position by rookie to have a quarterback rating of 309 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: over one hundred and fIF is extraordinary, It really is. 310 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, but there were a lot of wide open 311 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: vacations or vacated areas in the in the Bengal secretary, 312 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it was linebacker level, deep level. There were 313 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: things for him to take advantage of, and he did. Yeah, 314 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: he's he's a smart football player. He gets the ball 315 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: out of his hand quickly, he throws it straight, he 316 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: puts some velocity on it. He's gonna be around for 317 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: a long time. Cincinnati Bengals are looking at a Cleveland 318 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: Brown team that's ascending because of the play of the quarterback. 319 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: When you have a quarterback like that that can play 320 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: at that level in this league, you know you have 321 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: a chance. And they have a lot of other players, 322 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: and I mean, Chubb's the real deal. In the first half, 323 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: two of the four touchdowns that they made were incredible. 324 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: Chubb's catch was unbelievable, and Joeku made an unbelievable play 325 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: when he hurtled and then pushed forward and his team, yeah, 326 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: just pushed everything, pushed into the end zone. I mean, 327 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: that was a football team that wanted to end that 328 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: streak of losing on the road, and they did. They 329 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: The only thing I didn't like about the football game 330 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: was multiple times it turned a little bit nasty, and 331 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: Peppers and randall those guys. You know, hey, to the 332 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: victor goes to spoils. But you don't have to be 333 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: a jerk in being a victor. You know, be a 334 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: victor with class, don't be a victor with jerk. You 335 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: don't have to take be a jerk in victor. You 336 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: don't have to take you know, laps around the football 337 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: field and taunting the Bengals and taunting coaches on the sideline. 338 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: You know Randall gets his interception and gives it to 339 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson. You know, what are you supposed to do 340 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: something like that? I thought Huge showed a lot of class. 341 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: I would have fired it right back in his face mask. 342 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: But you know, I mean those kinds of things I 343 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: think are unnecessary. You know, I understand that you had 344 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: a long dry spell, but um, bottom line is show 345 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: class and to me, not gonna be very hard to 346 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: get it up in the bit to play up in 347 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: Cleveland because some of the things that some of these 348 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: guys did during the course of that football game I 349 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: thought didn't show enough class. Last thing, you've played on 350 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: teams where for whatever reason, things spiraled. Maybe it's injuries, 351 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: which is a big factor with this team, maybe it's 352 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: something else. How do you keep grinding for the rest 353 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: of the season. You have to realize you're a professional. 354 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's your job. You're being paid to do it, um, 355 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: and you're being paid handsomely to do it, and there's 356 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: a million millions of people that would love to have 357 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: that job, and you have to look at it. It's 358 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: not a right, it's a privilege and just go out 359 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: and do the best you can. I mean, I thought, uh, 360 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, Jeff Driscoll showed it. He got thrown into 361 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: the fire and in a situation where he wasn't really 362 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: expecting and stepped up and performed. And and you just can't. 363 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: You can't. You just can't succumb to the to the 364 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: all the all the negativity. You know, you have to 365 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: basically block it all out. It's going to be hard, though, 366 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, because if you look yourself in the mirror, 367 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: you know, if you were involved in any of those penalties, 368 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, you may cost the football team a game, 369 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 1: you know, and any mistakes that were made. You just 370 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: basically have to take care of your own business, you know. Rally, 371 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: your teammates. Try to be a positive impact, and your 372 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: teammates make sure you're not a negative impact. Don't accelerate 373 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: or continue the spiral downward. Try to be don't be 374 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: a reason for the spiral downward. Be a reason for 375 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: the turnaround and bringing it back up, you know. And 376 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: that's what that's what real pros have made out of. 377 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: That's what true pros have made out of. And you 378 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: know people are gonna say, oh, injuries, man, everybody has injuries. 379 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: That's very true.

You know this week, in practice, this game. 381 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: It's a reason. It's a fact. I mean, you can't 382 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: run and hide from facts, but it is. You know, 383 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: it's You can say it's an excuse all you want, 384 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: but they don't have near the football team. When there 385 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: were four and one, the team that they were running 386 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: out in that football field is not the team that 387 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: they're running out there now in this one in five stretch. 388 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: But everybody's got a roster spot for a reason.

So the best decision from 443 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: a lot of bulldogs in this Bengals locker room. Did 444 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: you room with A. J.

We're 450 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: doing fun facts with Cordy Glenn from Georgia. It was 451 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: onto the NFL as a second round draft pick by 452 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. You were widely projected to go in 453 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: the first round. It didn't work out that way. How 454 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: tough was that first night for you? I think it 455 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: was tough. I mean, but I think a few of 456 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: me also just you know, especially to do something that 457 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: they're not doing it and uh, just being disappointed. I mean, 458 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: I think that's that was a great motivation for me 459 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: to just like you know, saying coming to the NFL 460 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: with a certain anger and a certain light Instra drive. 461 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: You already have a drive to see how you proved. 462 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: You proved yourself that you can be in the NFL, 463 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: but didn't have something on the top of that that 464 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: was that was good for them, and I think they 465 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: helped me out a lot. So I'm from the Buffalo area. 466 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: You worked there and lived there for six years. Weather's brutal. 467 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: How did you cope with that? Being at Georgia kid, 468 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: I think I think it was a lot like initially 469 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: when I first got there, like just being in the 470 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: South all the time, and just like, oh, I'm it's 471 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: like snow everywhere. All you see a snow. But then 472 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: once I when I was once I was there later 473 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: in my career, it's kind of it was cool. I 474 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: was all kind of get more used to that than 475 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: like being in Georgia. It's kind of crazy to shovel. 476 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: Did you get a snowplow? Did you hire somebody? I 477 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: used to shovel and then uh, I guess I got 478 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: a little spoiled and I hired somebody a snowplow my 479 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: driveway area other day. There's nothing wrong with that in Buffalo, 480 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: trust me. How about chicken wings? Did you develop an 481 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: affinity for true Buffalo chicken wings. Oh yeah, definitely. Um 482 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: like dust Ankle Bar they have, they have some of 483 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: the best wings by far. I think Ankle Bar is 484 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: like famous wings spot, that's where they're supposedly in. Yeah, 485 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: but I know, like a lot of guys lately in 486 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo went the Doves. It's like the new spot, kind 487 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: of like new flavor. That's where a real Buffalonian goes, 488 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: as opposed to the anchor bar where the tourists go. 489 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: Absolutely so, Cordy got traded to the Bengals in March. 490 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: Did that come as a shock because here there really 491 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: hadn't been a lot of rumors that that might happen. Yeah, 492 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it. It was a shock. 493 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a lot going on when it 494 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: kind of when it hits you initially.
