And finally, it's my choice 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: for the Bengals best under the radar draft pick this year. 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you who it is and why I feel 14 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: that way, and then we'll hear from one of his 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: college coaches.

It's 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: the greatest thing since Billions. From time to time on 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: this podcast, my greatest thing since is something that I'm 22 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: watching on TV, and more often than not, it's a 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: show that's several years old that I'm finally getting around 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: to watching on demand. That's the case with the show Billions, 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: that premiered on Showtime in twenty sixteen and has had 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: five complete seasons so far. I've watched the first two 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 1: and overall I'd give it a B plus. But having 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: said that, the next to last episode of season two 29 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: is one of the best hours of TV I've ever seen. 30 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: The name of the episode is Golden Frog Time, but 31 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to call it the Ice Juice Episode. It 32 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: was so good that I wanted to immediately go back 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: and watch it again. So if you're looking for something 34 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: to watch, I can't vouch for all five seasons of Billions, 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: but the next to last episode of season two is 36 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: so good that I will strongly recommend at least watching 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: up to that point. Now, let's get to football. Before 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: we get to fun facts with Jamar Chase, here are 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: a few thoughts on the Bengal schedule that came out 40 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. We already knew that it was going 41 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: to be tough. If you go by last year's records, 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: the Bengals have the six toughest schedule in the NFL. 43 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: Nine of their seventeen games are against playoff teams from 44 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: last year. Eight of the seventeen nearly half, are against 45 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: teams that won eleven or more games. Most of those 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: games are the result of being in the AFC North, 47 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: since the Steelers, Ravens, and Browns all won at least 48 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: eleven last year. Only four of the Bengal seventeen games 49 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: are against teams that won five or fewer games last year. 50 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: The Jazz, Jets, Lions, and Broncos. We already knew who 51 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: they were going to play and where they were going 52 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: to play them. On Wednesday night, we learned when a 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: couple of things stood out to me. In the first 54 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: four weeks, the Bengals only face one team that had 55 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: a winning record last year, Pittsburgh. With home games against 56 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: Minnesota and Jacksonville and road games against the Bears and Steelers, 57 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: the Bengals have a chance to get off to a 58 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: solid start and build some early momentum, and if they 59 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: can get through their first eight games at or above 60 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: five hundred six of the bengals final nine games are 61 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: at Paul Brown Stadium. Here's hoping there's a lot at 62 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: stake when they are playing at home in December in January. 63 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: On a personal note, I don't know at this point 64 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: if I'll resume traveling this year to broadcast UC games 65 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: on Saturdays and Bengals games on Sundays. But if so, 66 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: the NFL did me a solid on a couple of weekends. 67 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: In September, UC plays Indiana on a Saturday before the 68 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: Bengals game in Chicago on Sunday, an easy four hour drive. 69 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: And in October you see plays at Navy on a 70 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: Saturday before the Bengals are in Baltimore on Sunday. That's 71 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: about as convenient as it gets. Now it's time to 72 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: get to know the person under the pads. It's my 73 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: fun facts conversation with the two nineteen bullet Nakoff Award 74 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: winner is the best receiver in college football and the 75 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: fifth overall pick in this year's draft. Time for some 76 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: fun facts with wide receiver Jamar Chase from Metaie, Louisiana. Jamar, 77 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: let's turn the clock back to when you were younger. 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: What were some of the things that you and your 79 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: buddies like to do growing up around New Orleans. Yeah, 80 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: growing up at Harvey we played basketball outside through tackle, 81 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: stuff like that, a snowball for the most part, you know, 82 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: for the most part, was always doing some type of 83 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: sports activity outside in the grass on the street. It 84 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: sounds like basketball first love. When did that change and why? Basketball? Chance? 85 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: After my high school coach recruited me to come to Rumma, 86 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: coach Gary. He recruited me at a football game in 87 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: a championship in my middle school. I think after what 88 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: he told me that day made me realize that I 89 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: want to play football. We're doing fun facts with Jamar Chase. 90 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: Your dad played college football at Alcorn State. How did 91 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: he impact your development on and off the field. I 92 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: would probably say he helped me the most part of 93 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: my preparation. For the most part, he always pushing me 94 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: through for everything, keeping my head on focus. And he's 95 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: almost like my manager the way he treats me, you know, 96 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: make sure I'm always on the right foots. So you know, 97 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: I can ask for nothing but that. Who was more 98 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: excited on Draft night? You or him? I think I was. 99 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he was. I think I was more 100 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: excited than him. So I wasn't even paying attention that much. 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 1: I was too excited myself. Jamar, you won a state 102 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: championship in the long jump when you were in high school. 103 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Did you specifically train for that or could you just 104 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: show up and win? I actually showed up and just won. 105 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: That was my first year I actually doing lun jump 106 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: and I won the state. So that was an incredible 107 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: time for me. And after I won, you know, I 108 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: started following the level rooms up. So when it came 109 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: time to pick a college, you were all set to 110 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: make the announcement on national TV at a big high 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: school showcase event at Nike headquarters out in Beaverton, Oregon, 112 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: and everything went haywire. Can you describe what happened? Well, 113 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: we just I know, I seven or seven, seven or 114 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: seventeen just finished a game right before the championship game. 115 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: This is right before the championship game. I was going 116 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: to announce my commitment and I was walking over there 117 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: with my hat and gloves. You know, everything's in a 118 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: box a lot, not letting anyone know. Um and I 119 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: get over there, you know, sit on for a minute 120 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: and then get back up and they tell me we 121 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: don't have any more space for you on the Internet live, 122 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: so we're just gonna have to catch you another time. 123 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: And you know, once I heard that, I was just like, hey, 124 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: this might not be the place of me. You know, 125 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: this might not be the sign guys given me. So 126 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: I think I need was taken out a chance. So 127 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: the hat was a TCU hat, right, Yes it was, Yes, 128 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: it was. So. TCU is completely bummed out that the 129 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: fact that you got bumped on that Internet show cost 130 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: them the best wide receiver in the country. I mean 131 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: it worked out for me the right way. I mean 132 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't change nothing about it. I mean, if I 133 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: knew the outcome at TCU, then I probably would have 134 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: a change, but I don't think I will. It worked 135 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: out great for you. It obviously worked out great for 136 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: LSU as well. You went there and your freshman year, 137 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: a quarterback shows up, the transferred in from Ohio State 138 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: named Joe Burrow. Do you remember your initial impressions of Joe. 139 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: My first time seeing Joe, Joe was a quiet dude 140 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: walking in the locker room. He didn't really say too much. 141 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: It was all about business actually. So when we then 142 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: we got on the field, Joe was show was just 143 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: out there playing football. He didn't he didn't make too 144 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: much noise, didn't he didn't say anything all the time. 145 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: He would say something when he had a correction to 146 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: what we were doing. When did you realize he was 147 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: something special? I would say my sophomore year, the summer 148 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: of my sophomore year. The way we prepared for that 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: season was just incredible. Um. I think Joe was the 150 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: main reason why, just how he leaded the team. You know, 151 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: the offense that year and it showed. So you were 152 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,679 Speaker 1: part of a tremendous receiving room at LSU with Justin 153 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Jefferson and Terris Marshall and others, and you guys started 154 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: a tradition called the Summer of ten thousand Catches. What 155 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: exactly was that the some of the ten thousand catches 156 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: were catching ten thousand balls every day, but not every day, 157 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: but as many as we can every day to ten thousand. Um, 158 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: I would not tell you that was probably the longest 159 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: ten thousand catches I've ever did in my life. Did 160 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: they even have to be footballs? Could it be a tennis? 161 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: Could it be any sort of ball? No, it was 162 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: it was only a football. Who was only doing footballs. 163 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: We would all use tennis balls to get our hand 164 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: eye coordination ready for practice. And you plan to continue 165 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: doing something similar, right, Yes, I do. I still I 166 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: still going to keep them two thousand on me. It 167 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: might not be ten thousand catches, but you know, those 168 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: would be my goals to get as high as I can, 169 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, and keep my hands consistent. We're doing fun 170 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: facts with Jamar Chase. Your sophomore year. Joe Burrow wins 171 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: the Heisman, you win the bullet and the cough LSU 172 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: wins the National Championship, and the team goes to the 173 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: White House and President Trump only mentioned one player by name, you, 174 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: and he asked, and he asked you to speak to 175 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: the crowd describe that experience. I did not want to 176 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: go up there, actually, I actually told him no. I 177 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: was a little shy going up there in front of 178 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: the White House. And I've seen all those cameras in 179 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: the media in front of me, so I was a 180 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: little scooped. Um. You know, when I got up there, 181 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: my accent came out hard heart and I didn't really 182 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: know what to say, and I was just like, how 183 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: y'all doing this? So for the most part, it was 184 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: just a cool experience to have. Before the draft this year, 185 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: there was a debate among Bengals fans about whether the 186 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: team should take you or Oregon offensive lineman Pinay Sewell, 187 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: and there was kind of a joking civil war between 188 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: team Chase and team Sewell. Did you see or hear 189 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: about that? I think I've seen one of them, the 190 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: team A Team B I've definitely seen. I've seen that. 191 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: I've seen that yesterday actually, so after I got picked, 192 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: I've seen it again. I don't think anybody is complaining. 193 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: Even the people that the thought that Piney Seul would 194 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: have been a great pick are delighted that you are 195 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: going to be a Cincinnati Bengal. You are looking sharp 196 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: on draft night, white suit, orange pocket square sneakers with 197 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: the orange and black accents. If the possibility of being 198 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: taken by Cincinnati had anything to do with your look, 199 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: it's crazy because the shoes I had on was a 200 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: lasting shopping Um. It's just so happening to come with 201 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: that with that orange on the orange and black tip 202 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: on it, and uh and my pocket square is just 203 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: a last minute call too, So everything was a real 204 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: last minute. My shoes that I wanted to wear. It 205 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: didn't come in so um, I was fine with it, 206 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: you know. I like how I look and I went 207 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: with it. Are you into fashion in general and sneakers 208 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: in particular? I am actually um Today I have on 209 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: a Jelf jumpsuit from New Orleans and some bor so 210 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: I try to address established as I can't, comfortable as 211 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: I can. Are you excited that the NFL has changed 212 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: the rules and will now allow wide receivers to wear 213 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: single digit numbers? Of course I have a chance to 214 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: get back and one in the NFL. You know, keep 215 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: that confidence, keep my mind going right and finding my 216 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: passion again, you know, and taking off with this this community. 217 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: I think I think it'd be fun. Were you going 218 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: to wear seven had you played for LSU last year? 219 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: Were you going to switch to seven? Yes? Correct, I 220 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: was gonna wear seven at LSU my last year. Yes. 221 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: And that's like a number of honor at LSU. Is 222 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: that why you would have done that for the one year? Yes? Said, 223 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: that is a number of honor. That's a big number 224 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: of l shoe you know, a show suggition, pride and 225 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: just the love of the game. Um, I think me 226 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: wearing seven would have been a big help, you know, 227 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: for LSU and myself also, Um, I just want to 228 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: leave another legacy and another number at LSU and Draft night, 229 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: I asked you about the Bengals legacy of great wide 230 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: receivers including A. J. Green and Chad Johnson, and you said, 231 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna break every record they've got. That's a bold statement. 232 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: Do you admire athletes who can talk to talk and 233 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: then back it up? Of course? I mean if you 234 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: can talk it, that's the point of you having a mouth, right, 235 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean, God gave you for a reasons, so we 236 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: need to use it.

Appreciate at the time, look 241 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: forward to watching you play. Thanks for having me. Jamar 242 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: and his fellow rookies will be on the field at 243 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: Paul Brown Stadium on Friday morning for the Bengals rookie Minicamp. 244 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: We turned from a rookie to a ten year veteran. 245 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: It's been about two months since the Bengals signed Riley 246 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: Reef to be the right tackle this year. The former 247 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: first round draft pick by Detroit spent his first five 248 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: seasons with the Lions before spending the last four with 249 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: the Vikings. Now he's leaving the NFC North for the 250 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: AFC North. And I started our conversation by turning the 251 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: clock back to March and asking why he decided to 252 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: sign on the dotted line the night after going out 253 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: to dinner with offensive line coach Frank Pollock and other 254 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: teammates and coaches. You know, I came there and I 255 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: was real impressed with, you know, the core group of 256 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: guys that had a coach Taylor. He was awesome just 257 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: being with Frank and what they had envisioned. Bryan Callahan, 258 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: I'm excited to be here. When you signed with the Bengals, 259 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: you did a conference call with Cincinnati error reporters and 260 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: you were asked about Joe Burrow and you said, I 261 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: can't wait to block for this guy. Why did Joe 262 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: make such a strong impression on you? Just as love 263 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: for the game, I mean everything, He's constantly thinking about 264 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: football down to earth guy. You know, I've kind of 265 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: watched some of his film since I've signed there, and 266 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited. I mean, I'm sure you guys are as well, 267 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: really looking forward to win a lot of games. In 268 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: addition to the ability that you bring to the offensive line, Riley, 269 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: you're a veteran, like I say, nine years of NFL 270 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: experience under your belt. This is largely a young group, 271 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: with guys like Jonah Williams on the left side. Now 272 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: Jackson Carmen's coming in as a second round draft pick. 273 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: How important is that? And who were some of the 274 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: veteran guys that helped you early in your career. Yeah, 275 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: when I first got to Detroit, I was still pretty raw. 276 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: There's guys like Jeff Backus, dam Raiola, Rob Simms, Stephen Peterman. 277 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: Guys are shareless. I mean, they're all old guys and 278 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: they helped me out tremendously and shape where I am today. 279 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm excited. There's a lot of talent 280 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: in that old line room, a bunch of good guys, 281 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm excited to join the group. Playing 282 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: offensive tackle in the NFL is hard in any division, 283 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: but I think it's especially hard in the AFC North. 284 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: When you face the Browns, you got to try to 285 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: block two guys who are the number one overall pick 286 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL draft, Miles Garrett and Jadevi and Clowney 287 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: t J. Watton. Pittsburgh led the NFL in Zachs last 288 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: year with fifteen and then you've got the Ravens. You 289 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: don't know who you have to block because they blitz 290 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: more than any other team in the NFL. Was that 291 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: a consideration at all when you elected to come on 292 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: board with the Bengals. Yeah, I mean there's a lot 293 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: of things that you look at. You know, every week 294 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL, you're going up against good guys. I 295 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: mean not saying those those guys are phenomenal pass rushers, 296 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, it's it's always a challenge and 297 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: you got to bring your best every week. The Bengals 298 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: brought back an offensive line coach this year who's widely 299 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: regarded as one of the best in the National Football League, 300 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: Frank Pollock. What had you heard about Frank over the 301 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: years and how much interaction have you had. I've had 302 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: some real close friends play for Frank, and you know, 303 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: they endorsed him, and uh, you know, when I got 304 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: to meet him coming up to Cincinnati, I fell in 305 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: love with the way he approaches the game. Um, you know, 306 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: his attention to detail, and uh, you know, I'm excited 307 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: to play for him. The Bengals drafted three offensive linemen. 308 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: When you're a veteran and you're following the draft, are 309 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: you locked in on the guys they add at your 310 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: position or are you really looking at the whole group. Yeah, 311 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: we're excited to get those guys in here, you know, 312 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: help our group out. Yeah. I kind of followed it closely, 313 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: and you know, um, the guys we brought in, they 314 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: all seem like good kids. So I'm excited to get 315 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: to work with him. As I mentioned, Riley, you spent 316 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: the last four years in Minnesota playing for a guy 317 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: who remains very popular around here from his years of 318 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: the Bengals, Mike Zimmer. Zim still has a hunting lodge 319 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: in northern Kentucky, I believe, so. I think he's in 320 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: this area quite a bit. What did Zim tell you 321 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: about Cincinnati and also about playing for the Bengals organization? ZIMU, 322 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: He's one of a kind, great guy. I love him. Um, 323 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, I actually joked, I said, what's what's the passcode? 324 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: Tier Ranch? And you know, he was like you need 325 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: to go out there. You know, you know him, you 326 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: know he loved it here in Cincinnati. Obviously he's still close. 327 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: Uh Spence offseasons here, but uh no, I'm I'm excited 328 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: to be in the Midwest. What have been some of 329 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: the highlights of your career at this point, played in 330 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: some big games in Minnesota.

When you reach the stage in 391 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: your career, you don't go to a new team unless 392 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: you feel like you've got a chance to win. What 393 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: about your interaction with the coaching staff and some of 394 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: your new teammates led you to believe that this is 395 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: a team on the rise.

I 406 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: own a ranch around here, so there's always something to 407 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: keep me busy, whether it's fence or trees or whatever. 408 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: So I stay busy.

The Bengals Booth podcast is presented 413 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: by butt Light Seltzer. It's light and refreshing with a 414 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: hint of fruit flavor. Since the draft, I've been asked 415 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of questions about the Bengals picks, including who 416 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: is your favorite under the radar selection. My choice is 417 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: fourth round pick Cam Sample, the defensive lineman out of Tulane. 418 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: Let's face it, Tulane does not get a ton of 419 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: respect in college football, but as the radio voice of 420 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: the UC Bearcats, I've seen how many outstanding players there 421 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: are in the American Athletic Conference and Sample led the 422 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: league with forty two quarterback pressures in eleven games last year. 423 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: Then he went to the Senior Bowl and earned the 424 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: top defensive Lineman award on his team. Last week on 425 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: this podcast, I was joined by the great Greg co 426 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: Sell from NFL Films and he sent me his scouting 427 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: report on Sample. Greg wrote that Cam has a relentless 428 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: and methodical explosiveness to his game, powerful and heavy hands 429 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: with constant leg drive. He added that Sample was a 430 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: fun player to watch with his high level competitiveness and 431 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: intensity and his relentless speed and velocity as a pass rusher. 432 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: For more on Cam Sample, I recently caught up with 433 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: his defensive line coach at Tulane, Byron Dawson, coach, what 434 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: are the Bengals getting in Cam Sample? Gonna get a 435 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: humbul relentless, art working, high character football player. He led 436 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: the American Athletic Conference in pressures last year. The Bengals 437 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: have struggled with their pass rush in recent seasons. How 438 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 1: do you think he projects as an NFL pass rusher? 439 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: You know, the biggest thing that I'll tell you about 440 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: Cam Sample is he's personal. So he's not just a 441 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: situational player. He's an all situational player. So he's a 442 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: guy that's going to heavy on first down, but he 443 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: also going to do a great job on third and law. So, 444 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, just looking at the way he played, he 445 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: could play the one technique to shade, he can play 446 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: around the center area, he can move out to the three. 447 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: He can play a nine technique and rush from the edge. 448 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: And he can also drop into coverage. So I think 449 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: that versatility and that great effort that you're gonna get 450 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: down after down, and that's the reason why he was 451 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 1: able to lead our conference and pressures and do a 452 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: great job just for rest in the quarterback. He went 453 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl and was named the top defensive 454 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: lineman on the American squad. What do you think that 455 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: said to NFL teams and scouts and evaluating Cam, Well, 456 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: it just showed that it translates to the best of 457 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: the best. Some people may have questioned, how does he 458 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: play versus Power five players that also played versus to 459 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: the best of the best, you know, the Senior Bowl, 460 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: that's the best of the best in college football. And 461 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: he was able to go out and used to the 462 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: same principle, used the same give things as smarts that 463 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: he used to have success in our conference, and he 464 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: had that same success versus those great players at the 465 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: Singing Bowl. So so we're really just proud of him 466 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: and and how he's represented to Lane University. What's caam 467 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: like as a teammate and as a leader, you know, 468 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: come early, stay late, high character young man. He comes 469 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: from a great family, great upbringing, very coachural. You know, 470 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: he listens and he's very detailed. He's a he's a 471 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: Fim Ratty's type of guy that have come in and 472 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: break down the opponent. And uh, like I say, he's 473 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: got great football savvy and plays with great football instinct. 474 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: He could really feel the blockers and respond to different 475 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: sects and project what type of play is going to 476 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: get free snapped. I can hear in your voice how 477 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: happy you are for him, and I get the sentence. 478 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: Not just because he's a two lane football player. Why 479 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: are you so excited for Cam? Sample because good things 480 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: need to happen to good people, and so whenever you 481 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: have somebody, they do things the right way.
