Speaker 1: subscribing wherever you get your podcasts. It's the greatest thing

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: since Joe Burrows pregame workout. The highlight of Friday's preseason

17
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: opener actually happened two and a half hours before kickoff,

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: when the Bengals quarterback took the field with no compression

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: sleeve on his right calf and worked out for roughly

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Joe threw passes to members of the coaching

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: staff and even did some light running. It's certainly a

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: cause for optimism that Joe will be ready for the

23
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: season opener in Cleveland. We'll have more on his pregame

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: workout when I talked to Dave Lapham later in the podcast.

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: All right, time to review the preseason opener against the Packers.

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: By now, you know that Zach Taylor is not going

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: to play his starters very much, if at all, in

28
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: the preseason. The one exception on Friday night was Dax Hill,

29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: who needs snaps as he moves into a starting role

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: at safety. The Packers, on the other hand, had their

31
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: starting offense on the field for two drives for an

32
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: obvious reason after having two starting quarterbacks over the last

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: thirty one years in Brett Favan Aaron Rodgers. This is

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: the summer of Love in Green Bay, and Jordan Love,

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: who has barely played in three NFL seasons, put the

36
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: Packers on the scoreboard. First second and goal from the nine.

37
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Love hands it no fakes to Dylan sets up in

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: the pocket, cloats it into the end zone and Dubbs

39
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: comes down with a touchdown catch for the green Bay Packers.

40
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: He boxed out Sidney Jones the fourth and Romeo Dubbs,

41
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: who's six ' two two to oh four, pulled down

42
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the TD throw.

43
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: Six two two oh four and you have a matchup

44
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: against Jones at six feet point eighty one.

45
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Love was replaced by rookie Seawan Clifford, a graduate of

46
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: Saint Xavier High School in Cincinnati, and a pass interference

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: call at the goal line on Bengals cornerback Allen George

48
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: helped Green Bay take a fourteen to three lead early

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, but it didn't last after a

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: fifty one yard field goal by Evan McPherson made it

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: fourteen to six. Moneymack made all four of his field

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: goal attempts. By the way, the Bengals scored their first

53
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: touchdown of the preseason. Clifford ready catches the shotgun snap

54
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: against a four.

55
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: Man rushing on the run. See it's going to a

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: pet sex as Tyson Anderson picks it off hand sprints

57
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: to the end zone for the Bengals touchdown.

58
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: Oh Man Walker of the offensive lineman just went up

59
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: to console Clifford, who is obviously very disappointed in the

60
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: outcome of that play. I mean, Tyson Anderson, it can't

61
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: be any easier than that. That ball was just gift

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: wrap to him. Clifford gets rid of the ball, He's

63
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: under pressure and jumping the route as Tyson Anderson and boy,

64
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the pressure that came was up the middle.

65
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Dominique Davis came with an inside rush, beat the guard

66
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: and tattooed Clifford up in his chest right as he

67
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: was releasing the football. Took some juice off that Tyson

68
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Anderson undercut it and said see you later.

69
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Later in the half, Tyson Anderson had another interception as

70
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: he ripped the ball away from six five, two hundred

71
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: and fifty nine pound tight end Tucker Kraft. It was

72
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: quite a night for the speedy safety out of the

73
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: University of Toledo, who missed his rookie year with a

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Dave Lapham talked to him after the game.

75
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: Two interceptions in the first half, one of them picked six.

76
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: Take us through what you saw.

77
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: Out there, Coach lou caught a great call and we

78
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: disguised the real well and the quarterback just never seen

79
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: me and helped one of our teammates. I was just

80
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: helping him recover and just made a great player finished through.

81
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: You jumped that route pretty darn strong, and Dominic Davis

82
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: had a pretty good rush. I'm not sure if you

83
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: saw the replay on it or not, but he pretty

84
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: good hit right in the quarterback's chest and you jumped

85
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: that thing, and it was when you intercepted it all

86
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: your I was green, I guess, huh yeah.

87
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: All I said was the end zone. Really, the quarterback

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: wasn't really chasing me, so I just kind of ran

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 4: to the left as far as I could knew nobody

90
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: was catching me once I got the ball.

91
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: What about the second interception? What'd you see there?

92
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: We just again, Coach Lou keep calling great calls. We

93
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: were in a cover cover three zone. He ran a

94
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 4: little stick route right on the sticks and seeing the

95
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 4: quarterback throw, broke on it and it was just a

96
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: competition for the ball and I came down with it.

97
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: So in the secondary, you guys have so much speed

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: you can run I mean, safety's corners. Everybody runs like

99
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: sub four four it seems like, I mean, and also

100
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: teams speed and smarts. It seems like you can run

101
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: and everybody's intelligent. Back there. That's a pretty pretty good one.

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Two punched. You guys are gonna have a good year

00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: back there.

104
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, for sure. We just got to continue to

00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 4: just stack days and sky's the limit for this group.

106
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: Just continue to communicate and just do our our five

107
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 4: things that we pride ourselves on doing. Just being playmakers,

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: finishing the ball, having a lot of effort flying around,

109
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: communicating a plant smart.

110
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: Lou Anroumo, what's it like playing for a guy? Uh?

111
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: That good? As a defensive coordinator? I mean, you feel

00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: the trust between you guys, trust him, he trusts you.

113
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: It's gotta be a pretty good feeling.

Speaker 4: No, Yah's for sure, trust level on both sides, both sides.

Speaker 1: Anderson's second I int came with one oh four left

133
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: in the half and the Bengals leading sixteen fourteen. They

134
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: were in field goal range, but Jake Browning threw a

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: pass that was two for Shdick Jackson, and he tipped

136
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: it into the hands of Green Bay rookie Carrington Valentine

137
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati s. Moeller High School. Twenty five seconds later,

138
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the Packers took the lead for good. Twenty five seconds

139
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: left in the half. Clifford and the gun back at

00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Davis, one of five tight ends on the roster,

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: makes the catch for the Packers touchdown. The Packers' offense

143
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: wound up scoring five touchdowns, including an eighty yard run

144
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter by undrafted rookie Emmanuel Wilson. The

145
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: Bengals offense didn't score any tds, but there were some

146
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: bright spots, including a four catch debut for six round

147
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: draft pick Andre Yosi Vash. Here comes a blitz, Simeon

148
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: gets rid of.

149
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: It, pits Yosi Vosh get on a crossing route, breaks

150

151
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: of bounds at Packers territory at the forty eight yard line.

152
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Fifty party flagged down the offense to backfield.

153
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: It's going to be rough from the quarterback.

154
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Yosi Vosh just missed the touchdown as he hauled in

155
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: a twenty five yard pass in the end zone and

156
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: got his right foot down, but the tip of his

157
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: left foot landed on the sideline. I spoke to him

158
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: after the game, Andre four catches fifty yards in your

159
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: NFL preseason debut, and if your feet were a little

160
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: bit smaller, you might have had a touchdown catch.

161
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

162
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I just got to hold the space

163
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 5: there on that one. But you know, everything is a

164
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: work in progress, so I'm just happy I got to

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: be out there. I'm just making place.

166
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: What stood out to you about your first taste of

167
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: real NFL action.

168
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's really fast. You know, practice was fast,

169
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 5: but the game is a lot faster and I mean,

170
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 5: I just got to you had to all slow down

171
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 5: and just let the game come to me instead.

172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 6: Of trying to rush these enforcements.

173
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: So with all coming with time. So I think this

174
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: is a really good experience.

175
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: For mere Chatting with Andrea Yosi Vosh, you were targeted

176
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: ten times? Did you find that out a good surprising

177
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: that they can do that much?

178
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: Not really, you know, I mean, if it's a one

179
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: on one matchup, I feel like those guys trust me

180
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 5: to make plays and things like that, So it wasn't

181
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 5: really surprise, and I was glad that they think were

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: the ball that anytime it shows shows a good traits.

183
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the near touchdown catch. Have you

184
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: seen a replay? How would you describe your attempt to

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: get both feet down inbounds.

186
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was pretty tight, I think, Yeah,

187
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: I mean I think my second foot landed, Priory could

188
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: be right on the line by as close as the

189
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 5: line as you can. But you know, I'll make that

190
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 5: play next time it comes around.

191
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: This is a big moment for any rookie. I think

192
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: twenty Bengals rookies saw their first taste of NFL action.

193
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: Was it but thrill even though it's a preseason game.

194
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you just want to go out there

195
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: and execute. It was definitely exciting that the stadium was

196
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 5: really packed. The fans were allowed, so there's a fun

197
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: environment to be in and you know, get to get

198
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 5: the work and.

199
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: You get to do it another week in Atlanta.

200
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,359
Speaker 5: Yup, can't wait. I'm super excited, so onto.

201
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: The next you rats on a good first performance.

202
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 6: Thank you.

203
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Another Bengals rookie right back Chase Brown, got the ball

204
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: eleven times and showed off his speed. Simy In catches

205
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: the shotgun snap against the four man rush, bouncing in

206
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: the pocket, dumps it off check down to Chase Brown.

207
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: Look at him go as he hits the accelerator, runs

208
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: inside the twenty, and the rookie out of Illinois gets

209
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,239
Speaker 3: tackled at the eighteen twenty one yards on the checkdown

210
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 3: to Chase Brown and.

211
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: The Bengals enter the paramount plus red zone. Brown finished

212
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: with twelve yards rushing in thirty three yards receiving. It

213
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: feels like your heart is still racing from the excitement

214
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: of being out there.

215
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 6: Is that the case, Yeah.

216
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: A little bit.

217
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 6: I mean it's my first NFL game and I just

218
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 6: i just think back on it right now, like, man,

219
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 6: my god, I could have been better. So that's just

220
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 6: my mindset phoner this week, and you know that's gonna

221
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 6: be mine. My theme is just no being better this week.

222
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 6: And you know, rolling into Atlanta, you.

223
00:10:54,559 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 7: Know, okay, this more.

224
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 6: Prepared more Not that I wasn't prepared this night, but

225
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 6: you know, there's just it's like your first game. Now

226
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 6: you get the shakes a little bit, and you know,

227
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 6: now I got that first game under my belt, so

228
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 6: just you know, building confidence or not and going in

229
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 6: the next week better.

230
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: People don't remember scores from preseason games, stabs from preseason games,

231
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: but when it's your first, it's something you'll never forget, right, no.

232
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no no no.

233
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 6: But I mean these these are important for everybody that

234
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 6: had the opportunity to play tonight, and you know, just

235
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 6: being able to to to be better to go into

236
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 6: next week into these practices is what's most important.

237
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: It sounds like you wish the Atlanta.

238
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: Game is tomorrow night.

239
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 6: Man if it was, I'd be excited, But I mean

240
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 6: it just we just have some time to flush the film,

241
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 6: you know, learn from our mistakes and just you know,

242
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 6: be better as a as a group to come.

243
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Up with the Winns have the twenty one yard gain

244
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: on the screen feel or check down feel, Yeah.

245
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 6: I mean that's gonna just do my job. It's pretty

246
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 6: wide open, just gonna make one person miss. I'm just

247
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 6: barely just doing my job.

248
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: Man, he made a miss badly. That seemed like he

249
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: didn't quite realize how much speed number thirty had for six.

250
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'm coming with I'm coming with power.

251
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 6: I'm coming with speed, and it's just you know, I

252
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 6: knew I had to play to make there. So it's

253
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 6: just like I said the day, I'm just doing my job.

254
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,200

260
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: score was thirty six to nineteen green Bay. The Bengals

261
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: falled to three and eight in preseason games under Zach Taylor,

262
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: who prioritizes keeping his starters healthy over getting them snaps

263
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: and games that don't count. He spent a couple of

264
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: minutes with Lap after the game.

265
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: In every single football game, there's gonna be guys that

266
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,479
Speaker 2: put forth good performances. I mean, Tyson Anderson two interceptions

267
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: and a half, pretty good, pretty good performance right there.

268
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: One of the guys jump out at you. I know

269
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: you haven't had time to you anything, take a look

270
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: at anything. Dominique Davis to me, I mean he had

271
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: a good pass rush on Tyson's interception. He comes up

272
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: with a funbell recovery after a hit on another sacks,

273
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 2: I mean sack you had. You had some guys that

274
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: stepped up and made some places.

275
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, some guys flash like that. You know you'll you'll

276
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 8: have a chance to consume the whole tape to see

277
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 8: how the whole performance looked. But I did think Dominic

278
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 8: Davis showed up and made some key plays for us.

279
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 8: Tyson obviously, those are two really good interceptions. One of

280
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 8: them is in contested play he took away. The other

281
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 8: one he jumps to play and scores. So h those

282
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 8: should be big momentum changers for us, and we didn't

283
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 8: do enough to capitalize on him.

284
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: What's it like when a coach like yourself and sh Walters.

285
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: You see that all right? You want yo see Vosh,

286
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: who's a real good talent to get his hands extended,

287
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: to use that big body a little bit more instead

288
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: of letting the ball come to his body. And he's

289
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: done a really good job of that and it translated

290
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: in the game. He came close on a couple of

291
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: real big plays and contested catches, but he had the extension.

292
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: I thought he played really well and he gave a

293
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: lot of effort.

294
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 8: I saw some good things from him, you know. The

295
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 8: quarterbacks found a way to target him, and he made

296
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 8: some big plays, good catch up to the run, almost

297
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 8: had a good touchdown. You don't want to contest down

298
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 8: there on the go round the end zone. So those

299
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 8: were good things to see from under.

300
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: So red zone. Obviously, they scored in the red zone

301
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: with regularity. The red zone only got there I think

302
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: once and settled for a field goal. That had to

303
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: be disappointing a little bit.

304
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, we had penalties that knocks us back. I didn't

305
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 8: think overall we were disappoint enough as a team. You know,

306
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 8: really you look at the first punt return we had.

307
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 8: We had a great return to the twenty five yard line,

308
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 8: we get a clip, so then we lose the field position.

309
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 8: We then punt to him, we give them a we

310
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: getting off side and give him a free first down.

311
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 8: They score a touchdown a couple of plays later. So

312
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 8: I just didn't think we were disciplined enough overall.

313
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: So what what did you take out of this football game?

314
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: I mean, did you see guys when they had a

315
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: bad play or some thing that went wrong. Were they

316
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: able to compartmentalize and move on? And that's what you

317
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: have to do in the NFL. There's going to be

318
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: some ups and downs in the NFL. That's just life

319
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, and young guys have to learn,

320
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, forget about that and let's go get something done.

321
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 8: I think the simplest thing is just the discipline. You know,

322
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 8: if we can eliminate the turnovers that put us in

323
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 8: really bad positions, and again, just simple things. Just be

324
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 8: where you're supposed to be. You know, I'm really in

325
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 8: all three phases, and those are things that we can

326
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 8: easily correct going to the next game. We're gonna really

327
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 8: emphasize them next week and be much better against seth Ana.

328
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: Did you see a lot of times with young guys,

329
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: it's trying too hard. I mean, you know, it's like

330
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: I want to try to go make a play. I'm

331
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: going to leave the crop that I'm supposed to harvest

332
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: and go try to get a little piece of this

333
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: crop over here. Did you see any of that?

334
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 8: We'll have to say, you know, that'll be better for

335
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 8: me to answer. I have to watch the tape up next.

336
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: A road game in Atlanta next Friday night. The Falcons

337
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: opened the preseason with a nineteen to three win over Miami.

338
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: Starting quarterback Desmond Ritter did not play for Atlanta. Former

339
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: Bengals draft pick Logan Woodside went the distance at QB.

340
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,360

344
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: lat People generally don't remember the score of preseason games

345
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: or the stats of preseason games. For the guys who

346
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: played in their first NFL game tonight, it's a memory

347
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: that they'll have forever.

348
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: No question. And you know some young players not their

349
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: first game, but Tyson Anderson, for example, with two fumble

350
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: recoveries to your picks, excuse me, two interceptions in a

351
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: half of a football game. I asked him if it

352
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: never happened to him at any level. He was new.

353
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: He made his soling, not even any game, but definitely

354
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: note and a half, and he's keeping one of the

355
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: footballs and he's given the other one to his parents,

356
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: so he's a happy young man. Dominique Davis involved a

357
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: couple of the turnovers as well. I mean, those are

358
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: things that those guys will remember because you know, they

359
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: haven't had much playing time in the National Football League

360
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: at this stage. Josie Vash worked his tailoff. I mean,

361
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'd have to check the GPS, but

362
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: special teams and running rouse. This dude ran all night long.

363
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: He may have to have a recovery day.

364
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: He needs a smaller foot. If he had a slightly

365
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: smaller foot or smaller shoe, he would have had a

366
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: touchdown catch.

367
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty good play. I mean the way

368
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: he twisted his body and just barely you know, missed

369
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: out on that touchdown. I would have been good for

370
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 2: him to get that, to get rewarded for that but

371
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: I think the thing that you got to like about

372
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: a guy like him is he takes coaching so well.

373
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he was having some issues at getting extension

374
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: using the big body that he has his advantage, and

375
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: getting his arms extended catching the football. He was letting

376
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: the ball come to his body more. And the coach

377
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: has said, look, you know only has six foot three

378
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 2: with some range and length used it, and he's used it.

379
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: You don't have to tell intelligent guy like him something

380
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: more than once. And he's coachable, and he's extremely athletic.

381
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: There's no question about that.

382
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: DJ Turner has received a lot of attention this training camp.

383
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: I thought he played well. Four tackles, including two tackles

384
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: for loss. You mentioned Yosi Vash He had four catches.

385
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: Chase Brown handled the ball eleven times. He had a

386
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: twenty one yard catch on a check down. This rookie

387
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: rookie class showed pretty well in their first taste of

388
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: NFL preseason action.

389
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: They did they showed they belonged, you know, no question

390
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: about that. The game boiled down to third down. Green

391
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: Bay was better. Red zone. Green Bay was dramatically better.

392
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: Four touchdowns in the red zone. The Bengals getting the

393
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: red zone once and you know, settle for a field goals,

394
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: so you can't lose the red zone battle that significantly

395
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: and expect to win a football game. And really the

396
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: touchdown was on a on a defensive score, so it's

397
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: you know, gonna there's miles to go before they rust.

398
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot of work that needs to be done.

399
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: But it's never as bad as you think it is,

400
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: and it's never as good as you think it is,

401
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: particularly preseason game number one. I mean, you look and

402
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: look at the tape, and if you didn't look at

403
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: it in sequence, you know I'd be this. This was

404
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: a competitive environment, but too many penalties, lack of red

405
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: zone execution, third down inefficiency, all that all that added

406
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 2: up to to losing a football game.

407
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Neither quarterback played particularly well. I thought Browning was better

408
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: than Simon, but the protection was better for Browning, So

409
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: it's really hard to knock Simeon when he was dealing

410
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: with free runners and pressure that was not quite as

411
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: bad for Jake Browning.

412
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, and all that has to be taken

413
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: into account. Simeon when he wasn't spinning away from he

414
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: was getting rid of the football just before you know

415
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 2: contact was coming and you know that's the Green Bay Packers.

416
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: They ended up figuring things out free Runner. I don't

417
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: know it was because they were a man short and

418
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: protection because they had such a limited game plan going

419
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: into the game. There really wasn't a game plan. It

420
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: was keep it simple so players could be confident and

421
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: play real fast. Well in some cases that may have

422
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 2: let them down not having enough blockers or maybe you know,

423
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: there was a call that wasn't made properly at the

424
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage to pick up that free runner. So

425
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: all that has to be sorted out and worked through,

426
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 2: and it's going to get going to get dramatically better,

427
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: there's no doubt.

428
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: So the real story of this game was what happened

429
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: before the game. Yea much earlier before the game, as

430
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow came out onto the field for a pretty

431
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: rigorous pregame workout. He threw pass to members of the

432
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff. He ran, although I wouldn't describe it as sprinting,

433
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: but it wasn't a jog. He was running pretty aggressively.

434
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: I saw him exit the stadium with Sam Hubbard. Seemed

435
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: to be in good spirits. So if you could have

436
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: one thing happened today, of anything, it wouldn't be a

437
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: dominant win over the Green Bay Packers. It would be

438
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: a sign that Joe Burrow is going to be AOKA

439
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: in time for the season opener against the Cleveland Browns.

440
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: And this was a positive step forward.

441
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact that he didn't have anything on that calf.

442
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: You know, there was no sleeve, there was no compression sock,

443
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: there was none of that kind of thing. So you

444
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: could see that bruising was reabsorbed. I mean it had

445
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: pretty much gone away, and that's what's allowed him to

446
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 2: do the things that he was doing out there. I

447
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: think the Wednesday practice that he attended it was probably

448
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: an impetus. I think it was like, oh man, I

449
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: get to get out and start doing something. This has

450
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: driving me crazy.

451
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: As long as the doctors and trainers said it's okay.

452
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: Exactly, and they were all out there, the trainers were,

453
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, making sure that he didn't do too much.

454
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 2: But it would not surprise me if next week he throws,

455
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 2: and he throws more than one day. I'm not saying

456
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: necessarily Monday or Sunday.

457
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: Now when you say throws with linemen and receivers or

458
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: just off to the side, throwing the receivers.

459
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: Off to the side. I don't think he's gonna do anything,

460
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: you know, in terms of out on the football field

461
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: helmet and shoulder pads kind of thing. But I think

462
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: now that he has started to throw, I think he's

463
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: going to ramp it up. You know, he's going to

464
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: continue to throw. And it wouldn't surprise me that he

465
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: goes into some sort of a routine where every single

466
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: day if there's no setbacks, you know, like, what if

467
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: there's a setback tomorrow morning he wakes up, It's like, man,

468
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: maybe I did a little too much. If he ever

469
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: feels that he has to shut it down, back off

470
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: and shut it down because you do not want to

471
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: re exacerbate injury it because it's always worse that second

472
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: time goes. It goes to a point where it was

473
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: worse than when you first heard it. That seems to

474
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: be the way those calf issues are. I mean, they

475
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: can be lingering, so but he continues to wrap it up.

476
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean love to see him. He's not going to

477
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: play in any preseason games. I don't think he was

478
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: gonna anyway. That's not going to happen. But what if

479
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: he was able to practice before the last preseason game

480
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: for a day or two, and then when they come back,

481
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: they don't have a game, they have a week off,

482
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: but that any work that they do, the workdays that

483
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: they do, he's out there doing as much as he

484
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: possibly can on those work days, and then the following

485
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: week goes to a regular week of practice and gets

486
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: ready for the Cleveland Browns. I could see that as

487
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: a possibility.

488
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: I think that's the best case scenario. This happened two

489
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: weeks ago, fifteen days ago. If he's out for two

490
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: more weeks, which would be four weeks since the injury,

491
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: that would still give him two weeks before the season

492
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: open or the season opener's thirty days away.

493
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: And watching him throw today, I mean, he's he's able

494
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: to He's able to put some torque on the football,

495
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: you know, so in the and the thing is he

496
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: has kept up with all the mental rep stuff, and

497
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: like we talked about before, he did get a ton

498
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: of reps in in July, you know, and and uh

499
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: so losing just a little bit of time that he lost.

500
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: It's not ideal, but it's not you know, something that's

501
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: going to like cost him. You know he's not going

502
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: to be the same guy going out there and playing quarterback.

503
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: I can see though a school of thought too, where

504
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 2: you know, it's like, okay, depending on how all of

505
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: this goes. I mean, if there's if he keeps progressing,

506
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: doing more and not having any setbacks playing, we're talking

507
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: about fine. If there's any minor thing, shut it down,

508
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: miss week one. You know, don't, don't push it. But

509
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: the way he look today is extremely encouraging, and you

510
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: think that Jayz, you know, maybe you can you can

511
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: add to that workload. He's young, he's in great shape,

512
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: He's a quick healer. He's shown that before. Hopefully, hopefully

513
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: now he's on a track where he'll be able to

514
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: go against the Cleveland Browns because we need all hands

515
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: on deck, particularly that hand, need that most important major

516
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: hand on deck up there in Cleveland.

517
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: Like we said, he wasn't sprinting before the game tonight,

518
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: but he was running. I would describe it as running

519
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: that shocks me. I did not expect that to happen

520
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: fifteen days after that injury.

521
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: I agree. Now the final thing is the explosion. You

522
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: know you're in the pocket and you have to push

523
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: off that foot, you know, on that foot attached to

524
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: that calf and really push off and it is his

525
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: right calf. So when he has to say he has

526
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: to get out of pocket and plant that foot and

527
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 2: torque his body and throw down the football field. All

528
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: of those kind of things that that is a much

529
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: different dynamic than even sprinting. Just run in a sprint

530
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: across the football field. Those kind of things where your

531
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: body has to has to adjust and still be able

532
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: to be real strong when you're exploding and being sudden,

533
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: you know in your movements. That's the final test.

534
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: Thanks for looking up.

535
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you I'd give him an a plus on

536
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: his first test.

537
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 6: He looked good.

538
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: He looked really good.

Speaker 1: where you get to know the person under the pads.

545
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: Time for some fun facts with quarterback Reed Senate from Johnston, Iowa,

546
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: not too far from des Moines population roughly twenty four

547
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: thousand or so. I'm from a small town in New

548
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: York State. Our claim to fame is that luci Olle

549
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: Ball is from there. Does Johnston, Iowa have any sort

550
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: of claim to fame?

551
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 7: Ooh, we have a nfler named Quinn Satanowski who was

552
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 7: a long snapper on a tight end for the Baltimore

553
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 7: Ravens for probably two or three years. We have a

554
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 7: hybrid seed company that was known as Pioneer when I

555
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 7: was there, So, you know, a lot of the really,

556
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 7: really good corn was getting grown in the town that

557
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 7: I'm from. So other than that, though, I don't know

558
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 7: that there's a lot of excitement in Johnston, Iowa.

559
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we've learned some important nuggets about Johnston.

560
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like you are from a very athletic family.

561
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: I read that your dad was walk on basketball player

562
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: at Kansas. Your mom has a background as a sports writer.

563
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: Were you obsessed with sports growing up?

564
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 7: I was, but I was only obsessed with playing them.

565
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 7: You know, we watched Kansas basketball in North Carolina basketball,

566
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 7: but I wasn't a professional sports fan, So I was

567
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 7: obsessed with playing ball in the yard and coming up

568
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 7: with games and doing it that way. But you know,

569
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 7: watching sports has been something that I found to enjoy

570
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 7: more as I've gotten older. But I'll still try to

571
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 7: get my buddies play foot ball and do things like that,

572
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 7: and they look at me like we're grown men. You know,

573
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 7: we don't need to be doing that.

574
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: Well, you are definitely a grown man. You're six four

575
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: two twenty five. Were you the biggest most athletic kid

576
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood growing up?

577
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: Not at all.

578
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 7: I was a late bloomer, so you know, I was

579
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 7: always taller and maybe bigger than some of the buddies

580
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 7: that I hung out with. But my athletic prime I

581
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 7: don't think probably came till my fourth or fifth year

582
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 7: in college even And you know, I still think I'm

583
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 7: on an upward trajectory, so I still think there's room

584
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 7: for growth on that front.

585
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: We're visiting with quarterback reed senate. I read that you

586
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: were not the starting quarterback in high school until your

587
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: senior year. Now Ben Roethlisberger can say the same thing,

588
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: but it is it's an underdog story to make it

589
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: to the NFL, and that's the case.

590
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I started one year in high school. I was

591
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 7: playing more baseball than I was football at that time.

592
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 7: You know, I was committed to play in other sports.

593
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: I wasn't doing camps and things like that, so recruiting

594
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 7: was an uphill battle. And then I only started one

595
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 7: year in college too, at the University of San Diego,

596
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 7: playing behind Anthony Lawrence was a two time conference Player

597
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 7: of the Year and ended up having a good career

598
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 7: over in Japan. But I think it's being able to

599
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 7: take advantage of opportunities when they come, and I think

600
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 7: I've learned how to, you know, be the best at

601
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 7: my role on the team, and I think there's there's

602
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 7: a role for that at this level as well.

603
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: What was living in San Diego like after growing up

604
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: in Iowa.

605
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 7: I was unbelievable, a little bit of culture shock, but

606
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 7: I grew quickly into my rainbow sandals, and you know,

607
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 7: picked up a surfboard a couple of times. I can't

608
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 7: say that I'm any good, but I lived a couple

609
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: of years at the beach and it's really hard to

610
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 7: beat that, I can tell you now.

611
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: I read that you were almost an Ivy leaguer before

612
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: you chose the University of San Diego.

613
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 7: You did your research. I thought I was going to

614
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 7: go to Penn That was kind of my dream school.

615
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 7: I remember my senior year of high school. Senior first

616
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 7: day of senior year, everybody wore the shirt of what

617
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 7: school they were going to go to, and I wore pinnshirt,

618
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 7: thinking that was going to be home for me. And

619
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 7: the coach there told me to call Tanner instran at

620
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 7: the University of San Diego, and I called him probably

621
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 7: four or five times and he never called me back.

622
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 7: I'll never forget my dad telling me the living room,

623
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 7: like call him one more time, like just call him,

624
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 7: like he doesn't want to talk to me, And he

625
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 7: finally picked up and he's like, come on a visit.

626
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 7: You know, I got a chance to make the team

627
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 7: that fall, and you know a lot of dominoes fell

628
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 7: in my direction since then.

629
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: So you finally got to start as your as a

630
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: senior as you pointed out, and had a great year.

631
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: Did you start to think the NFL was realistic possibility?

632
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 7: H Dale Lindsay, our head coach. After my freshman camp

633
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 7: and Jacques's are they said to me that they thought

634
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 7: I could play in the NFL. And I remember telling

635
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 7: some of my buddies from home that and then giving

636
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 7: me a hard time like you're at the University of

637
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 7: San Diego, man like relax, and those two people, definitely,

638
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 7: you know, gave me some you know, confidence behind the scenes.

639
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 7: That that made me feel like I was working towards something.

640
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 7: And that year I felt like I was going to

641
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 7: be able to show that I was an NFL player.

642
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 7: And my great friend Michael Bandy was the reason that

643
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 7: scouts were coming to watch us, and I think I

644
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 7: gave him a reason to come around a second time.

645
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: So after your college career, you signed as a college

646
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was Tom

647
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: Brady's first year there, so you went through training camp

648
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: learning from the goat, being in a quarterback room with

649
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: the goat. What was that experience like?

650
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 7: It was amazing. A lot of people ask, you know,

651
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 7: what's he like? And I think he's everything that everybody

652
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 7: thinks he is. He's a fantastic person. He was really

653
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 7: supportive of me and in little moments, you know, gave

654
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 7: me some confidence. Even though I wasn't getting a ton

655
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 7: of reps. He was really valuable for my development. You know.

656
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 7: I was able to ask him questions and we would

657
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 7: sit and eat lunch together, and I would just watch

658
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 7: him watch tape. You know, there wasn't a lot of

659
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 7: discussion in there, but you know, he allowed me to

660
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 7: kind of hover around and see how he went about

661
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 7: his business. And I definitely learned a lot about being

662
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 7: a professional from him.

663
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: If you ate lunch with him on a regular basis.

664
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: What was he eating?

665
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: Ah, it was funny.

666
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 7: He was a big fan of the Sweet Baby Rays

667
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 7: barbecue sauce. And he was joking that the Avacada ice

668
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 7: cream and his diet stuff got blown out of proportion

669
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 7: because he did love that Sweet Baby Rays.

670
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: All Right, I feel like we've we've broken news here.

671
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady actually ate one thing that wasn't, you know,

672
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: incredibly healthy. So you've got three years of NFL experience

673
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: under your belt, practice, squad time, time on the roster

674
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: as a number three quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles. How

675
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: do you improve under those circumstances Because you're not getting

676
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: a ton of reps during practice.

677
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 7: It's challenging, and I think it's part of being able

678
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 7: to take advantage of opportunities when they're presented to you.

679
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 7: Coach Floras when I was in Miami, gave me a

680
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 7: lot of walk through reps and so those were my

681
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 7: super Bowl every day, you know, going against that defense

682
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 7: and trying to make things work and learning how the

683
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 7: defense worked. It made me I learned a ton in that.

684
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 7: You know, Philadelphia was a different organization. I didn't get

685
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 7: as many hands on reps and so you know, felt

686
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 7: like I was doing a lot of learning behind the scenes.

687
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 7: And it's part of the challenge of not being a

688
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 7: starter in the NFL, and it's something that you kind

689
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 7: of have to overcome and take what you can get.

690
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 7: I feel like in the preseason especially, I've been able

691
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 7: to take advantage of the opportunities I get, and that's

692
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 7: going to be I think the story of my career

693
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 7: is am I able to take advantage of those preseason

694
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 7: reps and you know, show thirty two teams that I

695
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 7: can play and keep getting opportunities like this or you know,

696
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 7: figure out how it goes from there.

697
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: We're chatting with quarterback Read Senate. So the XFL had

698
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: a season this past spring. There were some prominent quarterbacks

699
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: in that league, including former Bengal AJ McCarron. Great opportunity

700
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: to play in games and you broke your foot YEP

701
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: how tough was that.

702
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 7: It was challenging. You know, I think the XFL was

703
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 7: definitely a learning experience for me. You know, getting hurts

704
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 7: always a challenge, but it's something that I had already

705
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 7: had in my other foot, so you know, the injury

706
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 7: wasn't something new to me. I kind of knew what

707
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 7: was going to come with it, but feeling like I

708
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 7: maybe missed out on chances this summer to you know,

709
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 7: show that I could play, learn a new offense. Those

710
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 7: things are things you have to take in stride. And

711
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 7: so now I'm I'm here in the opportunity that I

712
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 7: think could have been the best for me, and so

713
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 7: trying to take it as much as I can.

714
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: So when Joe Burrow injured his CAF at the beginning

715
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: of training camp, the Bengals had a couple of quarterbacks

716
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: try out and show to sign you. And some fans

717
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: might have said, that name sounds familiar. Where do I know,

718
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: reed Senate? And sure enough, if you go back to

719
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: the preseason two years ago, you let him up for

720
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty three yards. He threw a miraculous

721
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: roughly forty yard touchdown pass and fourth and fifteen with

722
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: less than a minute and a half to go. Are

723
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: your teammates aware of that? Has anybody said, hey, I

724
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: remember that game?

725
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 7: Yeah a little bit. That was a really fun experience,

726
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 7: and I think, you know, like I was talking about

727
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 7: taking advantage of opportunities, and it's the only game I've

728
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 7: gotten to start at this level. I got in here,

729
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 7: I got signed, and I was kind of finishing stuff

730
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 7: up in the training room, and you know, Joe was

731
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 7: kind of doing some of his rehab and I just said, hey, man,

732
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 7: I'm reading he's like read senate preseason twenty or preseason

733
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 7: game three, twenty twenty one. I remember that, and so

734
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 7: it's funny we've gone back and forth a little bit

735
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 7: about that. You know, I joked with him. I got

736
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 7: home after that game and was, you know, obviously ride

737
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 7: and high. I felt like there wasn't anything else I

738
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 7: could do to make the team. And ESPN turned it

739
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 7: on Sports Center the Hours, turn it over and they

740
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 7: flashed Dolphins Bengals, and I'm like, are they sweet? I

741
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 7: might get to see some highlights And they showed ju

742
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 7: Jamar Chase drops and Joe Burrow throwing a screen for

743
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 7: minus two, and then it flashed the final score whatever Dolphins.

744
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 7: I don't even remember what the final score was, and

745
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 7: then at the bottom it said Joe Burrow won for

746
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 7: three minus two yards, so I can't even get a

747
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 7: stat line. So you know, that brought me back to

748
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 7: reality pretty quick. And you know, I had to joke

749
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 7: with Joe about that, and he's been fantastic. So it's

750
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 7: a it's been a fun quarterback room for sure.

751
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: All Right. A couple of wild card topics for quarterback

752
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: reed Senate. Who is your childhood athletic hero?

753
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 7: Tyler Hansbrough of the North Carolina basketball team. I felt

754
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 7: like I resonated with the set picks and rebounds and

755
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 7: get you know, offensive rebounds to score baskets. That was

756
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 7: kind of my basketball game. So Tyler Hansbrough was my guy.

757
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: If you could meet anybody in history, athlete, entertainer, famous, politician,

758
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: whoever it might be, who would that person be?

759
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 6: Hmm.

760
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 7: The first person that came to my head was Abraham Lincoln.

761
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 7: I was, you know, reading some books that are talking

762
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 7: about leadership and things like that, and a lot of

763
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 7: things come back to him and his ability to you know,

764
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 7: be kind of people remember people's names, the way that

765
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 7: he interacted with people and obviously let our country through

766
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 7: a really important time. I think he would be a

767
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 7: really fascinating person to talk talk with. You know, not

768
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 7: to skew your question now, but if I, you know,

769
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 7: could have a golf partner, you know, to play around

770
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 7: a golf with, I think Peyton Manning would be hard

771
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 7: to turn down. I think, you know, you've had a

772
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 7: whole of history. It totally changes the game. But if

773
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 7: I could just play, you know, eighteen rounds or eighteen

774
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 7: holes of golf would be I'd love to ride in

775
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 7: the cart with Peyton Manning.

776
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: A conversation with honest Dabe and a round of golf

777
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning. That's a good combo, read, Senate. Great

778
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: to have you in Cincinnati, Best of luck in the preseason.

779
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,080
