0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>since Joe Burrows pregame workout. The highlight of Friday's preseason

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>opener actually happened two and a half hours before kickoff,

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>when the Bengals quarterback took the field with no compression

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.639
<v Speaker 1>sleeve on his right calf and worked out for roughly

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes. Joe threw passes to members of the coaching

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>staff and even did some light running. It's certainly a

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>cause for optimism that Joe will be ready for the

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>season opener in Cleveland. We'll have more on his pregame

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>workout when I talked to Dave Lapham later in the podcast.

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, time to review the preseason opener against the Packers.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>By now, you know that Zach Taylor is not going

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to play his starters very much, if at all, in

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the preseason. The one exception on Friday night was Dax Hill,

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>who needs snaps as he moves into a starting role

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>at safety. The Packers, on the other hand, had their

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>starting offense on the field for two drives for an

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>obvious reason after having two starting quarterbacks over the last

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty one years in Brett Favan Aaron Rodgers. This is

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the summer of Love in Green Bay, and Jordan Love,

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>who has barely played in three NFL seasons, put the

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Packers on the scoreboard. First second and goal from the nine.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Love hands it no fakes to Dylan sets up in

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, cloats it into the end zone and Dubbs

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>comes down with a touchdown catch for the green Bay Packers.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 1>He boxed out Sidney Jones the fourth and Romeo Dubbs,

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>who's six ' two two to oh four, pulled down

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the TD throw.

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Six two two oh four and you have a matchup

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>against Jones at six feet point eighty one.

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Love was replaced by rookie Seawan Clifford, a graduate of

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Saint Xavier High School in Cincinnati, and a pass interference

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>call at the goal line on Bengals cornerback Allen George

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>helped Green Bay take a fourteen to three lead early

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in the second quarter, but it didn't last after a

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>fifty one yard field goal by Evan McPherson made it

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>fourteen to six. Moneymack made all four of his field

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>goal attempts. By the way, the Bengals scored their first

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>touchdown of the preseason. Clifford ready catches the shotgun snap

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>against a four.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Man rushing on the run. See it's going to a

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>pet sex as Tyson Anderson picks it off hand sprints

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 3>to the end zone for the Bengals touchdown.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh Man Walker of the offensive lineman just went up

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to console Clifford, who is obviously very disappointed in the

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>outcome of that play. I mean, Tyson Anderson, it can't

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>be any easier than that. That ball was just gift

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>wrap to him. Clifford gets rid of the ball, He's

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>under pressure and jumping the route as Tyson Anderson and boy,

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you the pressure that came was up the middle.

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Dominique Davis came with an inside rush, beat the guard

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>and tattooed Clifford up in his chest right as he

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>was releasing the football. Took some juice off that Tyson

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Anderson undercut it and said see you later.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Later in the half, Tyson Anderson had another interception as

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>he ripped the ball away from six five, two hundred

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and fifty nine pound tight end Tucker Kraft. It was

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>quite a night for the speedy safety out of the

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>University of Toledo, who missed his rookie year with a

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>hamstring injury. Dave Lapham talked to him after the game.

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Two interceptions in the first half, one of them picked six.

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Take us through what you saw.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Out there, Coach lou caught a great call and we

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 4>disguised the real well and the quarterback just never seen

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 4>me and helped one of our teammates. I was just

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 4>helping him recover and just made a great player finished through.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 2>You jumped that route pretty darn strong, and Dominic Davis

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>had a pretty good rush. I'm not sure if you

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>saw the replay on it or not, but he pretty

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>good hit right in the quarterback's chest and you jumped

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>that thing, and it was when you intercepted it all

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 2>your I was green, I guess, huh yeah.

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 4>All I said was the end zone. Really, the quarterback

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 4>wasn't really chasing me, so I just kind of ran

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 4>to the left as far as I could knew nobody

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 4>was catching me once I got the ball.

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>What about the second interception? What'd you see there?

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 4>We just again, Coach Lou keep calling great calls. We

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 4>were in a cover cover three zone. He ran a

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 4>little stick route right on the sticks and seeing the

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 4>quarterback throw, broke on it and it was just a

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 4>competition for the ball and I came down with it.

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 2>So in the secondary, you guys have so much speed

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>you can run I mean, safety's corners. Everybody runs like

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 2>sub four four it seems like, I mean, and also

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 2>teams speed and smarts. It seems like you can run

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's intelligent. Back there. That's a pretty pretty good one.

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Two punched. You guys are gonna have a good year

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>back there.

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 4>No, Yeah, for sure. We just got to continue to

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 4>just stack days and sky's the limit for this group.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 4>Just continue to communicate and just do our our five

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 4>things that we pride ourselves on doing. Just being playmakers,

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 4>finishing the ball, having a lot of effort flying around,

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 4>communicating a plant smart.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Lou Anroumo, what's it like playing for a guy? Uh?

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.120

<v Speaker 4>we trust him to put us in great positions, and

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 4>he always does and we reap the benefits of him

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 4>putting us in great positions.

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Two interceptions in a half. Ever done that before at

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>any level?

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:29.120

<v Speaker 2>There you go. That's a good son right there. Appreciate you, Tys,

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you.

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Anderson's second I int came with one oh four left

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>in the half and the Bengals leading sixteen fourteen. They

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>were in field goal range, but Jake Browning threw a

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>pass that was two for Shdick Jackson, and he tipped

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>it into the hands of Green Bay rookie Carrington Valentine

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>out of Cincinnati s. Moeller High School. Twenty five seconds later,

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the Packers took the lead for good. Twenty five seconds

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>left in the half. Clifford and the gun back at

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the tent quick pass over the middle touchdown. Green Bay

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Davis, one of five tight ends on the roster,

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>makes the catch for the Packers touchdown. The Packers' offense

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>wound up scoring five touchdowns, including an eighty yard run

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter by undrafted rookie Emmanuel Wilson. The

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Bengals offense didn't score any tds, but there were some

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>bright spots, including a four catch debut for six round

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>draft pick Andre Yosi Vash. Here comes a blitz, Simeon

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>gets rid of.

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 3>It, pits Yosi Vosh get on a crossing route, breaks

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 3>the tackle running toward the Green Bay sideline and out

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 3>of bounds at Packers territory at the forty eight yard line.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Fifty party flagged down the offense to backfield.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be rough from the quarterback.

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Yosi Vosh just missed the touchdown as he hauled in

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>a twenty five yard pass in the end zone and

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 1>got his right foot down, but the tip of his

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>left foot landed on the sideline. I spoke to him

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>after the game, Andre four catches fifty yards in your

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>NFL preseason debut, and if your feet were a little

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>bit smaller, you might have had a touchdown catch.

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I just got to hold the space

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 5>there on that one. But you know, everything is a

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 5>work in progress, so I'm just happy I got to

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 5>be out there. I'm just making place.

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>What stood out to you about your first taste of

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 1>real NFL action.

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean it's really fast. You know, practice was fast,

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 5>but the game is a lot faster and I mean,

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 5>I just got to you had to all slow down

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 5>and just let the game come to me instead.

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 6>Of trying to rush these enforcements.

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 5>So with all coming with time. So I think this

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 5>is a really good experience.

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>For mere Chatting with Andrea Yosi Vosh, you were targeted

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>ten times? Did you find that out a good surprising

0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that they can do that much?

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 5>Not really, you know, I mean, if it's a one

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 5>on one matchup, I feel like those guys trust me

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 5>to make plays and things like that, So it wasn't

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 5>really surprise, and I was glad that they think were

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 5>the ball that anytime it shows shows a good traits.

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back to the near touchdown catch. Have you

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>seen a replay? How would you describe your attempt to

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 1>get both feet down inbounds.

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean it was pretty tight, I think, Yeah,

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean I think my second foot landed, Priory could

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 5>be right on the line by as close as the

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 5>line as you can. But you know, I'll make that

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 5>play next time it comes around.

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a big moment for any rookie. I think

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty Bengals rookies saw their first taste of NFL action.

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Was it but thrill even though it's a preseason game.

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, you just want to go out there

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 5>and execute. It was definitely exciting that the stadium was

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 5>really packed. The fans were allowed, so there's a fun

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 5>environment to be in and you know, get to get

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 5>the work and.

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>You get to do it another week in Atlanta.

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.359
<v Speaker 5>Yup, can't wait. I'm super excited, so onto.

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>The next you rats on a good first performance.

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Another Bengals rookie right back Chase Brown, got the ball

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>eleven times and showed off his speed. Simy In catches

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the shotgun snap against the four man rush, bouncing in

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, dumps it off check down to Chase Brown.

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Look at him go as he hits the accelerator, runs

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 3>inside the twenty, and the rookie out of Illinois gets

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:23.239
<v Speaker 3>tackled at the eighteen twenty one yards on the checkdown

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 3>to Chase Brown and.

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>The Bengals enter the paramount plus red zone. Brown finished

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>with twelve yards rushing in thirty three yards receiving. It

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>feels like your heart is still racing from the excitement

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of being out there.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 6>Is that the case, Yeah.

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 2>A little bit.

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's my first NFL game and I just

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 6>i just think back on it right now, like, man,

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 6>my god, I could have been better. So that's just

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 6>my mindset phoner this week, and you know that's gonna

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 6>be mine. My theme is just no being better this week.

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 6>And you know, rolling into Atlanta, you.

0:10:54.559 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 7>Know, okay, this more.

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.079
<v Speaker 6>Prepared more Not that I wasn't prepared this night, but

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, there's just it's like your first game. Now

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 6>you get the shakes a little bit, and you know,

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 6>now I got that first game under my belt, so

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 6>just you know, building confidence or not and going in

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 6>the next week better.

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>People don't remember scores from preseason games, stabs from preseason games,

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>but when it's your first, it's something you'll never forget, right, no.

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no no no.

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 6>But I mean these these are important for everybody that

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 6>had the opportunity to play tonight, and you know, just

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 6>being able to to to be better to go into

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 6>next week into these practices is what's most important.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like you wish the Atlanta.

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Game is tomorrow night.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 6>Man if it was, I'd be excited, But I mean

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 6>it just we just have some time to flush the film,

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, learn from our mistakes and just you know,

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 6>be better as a as a group to come.

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Up with the Winns have the twenty one yard gain

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on the screen feel or check down feel, Yeah.

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 6>I mean that's gonna just do my job. It's pretty

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 6>wide open, just gonna make one person miss. I'm just

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 6>barely just doing my job.

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Man, he made a miss badly. That seemed like he

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't quite realize how much speed number thirty had for six.

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, I'm coming with I'm coming with power.

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm coming with speed, and it's just you know, I

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 6>knew I had to play to make there. So it's

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 6>just like I said the day, I'm just doing my job.

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:18.200

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>score was thirty six to nineteen green Bay. The Bengals

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>falled to three and eight in preseason games under Zach Taylor,

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>who prioritizes keeping his starters healthy over getting them snaps

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and games that don't count. He spent a couple of

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>minutes with Lap after the game.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 2>In every single football game, there's gonna be guys that

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.479
<v Speaker 2>put forth good performances. I mean, Tyson Anderson two interceptions

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and a half, pretty good, pretty good performance right there.

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 2>One of the guys jump out at you. I know

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 2>you haven't had time to you anything, take a look

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 2>at anything. Dominique Davis to me, I mean he had

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 2>a good pass rush on Tyson's interception. He comes up

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>with a funbell recovery after a hit on another sacks,

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean sack you had. You had some guys that

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>stepped up and made some places.

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, some guys flash like that. You know you'll you'll

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.839
<v Speaker 8>have a chance to consume the whole tape to see

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 8>how the whole performance looked. But I did think Dominic

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 8>Davis showed up and made some key plays for us.

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 8>Tyson obviously, those are two really good interceptions. One of

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 8>them is in contested play he took away. The other

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 8>one he jumps to play and scores. So h those

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 8>should be big momentum changers for us, and we didn't

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 8>do enough to capitalize on him.

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 2>What's it like when a coach like yourself and sh Walters.

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 2>You see that all right? You want yo see Vosh,

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 2>who's a real good talent to get his hands extended,

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 2>to use that big body a little bit more instead

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 2>of letting the ball come to his body. And he's

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 2>done a really good job of that and it translated

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 2>in the game. He came close on a couple of

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 2>real big plays and contested catches, but he had the extension.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought he played really well and he gave a

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of effort.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 8>I saw some good things from him, you know. The

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 8>quarterbacks found a way to target him, and he made

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 8>some big plays, good catch up to the run, almost

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.199
<v Speaker 8>had a good touchdown. You don't want to contest down

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 8>there on the go round the end zone. So those

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.320
<v Speaker 8>were good things to see from under.

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So red zone. Obviously, they scored in the red zone

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>with regularity. The red zone only got there I think

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>once and settled for a field goal. That had to

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>be disappointing a little bit.

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, we had penalties that knocks us back. I didn't

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 8>think overall we were disappoint enough as a team. You know,

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 8>really you look at the first punt return we had.

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 8>We had a great return to the twenty five yard line,

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 8>we get a clip, so then we lose the field position.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 8>We then punt to him, we give them a we

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 8>getting off side and give him a free first down.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 8>They score a touchdown a couple of plays later. So

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 8>I just didn't think we were disciplined enough overall.

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>So what what did you take out of this football game?

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did you see guys when they had a

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>bad play or some thing that went wrong. Were they

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>able to compartmentalize and move on? And that's what you

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>have to do in the NFL. There's going to be

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 2>some ups and downs in the NFL. That's just life

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 2>in the National Football League, and young guys have to learn,

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, forget about that and let's go get something done.

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 8>I think the simplest thing is just the discipline. You know,

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 8>if we can eliminate the turnovers that put us in

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 8>really bad positions, and again, just simple things. Just be

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 8>where you're supposed to be. You know, I'm really in

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 8>all three phases, and those are things that we can

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 8>easily correct going to the next game. We're gonna really

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 8>emphasize them next week and be much better against seth Ana.

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Did you see a lot of times with young guys,

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>it's trying too hard. I mean, you know, it's like

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to try to go make a play. I'm

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 2>going to leave the crop that I'm supposed to harvest

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 2>and go try to get a little piece of this

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 2>crop over here. Did you see any of that?

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 8>We'll have to say, you know, that'll be better for

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 8>me to answer. I have to watch the tape up next.

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>A road game in Atlanta next Friday night. The Falcons

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>opened the preseason with a nineteen to three win over Miami.

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Starting quarterback Desmond Ritter did not play for Atlanta. Former

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Bengals draft pick Logan Woodside went the distance at QB.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>lat People generally don't remember the score of preseason games

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>or the stats of preseason games. For the guys who

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>played in their first NFL game tonight, it's a memory

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that they'll have forever.

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 2>No question. And you know some young players not their

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>first game, but Tyson Anderson, for example, with two fumble

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>recoveries to your picks, excuse me, two interceptions in a

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>half of a football game. I asked him if it

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>never happened to him at any level. He was new.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 2>He made his soling, not even any game, but definitely

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 2>note and a half, and he's keeping one of the

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>footballs and he's given the other one to his parents,

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 2>so he's a happy young man. Dominique Davis involved a

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>couple of the turnovers as well. I mean, those are

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.679
<v Speaker 2>things that those guys will remember because you know, they

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 2>haven't had much playing time in the National Football League

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>at this stage. Josie Vash worked his tailoff. I mean,

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I'd have to check the GPS, but

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>special teams and running rouse. This dude ran all night long.

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 2>He may have to have a recovery day.

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 1>He needs a smaller foot. If he had a slightly

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>smaller foot or smaller shoe, he would have had a

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>touchdown catch.

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was pretty good play. I mean the way

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 2>he twisted his body and just barely you know, missed

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 2>out on that touchdown. I would have been good for

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:47.959
<v Speaker 2>him to get that, to get rewarded for that but

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I think the thing that you got to like about

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 2>a guy like him is he takes coaching so well.

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he was having some issues at getting extension

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>using the big body that he has his advantage, and

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>getting his arms extended catching the football. He was letting

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the ball come to his body more. And the coach

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 2>has said, look, you know only has six foot three

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.679
<v Speaker 2>with some range and length used it, and he's used it.

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.879
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to tell intelligent guy like him something

0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 2>more than once. And he's coachable, and he's extremely athletic.

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 2>There's no question about that.

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 1>DJ Turner has received a lot of attention this training camp.

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought he played well. Four tackles, including two tackles

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 1>for loss. You mentioned Yosi Vash He had four catches.

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Chase Brown handled the ball eleven times. He had a

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty one yard catch on a check down. This rookie

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 1>rookie class showed pretty well in their first taste of

0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:41.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL preseason action.

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 2>They did they showed they belonged, you know, no question

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 2>about that. The game boiled down to third down. Green

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Bay was better. Red zone. Green Bay was dramatically better.

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Four touchdowns in the red zone. The Bengals getting the

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 2>red zone once and you know, settle for a field goals,

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 2>so you can't lose the red zone battle that significantly

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 2>and expect to win a football game. And really the

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 2>touchdown was on a on a defensive score, so it's

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, gonna there's miles to go before they rust.

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of work that needs to be done.

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 2>But it's never as bad as you think it is,

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 2>and it's never as good as you think it is,

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>particularly preseason game number one. I mean, you look and

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 2>look at the tape, and if you didn't look at

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>it in sequence, you know I'd be this. This was

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a competitive environment, but too many penalties, lack of red

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 2>zone execution, third down inefficiency, all that all that added

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.360
<v Speaker 2>up to to losing a football game.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Neither quarterback played particularly well. I thought Browning was better

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 1>than Simon, but the protection was better for Browning, So

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>it's really hard to knock Simeon when he was dealing

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 1>with free runners and pressure that was not quite as

0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>bad for Jake Browning.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, and all that has to be taken

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>into account. Simeon when he wasn't spinning away from he

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 2>was getting rid of the football just before you know

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>contact was coming and you know that's the Green Bay Packers.

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 2>They ended up figuring things out free Runner. I don't

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 2>know it was because they were a man short and

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 2>protection because they had such a limited game plan going

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 2>into the game. There really wasn't a game plan. It

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 2>was keep it simple so players could be confident and

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.480
<v Speaker 2>play real fast. Well in some cases that may have

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.919
<v Speaker 2>let them down not having enough blockers or maybe you know,

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 2>there was a call that wasn't made properly at the

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 2>line of scrimmage to pick up that free runner. So

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 2>all that has to be sorted out and worked through,

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to get going to get dramatically better,

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 2>there's no doubt.

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So the real story of this game was what happened

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 1>before the game. Yea much earlier before the game, as

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow came out onto the field for a pretty

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 1>rigorous pregame workout. He threw pass to members of the

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff. He ran, although I wouldn't describe it as sprinting,

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't a jog. He was running pretty aggressively.

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw him exit the stadium with Sam Hubbard. Seemed

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to be in good spirits. So if you could have

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.439
<v Speaker 1>one thing happened today, of anything, it wouldn't be a

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>dominant win over the Green Bay Packers. It would be

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a sign that Joe Burrow is going to be AOKA

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 1>in time for the season opener against the Cleveland Browns.

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 1>And this was a positive step forward.

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the fact that he didn't have anything on that calf.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, there was no sleeve, there was no compression sock,

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 2>there was none of that kind of thing. So you

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 2>could see that bruising was reabsorbed. I mean it had

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 2>pretty much gone away, and that's what's allowed him to

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.959
<v Speaker 2>do the things that he was doing out there. I

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 2>think the Wednesday practice that he attended it was probably

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 2>an impetus. I think it was like, oh man, I

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 2>get to get out and start doing something. This has

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:55.760
<v Speaker 2>driving me crazy.

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 1>As long as the doctors and trainers said it's okay.

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, and they were all out there, the trainers were,

0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, making sure that he didn't do too much.

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:09.360
<v Speaker 2>But it would not surprise me if next week he throws,

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 2>and he throws more than one day. I'm not saying

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 2>necessarily Monday or Sunday.

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Now when you say throws with linemen and receivers or

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just off to the side, throwing the receivers.

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Off to the side. I don't think he's gonna do anything,

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, in terms of out on the football field

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 2>helmet and shoulder pads kind of thing. But I think

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 2>now that he has started to throw, I think he's

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 2>going to ramp it up. You know, he's going to

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 2>continue to throw. And it wouldn't surprise me that he

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 2>goes into some sort of a routine where every single

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 2>day if there's no setbacks, you know, like, what if

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:50.160
<v Speaker 2>there's a setback tomorrow morning he wakes up, It's like, man,

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe I did a little too much. If he ever

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 2>feels that he has to shut it down, back off

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and shut it down because you do not want to

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 2>re exacerbate injury it because it's always worse that second

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 2>time goes. It goes to a point where it was

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>worse than when you first heard it. That seems to

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 2>be the way those calf issues are. I mean, they

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 2>can be lingering, so but he continues to wrap it up.

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean love to see him. He's not going to

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 2>play in any preseason games. I don't think he was

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna anyway. That's not going to happen. But what if

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.200
<v Speaker 2>he was able to practice before the last preseason game

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 2>for a day or two, and then when they come back,

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:30.880
<v Speaker 2>they don't have a game, they have a week off,

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 2>but that any work that they do, the workdays that

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.480
<v Speaker 2>they do, he's out there doing as much as he

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 2>possibly can on those work days, and then the following

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 2>week goes to a regular week of practice and gets

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 2>ready for the Cleveland Browns. I could see that as

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a possibility.

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the best case scenario. This happened two

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, fifteen days ago. If he's out for two

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>more weeks, which would be four weeks since the injury,

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that would still give him two weeks before the season

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 1>open or the season opener's thirty days away.

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 2>And watching him throw today, I mean, he's he's able

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to He's able to put some torque on the football,

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, so in the and the thing is he

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 2>has kept up with all the mental rep stuff, and

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 2>like we talked about before, he did get a ton

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:17.000
<v Speaker 2>of reps in in July, you know, and and uh

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 2>so losing just a little bit of time that he lost.

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not ideal, but it's not you know, something that's

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 2>going to like cost him. You know he's not going

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 2>to be the same guy going out there and playing quarterback.

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I can see though a school of thought too, where

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like, okay, depending on how all of

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 2>this goes. I mean, if there's if he keeps progressing,

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 2>doing more and not having any setbacks playing, we're talking

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 2>about fine. If there's any minor thing, shut it down,

0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 2>miss week one. You know, don't, don't push it. But

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the way he look today is extremely encouraging, and you

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 2>think that Jayz, you know, maybe you can you can

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>add to that workload. He's young, he's in great shape,

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 2>He's a quick healer. He's shown that before. Hopefully, hopefully

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:12.399
<v Speaker 2>now he's on a track where he'll be able to

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>go against the Cleveland Browns because we need all hands

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:19.879
<v Speaker 2>on deck, particularly that hand, need that most important major

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 2>hand on deck up there in Cleveland.

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.199
<v Speaker 1>Like we said, he wasn't sprinting before the game tonight,

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>but he was running. I would describe it as running

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that shocks me. I did not expect that to happen

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:32.880
<v Speaker 1>fifteen days after that injury.

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I agree. Now the final thing is the explosion. You

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 2>know you're in the pocket and you have to push

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>off that foot, you know, on that foot attached to

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.320
<v Speaker 2>that calf and really push off and it is his

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 2>right calf. So when he has to say he has

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 2>to get out of pocket and plant that foot and

0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 2>torque his body and throw down the football field. All

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>of those kind of things that that is a much

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 2>different dynamic than even sprinting. Just run in a sprint

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:03.640
<v Speaker 2>across the football field. Those kind of things where your

0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>body has to has to adjust and still be able

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>to be real strong when you're exploding and being sudden,

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 2>you know in your movements. That's the final test.

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for looking up.

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you I'd give him an a plus on

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 2>his first test.

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 6>He looked good.

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 4>He looked really good.

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.840

<v Speaker 1>where you get to know the person under the pads.

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Time for some fun facts with quarterback Reed Senate from Johnston, Iowa,

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>not too far from des Moines population roughly twenty four

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand or so. I'm from a small town in New

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 1>York State. Our claim to fame is that luci Olle

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Ball is from there. Does Johnston, Iowa have any sort

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of claim to fame?

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 7>Ooh, we have a nfler named Quinn Satanowski who was

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 7>a long snapper on a tight end for the Baltimore

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:21.560
<v Speaker 7>Ravens for probably two or three years. We have a

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 7>hybrid seed company that was known as Pioneer when I

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:25.800
<v Speaker 7>was there, So, you know, a lot of the really,

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:27.919
<v Speaker 7>really good corn was getting grown in the town that

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm from. So other than that, though, I don't know

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 7>that there's a lot of excitement in Johnston, Iowa.

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, we've learned some important nuggets about Johnston.

0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like you are from a very athletic family.

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I read that your dad was walk on basketball player

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>at Kansas. Your mom has a background as a sports writer.

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Were you obsessed with sports growing up?

0:27:46.560 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 7>I was, but I was only obsessed with playing them.

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:51.400
<v Speaker 7>You know, we watched Kansas basketball in North Carolina basketball,

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 7>but I wasn't a professional sports fan, So I was

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 7>obsessed with playing ball in the yard and coming up

0:27:56.400 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 7>with games and doing it that way. But you know,

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 7>watching sports has been something that I found to enjoy

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 7>more as I've gotten older. But I'll still try to

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 7>get my buddies play foot ball and do things like that,

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 7>and they look at me like we're grown men. You know,

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 7>we don't need to be doing that.

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, you are definitely a grown man. You're six four

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 1>two twenty five. Were you the biggest most athletic kid

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in the neighborhood growing up?

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Not at all.

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 7>I was a late bloomer, so you know, I was

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.479
<v Speaker 7>always taller and maybe bigger than some of the buddies

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.000
<v Speaker 7>that I hung out with. But my athletic prime I

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 7>don't think probably came till my fourth or fifth year

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 7>in college even And you know, I still think I'm

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 7>on an upward trajectory, so I still think there's room

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 7>for growth on that front.

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 1>We're visiting with quarterback reed senate. I read that you

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:37.879
<v Speaker 1>were not the starting quarterback in high school until your

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 1>senior year. Now Ben Roethlisberger can say the same thing,

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 1>but it is it's an underdog story to make it

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL, and that's the case.

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I started one year in high school. I was

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 7>playing more baseball than I was football at that time.

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 7>You know, I was committed to play in other sports.

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 7>I wasn't doing camps and things like that, so recruiting

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 7>was an uphill battle. And then I only started one

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 7>year in college too, at the University of San Diego,

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 7>playing behind Anthony Lawrence was a two time conference Player

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 7>of the Year and ended up having a good career

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 7>over in Japan. But I think it's being able to

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 7>take advantage of opportunities when they come, and I think

0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 7>I've learned how to, you know, be the best at

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 7>my role on the team, and I think there's there's

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 7>a role for that at this level as well.

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 1>What was living in San Diego like after growing up

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa.

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 7>I was unbelievable, a little bit of culture shock, but

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 7>I grew quickly into my rainbow sandals, and you know,

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 7>picked up a surfboard a couple of times. I can't

0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 7>say that I'm any good, but I lived a couple

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 7>of years at the beach and it's really hard to

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 7>beat that, I can tell you now.

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I read that you were almost an Ivy leaguer before

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 1>you chose the University of San Diego.

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 7>You did your research. I thought I was going to

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 7>go to Penn That was kind of my dream school.

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 7>I remember my senior year of high school. Senior first

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 7>day of senior year, everybody wore the shirt of what

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 7>school they were going to go to, and I wore pinnshirt,

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 7>thinking that was going to be home for me. And

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:55.719
<v Speaker 7>the coach there told me to call Tanner instran at

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 7>the University of San Diego, and I called him probably

0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 7>four or five times and he never called me back.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 7>I'll never forget my dad telling me the living room,

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 7>like call him one more time, like just call him,

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 7>like he doesn't want to talk to me, And he

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:07.800
<v Speaker 7>finally picked up and he's like, come on a visit.

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 7>You know, I got a chance to make the team

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 7>that fall, and you know a lot of dominoes fell

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 7>in my direction since then.

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>So you finally got to start as your as a

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 1>senior as you pointed out, and had a great year.

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Did you start to think the NFL was realistic possibility?

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 7>H Dale Lindsay, our head coach. After my freshman camp

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 7>and Jacques's are they said to me that they thought

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 7>I could play in the NFL. And I remember telling

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 7>some of my buddies from home that and then giving

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 7>me a hard time like you're at the University of

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 7>San Diego, man like relax, and those two people, definitely,

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 7>you know, gave me some you know, confidence behind the scenes.

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 7>That that made me feel like I was working towards something.

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 7>And that year I felt like I was going to

0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 7>be able to show that I was an NFL player.

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 7>And my great friend Michael Bandy was the reason that

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 7>scouts were coming to watch us, and I think I

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 7>gave him a reason to come around a second time.

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>So after your college career, you signed as a college

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was Tom

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Brady's first year there, so you went through training camp

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.480
<v Speaker 1>learning from the goat, being in a quarterback room with

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the goat. What was that experience like?

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 7>It was amazing. A lot of people ask, you know,

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 7>what's he like? And I think he's everything that everybody

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 7>thinks he is. He's a fantastic person. He was really

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 7>supportive of me and in little moments, you know, gave

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 7>me some confidence. Even though I wasn't getting a ton

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 7>of reps. He was really valuable for my development. You know.

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 7>I was able to ask him questions and we would

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 7>sit and eat lunch together, and I would just watch

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 7>him watch tape. You know, there wasn't a lot of

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 7>discussion in there, but you know, he allowed me to

0:31:35.760 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 7>kind of hover around and see how he went about

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 7>his business. And I definitely learned a lot about being

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 7>a professional from him.

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>If you ate lunch with him on a regular basis.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>What was he eating?

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Ah, it was funny.

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 7>He was a big fan of the Sweet Baby Rays

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 7>barbecue sauce. And he was joking that the Avacada ice

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 7>cream and his diet stuff got blown out of proportion

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 7>because he did love that Sweet Baby Rays.

0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I feel like we've we've broken news here.

0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady actually ate one thing that wasn't, you know,

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>incredibly healthy. So you've got three years of NFL experience

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>under your belt, practice, squad time, time on the roster

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>as a number three quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles. How

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 1>do you improve under those circumstances Because you're not getting

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a ton of reps during practice.

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 7>It's challenging, and I think it's part of being able

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 7>to take advantage of opportunities when they're presented to you.

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 7>Coach Floras when I was in Miami, gave me a

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 7>lot of walk through reps and so those were my

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 7>super Bowl every day, you know, going against that defense

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 7>and trying to make things work and learning how the

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:34.280
<v Speaker 7>defense worked. It made me I learned a ton in that.

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 7>You know, Philadelphia was a different organization. I didn't get

0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 7>as many hands on reps and so you know, felt

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 7>like I was doing a lot of learning behind the scenes.

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:44.720
<v Speaker 7>And it's part of the challenge of not being a

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:47.479
<v Speaker 7>starter in the NFL, and it's something that you kind

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 7>of have to overcome and take what you can get.

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 7>I feel like in the preseason especially, I've been able

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:54.680
<v Speaker 7>to take advantage of the opportunities I get, and that's

0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 7>going to be I think the story of my career

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 7>is am I able to take advantage of those preseason

0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 7>reps and you know, show thirty two teams that I

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 7>can play and keep getting opportunities like this or you know,

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 7>figure out how it goes from there.

0:33:06.560 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 1>We're chatting with quarterback Read Senate. So the XFL had

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a season this past spring. There were some prominent quarterbacks

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 1>in that league, including former Bengal AJ McCarron. Great opportunity

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to play in games and you broke your foot YEP

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 1>how tough was that.

0:33:20.760 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 7>It was challenging. You know, I think the XFL was

0:33:23.760 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 7>definitely a learning experience for me. You know, getting hurts

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 7>always a challenge, but it's something that I had already

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 7>had in my other foot, so you know, the injury

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 7>wasn't something new to me. I kind of knew what

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 7>was going to come with it, but feeling like I

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 7>maybe missed out on chances this summer to you know,

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 7>show that I could play, learn a new offense. Those

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:44.960
<v Speaker 7>things are things you have to take in stride. And

0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 7>so now I'm I'm here in the opportunity that I

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 7>think could have been the best for me, and so

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 7>trying to take it as much as I can.

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 1>So when Joe Burrow injured his CAF at the beginning

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of training camp, the Bengals had a couple of quarterbacks

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 1>try out and show to sign you. And some fans

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 1>might have said, that name sounds familiar. Where do I know,

0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 1>reed Senate? And sure enough, if you go back to

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.719
<v Speaker 1>the preseason two years ago, you let him up for

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and forty three yards. He threw a miraculous

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>roughly forty yard touchdown pass and fourth and fifteen with

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>less than a minute and a half to go. Are

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>your teammates aware of that? Has anybody said, hey, I

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:24.800
<v Speaker 1>remember that game?

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah a little bit. That was a really fun experience,

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:30.520
<v Speaker 7>and I think, you know, like I was talking about

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.839
<v Speaker 7>taking advantage of opportunities, and it's the only game I've

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 7>gotten to start at this level. I got in here,

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 7>I got signed, and I was kind of finishing stuff

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:39.520
<v Speaker 7>up in the training room, and you know, Joe was

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 7>kind of doing some of his rehab and I just said, hey, man,

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm reading he's like read senate preseason twenty or preseason

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 7>game three, twenty twenty one. I remember that, and so

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 7>it's funny we've gone back and forth a little bit

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 7>about that. You know, I joked with him. I got

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 7>home after that game and was, you know, obviously ride

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 7>and high. I felt like there wasn't anything else I

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 7>could do to make the team. And ESPN turned it

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 7>on Sports Center the Hours, turn it over and they

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:07.040
<v Speaker 7>flashed Dolphins Bengals, and I'm like, are they sweet? I

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:10.400
<v Speaker 7>might get to see some highlights And they showed ju

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.360
<v Speaker 7>Jamar Chase drops and Joe Burrow throwing a screen for

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 7>minus two, and then it flashed the final score whatever Dolphins.

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 7>I don't even remember what the final score was, and

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:21.360
<v Speaker 7>then at the bottom it said Joe Burrow won for

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 7>three minus two yards, so I can't even get a

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 7>stat line. So you know, that brought me back to

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:29.239
<v Speaker 7>reality pretty quick. And you know, I had to joke

0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:32.279
<v Speaker 7>with Joe about that, and he's been fantastic. So it's

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 7>a it's been a fun quarterback room for sure.

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 1>All Right. A couple of wild card topics for quarterback

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:40.399
<v Speaker 1>reed Senate. Who is your childhood athletic hero?

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 7>Tyler Hansbrough of the North Carolina basketball team. I felt

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 7>like I resonated with the set picks and rebounds and

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:52.080
<v Speaker 7>get you know, offensive rebounds to score baskets. That was

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.919
<v Speaker 7>kind of my basketball game. So Tyler Hansbrough was my guy.

0:35:55.400 --> 0:36:01.160
<v Speaker 1>If you could meet anybody in history, athlete, entertainer, famous, politician,

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>whoever it might be, who would that person be?

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 6>Hmm.

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 7>The first person that came to my head was Abraham Lincoln.

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 7>I was, you know, reading some books that are talking

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:13.480
<v Speaker 7>about leadership and things like that, and a lot of

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 7>things come back to him and his ability to you know,

0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.719
<v Speaker 7>be kind of people remember people's names, the way that

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 7>he interacted with people and obviously let our country through

0:36:22.160 --> 0:36:23.840
<v Speaker 7>a really important time. I think he would be a

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 7>really fascinating person to talk talk with. You know, not

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 7>to skew your question now, but if I, you know,

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:32.520
<v Speaker 7>could have a golf partner, you know, to play around

0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 7>a golf with, I think Peyton Manning would be hard

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:37.360
<v Speaker 7>to turn down. I think, you know, you've had a

0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:39.839
<v Speaker 7>whole of history. It totally changes the game. But if

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:41.760
<v Speaker 7>I could just play, you know, eighteen rounds or eighteen

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 7>holes of golf would be I'd love to ride in

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 7>the cart with Peyton Manning.

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 1>A conversation with honest Dabe and a round of golf

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.759
<v Speaker 1>with Peyton Manning. That's a good combo, read, Senate. Great

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to have you in Cincinnati, Best of luck in the preseason.

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:54.080
