18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: a few minutes because it falls under the heading of

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: story Time with Dan. About fifteen years ago, while I

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: was in New York City to broadcast the Big East Tournament.

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: I attended my first taping of The David Letterman Show

22
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: with former Cincinnati Inquirer beat writer Bill Cook, and we

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: learned that Dave would come out and take a question

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: or two from the audience before the show began. The

25
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: following year, I was able to get tickets again, and

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I was picked to sit in the

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: front row. So when Dave came out to take questions

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: from the audience, I stuck up my hand and began

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: frantically waving like horse Shack from Welcome Back Cotter. Sure enough,

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Dave picked me and asked where I was from. I

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: told him Cincinnati and that I was in New York

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: to broadcast It's the Big East Tournament on WLW Radio,

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: knowing that Dave had listened to the station as a

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: kid growing up in Indiana. After he informed the audience

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: that WLW was one of the nation's most legendary radio stations,

36
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I invited him to be a guest color commentator on

37
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: the UC Bearcat's Big Eiaest Tournament game the next day,

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and added that I might actually need him because my

39
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: broadcast partner had once been kicked out of an NCAA

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: tournament game for yelling at the referees. If you don't

41
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: know that story, my pal, the late great Chuck Mayshock

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: got kicked out for yelling at official Mike Kits in

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: a tournament game between Cincinnati and Gonzaga. Well, David Letterman

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: began laughing hysterically and asked me for all of the details.

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: By the time I finished telling the story about Chuck

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: getting tossed out, the opening theme song started and it

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: was time for the show to begin. About thirty seconds later,

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: Dave ran out onto the stage, and here's how his

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: opening monologue began.

50
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, I don't usually do this, but because it's a

51
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: Friday night, you're all in such a great mood, I

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: thought I would kick off the program this evening with

53
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: an impression is my impression of a basketball radio color commentator.

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: At that point, the camera cut to me, laughing like

55
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: a hyena in the front row.

56
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: Getting tossed out of his coverage of the NCAA double

57
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: basketball MC double. Okay's a It's gonna be good, ain't

58
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: His partner or seated court side broadcasting the game back

59
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: to well, let's just say Cincinnati the color commentator is

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: such a homer that when there's trouble for the home team,

61
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bearcats, he becomes so incensed that he jumps

62
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: to his feet and starts heckling the referee.

63
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: Okay and go something like this.

64
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: Are you crazy?

65
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: Thank you very much?

66
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: And just like that. Dave's ad libbed imitation of Chuck

67
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Mayshock became a running gag throughout the rest of the episode,

68
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: complete with the addition of Cincinnati sponsors.

69
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he wasn't traveling. What are you blind? That's not traveling.

70
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll be right back after this message from Kroger's.

71
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: After each condition of Dave's out of control basketball announcer,

72
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: the camera cut to me doubled over in laughter at

73
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: the Ed Sullivan Theater.

74
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: Anderson brings the ball up the half court, takes a dribble.

75
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: Nobody open, bounce past to Johnson.

76
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: Johnson dribbles for the key, comes back out.

77
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: Oh from three point range.

78
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 5: He takes a shot.

79
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: It's good.

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 6: His foot was on the line. His foot was on

81
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 6: the line. What's the matter with you? Hey was on

82
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 6: the line.

83
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll be right back after this message from Queen

84
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: City Tires.

85
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: It went like that for the rest of the episode,

86
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: and just before doing the top ten list, Dave read

87
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a card that explained what happened to Chuck and introduced

88
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: me in the audience. So let me go back to

89
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: where we started. It's the greatest thing since Don Giller.

90
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: I've been trying to get my hands on the videotape

91
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: of that episode for years, and recently learned that Don

92
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: has archives of nearly every show that Letterman hosted, more

93
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: than six thousand in all. So I looked him up

94
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: on Facebook and sent a message explaining the situation. One

95
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: day later, he sent the video to me with permission

96
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: from Letterman's production company. So Don and Dave, thanks for

97
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: a great memory. All right, the Bengals are one to zero.

98
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Let's get to the radio replays from Sunday's win in Cleveland.

99
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: After months of talking about and hearing about the need

100
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: to get off to a fast start, the Cincinnati Bengals

101
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: finally get the opportunity to do it as they look

102
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: to kick off the season with a road win in Cleveland.

103
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: It's the Bengals and Browns on Opening Day, and it

104
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: is time for the pigskin to fly. Here at Huntington

105
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: bank field second and a long yard. The ball is

106
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: in between the four and the five of Cleveland. Burrow

107
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: waits for a shotgun snap at the ten goes in motion.

108
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: They hand it off to Chase Brown. He's running left.

109
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: He'll go into the end zone. Touchdown. Chase Brown in

110
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals. As Cincinnati begins the season with a twelve

111
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: play touchdown drive that took half of the first quarter

112
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: off the clock. The Browns are going to go for

113
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: it on fourth downend goal from the one. Flacco hands

114
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: it off Rocket Sanders into the end zone for a

115
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland touchdown. But there's a penalty flag at the five

116
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: yard live.

117
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, and let's see it's called from the other side

118
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 7: of the formation.

119
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: The play was run to the right.

120
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 7: Was a Cleveland Brown offensive lineman with a off side

121
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 7: to the lineup off side.

122
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: Let's see it is a touchdown.

123
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: There's no fire. Had two extra offensive linemen are coming

124
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: into the game. The Bengals will have seven offensive linemen

125
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: on the field.

126
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 7: Boy, that field is sinking now, it's not tilted his sinking.

127
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Cody Ford lines up like a full back at about

128
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty pounds. Third down, end goal inside

129
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: the one. Burrow wants to throw his pass, caught by

130
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: a wide open Noah Fant, who throws the ball high

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: into the air in celebration as the Bengal score their

132
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: second touchdown. And this will be a forty five yard

133
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: try for a kicker with the number twenty five. That's unusual.

134
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: The kick is on its way, it has the distance,

135
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: and it is good. So the Browns pull within four

136
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: with twenty three seconds left in the half, and Cleveland's

137
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: going to get the ball to begin the third quarter

138
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: with an opportunity to potentially take the lead. On first

139
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and goal from the five, Flacco looking to pass his

140
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: throw caught in the middle of the end zone by

141
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: Cedric Tillman for a Cleveland go ahead touchdown. Second down

142
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,239
Speaker 1: and sixteen after that six yard sack for Trey Hendrickson,

143
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Flacco fakes a hand off. Here comes the rush his

144
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: pass over the middle and it is intercepted offer ricochet

145
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: by Jordan Battle. He's running it back at the twenty

146
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: five and he'll be tackled after getting down to the

147
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. Evan McPherson will try to give

148
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: Cincinnati the lead. This will be a thirty five yard

149
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: field goal attempt from the right hash out of the

150
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: hold of Ryan Rico. Two fifty two remaining, third quarter,

151
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati trails by two. Here comes the thirty five yard kick,

152
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: the swing of the right leg, a high spinning, end

153
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: over end kick, and it gives Cincinnati a one point lead.

154
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: Flacco catches the shotgun snap passes over the middle, dropped

155
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: by Judy. I'm the Bengals takeover back to back drops

156
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: by the Cleveland brown amazing.

157
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 7: And two very fine throws from Joe Flacco.

158
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: With two thirty to go, the Browns trying to take

159
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: the lead. Bojorquez catches, puts it down. It's kick on

160
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: the way, No, no good. He missed it wide right.

161
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: He missed a pat wide right, and Schmidt misses a

162
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: go ahead field goal tried wide right. Two twenty two

163
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: to go.

164
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 7: I mean go to the sideline right now. It's tough

165
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 7: for him to look teammates in the eye.

166
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: No prouds go no huddle, yep, two minutes drill, no huddle,

167
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: and have it at their own forty three yard line.

168
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: Flacco looking to throw his pass.

169
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 8: And is intercepted. It went off the finger tips of Tillman.

170
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 8: DJ Turner comes up with a football him that is

171
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 8: coffin nails.

172
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 7: Bam bam bam about Turner Man.

173
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds to go, the rookie snapper Wagner fires it back.

174
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Here comes a high end, over end punt. It's going

175
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: to bounce at the nine, nice and the Bengals will

176
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: down it at the one. And it also took eleven

177
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: seconds off the clock.

178
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 9: Man p J.

179
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: Jewles standing in perfect position. He gambled a bit, allowing

180
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: that oblong ball to bounce in his direction, but ultimately

181
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: he played it perfectly. Forty nine yard punt, eleven seconds

182
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: taken off the clock, and the Browns have to start

183
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: from their own one. Eight seconds to go. Flacco back

184
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: to throw from the end zone. Now he throws up

185
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: the field, bobbled and caught. The Bengals make the tackle

186
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: at the twenty nine yard line and that ends the game.

187
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Bengals are one and oh doesn't that sound good? Yes,

188
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: it does, as they come to Cleveland and win on

189
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: opening day seventeen to sixteen. So the Bengals obviously got

190
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: some help from Brown's rookie kicker Andre Schmid, but if

191
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: you think about it, Cincinnati wouldn't have lost an opening

192
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: Day in twenty twenty two to Pittsburgh if Evan McPherson

193
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: didn't miss an extra point and a chip shot field

194
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: goal in overtime. In money max case, it was due

195
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: to an injury to long snapper Clark Harris. The key

196
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: to the win on Sunday in Cleveland was a defense

197
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: that bent at times but rarely broke, holding the Browns

198
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: to forty nine rushing yards on twenty four carries while

199
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: intercepting Joe Flacco twice. Jordan Battle had the first of

200
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: those picks and I talked to him after the game.

201
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Gave up sixteen points and got two takeaways on defense,

202
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: What did you think you guys did best on defense today?

203
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 9: Stopped the run. I think they had like a two

204
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 9: point zero average rushing today.

205
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 10: So d Lion frous seven did a great job, you know,

206
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 10: stopping run.

207
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 9: So Joker put the ball in their so give us

208
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 9: a chance to make plays on the ball.

209
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Your interception was huge. It ultimately led to the field

210
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: goal that gave the Bengals to lead back for good.

211
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: Describe that play.

212
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was great play obviously, you know playing cover two,

213
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 9: you know, just breaking on the ball.

214
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 10: A quarterback made up throw inside, was forced to receive.

215
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 9: I think it was three to tip it and then

216
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 9: you know just to focus to you know, maintain and

217
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 9: catch the ball, you know, and uh put us.

218
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 10: Put the office in striking position.

219
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: And DJ got the one that more or less clinched

220
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: to win the first of his NFL career. That's what

221
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: al it's been preaching.

222
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, exactly plus two getting takeaways, you know, ball disrupting.

223
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 9: We've been working at the whole camp and uh, they

224
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 9: sold today.

225
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: Describe your emotions on the Browns final field goal attempt.

226
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 10: Uh, Hey, I was.

227
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 9: I was super excited, you know obviously you know, just

228
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 9: coming off the coming off the field, you know, getting

229
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 9: to stop.

230
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 10: They had good field position.

231
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

232
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 9: And then obviously you're gonna stop, get off the field

233
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 9: on fourth down and then you see a kicker go

234
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 9: out there and you know miss a kick. Uh, It's

235
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 9: it's very relieving and it's very you know, that's cheerful

236
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 9: for us.

237
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 10: That's joy and that means hard. Especially know on the office.

238
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: We got he had missed the pat from roughly the

239
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: same distance. In your mind, does that make you think

240
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: he might miss again?

241
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: So sure?

242
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 9: You know obviously, Uh, with the way the game is going. Uh,

243
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 9: obviously it's a division game, you know, you know, all

244
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 9: all tension is up. You know when he goes out there,

245
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 9: it's just him, you know, he has to he has

246
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 9: to make a tough kit and obviously is always going.

247
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 10: You don't know how it's gonna go. It can be

248
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 10: a make, it can be a miss.

249
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: You're one and h for the first time in your

250
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: NFL career. Hey, describe how it feels in this room.

251
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 9: Hey, it feels excellently, you know, especially being one to

252
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 9: know on a division. Uh that that can that can

253
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 9: put us on top, you know, based on how the

254
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 9: other games go. But uh, yeah, that was that was

255
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 9: the main thing coming in the weakue one you know. Uh,

256
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 9: like you said, my first time at the bingals, being one.

257
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 10: To O to start the season. So it's obviously great.

258
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: And grants on the win.

259
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you.

260
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: That's Jordan Battle. Battle finished the game of the team

261
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: high twelve tackles. Demetrius Knight had ten in his first

262
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: NFL game, and Trey Hendrickson had a sack and three

263
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. The offensive numbers weren't as good. Joe Burrow

264
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: is held to one hundred and thirteen passing yards, and

265
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals only managed forty six yards on the ground

266
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: gone twenty three carries like Cleveland. That's two yards per attempt.

267
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: But are you really worried about the Bengals offense figuring

268
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: it out? I'm not. Here's Burrow.

269
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 5: We'll take it.

270
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 11: Anytime you can win like this, you kind of steal one.

271
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 11: So we stole one today and we're gonna have to

272
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 11: be better. These early games are always tough. You got

273
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 11: to be able to establish the run, and that's what

274
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 11: we want to be on offense. We want to be

275
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 11: able to run the ball. On first half it was great,

276
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 11: and then you the second half, the all pasts of

277
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 11: the offense just weren't good enough.

278
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 5: So we gotta get better.

279
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 11: Even win any of these games last year, and so

280
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 11: usually when you can win a game like this, that's

281
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 11: a recipe for success and it means you're going to

282
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 11: be some a good team if you can find a

283
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 11: lot of different ways to win than we did today.

284
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,479
Speaker 1: Joe's first touchdown pass of the year went to newcomer

285
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: Noah Fan who led the team with four catches in

286
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: his Bengals debut. Here's my conversation with a twenty seven

287
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: year old tight end. Not a bad debut in a

288
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Bengals uniform. Noah caught a pass in the first play

289
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: of the game and caught a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow.

290
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: Describe your emotions after your Bengals debut.

291
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 12: It's been a whirlwind the last month for me, but

292
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 12: I've been super excited to be able to come in

293
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 12: and work and get to know the offense and all

294
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 12: those things and be able to make some place today

295
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 12: was really cool. I'm more focused on, like, like first

296
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 12: and for us, we got to win. There was some

297
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 12: things that we can clean up out there, so it's

298
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 12: like it's gonna be nice to go back to the

299
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 12: film and watch that and like get to pick up

300
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 12: on all those things where we can improve on to

301
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 12: like really put us in a good position to like close.

302
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: Out games a lot better than we did.

303
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: So there were some good things.

304
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: There were some bright spots, but I was that I

305
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 5: was happy about.

306
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 12: But definitely looking forward to to getting back to the

307
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 12: drawing board and improving on some of these things.

308
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 5: That feel like we kind of left out there a

309
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: little bit.

310
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: I wondered if you would be a bit of a

311
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: hidden weapon today in the sense that the opponent didn't

312
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: see you much in a Bengals uniform in the preseason.

313
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Did do you feel like they used you in a

314
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: sense that way?

315
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 12: Well, I think, which is one of the reasons why

316
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 12: I wanted to come here, is like I think that's

317
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 12: it's hard to like, you have so many really good

318
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 12: players on the offense, It's like it's hard to just

319
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 12: like hone in on anybody, and like it gives me

320
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 12: an opportunity to find like the nooks and crannies of

321
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 12: the defense that might not be covered.

322
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: So it was.

323
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 12: It was a cool experience for me, and I've been

324
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 12: trying to kind of find my footing there and find

325
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 12: my way and doing that. But I'm excited, like I

326
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 12: said before, I'm excited to really get this thing going

327
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 12: on offense and really score a lot of points.

328
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 5: So it'll be good.

329
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: It'll be good.

330
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: The touchdown was interesting. Seven offensive lineman Cody Ford three

331
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pounds lining up at full back. They're

332
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: obviously thinking the Bengals are going to try and stuff

333
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: it down their throat and there you are. Wide though.

334
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, that was a great play design by our

335
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 12: offensive staff and.

336
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 5: We detailed it up and obviously those are.

337
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 12: The nice ones right now in the goal line, It's

338
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 12: like that's those are the pretty ones of the nice ones.

339
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 12: There's a lot of dirty work to be done down there,

340
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 12: so looking forward to that and looking forward to getting

341
00:17:59,560 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 12: to that all.

342
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: So, so, how happy are you for the defense considering

343
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: how heavily scrutinized they've been to only give up sixteen points,

344
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: to get two takeaways and opening down.

345
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know what more you could ask

346
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 12: for them. Two takeaways, like you said, held them to

347
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 12: sixteen points. I think they they held into two yards

348
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 12: per carry or something like that. It's like, that's a

349
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 12: great showing for a defense. So I'm happy for all

350
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 12: those guys. They've put the work in and here disfe

351
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 12: Like from the time I've been there, been here, they

352
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 12: bust their butts.

353
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 5: So I'm happy for him.

354
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 12: It was expected, like I think that they're gonna put

355
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 12: keep putting great games together. So yeah, it's been it's

356
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 12: it's been awesome, and I'm looking forward to the rest

357
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 12: of the season.

358
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: For the last question for Noah Fant on the missed

359
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: field goal by Cleveland, he had missed a pat from

360
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: roughly the same distance. Do you think there's a chance

361
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: they'll miss again.

362
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't. I'm not sure it helped us.

363
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 5: So that's all I really care about.

364
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 12: I don't wish bad things on anybody, but that was

365
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 12: a great miss that we needed. So it was it

366
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 12: was a good thing for us, and we came out

367
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 12: with the win. That definitely helped us a lot because

368
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 12: of that. So I was happy with that and happy

369
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 12: to be able to get the win in the win column.

370
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 12: So that's what that mattered to us.

371
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Congrats on a great debut and a win.

372
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: Thank you.

373
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: So the Bengals practiced in the morning a training camp,

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: played their starters in the preseason games, and had more

375
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: physical practices. It didn't produce a masterpiece, but it did

376
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: result in a Week one win. Dave Lapham discussed it

377
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: with head coach Zach Taylor.

378
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 7: Coach, that was a physical football game. Do you think

379
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 7: training camp, the way you conducted your training camp this

380
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 7: year helped you in this encounter.

381
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 13: Our guys were ready, you know, physically, they were ready,

382
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 13: mentally they were ready. We knew there was gonna be

383
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 13: times or it wasn't clean. There was gonna be times

384
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 13: We faced adversity, we're just gonna have to stick together

385
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 13: and someone's gonna have to rise up and win it.

386
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 13: Our defense made some huge plays for us down the

387
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 13: stretch that allow us to win that game. So just

388
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 13: really proud of the effort all those guys gave. And

389
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 13: there's plenty to clean up and I'm happy, more than

390
00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 13: happy to clean it up after a win.

391
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 7: That's exactly right. I mean, win makes things so everything

392
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 7: tastes better, everything looks better. A win is what it's

393
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 7: all about. Plus two in the turnover department, that's big.

394
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 7: I mean, in the AFC North, games are going to

395
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 7: be won by teams that are a plus one plus

396
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 7: two plus three in the turnover battle. How proud are

397
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 7: you are?

398
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: That?

399
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 13: Extremely proud. That's a week one winning stat right there

400
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 13: is When it's a one score game like that, just

401
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 13: look at the turnover margin and see who won the

402
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 13: turnover managin, that's probably who won the game. And you

403
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 13: look at the New England game last year, that's exactly

404
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 13: what happened. You look at the Cleveland game this year.

405
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 13: That's how we got to turn in our favor.

406
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 7: Joe Burrow had what I would call in a fishing

407
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 7: day at the quarterback position. I mean, he did what

408
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 7: he had to do for you to win the football game,

409
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 7: had a touchdown, passed, no turnovers, kind of operated within

410
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 7: the confines of what you wanted to do game plan

411
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 7: wise and structure wise. How would you evaluate his performance today?

412
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: Good? Good?

413
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 13: Week one is no slouch, you know, especially playing defense.

414
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 13: Really proud of the guys up front. You know, they

415
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 13: really kept him clean. We had a three play stretch

416
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 13: there at the end of the game that was not

417
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 13: our best. All we're all accountable for that. But at

418
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 13: the same time, I thought, over the course of the day,

419
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 13: they gave us what we needed to be able to win,

420
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 13: and we know offensively will improve him. Before that was

421
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 13: not our best. We left a lot of meat on

422
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 13: the bone. But again I'm more than happy to make

423
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 13: those corrections coming out of a win.

424
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 7: When you go against that type of a defensive unit

425
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 7: where they have an unbelievable coach, they have a tremendous

426
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator, great position coaches, they're good teachers, and they

427
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 7: have all their guys on the same page doing, you know,

428
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 7: things exactly the way they're supposed to be done. That's

429
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 7: a difficult way to start, isn't it.

430
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: It's challenging.

431
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,239
Speaker 13: You had an experienced coordinator, experience defense, and again it

432
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 13: starts as ninety five. You know, he had to count

433
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 13: for him on every single play. He tries to find

434
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 13: a way to wreck every run, every pass, run at him,

435
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 13: run away from him, chip him, lick him, whatever you

436
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 13: got to do. He's difficult, and he finds a way

437
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 13: to affect the game at a key moment. And he

438
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 13: did it today and we're fortunate that we were able

439
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 13: to come some of that.

440
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 7: Two of the best edge defensive guys in the National

441
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 7: Football League, maybe in the history of the National Football

442
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 7: League in Miles Garrett and Trea Hendrickson. Both of them,

443
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 7: I thought put on a show. I mean, you know,

444
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 7: they're not playing against each other, they're not lining up

445
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 7: against each other. It's not that type of mono a

446
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 7: mono battle.

447
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 3: Bit man.

448
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 7: They did a lot of things to help their football teams,

449
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 7: didn't they.

450
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 3: They sure did.

451
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 13: And Trey again is a huge piece of what we're doing.

452
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 13: Just his presidence out there and to be able to

453
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 13: play with a lead at the end of the game

454
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 13: allows him to do what he does best. You know,

455
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 13: and Key got to throw at situations he's going to

456
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 13: affect the passer, they got to account for him with

457
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 13: somebody that can get down in the route. And so

458
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 13: I was happy with what he gave us today.

459
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 7: Coach, I thought you did an unbelievable job the way

460
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 7: you handled training camp in that the physicality like we

461
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 7: talked about. But with that said, you didn't overdo it.

462
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 7: You didn't beat guys up, you didn't knock guys heads

463
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 7: off and all that sort of thing. Everybody came into

464
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 7: this football game all hands on deck. How big was that?

465
00:22:59,520 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: Huge?

466
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 13: You know where you needed everybody in this game. And

467
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 13: so again proud of the way the guys have taken

468
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 13: care of it, embraced it. They understand why we practiced

469
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 13: the way we did. They understood when we were going

470
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 13: to get them a chance to get their bodies back,

471
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 13: and they came out and gave us their best effort.

472
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 7: Evan McPherson, I mean, in a game where it came

473
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 7: down to special teams, came down to kicking, Kevin McPherson

474
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 7: stepped up for you.

475
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: Didn't he he did?

476
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 13: You know, Evan's had a great consistent camp and we

477
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 13: got a lot of trust in him.

478
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Up next, the home opener is The Bengals open in

479

Speaker 1: one to zero after beating Carolina twenty six to ten.

487
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: the radio guys recap lap. I can't believe I'm about

488
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: to say this, but the Bengals won on opening day

489
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: in spite of their offense. The offense scored touchdowns on

490
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: two of the first three drives. Really struggled after that,

491
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: but defense and special teams turned out to be the difference.

492
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And the biggest difference was the pitiful performance of

493
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 7: the kicker for the Cleveland Brown special teams.

494
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: I mean, he left four points out.

495
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: There for that's a Syracuse grad. Be kind Yeah, I know, really.

496
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: Man, Let's go Orange. Well, let's go he did it

497
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: for us.

498
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 7: I love it, but man, that was a hard fought,

499
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 7: very physical football game. I mean, both teams left it

500
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 7: out there. They gave superlative effort. Everybody played every snap

501
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 7: as hard as they possibly could. Nobody gave up on

502
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 7: any snaps. It was a typical AFC North football game

503
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 7: and had to play it on the road in Cleveland

504
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 7: to open the season, so I mean there was some

505
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 7: brutality to it. It was not pretty. In fact, it

506
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 7: was brutally ugly. But I'll take a UW and ugly

507
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 7: win anytime over a pl a pretty lost.

508
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: Love a good u W. And to the Bengals, credit

509
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: special team's great play at the end of the game

510
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: to down the ball at the one and take eleven

511
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: seconds off the clock. I mean, other than some penalties,

512
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: they played mistake free football.

513
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 7: They did, and Darren Simmons has to be excited about

514
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 7: how they went out and performed. There were some new

515
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 7: guys on his special teams units, there always are, but

516
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 7: you know, I thought that the Bengals basically handled the

517
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 7: field position part of it. They never put themselves in

518
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 7: harm's way from a field position standpoint. And then Cleveland,

519
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 7: you know, I mean they get the ball down on

520
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 7: him at the one yard line. It was just a

521
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 7: phenomenal effort to down that football. I mean, had total

522
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 7: field awareness, knew exactly where he had to go to

523
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 7: keep that ball out of the end zone.

524
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: It was close.

525
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 7: I mean he was kind of tight roping that tight

526
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 7: roping that goal line a little bit. I mean, if

527
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 7: you stepped on it, it would have been a two

528
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 7: point play.

529
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 3: But it worked out.

530
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 7: And the Cincinnati Bengals, you know, are are winners in

531
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 7: this football game, and honestly, then I think they're gonna

532
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 7: win a lot of football games.

533
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about all the practices where the Bengals begin

534
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: with these ball disruption drills like four stations where guys

535
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: are punching it out and knocking up into the air,

536
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: et cetera, all in hopes of winning the turnover battle. Well,

537
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: they're up to zip to begin the season. Great reactions

538
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: by Jordan Battle and DJ Turner to come up with

539
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: those picks.

540
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I mean those were not, you know, easy picks.

541
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 7: They had a lot of work to do there. First

542
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 7: of all, their coverage was right on point, and that's

543
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 7: the first thing that I think jumps out at me

544
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 7: when I think about those plays and look forward to

545
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 7: watching them. Again, I thought that their coverage was dynamic

546
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 7: on those plays. And you know, if if a receivers

547
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 7: going to tip the ball, you know, defensive backs or ballhawks, man,

548
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 7: they're trained. They do all kinds of drills every single

549
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 7: day on you know, if the ball's airborne, it's your ball,

550
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 7: go up and get it. And the Bengals did that twice.

551
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 7: And that's you know, you can say a lot of

552
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 7: things about Joe in the game. It was not a

553
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 7: pretty game for Joe. In fact, Joe probably would not

554
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 7: say it's one of his better performances, obviously, but the

555
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 7: biggest thing that Joe did was not put the ball

556
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 7: in harm's way.

557
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: He gave his team a chance.

558
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 7: Every time they had the football, you know that they

559
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 7: had a chance to do something with it because he

560
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 7: wasn't giving it back to the Cleveland Browns right away.

561
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: The offense was so sharp in training camp and in

562
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: the preseason games, at least when the starters were out there.

563
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Did we more or less learn today that the Browns

564
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: defense is back? Is that why the offense struggled to

565
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: the extent that it did.

566
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 3: I really believe that.

567
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 7: I mean, I think Cleveland has the ability with the

568
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 7: personnel that they have and the defensive coordinator they have,

569
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 7: the scheme that he puts out there with those players.

570
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 7: And in doing the post game show a Zach he said,

571
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 7: believe me, they got plenty of players, and they got

572
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 7: plenty of really good football players, and they can do

573
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 7: a lot of things very well, and their coordinator puts

574
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 7: them in good position to take advantage of their physical

575
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 7: and mental skill sets. So uh that that was a

576
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 7: good defensive football team. They may not face, you know,

577
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 7: uh another defense as good as that Cleveland defense till

578
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 7: they play the other AFC North teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers

579
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 7: in the Baltimore Ravens. That's what this that's what this

580
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 7: division is all about. That's why I think it's so

581
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 7: encouraging to everybody in Bengal fans in particular, that the

582
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 7: Bengals did so much to improve their defense and to

583
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 7: you know, get get closer to what is going on

584
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 7: in the the other cities in the AFC North on

585
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 7: on that side of the football, and I think, uh,

586
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 7: I think they got the right guy to put it

587
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 7: all together. I'm very encouraged by what I've seen out

588
00:28:58,640 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 7: of Al Golden.

589
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: Give a hat tip to Duke Tobin in the personnel department,

590
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: because after training camp began, they signed Noah Fan four

591
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: catches in a touchdown today. They added Dalton Rise near late.

592
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: He winds up playing most of the game at right guard.

593
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: They picked up Mike Knell a week ago. Less than

594
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: a week ago. He played a chunk of snaps today.

595
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: So you usually don't think about guys added after the

596
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: start of training camp being huge factors on opening Day,

597
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: but they were.

598
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 7: They were, and some of them, you know, right before

599
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 7: the game. I mean literally had very little time to

600
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 7: familiarize themselves, you know, with the scheme and their teammates,

601
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 7: you know. And it hats off to the position coaches

602
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 7: and coordinators that spent time with those guys getting them

603
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 7: up to speed where they could go out there and

604
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 7: handle business, you know, against a defense of this caliber

605
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 7: up in Cleveland. I've seen a lot of AFC North

606
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 7: games up here, and it's always tough letting this defense

607
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 7: never bolds their tent. They never they never rolled over

608
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 7: and played dead. I mean, they're gonna make you earn

609
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 7: every center meter that you that you gain out there

610
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 7: in the stat sheets. So I think that those guys,

611
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 7: you know, made significant contributions, and and one of them inside.

612
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 7: You know, we talked about the interior of the offensive

613
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 7: line being a big key to success. I mean to

614
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 7: go out there and play with I mean very little

615
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 7: time to get familiar in acquainted with what was going on,

616
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 7: that's a.

617
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: That's a huge, huge plus.

618
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 7: And you know, to work as efficiently as you did

619
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 7: next to mems And and next to Ted Carris, that's

620
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 7: that's big time. That's that's NFL football right there, and

621
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 7: that's an NFL football player.

622
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure in you're playing days, there were games like

623
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: this where the offense didn't play nearly as well as

624
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: you anticipated, but the breaks went your way, the other

625
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: team missed the field goal or an extra point. What's

626
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: the emotion as an offensive player when you you sneak

627
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: out of the stadium with a win like that?

628
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I've been in you know, many games

629
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 7: over the years, NFL, college, high school, where you know,

630
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 7: it's like you go into the locker room after the

631
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 7: game and you know it didn't you didn't play all

632
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 7: that great individually and as a unit, and you just

633
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 7: go up to defensive players and you're hugging and you say, man, thanks,

634
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 7: I appreciate your man for saving our hide, saving our tail,

635
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 7: because you know, we didn't we didn't do what we

636
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 7: thought we were going to do today.

637
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: We had higher hopes, bigger.

638
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 7: Aspirations than than the you know, than the the bad

639
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 7: performance that we put out there today. So but the

640
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 7: good news is, you know it'll the warm will turn

641
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 7: the other way too, and the offense will you know,

642
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 7: save the save the defense on more than one occasion.

643
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 7: That's what good teams do. And in my mind, this

644
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 7: is a good football team.

645
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Well here you go. They gave up sixteen and opening

646
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: day last year and lost. They gave up sixteen and

647
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: opening day this year, and what I love it?

648
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 7: I love That's That's about as simple, you know, uh

649
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 7: a statement as you can make. And and you know,

650
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 7: I feel like defensively played winning football. Special teams played

651
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 7: winning football. Offensively didn't play winning football, but you know,

652
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 7: didn't do anything you know that was such a you know,

653
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 7: a bad scenario that you put the defense in a

654
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 7: situation that they couldn't crawl out of.

655
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: So all in all, it's a win.

656
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 7: What you want to do is you want to come

657
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 7: up to Cleveland on opening Day, do your rival quiet

658
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 7: the fans get a win. When we get on the bus,

659
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 7: as we drive out of this stadium, they'll all be

660
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 7: going nuts. I'm sure we'll see a lot of middle fingers.

661
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: It will be fun. They'll all be real happy and excited.

662
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: And as I have to say, you won by one, and

663
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: now what that fingers.

664
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 7: That's a good call, Dan, They'll be flipping us off

665
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 7: like crazy. But you know it's everybody will be laughing

666
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 7: and smiling in that in those buses.

667
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: For sure.

668
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: We remember when Cleveland was thought to be Joe Burrow's kryptonite.

669
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: He lost his first four starts of his career against

670
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: the Browns four and one since, so that narrative is

671
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: long gone.

672
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 7: It is, it's long gone, and you know, chuck up

673
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 7: another one. Joe Burrow is a class act. Joe Burrow

674
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 7: is a phenomenal football player. It means everything to him.

675
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 7: His life is his football. You know, he's got a

676
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 7: dad that was a successful coach at the collegiate level.

677
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 7: I mean that family is all about the game of football,

678
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 7: and I think it.

679
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: Always will be.

680
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: Could to be one and no, my man.

681
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: Excellent, awesome to be one and oh again the man.

682
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Last time the Bengals started the season with a win.

683
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: They finished the season in the Super Bowl. My first

684
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: game is the Bengals radio announcer was also in Cleveland,

685
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: a game that Cincinnati won on a fourth quarter touchdown

686
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: pass from Bruce Gradkowski to the subject of this week's

687
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: fun Fact segment. Time for some fun facts with one

688
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: of the greatest players in Bengals history, aj Green. If

689
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: a Bengals game is on, are you watching or does

690
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: it depend on what you have going on in your

691
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: regular life.

692
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 3: I'm always watching at some point, you know what I mean.

693
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, most part I'm watching that all times.

694
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: You played in ten games with Joe Burrow his rookie

695
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: year year, last year in Cincinnati. A year later he

696
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: was in the Super Bowl. What was different about Joe

697
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: from just about anybody else you played with.

698
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 3: I think his his leadership, not the aspect of him

699
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: just talking so much, is more leading that example, And

700
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: you want a quarterback who's the same guy every day,

701
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: and I think that's what separates him from the other

702
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: guys because you're gonna, you know what you're gonna get

703
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 3: out of Joe every week. And to play that position,

704
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: you have to be that low key. You can't be

705
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: a guy that's gonna be ra ra ra rao doing

706
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 3: a game because you have so much on your plate.

707
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: So for him to keep everything leveled, that would make

708
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 3: him so great.

709
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: You are a lead by example guy. Sounds like a

710
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: good match.

711
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was. This happened to be. I'm

712
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: a little older, coming up a couple of injuries, but

713
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: you know, I enjoyed my time playing with Joe and

714
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 3: I knew from day one that he's gonna be one

715
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: of the greatest that ever played this game. And never

716
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: put on the Bengal jersey.

717
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: You didn't overlap with Jamar. What do you like about

718
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: his game and his approach?

719
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 3: I think he just very confident and the play that position,

720
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: you have to be very confident, and I think that's

721
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: how he he's so great. He doesn't talk that much,

722
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: but you can tell you know, he got he got

723
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 3: it in him, you know what I mean. But his

724
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: runs out the catch, he's just a playmaker, man. He's

725
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 3: just a especially when he gets the ball in no

726
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: balls in his hands, he can take it at any

727
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 3: point at a time.

728
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: So we're visiting with aj Green. Who do you have

729
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: and why the twenty fifteen skill position group, yourself, Marvin Jones,

730
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu, Tyler, Riifert, Giovanni Bernard, Jeremy Hill or Jamar.

731
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 3: Chase, T.

732
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Higgins, Mike Kasicki, Andre Yosi, vash Chase Brown, samajp.

733
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: Ryn, Oh Man, that's tough. I think I'm taking us

734
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: top to bottom. I think running back tight end, I

735
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 3: think we had what me my omarv Yeah, if was

736
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl tight end, uh Geo could do it all.

737
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: I think I'm taking us.

738
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: Hard to go wrong either way, that's for sure. We're

739
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: having this conversation during the NFL Draft. What do you

740
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: remember about the lead up to the twenty eleven draft,

741
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: your contact of the Bengals and then all culminating with

742
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: being the fourth pick overall.

743
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 3: Oh, for me, I just remember having my whole family

744
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 3: there just felt surreal, just because that's what you dream

745
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 3: of your whole whole life and there and then you're

746
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: there in that moment, this having my name called, it

747
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: was like, oh my gosh, like at number four that

748
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 3: it was very special. That's a big mess. Probably probably

749
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: one of the best moment of my life.

750
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, it was still back in New York then,

751
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: had you ever.

752
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: Been no no, haven't. That was my first time in

753
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 3: New York City. That's a lot. That was the first

754
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 3: time my family ever flew on a airplane, probably some

755
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 3: of them. So it was just so real experiences to

756
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: have everybody there that saw little Aj grow up into

757
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: this this first round pick AJ.

758
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Do you know what team you caught the most touchdown

759
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: passes against?

760
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 3: Most touchdowns? Ravens?

761
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: Ravens is correct, Yeah, okay, you caught nine against Baltimore.

762
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh famously said, a couple of years into your career,

763
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: one of these days will figure out how to cover

764
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: Aj Green. What was it about the Ravens? Was it

765
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: how they covered you? Why did you dominate Baltimore so consistently?

766
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: I think we played each other so much, and the

767
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 3: games are always tough, so it's like just a matter

768
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: who made the most plays. Is no out tricking anybody,

769
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 3: so it's like me versus you a lot of the times.

770
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: So and they played a lot of man, they had

771
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: a lot of great corners in there, so just got

772
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: the best of them sometimes, so it was.

773
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 1: Good pretty frequently. Do you have a most memorable touchdown catch?

774
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: I think the playoff game Steelers, we should have won

775
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 3: that that was our chance. That's probably probably one of

776
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 3: the best moments of my career, just seeing the fans

777
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: and how close we were, just for pulling off that

778
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: that playoff win that we haven't had in there and

779
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 3: so long. So probably that that that touchdown.

780
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Was so I hate to pick the scab, but we're

781
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: going to go back. You catch that touchdown with one

782
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: fifty to go, you've got a one point lead. On

783
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: the very next play, Vontez comes up with the interception,

784
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: So now it's basically a minute and a half to go.

785
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: You've got the ball and the lead. In your mind

786
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: is the drought over?

787
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: Oh, the game's over. We celebrating already before we even

788
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 3: get to that locker room, like everybody's on the sideline

789
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: going crazy. And then the fumble happened, and then it

790
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: kept getting worse. I kept gott it getting worse after that,

791
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: And that's why the mostly disappointed time I in my

792
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 3: player career, just coming back into the locker room doing that.

793
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 3: We should have won that game.

794
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: Let me bring up another touchdown. This might have been

795
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: the most memorable in the regular season. Lent less than

796
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: ten seconds to go in Atlanta, I think seven seconds

797
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: to go you catch your touchdown pass from Andy and

798
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: what's become your hometown thirty seven thirty six win. Just

799
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: a crazy game and a game winning TD with less

800
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: than ten seconds to go.

801
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was That was another big one, especially being

802
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, all the Georgia fans. I had a lot

803
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 3: of family at that game and a lot of friends

804
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 3: at that game. So I remember straining like a little

805
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 3: bench route against cover two. I don't know what the

806
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 3: corner was doing, and he just put the ball placed

807
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 3: a great ball, and I slid and caught it.

808
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: So and Joe Mixon, who wasn't active, came flying down

809
00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: the field to try to tackle you.

810
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, Joe, I thought you hurt. You're flying down there,

811
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 3: almost knock me over. But that was a great game

812
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: as well.

813
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: Aj who is the toughest cornerback he faced the toughest

814
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: Probably Patrick Peterson is the best corner I ever Well,

815
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: him and Dora Reebs, dere Riz pat P and uh

816
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden.

817
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 3: You know the my three top corners that I faced.

818
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 3: Patrick Peterson was your draft Yeah yep, actually yeah, you

819
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 3: just retired, and he's he'd be your first Battle Hall

820
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 3: of the Famer for sure.

821
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: You and Andy Dalton will always be linked. What don't

822
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: people know or understand about Andy?

823
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: I think how good he was. I think people really

824
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: you don't appreciate how good he was at at at

825
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 3: the time that he was starting. And you look around

826
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: the lead it's only what six seven great quarterbacks, you

827
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: know what I mean. But to have him the way

828
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 3: the way we was consistently winning each and every year

829
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 3: nine wins, nine wins plus every year. I think he's

830
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 3: very underrated and probably one of the smartest guy I've

831
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: ever been around.

832
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: And he's still playing and.

833
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: Still playing and speaks volume. Man if like I said,

834
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: if you don't want to be a starter, to be

835
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback, and I'll take that job any day.

836
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: They need that for wide receivers where you don't take

837
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: care of.

838
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, right, you once you get over thirty, it's like,

839
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: oh it's time, but you get out of here, buddy.

840
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 3: But when you turn thirty in your quarterback like, hey,

841
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: you can mentor this young guy. So but I'm happy

842
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 3: for him. I talked to Andy. We talk all the time,

843
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: and you know, I went to his game last year

844
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: when he played the Bengal So it was fun. Like

845
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 3: we can.

846
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: We always talking, So who is your funniest teammate?

847
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 3: Andrew Hawkins? No hesitation, no hesitation, Like we just talked

848
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 3: and he sent us a video and he was shooting

849
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 3: a two B movie and I'm like, it's just a

850
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 3: guy that he does everything like, So probably my fun

851
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 3: like my best teammate and the funny.

852
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: You were uber competitive. Anybody that accomplishes the things you

853
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: accomplished has to be how do you get your competitive fix?

854
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 3: Now? Play a lot of golf and I think that's

855
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: that gets me because I'm not very good at it,

856
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 3: so it keeps me coming back each and every week.

857
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: But I think I just moved to a new phase

858
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 3: of my life just being now and just being a dad,

859
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 3: and that's probably I get that same feeling, you know,

860
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 3: especially when I see him playing well as well and

861
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 3: just watching them. They smile on the face when they

862
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: see me on the field or me coming to a game,

863
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 3: or we have those conversations coming back from a baseball

864
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 3: game when it's not so good and for him to

865
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: be like I'm telling him is okay, you know you eight,

866
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 3: You're gonna make mistakes. So just being a family man

867
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: and being a dad is probably the best joy in

868
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 3: my life right now.

869
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: Do you get nervous when you watch your boys play sports?

870
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 3: Of course I get the same feeling like I get

871
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: I used to get on Sundays and I'm not even playing,

872
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 3: so but I don't show that to him. He's just

873
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 3: out there having fun. But I definitely get nervous sometimes.

874
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: Is there anything on your bucket list in retirement? A

875
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: place you'd like to go, something you would like to

876
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: do or see.

877
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 3: I've hit some of those those buckles that I went

878
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 3: snowboarding for the first time last year, So the family

879
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 3: and I we went to Aspens for uh a couple

880
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 3: of days and got the snowboard and got the ski.

881
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 3: So I do all the adventure stuff. Now, go give

882
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: me another. I might give me an e bike, just

883
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 3: fly around downtown and just a little things like that.

884
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: Was that prohibited in your contract in your playing day,

885
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that?

886
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. And my wife wouldn't let me do that.

887
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 3: She wasn't gonna let me do that when I was playing.

888
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 3: So now that I'm not playing, I get to do.

889
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 3: Brought me a snowboard, so we go each year, go

890
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 3: and buy me an e bike, and I'm gonna go downtown,

891
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: get the boards. We're gonna e bikes, We're gonna ride

892
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: down the sidewalks and stuff like that.

893
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: I'm imagining the Bengals fan that goes to a ski

894
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 1: resort and suddenly sees aj Green on skis. That's gonna

895
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: be quite the freak out moment.

896
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, I have all the masks on,

897
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: so it's right. They don't see me. They don't see

898
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 3: me falling all the time. They like, who's this guy?

899
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: Who's this baby on the baby on the bunny slopes? Oh,

900
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 3: just have a grown man over here.

901
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: So I used to say your full name when you

902
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: caught touchdown passes. Do people randomly say Adriel Jeremiah Green.

903
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah all the time, especially at the baseball fields now,

904
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 3: so it's like they are like Adril Jeremiah at first space.

905
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, that's me.

906
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: Final question, This one's kind of deep. If you could

907
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: meet anybody in history, anybody living or deceased, who would

908
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: that person be?

909
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: For me? It's probably I think my brother at my

910
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: stage of my life, because I had an older brother

911
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 3: got killed in a car accident. I think that would

912
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 3: be the person that I ad met because growing up together,

913
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 3: you know, losing him at I was five, he was nine.

914
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 3: Just to see how he would react to where I'm

915
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: at today and what I've accomplished probably would have been

916
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 3: something special.

917
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: He would have been very proud and thrilled, no doubt,

918
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: as am I to a chance to visit with you again.

919
