It's the greatest thing since Jim 18 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: Kelly Junior. For the past thirty five years, University of 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Cincinnati football fans have been treated to exceptional radio color 20 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: commentary from Jim Kelly Junior, and for the past twenty 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: six of those years, it's been one of the choice 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: of my professional life to join Jim in the broadcast booth. 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: This past week, Jim decided to step away from the 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: mic for the rest of the season as he battles cancer. 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: I'll miss him, and I know that Bearcat fans will too. 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: The name Jim Kelly is synonymous with Bearcat Athletics. Between 27 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: Senior and Junior, there's been a Jim Kelly at UC 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: as a player, coach, administrator, or broadcaster nearly every year 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: since nineteen forty seven. That's seventy eight years of Bearcat history. 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: No family has meant more. I love Jim and the 31 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: Bearcat family does too. If you believe in a higher power, 32 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: join me in prayer for his recovery and return. Now 33 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: let's get to the radio replays. The first half was 34 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: a rough one for Jake Browning as he threw a 35 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: pair of interceptions that gave the Lions the ball in 36 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Bengals territory. Browning looking to throw his pass, who picked 37 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: off intercepted by a make Robertson defending Jamar Chase and 38 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: Detroit will take over at the seventeen of Cincinnati. Despite 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: the picks, the defense kept the Bengals alive. Trey Hendrickson 40 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: had a stripsack and the Lions punted three times before halftime, 41 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: allowing Cincinnati to hang in there before scoring. On the 42 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: final play of the half. Rookie long snapper William Wagner 43 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: will fire it back, trying to put Cincinnati on the board. 44 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: On the final play of the second quarter, Moneymack is ready, 45 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: so is Rico. Rico extending the hand, catches a high snap. 46 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: Here comes the kick from Evan McPherson, and he slams 47 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: it through the uprights from fifty yards away with ease. 48 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: Moneymack a perfect five for five on his field goal 49 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: tries this season, and the Bengals trail at the half 50 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: fourteen to three. Cincinnati got the ball to begin the 51 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: third quarter, but instead of scoring again to build momentum, 52 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: Browning through another backbreaking I int. Browning drops back to 53 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: throw steps into a throw up the scene intercept it 54 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: third pick of the day, Anzelonei running it back, stiff 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: arms Jamar Chase Jamar gets him out of bounds inside 56 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: the thirty yard line. That interception led to a touchdown, 57 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: and by the end of the third quarter, the Lions 58 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: scored another to lead twenty eight to three. Browning now 59 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: has eight interceptions in four games this year. 60 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: I think most of mine are trying to force plays, 61 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: you know, frustration. I wanted to push the ball on 62 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: the field, and you know, I got to pick my 63 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: spots better through three picks that were just bad. And 64 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: there's no hiding from that. It was bad football for me, 65 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: trying to force things that aren't there and as a result, 66 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: just completely screwing over you know, the team, and it hurts, 67 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: like there's no way to hide from it. It hurts, 68 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 3: and you know, I did not play well enough to 69 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: give our chance a team to win, and it's just brutal. 70 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: I need to play better and there's literally no hiding 71 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: from that. And I don't care if every person on 72 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: the team says they need to play better, Like it 73 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: starts with me playing better at the quarterback position and 74 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: not putting our team in difficult situations. And there's no 75 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: hiding from that. So like I let the whole team down, 76 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: and I feel like I let the fans down, and 77 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: you know, like I said, there's no hiding from that. 78 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: Like I did not play well enough to win the 79 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: game today, and I need to find ways to improve 80 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: and I will. You know, I'm never going to fold 81 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: or anything like that. Like I'm going to spend a 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: a lot of time here in the facility this week 83 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: trying to find ways to get better and put us 84 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: in a situation where we can win some games. 85 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, it hurts, and it should. 86 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: And you know, I feel a great responsibility to get 87 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: back on track. And I think for me, anytime I'm 88 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 3: going through something difficult, it's just, you know, double down 89 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: on work ethic and you know, see it all the 90 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: way through. And whether it gets better or not, you 91 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: know who that's to be determined and that's the unknown. 92 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: But I will not be because of lack of effort 93 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: and lack of dedication to trying to get better and 94 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: put our team in better situations to win. 95 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: Find we on the fourth quarter, we saw the Jake 96 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Browning who played so well in twenty twenty three and 97 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: who rallied the Bengals to victory in Week two versus Jacksonville, 98 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: as Cincinnati scored on three straight drives of sixty three 99 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: or more yards, crowding catches, the shotgun snap looking lap 100 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: Chase was covered. Now he's scrammed trying to avoid a sack. 101 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: Browning cocks the arm, throws into the end zone. Chase 102 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: catches it. Did he get both feet down? 103 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: He did? Touchdown Bengals Jamar Chase with Barishna coough like footwork. 104 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 5: If he was able to get his toes down in 105 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 5: the end zone. 106 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 4: Right, I'm sure they're gonna probably take another look at it. 107 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: But tap tap, All you have to do is get 108 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: that one toe in bounds. That's a touchdown in anybody 109 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 4: who's league. 110 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: Third down and fourteen, the Bengals have the ball at 111 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: their own thirty six shotgun snap, four man rush. Browning 112 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: steps into a deep ball got from our. 113 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 5: Chases, open over the shoulder catch at the twenty, and 114 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 5: he will walk into the end zone for a sixty 115 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 5: four yard Bengals touchdown. 116 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 4: Big time right there, Big time play by a big 117 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: time wide receiver. 118 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: Browning back at the seven, waiting for the snap from 119 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: Karis p Ryan is in the back. Chase motions out 120 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: live with the right. Browning looking left, throws into the 121 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: end to one a low throw. T Higgins goes down 122 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: and grabs it. Touchdown. 123 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 5: Bengals Jake Browning with his third touchdown. 124 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Pass up the fourth quarter. Here's Zach Taylor on the 125 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: way Jake Browning and the team finished. 126 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 6: I'm glad he hung in there, made some plays, forced 127 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 6: down the stretch. Three straight touchdown drives at the end 128 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 6: of the game. I'm sure a lot of people wanted 129 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 6: him on the bench at that point. I could hear it. 130 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 6: And you stuck with him, and he comes back and 131 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 6: has three straight drives for touchdowns. And that's that's the 132 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 6: Jake Browning. I know he's resilient. He'll sara versity in 133 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 6: the face. You can count on them and keep bouncing back. Obviously, 134 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 6: there's we got to protect the ball better to be 135 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 6: able to beat a team of that caliber. So we're 136 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 6: not going to run from that. But to sit here 137 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 6: and say I'm not proud of our football team for 138 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 6: the way that they fought back, that that wouldn't be true. 139 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 6: I'm extremely proud of these guys, the way that they 140 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 6: continue to fight and in the face of adversity when 141 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 6: it looks like it's real dim and all of a sudden, 142 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 6: there's some hope there that we can get this thing done. 143 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 6: And that's what this team's made of the five games 144 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 6: in that's what I'm counting on to get us through 145 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 6: this the last twelve games where we can go win 146 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 6: some games. I'm not oblivious to what goes on in 147 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 6: the AFC and their division. There's going to be plenty 148 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 6: of opportunity there if we can just get through this 149 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 6: storm and stick together and find a way to put 150 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 6: some better positions on offense together and score some points. 151 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 6: And I'm absolutely confident that we will get this thing 152 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 6: turned around and fans will want to be in the 153 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 6: stands because I get it right now, they're going to 154 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 6: want to be in the stands. And I look forward 155 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 6: to sold out crowds again, back to what we're used to, 156 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 6: and I promise you it's with every breath I got, 157 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 6: we're going to continue to work to get back to that. 158 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: The final score was Detroit thirty seven Cincinnati twenty four. 159 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: Browning through for two hundred and fifty one yards with 160 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: three touchdowns and three picks. Jamar Chase was his leading 161 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: receiver with six catches for one hundred and ten yards 162 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Here's what Jamar had to say after 163 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: the game. 164 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 7: We got to take advantage of every job, even the 165 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 7: first couple of drives. You know, we just made a 166 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 7: late at the end. You know it's too late. 167 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: It just remind you of what you guys are capable 168 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 2: of doing on offense after a couple of games.

That's what it's all about. Getting there. 172 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Two touchdown catches for you in the fourth quarter, one 173 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: for Tege. Does it begin with trying to get you 174 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: two guys the ball as much as possible? 175 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 7: I think we been doing that, you know. I think 176 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 7: it's just a tough task when everybody know what the 177 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 7: hell we doing. 178 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 179 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 7: So you okay, maybe we gotta work harder get it, 180 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 7: get the ball to us.

There's no 187 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 7: fun in me jumping in in the stands and doing 188 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 7: all the extra who red who row stuff? 189 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: When we losing? 190 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 7: Uh, especially as a cat, you know, the guys look 191 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 7: at me to hold my composure and be a leader, 192 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 7: and and at that moment, you know, the best thing 193 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 7: to do is just that bareverybody, I'm telling them, good 194 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 7: job and work on the next possession. 195 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 2: Is a ball still fun for you right now? Or 196 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: is it just mostly frustrating? 197 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 7: Football is always fun, It's just not as fun when 198 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 7: you're losing. You facing adversity. We gotta keep we gotta 199 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 7: keep knocking the treat on til they fall. So just 200 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 7: gotta keep playing. 201 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 2: Is it hard to tamp your frustration down for the 202 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: first three quarters? 203 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 7: Still something good happens? 204 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just nothing's happening. 205 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 7: I play a lot of fire underneath me, man, and 206 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 7: I'll play with a lot of with a lot of emotion. 207 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 4: Man. 208 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: I let his game. I've always did let his game. 209 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 7: But you know, you you you're gonna get frustrated in 210 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 7: this game. 211 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: You know you can. 212 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 7: You not gonna sit here and tell me you gonna 213 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 7: make a mistake and be happy about it. That's that's 214 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 7: that's not That's not how life works. At the end 215 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 7: of the day. If you make any mistake in life. 216 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 7: You're gonna be mad at it and try to do 217 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 7: it again later, but fix it. All I can do 218 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 7: is is just like I said, be positive, be a 219 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 7: cabinet to my guys, and just keep pushing forward. 220 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: It feels strange to say it after the other team 221 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: scored thirty seven points, but the Bengals defense gave them 222 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: a chance by getting a takeaway and forcing the league's 223 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: best offense to punt five times. Detroit had seven possessions 224 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: with two or fewer first downs. 225 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 6: Our defense has given us what we needed these first 226 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 6: half of these games. It's hard to stay that out 227 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 6: of four quarters when there's turnovers and there's punts and 228 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 6: there's no points going on the board, especially against teams 229 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 6: like that in Denver, who can do a little bit 230 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 6: of everything and keep you on balance and call all 231 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 6: their fun things when they're play caller. Season's twenty one 232 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 6: to three. What's the worst thing that can happen if 233 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 6: I call this play and it doesn't work. We're still 234 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 6: up twenty one to three. So we put them in 235 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 6: an incredibly difficult bind. And all they have done is 236 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 6: bow up and try to do everything they can to 237 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 6: keep our team in the game, and I got to 238 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 6: do a better job is to play caller to bail 239 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 6: them out. 240 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson had two of the Bengals four sacks, giving 241 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: him four and five games, but that didn't give him 242 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: much satisfaction after the loss. 243 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 8: Goals are to win the games, right, and there's a 244 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 8: lot to correct on film, and you know, we have 245 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 8: a resilient group. We're still finding that team identity. There's 246 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 8: a lot to be proud of on defense, and there's 247 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 8: a lot we need to correct on defense. So you know, 248 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 8: keep chopping wood, it'll break. You know, it's a National 249 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 8: Football League. Hard work works. I'm a firm believer in that, 250 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 8: and you know I've done a good job of taking 251 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 8: care of my business. But that's not necessarily what it takes. 252 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 8: You know, we missed the playoffs over the last two years. 253 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 8: You know that's that's not where we want to be. 254 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 8: So I want to win as a captain and lead 255 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 8: these guys where we're supposed to go. So we got 256 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 8: a lot to fix. Like you said, there's some things 257 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 8: that are good on tape. You know, pat yourself on 258 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 8: the back for a second, and then let's look at 259 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 8: the place that we need to fix because you got 260 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 8: to forget the good things quick, you got to forget 261 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 8: the bad things faster. 262 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: So here's how things look in the AFC nor the 263 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Steelers had to buy and sit on top of the 264 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: division at three and one. The Bengals are still alone 265 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: in second at two and three. Without Lamar Jackson, the 266 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: Ravens lost at home to Houston forty. 267 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: Four to ten. 268 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: As backup quarterback Cooper Rush through three interceptions. Baltimore is 269 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: one in four and faces the Rams next week. The 270 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: Browns are also one in four after losing to the 271 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: Vikings in London twenty one to seventeen. Cleveland has not 272 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: topped seventeen points in ten straight games going back to 273 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: last year.

The Bengals 280 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: came to life in the fourth quarter Jake Browning threw 281 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: three touchdown passes, two to Chase one to Higgins, but 282 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: in his news conference after the game, he was really 283 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: down on himself for the way he performed in the 284 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: first three quarters, basically saying he felt like his interceptions 285 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: cost the Bengals the game. 286 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: I can understand why he'd say that. You know, he's 287 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 4: the quarterback, he's the leader, the young questioned leader of 288 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 4: the football team. Now that Joe Burrow is incapacitated, unable 289 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: to do anything physically to help the football team win games, 290 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 4: and the team's gonna look at Jake Browning. They're gonna 291 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: look at Jake Browning for leadership, They're gonna look to 292 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 4: him for solid play, They're going to look to him 293 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 4: to throw the ball better than he did today. I'm 294 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 4: sure he's the first talk to him a little bit 295 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: as well. He talked about how he felt like he 296 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 4: threw the ball terrible. M not going to say what 297 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 4: he said, but it was bad. So bottom line is, 298 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 4: what do you do well? Do you fold your tent? 299 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 4: Do you you know, pack your bags up and go 300 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: home and inside you're going to quit playing football and 301 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: national football? He go, no, come back and you fight 302 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 4: your ass off, and I think that's what Jake brown 303 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 4: is going to do. I think that's in his DNA, 304 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 4: that's his personality, and he's going to have to do 305 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 4: it quickly. Got to get the worm turned. You got 306 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: to turn the season around. These three losses in a 307 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 4: row are all bad, one after another, one worse than 308 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: the other. So we're gonna have to change that direction quickly. 309 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: If the Bengals had not scored touchdowns in the fourth quarter, 310 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: we know it, next week would have looked like everybody 311 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: would have been saying, Jake's gotta go go out and 312 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: trade for a quarterback or start one of the guys 313 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: that you have. Some people still say that I get it. 314 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: He really played poorly for the first three quarters, but 315 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: at least in the fourth you saw reason for hope 316 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: that he can be the guy that he was in 317 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three when he played well in the last 318 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: seven games. 319 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: Agreed, Dan, you know, and two guys that saw it, 320 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 4: lived it were right there with him while he did it, 321 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: or Zach Taylor and Dan Pitcher, and they have confidence 322 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: in Jake Browning still, and those are the two guys 323 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: that have to have confidence in Jake Browning. Those are 324 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 4: the two guys that Jake Browning looks to for leadership 325 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 4: for him and to exhibit confidence in him so he 326 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 4: feels like, you know, he can go out there and 327 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: perform it at his highest level. He wants to make 328 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 4: those guys proud of him. There's no question. He wants 329 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 4: to have those guys trust him that he won't turn 330 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 4: the football over and that he'll he'll make plays with 331 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 4: the football and ultimately win football games for this for 332 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 4: this organization. The organization believes in him, The franchise believes 333 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 4: in him. I know that Mike Brown and the Brown 334 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 4: family and the Blackburn family all believe in Jake Browning 335 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 4: as a backup quarterback one of the best in the 336 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 4: National Football League Now is everybody's saying he's one of 337 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: the top thirty two, or he'd be a starting quarterback somewhere. 338 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 4: You know, they would have traded him or whatever and 339 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 4: he'd be a starting quarterback somewhere. But honestly, you know, 340 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 4: I think they're happy and thankful that they didn't if 341 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: there was any trade to be talked about, that they 342 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 4: didn't consimate any trade because you know, Joe unfortunately went 343 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 4: down and Joe Burrow. Shoot, he's best quarterback in the 344 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 4: National Football League in my opinion, and until until somebody 345 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 4: else proves me wrong, and in my opinion, is going 346 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 4: to take a lot, going to take multiple Super Bowl wins. 347 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 4: You know, I just think that you give Joe Burrow 348 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 4: talent and opportunity to perform and show what he's got 349 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: in terms of ability to throw the football, throw it 350 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 4: accurately with velocity, He'll win games. Jake Browning will too. 351 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 4: Jake Browning has been in the classroom with Joe Burrow 352 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 4: for a long time and with Dan Pitcher for a 353 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 4: long time. That relationship is ironclad and it's. 354 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: Not going to go anywhere. 355 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: How well did the defense play? The Lions scored thirty 356 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: seven points too, came out of safety, two touchdowns on 357 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: really short fields after interceptions. Did the defense play reason 358 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: to play well against that offense? 359 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 4: I think so, Dan, I think honestly, you know, if 360 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 4: the offense had not had an off day in terms 361 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 4: of turnovers and safeties, and I think they could have 362 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 4: won the football game, or you know, been damn close, 363 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 4: would have been down to the wire, you know, like 364 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 4: a two minute drill to decide the football game. The 365 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 4: outcome of the game. And that's encouraging because Detroit's a 366 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 4: hell of a football team. Dan camb was a hell 367 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 4: of a coach. You know, they've got a great organization. 368 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 4: They've staffed and stacked that organization with tons of good 369 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 4: players everywhere. I mean, they don't have like, oh my god, 370 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 4: that guy doesn't belong in the NFL anywhere. You know, 371 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 4: they've they've got people that certainly do belong and perform 372 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 4: at a higher level than just belonging. They're good, solid, 373 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 4: fundamentally sound, good foundation to work from football players. 374 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: The pass protection today was leaky at times. They obviously 375 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: gave up the safety, but I didn't feel like Brownie 376 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: was under constant duress in this game. Was it an improvement? 377 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 378 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 4: I thought there were times. There are always going to 379 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 4: be times. Having played that position, I know what it's like. 380 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 4: I mean, these guys are damn good that you're working against, 381 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 4: and they can any particular pass rush. They can break 382 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 4: you down at some point in time and finish a 383 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 4: play that you couldn't finish. But overall, I thought the 384 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 4: pass protection was solid and sound. I think Scott Peters 385 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 4: is He's not going to be thrilled with it. But 386 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: I think he's going to be like the worm's turning 387 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 4: in the right direction. We're improving. We were much better 388 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 4: this week in pass protection than we were the last couple. 389 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,239 Speaker 1: You talked to Trey Hendrickson after the game. What kind 390 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: of vibe did you get from Trey? 391 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 4: Just a state of I don't know, bewilderments, too strong, 392 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 4: confusion maybe. I mean, he just can't understand how and 393 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 4: why this is happening, you know, too sad game. I 394 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 4: congratulated him on his game, and he was, you know, 395 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 4: very grateful for you know, the congratulations, and I mean 396 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 4: that guy busts his ass now. He works his tail off, 397 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 4: he really does, and the game is so important to him. 398 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 4: Teammates are so important to him. 399 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 8: You know. 400 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: He's a man of faith and football and in the 401 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 4: Good Lord or what his life is all about. And 402 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 4: his family. He's got a beautiful wife and child now, 403 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 4: so you know, he talked about that part of it 404 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 4: as well, and kind of like all encompassing, you know, family, faith, teammates, football, 405 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 4: There's a lot going on in his life and he's 406 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 4: handling it and handling it well. The guy's a star, 407 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: you know, he's He's a great player, one of the 408 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 4: it's not the best, one of the best pass rushers 409 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 4: in the National Football League. And he plays the run 410 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 4: pretty damn solidly too. Now he's sound. This guy can 411 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 4: play ball. 412 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: Jake Browning took over for Joe Burrow in a particularly 413 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: tough stretch of the schedule at Minnesota at Denver on 414 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: Monday night home against Detroit, coming off of fifteen and 415 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: two season now off to Green Bay, followed by Thursday 416 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: night football against Pittsburgh. He did catch a tough draw. 417 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt about. 418 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 4: It, Bingo, no doubt about it. Dan once again, I mean, 419 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 4: you're you're in a stute football guy. I mean, that's 420 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 4: murderer's role.

You're in 423 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: the locker room showered after the game, and you're reflecting 424 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 4: back on it and thinking about the game and the 425 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 4: ebb and flow of the game, and it's like, oh 426 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: my gosh, there was you know, more ebb than flow. 427 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 4: And I'd like to get that turned around. But he's uh, 428 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 4: he is in a tough stretch. But that's what you 429 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 4: sign up for. I mean, when you decide you're going 430 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 4: to play in the National Football League, you're the best 431 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 4: of the best. I mean, he was an outstanding high school, 432 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 4: college and now professional football quarterback. So that's what he's 433 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 4: paid to do. That's that's why he makes the bucks, 434 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 4: the big bucks. And he understands that, and he knows. 435 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 4: He knows he's gonna get ridiculed. He knows he's gonna 436 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 4: get ripped.

So I mean, uh yeah, I 502 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 2: definitely just I try to choose my own path whoever 503 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 2: who I'm going to support, but I did gravitate towards 504 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: those hometown teams. 505 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: We're visiting with Barret Carter. When did it become clear 506 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: that you stood out among your peers in sports? 507 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 2: Hm, I would say my eighth grade year in football, 508 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: Like I played football just always because it was so fun, 509 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: and I was also like the biggest one on the field, 510 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: So I was just I guess I was naturally I 511 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: don't want to say the best, but I was pretty good. 512 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 2: But then my eighth grade year, I was just I 513 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 2: was pretty dominant and that after that year, it just 514 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: really showed me that I can maybe do something with this. 515 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 2: And fast forward to my freshman year, I got my 516 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 2: first scholarship offer, and I was like, wow, like this 517 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: is really like what I've been working towards every single day, 518 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 2: and now I was like really becoming a reality. And 519 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 2: that really just made me work even harder just to 520 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 2: not just or to just keep stacking offers and just 521 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: keep any more attention from colleges. So I would say, 522 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: in my eighth grade and then going to my freshman year. 523 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: I know, you played offense early in high school and 524 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: then got switched to linebacker, and reportedly you were devastated 525 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: by the change. Have you grown to love linebacker? 526 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: I have, and it was I literally wanted to quit football. 527 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: But the next day when I got I switched, I 528 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: was running back receiver. I switched the linebacker, and I 529 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: was almost quit football. Then the next day I got 530 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: my first scholarship offer. So I mean, the Lord works 531 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: in mysterious ways. But I've grown to love this side 532 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 2: of the ball so much, and I love how how 533 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: hard it is. Like you know, I'm not saying playing 534 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: offense is easy, but you know, when you're playing defense, 535 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: you have to react to whatever the offense is doing, 536 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 2: and you don't know what they're running, and all you 537 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: can do is go off of your preparation, your studying 538 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: and your film and just you know, just your God 539 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 2: given ability. But I love that defense, that challenge and 540 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: how precise you have to be and how on point 541 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: you have to be with your keys. And I embraced 542 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: that challenge. So I wouldn't I wouldn't change my path 543 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 2: and I wouldn't want to have it any other way. 544 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: So I love the side of the ball playing linebacker. 545 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: You attended North Quinnet High School, that's the alma mater 546 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: of a Bengals fan favorite tight end cj Uzama. Did 547 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: you hear about CJ? From coaches and teachers and have 548 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 1: you ever met I don't. 549 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: We've met before because he came and spoke to us, 550 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: but like surprisingly, we actually lived in the same neighborhood. 551 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 2: We lived in the same neighborhood back in Georgia, but 552 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: just growing up in Swane, you always heard that name, 553 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: and you know, you always wanted to strive to be 554 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 2: like those older guys who paved the way. And I 555 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: just have so much respect for him, just what he 556 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 2: did in the league and how he always came back 557 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: to his community and just gave his time, his knowledge, 558 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: and his wisdom back. And you know, I hope that 559 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: I can be something like that and more, just keep 560 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 2: giving back what was instilled into me. So CJ will 561 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 2: always be a legend in my eyes, a big brother 562 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: and you know, a great a great man to look 563 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: up to. 564 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: You were one of the top linebackers in the country 565 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: your senior year of high school. You could have gone anywhere. 566 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: Where did you visit? Who I visited? Clemson obviously, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, 567 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 2: and Ohio State. So those were like my final final five, 568 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 2: and I ultimately chose Clemson just because it was the 569 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 2: right fit for me. You know, I was looking for 570 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: a place where I can you know, grow in all 571 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: areas of life and you know, not just talking about football, 572 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: but all areas. And you know, I can truly say 573 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: I walked into Clemson aboard and I came out of 574 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: man and that's all that I was looking for. And 575 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 2: you know, the football stuff was going to handle itself. 576 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: But so what I did, what I was able to 577 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: accommis there was is a blessing and I wouldn't trade 578 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,239 Speaker 2: those four yous for the words, but yeah, those are 579 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: those are my finalists and the place that I was 580 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: visiting it. 581 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: Certainly worked out well. You run some great teams at Clemson, 582 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: your team made it to the College Football Playoff last year. 583 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: What was the best part of your overall college experience. 584 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: I'll say I'll give one on the field and one 585 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: off the field. I'll say this is going to be surprising. 586 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 2: My junior year, at worst, we were four and four, 587 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: Like at one point, we were four and four throughout 588 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: the year. And if you know anything about Clemson, anything 589 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: about their fans, they're very passionate about that team, and 590 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: being four and four in Clemson is not not a 591 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 2: sweet place to be. And so I would say finishing 592 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 2: off that year and winning the Gator Bowl in the 593 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 2: way that we won it, like it was just special 594 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 2: And I cried after that game. I cried after we 595 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 2: won the Gator Bowl, and it was just such a 596 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 2: special win for you know, we were four and four 597 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 2: and we rallied and we finished off the season nine 598 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 2: and four, and it was just carry so much momentum 599 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: to the next year. So that's on the field and 600 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: then off the field, I'll say graduating, just because after 601 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: my junior year, I was unsure if I was going 602 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: to leave go or come back. And it was a 603 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: really tough decision weighing on my heart, and I decided 604 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: to come back and I finished, and I set out 605 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 2: that was my goal to graduate, be All American, be 606 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: a team captain. And that's what I did. And so 607 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 2: I came back and I graduated, and that was such 608 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: a big accomplishment for me. 609 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: Since twenty twenty, college football players have been allowed to 610 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: wear the number zero. You were the first player to 611 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: do it at Clemson. 612 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: Was that a big deal to you? Honestly, I didn't 613 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: realize it was a big deal until, like I got 614 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: to Clemson, because I committed to Clemson and I texted 615 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: coach Shwiny, like what single digit numbers y'all have available? 616 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 2: Because I were number one in high school, so it 617 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: was just what I was used to and now he 618 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: said zero's only thing. I was like, all right, let's 619 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: do it. And then I get to Clemson and like 620 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: they had there, like you said, there was no zeros before, 621 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: and then I was the first one, and all like 622 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: that's like all forever being history just because I'm the 623 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: first number zero. So it was special, and I hope 624 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: that you know that's just a legacy at Clemson, just 625 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 2: for decent players to wear that number and just keep 626 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: carrying on that tradition. So I hope that you know 627 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 2: that's that's that's gonna become a thing at Clemson. 628 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: We're chatting with Barrett Carter. You were a fourth round 629 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: picking this year's draft. Describe the moments leading up to 630 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: the pick and then the feeling you got when the 631 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: phone rang. 632 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: The most stressful, nerve wracking time of my whole life, 633 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: because the whole process is so like you don't know anything. 634 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 2: Like you can you can get all these predictions. You 635 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: can talk to your agents and acts like what are 636 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: they saying whatever, But until you get the phone call, 637 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 2: you don't know what's going on in that draft room. 638 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 2: So I mean, i'd be lying to you if I 639 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: told you all if I thought I was gonna go 640 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 2: fourth out. I thought I was gonna go earlier. But 641 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: you know, the Lord makes no mistakes. And you know, 642 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: when I got that phone call, it was the best 643 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: feeling in the world. Just all the weight on my 644 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: shoulders were just completely lifted, and I was like I 645 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: was immediately, just like, let's get to work. Like I 646 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: cried so much Friday night because I didn't get my 647 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 2: name called and I was pissed off, and I was 648 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: just so much, so many different emotions. But when I 649 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: saw I think it was a five one three area code, 650 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 2: that's yeah. So I saw the five one three and 651 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: I saw Cincinnati, I was like, let's do it, Like, 652 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 2: let's get to work. And I was just ready from 653 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 2: that moment on and I'm just ready to just leave 654 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 2: my leave my market in Cincinnati. All right, a few. 655 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: Wild card topics to wrap things up. It looks like 656 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: you did a ton of community service when you were 657 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: at Clemson, particularly with schools. 658 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 2: Why I remember, I was, you know, that little kid 659 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: and seeing the older athletes come in and read to 660 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: us and spend time with us, and I just thought 661 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: that was the coolest thing, because I was, I was, 662 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: I just admired that. I admire that, you know, they 663 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: took the time out of their day when they could 664 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: have been doing anything else and they came to spend 665 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 2: time with us. And I made a promise to myself, 666 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 2: like when I get to that, when I get to 667 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: that age, I'm gonna give back and I'm gonna I'm 668 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: gonna be that figure that those kids look up to 669 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: and those kids love, and you know, whatever it may be, 670 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: but it's just a it's a promise that I made 671 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 2: to myself. Just I'm gonna get back my time. I'm 672 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: gonna get back to nowedge was instilled into me, and 673 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: now I'm gonna I'm gonna do that for us to 674 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: rest of my life. 675 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: If you could swap jerseys with any player in NFL history, 676 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: who are you swapping jerseys with? 677 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: Probably ray Lewis. Just he's someone that I grew up 678 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 2: just admiring and watching, especially when I switched the linebacker, 679 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: Like a big thing for me was the mindset and 680 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 2: like the mentality that you have to have to play 681 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: that position. He's just epitome of that. Like he's he 682 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: doesn't matter who you are, He's gonna go after you 683 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 2: and try to try to hunt you. So I would 684 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: say ray Lewis, And I actually talked to him last 685 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 2: last year in the summer. Coach Sweeney put me on 686 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 2: the phone with him, and it was I was just 687 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 2: so starstruck. I didn't know what to say. But he's 688 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 2: someone that I grew up washing and grew up admiring, 689 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: so I would say Ray Lewis all right. 690 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: Final fun fact for Barret Carter. This one's kind of deep. 691 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: If you could meet anyone in history, living or deceased, 692 00:33:59,000 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: who would that person be? 693 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 2: I would say, I have two, So I have to 694 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: give an athlete in a non athlete, I'll say Lebron 695 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: James because that's just that's my that's my guy. I 696 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: grew up watched, Yeah, Lebron for sure. Lebron James and 697 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 2: Denzel Washington. He's my favorite actor. I just watched both 698 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 2: or all three Equalizer movies and that just made me 699 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: love him even more so. Lebron James and Denzel Washington. 700 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: Denzel is so good, so good, so. 701 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 2: Good, the best, not that Lebron isn't. But I'm really 702 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: with you, Denzel. You can't go on with either, so 703 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 2: I'll say those two. 704 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: This has been great.
