Now, 23 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: let's get to football. Many of the bengals best players 24 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: didn't take the field in the preseason opener at Kansas City, 25 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: including aj Green, Joe Mixon, Giovanni, Bernard Tyler, Reifer, Geno Atkins, 26 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Karl Lawson, and Will Jackson, either due to injury or 27 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: to make sure they don't get hurt in a game 28 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't count. But Andy Dalton did take the field. 29 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: It's important for him to get at least some live 30 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: varience with Zach Taylor calling the plays, and things could 31 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: not have gone better. On the Bengals opening drive, third 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: down and eleven at the Kansas City forty yard line, 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Autum Tate goes in motion out to the right, just 34 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: outside the numerals shotgun snap. Dalton, looking left now dumps 35 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 1: it off to a running back for a screen tray 36 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: ViOn Williams charging up the numerals, he'll pick up a 37 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: first down. On third and eleven, he gets tackled at 38 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: the Kansas City twenty seven. Dalton floats one four tight. 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: He high points the ball and he pulls it in. 40 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: He's tackled inside the one. It will be first in 41 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: goal as autum Tate used his height to pull it 42 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: in over chart various ward. Trevion Williams remains the running back. 43 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: Dalton gives it to him again and Williams goes low 44 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: and takes it into the end zone for an opening 45 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: touchdown for Cincinnati. We are in the locker room with 46 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: rookie running back trey ViOn Williams. Let the records show 47 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: the Bengals scored a touchdown on the opening drive of 48 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: the preseason, and you scored it in your first NFL 49 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: preseason game. You've got an ear to ear grin. It's 50 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: a great moment, man. It's crazy. You know, growing up 51 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: you have wishes of planning in NFL and just like 52 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: just walking on the field before the game, you know, 53 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: just thinking like wow, this is this is actually happened. 54 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, me being in my first NFL game and 55 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: then being able to escort at NFL touchdown and my debut. 56 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's a blessing. So I thank God and 57 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: thank my teammates. And thank his organization for giving me 58 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity. It was a fourteen play, seventy five yard 59 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: touchdown drive that chewed up nearly half of the first quarter. 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: Dalton went seven for nine for eighty yards and only 61 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: made one bad throw slightly under throwing Josh Malone and 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: what would have been a thirty nine yard touchdown. Yeah, 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: it just surprised me a little bit. I wasn't ready 64 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: to really get it out there, and so I left 65 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: it short. Unfortunately that the drive shouldn't have been a 66 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: fifteen play drive. It should have been a ten play drive. 67 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: But I mean for us to overcome overcome that too. 68 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was close. Considering that it Zach's debut. 69 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Was it cool to go back to the sideline after 70 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: the opening drive and essentially say, okay, how's that? Yeah? 71 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: I thought it was good. Now obviously happy for him. 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: You know, to to get the ball, get the kickoff 73 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: and drive down, score touchdown. I think that's that's what 74 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: you want to do. I mean, the first time being 75 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: the head coach, first time out there, you know, call 76 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: and plays for us, it's you want to score every 77 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: time you got the ball, and so for us to 78 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: do in the first one was big. Dalton was done 79 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: after one drive, and then the NFL's reigning MVP took 80 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: his turn. Twenty three year old Patrick Mahomes started the 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs first drive with a thirty seven yard laser to 82 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey. That was the big strike. On a seven 83 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: play eighty three yard touchdown drive second and goal from 84 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: the one for KC. Mahomes takes a shotgun snap. It's 85 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: a handoff to hide Andy thunders into the end zone 86 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: for a Kansas City touchdown. Mahomes was four for four 87 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: for sixty six yards. It also had a ten yard run. 88 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: Here's Bengals linebacker Hardy Nickerson on why the Chiefs are 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: so darn hard to defend. They come out in all 90 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: type of formations, all type of different plays, different runs 91 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: with passes, combos off of it. So it was a 92 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: lot of It was a lot of plays on the perimeter, 93 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, chasing sideline the sideline definitely we see a 94 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: lot kind of in our offense. So it was it's 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: one of those games where you're running a lot, you 96 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: get a little tired. I would think more like exhausted 97 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: from chasing the fastest team on offense in the NFL. 98 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: The Chiefs already had Tyree Hill and Sammy Watkins. In 99 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: the second round of the draft this year, they selected 100 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: wide receiver me Cole Hardman out of Georgia, who ran 101 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: a four three three forty at the combine. Here's a 102 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: jet suite Hardman to the ten, the five and into 103 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: the end zone for Kansas City touchdown that gave the 104 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs of fourteen seven lead, and a field goal in 105 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: the final minute of the second quarter made it seventeen 106 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: seven KC. The Chiefs were the highest scoring team in 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: the nf FELL last year, and when the Bengals faced 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: them in Week seven, Cincinnati didn't force a single punt. 109 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: The Bengals forced four of them on Saturday Night, but 110 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: since it was a preseason game, the sure handed Alex 111 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: Ericsson was not. The Bengals punt returner Phillips waits for 112 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: this punt back at the twenty five. This one much better. 113 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: Phillips back pedaling, good hang time. He tops it at 114 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: the nineteen. This time it does not bounce right back 115 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: into his stomach. There's a pile at the nineteen yard 116 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: line Kansas City and the Chiefs recover. It's a killer. 117 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Two plays after the second muffed punt of the night 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: by Darius Phillips. Chase Litton threw a touchdown pass to 119 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: Darwin Thompson, giving the Chiefs at twenty four to seven lead. 120 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: The Bengals got three points back on a forty seven 121 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: yard field goal by Tristan Viscano in his NFL preseason debut. 122 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: The next time the Chiefs punted, Quinton Flowers went back 123 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: to return it. Call quit launches it, Flowers, that's it bounced. 124 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: There are a couple of Bengals right there. It might 125 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: have hit a Cincinnati player on the leg. Yeah it did, 126 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs recover. Unbelievable. Chiefs will take over at 127 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: the Bengals thirty five yard line, and that led to 128 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: a fourteen yard touchdown pass from Lytton to Dion Yelder 129 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: that made it thirty one ten going to the fourth quarter. 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: The biggest bright spot in the second half of the 131 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Bengals was the play of rookie quarterback Ryan Finley, the 132 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: fourth round draft pick out of nc STAY directed a 133 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: nine play, sixty seven yard drive that ended with the 134 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: bengals second touchdown of the night. From the ten yard line. 135 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Finley catches the shotgun snaps scanning the defense. Now 136 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: he frows it has caught at the seven at Ellis, 137 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: We'll run it into the end zone for a Bengals touchdown. 138 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: Blue coverage that time, nobody picked up back out of 139 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: the backfield. Finley stepped up in the pocket and he 140 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: surveyed everything through right, never came back to the left, 141 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: stepped up and said, oh my gosh, nobody's got my 142 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: running back, No linebacker, no safety's got my back out 143 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: of the backfield. Little pitch and catch for a touchdown. 144 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: We're in the locker room with rookie running back Jordan Ellis, 145 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: who found the end zone in his first NFL preseason 146 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: game on that touchdown pass from Ryan Finlay. It's got 147 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: to be a nice feeling to catch the ball, turn 148 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: around and don't see anybody standing in your way from 149 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: the goal line. It's definitely crazy my first touchdown, you know, 150 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: be untouched, but man, it's definitely it definitely still feels surreal. 151 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Doesn't even feel like it really happened. But just bless 152 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: my God to behind my first touchdown my first game. 153 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just a blessing and I'm just 154 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: looking forward to many more in the NFL. Finlay finished 155 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: thirteen for eighteen for one hundred nine yards and had 156 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: a passer rating above one hundred before his final throw 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: of the night was intercepted. I felt really comfortable. It was, 158 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, just watching Andy and Jeff go before me. 159 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: I just felt like, uh, you know, going there and 160 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: just you know, keep trying to move the ball down 161 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: the field. And I felt really good. As far as 162 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: assimilating the offense as it's come on a day to 163 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: day basis everything for you there, absolutely, that's that's part 164 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: of the fun for me and this offense is it's 165 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: a pretty it's pretty ingenious offense, and um, you know, 166 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: excited obviously it was very base tonight, but excited for um, 167 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, for Andy to have just all all those 168 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: stuff at his disposal, so that'd be fun. The Chiefs 169 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 1: scored the game's final touchdown with one fifty six to 170 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: go to win thirty eight to seventeen. Like most preseason openers, 171 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: it was ugly at times. Each team had eleven penalties, 172 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: The Bengals only managed to cleanly catch one out of 173 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: four punts, and the Bengals defense allowed four hundred yards 174 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: to eighty five passing and one fifteen rushing Dave Lapham 175 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: spoke to Zach Taylor in the locker room a few 176 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: minutes after his first ever game as a head coach. Defensively, 177 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, I thought, initially the guys were in position 178 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: to make some plays. We're just gonna step up and 179 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: make them. And then overall the physicality and the tacklings 180 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: got improved. A lot of guys were in position just 181 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: look like they're excited. And then and so that excitement 182 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: leted them wearing down a little bit as that game 183 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: got on, and guys got to step up and rack 184 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: up and make some tackles. And you know, we had 185 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: a minded sticks a few times and let him back 186 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: in it with some depis and so they'd score on 187 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: the next play. And then special teams, I thought that 188 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: the depth has got to step up. You know, I 189 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: thought the first units played well on special teams. We 190 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: got to be better on the partment returns. You know, 191 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: two tournaments there. That's gonna lose you a lot of games. 192 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: And so those guys got to be a little more disciplined. 193 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: Thinking back to when we met this morning, you said, 194 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: you know, I want and you get the ball out 195 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: of his hand. Quickly, and I want him take a 196 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: deep shot. I'll be a son of a gun man. 197 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: He's getting the ball out of his hand, moving it 198 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: and like you said, overcoming first and twenty you know, 199 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: with a holding penalty. And then he took the shot 200 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: and just that ball was a little bit under throne obviously, 201 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: but it was there for him. So I mean, the 202 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: thing unfolded just the way you said it would. Sometimes 203 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: those deep balls, the easiest ones are the hardest ones, 204 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: you know, because you think it's such a layup that 205 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: you don't quite you don't quite throw like you normally would. 206 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: And it was good. He got another opportunity there, just 207 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: just real quick after that, and it threw nice ball 208 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: over there to Audum tay and aud made the play. 209 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: So and he's poise is something that has always really 210 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: excited me. He's always a very calming influence on the 211 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: group and doesn't panic. And that show tonight. So what 212 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: what's your message to your team? You know after a 213 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: game like this, is it to you know, um, you know, 214 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: move on, or is it let's learn from mistakes or 215 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: is it a combination of all that? What do you do? 216 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: This is the NFL that that should have been a 217 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: game that came out of the wire and we'd have 218 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: a chance to win. But the turnovers and the penalties 219 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: are going to lose you games the NFL against really 220 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: good football teams like the Chiefs, and so fortunately for us, 221 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: this one doesn't count. We get to turn around in 222 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: five games and and uh, you know, correct those mistakes 223 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,359 Speaker 1: that we made and give our guys the second opportunity, 224 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: and so excited that we had to quick turnaround and 225 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: get a chance to go redeem ourselves. Finley went thirteen 226 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: sixteen hundred and nine yards and a touchdown pass um 227 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: what do you think his play? Just you know, I 228 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: know you haven't had a chance obviously to study it, 229 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: but just eyeball very poised, had confidence in him. You know, 230 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: he was a clear communicating in the huddle. His helmet 231 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: didn't work the very first series and so he had 232 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: to run back and forth kind of like he was 233 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: back in seventh Great, I would imagine, you know, and 234 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: it didn't affect him in any way. He was poised, 235 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: got back in the huddle and made good decisions, found 236 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: the backs when he needed to. We called a couple 237 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: of shots that weren't there, and he just checked it 238 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: down and so impressed with his first day running the football. 239 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: I think the longest run from scrimmage, if ever, calls 240 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: like five yards, and I know you gotta, you know, 241 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: you want, you want more than that out of your 242 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: running game. Obviously, that's that's a point of emphasis coming up. Yeah, 243 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, and we're not gonna ask them to do 244 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: too much up front and the run game in these 245 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: preseason games. But it's still the plays we gotta be called, 246 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: we gotta be targeted correctly and help those backs out 247 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. So it could have been better in 248 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: the run game, you know, And we looked improve that 249 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: next week against Washington. And now the weird stat of 250 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: the night, Kansas City is ten and oh all time 251 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: in preseason games against the Bengals. When the games count, 252 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: Cincinnati leads the series fifteen to fourteen. Now time for 253 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,479 Speaker 1: postgame analysis with LAB. Let's start with the obvious positive 254 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: LAB and that was the Bengals first drive of the 255 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor era. They marked seventy five yards and score 256 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Andy Dalton very sharp on the drive, although 257 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: he did just miss a long touchdown pass to Josh Malone. 258 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: There was a little bit underthrown, but he bounced right back, 259 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: led the Bengals into the end zone and had the 260 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: pleasure of going back to the sideline and basically saying 261 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: to Zach Taylor, hey, is that good enough for you? Right? 262 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: Good start? Fourteen plays, seventy five yards. You know you're right. 263 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes the toughest throw for the quarterback to make is 264 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: when the wide receivers wide open and you're just trying 265 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: to hit a layup, you know, and you missed the bunny, 266 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: you missed the chippy. So but he did come right back, 267 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: throws the ball out and Tape makes a great play 268 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: for him, gets him down to the one yard line, 269 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: and then they scored the touchdown, so that that definitely 270 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: was a positive. And it unfolded just like Zach Taylor 271 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: had said in the production meeting, and he wanted to 272 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: end to get the ball out of his hand quickly, 273 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to put him at risk for injury. And 274 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: then at some point earned the drive, take a shot, 275 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: and it all unfolded exactly that win ends up fourteen 276 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: play touchdown drive. I thought another positive was Ryan Finley 277 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: thirteen sixteen, you know, well over one hundred yards and 278 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: had a touchdown pass and I thought that, you know, 279 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: I think he's getting more and more familiar, you know, 280 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: with the offense. The Kansas Chiefs weren't doing anything real exotic. 281 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: You know, he got a chance to watch it in 282 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: the first half, and you know, he said they didn't 283 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: do anything differently when he got in the football game, 284 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: so he was he was kind of ready to perform. 285 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: I thought he performed pretty well. The biggest negative giveaways 286 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: the Bengals had four turnovers in the game, two interceptions, 287 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: including one on a hail mary, so you almost don't 288 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: count that. But they had two opportunities to get the 289 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: ball after stopping Kansas City, which is hard to do. 290 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: And when you forced the Chiefs to punt, you better 291 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: be able to field the punt. Absolutely put it on 292 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: the ground three times, lost two of them. And then 293 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, had the two interceptions, one of hail mary, 294 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: like you said, but they scored fourteen points off of those, 295 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, giveaways that the Bengals had. The Bengals got 296 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: no points off the one takeaway, but Hardy Nickerson had 297 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: he had the interception in the red zone. So turnovers 298 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: played a big part in the game. Um not only 299 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: turning it over but leading to points that you know, 300 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: fourteen of the twenty one points you lose by or 301 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: something that could have been avoided. So you know, you 302 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: look at that, you look at double digit penalties for 303 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: well over one hundred yards. I mean, you know, even 304 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: in the first drive they had to overcome a first 305 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: and twenty you know, and they did so, so you know, 306 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: those kind of things that self destructure will interrupt momentum 307 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: and you know, get you just out of your rhythm 308 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: of play calling and execution. So that that's that's all 309 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: going to get cleaned up. You know, the Bengals defense 310 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: had penalties, They missed a bunch of tackles. There's no 311 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: way that they didn't have double digit mis tackles. So 312 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: you know a lot of times they were in position 313 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: to make plays and they'd make the initial hit, but 314 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, instead of taking the ground to just be 315 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: dragging and getting dragged for you know, for extra yarded 316 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: So U that has to change and I think it will. 317 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: Last year, in the Bengals lost in the regular season 318 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: here at Kansas City, those miss tackles were a huge 319 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: problem in that game. They had eighteen according to Pro 320 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: Football Focus, the most that they have ever measured in 321 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: a regular season game. How much is that is? How 322 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: much of that is Kansas City's speed. I think it's 323 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: a factor, you know. I think that you know, you 324 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: get in practice and you're playing at as fast at 325 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: Temple as you can in practice. But then there's game speed, 326 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: and then there's warp speed because these guys run. You know, 327 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them that run sub four fours, 328 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean half a dozen guys. It is. It's like 329 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: an Olympic relay team instead of a batonic's of football 330 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: that they're playing with out there. And these guys can 331 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: flat scoot. So if you take a poor angle or 332 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: you know you're you're half a gap out of position, 333 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: they can make you look bad in a hurry and 334 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: they square those shoulder pads up and head to the 335 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: end zone. It's like wow, I mean that's some acceleration there. 336 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: So I think when you make mistakes against the Chiefs, 337 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: you know you don't get away with them. You know 338 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: they hit you right in the face, and the mistakes 339 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: compounded because of that speed, a little mistake becomes a massive, 340 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, big play mistake. Forty five years ago, a 341 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: young twenty two year old Dave Lappa made his NFL 342 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: preseason debut. I know how special that is for you 343 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: against the two time defending Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins 344 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: at the time. Well, a bunch of Bengals obviously made 345 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: their debuts tonight. Trevion Williams scored a touchdown in his 346 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: first game. Jordan Ellis scored a touchdown in his first game. 347 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: Stanley Morgan had several catches. I believe he finished with three. 348 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: That's a night they'll never forget, no question, it is 349 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: a night they'll never forget. And I guess the final 350 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: thing that we have to worry about is injury, you know. 351 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean Clayton Federlum felt a little bit of a pop, 352 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, and a little bit of a numbness, and 353 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, how bad is this ankle sprain? 354 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: And I don't think he'll make the dance on a 355 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: short week, you know against the Redskins, and Travon Williams 356 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: had you know, he's got to hit a bruise rib. 357 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: So there's some some bumps and bruises that guys are 358 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to lick their wounds to get over pretty 359 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: early because this is the short week that they've got 360 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: in training camp and every week after this is at 361 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: least a full week, and then obviously that fourth preseason 362 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: game and of the the ragulsas they have extra days with 363 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: that Thursday game. So get through this one, lick their wounds, 364 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: get ready to play, and go to Washington and unfolded 365 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: a little bit better. Up next the Thursday night game 366 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: in our nation's capital against the Redskins. Kickoff is at 367 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: seven thirty.

Naturally, 472 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: you're you're well compensated. You get nice bonus when you're 473 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: drafted that high. What do you splurge on? Is it 474 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: closed or something else?

That was it a surprise 480 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 1: or that they know it's coming. No, I let him 481 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: pick it.
