It's the greatest thing since 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:18.080 Paul Rasconi. Paul was my father in law, and he 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.000 passed away last Thursday at the age of eighty three. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.319 I've often said that I won the in law lottery 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.600 because Paul and my mother in law, Marge, are incredible people. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.040 Paul was the first member of his family to go 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.000 to college, and after graduating with honors, he served in 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.520 the army, where he rose to the rank of captain. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.679 After his military service, he had a highly successful career 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.120 in finance and traveled all over the world on business 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.560 while raising six kids. He was a smart, funny, open 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.520 minded and thoughtful man and a huge sports fan. Since 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.040 he grew up near Boston, Paul was a big Red 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.280 Sox and Patriots guy, but he also adopted my teams 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.520 and became New England's biggest Bengals and Bearcats fan. He 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.600 also introduced me to one of my all time favorite desserts, 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.720 grape nut pudding. He was a great man who lived 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.320 a remarkable life, and there has never been a more 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:21.080 supportive father in law. Now, let's get to football and 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.920 the radio replays from the bengals nail biting win over 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.880 the Seahawks. First and goal from the one, It's a 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.800 handoff to Kevin Walker and he goes into the end zone. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.040 Kenneth Walker, I beg your pardon. He goes into the 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.360 end zone, standing up for the Seattle touchdown. So after 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.200 a bye week, offensive coordinator Shane Waldron had a lot 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.200 of time to plot out the opening drive and it 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.760 was a beauty for Seattle. First and goal from the 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.200 eight of Seattle two twenty eight left in the first quarter. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.720 Shotgun snapped to Burrow. He wants to pass. His throat 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:59.840 caught Tyler Boyd lurches into the end zone, touchdown. Ben 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.880 goals as the Bengals go seventy five yards on fourteen 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.200 plays for an opening touchdown. On first in goal, Burrow 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.240 catches the shotgun snap, fakes a handoff to Mixon, bouncing 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.240 in the pocket, rolling to his left. Penalty flag down. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.639 He bears a strike caught in the end zone by 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.640 andre Yosi Vosh. There's a penalty flag at the four. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.799 It was thrown pretty early. It's holding on Seattle. That 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.120 touchdown is gonna stand. 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.760 This will be a fifty five yard field goal try, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.200 and if he misses it, the Bengals will start from 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.680 their own forty five. Jason Myers is the kicker, The 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.960 punter is the holder. The fifty five yard kick on 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.280 its way and it is good. Nine to twenty four 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.000 left in the third quarter. The Bengals have a fourteen 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:50.200 to ten lead. Gino Smith to throw fires downfield.

Second 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.960 down and nine Seahawks, Gino Smith back to throw. He 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.400 throws it up the scene and it's intercepting a diving 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.240 pick by Cam Taylor Britt. He's running back to the 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.719 forty the thirty five when he gets tackled at the 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.159 thirty four of Seattle. This will be a fifty two 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.360 yard attempt for Evan McPherson. He is sixteen for twenty 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:33.520 in his career from fifty plus remarkable eighty percent. Robbin's 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.719 ready to hold. The Bengals trying to push the lead 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.400 to four from fifty two yards away. The snap, the 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.920 placement to kick, it's on its way. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.200 He is good. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.479 Gino Smith with sharbone in the backfield. Fourth and goal 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.599 from the sixth Smith to throw pump face sud at 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.080 the fifteen yard line. Sam Hubbard brings down Gino Smith 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.640 and the Bengals takeover with two oh three to go. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.520 How about the eh boys on that particular drive. Trey 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.120 Henderson with a huge sack. Sam Hubbard with a huge 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:14.000 fourth down sack. That's two red zone drives the Seattle 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.240 Seahawks have scored. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.880 Squad Dooche. There are more than sixty five thousand seats 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.480 here at Bakhor Stadium right now, none of them are 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.360 being used. Fourth and seven from the eight, Gino Smith 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:30.360 back to throw finooking yeads. The ball squirts forward hel 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.720 the Bengals fall on it at the eight yard line. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.760 That is coffin nail Bam, bam bam. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.880 You have Sam Hubbard and Hill, Hubbard and Hill, two 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.839 more age boys. You get Henderson, Hill Hubbard, all the 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.719 age boys making plays pressure in the quarterback down the 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:52.560 stretch of the game. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.160 Bengals fans from coast to coast can breathe a sigh 0:05:56.240 --> 0:06:01.360 of relief. The Bengals are back to five and Joe 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:05.400 Burrow gets another week to rest his calf as Cincinnati 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.839 beat Seattle today by the final score of seventeen to thirteen. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:15.120 It wasn't a masterpiece, especially on offense. But this isn't 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.159 figure skating. There are no style points. Here's head coach 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:19.920 Zach Taylor. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.800 Texaned Steve Speck yesterday, the Saint X coach, you know, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.039 they had to win on the road, and I said, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.920 a great job. He said, it's better to win ugly 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:28.960 than lose pretty. And I mean that was the first 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.440 thing that hit me when I walked off the field 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.359 to day was at times it felt ugly, especially on offense. 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.680 But again, our defense stepped up and made some big 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:37.720 boys first out a lot. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.200 Of to out there. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.239 Here's a closer look at what the Bengals defense did 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.159 in the low red zone in the second half. On 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.640 the Seahawks first possession of the third quarter, they got 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.760 to the three yard line and didn't score. On their 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.279 next drive, they got to the four yard line and 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.039 settled for a field goal. Then, trailing by four, on 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.120 their final two possessions of the game, the Seahawks got 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.960 to the six yard line and didn't score, then got 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.200 to the nine yard line and didn't score. That's four 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.000 drives where Seattle got inside the ten and scored a 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:13.400 total of three points. One of the defensive heroes was 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.960 Cam Taylor Britt on his twenty fourth birthday. He had 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.680 an interception and three pass breakups, and I talked to 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.320 him after the game. We're in the locker room with 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.520 a guy they called juice. Cam Taylor Britt a huge 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.680 interception as the Bengals make one big defensive play after 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.600 the other, down to stretch to hold on and win. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.760 Tell me about what you guys did in the red 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.600 zone in this game, and we just. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.720 Had to hold up. We always realized, you know, yours 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.920 no equal points, and I had the opportunity to be 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.640 in the red zone, you know, four times. I believe 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.520 it ended up with just three points of four. So 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.880 you know, we just really harp on that. You know, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.320 we got a you know Stenson so os and you 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:51.240 know standyard ground with it. 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.520 And it wasn't just the red zone. It was the 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.920 low low red zone. They were like inside the five 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.800 or inside the ten four times and six drives in 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.120 the second half and got three points. That's amazing. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.000 That's how you hold up, man, it's mingo defense. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.880 Tell me about the interception, because not only did you 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.240 come up with a diving peck, but your run back 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:09.640 led to the field. 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:10.360 Yeah. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.280 Man, Uh, it's something that I got early on in 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.160 the game. I got the same route, and you know, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.120 once I just see the inside release, I felt the coming. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:19.120 He doesn't run too many routes, so you know, his 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.560 roupture is very limited. So once he went out inside, 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.720 I already knew what was coming, and I just literally 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.440 you could see on a film. I just ran underneath 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.080 it and yeah, the ball was coming. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:28.640 Yeah. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:30.880 Two weeks, two picks and what not. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.160 Yeah, we gotta keep it going. I feel good. 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.200 How about being three and three after an on and 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.600 two start and now going into the by with kind 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.199 of a fresh start and a five hundred record. 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.679 It's about zero zero I look at it. I think 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:44.560 that's how a lot of guys look at it, Like 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.000 you said, a fresh start. You know, we got to 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.360 come back after the by, you know, and just keep 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:49.800 our foot on. You know a lot of people's next 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.320 because it's not gonna be easy, as. 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:51.960 We can see today. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:53.959 And we got to forty nine's coming up, you know, 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:54.640 right after the bar. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.880 There were so many plays in the low red zone 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.920 where they got to Geno Smith as you're covering in 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.160 those situations, do you hear a roar and realize they 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:04.040 got to the quarterback? 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.040 Yeah, it's crazy. I was actually guarding d K on 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.440 one of them, think a back line route, and they 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.480 actually threw the balls to move. But the ball was 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.040 altered because I think Sam Ritrade got back there. But 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.960 I knew the ball got altered because I heard the crowd. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.559 Bad because I heard the crowd, So I look it 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.480 and the ball was coming out. Oh all right, So 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.200 you know it does give me a little tips in 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.439 there and there I hear ball calls all the time. Man, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:26.439 maybe snapped ahead or. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.319 A lot of guys were waving their arms to get 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.840 the crowd to make a lot of noise. Did that 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.120 make a difference in the red zone? 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:31.280 Man? 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.240 It was huge today. Man, I can honestly say I 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.520 couldn't hear a thing. I believe that's great. You know, 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.960 I was just going to line up, give me a 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.000 signal and I got to play. Communications was real hard 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:42.680 out there towards the end of the game. But you 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.720 know that's why, you know, that's where the standing man. 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:45.680 We live for those. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.480 Moments brat twying to win and enjoy the bye. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.480 Thank you, thank you, The. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:54.120 Bengals finished with four sacks and thirteen quarterback hits.

We had to play our best defense 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.800 tackling wise, fundamental wise, and get some turnovers and we 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:51.680 did that today. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.600 You guys played complimentary football when the when the offense 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.520 had to step up their first two possessions they did score. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.760 You you back the offense up when it needed you, 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.679 defense the offense back to defense up when you guys 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:05.280 needed them. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:06.640 It was a good sign. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.199 See complementary football like that today. Yeah, definitely. 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.000 We know there's gonna be a time where we're not 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.120 playing our best and the offense is gonna pick us up. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.080 And that's the beauty of being on a good team 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.240 with good players and good people that want to play 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.520 for each other. And it's fun being out there with 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:20.080 those guys. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.240 How big is it, Sam to get a win like 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.240 this and to go into the buy we like you 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.480 talked about now you're three and three. You climb back 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.440 out of the little bit of a hole. You three 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.760 and three getting into that buy. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:31.840 It's huge, man, That's what we need. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:33.640 That's what we talked about, and I'm happy we got 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:34.160 it done. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:35.120 A lot of. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.360 Football left, no question, a lot of football left you. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.400 You got a lot of football in you. Congratulations on 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.800 a big game, man, Thank you well. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.400 The defense was stellar. The offense was a bit of 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.320 a head scratcher. The Bengals opened the game with two 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.439 long touchdown drives, then really didn't do anything on their 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.320 final eight possessions, not including a one snap kneel down 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.840 at the end of the game. The Bengals had ten 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.439 first downs on their first two drives, and at one 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:06.000 point Joe Burrow completed fifteen straight passes. But if not 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.600 for Cam Taylor, BRIT's third quarter interception had a twenty 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.240 four yard runback that gave Cincinnati the ball in Seattle territory, 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.559 the Bengals didn't cross the fifty yard line the rest 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.960 of the day. Here's center Ted Carris with lap. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.240 Defense won the football game today. Let's let's give a 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.720 lot of shout out to them. The story going into 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.440 bye week should be our defense is elite, like they've 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:30.440 been for a long time. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.120 Won the game for us today. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.240 I thought we did some good stuff in the first half, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.319 didn't really get much. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.000 Going in the second. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.079 But you know, that's a good football team, that's a 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.080 playoff football team coming into town. Really really grateful to 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.880 even up our record going into a week off. Kudos 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.240 to the d I mean, as much as I'll say 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:52.160 that as much as I can. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.040 This week, that was unbelievable performance by them. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.800 I mean, there are backs against the wall on the 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.559 ten yard line three times in a row. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:12:59.200 To win the game. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.760 So three drives in a row really to win the game, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.760 So that's unbelievable. We want to be able to do 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.640 a little bit more for him. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:12.480 Situational run game poor on us. I thought we did 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:13.520 a good job protecting though. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.680 I thought we had a pretty solid day against a 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.120 really really good front. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.439 I mean that's a good group over there. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.960 That's a Pete Carroll defense with the Hall of Fame 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:22.720 Mike linebacker. 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.680 So you know, glad we did enough to win. Still, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:27.280 some things that work on. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.000 We're going to take a good look at ourselves this week, 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.440 get some rest, get ready to go to San fran 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.199 which is gonna be a big one. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.679 So the first two possessions go exceedingly well, and then 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.040 did they do anything different? Did they make any halftime 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.280 adjustments that were extraordinaries? Was it just not quite just 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.320 to tick off execution wise to the offense? 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.120 What was the deal they already think that. I'm sure 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:50.120 they made some adjustments. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.960 I mean that's also Hall of Fame coach over there. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.360 I think probably the main thing. I'll look at the film. 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.120 They probably went for more of a too high shell 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.080 to play in, you know, middlefield clubs blitzing a little 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:06.079 bit more. They butzed Bobby quite a bit. But overall 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.959 solid performance. I mean, left some things on there on offense, 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.559 and you know we're gonna continue to improve, But kudos 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:14.200 to the defense. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.880 Unbelievable performance. Really proud of these guys. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.880 Really, what a relief to get a win, even up 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.880 our record to five hundred going into a week off, 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:22.600 no question. 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.000 What does it mean to go into the buy at 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:24.640 five hundred. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.040 It means I can go to my dad's game a 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.000 little bit happier. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.800 Yeah, enjoyed the bye week. Thank you go Knights. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.400 Ted's dad as the head coach at Marion University, an 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:39.840 NAIA school in Indianapolis. The Knights are six and oh 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.760 this year. Cam Taylor Britt was not the only Bengal 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.960 to have a memorable birthday. Andre Yosi Vash also turned 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.320 twenty four on Sunday and scored the bengals second touchdown 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.840 on a three yard pass from Joe Burrow. After Andre 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.960 got off the phone with Peter King for Peter's Football 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.000 Morning in America column. In a few minutes with the 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.160 rookie from Princeton, andre Yosi Vash caught his first NFL 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.720 touchdown pass at least in the regular season. I remember 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.600 when you caught one in the preseason. He said, this 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.040 one doesn't count till it's regular season. How did that 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:13.680 feel today? 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.400 Yeah, it felt awesome. You know, at first, I didn't 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.920 know if it was going to stand or not because 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.280 they threw a flag, but you know, they they said 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.360 it was a touchdown, and I almost I mean I 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.800 started to tear a little tear up a little bit 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.640 once I once I started, after I was done dazzing 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.040 with teeth. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.160 But it was It was a great time. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:28.360 You know. 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:29.240 It was a scramble drill. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:30.800 You know, you're working that a lot, especially you know 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.440 Joe Burrow, he can extend plays a bunch, so he's 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.440 always gotta be ready. And he was actually nice enough 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.280 to get me the ball after, you know, because I 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.120 completely forgot about it. But you know, that's the kind 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:40.600 of guy. He is, super thoughtful, So I was just 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:41.640 really appreciative of set. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.960 Yeah, he made a mad dash into the end zone 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.560 to make sure that that ball was recovered. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.840 Yeah, yeah, he did. And then I honestly completely forgot 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.160 about it, and then he came up to me with 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.080 the ball, and so it just shows, you know, how 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:52.920 how thoughtful he is. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.560 So, as you mentioned, he extended the play from your perspective, 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.840 When do you realize, all right, he's buying time. I 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.760 got to do something to get over Yeah. 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.240 I mean, you look at him. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:04.840 You know my route took a little bit longer than 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.440 it would have taken in the first place, so I 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.600 already knew that there's a possibility of being a scrambled 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.440 I look at him and he's already out of the pocket. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.960 So I tried to just find a hole. And you know, 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.640 at that point you're just kind of you're just looking 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.960 to see where something's open, and you know, lucky enough, 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.320 you just put it right on me and I was 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:18.880 able to score. 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:20.800 He wasn't able to do that much in the first 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.840 four games because of his calf. We've seen a lot 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.520 of it now in the last two weeks. Yeah. How 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.640 important is that specifically in the red zone. 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.520 Yeah, it's super important because you know there's such a 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.200 short field to work with, especially when you're in the 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.800 red zone that you know sometimes plays need to be extended. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.280 You know, you need the extra factor for it to 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.160 work because you're so confined. So it brings a different 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:39.560 dimension to. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:40.240 The offense for sure. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.320 Let's talk about the defense for a moment. Four times 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.200 in the second half Seattle had it in the low 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.720 red zone and got one field goal. As you're watching that, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:49.200 how nerve racking? 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:49.440 Is it? 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:50.440 What's going through your mind? 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.160 Yeah, I mean it's I get nervous a little bit, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.200 But there's something about that defense that you know they're 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:57.600 going to pull something out, you know what I mean, 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.640 Like you always know they're all dogs in that defense, 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.680 all ready to make a play. And so yeah, I'm nervous, 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.520 but I'm also confident at the same time. So it's 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.600 like a weird feeling that I don't want to know 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:08.159 how to explain. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.359 Yeah, the crowd was into it. The place was rocking. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.080 It was pretty remarkable when the defense kept making stop 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:14.680 after stunt. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:15.760 I mean it was incredible. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.600 I mean, you know, they put us on their back, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.359 and it's just nice to see that we have the 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.879 defense to rely on, especially if you know the offense 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.960 is down or something else happens. And I love those 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.200 guys you're making all those plays. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.280 Congrats on the TD, Glad you got the ball. Congrats 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.280 on the win as well.
