<v Speaker 2>or computer by subscribing wherever you get your podcasts. It's

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the greatest thing since Joe Burrow's Christmas Gift. I don't

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.279
<v Speaker 2>know who started the tradition, but for many years NFL

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks have rewarded the anonymous men who try to protect

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 2>them from pass rushers by buying them expensive Christmas gifts.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>We're talking cars, Rolex's, shares of stock, just about anything

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you can imagine. Well, this year, Joe Burrow bought his

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 2>offensive lineman something that none of them imagined. Burrow gave

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 2>his offensive lineman authentic Japanese samurai swords. He put them

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>all in a room and had each lineman pick one

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>out based on a quick Internet search. Handmade samurai swords,

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>known as katanas, can run more than twenty five thousand

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 2>bucks apiece.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Here's Joe.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 3>They wanted guns, and I was like, I don't know

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 3>about guns, guys, And so I was in the weapon

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 3>mindset and.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.399
<v Speaker 1>I was Michael, what's cool?

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Weapon?

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>SAMAI swords I think are pretty dank cool.

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 3>And Nicole she works for me and she was able

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>to go and find them for me. So she did

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 3>a great job finding the best ones out there.

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So I think guys were excited about it.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Would I rather have a new car or a Rolex maybe,

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>but giving out authentic samurai swords is about as unique

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>as the quarterback himself. Now, time for the radio replays

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>from Sunday's win over Cleveland. It is a bitterly cold

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>December afternoon here in Cincinnati as we get set for

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred and third Battle of Ohio. It's the

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Bengals versus the Cleveland Browns in a game the Bengals

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 2>must win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>First and goal inside the one.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 2>They handed off to Deontay Foreman Shaka Hayward grabbed him

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>near the one, but couldn't bring them down shy of

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the goal line. It's a touchdown for the Cleveland Browns.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals say they have the ball, but an official

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>made the touchdown signal. Well, the Cleveland Browns just Cleveland Browned,

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>at least for twenty twenty four.

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>They had it.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>First down and goal inside the one. Deontay Foreman, at

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and thirty five pounds, had the ball in

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 2>his right hand as he was going toward the goal line.

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Von Bell, with a right hand cross punched it out,

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>then recovered it and although one official said it was

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown, when they looked at the replay, the ball

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>was clearly out and the Bengals takeover at their own

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>one yard line. Amazing first down and goal from the two.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>The ball is on the left. Hash Burrow in the

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>shotgun back at the eight, chase Brown to his left.

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yosi Bosch goes in motion, now goes back in the

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>original direction. Burrow steps up, throws and it's caught for

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the touchdown. Te Higgins with the catch. He tosses the

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>ball way up into the air like a geyser. Burrow

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>is being pulled down and just flung it forward for

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>the touchdown.

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Chase out wide to the right.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Yo Si Bosh in the slot to the right, Burrow

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 2>catches the shotgun snap drops back to the fifteen fires

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>caught in the middle of the end zone by Yo

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Sibosh for the Bengals touchdowns.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 5>Nice spike.

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Yoshi got some good verdic catalie off of that spike

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 4>and a high high percentage of this guy's catchers are

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 4>red zone touchdowns.

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Kye York is ready from the Bengals logo in the

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 2>middle of the field the snap the placement here comes

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>the fifty nine yard try. It is good whoo mate

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Cade York ties the Bengals franchise record with a fifty.

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 5>Nine yard field goal.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Has The half comes to an end when the Bengals

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 2>leading seventeen nothing, second in goal from the four. They

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>hand it off to Jerome Ford again and he will

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>waltz into the end zone for a Cleveland Browns touchdown.

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Third down and six from the Cincinnati eight. A big

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>play here with the Bengals up by eleven. Shotgun snap

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Thompson Robinson lobbs went into the end zone, intercepted by

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Battle.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 5>He'll take a knee in the end zone.

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Chino Stone putting pressure on the quarterback, leading to the

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.039
<v Speaker 2>end zone pick for Jordan Battle.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 4>And what a terrible throw, what a terrible decision. I mean,

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 4>now you got two red zone turnovers. You have a

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 4>fumble at the one yard line, and as he's delivering

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 4>the football, I mean he gets hit and just really,

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, just just throw it away. Don't try to

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.720
<v Speaker 4>throw it into the end zone to score. Bengals will

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 4>take it though two red zone takeaways, third.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:58.680

<v Speaker 2>where Geno Stone has come away with a pick Djivy

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>deflected it. The pass was intended for Najoku and Geno

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Stone has an it for the third game in a row,

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati seventeen, Cleveland six, and on fourth and twenty seven,

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>the Browns have to go for it. They snap at

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the Thompson Robinson begins scrambling right, throws incomplete at midfield,

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and that is coffin nails.

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 6>Bam bam bam.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Burrow in the gun. It's a long count for Joe

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>got it. Got the Browns to go off side. This

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 2>is a free play. Throws a deep ball for Chase

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>in the end zone. Jamar's dot it touchdown penalty. Bengals

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>aw that tullet offside.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Call it.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 6>The Flagger's thrown.

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Jamar Chase with his sixteenth touchdown catch.

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 5>Of the year. He is the NFL leader in that category.

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Defensive number ninety five. That penalty has declined.

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>The result of the play is a touchdown and Jamar

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>is now just one touchdown catch away from tying Carl

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Pickens single season Bengals record of seventeen touchdown grab man.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you you got Cameron Mitchell is just cooked,

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 4>and Joe Burrow says, I'm just going to get that

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 4>out there.

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 6>Let Jamar Chase.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Do his thing, and he got Miles Garrett.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>To jump Browning in the game.

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 2>He'll take the direct snap and take a knee to

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 2>run out the final twenty two seconds. Jake puts his

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>left knee on the field turf and the celebration begins.

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals have won three straight, they have pulled within

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>a game of five hundred, and most importantly, they have

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>set up a game next Saturday here at pay Corpse

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Stadium with gigantic stakes and huge playoff implications, as the

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Bengals will host the Denver Broncos, the team they are

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>chasing for the final playoff spot in the AFC. So

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>after being zero to three and four and eight, the

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Bengals are seven and eight with two games left and

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>still have a shot at making it to the playoffs.

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Here are Zach Taylor, Joe Burrow, and Jamar Chase.

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 7>This is what it's supposed to feel like for us,

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 7>you know, this is our expectation, and we just put

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 7>ourselves in a position to now play some really meaningful games.

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 7>And in this we didn't want to talk about what

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 7>was coming up. We wanted to get through. I know

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 7>how much I respect that that team we played today

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 7>and what they can do to you, and you had

0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 7>a play the right way, and I thought our guys did.

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 7>I thought they felt great about the prep all week,

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 7>felt great about guys being locked in and focused during

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 7>the game, found a way to get the win, and

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 7>now we can turn our focus to a short week

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 7>in the Denver Broncost.

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it feels good to playing big games. That's why

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 3>we do what we do.

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 6>That's why we work so hard.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, everything that I do in the off season

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 3>is to put myself in the best position to play

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 3>great at the end of the year in these big

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 3>games coming up. So that's it's exciting to be still

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 3>be in it. Guys work really hard, coaches work really hard,

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>so it's nice to rattle off a couple wins here.

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 8>I feel like we already the most dangerous team, you

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 8>know what I'm saying, And people fear us, you know

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 8>what I'm saying. But it's gonna come down to just

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.480
<v Speaker 8>making it, making that one play on offense and defense

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:47.960
<v Speaker 8>and just finishing at the end of the game. So

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 8>as long as who staying in it as a unit,

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 8>you know, we'll be.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 2>All right more on the updated playoff picture. In just

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 2>to bet, first, some offensive numbers, Joe Burrow through for

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.079
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty two yards with three touchdowns, no picks,

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and a passer rating of one thirty four point three,

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>his second best of the year. Burrow leads the NFL

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 2>in passing yards with one hundred thirty four more than

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Jared Goff. He leads in touchdown passes with thirty nine.

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 2>That's two more than Lamar Jackson, and Joe has now

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 2>thrown at least three touchdown passes in seven consecutive games

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>since the NFL AFL merger in nineteen seventy. The only

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks with streaks that long are Tom Brady with ten,

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning with eight, and Dan Marino

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 2>like Burrow, with seven. Jamar Chase had six catches for

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven yards in a touchdown and continues to lead

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 2>in the Triple Crown receiving categories. He has one hundred

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 2>eight catches to lead Amen Ross, Saint Brown and Brock

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Bauers by seven. A Bengals single season record of one

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>thy five hundred ten yards that's one hundred twenty three

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 2>more than Justin Jefferson and his sixty touchdown catches are

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 2>four more than the next best guy, Terry McLaurin. Then

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.079
<v Speaker 2>there's Chase Brown, who had one hundred and nine combined

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 2>rushing and receiving yards to top the century mark for

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 2>the fifth straight game. He spoke to Dave Lapham in

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the locker.

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Room, Chase Brown getting it done again. Eighteen carries, ninety

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 4>one yards. I think it was eighteen more receiving on

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 4>a few catch one hundred and ten yard scrimmage yards.

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you're automatic, man, I mean just check the

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 4>box on hundred scrimmag yards plus every game.

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'm just doing my job right now. Offenses executing

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 9>and that's all you can ask for is so focus

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 9>on the Broncos right now. It's really one game season

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 9>right now. So everything kind of rests on this short

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 9>week that we have coming up.

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of work, a lot of focus, a

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of.

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.439
<v Speaker 9>Getting our bodies back and you know, going out there

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 9>on Saturday and being the best team.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 4>The last time the Bengals swept the Cleveland Browns was

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 4>twenty seventeen. Nothing to take lightly to sweep the Cleveland

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 4>Browns in the Battle of Ohio.

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 5>Right, No, nothing like it.

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 9>I mean we're a great team, so we're just gonna

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 9>keep on going.

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 4>So what do you think, I mean, what was your

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 4>plan of attack? Unusual in a football game for both

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 4>teams to have a turnover inside the one yard line.

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you don't see that in the low low

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 4>red zone very often.

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 9>Do you really don't, You really don't. I Mean that's

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 9>defense right there. You know, when the offense had them

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 9>on their heels a little bit, they responded. So that's

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 9>all you can ask for.

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 4>So when you were running the football today, what was

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 4>the best thing that you had going for you? I

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 4>mean you were hit you always hit it between the

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 4>tackles so well, but you were doing some stuff in

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 4>the perimeter as well.

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean we were getting up to the second

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 9>level really quick and get some movement. So that's all

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 9>I can ask for the old line and you know,

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 9>I can do the restaurant there. So we had that

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 9>ruling for us and some explosive plays. So we'll watch

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 9>the tape get better and hopefully bring that.

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>In next week.

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Seven straight games, Joe Burrow has three touchdown passes. I mean,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.680
<v Speaker 4>you're talking about guys like Tom Brady who did it

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 4>in ten games. Peyton Manning, who did it in eight

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 4>straight games. I mean, he's in some high content right there.

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 4>I think he's one of five quarterbacks to ever do that.

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 9>He's a really good quarterback, so he deserves all that, man, I.

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 5>Mean, he should be up there with those guys.

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 9>And when you hear Joe Burrow and Tom Brady, it's

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 9>I'm not surprised.

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 4>So your defense to hold the Cleveland Browns to six points,

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 4>how big?

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Was that huge?

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 9>I mean, especially when they're getting though chances to get

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 9>back on the field like that. That's all we need,

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 9>especially with all explosive our offenses. We just need opportunities

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 9>and drives. Until we get those drives started, we're a

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 9>hard team to beat.

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 4>Great effort once again today. Appreciate your what you did

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 4>out in the football field. Appreciate you allowing us to

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 4>catch up with you.

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Brown now has nine hundred twenty three rushing yards with

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 2>two games to go. Defensively, the Bengals held the Browns

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 2>to six points and two hundred and seventy three yards,

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the fewest points the Bengals have allowed and the second

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 2>fewest yards. They had five sacks, ten quarterback hits, forced

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 2>two fumbles and came away with two interceptions, including Geno

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Stones fourth.

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Of the year.

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I caught up with him after the game. Gino, that's

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>three straight games with an interception. Got an assist on

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>this one from dj Ivy described the play.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 6>No, it was kind of just cover one.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 10>Me playing a post and scrambled with guy you know,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 10>dtar stars scramble around, joking, went upfield and DJ Meta

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 10>great playing, took the ball and I got it.

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Described the job you guys did against Dorian Thompson Robinson

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>basically taking away anything downfield.

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 6>Now, I thought we did a great job.

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 10>Russian covers working together, he said ear in the weekday

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 10>even try to use his legs. I felt like the

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 10>front did a really good job of containing him most

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 10>as they can, and us in the back end is

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 10>you know, plastard and you know, had great covers in

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 10>the back in much we can and beside the first play,

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 10>that first play the game I played, we did a

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 10>pretty good job.

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Though. How big was von els play to snuff their

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 2>opening drive?

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 10>Now, it's huge, it's huge, you know, I feel like

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 10>we got altimate mentum back after that they kind of

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 10>had met him going at first, and then we kind

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 10>of took away from there.

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 6>Everybody played by one.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Three straight games with a pick. Second time in your

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>career you've done that. How do you feel about your

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>comfort level in this defense right now?

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 10>No, I feel comfortable as all. Honestly, I feel great.

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 10>You know, I'm happy we're winning, so it's always a

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 10>great thing.

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 2>You've set up a game with huge stakes next week

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 2>against Denver.

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, no, you know, if you can handle it next week.

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 10>You know they got a really good team coming in,

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 10>so you know, he's gotta have short weeks, so he's

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 10>got Our body's ready to get ready to go next week.

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>You had the pick.

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh, there was another pick by Jordan Battle in the

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 2>end zone. Six takeaways last week. This defense is making

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>the type of plays that swing games.

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I feel like we're doing at the right time.

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 10>You know, it's great to play a meaningful game next

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 10>week in December, something we've been asking for. So you know,

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 10>at the end of the day, we got we gotta

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 10>do our job and then let the rest hand.

0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 6>It was open and.

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's not forget about special teams. Ryan Rico averaged more

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 2>than fifty one yards of punt and cade York joined

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Money Mack in the Bengals record book. Here's my conversation

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 2>with the Bengals kicker the title franchise record Kate a

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty nine yard field goal just before the half. Did

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>you know that Evin McPherson's record was fifty nine.

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 11>No, I had no clue, and I'm almost kind of

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 11>happy I didn't take that from him. That would stake

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 11>for just being there for a few weeks.

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So the circumstances were interesting.

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Had the Browns called a time out with about forty

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 2>eight seconds to go, I think the Bengals probably would

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>have punted, but they let it run down, right.

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I would assume so. And it was cold out

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 11>so and none of us hit from that deep. I

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 11>think the first I hit that way was fifty seven

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 11>warming up, and it barely went in because it was

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 11>just cold and the ball wasn't flying too well. So

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.280
<v Speaker 11>I just think they assume no one was gonna kick it,

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 11>but with only five seconds left, might as well take

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 11>a shot out of it.

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>My analyst Dave Lapham said, a fifty nine yard or

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 2>under these conditions, it's like a sixty five yarder because

0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the ball just doesn't carry like it would on a

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>nice norm day.

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 11>No, definitely, not especially like one Like k balls are

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 11>brand new that day, so all you get is to

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 11>scrape them and rub them down for forty five minutes.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>For the game.

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 11>So yeah, it's a lot of things combined into making it.

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 11>That's why you see some guys can hit eighty yarders

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 11>at practice because they're kicking a ball that's two years

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 11>old and not brand new. So there's a lot of things.

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:28.719
<v Speaker 1>I went to it.

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 11>I did hit it really really well. Once I hated,

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 11>I turned back and like celebrated it, and I was.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, wait a second.

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 6>The ball is like halfway there, and.

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 11>I'm like, oh, it's I forgot how cold it was.

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 11>That ball doesn't look like it's flying as far.

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:41.959
<v Speaker 1>As it should.

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.200
<v Speaker 11>But luckily I don't know how much it had, but

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 11>at least a yard or two.

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So it worked out.

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Nobody wants the video of the premature celebration on a

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 2>field and then.

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 11>Like, oh, it's just like donks right back at you. Yeah, no,

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:54.479
<v Speaker 11>it worked out.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Though we're visiting with Kid York.

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Any extra feeling from doing it against your former.

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 11>Team, The only extra feeling I wouldn't say coming into

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 11>the game, there was that much, but they were yelling

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 11>at me a lot very field goal, so I definitely

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 11>like that felt nice. I think it was my mood.

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.439
<v Speaker 11>Diabaate was telling me I didn't have the leg for

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 11>it right before, like yelling.

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:14.119
<v Speaker 10>It at me.

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>So did you yell back?

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I just hope you hear this though we cannot email

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it to him.

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.439
<v Speaker 2>How has this stint been for you, this opportunity with

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals to show what you can do to the

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 2>entire NFL.

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 11>It's been great. I love my time here. The guys

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 11>are great. I love to spend time with Evan, I

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 11>Leve's spend sound Ryan and cow and Darren obviously has

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 11>such a great history of just being here for so

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 11>long and there's a reason for that. And I love

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 11>guys that know what they're talking about, and he definitely

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 11>knows what he's talking about. So I'm just trying to

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 11>soak up as much knowledge as possible and just put

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 11>a few balls to the upreights.

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Your name's in the Bengals record book. Congrats.

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 6>I love that.

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>That's Kate York.

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 2>So the Bengals did what they needed to do, but

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.919
<v Speaker 2>they did not get any help in the playoff chase

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>as Indianapolis beat Tennessee and Miami beat San Francisco. So

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 2>here's what needs to happen for the Bengals to make

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:09.159
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. They need to win their last two games

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 2>against Denver and Pittsburgh.

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>They need the.

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Broncos to lose their last two games at Cincinnati and

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 2>at home against Kansas City. Plus Miami has to lose

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>at least once with road games at Cleveland and at

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the Jets. Here's hoping for frigid weather in the Northeast,

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and the Colts also have to lose at least one

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:35.479
<v Speaker 2>either at the Giants or at home against Jacksonville. Now

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:37.760
<v Speaker 2>let's hear what Zach Taylor had to say as he

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 2>spent a few minutes with Lap after the game.

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 4>So here we are with Bengals head coach Zach Taylor.

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 4>Heck of a football game today. I mean all phases.

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 4>What about your defense holding them to six points?

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 7>I was standing, you know, our defense, Roy gave us

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 7>a chance to play the game. We wanted to play

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 7>on offense where they didn't have many advantages to be

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 7>able to pin their ears back outside of a couple.

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 5>Of drives, and so just just roy out of the way.

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 5>Those guys created turnovers.

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 7>Got red zone stops, and give us a chance to

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:05.159
<v Speaker 7>play it the way you wanted to play it.

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't think I can remember a game where both

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 4>teams had a red zone turnover inside the one yard line.

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean both both teams had that happen to them.

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's a that's a crazy thing. I guess

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 4>if you, like we always talk about, you watch enough football,

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 4>you're going to see everything.

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess.

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 7>I guess, so you know, and it's, uh, that's fifty

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 7>percent happy with those outcomes. But obviously we're gonna do

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 7>a great job protecting the ball when we're down there.

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 7>I thought Von died an excellent job coming out the

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.960
<v Speaker 7>punching it out and recovering it for us. That was

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 7>a huge moe minium change early in the game and

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 7>a lot of us to gain control from the onset.

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 4>And did you ever you go ninety nine yards and

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 4>put a touchdown on the board. I mean, you talk

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 4>about compmentary football. The defense, you know, backs against the wall,

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 4>you can't get much further against the wall, and they

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.439
<v Speaker 4>make a play and then you guys reward them with.

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 6>A ninety nine yard touchdown drive.

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:52.400
<v Speaker 2>That's huge.

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 7>It's complimentary football. You know, you just took it to

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 7>breath after the first play of the game. Defense bowed up,

0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:59.959
<v Speaker 7>got us the ball back, and then offense goes now.

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 5>And so that what a great way to start, put.

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.639
<v Speaker 7>Them in a hole and kind of take some of

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 7>the life out of them and able to build a

0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:07.920
<v Speaker 7>seventeen nothing lead in the first half.

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, you made mention of they had the one

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 4>sixty six yard run, but the rest they had nineteen

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.119
<v Speaker 4>plays in the first half eighty six net yards. They

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 4>had the sixty six yard run, then the other eighteen

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 4>plays they accumulate twenty yards. He had four tackles for

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 4>loss four on the last four possessions, two sacks to

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 4>two tackles for loss, I mean twenty yards on eighteen snaps.

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean they were I think three maybe four at

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 4>least three consecutives three and outs and putting the football

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 4>back to you.

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:41.640
<v Speaker 7>So outs standing, they had control of the game, put

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 7>pressure on the quarterback, a young quarterback, so he could

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 7>never feel comfortable, and then they could establish the run.

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 7>So I think, you know, as of those the plays

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.919
<v Speaker 7>you mentioned, so really proud of the effort, the communication,

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 7>the job that they did on defense.

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:58.160
<v Speaker 4>So Joe Burrow three touchdown passes in his seventh straight game.

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 4>You know, he's in company who got like Tom Brady,

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Peyton Manning. I mean it's a Hall of fame. Tom

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 4>Brady did in ten straight games. I think Peyton Manning

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 4>did it in eight. And in Joe's right there. He's

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 4>on the list. I think he's one of five. Not

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 4>only does he play really well, it's every week. I mean,

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 4>his consistency is crazy, isn't it it is?

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 5>You know he's Yeah, every week he showed up.

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.719
<v Speaker 7>He's been consistent and that's that's every game I think

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 7>he's ever been here. So really proud of him, really

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 7>proud of the guys around him. And he's made some

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:32.879
<v Speaker 7>spectacular plays that you can't really describe.

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 4>Rico average fifty one yards of punt and he had

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 4>that one that flipped the field for you at a

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 4>very opportune time. So you mentioned conpanary football, offense, defense

0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:44.640
<v Speaker 4>and special teams did a job for you tonight.

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 7>Didn't thought the coverage units were great, you know, the

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 7>gunners getting down there and making them uncomfortable and reco

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:51.479
<v Speaker 7>doing an excellent job of flipping the field for us

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 7>in some key moments.

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 4>Jumee Schwartz gets a lot of talk about what he

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 4>does as a defensive quarter. You've got one as well

0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 4>in LEU inner room. And I thought on first and

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 4>second down he was he was bringing all kinds of stuff.

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 4>And I mean it was third and thirteen, third and eleven,

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 4>third and sixteen, and then on third down, you know,

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.159
<v Speaker 4>he plays some coverage and say, all right, you know,

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 4>go ahead, try to try to We're not gonna let

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.159
<v Speaker 4>you convert. We're gonna keep everything in front of us.

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 4>I thought his game plan was outstanding. I thought his

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:17.119
<v Speaker 4>players really executed it.

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, great plan, guys believed in It really fun to watch,

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 7>you know, especially when you get some stops like they did,

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 7>then your confidence sky rockets and you're able to take

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 7>it to another level.

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 5>I thought I saw that today.

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.200
<v Speaker 4>So Jamar Chase continues to rewrite the record book. I mean,

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 4>he has almost one hundred yards receiving, he has another

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.640
<v Speaker 4>touchdown catch. He's got sixteen to those, one away from

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 4>the club record that I thought nobody had ever touched. Honestly,

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Carl Pickens with was seventeen of them. But Chase Brown

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 4>as well, continues to I mean, he gives you another

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.199
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and ten scrimmage yards, and it seems like

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 4>every week you can put him in the book for

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 4>over one hundred scrimmag yards.

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:52.880
<v Speaker 7>No, and he's so close to breaking a big one,

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 7>you know, And that's just that's part of his game

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:57.640
<v Speaker 7>right now. And so he's he'e somebody we can lean

0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:00.160
<v Speaker 7>on and get the ball to a lot of different ways.

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 7>He's explosive and again he's due for a really big

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 7>one as well.

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 4>So coach, finally, I know you haven't studied the Denver Broncos,

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 4>but what's your what'd you tell the team about here

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:13.879
<v Speaker 4>comes Denver?

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 1>As it too early to even go there.

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean, now we know how important this game is.

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 7>We gave ourselves a chance to play for something that's meaningful,

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 7>you know, and we know what goes into this game.

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 7>We got to win to stay alive and take this

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 7>thing into the last week of the season with a chance.

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.919
<v Speaker 7>And so you get a chance just to focus on

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 7>this team. We don't care about what happens in any

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.159
<v Speaker 7>of other games. We care about what happens in the

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 7>Denver game. We got six days to get it right.

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 7>It'll be a little funky schedule with Christmas, but our

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 7>guys are committed to getting this done the right way.

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.520

<v Speaker 2>Up next a four to thirty home game next Saturday

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:49.240
<v Speaker 2>against the nine and six Denver Broncos. If the Bengals win,

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.520

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Now time for the radio guys recap, well lapped. The

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 2>next to last game of the regular season just got

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot bigger. They're going to be major playoff implications

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 2>next week thanks to a they had to have it

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 2>victory today over the Cleveland Browns.

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's no question. I mean, you gotta win them

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:35.199
<v Speaker 4>one at a time. When they put themselves in the

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.719
<v Speaker 4>positions they put themselves in, you know, you just are

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 4>so frustrated when you think back to the way the

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.439
<v Speaker 4>opener went with the with the Norton Patriots, and to

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 4>go one and four and being close games that they've

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 4>been in, I mean, and the whole thing. It's like,

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:52.879
<v Speaker 4>you reflect back, it's a play here and play here there.

0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:55.760
<v Speaker 4>But I mean, defensively, I thought it was the best

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 4>game of the year by far. Two hundred and seventy

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 4>three yards offensively, holding to four point three yards per play,

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Cleveland held the Bengals offense to four point two yards

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 4>per play up in Cleveland Bengals reverse, it held them

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 4>to four point three yards per snap. I mean, that's

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 4>that's pretty pretty good. And they obviously suffocated the passing attack.

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it was it was it was tough duty

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 4>out there. Won the turnover battle handily, as they only

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 4>had one turnover in eight quarters against Cleveland, and they

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 4>won that part of it. And that's Cleveland's biggest problem.

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 4>They come into the game minus sixteen third down. You know,

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 4>they came in at twenty eight percent, the Bengals holding

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 4>the twenty five percent, So you add fourth down into

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:41.360
<v Speaker 4>it where they go one for three. They were four

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 4>fifteen on third and fourth down. That's that's pretty good.

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 4>And the reason is early on they got them in

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 4>third and eleven, third and fourteen, third and sixteen, third

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 4>and sixteen again, I mean lou Anon Rumo's game plan

0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 4>on first and second down, pressure packages, get them off schedule,

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 4>tackle for lost sack or whatever, and then third down

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 4>play more coverage, you know, rush rush four, drop seven

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.120
<v Speaker 4>into coverage, rush three, drop eight into coverage. I thought

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:09.680
<v Speaker 4>it was, you know, a really really sound game plan

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:13.760
<v Speaker 4>against an inexperienced quarterback, and the players executed it really well.

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's go back to the big play that Von Bell

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 2>made on the opening drive. Vaughn has lost his starting

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:22.679
<v Speaker 2>job to Jordan Battle. He's a proud VET who's had

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:25.879
<v Speaker 2>a great career, a huge reason why the Bengals went

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to the Super Bowl in twenty twenty one. He makes

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:31.400
<v Speaker 2>that play, he's out there on special teams. I've got

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of admiration for what he's doing right now.

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I think the respect that his teammates

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 4>have for him has increased. And that's a huge play

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 4>that he made. And how about the offense. Okay, we'll

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 4>play companenty football. Let's go ninety nine for a touchdown.

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 4>You don't see that happened very often. And then later

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:52.320
<v Speaker 4>in the game, the Bengals offense turns it over inside

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 4>the one yard line. I can't remember the last time

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 4>at any level of football I saw both offenses turn

0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 4>it over in the lowest of low red zones. I mean,

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 4>there were a lot of crazy things that happened in

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 4>this football game, and that was one of my von

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:11.479
<v Speaker 4>Bell made a huge play to get things, you know,

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.919
<v Speaker 4>turned around again because I mean Ford bust Dets sixty

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 4>six yard run. Thought, oh boy, you know they get

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.359
<v Speaker 4>on the board first. You know, could give him a

0:28:19.440 --> 0:28:21.360
<v Speaker 4>real boost in the arm and all that sort of thing.

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 4>But that was massive. To have the takeaway and then

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 4>go the length of the football field virtually, you can't

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 4>go any longer than they went. To take a seven

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 4>to nothing lead and score first, I thought was big.

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 2>And that first touchdown comes on a face plant touchdown

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 2>pass from Burrow to Higgins. We've reached the point now

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:43.400
<v Speaker 2>where Joe is actually entertaining himself. I mean the jump

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>pass touchdown against the Steelers. Now this one, he's falling

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 2>flat in his face and he somehow manages to fling

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 2>it into the end zone to t Higgins. Patrick Mahomes

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.239
<v Speaker 2>has you know, earned a lot of plaudits for some

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of the crazy things he's done. In addition to the

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 2>great normal play Joe has made this year. Now he's

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 2>adding these crazy ones.

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 4>And you know he is any kind of quarterback guru

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 4>that is coaching young quarterbacks. Talk about platform you know,

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:13.960
<v Speaker 4>the right foot and has to have a foundation with

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 4>that right foot, transfer your weight to your left foot,

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, throw, take the stride, throw the football. You know,

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 4>it has to be proper mechanics. I mean Joe is platformless,

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 4>you know. I mean he can throw off his front foot,

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 4>throw off his back foot, throw off no feet. You know,

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 4>he leaves his feet, jump passes, or leaves his feet

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 4>because he tripped on a teammate and is going to

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 4>the ground. But the thing about him is like he

0:29:35.720 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 4>saw saw an opportunity before he actually tripped on Ted's

0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 4>foot and then kept his head up you know enough

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 4>where he delivered an accurate football. So I think that's

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:52.200
<v Speaker 4>the biggest thing with him is his overall awareness of

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 4>the game. I mean, every single thing about the game

0:29:56.200 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 4>of football. Joe Burrow has basically achieved at.

0:30:02.280 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 6>A high level.

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 4>He understands what he has to do, his protocols to

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 4>get there. He just understands every single nuance, every single

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 4>thing that you need to understand to be an unbelievable quarterback.

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 6>He has it all.

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>You've had a great comment during the broadcast. I thought

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 2>about how good he's become when he's running straight ahead,

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 2>often at high speed, and delivering throws in perfect locations

0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 2>under those circumstances. I'm going to used to seeing guys

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:33.760
<v Speaker 2>go left and right making throws on the run, but

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 2>he's now mastered that. Sprinting forward and delivering bebies and accurately.

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's the thing. A lot of guys they'll

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 4>go on the ground, or they'll sail or whatever. I mean,

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, he has that part of the down. He

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:50.360
<v Speaker 4>is so he has such great body control. He is

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 4>and knows exactly where every body part is. And it's

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 4>how it relates to what he wants to get done.

0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:01.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he is. It's unbelievable how he releases the

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 4>football from the same place, you know, different platforms, different uh.

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he just creates ways to get rid of

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 4>the football, but he always gets rid of the football

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 4>at a perfect spot. I mean his release is the same,

0:31:17.360 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 4>he'll change the same. He'll he'll released out of his

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 4>hand the same way. That doesn't change, but he'll he'll

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 4>change the launch point. I mean he'll change the release

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 4>angle arm angle kind of thing. And of course you

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.200
<v Speaker 4>know he changes the launch point all the time. Climb

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:35.080
<v Speaker 4>the pocket, out of pocket, climb the pocket and reverse

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.520
<v Speaker 4>go back backward in the pocket, I mean, side to

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 4>side in the pocket. He is he's one of one.

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, honestly, to have a guy with his movement skills.

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:48.640
<v Speaker 4>And again, when he's moving, you know, like DTR is

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 4>moving and he will he'll looking down the field trying

0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 4>to make a play. But Joe, I mean DTR is

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 4>looking where can I run next? Joe is always down

0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 4>the football field. He is always seeing how things are

0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 4>run full, how how his teammates are improvising. And it

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 4>is like we said before, you know, his vision is

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 4>three sixty. You know, it's his his peripheral is like it,

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 4>like he has eyes on the side in the back

0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 4>of his head.

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy.

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that'd be interesting to know if that's been measured,

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 2>if he has freakishly good peripheral vision. I mean, if

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>whatever degrees. The normal human being can see way off

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to their left and way off to the right. I

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 2>wonder if he sees more degrees than the rest.

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 6>Of us, and he has.

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean a lot of quarterbacks, the great ones, have

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 4>a clock in their head and you know they'll count

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 4>the second. Joe Burrow has a clock that goes to

0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 4>the hundredth second. It's not just he's just not counting

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.640
<v Speaker 4>down seconds. I mean it's like, how the hell did

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 4>you know to do that exactly? Then you know, it's like, jeez,

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 4>he's uh. He continues to amaze. I mean, every single

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 4>week he's going to do something. It's like, what, man,

0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 4>I never saw that before. I can't believe he did that.

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean he is must see viewing or listening on

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 4>a weekly basis.

0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.680
<v Speaker 2>So they've won three straight. The defense has played pretty

0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 2>well in those games, but the starting quarterbacks in those

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 2>games have been Cooper Rush and whoever started for the

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Titans last week. I'm drawing a break well Levis and

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Dorian Thompson Robinson today. So how much is it The

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Bengals defense is improving and the young guys are taking

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 2>positive steps forward, and how much is it all?

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 2>They've managed to cobble together three good games against quarterbacks

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that weren't great.

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:37.959
<v Speaker 4>I think we'll find out next week. I mean, Bo

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Nix is a young guy in the NFL, but he's

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 4>got sixty one college starts. I mean he's not immature.

0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:48.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's an older guy. He's a mature guy.

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 4>I think his teammates probably feel like, shoot, he's already

0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 4>a five year vet, you know, when they're thinking about

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 4>this guy. I think his coaches think the same way.

0:33:57.520 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't think there's anything that they can't

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:02.959
<v Speaker 4>We can't go there with him. He can't handle that.

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 4>He can't handle that mentally or physically. He's a very

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 4>a very accomplished guy. But you know, I don't think

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 4>that he can do the things for his football team

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 4>that Joe Burrow can do for the Cincinnati Bengals quite yet.

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:17.919
<v Speaker 4>But it is going to be interesting because I think

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:21.520
<v Speaker 4>based on today, with a young quarterback, you think that

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 4>lou Anrumo may still do some of the pressure packages

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:28.480
<v Speaker 4>and you know, the fake pressure packages and all that

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 4>that he was doing to get in DTR's head. Can

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:34.439
<v Speaker 4>he do it with Bo Nicks And what will vance

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Joseph do and there's a guy with his doctorate in

0:34:36.960 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 4>all that stuff, and how much of that will he

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 4>do with Joe Burrow or will he feel man, you know,

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 4>if it doesn't get there, I'm totally exposed. He's going

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 4>to have too many explosives. You know, I'm going to

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 4>have to kind of, you know, modify it a little bit,

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 4>or not quite do as much of it, or you know,

0:34:54.280 --> 0:34:56.600
<v Speaker 4>whatever the case may be. It's going to be interesting

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.479
<v Speaker 4>to see how these guys game plan and how during

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 4>the course of the the game, you know, the circumstances

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 4>taking place in unfolding during the course of the game

0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:07.719
<v Speaker 4>changed their approach and thought to what they're doing.

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Sounded like you're optimistic that Orlando Brown Junior will be back.

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 4>I'd be shocked if he isn't, particularly now with Mims

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:18.760
<v Speaker 4>hurting a little bit. I think, you know, knowing Orlando

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:21.719
<v Speaker 4>Brown and how much playing means to him, I think

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:25.160
<v Speaker 4>if if he can do it at all, he's gonna

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:28.919
<v Speaker 4>go out there and do it. Because against this team,

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:31.839
<v Speaker 4>number one in the league in sacks, I believe, number

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 4>one in the league in defense, uh you know, number

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:37.399
<v Speaker 4>number one or number two points allowed. I mean this

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 4>this defensive football team is top five and top three

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:44.800
<v Speaker 4>in a bunch of significant categories. So to have both

0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 4>of your your big stud offensive tackles down. And what

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 4>about the offensive tackle position. I mean, during the course

0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:55.920
<v Speaker 4>of the year, you lose Brown, you know, first Brown,

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:58.880
<v Speaker 4>then now Orlando is struggling, and now you know Mims

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 4>is struggling physically, man the offensive tackle position for the

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:06.839
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati Bengals this season has been the injury Guds just said,

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:09.880
<v Speaker 4>did al shalt have issues at offensive tackle?

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 2>That puts a rap on the Cleveland when Now it's

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 2>time for this week's fun fact segment where you get

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:21.279
<v Speaker 2>to know the person under the pads. Time for some

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 2>fun facts with offensive lineman Devin Cochrane. You are from

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:28.359
<v Speaker 2>the Atlanta area. Tell me more specifically about where you

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.160
<v Speaker 2>grew up and what you like about your hometown.

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:34.480
<v Speaker 12>For sure, moved all around. Initially in Southwest Atlanta. We

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 12>end up moving to Northeast Atlanta, where I kind of

0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 12>went from elementary school up to middle school. I was

0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 12>in private school, so it wasn't really a district deal.

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:45.040
<v Speaker 12>And then we ended up moving to Lilburn by Stone Mountain, Georgia.

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Your mom is a college professor. Correct, Yes, where does

0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:50.439
<v Speaker 2>she teach and what does she teach?

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 12>Right now? She's been doing a lot of online classes,

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:55.360
<v Speaker 12>but she's taught at many places Spellman, She's taught at

0:36:55.360 --> 0:36:58.600
<v Speaker 12>Georgia State Perimeter, and she's a sociology teacher.

0:36:58.600 --> 0:37:01.080
<v Speaker 6>She has our PhD in sociology.

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Did you have strict rules about grades before being able

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:07.919
<v Speaker 2>to play sports and things like that as a kid, Not.

0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 12>Really before playing sports, but if my grades ever slipped,

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:12.640
<v Speaker 12>I was definitely hearing about it, and my mom was very,

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:16.240
<v Speaker 12>very present in the PTA or PTO, whatever it is,

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:17.759
<v Speaker 12>going to school and making sure that was getting my

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:18.440
<v Speaker 12>work done.

0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Visiting with Devin Cochran, were you involved in any activities

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:22.760
<v Speaker 2>outside of sports?

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely? Yeah.

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:26.279
<v Speaker 12>Before I really got into sports, I played piano for

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 12>nine years. I played upright bass for four or five years,

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:38.160
<v Speaker 12>guitar for a few years, chess, club basketball, besides football

0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 12>and track and field, a little throwing.

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:43.320
<v Speaker 2>So if you see a piano in a hotel lobby,

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.120
<v Speaker 2>can you sit down and bang something out?

0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 12>I really can, but it won't be good. I'd have

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 12>to practice, And to be honest with you, you know, with

0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:52.080
<v Speaker 12>the whole football thing and the hands, you know, I

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 12>mean an o linement. It's really actually restricted me from

0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 12>being able to play all the instruments I like to play.

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:00.920
<v Speaker 2>That's unfortunate. One of the unfortunate whist of the trade.

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:03.680
<v Speaker 6>You have to make a choice. I chose. I remember

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 6>my high school.

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.480
<v Speaker 12>Football coach told me in ninth or tenth grade, because

0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 12>we had an orchestra field trip. He told me, you

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:12.359
<v Speaker 12>have to make a choice. And because it was either

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:14.279
<v Speaker 12>orchestra field trip or I think a scrimmage, and I

0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 12>chose football, and that was it.

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 2>We're chatting with Devin cochrane. You're a big band six

0:38:19.680 --> 0:38:23.360
<v Speaker 2>seven three thirty a wing span of more than seven feet.

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Did you always tower over the other kids?

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, mostly?

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 12>I think maybe in third grade there was a kid

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:34.239
<v Speaker 12>who was taller than me then, but the last time

0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 12>I saw him, I was I was much taller than

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:37.080
<v Speaker 12>him and everybody else.

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So you caught up and passed them.

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 2>When it came time to choose a college, you picked

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Vanderbilt over some traditional football powers. Why Vandy?

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:49.600
<v Speaker 12>I had a really good relationship with Derek Mason, And

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 12>then also we took a trip to Nashville.

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:53.640
<v Speaker 6>It was about four We went up in a snowstorm.

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 12>Actually it was about four and a half hours away

0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:57.560
<v Speaker 12>from Atlanta, and I was content with everything.

0:38:57.600 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 6>I loved the school.

0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 12>Some of the guys there took me into the Jared Southers,

0:39:01.040 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 12>Bailey Grind, a bunch of guys just I think the

0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:06.080
<v Speaker 12>culture was what really brought me to it the most.

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 12>And then some guys like the recruiting process. Others don't

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 12>the attention, and I think it was more so trying

0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:16.520
<v Speaker 12>to learn about every single school because I'm very thorough.

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 12>So you know, if I wasn't able to do that

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 12>with every school, then there's really no point in doing it.

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So you did not enjoy the process.

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:26.719
<v Speaker 12>Recruiting, No, not as much so.

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:29.360
<v Speaker 2>One of the most memorable moments of this college football

0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 2>season was Vandy beating Alabama and the fans tearing down

0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>the goalposts and dropping it into the Cumberland River. Were

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you able to watch the game?

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 12>I watched the entire game. I was screaming the entire time.

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 12>I was calling all my old teammates, and you know,

0:39:43.160 --> 0:39:45.879
<v Speaker 12>being at Georgia Tech, a newly found Georgia Tech guy,

0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 12>I couldn't do anything but root.

0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:48.919
<v Speaker 6>For Vanderbilt because you always want to see those guys

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:49.480
<v Speaker 6>go now. You know.

0:39:50.120 --> 0:39:52.919
<v Speaker 2>So you did finish your college career at Georgia Tech

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 2>after spending the first four years at Vandy. Was it

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.960
<v Speaker 2>great for you to experience something else?

0:39:58.520 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely.

0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:02.440
<v Speaker 12>One of the biggest I think reasons for the change

0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:04.480
<v Speaker 12>was just the coach that they had there, Brent Key.

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 12>He was an offensive line coach at Alabama, coached a

0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:10.360
<v Speaker 12>lot of greats, Cam Robinson and a lot of other guys,

0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:12.839
<v Speaker 12>and that experience was I think where I was really

0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:14.719
<v Speaker 12>able to hone in my craft and realize what it

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 12>was that I didn't have. And ever since then, I've

0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:18.920
<v Speaker 12>been trying to, you know, repair all of those I

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 12>think some of the tendencies and some of the things

0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:24.359
<v Speaker 12>that I still find in myself doing that hinder my game.

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:28.239
<v Speaker 2>So after your season at Georgia Tech, it was draft time.

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:30.879
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals brought you here for a pre draft visit.

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:31.920
<v Speaker 2>What do you remember about that.

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 12>I remember trying to walk to a CVS and the

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:39.359
<v Speaker 12>CVS was closed. I think it was a Sunday, I'm kidding, man.

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 12>I remember meeting Pollack, I remember seeing Deontay Smith downstairs.

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.120
<v Speaker 12>Deontay I played with an Elite Junior Classic game in

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:47.319
<v Speaker 12>high school and that was I think he was one

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 12>of the first people I saw when I walked in.

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 12>So it was like, as soon as I come in,

0:40:50.680 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 12>familiar face right there. And then from then on it

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 12>was just you know, kind of meeting with different people.

0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:58.800
<v Speaker 12>And I mean ever since, it's just been history. You know,

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:00.799
<v Speaker 12>I've been here now three years from then?

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Why did you elect to sign with Cincinnati?

0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:06.120
<v Speaker 6>I did I sign with Cincinnati?

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:07.680
<v Speaker 12>I mean it was quick, you know how like as

0:41:07.760 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 12>soon as the process is over, you know, you get

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 12>your phone calls, coaches call. I remember talking with Pollack,

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:15.120
<v Speaker 12>I remember going through the schemes and everything. I've realized

0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 12>that this was probably the best opportunity I had. We

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 12>my agents and I were happy with just how the

0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:21.520
<v Speaker 12>tackle room was going and everything else with the program,

0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 12>and just thought that I would have a chance. And

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:27.040
<v Speaker 12>years three years later, man, I mean I still you know,

0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 12>don't don't believe it. But three years later, yeah.

0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 2>So you spent your first year on the practice squad

0:41:34.000 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 2>and then last year you suffered a knee injury during

0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:39.720
<v Speaker 2>training camp and missed the season. How did it happen

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:40.839
<v Speaker 2>and how severe was it?

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.760
<v Speaker 6>Man, it was it was a nightmare.

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 12>I was holding a bag and holding a bag standard

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 12>day stepped on somebody's foot behind me and it happened,

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 12>But it was a miniscus here and the whole I

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:58.520
<v Speaker 12>was out for I mean it was. It was pretty grueling,

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:05.120
<v Speaker 12>but maybe a lot stronger mentally physically. I remember during

0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 12>that time I started doing some stuff with you know upstairs,

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.120
<v Speaker 12>doing some extra film review breakdowns, trying to help the

0:42:11.160 --> 0:42:14.319
<v Speaker 12>guys out give different key pointers and different guys. I

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:15.600
<v Speaker 12>think it was able to help with some of my

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:18.839
<v Speaker 12>pass rush recognition, being able to recognize moves. And then

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:20.960
<v Speaker 12>also I took a lot of time in the weight

0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 12>room with Joey and Garrett. I think back then was

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.000
<v Speaker 12>it Todd? I think Todd as well. And I think

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 12>that year last year I think was probably some of

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 12>I think the most progress I've ever seen in my game,

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 12>just because of the small things I never really had

0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 12>time to do when it came to priority or really elevating.

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting that you shared that because I had the

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:47.320
<v Speaker 2>memory of you being around last year while you were rehabbing,

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:51.040
<v Speaker 2>which is somewhat unusual. Many players will have an injury

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:52.640
<v Speaker 2>like that and say all right, and I'm gonna go home.

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll do my rehab there. I don't need to be around.

0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:58.239
<v Speaker 2>But you took advantage to try to continue to get

0:42:58.239 --> 0:42:59.759
<v Speaker 2>better even though you were limited.

0:43:00.680 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely, I think the biggest thing that I was thinking

0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 12>of is how can I contribute when I literally can't contribute?

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:10.400
<v Speaker 12>You know, as a UDFA, I feel like the most

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:12.080
<v Speaker 12>important thing for me to do is always look at

0:43:12.120 --> 0:43:15.600
<v Speaker 12>ways to fill deficiencies. Just because you know you're not

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 12>as a UDFA, you're not initially brought to immediately fill

0:43:19.120 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 12>a deficiency as a spot as a drafted player is. Therefore,

0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:23.880
<v Speaker 12>you have to do a little bit more attentive to

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:25.360
<v Speaker 12>what it is that can be done around here to

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:25.799
<v Speaker 12>help out.

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 2>We're doing fun facts with Devin Cochrane. You got your

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 2>first chance to play a big role in the Tennessee

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:34.280
<v Speaker 2>game recently when Cody Ford got sick.

0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 1>How big were the Butterflies.

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:38.839
<v Speaker 12>I don't want to make it sound like not big

0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 12>at all, but not huge. You brought up the Vanderbilt

0:43:42.960 --> 0:43:45.440
<v Speaker 12>Alabama thing, how they played and beat them. I remember

0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:48.279
<v Speaker 12>when I was I was a sophomore year, junior year

0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 12>going up against those guys, you know, I remember going

0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:52.560
<v Speaker 12>up against Georgia at Vanderbilt, and I'll tell you one

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 12>thing we never really had at Vanderbilt was a home crowd.

0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:58.360
<v Speaker 12>You know, my entire career, I always experienced being what

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:03.240
<v Speaker 12>felt like a traumatic environment. And for the first time,

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:05.200
<v Speaker 12>you know, being around some of the elite guys on

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:06.800
<v Speaker 12>this team and knowing that we really do have a

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 12>stinking chance. It was like, Okay, I know if I'm

0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:09.960
<v Speaker 12>able to fill in and do what it is that

0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:10.520
<v Speaker 12>I need to do.

0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:11.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if I.

0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 12>Can give Joe three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, you know,

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:16.480
<v Speaker 12>however long it takes, I know we have a chance.

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 12>T Jamar, you know, the other guys on the line.

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 6>The defense. I knew everybody was gonna step up.

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 12>Haven't always been on teams where I was extremely confident

0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:27.319
<v Speaker 12>that we would be able to step up. But man,

0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 12>it's a great feeling when you you know, to be

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 12>a part of that first time ever.

0:44:31.400 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, some wild card topics now with Devin Cochrane.

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Who is your all time favorite athlete in any sport?

0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:39.919
<v Speaker 1>And why work done?

0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 12>Growing up, I remember watching the Falcons and I think

0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:46.360
<v Speaker 12>he was just somebody I kind of clinged to because

0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 12>I wasn't a big football player as a kid. But

0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:51.600
<v Speaker 12>my family watched a lot of ball and just that

0:44:52.280 --> 0:44:56.720
<v Speaker 12>you know, kind of mid two thousands generation Atlanta culture

0:44:56.760 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 12>that we had going on back downtown and was it

0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:02.360
<v Speaker 12>a Jermaine Duprix, you know, the just the culture of

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:03.080
<v Speaker 12>Atlanta it was.

0:45:03.160 --> 0:45:05.440
<v Speaker 6>It was a good time to be to be around there.

0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mentioned your wingspan seven feet two inches. Basically

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 2>when you stretch out your arms, it's Kareem abdul Jabbar.

0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:15.680
<v Speaker 2>How hard is it to find a shirt that fits?

0:45:16.080 --> 0:45:17.919
<v Speaker 6>Shirts are tough? Shirts are tough.

0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 12>You get about a you get one or two wears

0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:21.840
<v Speaker 12>out of a shirt and you find yourself given it

0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:24.400
<v Speaker 12>to your wife. Shoes are tough. Shoes are really really

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 12>difficult with shoes. Seventeen pants are really tough length wise.

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:30.880
<v Speaker 12>And then also, you know, I'm not like a just

0:45:30.920 --> 0:45:33.359
<v Speaker 12>like a big, kind of really fat guy. I'm kind

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:36.640
<v Speaker 12>of proportional. So it's like it's difficult to find larger

0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:41.359
<v Speaker 12>genes that are proportionally fit to like athletically built men.

0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:44.080
<v Speaker 12>So it's it's been it's been more difficult.

0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:45.279
<v Speaker 6>But you know there's a.

0:45:45.239 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Business concept there, you know, clothing for alignment.

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.239
<v Speaker 12>Oh yeah, for sure, I've been my mom has giving

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:53.239
<v Speaker 12>me the recommendation before I just I have to build

0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:54.440
<v Speaker 12>up a little capital first, you know.

0:45:55.600 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's talk about your schooling. You were working

0:45:58.640 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 2>toward a master's degree at Georgia Tech. Did you finish

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:02.880
<v Speaker 2>it and what's the subject?

0:46:02.960 --> 0:46:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 12>I finished it and it was program management in the

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 12>School of Building Construction. So it was ultimately construction with

0:46:11.560 --> 0:46:13.239
<v Speaker 12>a focus in management.

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 6>So the overall process.

0:46:14.719 --> 0:46:17.839
<v Speaker 12>Of being able to go from beginning to end as

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:22.520
<v Speaker 12>far as not only the construction workers but also pre

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.760
<v Speaker 12>excuse me, programming and trying to figure out timing aspects

0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:27.960
<v Speaker 12>that we're going to meet deadlines. How do we make

0:46:28.000 --> 0:46:31.680
<v Speaker 12>sure that all the processes are working together symbiotically to

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:32.840
<v Speaker 12>make everything work.

0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Would you like to be involved in that someday or

0:46:35.480 --> 0:46:37.800
<v Speaker 2>do you hope to play ten plus years in the NFL,

0:46:37.920 --> 0:46:39.719
<v Speaker 2>make millions and millions and kickback.

0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:42.160
<v Speaker 12>I hope to play for fifteen years in the NFL,

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:44.839
<v Speaker 12>make millions and kickback, and then go and be able

0:46:44.840 --> 0:46:46.840
<v Speaker 12>to have my own GC and potentially do something that

0:46:46.960 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 12>nature for sure.

0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:50.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, final fun fact for Devin Cochr. And this

0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 2>one's kind of deep. If you could meet anyone in

0:46:53.640 --> 0:46:57.799
<v Speaker 2>history living or deceased. Who would that person be?

0:46:58.760 --> 0:46:59.320
<v Speaker 6>King David?

0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:02.920
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, King David, And I would just ask what was

0:47:02.960 --> 0:47:05.320
<v Speaker 12>going through his head during David versus Good Life.

0:47:06.320 --> 0:47:07.800
<v Speaker 6>That's all it is. I just want to hear what

0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:09.160
<v Speaker 6>was it?

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:11.440
<v Speaker 12>And then I mean even so from that point on,

0:47:11.560 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 12>you know, the transformation from going from a small child

0:47:15.239 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 12>to ultimately a great king. Because you know, when I

0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:19.959
<v Speaker 12>think about football, I think about you know, this past

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:22.200
<v Speaker 12>week and I went in, you know, rookie.

0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:23.520
<v Speaker 6>Everybody thought, you know, hey, he's.

0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 12>Going to get screwed, and you know, there were some

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:27.759
<v Speaker 12>times where it was it was pretty tough. But I

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:30.120
<v Speaker 12>want to make a transformation to be great, you know,

0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:33.040
<v Speaker 12>and that has to start somewhere and that's where I

0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:34.360
<v Speaker 12>feel like it started this past weekend.

0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 6>So make that transformation.

0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:38.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a great answer. This was fun.

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate your time, past the luck the rest of the way.

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:41.200
<v Speaker 6>Thank you so much.

0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:44.120
