00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I'll talk to tight end Hayden Hurst and share where

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: I have him ranked among the greatest hurdlers of all time.

00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Ted Carriss on the condition of his

Speaker 1: subscribing wherever you get your podcasts. It's the greatest thing

20
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: since No Excuses gear. Back in twenty nineteen, when Bengal

21
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: safety Michael Thomas was playing for the New York Giants,

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: he decided that no Excuses would be his personal slogan

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: for the season and shared that message with friends. When

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: he got to training camp, a buddy back home in

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: Houston sent him a care package that included a hat

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: he had made that featured the word excuses in bold

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: white letters with a red slash through it. When Michael

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: wore that hat to camp, teammates like Sequon Barkley and

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Eli Manning asked where he got it, and when he

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: wore it to a local mall, he got stopped by

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: several people asking the same question. So he started a

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: No Excuses clothing brand, and perhaps you've seen Bengals players

33
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: and coaches wearing hats and hoodies featuring that message this year.

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: If you're interested, you can check out the catalog at

Speaker 1: but it helps raise money for academic scholarships for kids

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: in Michael's hometown. Now let's get to football. The Bengals

38
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: have done a remarkable job in free agency in recent years.

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, they signed DJ Reader and Von Bell.

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Last year they added Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton and chitubey

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: O Wooge. And this year they beefed up the offensive

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: line by signing Ted Carris, Alex Kappa, and L. L. Collins.

43
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: But that's not all they did this year. They also

44
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: signed tight end Haydenhurst to a one year, three point

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: five million dollar deal, making him one of the biggest

46
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: bargains in the league at his position. I caught up

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: with the twenty nine year old this week. All right, Hayden,

48
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: here is my current list of the greatest hurdlers of

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 1: all time. Edwin Moses number one, Ronaldo Niemiah number two,

50
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst number three. Last week of Buffalo, it's a

51
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: seven point game, about five minutes to go in the

52
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: third quarter, third down in ten. You go up and

53
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: over a defensive back for a key first down. The

54
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: Bengal score touchdown on that drive. Could you tell in

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: the moment the significance of that hurdle? Honestly, No. When

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: I get out there and I put my homet on,

57
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: I just I'm just having fun. Obviously, I know the situation.

58
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: It's third down, third and long, and I need to

59
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: get the first down. As far as like how crucial

60
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: in the moment it was, I didn't really cross my mind.

61
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to pick up first downs. Again, it's

62
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: kind of my mo here. I'm kind of the first

63
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: down guy. So you know, Joe checks it down and

64
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: trust me to go get ten yards and you know,

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: I go get twelve. I kind of saw him gathering

66
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: himself a little bit. I knew he was gonna go low.

67
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's a dB, so when up top just

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of I guess my thing, when do you make

69
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: that decision? It's really it's more of a reaction thing.

70
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I think if you go into it being like I'm

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna hurdle this guy, it's when you get dumped. I

72
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: definitely I learned my lesson in college. I got dumped

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: in college. So I mean, you get got every once

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: in a while in this game, but you know, I

75
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: get mine when I get got. So it's fun. Now, Well,

76
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: that kind of happened in the first Puffalo game. You

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: went to hurdle Jordan Poyer and he more or less

78
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: was standing up by the time you went airborne. It

79
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: was kind of a helmet to the butt collision. What

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: did you think when you watched the replay? I got

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: over him. He just grabbed my foot on the way down.

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: He asked me about it on Sunday. He was like,

83
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: he was like, you know what you got going on?

84
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: Trying to hurdle everybody? And I was like, I'll be honest, Jordan,

85
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: I black out. I have no idea what I do

86
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: out there. I just gotta have fun, man. He started laughing.

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: So we're talking to Hayden Hurst. Your hurdle moments have

88
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: gone viral, but so did a block you made in

89
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: the Tennessee game earlier this year, or you wiped out

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Bud Dupree. I almost felt badly for him. When you

91
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: came here. You came with a reputation of being a

92
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: great receiver, not necessarily a great blocker. Was your reputation

93
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: wrong or have you vastly improved as a blocker this year.

94
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: I've definitely improved. You know, James kind of helped me

95
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: take my game in the run game to a completely

96
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: different level. But I mean, you can watch my tape.

97
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Since I've been the league, I've always kind of had

98
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: that chip on my shoulder. Just play physical. That's just

99
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: that's my mo. You know, when I line up in

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: front of a guy, I take it personal. You know,

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: I think he thinks that he's more outa than me,

102
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: stronger than me, better than me. So I take it personal.

103
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: And that's just what I do. I go fly around

104
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: and I don't really care about my body and whatever

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: it takes to win. You mentioned your tight Ends coach

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: James Casey. You guys seem inseparable, like you, He played

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: professional baseball before he ever played college football. I don't

108
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: know if that's part of the link, but what is

109
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: it between you two guys? We just get along very

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: very well. You know we've had we have the same

111
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: kind of background, similar or you know, same life experiences, UM,

112
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: and then mentally we're wired the same. You know, he

113
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: was a physical, you know, crazy, crazy player when he played,

114
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: you know, for the Eagles and the Texans UM and

115
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: that's I think that's why we hit it off so well.

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: You know, he kind of understands my mindset heading into

117
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: a game on Sunday. He knows I'm gonna be prepared,

118
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: and he knows that I take it personal. You know,

119
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't show up and worry about Instagram

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: or likes or like that. Like I go out there

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: and I want to I want people to feel me.

122
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: You kind of touchdown pasted last week against Buffalo, it's

123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: third down in seven, the Bills converge on Jamar Chase

124
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: and leave you open right at the goal line. Was

125
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: that one of those plays where you could sense the

126
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: likelihood of how well it was going to work. Yes,

127
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean throughout the week we called it. We understood

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: like what they were probably gonna run defensively down there

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Um, and then we kind of

130
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: had a little like a little fake check in there too.

131
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: And as soon as you know, we fake checked it

132
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: out to Jamar, they started communicating and I kind of

133
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: looked at their communication, looked at Joe, and I was like,

134
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: there are going to miss this up. And sure enough,

135
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: they converged on Jamar, and you know, I pop wide

136
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: open and I saw the ball in the air and

137
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: I was just kind of waiting for it to come down.

138
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: So that's one of those that kind of hang up

139
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: there forever. Other than missing three games with a calf

140
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: injury this year has this first year with the Bengals

141
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: been everything you hoped it would be. Absolutely I told

142
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: you on the sideline after we had the game, kind

143
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: of clenched that this time last year, I was sitting

144
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: in my house in Florida with my family watching the

145
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: divisional game on TV, and it's just it's crazy how

146
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: life comes full circle. Now you gotta keep fighting, got

147
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: to be resilient, and you know, I've kind of fought

148
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: myself into this position an hour talking AFC Championships, So

149
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of surreal. You faced the Chiefs on Sunday.

150
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: The tight end on the opposite side of the field

151
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: is obviously one of the best. Travis Kelsey put up

152
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: crazy numbers this year one hundred and ten catches, more

153
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: than thirteen hundred yards, twelve touchdowns. You probably won't get

154
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: as many targets as he does on Sunday, But do

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: you go into a game like that thinking I am

156
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: going to show that I am the best tight end

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: on the field that day. I don't try to worry

158
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: about numbers. It's a different offense, you know. Travis is

159
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: you know, their focal point. Now he's gonna get his targets,

160
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his catches, obviously he should. He's the

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: best tight end in the NFL. Going into a game

162
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: like this, I really just want to put on display

163
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: what I'm all about. You know, I'm not worried about

164
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: other guys or what they're gonna do and things like that.

165
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: You know. Defensively, we'll have a plan to try to

166
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: stop him, but I'm focused on what I need to

167
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: do to help this team win. Whatever that is. They're

168
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: down catches, red zone catches. I'm just gonna go in there,

169
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: locking and do my job. It's going to be called

170
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday. They're calling for a temperature in the mid twenties.

171
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: A wind chill in New England on Christmas Eve was

172
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: four degrees. You always warm up in the crop top,

173
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: mid section exposed. Will that be the case on Sunday?

174
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: And if so? Why? And we've won ten in a row. Man,

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: it can't stop now. Yeah, it's crop top season all

176
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: year round. I guess I gotta roll with it. You know,

177
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm not that superstitious, but now that you mentioned it,

178
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: you better wear the crop top. It'll come out, absolutely,

179
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Congratulations on an awesome season today, Best

180
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: of luck in the FC Championship. Game, Yes, I appreciate it.

181
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: I consider myself one of the least superstitious people in

182
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: the world. But during the game on Sunday, I will

183
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: be using the pen that I've been using throughout the

184
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: winning streak. The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you

189
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, the current forecast for Sunday night calls

190
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: for highs in the mid twenties, lows around ten degrees,

191
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: where the windshill is low as five below. That's cold,

192
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: so it's good to know that the Bengals have Joe

193
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: Burr at quarterback. Jay Morrison of The Athletic pointed out

194
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: last week that the Bengals are now seven to oz

195
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: with Burrow at QB when the temperature is thirty five

196
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: degree ease or colder. And consider the two games with

197
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: the worst weather that the Bengals have played in this

198
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: year in New England, the temperature with seventeen degrees and

199
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the wind show was four burrow through for two hundred

200
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: and eighty four yards and three touchdowns in the first half.

201
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: Then last week, in that snowstorm in Buffalo, Joe started

202
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: the game nine for nine with two touchdowns and finished

203
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: with a passer rating of one oh one point nine.

204
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Here's offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. I don't think anything has

205
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: any impact on him, truthfully. He's just he can compartmentalize

206
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: as good as anybody. Weather doesn't bother him. He's you know,

207
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's proud to be from Athens, where it's

208
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: probably cold and miserable from like November on is you

209
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: get out in the winter months. But he's playing those

210
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: games the whole life. He's playing in that weather. It

211
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: doesn't bother him. You know. It takes a lot to

212
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: get his mind off of the task at hand, and

213
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: it's he's laser focused and whether Stoe rain cold, that

214
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: doesn't phase him in the least bit. I think he

215
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: actually rather enjoys it, to be honest. He's a little

216
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: bit of a mutter like that. He likes that. Of course,

217
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: A key reason why Joe excelled last week was the

218
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: stellar play of the Bengals injury ravage offensive line. It

219
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: appears that Jonah Williams and Alex Kappa might be able

220
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: to play in the Super Bowl if the Bengals make it,

221
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: but they haven't practiced this week, so it's likely that Jackson,

222
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Carmen and Max Sharping will start again, along with Hakim

223
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: Identagy in place of l Collins. Here's Ted Carriss on

224
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: the Old Line, considering the stakes last week and the

225
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: injuries you guys had upfront? Was that one of your

226
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: proudest days as an Oldlignement? It was. It's always hard

227
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: to get a win in that stadium. My season had

228
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: ended two years in a row there in terrible fashion.

229
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: It's glad third time was a charm. I think everybody's

230
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: wondering about the status of your knee at this point,

231
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: ready to go practice. Well today, we're gonna go out

232
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: there and practicing tomorrow and go out and perform our

233
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: best on Sunday afternoon or evening. What did you think

234
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: of Jackson? I thought he played phenomenal. I think he

235
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: proved he can play tackle in this league in a

236
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: big moment and had a really good game. We're gonna

237
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: need another great performance Altuhim. He's got a big matchup

238
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: with Frank Clark, and that's gonna be another another test

239
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: for him. But I know he's up for the challenge.

240
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna help us win the game. Chris Jones was

241
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: first team All Pro. You mentioned Frank Clark. How good

242
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: is their front? They have a very good front, well coached,

243
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: good coach over there, good culture, a lot of good players.

244
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: The young guy Karlotis is another standout. So we have

245
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: our work cut out for us. I think we started

246
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: well today and we're gonna need to do that these

247
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: next two days in order to play our best on Sunday.

248
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Chris Jones is a giant. He's six six, three hundred

249
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: ten pounds and had fifteen and a half sacks this year.

250
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: That's fourth most in the NFL and number one among

251
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,360

Speaker 1: XS and o's on TV and social media, and one

258
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: of my favorites is Brian Baldinger from the NFL Network,

259
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: who does Baldy's breakdowns. I had a chance to discuss

260
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals in Chiefs with him this week. Brian, you

261
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: are an NFL offensive lineman for eleven years. How would

262
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: you describe the performance of the Bengals offensive line last week?

263
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Missing three starters? It was brilliant. It was brilliant performance

264
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: by Jackson at left tackle and Max at right guard,

265
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: and a team at right tackle. I mean, you wouldn't

266
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: know that they were the backups, and that's a credit

267
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: to Frank Pollock, the offensive line, the coaching, because it's

268
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: not easy in those conditions against a really good defense.

269
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, it was one of the best offensive

270
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: performances they've had whole year, and you really can't find

271
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: a lot of bad plays or missed assignments or anything

272
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: from that those three right now, let me follow up

273
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: specifically on Jackson Carmen. He was a left tackle at Clemson.

274
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: He played guard last year as a rookie in the NFL.

275
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: He was back at left tackle last week. What did

276
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: you think of him specifically and how comfortable did he

277
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: look back at tackle. Well, you know, he got in there,

278
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, obviously with the injury to you know, to

279
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: Jonah the week before. So he got in there against Baltimore,

280
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: and I thought he played well until the very end,

281
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: and then I thought it was just really a matter

282
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: of time working, you know with Wolson and just kind

283
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: of feeling his way in there. But I thought fundamentally

284
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: his sets were good. He's a big two hand puncher.

285
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: You don't see a lot of that anymore. But he

286
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: didn't get out over his skis against you know, a

287
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: variety of Russias against Buffalo. I thought he was excellent

288
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: in the run game. So, I mean the run game

289
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: really kind of took off and flourished obviously, uh you

290
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: know with what Joe did and what uh some aj did.

291
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: So I thought it was I thought it was really good.

292
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was solid. You wouldn't know that this

293
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: is his first start in the NFL left tack and

294
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm right, And so he looked really comfortable there,

295
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: like like, you know, part of the reason why they

296
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: took about at Clemson is they thought he could probably

297
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: play left tackle. Obviously, they had him make guard last year,

298
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: but look, he's gonna get he's gonna get challenged this

299
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: week in a way. Uh, you know from a variety

300
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: of rushers again that you know, are pretty good at

301
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: what they do in an atmosphere that's tough to play,

302
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: and so the bigger test is this week. But I

303
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: thought he answered all the questions. And you know, the

304
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: best thing is you never talked about him during the game.

305
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, That's that's like the that's like the greatest

306
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: thing you could say about an offensive line and especially

307
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: a kid making his first start, is you never said

308
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: anything about him the whole game. Brian. At one point

309
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: during the game last week, you tweeted, very simply, Joey

310
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: b doesn't miss when you're watch Joe Burrow. What makes

311
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: you shake your head and say, this kid's unbelievable? You

312
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: know when I said that, I don't know how many

313
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: complete in a row like for six or whatever it was,

314
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, including a touchdown. But I think it's just

315
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: that you know everything in this world. I don't care

316
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: what you do. You throw a football, you know, you

317
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: learn how to spin a basketball in your finger, I

318
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: don't care what it is like. Everything is difficult before

319
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: it gets easy. And for Joe, he just makes it

320
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: look easy, like he's going through progressions, you know, about

321
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: as fast as you can go through a progression. Yet

322
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: the footwork, the delivery, the fundamentals are all there to

323
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: make sure the ball is thrown at the right spot.

324
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: And that's obviously not easy to do and very few

325
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: can do it. Yet here he is in his third

326
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: year and he's doing it like on a consistent basis. Oh,

327
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: by the way, it's snowing out, it's cold, it's a

328
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: slick field, it's in hostile territory, and you wouldn't know.

329
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be in his backyard and Athens, Ohio,

330
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, throwing to his dad or something. It wouldn't

331
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: be any different. Probably for visiting the Brian Baldinger from

332
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: the NFL Network. He did a Baaltis breakdown this week

333
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: on Mike Hilton. The dude is five nine, one hundred

334
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: eighty four pounds. You referred to him as a pit bull.

335
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: What makes Mike Hilton so special? I think the fact

336
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: that a he does everything full speed. You know, the

337
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: blitzers are full speed. Defeating blocks at the line of

338
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: scrimmage is full speed. Bracketing in double coverage you know

339
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: on Stefon Diggs, Like it's just it's just like he

340
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: plays the game very fast, and you wouldn't know that

341
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: he's five nine, you know, in one hundred and ninety

342
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: pounds and change. You wouldn't know it, you know, by

343
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: the way he plays, because you shouldn't be able to

344
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: play the game that fast, hit, that hard attack, Josh

345
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: Allen's throwing arm, like the way he does as fast

346
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: as he does unless you are completely one percent confident

347
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: in what you're doing. And so I think a he's

348
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: very well prepared assignment wise, like like you know, it's

349
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: really special, but it's it's just a full speed, full

350
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: attack approach that he has play and play out. So

351
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday, the Bengals are going to try to beat

352
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City for the fourth time in about thirteen months.

353
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: Lou Anna Romo has done an incredible job of containing

354
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs offense. What do

355
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: you think of lou I think of him in the

356
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: highest regard, Like he's as a tactician, Like I think

357
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: he's as good as there is in the whole business.

358
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: The things that like the things he did last year

359
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: in the championship gain. You know, at halftime down twenty

360
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: one three were remarkable, but you can see, like, but

361
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: if you wait till halftime to make adjustments, sometimes sometimes

362
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: it's too late, right, so you see it. But just

363
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: the game planning, like his ability to say, Okay, this

364
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: is the guy that can beat us, you know, whether

365
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: it's Stefon Diggs last week or whether it's Travis Kelsey

366
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: and some of these games, like he's going to do

367
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: his best to take your number one option away in

368
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: the passing game. And that's you know, not everybody can

369
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: do that because you know Stefan days, Travis Kelsey, they're

370
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: all over the place. Dan, you know, they're not in

371
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: one place where it's kind of easy to say, Okay,

372
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: this is how we're gonna double, Like you've got to

373
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: have a variety of ways to double depending where he's at.

374
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: And and then you know, it really helps to have

375
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: DJ read or help healthy in this defense, like everybody

376
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: needs that big guy in the middle. You know, it

377
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: helps that BJ's playing really well and Tupo's playing well

378
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: and Osia is healthy, Like all those things are good.

379
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: But I think saying okay, this is the number one option,

380
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: they have whether it's third down or red zone or

381
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: this is the big play guy, and to have a

382
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: plan to take him away. And that's that's something I

383
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: think that Lou specializes in. So the big storyline this

384
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: week is obviously the status of Patrick mahomes right ankle,

385
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: assuming that he is less mobile than usual. What will

386
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: Andy read in the Chiefs try to do well? I think,

387
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you're building a game plan against you know,

388
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: with a hobble patch Mahomes, because none of us believe

389
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: he's gonna be anywhere near one hundred percent, so you know,

390
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: the first thing is, you know, make sure he's protected.

391
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, like Jeff McKinnon is a great personal protector.

392
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: Mike Kilton comes on a blitz like we saw last week.

393
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: I think Jeff McKinnon is capable of notifying that. Now

394
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: it helps that you know, you don't always know where

395
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: it's coming from, but Jeff mckinns is a great personal protector.

396
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: Then they have run the ball. Asaiah Pacheco had his

397
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: one of his best games ever last week. Like he's

398
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: he's a good number one running back and they're good upfront.

399
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: So run the ball more, find ways to run it.

400
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: You know whether it's Cardarius Tony on fly sweeps and

401
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: things like that. You know, like your victory against San Francisco,

402
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 1: well they're victory against San Francisco this week. I mean

403
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: McCole Hardman was going sideways scoring touchdowns that day. So

404
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: like find different ways to run it. And then like

405
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: you always have Travis Kelsey, He's your safety blank. You know,

406
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: whether it's tight end screens or stick routes or you know,

407
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: just his ability to uncover against anything is elite. And

408
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: then if you're gonna take shots down the field, you know,

409
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: whether it's to Marquez Valdez Scantling or whether it's to

410
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Noah Gray, whoever it is, make sure that you're that

411
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: you have max protection. Make sure the edges are protected

412
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: and Trey Hendrickson isn't coming free at you, or you know,

413
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: whether it's Logan Wilson up the middle, whatever the pressure is, like,

414
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: make sure you can account for it. To give Mahomes time,

415
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: because I think the idea that Mahomes can do what

416
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: he has done for six five straight years now is

417
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: to extend these plays Like I don't know that you

418
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: can count on that. I think he'll still try to

419
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: do some of it, but he's not going to be

420
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: one hundred percent to do it. So I would say

421
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: that package of things I just said are things you

422
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: can lean on them. We started with the Bengals offensive line.

423
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: It was excellent last week, but it was a one

424
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: game sample size. How good is the Chiefs defensive led

425
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: by Chris Jones? Chris Jones a handful. I mean, if

426
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: you leave him one on one, I don't care who's

427
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: in front of him, He's a handful and he's gonna

428
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: win one on ones. So I think it starts with

429
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: Chris and they move him around. They don't leave him

430
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: in just one place. I mean, here is the three

431
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: technique defensive tackle, but they'll put him outside on the

432
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: edge and you know, working against offensive tackles. They'll loop

433
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: him on stunts. So it starts with him. But you know,

434
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Karloftis is a good rusher, Dana is a good rusher.

435
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Dunlop as you know, um, you know from his years

436
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: and since that is a good rusher, you know, so

437
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: they and Frank Clark is an explosive player. Oh and

438
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: by the way, Steve Magnolah has been you know, the

439
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: defense court in or two Super Bowl championship teams. So

440
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: just the way lou can dial up, you know, certain

441
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: pressures and situations still can steep. And if you get

442
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: to the red zone and your threat to score a touchdown,

443
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: you can bet zero coverage. He's coming, zero blitzes are coming.

444
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: He's gonna challenge you. And so you have to factor

445
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: all those things in to your offense. Line out like

446
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: they know how to protect Joe when they have to,

447
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: and so they might have to, you know, help the

448
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: offensive line in at times. Last thing, Brian, what are

449
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: a couple of your biggest keys on Sunday? Well, I

450
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: think I don't have any fear obviously with the success

451
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: they've had about against Kansas City and last week against Buffalo.

452
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: But the first thing you have to do as an

453
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: offense is you have to handle the atmosphere. You know,

454
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: you have to handle the noise, the atmosphere. Every third down,

455
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: they're going to be on their feet. They know they're

456
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: one step away from a super Bowl. So you're going

457
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: to get the Chiefs best from their fan base, you know,

458
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: in this game. And so it doesn't look like any

459
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: of this bothers Joe, but it can bother a Keen.

460
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: It can bother Jackson. There's guys that you know could

461
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: be affected by that. So as a group, they got

462
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: to handle that number one. I think if they put it,

463
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: looks like they want to play Lagarius Sneed in the slot,

464
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: and so Jalen Watson's outside. You know, you've got two

465
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: rookie corners out there. I gotta believe that. You know,

466
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: Jamar and t are gonna get chances on the outside

467
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: against these guys, and so a lot of them are

468
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: contested catches. I like your receivers against their corners. Joe's

469
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna give it to them and a chance to do

470
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: it and to see what kind of damage they can inflict.

471
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: I think that's important. And then you know, the running

472
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: game was really good last week. It was really good,

473
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: and you know when that happens, like Joe's gonna be

474
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: even better when the running game takes off. So I

475
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: think those three things are going to be affect our

476
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: game plan wise, like if the Bengals win, those things

477
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: are going to happen. And then defensively, like, look, Kelsey

478
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 1: is their guy. I mean, I think they can handle Juju.

479
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I think they can handle all the other guys. Marcus

480
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: Valdess Scantling, sky more whatever it is. But you know,

481
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Kelsey scored two touchdowns last week like he's a red

482
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: zone demon. So can they continue to nullify or reduce

483
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's impacted the game? Brian, We love talking football

490
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: time for this week's Know the Faux segment and for

491
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: the latest time the Chiefs. I spoke to Adam Tischer,

492
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: who covers the team for ESPN. Adam, we are not

493
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: going to know how mobile Patrick Mahomes is on his

494
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: injured right ankle until he takes the field on Sunday.

495
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: Assuming he can't run around as much as he usually does,

496
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: what will the Chiefs do to offset that on offense? Yeah,

497
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: that's the million dollar question, right. You know, Andy Reid's

498
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: got some work to do there. People don't think of

499
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: him in those terms necessarily, but that the scrambling, the

500
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: running big part of his game. You remember the Bengal

501
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: spied him in the second half the AFC Championship game.

502
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Did a nice job took that away from him, and

503
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason they were able to

504
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: come back, A big reason they were able to come back.

505
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: He led the league in outside the pocket passes during

506
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: the regular season hundred and thirteen of those. Didn't have

507
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: any after the injury. So is that part of his

508
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: game going to be gone? You know, he's very good

509
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: from the pocket too. He had the best QBR in

510
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: the league throwing from the pocket that during the regular season.

511
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: But now that the Bengals know about all this, he

512
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: seems like he's a moving sitting targets. So it's a dilemma.

513
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: Frand You read and he's going to earn his paycheck

514
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: for sure on Sunday because they've got a lot of

515
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: work to do to get to him ready for this game.

516
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it until reading a few stories this week.

517
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: But there is a little bit of a history here.

518
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: He had a high ankle sprain now is the left

519
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: ankle not the right a few years ago and in

520
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: the next game he threw for four touchdown passes against

521
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Does that say something about his ability to

522
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: overcome whatever physical ailment he might be dealing with. Yeah,

523
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: it does. I don't know that that injury was quite

524
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: like this one. He never had to come out of

525
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, he was hobbling around a little bit.

526
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that at the time, but it

527
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: was it didn't seem like it was as bad as

528
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: this one. So but certainly, you know, he's determined to

529
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: get to do what he can to get ready to

530
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: play this game. So we'll see on Sunday how well

531
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: he is. But certainly this is an important thing to him,

532
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: no doubt. We are talking to Adam Tisher, who covers

533
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or ESPN. We know all about Travis Kelsey

534
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: here in Cincinnati dating back to his UC days. He

535
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: was targeted seventeen times. Last week he had fourteen catches,

536
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: two for touchdowns. The Bengals held him too four catches

537
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: back in December. How dependent are the Chiefs right now

538
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: on Travis Kelsey a lot? And in particular, if you

539
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who can't do the things he normally does, um,

540
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: you know they needed him in a big way with

541
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback for one drive and with Mahomes hobbled

542
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game, they really needed Travis

543
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Kelsey and he really picked up his game. So you

544
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: know it'll be a big factor on Sunday for sure.

545
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: And you know, he's sort of Mahomes a security blanket.

546
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: He's the guy he goes to when when when times

547
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: are tough, and uh so, um, yeah, he needs to

548
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: have a big game on Sunday, no doubt about him.

549
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: So forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Purty has the best

550
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: seventh round draft pick in the NFL this year. Isaiah

551
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: Pacheco's probably number two on the list. He's been terrific

552
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. How has he impacted the offense and

553
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: how important is he on Sunday? Yeah, you know, you

554
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: would think the Chiefs will try to run the ball

555
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: maybe a little more, although I never really count on that.

556
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: With Andy Reid, that's not that's not his thing. He's

557
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: a throw first, quote play caller as we know, so

558
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: I never predict that, but you would think that that

559
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: would make a lot of sense. And Pacheco has certainly

560
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: done a nice job for the Chiefs. He's revitalized their

561
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: running game. They have Jerick McKinnon as they're passing running back,

562
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: and he's done a nice job there, and so they've

563
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: sort of become a nice one two combination. And it's

564
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: hard to see the Chiefs winning without a decent contribution

565
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday from Pacheco. So this is going to be

566
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: the fourth meeting between these two teams in about thirteen months.

567
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: The Bengals have won three nail biers. Is there something

568
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: that stands out to you from a Kansas City perspective

569
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: that the Bengals have been able to do that other

570
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: teams have not. I think they've been able to get

571
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: some matchups. They've done a favorable job of getting some

572
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: matchups that they really liked, particularly on offense. They've done

573
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: a nice job of creating some things I think, maybe

574
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: more than some other opponents that have been favorable to

575
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: favorable to them, and then taken advantage of those things.

576
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: I feel like the chief had not done a good

577
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: job of getting Joe Burrow on the ground. I mean,

578
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: they had four sacks and the regular season game last year,

579
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: and then I think only one in each of the

580
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: last two games against the Bengals. So they need to

581
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: do a better job of that. I mean, they were

582
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: second in the league in sacks this year, but only

583
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: could get to him one time in the game a

584
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. So you know, that's another thing that

585
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: they've done well. The Chiefs have done well against other teams,

586
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: but not necessarily against the Bengals, And you know, a

587
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of it just comes down to Cincinnati has just

588
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: made the plays when it really counted. You remember that

589
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: that big four down pass and the regular season game

590
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: last year to Jamar Chase when the Chiefs came with

591
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: an all outlets. It took a perfect pass and a

592
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: great catch and they certainly executed it well. So the

593
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: Bengals have just done a markable job of getting it

594
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: done when it had to be done against the Chiefs.

595
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: They really have a couple more questions for Adam Tisher

596
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: from ESPN. Let me follow up on the pass rush.

597
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: The Bengals offensive line was battered last week. That played

598
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: great against Buffalo. Now it's a one game sample size.

599
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City's defensive front is led by All Pro Chris Jones.

600
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: How has that group played this year? It's been a

601
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: nice year for them. They haven't been consistent maybe you

602
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: know in the Cincinnati game is a kind of a

603
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: noticeable one of the things that I'm talking about that

604
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: they that was one of the games they just weren't

605
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: what they had been most of the season. But they've

606
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: done a nice job, particularly getting after the quarterback. And

607
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Jones has had a nice season, his

608
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: best season. He tied his career high with sacks fifteen

609
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: and a half. But he's been a more consistent presence

610
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: this year, I think than he was back in twenty

611
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: eighteen when he also had fifteen and a half. They've

612
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: got a rookie George Karloftus, who has played well the

613
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: second half of the season defensive ends, though they've got

614
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: some depth there as well, Carlos Dunlap, the former Bengal

615
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: Frank Clark. So they've got some players who can get

616
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. And I'm eager to see what they

617
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: have cooked up on Sunday. But by and large, that

618
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: group has done a nice job. The Chiefs have never

619
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: been an underdog in Patrick Mahomes twelve career playoff games.

620
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City opened as a slight favorite for this game.

621
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: Now it's swung. The Bengals are at least currently a

622
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: slight favorite in Kansas City. What's the vibe. Does it

623
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: feel like the Chiefs are an underdog this week? Yeah?

624
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: I think given the all the uncertainty with Patrick Mahomes, Yes,

625
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: And I think the Bengals have a lot to do

626
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: with that. You know, they've beat the Chiefs three times,

627
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: although all three close games. I think there's a lot

628
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: of in the town, not necessarily among the team, but

629
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of anks there. Oh no, the Bengals.

630
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: You know, we can't beat the Bengals. You know, that

631
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff from Chiefs fans. But so it's that

632
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: it's the ankle to Mahomes. And I think a little

633
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: bit is the way the Bengals played in Buffalo. I

634
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: mean that was that was one of the more dominant

635
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: playoff performances of the season. I think, you know, the

636
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: Bengals just controlled that thing right from the start and

637
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: you never really felt once it got the fourteen to nothing,

638
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: you never really felt the Bills were a factor in

639
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: that game. And Buffalo is a good team and doing

640
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: it in Buffalo in the snow, that was an impressive performance.

641
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: So that that opened my eyes a little bit. I

642
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you that. So it's gonna be tough. The Chiefs

643
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: are gonna have to play well if they're gonna win

644
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I don't think there's any doubt about that

645
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: last thing. For Adam Tyser from ESPN. From your perspective

646
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: seeing this team every week, Kansas City wins and advances

647
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. If the Chiefs do what I'm

648
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: going to give you a couple answers there. They have

649
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: to get Joe Burrow on the ground. If they can

650
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: sack him and create I'm going to say a couple turnovers,

651
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: take a couple of possessions away from the Bengals. That way,

652
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: I think they can win this game. I think they

653
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: can do enough offensively. I feel like if they can

654
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: get after Burrow and create a couple turnovers and protect

655
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: the ball themselves, I think they'll be I think that

656
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: is the recipe for a Chiefs win. I know it's

657
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,600
