67

00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: Joe thirty four forty two, four hundred and eighty one yards,

70
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,120

Speaker 1: had a personal high eight catches, one hundred and fifty

72
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: five yards and a touchdown. What did you guys see?

73
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you spread them out? Was it just take completions?

74
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: Or what. Yeah, they got into base defense, put initial

75
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: deal lineman in the game, and so we started going

76
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: empty and there was a lot of space out there

77
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: to complete to the guys, and they made the rest

78
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 1: happen after the catch. So, Tyler, what you were working

79
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: the middle of the football field like a magician like

80
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: you always do. What were you seeing? Ah Man, just

81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: the same thing again. We got that we get you know,

82
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: and and we're so comfortable, uh known and now and

83
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: seeing it. We made our adjustment weekend we got during

84
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: during a weekend, they finally thrown a hit and work

85
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: for us. So you had you had Chase had eight

86
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 1: catches one hundred and thirty, Tyler had eight one hundred

87
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: and fifty five, Tea Higgins five for ninety three. You

88
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: almost had three receivers with one hundred yards receiver. And

89
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: that's being like a point guard distributing the ball. Man. Yeah,

90
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: we were trying to get t to one hundred. It

91
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: couldn't quite make it happen, but I mean that's that's

92
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: how you wanted to be distributing the ball defense telling

93
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: me but not predetermining. So that's what I tried to

94
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: strive for. It. Let me ask both of you guys,

95
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: third down, your lead the NFL coming into the game

96
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: on third down quarterback rating today it was first down

97
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: though all three of your touchdowns thirty two yard or

98
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: forty one yard, sixty yard or to Tyler or on

99
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: first down you had three other receptions for over twenty

100
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: yards on first down. You guys were killing them on

101
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: first down? What was it? We had a great plan

102
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: coming in coach and did a great job. And that's

103
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: that's why you'd want to be You don't want to

104
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: be in third downs. That's when defenses, you know, try

105
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: to make their money. So you try to make it

106
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: happen on first and second down. That's what we did today.

107
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: What did you see, Tyler? Did you see a lot

108
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: of opportunity when you lined up on first down? It's like, oh, yeah,

109
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: he's coming to me. Yeah. A lot of the times,

110
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, based off the look that they give us

111
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: and then they run a lot of a lot of

112
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: base to our eleven. So that's where we take advantage

113
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: of our opportunity. That's why we you know, stayed in

114
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: and kept continue to throw the ball because we had

115
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: to Mitch mess look every single time. You guys both

116
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: said that this team offensively is finding an identity, and

117
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: it seems to be the case. Two weeks in a row,

118
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: thirty points from war. I mean, now, if if you guys,

119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: since two thousand and then you guys scored twenty five

120
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: points from where you're sixty two six sixty two wins,

121
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: six losses and two ties, I mean twenty five points

122
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: the magic number. Man, Yeah, I mean, it's always been

123
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: thirty for me. Usually if we get usually if we

124
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: get thirty, you're not losing, and then throw for four hundred,

125
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: you're not losing. It's always good. Appreciate it, guys. Thanks.

126
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,520

134
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Bengals dominated most of the game. The Falcons had a

135
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: long touchdown drive in the second quarter, followed by a

136
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown pass, But on their other six

137
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: possessions that began in their own territory, the Falcons punted

138
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: on all six. Joseph Osa, who missed his rookie year

139
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: due to injuries, had his first NFL sack, and I

140
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: talked to him about it after the game. I did

141
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: it feels uh. First of all, I want to say,

00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,480

00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: finally able to contribute to the team. And that's all

148
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: I've ever wanted to, just prove myself to these guys

149
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: that I can play. Your teammates went nuts after that sack.

Speaker 1: the Falcons got with less than a minute ago in

156
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: the second quarter. I thought the defense overall played extremely well.

157
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: What did you think? I think? I think we played

158
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: a great tun Uh. You know, we're a team that's

159
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: always looking for for things to clean up and ways

160
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: to get better, And no matter how great we played,

161
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: there's always things to fix. And that's what we're gonna do.

162
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna enjoy this win today and then we're gonna

163
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board and fix the things

164
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: we need to fix. I think one of the big

165
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: storylines going into the game was could you stop that

166
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: running game without DJ Raider, without Josh Too, but without

167
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: Logan Wilson. They ran it well on one drive, but

168
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: that was it. Yeah, that's that's created those interior guys,

169
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: j to Fele, you know, Tyler Shelvin, Big bj Um,

170
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: bj Hill, the Zach Carter, them guys just stepping up

171
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: and um, they've been patiently watching behind those those leaders

172
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned being out and um they did a good

173
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: job of filling in and stopping that run. And we

174
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: really we really used it, We really needed it. Were

175
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: you able to watch Joe Burrow on this video board

176
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: or while you're on the sideline at all, because it

177
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: was quite a shell. Yeah, we were, we were, we were.

178
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: We took a little glimpse here and there in between

179
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: trying to trying to make some sideline adjustments. But yeah,

180
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: he he's amazing. Zeza breaking start certainly is. Now. Here's

181
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: one more one on one conversation as Lap spend three

182
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: minutes with Zach Taylor after the win. Coach, your quarterback

183
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: throws for four and eighty one yards complete thirty four

184
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: out of forty two, Chase eight catchers for one hundred

185
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: and thirty boyd eight catchers for a buck fifty five.

186
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: Chase had two touchdowns, Boydows one, then Higgins five for

187
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: ninety three almost three hundred yard receivers there and a

188
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: lot of the damage done on first down. I mean,

189
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow leads the NFL and third down quarterback rating

190
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: today on first down. Oh my god, you guys were

191
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: in machine. We tried out to be greedy. We knew

192
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: that they had some injuries at dB going into the game,

193
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and they suffered even more as the game went on,

194
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: So we wanted to make sure we didn't let him

195
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: off the hook with all the skill guys we got.

196
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Joe did a great job operating, get down his hand quickly.

197
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Let those guys get some yard after the catch. Five

198
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: of the six possessions against the Saint you scored, and

199
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: then the first four today you score nine out of ten.

200
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: That's a that's a run. That's hard to beat. Yeah,

201
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: and we got to keep proving ourselves. You know. It's

202
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: just because we did in one game doesn't mean it's

203
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: going to carry it to the next. Our guys obviously

204
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: have all confidence, but every every game brings a new challenge,

205
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: and our guys got to put in a great week

206
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: work to be ready for Cleveland the next next week.

207
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Your defense shut them out in the second half, so

208
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: no touchdowns allowed obviously because they didn't allow any points,

209
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: but no touchdowns allowed in the second half after seven

210
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: NFL football games, that's pretty extraordinary. Allows us to get

211
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: our feet under us on offense and be efficient over

212
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: there knowing that our defense is gonna keep points off

213
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: the board. Man. Just a great job by lou and

214
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: his staff and the players believing in the system, stepping

215
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: up and making those plays. You start from your own

216
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: two yard line in that last possession, you drive all

217
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: the way down to basically their two yard line and basically,

218
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, kneel on and sit on the football. How

219
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: gratifying is that to have that kind of a drive

220
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: to close it out. That's just how you want to finish,

221
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's our defense had had done a great job.

222
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to put them back out there. We

223
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: kind of had the sense that that's the way it

224
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: could go. If we're on the minus two, man might

225
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: be able to eat up nine minutes here and finish

226
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: on the ball. And then and then to even finish

227
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: it the way we did with one of our our players.

228
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: We work over and over. You never know when the

229
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: time is going to call for it. Hayden getting under

230
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: center and trying to draw them off side. He did

231
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: a great job of it. It was a great way

232
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: to finish the game. And finally, when you look at it,

233
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: how much better can this offense play? You're a you're

234
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: in a stretch right now, in a two game stretch,

235
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: that is pretty extraordinary. I mean, what do you what

236
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: do you tell your team when they're playing this, Well,

237
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: there's always things we can improve on, you know, it's

238
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: it's um, whether it's making sure we're better in short guardage, um,

239
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: not putting ourselves, you know, behind the eight ball and

240
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: third down. There's always things that we can clean up

241
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: to make sure we do a better job. We had

242
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: a couple of ements. It happened, U So there's always

243
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: things that we can point to and improve on so

244
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: that we can be a better offense than next week.

245
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: And your offense looks good, coach. You got a lot

246
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: of weapons, you got am all involved, you got a

247
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: quarterback that has the answers to the test, and you

248
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: called a hell of a football game. And that was

249
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: something to watch. It really was. It was a lot

250
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of fun, you know, and so we just gotta keep

251
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: the momentum going, sir. Thanks Monday Night football in Cleveland

260
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about Joe Burrow. It

261
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: was incredible today thirty four for forty two, four hundred

262
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: eighty one yards, three touchdowns, no picks. Also ran for

263
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: twenty one yards and a TD. I guess the Baltimore

264
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: game last year was better when he threw for five

265
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to twenty five, but not by much, not by much.

266
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: And of course all the naysayers will say, oh, Baltimore

267
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: was beaten up, Atlanta's beaten up. I don't give it, damn.

268
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: I mean take advantage of it, and he did. And

269
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: you're thrown for a thousand yards basically in those two

270
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: football games. Thirty four for forty two, four hundred and

271
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: eighty one yards, that's that's Those are stupid numbers. And

272
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: then to distribute the ball like a point guard for

273
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: the second straight week, you get you know, Chase says

274
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: eight catches, one hundred and thirty two touchdowns, Boyd has

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: eight four one hundred and fifty five a career high

276
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Higgins five for ninety three and both

277
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: tip the Boyd and Joe Barrow like I wish we

278
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: got t the hundred, you know, and they were close.

279
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Would have been ninety nine yards if that one had stood,

280
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: but uh, you know it was. It was an extraordinary

281
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: performance and they were I asked him, you know about

282
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: first down. I said, you guys just shredded them on

283
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: first down. All your touchdowns, you know, from from distance

284
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: forty one sixty yard touchdown, twenty thirty two yard touchdown,

285
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: we're all in first down. And they said, you know,

286
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: playing those stoft zones like they were, we felt like

287
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: we could really attack. And you know, Atlanta had problems

288
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: obviously tackling people after the catches were made, so they

289
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: they definitely were deficient on the back end, and the

290
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: Bengals just spread them out instead. We're taking completions, and

291
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, let's be aggressive, and let's start on first down.

292
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Let's be as aggressive as we can on first down.

293
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: And they had three touchdowns on the board and the

294
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: only third down they faced was third and one where

295
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: they rushed it on that third down run for a touchdown.

296
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: And they killed them on first down, and his second

297
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: down came about. They did a decent job on second down.

298
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable to watch Joe Mixon wound up with

299
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: seventeen carries, so at the end of the day it

300
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: looked like he got the ball a lot, but really

301
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: much of that came really late. This is the second

302
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: week in a row where they basically said, you know what,

303
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: we don't really have to run that much if they

304
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: can't stop the short passing game. Agreed, you know, and

305
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: you know that short passing game in a lot of cases,

306
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: the way this offensive starts, there's almost like an extension

307
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: of the running game. And Joe had a lot of

308
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: his carries on that last drive. They started the two

309
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: yard line, they drive all the way the length of

310
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: the football field, and they take a knee inside the

311
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: five yard line down on the other end. That's a

312
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: rewarding drive, you know, and Joe's part of that, putting

313
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: them in a meat grinder, you know, running the football

314
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: when necessary to hammere it in there and keep the

315
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: clock moving and all those sorts of things. So, you know,

316
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: the epitome of a drive to close out a game

317
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: is start from your own two yard line. When they

318
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: got a great punt and then the penalty that moved

319
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: it back to the two yard line, half the distance

320
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: to the goal penalty, and to just move the football

321
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: and never give it back to the Atlanta Falcons is

322
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: just a hell of a deal. So in the second quarter,

323
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: the Falcons had a great long drive sixteen plays, thirteen

324
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: of them were runs. They also had a seventy five

325
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass. They got a field goal after a

326
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard punt return, but that was it for

327
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: their offense. Didn't score first, third, or fourth another game

328
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: with the Bengals defense does not give up a second

329
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: half touchdown, haven't allowed one yet this year. That's unbelievable.

330
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: And I don't care in the NFL if you pitch

331
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: a shoutout for an a half, for an entire half,

332
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: they pitched the second half shut out. That's good stuff,

333
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: it really is. You know, I think you know complimentary

334
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: football is the name of the game there. But when

335
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: the defense, you know, this football team. The Falcons coming

336
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: into today's game, they only had twelve three and outs

337
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: on the season, few us in the league. The Bengals

338
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: had at least three that I can recall. I'm not

339
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: sure if there was a fourth in there or not,

340
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: but you know, that's an average of two three and

341
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: outs for getting the Bengals exceeded that and it's not

342
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: like there were a ton of possessions. You know, during

343
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: the course of the football game, Atlanta punted a ton.

344
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean they had to punt it like six times.

345
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals only punted a couple of times.

346
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: That tells you how effective they were. But then against

347
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: the Saints, they've scored five of their last six drives,

348
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: and the first four drives in the first half today

349
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: they score touchdowns. I mean nine out of ten drives.

350
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: You're scoring points. That's hard to do in this league.

351
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: And it's a heck of an accomplishment. You take a

352
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: bowl of that one. The vibe I got from the

353
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: players I talked to in the locker room after the

354
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: game was this is what we should be doing. We

355
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: put it together, start to finish for the first time

356
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, and I think, uh, you know, after

357
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: the after the Saints game, you heard guys in the

358
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: locker room saying, I think we're finding our identity. And

359
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: then you know, during the course of the week, more

360
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: and more guys weren't you know, we know what we

361
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: are about now offensively again, and and we're finding a

362
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: good identity. They are who do you stop? I mean,

363
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: it is unbelievable, and all the receivers went off. But

364
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: then hayden Hurst continues to just show so much toughness

365
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: after catch. He's becoming a very quick fan favorite, you know,

366
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: because of that physicality and the you know, I'm gonna

367
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get the extra inch,

368
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: to make sure that I maximize every opportunity. And the

369
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: fan base is already uh embracing hayden Hurst, no question.

370
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Six sketches for hayden Hurst in the game. Defensively at

371
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: King Davis, Gaither stepped in, got most of the snaps

372
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: that Logan Wilson would have normally had a linebacker led

373
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: the team and tackles. Yeah, he did exactly what he

374
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: should do. Um. And you know against a running team, UM,

375
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, defensive lineman, the main responsibilities keep the linebackers free, Uh,

376
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: don't let don't let guys come off on double teams

377
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: and allow the linebacker to scrape and to scrape at

378
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: a very tight angle and uh and make plays coming downhill.

379
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: And they did a great job of that. And I

380
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: thought to fell played pretty well. Second game in a row,

381
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: second game in a row. He's got he's got some

382
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: quickness to him. I mean he had a couple of

383
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: moves inside, like pass rush moves in a rundown distance

384
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: where he was penetrating and he's a handful in there.

385
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's welcoming this opportunity to get a

386
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: chance to play in the National Football League and he's

387
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: maximizing it. That that's what you want out of your

388
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: depth players. It's like, be ready and if the starter

389
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: goes down, we don't want a big drop off. You know,

390
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: we're not saying that you. We expect you to perform

391
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: equal to the starter. He's a starter for a reason.

392
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: But we don't expect to fall off the face of

393
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: the earth with your performance either. You made the football

394
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: team for a reason, you're a good football player. Step

395
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: up and play like it. And guys are doing that.

396
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Not quite as big as his fellow Siman don't Peco,

397
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: but big from the way down and hard to to

398
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: move off the point you're right, and got that big,

399
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: thick lower body, man. You know those those legs in

400
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the in the buttocks when they hunker down, man, it's

401
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, they can anchor. They've got anchor ability.

402
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a big anchor. It's an anchor

403
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: off the Titanic. When the anchor man, it's hard to

404
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: get those guys. It's hard to move him out of gaps,

405
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: you know. But but along with that, when he does

406
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: that swim move, you know, as an offensive lineman, it's like, hey,

407
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I gotta come off the ball and this guy. So

408
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: now you start coming off the ball. And then as

409
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: soon as he gets he has a feel that you're

410
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: really overextended to come off the ball to try to

411
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: get in, he'll give you that little swim move and

412
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: you're often space, you're fliling away. Those guys are a load, man,

413
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: They're hard to handle. So the Bengals have played on

414
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Thursday night, They've played on Sunday night. Now they'll play

415
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: on Monday night next week on the road Monday in Cleveland.

416
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: The Browns still during the phase of the season where

417
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: they won't have Deshaun Watson Jacobi Prisette at quarterback. He's

418
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: been okay, but obviously it's a Brown's team that's led

419
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 1: by a tremendous offensive line and running game led by

420
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. Yeah, in the in the running game, it's

421
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: number one in the league, and it's more of your

422
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: conventional traditional running game. You know, they've got a two

423
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: headed monster at the at the running back position. But

424
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Chubb leads the league and coming into today this weekend's

425
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: activity in terms of carries and yards and yards per

426
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: attempt based on you know, fifty carries and more or

427
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Uh, non quarterback who might

428
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: have a better average per carry. But also I think

429
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: he had seven rushing touchdowns coming into this weekend's activity,

430
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: which also leads the league. So there that that is,

431
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: you got to be able to stop that running game

432
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: because they they'll play action off of that. And uh,

433
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette is a veteran guy who normally takes care

434
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: of the football, doesn't make mistakes, and um, they're they're

435
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: gonna wait for you to make one and capitalize. They've

436
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: they've done a pretty good job. So it's going to

437
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: be tough up there. It always is. The Battle of

438
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Ohio is real. That fan base. Uh, you know, Cincinnati

439
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: fans love to get after Cleveland. Cleveland loves to get

440
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: after Cincinnati. It's a it's a big division rival. Going

441
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: back to the man who founded both football teams, the

442
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: legendary Paul Brown and it will always be that way.

443
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: You know, Brown's week is always a week. I can

444
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: remember that so vividly as a player. And Mike McCormick,

445
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: the great offensive lineman for Paul Brown up there in Cleveland,

446
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: and he was a head coach in the NFL at

447
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: a few places. He was one of my offensive line coaches.

448
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: And whenever we would play to Cleveland, Brown's, boy, would

449
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: he get up in the bid. He was one of

450
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: Paul's captains, and he'd be like, man, then what's the

451
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: color of horse? Brown? Brown? Brown? The Bengals Booth Podcast

Speaker 1: up where you're a country kid or a city kid?

461
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: More a country of anything. I stay. I used to

462
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: get stayed with my grandmother, so we stayed out in

463
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: a trailer where I mostly grew up through kindergarten through

464
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: maybe sixth grade. So it was a lot of fun,

465
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: especially just been out there in the woodness and the forest,

466
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: just going to like have fun out there. Honestly, just

467
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: playing in the woods. He wouldn't say that would be

468
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: a fun thing for a kid to do or where

469
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: to be, but that's what fun was to me. Montgomery

470
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: has been called the birthplace of the Civil Rights movement.

471
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: I know there's a Rosa Parks Museum there. Is that

472
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: a great point of pride for people from Montgomery most definitely,

473
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: especially with the history down there, and you also have

474
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: the Mordel of the Key Church right there close by

475
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: the capital downtown and it's very unique and just the

476
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: history down there, you guys, everybody knows about it, and

477
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: just to be from there, that's the first thing. People

478
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, ask me, have you been there? Have you

479
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: seen this? And seen that? Yes? I have mean this.

480
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: It was a great joy for me to go because

481
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I learned a lot, and especially about where I'm from.

482
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: We're visiting the cam Taylor Brett. You're obviously a great

483
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: athlete growing up, but it wasn't always easy. You had

484
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: serious knee injuries back to back years in high school.

485
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 1: Describe what happened. So, I was playing quarterback back at

486
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: Private High School a sophomore year, third game of the season,

487
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: it kind of just popped popped out of place. And

488
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: it did it two times previous before that, but I

489
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: was been a tough guy, kind of popped it back

490
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: in and that third time basically was the charm and

491
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: it didn't go back and that's when they told me

492
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: I tore my meniscus. So I went through, you know,

493
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: the rehab process, but I was so anxious to come back,

494
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 1: and I kind of rushed things most definitely just being young,

495
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: geting ready to you know, get back out there, come back.

496
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: My junior year, I'm playing, you know, the spring game.

497
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: That's a fast. I was able to come back and

498
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: get to the season and my junior year and third

499
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: MS season again. To be honest, it was heartbreaking and

500
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: devastating just had that same injury again, but it was

501
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: worth meniscus franctre patella ACL MCL, so basically blown out

502
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: the whole knee, and that's when I kind of wast

503
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: think you know football is over for me, but my

504
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: mom was always there my a one day one she

505
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: was like God to ask you, don't don't you worry.

506
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: No one would forget about you. You know, you continue

507
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: to be you, and you know, continue to go out

508
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: there and play your hardest and you'll be just fine.

509
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: And so I really took rehab series that next year.

510
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: I kind of can't make it around the same time,

511
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: but it was very intense, you know, as far as

512
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: the rehab. I was in there five days a week,

513
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: and I would making sure that I was doing everything

514
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: possible that these people, you know, trainers told me to do,

515
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: and they worked out for the best. We're visiting with

516
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: Cam Taylor Brett. So you became a first team All

517
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: state quarterback as a high school senior once you're knee healed,

518
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: but you weren't a quarterback by choice, correct, not at all.

519
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: I've always been a team guy and that's to this day.

520
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: Whatever team needs, if I can do it, I'm doing

521
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: it to the best of my ability. And that's what

522
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: it kind of was, you know, throughout high school and

523
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: I started playing quarterback eighth grade. We had our quarterback

524
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: was too short can see over the line. So they

525
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: were like, we need somebody to play it, and you know,

526
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: I volunteered and made it happen. And that's what kind

527
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: of happened throughout high school for us to win. And

528
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: that's what I did. So you went to Nebraska and

529
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: spent four years with the corn Huskers. For people who

530
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: don't know, describe what it's like to be a Husker

531
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: in that state. Honestly, they treat you like you're an

532
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: NFL player already. And I say, that's the great thing

533
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: about Nebraska is there's nothing there far as in field

534
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: teams or anything. It's Nebraska football. And when I say,

535
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: people grow up wanted to play for the Huskers from birth.

536
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: And that's how it really isn't I didn't get that

537
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: when I first got up there until you know, I

538
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: really got around the people there, and that was the

539
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: main reason that I did go, just because how amazing

540
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: the fans were. Even before I got there, before I

541
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: even thought about signing there, they were already, you know,

542
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: just being themselves, and honestly, I wouldn't have chose anywhere else.

543
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for an emotional draft night video, and

544
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: yours was great. You're on the couch you're surrounded by

545
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: loved ones when you got the call from Zach. Taylor

546
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: described that moment and what it meant to you. I

547
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: was just in all, honestly there, I couldn't speak. I

548
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: knew I would get the call, and like I was preparing,

549
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, the night before. You know, what would I

550
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: say of this coach calls? It kind of all went

551
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: out the window with Coach Taylor call, and I was

552
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: honestly just ready to get to work, like I said,

553
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: as this opportunity. You know, a lot of people, especially

554
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 1: when I'm from them, get this opportunity. So I'm not

555
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: taking it for granted at all, and you know, basically

556
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: doing it for the ones back home. We're doing fun

557
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: facts with Cam Taylor Bread. I watched a great video

558
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: that was done when you were at Nebraska. They take

559
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: you inside your dorm room or campus apartment, whatever it was,

560
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: and on the wall he had a series of photos

561
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: of loved ones who had passed away. How HASNA shaped

562
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: you shaved me in a major way, honestly, because that's

563
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: what I do it for, like I said, for the

564
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: people who aren't here, and also for the people who

565
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: can't do it for themselves. In the hospital as far

566
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: as like you no patients, you know, kids, anybody, it's

567
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: bigger than me. And they played a huge role and

568
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: what I am today as far as just a man,

569
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: they played a huge role. Like I said, my grandmother

570
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: was up there. Her brother, which is her twin, he

571
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: was up there, and he was there early on in

572
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: my life. And I have John Neil. She's taded on

573
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: my chest actually, and that's my outhood friends. Mom and

574
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: his mom and my mom were like best friends. And

575
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: it was crazy because they looked like twins as well,

576
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: and so you know, I just really, you know, I

577
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: was looking up to them as I grew up, and

578
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: they showed me the way, you know, to be me

579
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: and I appreciate them more than ever. You legally changed

580
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: your last name a few years ago and added Brett,

581
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: so typhonated Taylor Brett to honor your stepfather. I was

582
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: raised by his stepfather. Why did you feel that was

583
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: important to him? Honestly because he stepped in and did

584
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: everything the right way and showed me the right way

585
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: to a lot of things. I was I want to

586
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: say I was a trouble kid at all, but I

587
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: didn't have you know, anger issues, or something like that.

588
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: You could say where you know, they used to call

589
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: me besmode. I would get mad and I would just

590
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: have a touchdown and really just turn around and run

591
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: somebody over just to go and do that. And you know,

592
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: he just talked me a lot of ways about life

593
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: and just the seriousness of certain situations, like just watching

594
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: my surroundings. I would have never known that, honestly. You know,

595
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: anywhere I go, I'm peeping the scene. And that was

596
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: one thing that you gotta taught me, you know, just

597
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: reading people as well. And you know, I appreciate him

598
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: more than ever as well, because you know, I didn't

599
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: have my you know, biological father at home, so just

600
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: to have that father figure at home or you know

601
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: it really you know, helped me out in a major way.

602
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: A few wild card topics. Now for cam Taylor, Brent,

603
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: do you have any hidden talents? I don't know if

604
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: it's hidden. I like two k I say this in

605
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: all my interviews, but I might have to go on

606
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: Twitch just to show the fans and everybody. But yeah,

607
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of my hobby. Honestly. If I'm not

608
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: watching film or in the stadium or anything, I'm on

609
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: the game, playing two K with you know, some of

610
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: my teammates, and so I don't get away from those

611
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: guys even at home. So that's that's about it. I

612
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: could sing just a little bit. And I grew up

613
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: in the church. If I didn't sing in the choir, Manana,

614
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, she wouldn't have it. You're getting in the choir.

615
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: So that's how it was from me growing up. Do

616
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: you want to give us an example. I'll think about

617
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: another time. Pharrendoff. Who is your all time favorite athlete

618
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: in any sport and why? Lebron James and I kind

619
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: of looked up to him my whole life, just the

620
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: way he handles life itself. You don't hear anything bad

621
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: about Lebron. And he has a beautiful, happy family, which

622
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: he shows off all the time. He's always been a

623
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: team player. He's a leader, and that's what you know,

624
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: I want to be, you know, and I try to be.

625
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: I see, he's very vocal. They just came out with

626
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: the Radeem team on Netflix. I sat there and watched

627
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: the whole thing from beginning to end. May go watch

628
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: it again tonight, just because the impact that he had

629
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: on the team, especially you know him and Kobe Bryant,

630
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: and for Kobe to say, you know, and to speak

631
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: to speak on Lebron as highly as he did, I

632
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: see that I have a good role model. And you

633
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: know that's that's basically lived last thing. And this is

634
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: kind of deep. If you could meet anybody in history, athlete, actor, statesman,

635
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: whoever it might be, who would that person be. Maybe

636
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali. And I say that just because we've watched

637
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: multiple videos of him, good and bad, you know, but

638
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: he always has that same attitude and it doesn't change

639
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: whether he's in a fight or whether he's basically sitting

640
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: right here with us. It doesn't change. And I love

641
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: that about him. Man. It's crazy to me like that

642
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: I can't even speak to him, you know. But if

643
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity, man, I really feels a million dollars.

644
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: If I had a million dollars right here and Muhammad Ali,

645
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: I almost definitely picked the conversation with Muhammad Ali and

646
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: just the knowledge you know that you can get from

647
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: him that could change your life the original GEO. E Yes, sir,

648
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: this has been great. I really appreciate your time. Best

649
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: of luck the rest of the year. Thank you, sir.
