16
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: It's Sunday at the Masters, a tradition unlike any other.

17
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: I love everything about the Masters, and I enjoyed watching

18
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson win his first Green jacket over the weekend

19
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: The only downside of watching the tournament in November is

20
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: that it gave me an overwhelming desire to golf. Just

21
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: as the weather in the North is getting too cold

22
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: to tee it up, I'll just have to crank up

23
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: this theme music and dream of spring. Now, let's get

24
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: to Sunday's game. For the Bengals to upset the NFL's

25
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: last undefeated team, they were going to have to play

26
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: with minimal mistakes. Unfortunately, they dropped the ball literally and

27
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: figuratively less than two minutes into the game. The Australians

28
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: punt is a line drive. Alex Ericson catches with a

29
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: chance to run it back from the nineteen up the

30
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: middle of the field of the thirty and he'll be

31
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: knocked four. The all pops out near the thirty three

32
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: yard line. The Steelers are celebrating, no signal from the

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: officials yet as the tug of war goes on at

34
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: the bottom of the pile. The Steelers came away with

35
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the ball at the Cincinnati thirty two, and even though

36
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: they didn't pick up a first down, a Chris Boswell

37
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: field goal gave Pittsburgh a three nothing lead. It was

38
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: that kind of day and here's Zach Taylor. We were

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: not good enough in any area today, offense, defense, special teams,

40
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: and we really weren't good enough coaching, and that is

41
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: with me. One. I feel like I let these guys

42
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: down today, So it all starts with me. The Bengals

43
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: could not pick up a first down on their first

44
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: three possessions, and the Steelers took advantage of getting the

45
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: ball five times in the first quarter. First, another field

46
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: goal made it six nothing, and then Ben Roethlisberger struck

47
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: first and ten at the Cincinnati twelve yard line, empty backfield,

48
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: five receivers for Big Bend. Who catches the shotgun snap,

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: quick pass cat touchdown. Beante Johnson was on the receiving end,

50
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and it was twelve nothing. After the Steelers failed on

51
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: a two point conversion try. The Bengals finally picked up

52
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: a first down with about a minute to go in

53
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: the first quarter, but on the very next play, first

54
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: and ten, Bengals at their own forty five, Steelers moving

55
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: around on defense. Here comes the shotgun snap and a

56
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: quick throw caught over the middle by t Higgins. Oh

57
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Balls ripped out and the Steelers recover ten yards down field. Unbelievable,

58
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: secure the ball. After one quarter, the Bengals had two

59
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: turnovers and one first down, but they came to life

60
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: on their first drive of the second quarter. From the

61
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: twenty four, Burrow looking to throw, He's going to finding

62
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: a deep T Higgins wide open at the fifty catches

63
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: near the sideline thirty twenty five and tackled out of

64
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: bounds after a huge gain by Minca Fitzpatrick, a Fay

65
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: blown coverage. Very uncharacteristic for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That fifty

66
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: four yard pass was the big play on a ninety

67
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: yard touchdown drive that ended with a gutsy call. The

68
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: Bengals are an absurd twelve or thirteen on fourth down

69
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: conversions this year, and they are going to go for

70
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: it on fourth and goal from the two yard line.

71
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: They spread out empty backfield, five wides, three left, two right,

72
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: Burrow standing at the seven catches, the shotgun snap throw

73
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: left car touchdown T Higgins, who dunks the football over

74
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: the goal post as the Bengals score on fourth and

75
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: goal from the two. Higgins had a big day, overcoming

76
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: the fumble to finish with a career high seven catches

77
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifteen yards. His second one hundred

78
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: yard receiving performance of the season. I haven't fumbled in

79
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: who knows when, and it really got to me and

80
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the guys just like, keep your head up, stay stay positive,

81
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: and it's gonna come. And sure enough, Nick Series you know,

82
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: made the big played in a squat to touchdown. The

83
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: Bengals were back in it, trailing twelve seven, but not

84
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: for long, as Pittsburgh answered with a seventy eight yards

85
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: scoring drive. Roethlisberger ready for the shotgun snap, tightly bunched formation,

86
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: He's back to throw, blitz coming. Roethlisberger throws touchdown. Pittsburgh

87
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: shoot Juice Smith Schuster in the back of the end

88
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: zone as Roethlisberger saw the rush closing in, inched up

89
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: just a bit and delivered a strike that made it

90
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seven, and after a Bengals punt, the Steelers added

91
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: another field goal to make it twenty two seven with

92
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: one forty eight left in the half. That gave Joe

93
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Burrow enough time to run the hurry up and he

94
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: completed four straight passes to drive to the Pittsburgh thirty

95
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: five From here, it would be a fifty three yard

96
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: field goal, so the Bengals would love to get about

97
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: ten more yards for Randy Bullock. They trailed twenty two seven,

98
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine seconds left and a half empty backfield for Burrow.

99
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: Extends the hands, catches the shotgun snap, he's back to throw,

100
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: He's in trouble and he's sacked by what back at

101
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: the forty eight yard line. That took the Bengals out

102
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: of field goal range, and a couple of plays later,

103
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Burrow got pushed out of bounds by Bud Dupree and

104
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: went flying into the bench, twisting his ankle in the process.

105
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't a hit or anything. He might

106
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: have pushed me a little late, but it wasn't a hit.

107
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: I just, you know, he gave me a little extra

108
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: boost and I ended up rolling my ankle on the sideline.

109
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Were you still feeling it in the second half? There

110
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: doesn't matter? Perhaps not, But after throwing for one hundred

111
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: eighty nine yards with a passer rating of one hundred

112
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: point two in the first half, Burrow went five for

113
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: fifteen in the second half for twenty four yards. Furthermore,

114
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: the Bengals finished the game oh for thirteen on third

115
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: down conversions. I just played terrible in this second half.

116
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, we missed a lot of throws and that

117
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: I usually make. Um, No, that's that was the game.

118
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: You know I missed. I miss a lot of those

119
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: in the second half. For thirteen on third down. I

120
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: think it might have been thirteen something like that. Obviously,

121
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: that's that's not gonna win your football games. What was

122
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the biggest reason in your mind that it worked out

123
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: that way? I missed throws? Um, that's all came down too.

124
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm You're not gonna be able to win

125
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: football games against a team like the Steelers, as good

126
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: as they are when your quarterback plays like I did

127
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: in the second half. Pittsburgh's quarterback, on the other hand,

128
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: did not struggle in the second half. He's thrown for

129
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety four yards and two touchdowns. He catches

130
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the shotgun snap pump fakes, throws it into the end

131
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: zone in traffic, caught for a touchdown by Chase Claypool.

132
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Big Ben as ready play clock at two, catches the

133
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: shotgun snap quick throw, caught touchdown Claypool with his second

134
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: touchdown catch of the game, touchdown pass number four four,

135
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Big bad Boy. It almost looks like, you know, we've

136
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: seen this movie before. It's a horror movie that Bengals

137
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: fans have been forced to watch for seventeen years. Ben

138
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger through for three hundred thirty three yards with four

139
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns and no picks as the Steelers improved to twenty

140
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: six and seven. In the games that Big Ben has

141
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: started against Cincinnati, here's Sam Hubbard's great Claire, and he's

142
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Big Ben for a reason. And he knew what he

143
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: wanted to do and where he was going with the ball,

144
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: and they had a good plan and he made a

145
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: lot of great throws and good decisions. Although the Bengals

146
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: were behind thirty six to seven in the fourth quarter,

147
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: Burrow kept playing despite the twisted ankle. Zach Taylor was

148
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: asked about it after the game, like, what was the

149
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: thought process leaving Joe in that last drive he took

150
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: a couple of hits, you're down, you know, thirty six

151
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: to seven or whatever? Did you think about taking him out?

152
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, we tried to manage it some with the runs.

153
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: We wanted to get some points, get some momentum going,

154
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, to be honest with you, and and just

155
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: we left him in their and Burrow was happy they did. Yeah,

156
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm not not a quitter. I'm not going out of

157
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: the game. No, it doesn't matter if we're down one hundred,

158
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: down ten, down twenty, I'm not going out. A thirty

159
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: nine yard run on a fake punt by Sean Williams

160
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: helped the Bengals tack on a late field goal to

161
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: make the final score thirty six to ten. They're eleventh

162
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: consecutive loss to Pittsburgh. Here are Zach Taylor, Joe Burrow,

163
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: and Sam Hubbard. We don't overreact to this. It was

164
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: not our best performance. We went on the road. We

165
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: didn't really win in any phase, any statistical category in

166
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: terms of the turnovers, the penalties, the exposive players, we

167
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: didn't win any of them. And so you go on

168
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: the road, there's no way you're gonna win a football

169
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: game doing that way against a good football team. And

170
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: so we know what the reasons were. We know that

171
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: we could have played better, and we got to put

172
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: this game behind us quite frankly, move on, you know.

173
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: And that's the biggest key, because we still got seven

174
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: games left, a big one next week at Washington. We

175
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: can't let Pittsburgh beat us twice. That's the biggest key.

176
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: And again It's disappointing because this is how we thought

177
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna come out and play, but it's what happened,

178
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: and so we just got to take it like a

179
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: man and move on and and go focus on the

180
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: next game. It's never good to lose like this, but

181
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: it's always a good learning experience. Um, you know, I

182
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: told I was talking to the sideline. Uh, you know,

183
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: I think we're we're in that game if if I

184
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: don't suck in the second half, and I'm not gonna

185
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: suck a lot. So We're gonna come back to work

186
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: every day, and I'm excited to go go back to

187
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: practice on on Tuesday or on Wednesday and stuck getting

188
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: these kinks worked out and move on to Washington. Yeah,

189
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: I think we got a great locker room. We gotta

190
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that you know, are gonna

191
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: feel the pain of this loss, and we're gonna come

192
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: right back and go to work and try and go

193
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: on a run here these last seven games. Um, you know,

194
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: I definitely want to be a leader, but like I said,

195
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: we got a good locker room with a lot of

196
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: good guys, and you know, we want to We're doing

197
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: things the right way. We're we're getting better and we're

198
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: just gonna keep climbing up. Next a road game against

199
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the Washington football team, who fell to two and seven

200
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: with a three point loss in Detroit as the Lions

201
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: kicked a fifty nine yard field goal as time expired.

202
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: But it was quite a day for Alex Smith, who

203
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: has come back from his gruesome leg injury that required

204
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: seventeen surgeries to regain the starting quarterback job in Washington.

205
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: He threw for a career high three hundred ninety yards

206
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: in Sunday's loss. Remarkable. Now time for postgame analysis from

207
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: Dave Lapham Lap. The Bengals did not play well, that

208
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: was obvious, but right now the two teams are not competitive.

209
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: The Bengals have been outscored sixty three to ten in

210
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: their two games against Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Absolutely. I mean,

211
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: if it's a litmus test, it's shown they're not ready

212
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: measuring stick. They're way down the bottom of the measuring stick.

213
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: So they have miles to go before they rest. And

214
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: the disappointing thing, and this one was they were understaffed

215
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: by coaches. You know, not having when you don't have

216
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: all those eyes that are eliminated. I mean, the more

217
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: feedback you get, the better off you are. When guys

218
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: kind of the sideline, they're used to talking to a

219
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: particular coach and getting feedback and then I'm not. These

220
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: aren't excuses, these are facts. That was different. But it's

221
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen era, so that's the different part of it.

222
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: There are players that are affected by COVID nineteen. They're

223
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, guys brought off the practice squad. It's they were.

224
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: They were undermanned theoretically at the tackle position, at the

225
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: cornerback position. I thought the tackle stepped up and played well.

226
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: Two guys that I thought I Dentergy showed himself well.

227
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I think he belongs. Spain has been in the league

228
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: six years. We already know he belongs. So I thought

229
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: those two guys I quitted themselves well. On the back end,

230
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: I think they had their issues. And there's no question

231
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: about it. But you know, special teams didn't play well.

232
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: Offense didn't play well. Defense didn't play well. You go

233
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: over thirteen on third down, third downs, the money down,

234
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: they were bankrupt at every position there was Offensively, they

235
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: made no money. I mean they were broke. They were

236
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: turning their pockets inside out. Nothing fell out, So they

237
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: gotta get that rectified. Fourth down obviously, use their money down,

238
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: that's the down. They're thirteen out of fourteen now and

239
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: they scored on more than one fourth down. Maybe they

240
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: should forget about third down, go right to fourth. It's crazy,

241
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: but this was There's not very much positive you can

242
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: take out of a performance that took place today. You know,

243
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: you fall behind too early in the turnover department, you

244
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: have penalties, you have turnovers, you don't convert one conversion

245
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: on third down. I mean, you're not gonna win a

246
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: football game and you're gonna be blown out by a

247
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: good team like they did. Zach Taylor used the term

248
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: I blame myself, it's my fault, something along those lines

249
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: several times in his postgame news cop. Do you think

250
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: he's specifically blaming himself for his play calling on third down?

251
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Do you think that was the biggest thing about his

252
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: own performance that he was self critical of. I think

253
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: he was self critical of everything, and uh, like a

254
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: good quarterback like he was, he's accepting all the blame

255
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: and deflecting all the credit, you know. And uh, because

256
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: he said, you know, we took a sack in a

257
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: two minute Drow that was I shouldn't have called that play.

258
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: That's on me, you know, so I think I think

259
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: situational stuff. I think he was probably disappointed in the

260
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: calls that were made in hindsight when he's able to

261
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: go back over them. But they just, uh, there was

262
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: just a lack of lack of execution. Um. You know,

263
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow makes uh makes the throw um, you know

264
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: many times down the sideline. That would have been a big,

265
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: big play, could have been another you know, thirty five

266
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: forty yard player to add to the add to the

267
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: yards of te Higgins and doesn't happen. So and Joe,

268
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow himself said he played pretty well in the

269
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: first half, but in the second half he just said,

270
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: I just didn't throw it well. I didn't play well.

271
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I missed too many throws. I missed throws that I've made,

272
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, over and over again. Tee Higgins said that

273
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: he and Joe on that play that he overthrew, had

274
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, worked and repped in practice more than one

275
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: time and done it successfully. And you know, sometimes you

276
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: have a stinker, and they had a full fledged stinker.

277
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: I did like the fact that. Joe Burrow said afterward,

278
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: I won't suck like that very often, which I found amusing.

279
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: He was twenty one for forty two hundred and thirteen yards,

280
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: one touchdown, no interception. Do you have any issue with

281
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: him staying in the game at the end of the game,

282
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, I guess to me, it looks like when

283
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: a guy's limping, you know. But Joe, Joe obviously convinced

284
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: everybody that he was okay to go, particularly the medical staff.

285
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Do you think it was brought up. I think I

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: think it was probably brought up. Yeah, And to me,

287
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Paul Sparrowing, he made he errs on the side of

288
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: caution all the time, so they must have done a

289
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: quick examination. Joe said it was a minor you know,

290
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: roll the ankle or twisted the ankle. Obviously he wanted

291
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: to be in there and finish it. He just his

292
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: whole thing. And the you know in the zoom call

293
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: after the game is I'm not a quitter. I don't quit.

294
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: He didn't want to go out under those circumstances take

295
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: him out of a game like they took Ben out

296
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: and Mason Rudolph finished. And he do that all day

297
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: every day. He didn't want to go out in a

298
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: situation feel like he's deserting his guys, and uh, and

299
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: give give the ar or the impression of quitting. So

300
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: I guess, uh, you know, I guess that that ruled

301
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: the day. And then you know, Zach said, they're still

302
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: trying to score points and trying to create momentum, and um,

303
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just the one. The biggest thing

304
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: that I took out of Zach's talk after the game

305
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: was a good point. Don't let the Pittsburgh steal his

306
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: beat you twice. Make sure you pay attention to things

307
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you did wrong. And that's going to be a litney.

308
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a long, long, legal sized pad list.

309
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: But make corrections and then get ready for the Washington Redskins,

310
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: because that defensive football team is pretty damn good. And

311
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Alex Smith let it up, he's a great store. Um,

312
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, you can't you can't assume we're gonna

313
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna go to Washington beat the Redskins. Man,

314
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: you gotta go play Washington football team. I keep saying, Redskins,

315
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: you have the football team, gotta go, gotta go to

316
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: Washington and uh, and win and beat that football team. Uh.

317
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: You just you can't make assumptions, you know. I mean,

318
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: who who the Bengals to make an assumption like that anyway,

319
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: So you gotta make sure you get that out of

320
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: your head. Uh. It's like, okay, now now we start

321
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: to get don't you think that other teams in the league,

322
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: like the Washington and others, are saying, here, come to Bengals,

323
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: that's a win, that's a w I mean really honestly,

324
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's saying, let's schedule them for homecoming where

325
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: here it is, let's let's get after the Bengals. So

326
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: you don't make any assumptions like that. You just gotta

327
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: go back to square one, work prepare. Hopefully you have

328
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: all your coaches back. Um. You know, um, anybody that

329
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: tested positives out ten days. Anybody that is contact tracings

330
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: out five, So you gotta figure Golden and Duffner would

331
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: only be five days. But I mean, those guys, how

332
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: about that situation. You know, they traveled. Bob mcdell didn't travel,

333
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: but those guys traveled, and they're in rental cars driving

334
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: back in the afternoon before the football game, getting back

335
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, so they can watch as much as they

336
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: can on TV and before they study taping everything. I mean,

337
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: that's a that's a crazy dynamic. Only in the year

338
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Pittsburgh finished with nine quarterback hits and four sacks.

339
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: That's almost exactly what they averaged per game. And obviously

340
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: they had a huge lead in the second half, which

341
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: helps you get after the quarterback. But I thought this

342
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: was interesting. It wasn't Blitzburg. They were not doing what

343
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore did. They rushed four, sometimes three, occasionally five. But

344
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: I thought that their secondary one against the Bengals wide

345
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: receivers with the exception of te Higgins. Yeah, and I

346
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: think unfortunately Hayden had another big game. Joe Hayden was

347
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: very good. He get his hands on a lot of

348
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: footballs and disrupted timing of routes and he was very good.

349
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: I do think that Baltimore. The difference between Baltimore and

350
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is Baltimore has multiple Pro Bowls on the back end,

351
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: so they feel like they can bring tons of people

352
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: and really get after the quarterback and mess him up

353
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: because they're so good in the back end. Pittsburgh is

354
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: sound solid, but their coaching staff feels like our strength

355
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: is in the front, so we're gonna rush for and

356
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: we're going to get there with those four we're gonna

357
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: keep seven back there. And that's what they did for

358
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: the most part. And like guys were saying after the game,

359
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: they don't run a ton of different coverages back there.

360
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: They have a couple of three things they do and

361
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: they know to do it very well. Every single route combination.

362
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: They get studied and they're they're tough, but they have

363
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: seven bodies back there, so they can double multiple people

364
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: if need be and still get pressure on the quarterback

365
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: with their four man rush. That's so extraordinary with wat

366
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: and Dupree. So that's the biggest difference is where the

367
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: strength those Baltimore and Pittsburgh defenses are and their coaches,

368
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, proceed accordingly with game plans that that kind

369
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: of accentuate the positives and kind of help along with

370
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: things that they're not as strong in. In a sixteen

371
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: game regular season, the Bengal special teams will outperform the

372
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: other squads special teams twelve times out of sixteen. I mean,

373
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: they usually win the special teams battle. Not on Sunday

374
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh a fumble on the first punt returned by

375
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: Alex Ericson. Then he seemed to get a little gunshy

376
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: catching punts. Two got downed inside the ten. As a result,

377
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: they gave up a forty two yard punt return. They

378
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: had the fake punt late in the game, which I

379
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: guess helps even things out a little bit, but by

380
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: and large, they got outperformed significantly in special teams. Yeah,

381
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: I think, you know, as we know Darren Simmons looks

382
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: at the average drive start and you factor in turnovers.

383
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Those are going to be short fields sometimes, and they

384
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: were a couple of turnovers were a factor in that,

385
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: but multiple times to half a dozen times. I mean

386
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: they're starting inside their twenty yard line sometimes aside their ten.

387
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's long field. They scored a touchdown

388
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: on one of those drives, you know, eight plays ninety

389
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown on fourth down, the two yard

390
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: touchdown reception that Tee Higgins had. But yeah, I think overall,

391
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: on a snap by snap basis, after having the worst

392
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: special teams game that Danny Smith and his team has

393
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: had for a long time down in Dallas, Pittsburgh was

394
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: horrible in Dallas on special teams. Dallas stayed in that

395
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: game because of special team's excellence, and that was a

396
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: big point of contention. I'm sure prepared for this game.

397
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: We got to bounce back. If we play like this

398
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, it'll be even worse. So I think,

399
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, players responded. Coach Danny Smith responded, and they

400
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: put together a pretty good game. I agree with you.

401
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I think the you know, the fake fake punt kind

402
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: of you know, it's kind of like, uh, you know,

403
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: meaningless yards or immediately stick miss picking. Yeah, exactly, but

404
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: they got to look they you know, that they were

405
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: working against and they took full advantage of it, and

406
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: Sean Williams got the big benefit from it. But yeah,

407
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: snap on a snap by snap basis, Darren Simmons is

408
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: going to be in the grill of his special teams players.

409
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: They punted the ball way too much and had some

410
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: way too many mistakes and problems and special teams pen

411
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger three hundred and thirty three passing yards, four touchdowns,

412
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: no picks, pass a rating of one ten. He improved

413
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: to twenty six and seven head to head against Cincinnati.

414
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: I said it late in the broadcast. He's thirty eight

415
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: years old, he's in his seventeenth season. If and when

416
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: he decides to retire and they have some sort of

417
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: retirement ceremony in Pittsburgh for Steelers fans, I am going

418
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I will be so happy when he has done tormenting

419
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: my teams. First of as you see three and oh

420
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: against Gino GOODOULI when Gino was great. And now, as

421
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned, twenty six and seven against the Bengals and

422
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Mike tom was twenty five and five. Come on, I mean,

423
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Ben though the state of Ohio, his record on the

424
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: road against the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals, and

425
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: while he was at Miami of Ohio had an undefeated season.

426
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ridiculous. He owns the state of Ohio.

427
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: Living in Finley, Ohio, he loves to come back home.

428
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: The whole State's is home, not just Finley, Ohio. The

429
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: state of Ohio is true comfort food for Ben Roethlisberger,

430
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: and he feasts. He has a buffet every time he's

431
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati or in Cleveland. And it is unbelievable how

432
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger has owned the Bengals during the course of

433
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: his career, it really is. Are you going to watch

434
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: that YouTube serious bigger than Ben, featuring him and his

435
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: wife about his comeback from the torn tendons in his

436
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: right elbow. I think I may have to miss that one.

437
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be musty TV in the

438
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Lapham household. I don't know how many videos there are

439
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: on YouTube, ten million, fifty million. That is the very

440
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: last thing I would watch on YouTube. It would just

441
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: make me that much angrier. I'll tell you though, to

442
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: look at how he has recovered from that type of

443
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: that's severe an injury, It's remarkable. He is a tough

444
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: son of a gun, but he definitely wants you to

445
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: know he's a tough son of a gun. He has

446
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: a drama queen as well as well as being a tough,

447
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: tough ombre. And his teammates know it. Ryan Clark with

448
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: ESPN rips him all the time. Even Mike Tomlin has

449
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: tongue and cheeked at a few times. How Ben is?

450
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: You know, Ben's Ben? The drama of Ben. Ben feeds

451
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: off of it. Ben wants to be the drama queen.

452
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: He wants the story to be you know, the John

453
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: Wayne rides off into the sunset after a rescue in

454
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: the day. That's Big Ben in a nutshell, and I

455
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: think the man is under rated. He's rarely mentioned as

456
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He's got

457
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: two Super Bowl rings, He's been to a third Super Bowl.

458
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Now he's ninth all time and eighth all time and

459
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,480

475
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: A linebacker Marcus Bailey from the Columbus suburb of Hilliard, Ohio,

476
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: about ten miles away from the Ohio State campus. Marcus,

477
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: I think most of us assume that any young football

478
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: player growing up near Columbus is obsessed with the Buckeyes.

479
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: Were you? I think you're You're right on the money there.

480
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of inevitable, Like everyone just has Ohio State

481
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: plastered everywhere. It's kind of like all you're exposed to

482
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: growing up. So, I mean, it's just you have no

483
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: choice but to be an Ohio State fan. And you know,

484
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: the fan base there is great, Like they you know,

485
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: they're really passionate about it, about their buck eyes and

486
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: about Ohio State football. So yeah, I was an Ohio

487
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: State fan growing up, but obviously that that changed, that

488
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: changed quickly once I got a guy exposed to the Boilermaker.

489
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: So was your childhood bedroom a shrine to Ohio State?

490
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: Did you dress up as Buckeyes for Halloween? How bad

491
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: was it? No, it wasn't like that. There were definitely

492
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: like at least kids and in elementary schools in central

493
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Ohio or definitely like that. But now that wasn't that

494
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: wasn't that wasn't me we I mean we watched the

495
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: games and stuff, but I wasn't like a diehard fan,

496
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: you know, you just a kind of a kind of

497
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: a fan by default. You know, we're doing fun facts

498
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: with Marcus Bailey Aside from sports, Did you have any

499
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: other interest as a kid. My first like athletic experience

500
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: at all was like with martial arts. Actually, so the

501
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: elementary squad I went to was actually in Dayton, Ohio,

502
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: and Tralwood was called Trotwood Prepp and Finnish Academy, and

503
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: every day we had like an hour of like either

504
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: gym or martial arts. It was taekwondo, and I kind

505
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: of got attached to it. Like I was only five

506
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: or six when I started, but I ended up being

507
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: really good at it, I mean it good. Ended up

508
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,679

00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: I was good with the bow staff. I did compete

512
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: with the you know that size, I was nunchucks and

513
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: then sparred. I have some trophies now I'm talking about show.

514

518
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: of like a fun fact. That's kind of how I

519
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: started my my athletic experience. So maybe it's helped me

520
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: not being a linebacker, being flexible and all that. Who knows.

521
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,080

537
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: time really there was back in twenty eighteen. I was

544
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,320

545
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,040

Speaker 1: really high energy and being passionate and building like a

552
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: genuine relationship with me as a recruit. You know, I

553
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna, you know, bring the best out

554
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: of me as a player, and uh, you know, I

555
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,120

Speaker 1: with him over over the summer, and after I got drafted,

560
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: he congratulated me, and I was able to go actually

561
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: do a couple couple of little linebacker workouts with him,

562
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, when everything was like, you know, I wasn't

Speaker 1: your life so far? Besides yeah, besides getting drafted, Yeah,

570
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: it probably is. That was definitely a highlight of my

571
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: college career, you know, getting the chance to play against

572
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: my hometown team, and all the hype that was going

573
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: into it. You know, like at this point it's for

574
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: the past two years. That's that's always that's always brought

575
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: up in everything because it was obviously such a you know,

576
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: a spectacle, But yeah, it was. It was one of

577
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: the highlights of my college career for sure. Did people

578
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: back home give you crap about it? It was mixed.

579
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: It was mixed. Yeah, it was mixed. Like it was

580
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: like kind of like, you know, they wanted Ohio State

581
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: to win, but they wanted me to do good and

582
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: say it was like, you know, it was a little

583
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: bit of nix there, Marcus. That night, much of the

584
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: nation got to know a young cancer patient and Produce

585
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: super fan named Tyler Trent, who has since passed away

586
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: at the age of twenty. What impact did Tyler have

587
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: on you? Tyler was a pivotal part to our team

588
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: that year. We were motivated by his resiliency, by his will,

589
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: by his strength, and he made the most out of

590
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: a terrible situation. And it made you have gratitude and

591
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: made you have perspective over the things that you do have.

592
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: And I realized that that, you know, things could be

593
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot worse, and someone that's in a lot worse

594
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: situation made the most out of it is doing an

595
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: amazing things. So I was definitely inspiring for our football team. Yeah,

596
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I was. I was glad to get to meet him.

597
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: You had to overcome hardship at Purdue. You tore your

598
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: ACL early in your college career, and then early in

599
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: your senior year you tour the ACL in the other knee.

600
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: At that point, you knew there was a good chance

601
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: you'd have an NFL opportunity. How devastating was it? Yeah,

602
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was super devastating because after the twenty

603
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: eighteen season, I had my stock was super high, and

604
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: I just wanted to solidify my spot as one of

605
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: the top linebackers in the country in the twenty nineteen season.

606
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: So I was super devastated after that injury happened. But

607
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: this just talking about perspective, you know what I mean.

608
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: Like I you know, it was early in the season.

609
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: I still had a chance to get rehab before for

610
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: the draft and everything, so I had to stop being

611
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: sorry for myself and just look forward at that point,

658
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,479
