00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: as we get acquainted with the newest Bengal safety, Nick Scott,

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: who signed a three year contract on Monday, reportedly for

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: twelve million dollars, I think you'll enjoy getting to know

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: him as much as I did. He wasn't the only

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: free agent to sign on Monday, as Max Sharping agreed

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: to return to Cincinnati on a one year deal. I'll

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: spend a few minutes with Mammoth Max as well. The

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: Bengals will have new starting safeties following the departures of

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: Jesse Bates and Von Bell. We'll discuss that with safety's

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: coach Rob Livingston. And then it's the fourth edition of

22
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Bengals gear at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport. If you

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: don't live in Cincinnati, you might not know that the

24
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: international airport is actually located across the river in Kentucky.

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of flying in and out of

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: CVG Airport over the years, and it wasn't too long

27
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: ago that if you stopped in the gift shop you

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: saw a bunch of Kentucky Wildcats gear, plenty of Cincinnati

29
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: red stuff, and then maybe just maybe a few items

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: with a Bengals logo. Well that's not the case anymore.

31
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm my most recent trips to the airport, I've noticed

32
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: that Bengals gear dominates. A Super Bowl appearance followed by

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: a return trip to the AFC Championship Game has electrified

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: the entire region. Here's hoping they're selling Bengals Super Bowl

35
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: Championship gear at the airport at this time next year.

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: Now let's get to my first guest. Nick Scott is

37
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: a great example of hard work paying off, the Rams

38
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: selected him with the two hundred forty third pick in

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen draft. There were only eleven picks after

40
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: him that year. After being a core special teams player

41
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: in his first two seasons, Scott became a starting safety

42
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: late in twenty twenty one due to injuries to Jordan

43
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: Fuller and Taylor rap and he took every snap in

44
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: the rams four playoff wins that year, including the Super

45
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: Bowl victory over the Bengals. That led to a starting

46
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: job last season, and Scott finished fifth on the Rams

47
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: and tackles and added two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

48
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: LA has been forced to shed payroll, trading Jalen Ramsey

49
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: and releasing Bobby Wagner, among others. And while they tried

50
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to bring Nick Scott back, he elected to sign with

51
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati instead. I talked to him on Monday, Nick, Welcome

52
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. Aside from the financial aspect, how did the

53
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Bengals make it clear to you how badly they wanted

54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: you here? Oh? I say, just by bringing me in

55
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: the building and you know, sitting me down with the

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: legend coach Lou you know, talking ball with him was

57
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: also and also coach Robbie. I mean, those guys know

58
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: their stuff, you know. So after I met them and

59
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: got a chance to meet the owner and see how

60
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: genuine he was, and and you know coach Zach Taylor

61
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I mean, just coming in the

62
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: facility and being around those guys, you know, it's pretty

63
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: clear that, you know, this organization is moving in a

64
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: great direction and I want to be part of that.

65
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: We can add the legend Coach Lou to his many nicknames.

66
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people have been referring him to

67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: as the mad Scientist for some of the things that

68
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: he's drawn up over the last couple of years. For

69
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: that stuff to work, it takes really smart players, and

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: it sounds like that's a key reason for your success. Yeah.

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, I've been blessed with my ability, and you

72
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: know the mental aspect. You know, I'm a sponge. You know,

73
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm always willing to learn and everything like that. So

74
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't consider myself necessarily a brainiact, but you know,

75
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited because I know I'll be able to get

76
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: some good information, not just from Coach Lou and Coach Rob,

77
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: but these players who have been in this system for

78
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: a while it's a real tight knit group, it's very apparent.

79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: You know, pretty much everybody in that D DV room

80
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: has already reached out to me and welcomed me as

81
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: part of the team. So, you know, I'm extremely excited

82
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: to work with that group because of how talented they are.

83
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: The Bengals have prioritized signing and drafting guys that love football,

84
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: love the grind. You were a two time captain at

85
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Penn State, you won the Sportsmanship Award in the Big Ten.

86
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Clearly it sounds like you are one of those guys.

87
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: What is it about this game that speaks to you?

88
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Just you know how competitive you have to be. You know,

89
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I was the youngest of three boys, but you know

90
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I tried every day. My heart is to be the

91
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: alpha the group, even though it didn't always work. But

92
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: just you know, having that competitive nature instilled in me,

93
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: and you know, the excitement and joy you get from

94
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: making plays and also watching your teammates make plays, there's

95
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: really nothing like it. And I also like the physical aspect.

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: I like the idea of imposing your will on somebody

97
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: else because you're allowed to. When you went to Penn State,

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: you started out as a running back. Did you embrace

99
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: that change to safety pretty quickly? Yeah, I really did. Um,

100
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, I was a running back, but you know,

101
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: it became pretty clear pretty early that that wasn't going

102
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: to be how I could best help the team. At

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: the time, I was playing special teams, so you know,

104
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I went up to my coaching and said, hey, you know,

105
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I want to be a great special teams player. I

106
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: think it'd be you know, more of my benefit if

107
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm working on tackling in that type of position every day.

108
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I'd love to move to safety and

109
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: just perfect that craft, and I was able to do that.

110
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure as a free agent, you were looking around

111
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 1: the league and trying to evaluate who had a need,

112
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: and I think most people around the league figure Jesse

113
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Bates was probably going to sign elsewhere. Von Bell was

114
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: a little bit more up in the air. But once

115
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: he did, did you say to yourself and to your agent,

116
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: I would fit in Cincinnati. Yeah. You know, I've been

117
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: talking to Cincinnati, my agent and I, you know, ever

118
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: since we could, and so there was always a little

119
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: bit of interest there. Obviously, they had to figure out

120
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do with those guys. But yeah,

121
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: This was one of the top teams on my radar

122
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: just because of you know, the location, the city, the fans,

123
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: and you know obviously what they're capable of. So yeah,

124
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: it's been a great fit so far, even though it's

125
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: only been five minutes. But I'm excited about what these

126
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: next three years are gonna hold. Looks like you will

127
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: be paired at safety with another Big ten guy and

128
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: Dax Hyler, who was a first round pick last year,

129
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: being from the Big Ten. Did you watch his games?

130
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with him? Yeah, I'm definitely familiar with him,

131
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: and you know, he's an athletic freak. I remember watching

132
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: him in a preseason game, I think his his rookie year,

133
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: and just watching him ball out and do that stuff.

134
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: I was extremely happy for him, like I am any

135
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Big ten guys, even though he went to Michigan. But

136
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: now I'm extremely excited about Dax and you know his potential,

137
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm sure I'll be able to take

138
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: them some things from his game, and I hope he,

139
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, feels free to ask me questions and to

140
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: take some stuff from my game. But I think it

141
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: will be a great little duo. We're chatting with next Scott.

142
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: You didn't overlap with Zach Taylor with the Rams, but

143
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: did you hear stuff about him from your teammates there?

144
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, people still talk about Zach tayl over there

145
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: and what he was able to do with that offense

146
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and everything like that. So you know, he left a

147
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: great mark on that organization, and you know obviously has

148
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: taken you know, what he learned and his own traits

149
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: and brought it over here and is having great success. So,

150
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: like I said, it was a no braiding for me.

151
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: You have a Super Bowl ring at the Bengals expense.

152
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: What stands out about your Super Bowl experience? The whole

153
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: week and then the game itself? Oh man, I was

154
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: just super grateful that entire week, you know, just you know,

155
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: people that know my story know that I was a

156
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: special teams guy, was drafted in the seventh round. You know,

157
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: I try my best just to work hard every day

158
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: and put myself in my teammates in a position to

159
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: be successful. And I was able to do that to

160
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: the point where my coaches and teammates trusted me being

161
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: out there as a starter. So just extremely grateful for

162
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: that experience. When loser draw you know, and that's something

163
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: I'll chaished for the rest of my life. Glad you

164
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: mentioned your journey because I read that you gave the

165
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: commencement address at your former high school, and I saw

166
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: an interview where you described your message to the students.

167
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Embrace your role, but don't settle for it. From seventh

168
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: round pick to special team's ace, to starter to highly

169
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: coveted free agent, that's somebody who embraced his role but

170
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: didn't settle for it. Now, that's that's exactly right. That's

171
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: something that I lived by, And you know, I can't

172
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: stress enough how important it is for me to help

173
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: my team be successful, regardless of the role, whether that's

174
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: starting safety, whether that's water boy, or whether that's special

175
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: team or everybody's extremely important to a team and their success.

176
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: But there's no shame in, you know, having goals and

177
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: aspirations and wanting to be greater, because if you're striving

178
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: for a greater it's only going to make you better

179
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: and the people around you better. As an NFL draft

180
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: pick and a guy who's played four years in the

181
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: league so far, you've obviously made decent money. But when

182
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: you earn that second contract, now you're in a different

183
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: tax bracket. What is the level of satisfaction for you

184
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: for having earned this? Oh man, it's a huge blessing.

185
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned tax bracket. It's even more of a blessing.

186
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: I can earn that money in Ohio versus California research.

187
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a it's a huge blessing. I'm just

188
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: so excited about. Um, you know what this can do

189
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: for my entire family. Um, you know, my family that

190
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: I grew up with as well as my own little nucleus. UM.

191
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't necessarily see that money as mine,

192
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: but more of money for my family and the community,

193
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: and you know, an opportunity to be a blessing around

194
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: with people around me. Your wife and young son are

195
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: in the room with us right now, three months old,

196
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: behaving very well. What do you enjoying about fatherhood so far?

197
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: Oh man? UM, just honestly watching you know, the mother

198
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: that my wife has grown into. He's already a fantastic mother,

199
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: so it's awesome to step in this parent role with her.

200
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: We're learning a lot about each other in that role,

201
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: and you know, just seeing Jack change every day and

202
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, one of the tougher parts as soon as

203
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: we get him locked down, he switches it up on

204
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: us and he's entering a new phase and everything like that.

205
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: But you know the best thing that we got going

206
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: right now is we're starting to get some laughs and

207
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: some chuckles out of him. So you know, my whole

208
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: day is pretty much spent around trying to get him

209
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: to laugh. Just like the name Jack or was there

210
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: added meeting behind it? Now there's added meeting. So my

211
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: actually at home, my father mostly and my mom, they

212
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: refer to me as Jack and they have since I

213
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: was a child, short for Jack Rabbit. I was a

214
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: high octane, bouncing off the walls individual, So they've been

215
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: calling me Jack and Jack Rabbit since I was a kid.

216
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: And you know, I wanted to name my son after myself,

217
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: but you also wanted him to feel like he has

218
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: his own legacy that he can lead. So we felt

219
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: like Jack was a perfect fit. Jack Rabbit's a good

220
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: description for RANGEI safety, Yeah for sure, Yeah, I definitely

221
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: got range. I'm pretty sure I still got some hops.

222
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: So that whole DV group is pretty athletic, so you

223
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be giving me a run for my money.

224
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: But hey, if we're all you know out there flying around,

225
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: jumping around, making plays. I'm excited for what we can do.

226
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: You had a forty one inch vertical at the combine.

227
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: I believe you definitely have some hops. Yeah, I got

228
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: some springs for sure. Yeah. That was obviously, you know,

229
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: a blessing to be able to have a pro day

230
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: and kind of put my name out there with some

231
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: good numbers. This is an exciting day for the Bengals

232
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: and for you and your family. Congratulations on a well

233
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: deserved opportunity in Cincinnati. Thank you so much. I'm gonna

234
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: try this out again who Day. The Bengals Booth podcast

238
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: conversation with Nick, I joined some other Bengals reporters and

239
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: talking to safety's coach Rob Livingston about the overhaul of

240
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: his position group following the departures of Jesse, Bates and

241
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Von Bell. That duo almost never came off the field

242
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: over the past five years. Jesse missed just one start

243
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: due to injury, and over the past three seasons, Vaughan

244
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: didn't miss any. Livingston says their impact will continue even

245
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: though they are no longer with the team. Yeah, I

246
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: know they left it better than they found it, and

247
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: that's not a shot at what it was before. But

248
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: that's all you can you know, in this league, in

249
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: my personal opinion, whether you're a position coach or a player,

250
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: change is going to happen, right, So when you leave

251
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: a place, if it is in better shape than it

252
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: was when you found it, that's all you can do.

253
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: For Jesse, he's a guy that came in and obviously

254
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: started as a rookie, which never happened around here at

255
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: that point. And you know, he's kind of shown hey,

256
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: if you give young players the keys to the car

257
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: and just let them go and take the good with

258
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: the bad, then they can have success. And you know,

259
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: for Vaughan, Von came in at a time when we

260
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: needed veteran leadership and kind of trudged through a really

261
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: a year and we'll see on his chest the whole time,

262
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: and you know, if you weren't on your p's and q's,

263
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: he'd beat you to work and he'd be the first

264
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: guy you see working out and he's just the grinder,

265
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the ultimate grinder. So yeah, things will be done here

266
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: for a long time. Because Vaughan and jested it that way,

267
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Livingston knows exactly what he's getting and Nick Scott. Scott's

268
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: college coach at Penn State was James Franklin, and Livingston

269
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: was on Franklin's coaching staff at Vanderbilt in two eleven,

270
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: so he has plenty of contacts on the Penn State

271
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: staff who gave him the skinny on the Bengals new safety.

272
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: I've worked all those guys, so those were easy conversations

273
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: and they all came back really the same answer. Love

274
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: the guy was a captain, great leader of phenomenal leadership ability.

275
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: You'll love him, get him any way you can. So

276
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: just the overriding like, hey, this is a great guy

277
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: from all the sources that I talked to. Was was

278
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: exciting to hear. Scott is a great athlete. Prior to

279
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: his draft he ran a four four three forty with

280
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: a forty one inch vertical leap and a ten foot

281
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: eight inch broad jump. Those are all elite measurements, but

282
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: he wasn't a high draft pick because he didn't start

283
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: until his senior year at Penn state, and he's a

284
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: bit undersized at safety, but despite being about fifteen pounds

285
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: lighter than von Bell, Scott packs a punch. You gotta

286
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: have a tone center. You gotta have somebody that can

287
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: that can you know, set the tone on early down

288
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: so to get you to these third and long so

289
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: you can have fun and do some some fun thing

290
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: on defense. So you know that is ingrained in him. Again,

291
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy who has had to earn

292
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: every inch of the NFL he's had, you know, your

293
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: seventh round pick. You're a non combine guy. Those guys

294
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: aren't supposed to make it much less make second contracts.

295
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: So I think it's the testaments to to who he is.

296
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Excuse me, what he's about the doors that he's already

297
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: he knocked down, You know, again, he shouldn't be here

298
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: into his credit he is, and that should let you

299
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: know kind of the toughness and the mental fortitude that

300
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: he has. For sure, the bengals other starting safety is

301
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: not a scrappy underdog. It's last year's first round draft

302
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: pick Dax Hill, who got snaps at a wide variety

303
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: of positions while waiting his turn as a rookie The

304
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: beauty of Dax's rookie year was that he played a

305
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: lot of spots, so you know he's seen a lot

306
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: of different things. You know, a last training camp was

307
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: what it was. Dax's a starting free safety and had

308
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: a really good camp, and you know, Jess shows up

309
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: and Jess obviously had a phenomenal years, a phenomenal player.

310
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: So we're playing in Pittsburgh. I think it was the

311
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: first third down the game, so we put Dime out there,

312
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: so Dax is out there, so unfortunately they convert it.

313
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: So for the first time in his life, he's got

314
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: to run off the field and you can just see

315
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: like the wheels turning, like okay, it's first and ten,

316
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: Like no, no no, no, dude, Like you gotta come off

317
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: like you're not out there anymore. So packages were different,

318
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean little things, And I know that sounds stupid,

319
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: but like when you go from being a full time

320
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: starter your whole life to now you're a reliever. Right

321
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: it's the bottom of the seventh, you're coming in, there's

322
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: two outs and you got to get a guy out right.

323
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a different lifestyle for for people. So

324
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, he'll admit it. I mean, there were some highs. Obviously,

325
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: the play he made at the end of the New

326
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: Orleans game was phenomenal, had some other really good plays,

327
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: and there were some lows. I mean, that is what

328
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: it is. You're a rookie, so it's a good starting point,

329
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: you know. Selfishly, I'm happy that the highs were good

330
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: and the lows were bad, so that hey, dude, I

331
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: got a chip on my shoulder and away we go.

332
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of you know, stresses and

333
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: worries in my life, and he's not one of them.

334
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: He was the first round pick for a reason, so

335
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm super excited and Livingston it's also eager to see

336
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: what Tyson Anderson can do. He was selected in the

337
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: fifth round last year but didn't play a single snap

338
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: after suffering a hamstring injury in training camp. You can

339
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 1: put yourself in issues and say, ah, that must have

340
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: sucked your whole life. You want to play in the

341
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: NFL and you get hurt like the last week of

342
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: camp and you're on ir all year. So you know,

343
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: the positive to that is he had all year to

344
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: be in meetings and it's a Wrencher year at the

345
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: end of the day, which everybody probably needs. So it's

346
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: an exciting time. Obviously, he's got to be chumping at

347
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: the bit to get going and you know, prove what

348
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: he can do and we'll be excited to have him

349
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: and everything he can do. You know, it'll be it'll

350
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: be a big year for him. Now that Orlando Brown

351
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: and Nick Scott of signed, the Bengals can look to

352
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: address other needs in free agencies, such as tight end,

353
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: running back or cornerback. The dollars obviously have to make sense,

354
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: but Livingston says getting free agents to consider Cincinnati is

355
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: no longer a challenge. All the guys to a man

356
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: that come in and say, hey, look, we look, we

357
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: see how you guys play. There's something special here. You know,

358
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: we want to be a part of it. And four

359
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: years ago it wouldn't like that. You know. Again, I

360
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: was telling somebody like, you know, we'd have a free

361
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: agent visit four years ago, and you know, I'm I'm

362
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: a college coach again, Like, hey, man, if you come here,

363
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: we can win. I promise it'll be great. It's a

364
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: great place to live. You know, players come here now

365
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, I want to be here. What do

366
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: I have to do? So I think it's it's such

367
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: a testament to the people upstairs to obviously mister Brown,

368
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: Katie and Troy, how they've kind of built this thing

369
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: with the new amenities and you look how nice the

370
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: locker room and the training room is going to be.

371
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: And I think we all realized Number nine still placed quarterback,

372
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: so that helps a lot as well. But it's just

373
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: the men in there, like, uh, you know guys nobody

374
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: talks about all right, Like like Mike Thomas. Mike Thomas

375
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: is in year eleven, kind of the same story we

376
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: talked about. You know, college free agent, second third fourth contract,

377
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl player could be the CEO of a fortune

378
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: five hundred company, could do whatever he wants. And the

379
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: dudes here every morning, like at six am, when a

380
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: smile on his face. So it's people like that that

381
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: make this thing go. The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought

386
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: Kansas City, the Bengals had three backups starting on the

387
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: offensive line, with Jackson Carmen and Hakimadenogy at the tackle

388
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: spots and Max Sharping at right guard in place of

389
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: the injured Alex Kappa. It was obviously a tough day

390
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: for the old line, as Kansas City had five sacks

391
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: and twelve quarterback hits, but it should be pointed out

392
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: that the subs were stellar the week before, allowing just

393
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: one sack and paving the way for one hundred and

394
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: seventy two rushing yards in the win at Buffalo. Max

395
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Sharping was a second round draft picked by Houston and

396
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: a three year starter for the Texans before the Bengals

397
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: signed him off of waivers just before the start of

398
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: last year. He signed a one year extension on Monday,

399
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: and I spent a few minutes with him moments after

400
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: he put pen to paper. I believe this was the

401
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: first time you were a free agent. What was the

402
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: process like for you us? You know, a little stressful,

403
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: little interesting to say the least, but you know, excited

404
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: to be back. Money is obviously a key consideration, but

405
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: did you have other priorities in mind? You know, my

406
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: family is here, with my two sisters being at Xavier

407
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: so that's always a priority of mine to be you know,

408
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: around family. It's you know, one of the biggest aspects

409
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: of my life. So it was nice that, you know,

410
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: I have family here. Obviously, a great team, great organization.

411
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Enjoyed a lot of success here last year, so just

412
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: excited to be back. All right, let's backpedal for a second.

413
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: You have two sisters at Xavier. Yes, they play lacrosse.

414
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: Lacrosse there. How did I not know this research research?

415
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah it's my wife's sisters, their sister in laws. But yes, yeah,

416
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: they are my sisters. So that's pretty cool. We're talking

417
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: to Max Sharping. You grew up in Green Bay, went

418
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: to school at Northern Illinois. This isn't too far away.

419
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Did you find kind of an immediate comfort level here? Yeah,

420
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, especially with how nice everyone is,

421
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, in the old line room and the coaches,

422
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: everybody in the locker room. You know, it was it

423
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: was immediate. You know, it's a it's a midwestern town,

424
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: you know, Midwestern field, exactly what I grew up with.

425
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: So definitely you've got here. Just before the start of

426
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: the season. You weren't here in training camp. Did you

427
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: become comfortable pretty quickly. Yeah, you know, like I said,

428
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: coaches and teammates are all great to help me out

429
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: learning a playbook and you know, getting accustomed to how

430
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: things run here. Um, so did did get comfortable very quickly?

431
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Will it be easier for you this year having the

432
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to go through OTA's training camp, etc. In terms

433
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: of your comfort level with your assignments, the playbook, frank system,

434
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: et cetera. Anytime you're in an offense for more than

435
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: a couple of months, it definitely makes it smoother. So

436
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: I'll definitely you know, pick up more nuances and you know,

437
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: dive deeper into into everything than than I got to

438
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: in the start of last year. So definitely we'll be

439
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: a nice refresher getting everything back and you know, really

440
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: really honing in on every minor little detail. We're chatting

441
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: with Max Sharping. After Alex Kappa's injury, your first three

442
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: starts as a Bengal were the three playoff games. How

443
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: challenging was that? Yeah, you know, playoff football is tough. Um,

444
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, it was great to be in a spot

445
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: where our our team was in the playoffs and you know, thankfully,

446
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, my teammates helped me while I was out there,

447
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, like you said, playoff football is

448
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: playoff football. So it's uh, it was interesting. Cloud. You know,

449
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: we got a couple of wins out there. Wish we

450
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: could have, you know, won that last one against Kansas City,

451
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, we'll we'll we'll go back for

452
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: it this year. So we're a couple of weeks into

453
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: free agency. The Bengals I think stunned a lot of

454
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: the NFL by signing the top free agent tackle on

455
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: the market in Orlando Brown. What was your reaction when

456
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: you heard that news. I mean, he's a great player,

457
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I think everyone in the league

458
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: would would like him as their left tackle. So good

459
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: good job on the Bengals, you know, going out and

460
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: getting their guy, and you know, excited to work with them.

461
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: So you were on a playoff team your first year

462
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: in Houston won a game, and now last year with

463
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati you won two games. So you've had a taste

464
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: of making it to the AFC Championship Game. Does that

465
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: what your appetite for getting back and trying to take

466
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: it one or two wins further? I mean, anytime you're

467
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: you're playing in the NFL, your ultimate goal is is

468
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: to go win the big ones. So you know, definitely

469
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: having that experience helps. And as a team, you know

470
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: we've we've shown that we can get to those points,

471
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: but well, you know, we need to prove it again

472

00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: very well, So just trying to put myself in a

480
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,639

490
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: for our fourth edition of the three round mock Draft

491
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: with an NFL expert. Here's the concept. When I attended

492
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: the NFL Combine a few weeks ago, I had the

493
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus mock Draft simulator set up on my

494
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: computer and I invited several NFL experts to make the

495
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: bank picks in the first three rounds while discussing their options.

496
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: If you've never tried a draft simulator before, it allows

497
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: you to play Bengals GM for as many rounds of

498
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: the draft as you want. The simulator begins making picks

499
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: in order, and then when it's your turn, you can

500
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: make trades or go ahead and pick. It's a good

501
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: way to get to know the players who might be

502
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: available when the Bengals around the clock in late April.

503
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Dane Brugler from The Athletic went first and chose Maryland

504
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: cornerback Deante Banks in the first round, Northwestern defensive lineman

505
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: at A Tommy wa at a bare in the second,

506
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: and Iowa tight end Sam Laporta in the third. He

507
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: received an a minus grade from Pro Football Focus. Pete

508
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: Prisco from CBS Sports chose Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid

509
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: in round one, Washington State linebacker day On Henley in

510
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: round two, and BYU offensive tackle Blake Freeland in round three.

511
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: He received a b Ryan Fowler from the Draft Network

512
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: chose Oregon State tight end Luke Musgraven round one, Syracuse

513
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: offensive tackle Matthew Bergeron in round two, and Maryland cornerback

514
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: Jakorean Bennett in round three. He received a B minus.

515
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: Now time for contestant number four. We are about to

516
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: do a three round mock draft with Charles Davis from

517
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: CBS Sports. And here's the concept I have called up

518
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: the PFF mock Draft simulator. The Bengals have the twenty

519
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: eighth pick. We're not allowed to make trades, but we

520
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: will see who gets selected with the first twenty seven picks,

521
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: and then you will be on the clock with pick

522
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: number twenty eight. So here we go. The draft has started.

523
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: These names are running off the clock very quickly. I've

524
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: got this set at a high speed. So with pick

525
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven, the Buffalo Bills just selected South Carolina cornerback

526
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: Cam Smith. The pit defensive tackle who ran the great

527
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: forty Collijah Canty went a couple of picks before that,

528
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith, who ran an unbelievable forty yard dash. The

529
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: edge rusher from Georgia went twenty fifth. So now the

530
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: Bengals are on the clock. Here are some of the

531
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: guys that are available, Charles. We've got Zay Flowers, the

532
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver from BC Deonte Banks from Maryland, a corner

533
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: that's a need for the Bengals. Andre Carter edge rusher

534
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: from Army, Dalton kincaide tight end from Utah, Anton Harrison

535
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: tackle from Oklahoma, Will McDonald edge rusher from Iowa State,

536
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Antonio Johnson safety from Texas. A at am Luke Musgrave

537
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: another of the highly rated tight ends. I'm scrolling a

538
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: little bit more so you can check out who's on

539
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: the board, all right, Okay, Well, based off of what

540
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: I've seen on the board and what I perceive is

541
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: needs go down a little bit more for me, Dan,

542
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm adding to the tight end room with Dalton kincaid

543
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: out of Utah. I've heard comparisons to Travis Kelsey. Nobody

544
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: says as good as Travis Kelsey's the best in the league.

545
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: He's the best in the league, but a great receiving

546
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: tight end because you've got a quarterback who finds anyone

547
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: who happens to be open. Chart everyone doubling your receivers

548
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: and the whole deal. Dunkin Kake could make make cave

549
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: really early. Early. With a twenty eighth pick in the

550
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three NFL Draft, Charles Davis has selected Utah

551
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: tight end Dalton Kincaid in an extremely deep tight end class,

552
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Kincaid is considered by many of the draft gurus to

553
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: be the best pass catching threat. In one game against

554
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: USC last year, he had sixteen catches for two hundred

555
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: thirty four yards. With Hayden Hurst signing with Carolina, the

556
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: Bengals obviously have a need at tight end, but Kincaid

557
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: might not be there at pick number twenty eight. Most

558
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: of the mock drafts I've looked at have Kincaid going

559
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: a few picks before Cincinnati is on the clock. Now,

560
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: let's see who Charles Davis selected in round two. All Right,

561
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: that pick is in. Now we are flying through the

562
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: second round, and we'll see who was available to the

563
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: Bengals with their late second round pick. All Right, fun

564
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: I think it's fun too. Here are the guys that

565
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: are still available for the Bengals in the second round.

566
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Andre Carter edge rusher from Army Tank, Dell speedy receiver,

567
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: great return man from Houston. Linebacker Dayon Henley from Washington

568
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: state wide receiver Josh Downs or North Carolina. Carl Brooks

569
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: edge rush from Bowling Green, Garrett Williams cornerback from Syracuse.

570
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Nick herbig edge rusher from Wisconsin. Matthew bergeron tackle from Syracuse.

571
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: Bengals might have a needed right tackle depending on the Collins.

572
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: All right, who do you want? I want? Sydney Brown safety, Illinois.

573
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: Sydney Brown Sallinois. I saw him down there. Every year

574
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: there's a guy I always call the I call always say,

575
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: the patron saint of instincts in the modern game. On

576
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: the back end, it's Tyrant Matthew. No one had better instincts.

577
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, he's that guy. And every year I look

578
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: for someone that kind of who's my Tyrant Matthew of

579
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: this year, even if you're not as quite a good player.

580
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: In recent years it's been um Antoine Winfield coming out

581
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Go into Tampa Bay, who want a Super

582
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: Bowl it's been Elijah Molden coming out going to Tennessee,

583
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: dinged up a little bit last year. Sydney Brown has

584
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: those kind of instincts playing a safety position. Pretty sure

585
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Bates isn't gonna be around correct and this kid

586
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: six interceptions last year, tackles fiercely in the run game.

587
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Sydney Brown goes back there as well and keeps increasing

588
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Because you took Das Hill last year, right,

589
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: who's the corner around in Aska, Kim Taylor Britt, Taylor Britt.

590
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: With Taylor Britt stays at corner Dax Hill, you can

591
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: play all over the place. I like Sydney Brown going in.

592
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: There's a pure safety. Keep in mind that Charles made

593
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: that pick before Von Bell left and Nick Scott signed,

594
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: so he might go in a different direction now, but

595
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: then again, maybe not. Sidney Brown ran a four four

596
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: seven forty at the combine with a forty and a

597
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: half inch vertical leap. He's number fifty seven on the

598
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: PF Top one hundred big board. Now time for charles

599
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: third and final pick. The mock draft simulator is racing

600
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: to get to the Bengals third round pick, and here

601
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: we go. Buffalo just took a Georgia safety, Christopher Smith.

602
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh Tyler Scott, the wide receiver from UC went two

603
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: picks ahead to the Dallas Cowboys. Tank Dell is still

604
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: on the board. Ye. Then we have Carl Brooks, Bowling Green,

605
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: Nick Herbig Wiscon Sam Laporta. You've already drafted a tight end.

606
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: He's from Iowa, Trevius Hodges, Tomlinson from TCU. He's a corner,

607
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: von Our chain Our Shane. I'm not sure how it's pronounced.

608
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: He's a running back. We've got Michael Wilson, a wide

609
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: receiver from Stanford. I'll scroll down a few more. See

610
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: if anybody floats your boat from the guys that are

611
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: still remaining on the PF mock Draft. I'm going to

612
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: cover myself because I think I'm gonna cover myself with

613
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: a runner for Cincinnati because not quite sure what's I

614
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: do believe this mojp Ryn's free agent. He is not

615
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: quite sure what happens with Joe Mixon because now we're

616
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: talking about a terrific football player, terrific running back. But

617
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: money's always a consideration, and there's a quarterback coming up.

618
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: It might have to get a few dollars along the way.

619
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: So I like the young man out of UAB, Dwayne McBride.

620
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: We won't see him here at the combine. I don't

621
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: believe with thing. He's got a hamstring injury, but he's

622
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: a terrific run catch it out of the backfield. I

623
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: just like the fact that you covered yourselves. Now, I

624
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: know Chris Evans doesn't want to hear that. Treb Elways

625
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear that. I get it. But with

626
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: the style of offense the Cincinnati plays, a high volume,

627
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: heavy duty runner is a good thing to have running

628
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: back to. Wayne McBride out of UAB is number eighty

629
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: on the PF Big Board after rushing for more than

630
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred yards last year. He ran for at least

631
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty in every game but one, and

632
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: finished his college career with two hundred and seventy two

633
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: yards on sixteen carries against Louisiana Tech. But one big

634
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: negative about Nickbride is that he only caught five passes

635
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: in three years at UAB. Now let's find out how

636
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: PF graded those picks. But this ends his space that

637
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: want to see if I graduated like B minus C

638
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: minus d minus. Oh the pain I'm in right now.

639
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: Oh the pain I'm in right now. I guess I

640
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: will not be invited to the PF rat party when

641
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: this thing is all over. Well, if it makes you

642
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: feel any better, I have not received a good grade

643
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: on a three round mock yet. I'm not sure what

644
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: it takes to get a good grade, since Dwayne McBride

645
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: is one of the top players that they had listed

646
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: still available. In any case, I think the Bengals would

647
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: be really happy with Kincaid and Brown are the first

648
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: two picks, no doubt about it, and I think they'd

649
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: be happy with McBride. But obviously PFF doesn't agree with me,

650
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: so I've got to go with their ranking for now.

651
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: We'll see how it all plays out. But this is

652
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: like Adam Sandler and mister Deeds who was trying to

653
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: get his card published by hall those Hallmark people. That's

654
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: a tough nut to crack. I think the PF people

655
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: are the same people. This is fine. I appreciate you

656
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: being a good sport Thanks so much, and I always

657
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: appreciate your expertise. Always great to see you. Thanks for everything.

658
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: They'll have another NFL expert mock draft next week, that's

659
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: going to do it. For this episode of the Bengals
