It's the greatest 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: thing since overly dramatic Ryder Cup commentary. The Ryder Cup 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite sporting events, and I can 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: only imagine how much pressure the golfers are under shoot. 23 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: I get jittery standing over a two foot putt with 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: a beer on the line with my buddies. Still, the 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: overly dramatic commentary during the Ryder Cup cracks me up. 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: The announcers use terms like courage and fortitude so often 27 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: that you would think the golfers were rushing into burning 28 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: buildings to save babies instead of trying to hit fairways 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: and greens. So congrats to Europe on this year's win. 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: Based on the broadcast, the golfers were roughly as heroic 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: as the Apollo eleven astronauts. Now let's get the football 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: and the radio replays from Sunday's loss at Tennessee. It 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: is a sweltering Sunday afternoon here in Nashville, Tennessee. The 34 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: temperature is expected to climb into the mid to upper 35 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: eighties today. It's going to be much hotter than that 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: on the field turf as the Bengals try to beat 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: the heat and the Tennessee Titans, and it is time 38 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: for the pigskin to fly here at Nissan Stadium. Second 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: down and one for Cincinnati at the thirty seven yard 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: line of Tennessee. Burrow stomps the right foot, catches a 41 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: chest high snap, swings it out into the flat, caught 42 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: by Chick great downfield blocking as he tight ropes the 43 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: sideline and goes out of bounds at the twenty one 44 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: of Tennessee. Here's money mack Evan McPherson looking to give 45 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati an early lead. This will be a twenty one 46 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: yard try. He hit from fifty seven in the pregame warmups. 47 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Brad Robbins, the rookie punter, will hold the placement the 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: right footed kick and the line drive boot is good, 49 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: giving Cincinnati a three to nothing lead, which is the 50 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: shotgun snap. Five man rush and Burrow gets smashed to 51 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: the ground. Oh, all five guys were getting close as 52 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: Burrow gets sacked at the thirty nine yard line. 53 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just you talk about shrinking the pocket, 54 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: I mean they just collapsed that pocket on Joe Burrow. 55 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Tannehill back to throw, flings it deep for DeAndre Hawkins 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: catches at the Bengals forty five and Cam Taylor Britt 57 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: makes the stop at the Cincinnati thirty seven. He beat 58 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Cam Taylor Britt and beat him badly. First down and 59 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: ten at the Bengals thirteen. After back to back big 60 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: passing plays, here's a short pass Westbrook at Keene toward 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: the pylon touchdown Tennessee on second and ten. It's a toss. 62 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: Sweepy bubbles the ball. It's on the ground. He picks 63 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: it up while he's running and it's going to be 64 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: a big play for the Titans. Tannehill running to block 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: for him, and Cincinnati has to chase down Taja Spears 66 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: from behind. Dax Hill able to tackle him at the 67 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: forty nine yard line. And that was a lucky play 68 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: for the Titans. No other way to describe. 69 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: It, no question. Was like he was dribbling the football, 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: dribbling the oblong ball. 71 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: Tannehill in the gun, Henry to his rights. Tannehill fakes it, No, 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: he gives it to Derrick Henry, breaks through a couple 73 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: of tackles, still running down to the ten hangling toward 74 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: the pylon, touchdown Tennessee. Twenty nine yards for Derrick Henry 75 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: as he was bouncing off Bengals like a pinball. Jeffrey 76 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: Simmons is an eligible receiver. For what it's worth, the 77 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl defensive tackle stays out there offensively. Can't rule 78 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: out the jump pass for the King. Derrick Henry Tannehill 79 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: is going to be under center. I formation backfield. Now 80 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: they shift Tannehill goes out wide to the right. Simmons 81 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: moves to the right as a wing. They're going to 82 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: direct snap it to Derrick Henry. Henry looking to pass 83 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: throws caught touchdown Tennessee. Josh Wiley with his first NFL touchdown, 84 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: burrow back to throw against the blitz pump packs gets 85 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: stripped and then falls on the ball and then somebody 86 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: jumps on top of him, and the Titans say they 87 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: have it. 88 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: They're saying, I think the official saying was down five contact. 89 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: He was down. He's down by contact. 90 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: And now they're changing the call and it is a 91 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: Titans takeaway. For the second time this year, the Bengals 92 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: failed to score a touchdown. They've scored the fewest of 93 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: any team in the NFL, and they lose in Tennessee 94 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: today by the final score of twenty seven to three. 95 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: The Bengals have scored three offensive touchdowns in four games. 96 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey scored four on Sunday 97 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: after driving seventy two yards and kicking a field goal 98 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: on their opening drive. The Bengals final seven possessions, not 99 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: including a one playnel down at the end of the half, 100 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: never even reached the titans thirty five yard line. Joe 101 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: Burrow completed twenty out of thirty passes, but he can't 102 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: extend plays due to his strained calf, and the bengals 103 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: longest passing play went for seventeen yards. Here's Zach Taylor 104 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: on his QB. 105 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: He's playing, you know, he's playing through it, but there's 106 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: still limitations he's got, certainly, and that's probably very difficult 107 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: for him. But again, he's he's getting hit, he's having 108 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 3: to move, and he's doing a great job getting up 109 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: on the next point and responding. You don't feel, you know, 110 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: sometimes quarterbacks can get rattled by that stuff. You don't 111 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 3: feel that from him at all. You feel like the 112 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: next play is gonna be successful even if he does 113 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: take a hit. So again, I don't He's fighting through 114 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 3: it and I'm proud of him for that. 115 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: Burroughs passer rating after four games is sixty nine point one. 116 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: He's averaging fewer than five yards per attempt. Frustration is growing. 117 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 4: Whenever you're one and three, you're gonna be frustrated, You're 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 4: gonna be angry, you're gonna be, you know, wanting to 119 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: win games, and we haven't been and we're not gonna 120 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 4: let anything like that, you know, come between us. That's 121 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 4: how you end up having a bad season. Sod bad 122 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: start about first quarter, so we got three more quarters 123 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 4: of the year to get through and go from there. 124 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Jabar Chase had seven catches for seventy three yards, but 125 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: t Higgins left the game early with a rib injury 126 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: and was primarily replaced by Trenton Irwin. I talked to 127 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: Trenton after the game. Tough team for the offense today, Trent, 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: you guys went down the field on the opening drive, 129 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Dowt to the three, kicked the field goal, and they 130 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: just couldn't get anything going after that. Describe just how 131 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: you guys are feeling right now. 132 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 133 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 6: We got into better on offensive, we got into better 134 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 6: all around. We got to sell ourselves love it for 135 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 6: opportunities to make players, and we got a lot to improve, 136 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 6: and that's that's why we're watched him so too. 137 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: It feels like the offense is kind of operating in 138 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: a box. Joe doesn't have his usual mobility for understandable reasons, 139 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: and opponents know it. It doesn't feel like the margin 140 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: of error is kind of small. 141 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 6: We've been playing in the pocket, you know, and he 142 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 6: can he can do anything there. I think that, you know, 143 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 6: we just got to learn from our film there. I 144 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 6: don't think there's a whole lot that I know exactly 145 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 6: went wrong right now. We looked great in the first drive. 146 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 6: I thought we were gonna be able to keep that 147 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 6: up the whole game, and we just weren't. So I 148 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 6: don't know exactly when went down that made so we couldn't, 149 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 6: But I think our one of our goals was gonna 150 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 6: be first down efficient. In that first drive, we were 151 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 6: exactly that. I don't think we got any third downs 152 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 6: except for that one on the three, So hopefully we 153 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 6: can learn from what we did there and take it 154 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 6: on to the next one. And it was a game 155 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 6: on momentum and we just never really found any of it. 156 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Seemed like in the second quarter, when the game was 157 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: still three to three, the Titans had that one good 158 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: drive and that seemed to create the momentum you're talking about. 159 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 6: They made some place, They had some dudes make some plays. 160 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 7: They got after us there. They played physical. 161 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 6: You know that that's a physical team, and you know 162 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 6: we'd probably see them again later, but it's it's one 163 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 6: of those games. We just got to let go learn 164 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 6: from it and and just come out. 165 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Fight, appreciate your time. 166 00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 6: Thank you. 167 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: Defensively, after shining on Monday Night and the win over 168 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: the Rams, the Bengals allowed the Titans to score on 169 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: five of their first six drives. Derrick Henry finished with 170 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two yards on twenty two carries, 171 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill had a passer rating of ninety eight 172 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: point eight. Here's chittabe Owuje on the play of the 173 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: defense really shut him down in the first quarter. In 174 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: the second quarter, they had that one good drive and 175 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: it seemed to swing the momentum. Is that how it 176 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: felt out there? 177 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 7: Yeah? 178 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 8: And then something different, you know where I think we're 179 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 8: still fiting on our identity. You know, we know there 180 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 8: were resilient bunch because we have the guys that have 181 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 8: done it before. 182 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 7: But every year is different. I think this year. 183 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 8: It's like momentums playing a big factor in how we play. 184 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 8: You know, one of the momentum swings. 185 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 7: Obviously the direction, it's kind of hard for us to 186 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 7: capture back. 187 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 8: So yeah, you know, they had that drive, had a 188 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 8: couple of e supposed to plays, and since that drive, 189 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 8: it became, you know, pretty ugly. You know, our rhythm 190 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 8: was all off, and you know it was embarrassment, to 191 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 8: be honest, and you know, we're sorry with the fans 192 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 8: that traveled that came and watched. But obviously, you know, 193 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 8: it hurts even more for us as you know, brothers 194 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 8: and teams have to go out there and play. But 195 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 8: you know, we we're gonna use this as a stepping 196 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 8: stone hopefully to get better to lock to lock more 197 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 8: in sc We know we're we're close, bunch. We just 198 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 8: gotta play this to the details, like back to the dog. 199 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 8: You know, the dog mentality is just football, you know, 200 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 8: like move all the distractions and just play. 201 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, got shut down Garret Kennery each of the 202 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: last two years he wound up having good numbers today. 203 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: So much of it in his case is if they 204 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: have the lead, they're gonna feed it to him and 205 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: feed it to him and sooner or later he's gonna 206 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: wear you down. 207 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, he had a good game. 208 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 8: Obviously, It's one of the top guys in the league 209 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 8: at his position and also one of the guys we're 210 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 8: focused on the most coming into this week. 211 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 7: You know, unfortunate that he was able to have a 212 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 7: great game like he did. 213 00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 8: You know, we have the guys that could stop him, 214 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 8: but he and you know, we're gonna go back and 215 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 8: look at the film and just look at the details. 216 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 8: Abous I can speak for me myself, and you know, 217 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 8: just fitting Quicker off of cracks, you know, when the 218 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 8: receiver cracks down on the safeties or niklas, you know, 219 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 8: fitting Quicker and doing stuff like that, I feel like 220 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 8: we could do a great job because you know, a 221 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 8: lot of the team are trying to get to the perimeter. 222 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 8: We're trying to get to the perimeter on these runs, 223 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 8: so we have to have an edge to the defense. 224 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 8: So I think we as a cornerback group, we've been 225 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 8: working on that and we're gonna continue to work on 226 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 8: that and hopefully, you know, everybody kind of everybody plays 227 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 8: a part in it, and we'll figure out how to 228 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 8: you know, start to limit those runs. 229 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: Your disappointment is palpable. I'm guessing that after the Monday 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: night win, you guys probably felt, all right, we've got one. Now, 231 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: let's start stacking wins. 232 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, But, like like everybody always says, the NFL is 233 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 8: never easy. You know, the other team has to chip 234 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 8: on my shoulder as well. 235 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 7: They came in here more hungry. 236 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 8: They come up with a big loss last week, and 237 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 8: I was talking to some of the players over the game. 238 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 8: They said they were on their beat all week. So 239 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 8: they responded, now start trying to respond, you know. Moving 240 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 8: forward to Arizona, you know, we have to get on 241 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 8: each other and make sure that everybody's on details and 242 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 8: just feed off each other's energy. You know, this is 243 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 8: also an early start game, you know, twelve pm, you 244 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 8: know versus Monday night when it's home game. 245 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 7: All that energy. 246 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 8: We have to find a way to find our own 247 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 8: juice and our own energy as well. So these are 248 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 8: things we're gonna be working on, you know, throughout the season, 249 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 8: and hopefully now that we identified it, kind of nip 250 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 8: it in the bud and use it to our certain. 251 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: Joe Burr's given everything he's got, but he's not running 252 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: around like he normally would. It's limiting his superpowers, so 253 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: to speak. Do you sense that it's you know, difficult 254 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: for the offense right now without Joe being able to 255 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: do some of the things he would normally do. 256 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 7: Well, you know, I don't wanna talk anything really about 257 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 7: that offense. 258 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 8: You know, I know that, you know, you know the 259 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 8: dogs that we have over there, they've been together for 260 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 8: three four years now and have been very consistent for us. 261 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 8: And I know the rhythm is gonna be found. You know, 262 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 8: there's no doubt about that. You know, that's my quarterback. 263 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 7: It was with my sheivers, tight ends, running backs, a 264 00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 7: line like. I believe in all of that. 265 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 8: So I just think that you know, the time will 266 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 8: things will come to how they're supposed to go, and 267 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 8: we know the talent we have on that side. Really 268 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 8: just focus on the leaf can focus on on defense. 269 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time. 270 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you brother. 271 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: On their final three drives of the second quarter, the 272 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: Titans had six plays of twenty or more yards and 273 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: outscored the Bengals twenty one nothing in the quarter. That's 274 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: where Dave Lapham started his postgame conversation with head coach 275 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor. 276 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't see that coming. You know, I thought 277 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 3: we thought we'd respond better, play better, coach better. So 278 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: really you can point the finger at each individual person. 279 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 3: There's certainly plenty things I could have done better to 280 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 3: get the team ready to put us in a better 281 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: position to win. And now we just gotta suck it 282 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 3: up and go on the road in Arizona and find 283 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: a way to win. 284 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: When it starts snowballing like that, I mean, how hard 285 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: is that to try to stop that snowball from coming 286 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: down the side of the mountain like that. 287 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you still believe that you can get in this thing, 288 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: and even down seventeen at halftime, We've been in that 289 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: position before, We've overcome that before. There was a lot 290 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 3: of belief in the locker room that we could do that. 291 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: You know, he had an opportunity starting the second half. 292 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: You got him in third and seventeen and got him 293 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 3: off the field, and then they got called for we 294 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: got called for penalty. 295 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 2: So that's tough. 296 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: Extends it puts points on the board, took eleven minutes 297 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 3: off the clock, and then offense, didn't you know, we 298 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: resmonded with the turnover and so you know, just just challenging. 299 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 3: They really did a great job at the time of possession. 300 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 3: They did a good job playing physical and keep enough 301 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: off balance, and we just didn't respond the right way. 302 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: Three of the four first down third down conversions that 303 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: they got would do to penalty. And it's not like 304 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: it's not like there's a ton of penalties. He came 305 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: into the game, you were tied for seventh feust and penalties, 306 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: third and penalty yards. But it's just, man, there's such 307 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 2: a painful penalty when they happen. It takes away a turnover, 308 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: takes away a sack, takes away a big play. 309 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: It is it's tough, especially when they come on third down. 310 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: And and that's that's disappointing. You know, we had one 311 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: on special teams that really flipped the field. I really 312 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 3: thought the guy that got called for the penalty US 313 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: was the guy that was going to be the receptor 314 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: of the penalty, you know, And and all of a 315 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: sudden it went the other way. So instead of the 316 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 3: ball being on the five, the balls on the forty five. 317 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: And and that's that's a challeng lenging part there in 318 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: the second half. That gave them auto momentum as well. 319 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't figure that out because they declared that it 320 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: was an illegal block by somebody covering the punt. Now 321 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: why would he be delivering a block? I mean, I 322 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: don't understand how that whole thing unfolded. 323 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: If you find out, let me know. 324 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: So you didn't get a great explanation either. No interesting, 325 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: So you've got to, like you said, you travel to Arizona. 326 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: Did the short week have any bearing on it? You 327 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: feel like the guys were rested and ready to go. 328 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: You really took care of him this week big time. 329 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 3: We've done a good job playing on short weeks. We 330 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: still went pads on Thursday and knowing it was going 331 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 3: to be a physical game, and so again I didn't 332 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 3: see any warning signs during the week. We have to 333 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: coach better. 334 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: Number one. 335 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: I've got to do a better job putting us in 336 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: position to score points. So that's a big starting point 337 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: I think with this team, and then each guy's got 338 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: to fix the things that we can control. We've got 339 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: to be better on third down on both sides of 340 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: the ball, and we've got to be more disciplined when 341 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: it comes to penalties. 342 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: How challenging is it you know, watching Joe in the pocket, 343 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: I mean, he's close to one hundred percent from when 344 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: I see but you know, when he has to try 345 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: to do something out of the pocket, pick a percentage. 346 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 2: I don't know what that percentage might be, but it's 347 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: not you know, he'll say it's not one hundred percent. 348 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: How challenging is that To try to gain plan around that. 349 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: You can't look at as a challenge. You got to 350 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: find ways to put the offense in great position to 351 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 3: go to score points. And scoring three points in the 352 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: first half is not good enough, which we've done several times. 353 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: Scoring three points in the game is not good enough. 354 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: I'm the poy caller, I'm the head coach. I've got 355 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: to do a better job of finding ways till I 356 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: was to find some rhythm. 357 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you by pay Corps, 358 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: proud to be the Bengals Official HR software provider, by 359 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: Alta Fiber future proof Fiber Internet designed to elevate your home, 360 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: business and community to a new level, and by Kettering 361 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: Health the best care for the best fans.

Now time 363 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: for the radio guys, recapla, we have just emerged from 364 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: the Bengals locker room. Disappointment and frustration is palpable as 365 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: you might expect. I think coming off the Monday night 366 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: went over the Rams, they thought they had everything going 367 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: in the right direction. But if the offense continues to 368 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: be as limited as it's been, it's going to be 369 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: hard to win games. 370 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 2: It really is. Dan. You know, you get a quarterback 371 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: that's medically limited. He's gotten it out, but like we 372 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: talked about before the game, in the pocket he's probably 373 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: close to one hundred percent, But anytime he has to 374 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: move in the pocket or get out of the pocket, 375 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: pick a percentage, he's just not there. And the other 376 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: factor is that defenses know that if he tries to 377 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: goose it down the football field, it's bothershlome to him. 378 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 2: And so their short intermediate passing game is pretty much 379 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 2: the extent of their offense, and teams are playing accordingly. 380 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's tough dynamic to game plan around 381 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 2: a little bit, but you know, they feel like they 382 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 2: can do much better than they did obviously. I mean 383 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 2: the second quarter of this foot it was just incredible. 384 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: How you know, the domination. I mean, when you when 385 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 2: your defense is struggling, the thing you need to do 386 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: offensively stay on the field. They went oh for four 387 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 2: and third down and there was no support there. I mean, 388 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: the complimentary football was non existent today, There's no question 389 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: about it. Offense couldn't get anything done. Defense was struggling, 390 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 2: was trying to, you know, ask for a life preserver, 391 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: and the offense didn't have anything to throw them. 392 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: It's a dream come true for opposing defensive coordinators because 393 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: they know Joe is not going to extend plays. He's 394 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: not going to scramble left and right if what he's 395 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: looking to do out of the pocket isn't there. The 396 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: defense has a gigantic advantage. 397 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you know that. You know you can't get 398 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: behind by two scores, three scores, four scores. If that's 399 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 2: the case, you just can't do it. It's impossible. I mean, 400 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: the only way you're going to win football games is 401 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 2: to stay stay in the football game and make it 402 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: a you know, a contested battle, and have a running 403 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: game that will support that short intermediate passing game. But 404 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: it is it's hard. I mean you're playing in a box. Basically, 405 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: you're playing in a closet. It's like you're playing in 406 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 2: the red zone or the low red zone, you know, 407 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: a lot of times. Then teams get a two or 408 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: more score lead and they play real soft, you know, 409 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: zone coverages and will let you take the underneath stuff 410 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: and then they'll rally up and make tackles. It'll pad 411 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 2: your numbers, but it's not going to win you football games. 412 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: This is a passing team, and the NFL is a 413 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: passing league. There's nobody out there that's successful and runs 414 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: it forty times a game. But Joe Mixon has been 415 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: pretty efficient this year. He averaged four point eight year 416 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: carries in this game. Do they have to run it more? 417 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to start giving it to 418 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: them twenty nine times, but it wound up being fourteen today. 419 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: Some of that's due to the fact that they were behind. 420 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah, I mean, I think, honestly, 421 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: from a game planning standpoint, when I watch a lot 422 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: of the passing attack, it's an extension on the running game. 423 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 2: It's the outside running game. I mean, they're they're running screens, 424 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: they're running swing passes, they're they're doing a lot of 425 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: you know, stuff that is almost an extension of of 426 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: of a running game as such. So I think in 427 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 2: their mind they'll probably think, like, you know, we're we're 428 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 2: kind of covering it that way. That's our that's our outside, 429 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: our outside running game. I think when they probably do 430 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 2: stats at the end of the game, they'll take those 431 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: passing yards and kind of you know, slice them and 432 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 2: dice them between. This is really a lot of these 433 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 2: are just an extension of what we're trying to get 434 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: done on the permanent or in our running game and 435 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: that and that's a problem because I mean, at some 436 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: point you have to challenge the defense. You have to 437 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 2: stretch it. You have to you know, at least make 438 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: them think that there's a chance you're going to go 439 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 2: over the top. 440 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 7: One. 441 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: The defense really won them the game on Monday night 442 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: against the Rams. The offense did not, but the defense 443 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: started in this game. Gave up a lot of big plays, 444 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: some really costly penalties. They could not make up for 445 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: the offensive struggles. 446 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: Teen plays of fifteen yards or more in the first 447 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: three football games. Tonight, they gave up seven of them 448 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 2: in one quarter in the second quarter, seven plays of 449 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: fifteen yards or more. I mean, that's that's that's getting gashed. 450 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 2: There's no no two ways about it. And I know, 451 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, sometimes it's hard to hard to stay motivated, 452 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 2: hard to keep saw on wood. You know, it's like 453 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 2: you're banging your head up against the wall. You're not 454 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 2: getting the support that you feel like you should be 455 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 2: getting or need to get. It can it can get 456 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: tough that way, But that's the way it's going to be. 457 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the way it's gonna looks like it's 458 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: going to be for a while. You just you just 459 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 2: don't know how long it is going to be that way. 460 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 2: So yeah, but they they obviously it's just it's snowballed. 461 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 2: Snowballed on them in the second quarter and the only 462 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: reason that it didn't continue is halftime game. 463 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: There are two games away from the by a road 464 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: game against Arizona, a home game against Seattle. Is it 465 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: the strategy basically, see if you can cut out a 466 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: couple of wins like you did against the Rams, and 467 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: hope and pray that Burrow's calf makes, you know, dramatic 468 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: improvement during the bye. 469 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: Is that it? I guess that's it sounds like that's it. 470 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 2: I will say that the opponent that's spanked the Bengals 471 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 2: twenty seven to three. The Tennessee Titans lost in Cleveland 472 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: by the exact same score the week before, and they 473 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 2: reversed it. They made restitution, they did something differently, but 474 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: they came home. They were on the road and came home. 475 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: The Bengals get spanked on the road and they're still 476 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: on the road going to Arizona. It does make a difference, 477 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: there's no question about it. But there's no substitute for 478 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: getting back and sticking your nose on the grindstone, because 479 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 2: that's what you have to do. I mean, you can 480 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: talk about things all you want, talks cheap. You got 481 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 2: to go to work. You know, there's no answers that 482 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 2: you can come up with just by conversing. You to 483 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 2: go out and put in the time, put in the snaps, 484 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: put in the reps, the time on task, and everybody 485 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: just has to get better. That's the bottom line. 486 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: How hard would it be to pass block right now 487 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: with a compromise Joe Burrow frequently playing from behind, it. 488 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: Would be difficult. But the thing that the advantage or 489 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: the one thing that is in your favor, they're getting 490 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: the rid of the ball. So quickly. I mean it's 491 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: it's almost like a three step drop almost every time 492 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: he throws the football because he's in the shotgun and 493 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 2: he's getting it out. But you know, if you do 494 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: a decent enough job when I'm just rushing four men, 495 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: everybody's bringing pressure now too, and uh, you know they're 496 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 2: bringing a lot of times, maybe one more than you 497 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 2: can block, and that becomes an issue. So there's there 498 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 2: are solutions. But but the thing number one thing you 499 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 2: have to do is on a snap by snap basis 500 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: execute better. I mean, they weren't in third and miserable 501 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 2: situations and they went oher for six. You know that 502 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 2: that that puts you in a tough in a tough spot.

We used 539 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 5: to go to Spillway, go down and fish with my 540 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: dad and my grandpa. We would friends would come over. 541 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 5: We'd go in the backyard, grab the twenty two's and 542 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 5: you know, just go out and see what we could find. 543 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 5: A lot of a lot of basketball in the backyard 544 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 5: with my sister as well, you know, beating up on 545 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 5: her every once in a while. But yeah, just just 546 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 5: a lot of things outside. Really. You know, I played 547 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 5: my fair share of Xbox. 548 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie, but uh. 549 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, we we like to get out and do some 550 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 5: things outdoors. 551 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: You attended Camden Central High School, where I've read that 552 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: you had to be talked into playing high school football 553 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: and would only do so if you could be the 554 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: kicker and punter. Was that in fact the case? 555 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 5: That is that is true? 556 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 6: You know? 557 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 5: Growing up the junior high and the high school kind 558 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 5: of played. Uh, they were really close as far as 559 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 5: practice was. And looking over at the high school every day, 560 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 5: seeing those bigger guys, I wasn't always six for you know, 561 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 5: so looking over seeing those bigger guys, I was like, 562 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 5: I don't I don't know if football is for me. 563 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 5: But then my freshman year, my buddy Cody Hassel, he 564 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 5: eventually talked to me into coming out and I did 565 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 5: the kicking for them, and it was fun to be 566 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 5: out there. And then eventually, you know, I grew grew 567 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 5: a little bit and worked my way into actually wanting 568 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 5: to play a little bit more, and then ended up 569 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 5: playing quarterback my junior starting at quarterback my junior year. 570 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 5: So from there on it was it came pretty. 571 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: Fun, so high school quarterback, and you also averaged eighteen 572 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: points and twelve rebounds in hoops. But I'm guessing there 573 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: weren't a ton of college scouts and coaches that came 574 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: to your small high school. Did you have many or 575 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: any college opportunities. 576 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 5: I remember the Memphis Tigers came out and I did 577 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 5: like a small type of workout for them. One of 578 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 5: the coaches came out and just watched me throw, but 579 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 5: ended up my senior year last ready my spleen, I 580 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 5: think the third game, and so that kind of crushed 581 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 5: any scholarship hopes. 582 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: That I had. 583 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 5: Still had a few opportunities walk on wise, but now 584 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 5: as far as scouting and you know, teams offering scholarships, 585 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 5: it was it was non existent. 586 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: For visiting the Tanner Hudson. So you walked on at 587 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: Memphis as a quarterback, and after redshirting there for a year, 588 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: you transferred to Southern Arkansas the Mule Writers, where you 589 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: excelled as a tight end and also punted. When did 590 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 1: it start to seem possible that you could be an 591 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: NFL player? 592 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 5: Probably after my junior year. I had had a really 593 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 5: good junior year, and even even then, honestly, I knew 594 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 5: that there was a whole two divisions, you know, above 595 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 5: me with D one Double A and then D one, 596 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 5: So I knew the possibility of making it to the 597 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 5: NFL with slim, but I would I'd really like to 598 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 5: say my offensive coordinator, Landon Kepple, he helps me out 599 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 5: a lot, just kind of building that confidence and showing 600 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 5: me that I could play in league and being able 601 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 5: to go out and play my senior year. With that confidence, 602 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,239 Speaker 5: I think helped me a lot along with I had 603 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 5: a great quarterback in Barrett Runner, and then a lot 604 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 5: of very very skilled receivers around me as well. 605 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: You weren't drafted, but you signed originally with the Tampa 606 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers in twenty eighteen, and in twenty twenty you 607 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: were on a Super Bowl team. You're a tight end. 608 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: That team included Gronk, Rob Gronkowski maybe the best tight 609 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: end of all time. How would you describe Gronk on 610 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: and off the field. 611 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 5: The same exact person?

He knew when it was 614 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: signed to be serious, and he knew when he had 615 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 5: to get his job done. 616 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 7: But he's just what you see. 617 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 5: I mean, it is what you get like, he's goofy. 618 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 5: He's fun to be around. Just a great all around, 619 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 5: all around. 620 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: Go Gronk caught two touchdown passes and that Super Bowl 621 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: went over the Chiefs. You almost caught one as well. 622 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: In the third quarter, Tom Brady threw a nineteen yard 623 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: pass into the end zone for you. That was just 624 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: a tiny bit beyond your grasp. What do you remember 625 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: about that moment. 626 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 5: We ran So we ran the same play three times 627 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 5: and it had a can on it, and we canned 628 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 5: at both times, and the third time we ended up 629 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 5: running the pass off of it, and uh yeah, I 630 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 5: just remember being like, oh wow, I'm kind of open. 631 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 5: Let's let's make this happen. And then you know, it's 632 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 5: just a little bit outside of our reach. I could 633 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 5: have been a little further more towards the back pol 634 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 5: On maybe had a better chance at it.

We'd like to get out and see the city, 676 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 5: find some cool places to eat. So it was we 677 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 5: talked about it as it was a really great experience, 678 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 5: but something we like to just have the experience and 679 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 5: not really live there full time. 680 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: As they say, nice to visit, not a place you 681 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: want to live necessarily. So when you joined the Bengals 682 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: last year, I thought Tyler Eifert was making a comeback. 683 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: The resemblance is uncanny. Have people in Cincinnati legitimately mistaken 684 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: you for Tyler Eifford. 685 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 5: I haven't gotten to anybody outside the facility mistaken me. 686 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 5: Granted I don't go outside much, but no, I haven't. 687 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 5: I haven't gotten anybody outside. Darren he when I first 688 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 5: came around, started coming around, he noticed the resemblance and 689 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 5: mentioned it to me. So then I looked him up 690 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 5: and I was even shocked at how similar we do look. 691 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, it is two tight ends that look very 692 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: very much alike. All right, a few wild card topics. 693 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: Now for Tanner Hudson. Who is the greatest athlete of 694 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: all time in any sport? 695 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 5: Lebron James. I'm a big Lebron fan. I understand, you know, 696 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 5: old George me and my but he's go back and 697 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 5: forth with the whole Joan Lebron debate. But yeah, I 698 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 5: think he's one of the probably the greatest. And then 699 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 5: Tom Brady is right there. Tom Brady just brings a 700 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 5: whole whole different aspect to a team, which I assume 701 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 5: Lebron does the same thing. It's just Tom Brady just 702 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 5: brings that you don't want to mess up around him, 703 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 5: You don't want to be that guy. He just elevates 704 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 5: your team to a whole another level. 705 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: What do you like to spend your money on golf? 706 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 5: Probably? I mean, yeah, golf, hunting every once in a while, 707 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 5: do a couple of things with that, but uh yeah, 708 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 5: we just recently bought a farm, so that's where a 709 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 5: lot of it will be going. 710 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: Very nice. Do you have a bucket list activity that 711 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 1: you would like to do in an off season? 712 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 5: I would say any kind of trip to Montana, Wyoming. 713 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 5: I think somewhere in Canada like a nice It wouldn't 714 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 5: be off season doesn't really go with my hunting seasons 715 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 5: that I like, so, but anything to do with just 716 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 5: traveling getting to see those those areas. My brother went 717 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 5: elk hunting in Montana, or he went elk hunting in 718 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 5: Wyoming and just talked about how beautiful it was there, 719 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 5: and so I think visiting those places is something that 720 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 5: I look forward to. 721 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: Final question for Tanner Hudson, if you could meet anybody 722 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: in history, actor, athlete, statesman, whoever it might be. Who 723 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: would that person be, So. 724 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 5: It wouldn't be anybody famous. I would like to meet 725 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 5: my wife's dad. Yeah, he passed away when she was young. 726 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 5: And to be able to hear from him, and you know, 727 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 5: I get stories from her mom, and you know those 728 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 5: are fun to hear, but to be to hear the 729 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 5: stories that she tells me about him from him, I 730 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 5: think would be something really special. 731 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 1: That is a great heartfelt answer, Tanner Hudson.
