Speaker 2: current and former Bengals host charity golf tournaments for great causes,
Speaker 2: and this year Bengals dot Com editor Jeff Butch Hobson
Speaker 2: did as well. His tournament is called the Jack or
Speaker 2: more formally, the Jack Hobson Memorial Golf Classic. Jack was
Speaker 2: Jeff's first grandson who tragically passed away from a heart
Speaker 2: defect when he was twenty nine days old. The tournament
Speaker 2: pays tribute to Jack's memory and one hundred percent of
Speaker 2: the proceeds go to the Children's Heart Foundation, which funds
Speaker 2: research to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital
Speaker 2: heart defects. Unfortunately, rain got in the way of the
Speaker 2: golf this year, but the event still raised more than
Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars and it's only the start.
Speaker 1: If you would like to.
Speaker 2: Learn more about the tournament or Jack Robert Hobbs and
Speaker 2: just search for the Jack Hobson Memorial. Now, let's get
Speaker 2: to football. The Bengals concluded their mandatory three day mini
Speaker 2: camp on Thursday, meaning the players are now off for
Speaker 2: five and a half weeks before training camp begins on
Speaker 2: July twenty third. I asked Zach Taylor what he told
Speaker 2: the players, particularly the rookies, about how to handle their
Speaker 2: upcoming break.
Speaker 3: You can't be the reason why we start training camp
Speaker 3: slow because you're a starter or a backup at a
Speaker 3: key position, and you get start slow because you get
Speaker 3: a soft tissue, because you're out of shape, or you
Speaker 3: come back and it takes you three days to regain
Speaker 3: the knowledge that we've already invested in the offseason. So
Speaker 3: we got to hit the ground run and us on
Speaker 3: every single player and coach to be able to do
Speaker 3: that over these next five weeks. You got to have
Speaker 3: a great plan in place to be consistent every single day.
Speaker 3: And I can't think of any other way to preach
Speaker 3: it other than the ten ways we've done it so
Speaker 3: far in these team meetings, and I expect our players
Speaker 3: to hold themselves a high standard when they get back.
Speaker 2: I've discussed the mandatory mini camp and the open season
Speaker 2: program in general with my broadcast partner Dave Lapham Lap.
Speaker 2: On Tuesday, the Bengals officially announced the release of Jermaine
Speaker 2: Pratt after six seasons. It obviously saves them money towards
Speaker 2: the salary cap, more than five million bucks. What is
Speaker 2: Jermaine Pratt's legacy as a Cincinnati Bengal Well interesting.
Speaker 4: He made a lot of big plays.
Speaker 5: He made a lot of players that were determining factor
Speaker 5: in the outcome of the football game, not necessarily the
Speaker 5: last play of the game, although he did do that,
Speaker 5: but not you know, not on a regular basis. All
Speaker 5: of his plays weren't that type of play.
Speaker 4: But he was.
Speaker 5: A guy that when the game was on the line,
Speaker 5: he stepped up and played his best and played big.
Speaker 5: He was a huge, huge factor defensively. Defensive coordinators, you know,
Speaker 5: loved him because he intelligent, had that football IQ. They
Speaker 5: would install the defensive game plan and he was all
Speaker 5: over it. I mean, he could recite it back to
Speaker 5: him immediately, just about had a tremendous memory, and not
Speaker 5: just of of you know, schematics and diagrams and that
Speaker 5: sort of thing, but of plays of actual, uh you know,
Speaker 5: games that he played in and snaps, and and he
Speaker 5: could take take those circumstances and those scenarios that he
Speaker 5: was put in and apply it to a game later
Speaker 5: in his career, maybe even later that season, maybe even
Speaker 5: the following week. He was one of those kind of guys,
Speaker 5: you know, he would he would not make a mistake
Speaker 5: and then the following week make it again, and coaches
Speaker 5: hate that, you know, don't make the same mistake twice.
Speaker 5: And Jermaine Pratt did not make the same mistake twice,
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, I don't think he made the
Speaker 5: same mistake twice, probably in his entire career. Sometimes guys
Speaker 5: will go, you know, a season or a couple of seasons,
Speaker 5: will make the same type of mistake or the same
Speaker 5: mistake that they made earlier. Didn't seem like that was
Speaker 5: the case with him and all. He really learned from
Speaker 5: his mistakes big time. And he was the type of
Speaker 5: football player that all defensive coordinators defensive coaches liked in
Speaker 5: that he always knew where he was supposed to be,
Speaker 5: where he's supposed to go, how he was supposed to
Speaker 5: get there. He just a very very high, high level
Speaker 5: IQ football player.
Speaker 2: Let's hit on some of the newsworthy stuff coming out
Speaker 2: of the mandatory mini camp. Number one first round draft
Speaker 2: pick Shamar Stewart isn't practicing yet. He's been in meetings,
Speaker 2: he's been watching practice from the sidelines, but he has
Speaker 2: not taken the field. You did this professionally for twelve years.
Speaker 2: At what point does missing practice impact his ability to
Speaker 2: be his best in his rookie year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's super critical right now because I mean,
Speaker 5: my uh, you know, my rookie season. We just we
Speaker 5: showed up a week before the veterans did at training camp.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 5: That was the only advantage that we got. But it
Speaker 5: was advantage because we were two practices of a day,
Speaker 5: every day installation. We had the offense basically installed, and
Speaker 5: then the veterans came in and it was a repeat
Speaker 5: of it. And that was Paul Brown's brilliant idea. He
Speaker 5: had a lot of brilliant ideas in his football career,
Speaker 5: for sure, but he felt like, get the rookies get
Speaker 5: it under there. Let them get it underneath under their belt.
Speaker 5: Learn no no high pressure scenario. They're working against each other,
Speaker 5: you know, nobody, no no veteran player, you know, looking
Speaker 5: down upon them and maybe being critical of mistakes or
Speaker 5: whatever the case may be. And there was a bond
Speaker 5: there that you made with other rookies working together for
Speaker 5: a week like that when you're going through two practices
Speaker 5: a day. And there were some there weren't enough rookies
Speaker 5: to line up and conduct a good practice. So there
Speaker 5: were for a second even thirty year guys that had
Speaker 5: injuries or coming off of whatever situation. The lack of
Speaker 5: playing time basically and the coaches wanted to make sure
Speaker 5: that they get up the speed faster or as quickly
Speaker 5: as they possibly could to give them the best opportunity
Speaker 5: to make the football team. So they'd come in with
Speaker 5: the rookies and a good group of those. It was
Speaker 5: probably like fifty to fifty, and then the veterans would
Speaker 5: come in and learn it all over again. The installation,
Speaker 5: as Paul would go back to the very beginning with
Speaker 5: the veteran players and be one run play in the morning,
Speaker 5: one pass play in the afternoon would be installed, and
Speaker 5: that was it. And it was It was crazy but effective,
Speaker 5: and you just it was burned into your mind.
Speaker 4: I mean, PB was.
Speaker 5: He was smart and sharp how he did things. But
Speaker 5: so I think from a mental standpoint, I don't think
Speaker 5: it's going to be killing him all that much. But
Speaker 5: he is here, so keep up the speed with the installation.
Speaker 5: The mental part of it, his assignments, how his assignments
Speaker 5: fit into the entire schematic, and why his assignment is
Speaker 5: important to the schematic for the success of the schematic,
Speaker 5: and all of that sort of thing. So I think
Speaker 5: he actually is in a little bit better situation than that.
Speaker 5: He's he's getting mental reps and the physical reps I
Speaker 5: think are all. Every rep is important, particularly when you're
Speaker 5: just starting out. You can never get enough reps. That's
Speaker 5: what Pep always said too, you know, you can never
Speaker 5: ever get enough reps. Don't don't don't judge or tell
Speaker 5: coaches no, I've had enough. I don't need any more
Speaker 5: reps and none of that. So I think the physical
Speaker 5: reps are equally important. I mean, the mental reps are valuable,
Speaker 5: the physical reps are extremely valuable, and he's missing out
Speaker 5: on those and just getting used to the to the
Speaker 5: pro game. As a specimen, I mean, he's what six'
Speaker 5: five plus two hundred and eighty five pounds plus and
Speaker 5: has the statistics of a defensive back a four five
Speaker 5: inch vertical, jump ten foot eleven inch prod, jump what
Speaker 5: are you kidding? ME i mean it's crazy. Stuff so,
Speaker 5: PHYSICALLY i think he's going to be. Fine but and
Speaker 5: he played he played in a good, conference and he
Speaker 5: played on a good football team with very good defensive
Speaker 5: linemen around. Him so he's used to working against a
Speaker 5: good offensive line and practice in. College but come to THE,
Speaker 5: nfl it is it's. DIFFERENT i, mean there are a
Speaker 5: lot of really good football players walking around out there
Speaker 5: that didn't make AN nfl, Franchise so it's it's the
Speaker 5: best of the, best the cream of the, crop and
Speaker 5: working against that is an, adjustment working against that type
Speaker 5: of skill, level particularly one that's experienced and knows all
Speaker 5: the tricks of the trade and all that sort of. Thing,
Speaker 5: so you, KNOW i do Think i'm a believer that
Speaker 5: reps are. Important every rep you miss is one that
Speaker 5: you're never going to be able to make. Up so
Speaker 5: hopefully he doesn't miss too many because even these ALTHOUGH i,
Speaker 5: think you, know the significance of these are at the
Speaker 5: bottom of the totem pole one considered with all the.
Speaker 4: Others BUT.
Speaker 5: I hate to see young players just misreps at any.
Speaker 2: Level then There's Trey, hendrickson who did not report for
Speaker 2: mandatory mini, camp so he's subject to more than one hundred.
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars in.
Speaker 2: FINES i still think he's going to play for The
Speaker 2: bengals this. Year AM i being naive what ultimately happens
Speaker 2: in this?
Speaker 4: STANDOFF i think he. PLAYS i agree with. YOU i
Speaker 4: think he.
Speaker 5: PLAYS i think That who AM i to judge what's
Speaker 5: fair for a? PLAYER a player is going to judge
Speaker 5: what's fair for himself in terms of a. Contract this
Speaker 5: guy's special seventeen and a half sacks led the, league
Speaker 5: thirty five sacks the last two years led the. League
Speaker 5: when you have a proven pass rusher like, that you
Speaker 5: can't let them. Go you got to you gotta get
Speaker 5: them under. Contract AND i think they will And, DAN i,
Speaker 5: mean they know the, money the amount of money that
Speaker 5: it's going to take to sign. THEM i think it's
Speaker 5: it's just Like Schmar. Stewart it's terms and. Conditions in both.
Speaker 5: Cases they know what the dollar figures are in terms
Speaker 5: of years and per year, compensation all that sort of,
Speaker 5: thing but terms and, conditions how much, bonus how much
Speaker 5: ones it paid, Out what kind of deferral are we talking?
Speaker 5: ABOUT i, mean things of that. Nature and if they
Speaker 5: can get the terms and conditions squared, away you know
Speaker 5: they'll they'll be In they'll be reporting to. CAMP i
Speaker 5: think that they'll both be in training. Camp are they
Speaker 5: going to make all a training? Camp they're gonna be
Speaker 5: in every preseason? Game probably, Not BUT i think they
Speaker 5: all report before training camp. Ends both of them report
Speaker 5: before training camp. Ends i'm crossing, everything crossing every FINGER i.
Speaker 2: Can let's talk about guys that are actually, here AND
Speaker 2: i want to start with the offensive. Line they're set
Speaker 2: at tackle With Orlando Brown junior And Marius. Mems they're
Speaker 2: set at center With Ted. Carris so the guard spots
Speaker 2: are the question marks right. Now Rookie Dylan fairchild is
Speaker 2: running with the ones that left guard right. Guard early
Speaker 2: in the, Practices Cody ford was getting a lot of
Speaker 2: reps with the. Ones more recently it's Been Lucas. PATRICK
Speaker 2: i think it's probably going to be one of those
Speaker 2: two guys when we get to the start of the.
Speaker 2: Season what do you think of the? Group what do
Speaker 2: you think of this offensive line and the likelihood that
Speaker 2: it's going to be better than it's.
Speaker 5: BEEN i think that the offensive line is going to
Speaker 5: be much better than it's. BEEN i really, Do, dan you,
Speaker 5: know and it's not you, know oh, yeah, yeah it's
Speaker 5: just the eternal optimism speaking and all that sort of.
Speaker 5: THING i, MEAN i think the people that you talk,
Speaker 5: About i've got tremendous confidence in what those tackles can.
Speaker 5: Do they are genetic, freaks they are physical. MARVELS i,
Speaker 5: mean you, know eight plus three hundred and thirty five
Speaker 5: to fifty pounds and long, arms big, hands tremendous, feet you,
Speaker 5: know in terms of being able to move their feet
Speaker 5: and laterally and change, direction and it's incredible the size
Speaker 5: of these behemoths with their ability to bend the, knees
Speaker 5: bend at their hips and lower their pad level and
Speaker 5: move and be. ATHLETIC i think they're as good as
Speaker 5: tanamisers in The National Football. LEAGUE i think teams in
Speaker 5: The National Football league have a tackle as good as
Speaker 5: one of as those. TWO i don't think there's any
Speaker 5: other team in THE nfl has got two tackles the
Speaker 5: caliber of those two. GUYS i think that's a huge.
Speaker 5: EDGE i think that's a big. Advantage so you know
Speaker 5: what had to be reworked the interior the offensive, line
Speaker 5: And Ted krriss is going to be the, center and
Speaker 5: he's the, captain you, know and he had a solid
Speaker 5: year for. Sure Ted krriss is a tremendous leader of.
Speaker 5: Men he knows the game of football as well.
Speaker 4: As the coaches.
Speaker 1: Do extremely.
Speaker 5: Intelligent he can come up and recognize defenses and help a.
Speaker 5: Quarterback he can recognize things before the quarterback and a
Speaker 5: lot of times the quarterback are depending on him to
Speaker 5: call out. Fronts and alignments and all that sort of
Speaker 5: thing in the defensive line when he's making calls to
Speaker 5: his offensive. Lineman so the guards are the, area like
Speaker 5: you talk about that you need to see if you
Speaker 5: can upgrade. Things AND i, AGREE i think the three
Speaker 5: guys you talked about will be the. Three will it
Speaker 5: be a rotation in, THERE i don't. Know you, Know Cody,
Speaker 5: FORD i think has got a little bit of work to,
Speaker 5: do drop some tonnage before training, camp AND i think
Speaker 5: he's proven that he can play and very, athletic a
Speaker 5: big guy that can really move and can play both,
Speaker 5: tackles can play both. Guards in my, mind he could
Speaker 5: play center as, well and that that versatility is something
Speaker 5: that is, rare you know It not every not every
Speaker 5: player can do. That so when you have a guy
Speaker 5: Like Cody ford that can do, it you have a
Speaker 5: valuable commodity right. There but, YEAH i THINK i think
Speaker 5: fairchild is is going to be.
Speaker 4: GOOD i think he's.
Speaker 5: STOUT i think his his lower body is very, strong
Speaker 5: and you know he's WHEN i watch him on, tape
Speaker 5: his pad level is really. Good you, know he's really
Speaker 5: bending well at the, knees in the in the. Waist
Speaker 5: that's youth and lack of injury is probably part of.
Speaker 5: It but some guys never are able to bend like
Speaker 5: like he can. BEND i, mean that's that's an athletic
Speaker 5: skill of skill sets to have and for, alignment it's
Speaker 5: it's a must to. Have and when you have, IT i,
Speaker 5: mean you don't want to lose. It you know you
Speaker 5: got and it's something you want to. Have and he.
Speaker 5: Does he's got length to his, arms so he can you, know, he'll,
Speaker 5: uh he'll lock. Out and when he locks, out he's
Speaker 5: got people at. Bay he's got his hands inside the
Speaker 5: framework of the body and he'll he'll either jam with
Speaker 5: his hands inside or he'll stagger uh at with the
Speaker 5: numbers of a little high low. Jam and he's very
Speaker 5: there's some sophistication to his. GAME i mean he's not
Speaker 5: he's not like some little novice out. There you know.
Speaker 5: That uh oh, yeah dumb. ROOK i mean this, guy,
Speaker 5: no this guy is a football player that played in THE,
Speaker 5: sec had played At. GEORGIA i, mean it doesn't get
Speaker 5: any better than, that you, Know and he's got the
Speaker 5: guys he played against or are there's a bunch of
Speaker 5: in The National Football league and, uh you, know guys
Speaker 5: that he played against and in this college, season his
Speaker 5: when when he came out this, year when they were
Speaker 5: seniors and or underclassmen or whatever that declare for THE nfl.
Speaker 5: DRAFT i, mean they're good football. Players so this guy
Speaker 5: has been to battle with the. Best AND i think
Speaker 5: when you when you played at that kind of level
Speaker 5: of college, FOOTBALL i think the transitions maybe a little.
Speaker 5: Smoother i'm not going to say, easy but maybe a
Speaker 5: little easier for a guy like. That and the good
Speaker 5: news is that he's also good football. Acumen he understands
Speaker 5: the game an extremely high level intelligent not only from
Speaker 5: a FOOTBALL, iq but an overall, intelligence good, communicator you,
Speaker 5: know sees. Things is an aware football. Player Paul brown
Speaker 5: used to talk about being, aware you, know aware of your,
Speaker 5: surroundings aware of your, environment aware of what's going, on
Speaker 5: and aware of what you're supposed to do and how
Speaker 5: you're supposed to do, it and damn, it do it
Speaker 5: the right. Way and THAT'S i think that's what they,
Speaker 5: have you, know in Fair. Child so, YEAH i THINK
Speaker 5: i think it's going to be an interesting. Battle and
Speaker 5: Then patrick a big veteran offensive. Lineman he's got a
Speaker 5: lot of games under his. Belt he's seeing everything that
Speaker 5: you can. SEE i don't think there's a defensive quarter
Speaker 5: in THE nfl or be.
Speaker 4: Able to fool.
Speaker 5: Him it's, like, oh, MAN i haven't seen that. Before
Speaker 5: when you've played that many, games that many, snaps you've seen.
Speaker 5: Everything SO i think he's going to be a plus as.
Speaker 5: Well AND i think the communication and that's going to
Speaker 5: go on With Ted carris and a guy like, him you,
Speaker 5: know it will be unbelievable and it will help the
Speaker 5: young tackle playing next to, him and you Know Ted Ted.
Speaker 5: Will If fairchild is the left, guard Fair child will
Speaker 5: be a. Rookie but like we're talking, ABOUT i think
Speaker 5: he has the football acumen in AN iq of better
Speaker 5: than a. Rookie and that'll be the area Where Ted,
Speaker 5: will you, know have to really make sure that the
Speaker 5: communication is up to snuff at a high level because
Speaker 5: you get young players on that left side at left
Speaker 5: guard and left. Tackle BUT i, think, man the, athleticism
Speaker 5: the overall talent level of those five guys is pretty pretty.
Speaker 5: Impressive and when you look at, It, dan they're, young you,
Speaker 5: KNOW i, Mean patrick's got some years on, Him carris
Speaker 5: has got some years on. Him other than that the
Speaker 5: other three man we're, talking we're talking in the early
Speaker 5: stages of their, career so there's a lot of meat
Speaker 5: on the bone and there's a lot of development that
Speaker 5: can go on. There and, uh you, KNOW I i think, that,
Speaker 5: uh you, know Coach peters is the guy to to
Speaker 5: get it out of. HIM i think he's gonna he's
Speaker 5: gonna develop these guys big. Time and it's gonna be
Speaker 5: interesting to see the whole thing come.
Speaker 4: Together from.
Speaker 5: Actually what's going on now and uh organized team activities
Speaker 5: and mandatory mini camps and so. Forth but it's it's
Speaker 5: there's not a whole lot of hitting going. On i'm
Speaker 5: interested to see how it all comes together when training camp.
Speaker 2: Starts let me ask you about a couple of wide
Speaker 2: receivers not Named Jamar chase AND T. HIGGINS i ASKED
Speaker 2: t About Andrea.
Speaker 1: Yossi vais last.
Speaker 2: Week he was effusive in his, praise saying that he's, bigger, stronger, faster.
Speaker 2: Twitchier are people sleeping On andrea yosibash?
Speaker 5: Probably you, KNOW i THINK i think there's a there's
Speaker 5: a good, chance and you, KNOW i guess it might
Speaker 5: be a little bit Under hannibal when you know the average.
Speaker 5: Fan oh you know the man The Cincinnati. Bengals are
Speaker 5: you kidding? Me Jamar chas and T. Higgins you have
Speaker 5: a duo like that that are both amongst the best,
Speaker 5: five maybe the best three or the best two in THE,
Speaker 5: nfl and they're both in the same. Team other guys
Speaker 5: can kind of get lost in the shuffle a little.
Speaker 5: Bit BUT i think coaches and other players around THE, nfl,
Speaker 5: no The bengals have more players than just those two.
Speaker 5: Guys not to admit those those those players and. Coaches
Speaker 5: they're not saying that they aren't great. Players they're saying
Speaker 5: The bengals have two great players, there but they're also
Speaker 5: saying that there are other. Players and you look At
Speaker 5: kasiki at the tight end. Position he almost in a
Speaker 5: lot of people's minds around the league translates to like
Speaker 5: a third receiver because he'll go in the slot and
Speaker 5: he'll he'll, motion he'll do things like a you, know
Speaker 5: a slot wideout will do with a big body and
Speaker 5: long arms and strong hands and all that sort of.
Speaker 5: Thing it runs good routes and has really good speed
Speaker 5: for his. Size his size speed ratios. Outstanding Andrey yosi
Speaker 5: vash as a true third receiver IS i think on
Speaker 5: the cusp of becoming a big factor in The National Football,
Speaker 5: league because when you have two like, uh you, Know
Speaker 5: chase And, higgins there's gonna be opportunity for. Others it's
Speaker 5: it's you, know they're gonna they're gonna double those two.
Speaker 5: Guys so if you've got just both those guys on
Speaker 5: the outside and you have four defensive backs to, safeties two,
Speaker 5: corners you, know double both these receivers that are on the.
Speaker 5: Outside you gotta roll safeties over the. Top there's the
Speaker 5: four dbs on those two. Guys so now you're talking, about,
Speaker 5: okay we'll run other dbs in their safety corner types or.
Speaker 5: Whatever or you're talking about a mismatch on linebackers if
Speaker 5: they don't go base. Defense so if, they you, know
Speaker 5: stay based, defense you're gonna have matchups of those type
Speaker 5: of receivers with that skill set on linebacker. Types, so you,
Speaker 5: KNOW i think that the depth in the of talent
Speaker 5: that The Cincinnati bengals have at wide receiver and tight,
Speaker 5: end they're gonna be. MISMATCHES i, mean defensives don't have
Speaker 5: they can't find enough cover. GUYS i, mean nobody has
Speaker 5: enough cover guys to handle all of those. Guys So
Speaker 5: Joe burrow is gonna be slicing and dison. Man he's
Speaker 5: gonna find the. Weakness he's gonna find the best matchup
Speaker 5: and that's where the football's. Going and if, they you,
Speaker 5: know do something to alleviate that, problem there's gonna be
Speaker 5: another problem that crops, up and he's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 5: dissect that. Problem SO i think that Watching Joe burrow
Speaker 5: throw the football to this group of talent receivers at
Speaker 5: a wide receiver and tight end is going to be
Speaker 5: fun For bengals. Fans it's gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 5: passing game offense at the highest level possible in The
Speaker 5: National Football league here In. Cincinnati and you, know goes
Speaker 5: back to what we just talked about, Earlier, dan the
Speaker 5: old lineman they got to protect.
Speaker 2: Better then There's Jermaine, burton who appears to be doing
Speaker 2: all the right things to try to earn the trust
Speaker 2: back from his coaches and. Teammates are you buying into
Speaker 2: The Jermaine burton redemption.
Speaker 5: Arc he's doing all the right, things you, know and
Speaker 5: he's looking to be that fourth, guy that fourth wide.
Speaker 5: Receiver now we talked about you, Know gasiki is even
Speaker 5: a third receiver And yosi is a fourth Or yosi
Speaker 5: is a third wide. Receiver and now you've got you,
Speaker 5: know the tight, ends and there's multiple receivers at the
Speaker 5: tight end position as, well not Just Mike. Kasiki SO
Speaker 5: i mean The bengals are blessed with, many many. Weapons
Speaker 5: but you, know you got a young guy In burton
Speaker 5: that he's got all the physical attributes that a wide
Speaker 5: receiver could. Want he's got, size he's got, speed he's
Speaker 5: got ability to change, direction get in and out of.
Speaker 5: CUTS i, mean this guy can sink his hips and
Speaker 5: create separation and you, know cut on a. Dime and
Speaker 5: when when you've got receivers that are are absolutely just
Speaker 5: sinking their, hips planting that left foot and cutting on
Speaker 5: a you, know ninety degree angle to the sideline or
Speaker 5: to an open, AREA i, mean that's that's. Tough that's
Speaker 5: tough to. Handle and they they've got guys that can do,
Speaker 5: it And burton's one of. Them burton's got really good.
Speaker 5: HANDS i mean he's got soft, hands he catches the
Speaker 5: ball very. Easily he's got length to, him so he
Speaker 5: can be a. MISMATCH i, MEAN i THINK i think he's.
Speaker 5: DECEPTIVE i think a lot of times you see him
Speaker 5: in practice and you, know he's down the football field
Speaker 5: and jump all situation he's. Winning he's winning every one
Speaker 5: of them because he's longer than you think he. Is
Speaker 5: and he times has jumped very. Well that's the big thing.
Speaker 5: Is you, know jumping ability is, great but if you
Speaker 5: jump too, soon you're on your way. Down the ball
Speaker 5: hasn't arrived. Yet you, know he has a great ability
Speaker 5: to times jump and catch it at the. Apex you,
Speaker 5: know the high point of his jump is when the
Speaker 5: football is uh is is there for to take advantage
Speaker 5: of and and uh make a catch over the defender
Speaker 5: and he can he can do that very. WELL i
Speaker 5: THINK i think this guy's the limit for. Him it's
Speaker 5: up to. Him you, know he has to be able
Speaker 5: to take care of. Business he has to be a.
Speaker 5: Pro he has to learn and understand his. Playbook he
Speaker 5: has to be on top of every single. Assignment he
Speaker 5: has to gain the trust Of Joe burrow and don't lose,
Speaker 5: it and he has to gain the trust of all
Speaker 5: his teammates and don't lose. It is that this, guy
Speaker 5: if he, can you, know not make critical. Mistakes anytime
Speaker 5: in the football game you're making a mistake is not
Speaker 5: it's not good. Obviously but if it's a big third
Speaker 5: down and they do have double, coverage you know on
Speaker 5: the on the two, stars and And burton is the
Speaker 5: guy that.
Speaker 4: Is, okay he's he's the.
Speaker 5: OPTION i, Mean joe's thinking if they if they double
Speaker 5: to Outside, Burton i've got a mismatch, here and it
Speaker 5: unfolds exactly that, way And burton makes a mistake And
Speaker 5: joe throws a, Pick it's. Over it's. Over the trust
Speaker 5: is over. There you, know you've got to respect and
Speaker 5: trust each other as, teammates and, uh you know that's
Speaker 5: what you have to have big time between wide receivers and.
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks let's move to a few defensive. Topics it's been
Speaker 2: interesting to watch during the OTAs and mini camp and
Speaker 2: now the mandatory mini. Camp Al golden is moving his
Speaker 2: cornerbacks around quite a bit outside, slot either, side it's et.
Speaker 2: Cetera do you think he's just trying to figure out
Speaker 2: who belongs where or is that something that they can
Speaker 2: do in the.
Speaker 5: SEASON i THINK i think it's a little bit of.
Speaker 5: BOTH i THINK i think it's he's he's he values
Speaker 5: versatility in all of his, players even even with the defensive.
Speaker 5: Lineman he doesn't want just a nose, tackle you. Know
Speaker 5: he wants a guy that can play goes tackling one.
Speaker 5: Technique he wants a defensive tackle to play one technique
Speaker 5: the inside shoulder of the guard or a three technique
Speaker 5: the outside shoulder of a. Guard he wants defensive ends
Speaker 5: and can line, up you, know head up on an
Speaker 5: offensive tackle all the way out to you, know way,
Speaker 5: wide like a nine, technique way out on the on the.
Speaker 5: Edge SO i mean that's the first utility he's looking
Speaker 5: at with guys up, front. Linebackers he's looking at guys
Speaker 5: that can can do do multiple. Things go, smash come
Speaker 5: downhill and smash a guy in the running game and
Speaker 5: get a knock back and separate and make a, tackle you.
Speaker 5: Know but he wants guys that can. Blitz he wants
Speaker 5: guys that can drop in the. Coverage he wants players
Speaker 5: that can do a myriad of. Things Because Al golden's
Speaker 5: game is he's Got Encyclopedia britannica the things that he
Speaker 5: can do to. You and it's it's interesting the way
Speaker 5: he gets to it because it's not like a million different,
Speaker 5: Alignments but what he's got within his configurations and alignments
Speaker 5: is a myriad of different, looks you, Know and all
Speaker 5: you need is about you, know if you're if you're
Speaker 5: lining up and you have to win in your base
Speaker 5: the key is you have to be able to handle
Speaker 5: the opponent into your base. Defense if you're getting destroyed
Speaker 5: in your base, defense tricking ain't. Happening it's not gonna.
Speaker 5: Work it's not it's just not gonna that's not the
Speaker 5: way it. Works and in The National Football league or
Speaker 5: any level of football. Really but if you if you can,
Speaker 5: hint if you're knocking them back and you're capturing the
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage and all that sort of thing in
Speaker 5: your base, look and then you start running all the
Speaker 5: stuff that Dal golden's got in his back pocket and
Speaker 5: in his game plan and, playbook they could be.
Speaker 4: Good they could be.
Speaker 5: Good and they've got versatile athletes at all those, levels
Speaker 5: like you, Say, dan even at corner and. SAFETY i,
Speaker 5: mean if you've got position versatility, THERE i, mean look
Speaker 5: At Dax. Hill you know he's coming off of injury,
Speaker 5: obviously acl he missed the last but five GAMES i
Speaker 5: think of.
Speaker 4: The only missed the staff only played five, okay.
Speaker 5: Only played five. GAMES i mean this guy can line up, anywhere, corner, strong,
Speaker 5: FREE i, mean he can line up, anywhere do. Anything
Speaker 5: that's that's the kind of. Thing that's the kind of
Speaker 5: tool that that you, Know Al golden likes to have
Speaker 5: in his toolbox and be able to utilize him and
Speaker 5: Get like we talked about, mismatches this game is all about.
Speaker 5: Mismatches you, know whether it's if you if you can
Speaker 5: find a mismatch like we talked about with, bass if
Speaker 5: you've got your defensive, end Is i'm going to handle
Speaker 5: the right tackle the entire. Game you got a mismatch
Speaker 5: and you're making them do something to handle your. Guy
Speaker 5: your guy's too good for the guy that's going he's
Speaker 5: going up against in the other, team they put a
Speaker 5: tight end over, there they chip on the back to do,
Speaker 5: whatever and Now Al golden can start doing things based
Speaker 5: off of what They're the adjustment. There making, football Like
Speaker 5: Paul brown talked, about is always adjustments and adjustments to,
Speaker 5: adjustments And Al golden is one of the BEST i
Speaker 5: think in TODAY'S nfl adjusting to adjustments and making you
Speaker 5: make adjustments offensively with what he's doing.
Speaker 2: Defensively al is one of several new coaches on the.
Speaker 2: Staff There's Jerry, Montgomery Mike, codges And Scott, peters and
Speaker 2: then they have assistants as well that have joined the coaching.
Speaker 2: Staff but those guys THAT i mentioned are all younger
Speaker 2: than the coaches that they. Replaced is there something to
Speaker 2: that having guys that are closer to your.
Speaker 5: AGE i think there. Is you, know the first thing
Speaker 5: they that they have to be able to. Do Paul
Speaker 5: brown was was was really good with. THIS i don't
Speaker 5: care how old you, are how young you, are you
Speaker 5: got to be able to.
Speaker 4: Coach damn.
Speaker 5: It if you can't, coach the player is going to
Speaker 5: figure you. Out and if if you're not getting it
Speaker 5: getting it done in terms of winning their trust in
Speaker 5: what you're doing on a, practice, routine practice, schedule putting
Speaker 5: each other game. Plans if they don't respect what you're
Speaker 5: doing and trust that you're putting them in the best
Speaker 5: position to position to, win it doesn't matter how old
Speaker 5: you are or how young you, are but all things being,
Speaker 5: equal if you've got guys that are good in that,
Speaker 5: regard youth helps my, opinion IT'S i mean it's a
Speaker 5: young person's, game, REALLY i mean the hours that they
Speaker 5: have to, spend it's JUST i, think you, know, YOUNGER
Speaker 5: i mean working the seventy seventy five hour week putting
Speaker 5: together game. Plans And i'm not saying, that you, know
Speaker 5: guys in their sixties and seventies can't do. It they've
Speaker 5: done it and they'll continue to do. It BUT i
Speaker 5: just think that the energy and enthusiasm that these young
Speaker 5: guys That i'm seeing out in the football field right,
Speaker 5: now if that continues, IT i think it's going to
Speaker 5: even even maybe jump a notch or two once pads
Speaker 5: come on and you start really getting after each. Other
Speaker 5: in training, CAMP i think practice is gonna be whoa,
Speaker 5: man here we. Go they're gonna be like very very
Speaker 5: fun to. Watch it's gonna be high, intensity high, productivity.
Speaker 5: PHYSICALITY i, Think, UH i think training camp is gonna
Speaker 5: be gonna be a, blast AND i think they're gonna
Speaker 5: play that. WAY i think that there they're gonna be
Speaker 5: teams are gonna have a snoopful as As pev used
Speaker 5: to call. It every. Week make sure you're you're out
Speaker 5: there getting after it and, uh finishing every play and
Speaker 5: make life difficult to the.
Speaker 2: Opponent All, right one more, question and it's not A
Speaker 2: bengals question per, se it's AN Afc north. Question what
Speaker 2: do you make of The steelers Signing Aaron rodgers and
Speaker 2: does it drastically change your opinion Of pittsburgh's ability to
Speaker 2: potentially compete With cincinnati And baltimore for the division?
Speaker 5: Title, YEAH i, MEAN i think the and the signing
Speaker 5: Of Aaron rodgers is it's a. Plus it's got to.
Speaker 5: BE i, MEAN i think he definitely upgrades your quarterback.
Speaker 5: ROOM i know he's what forty years, OLD i know
Speaker 5: he's not what he, was but, man he can still
Speaker 5: spin the spin the.
Speaker 4: Pigskin.
Speaker 5: Man the guy can throw, it and he can throw it,
Speaker 5: accurately and he can throw it long. Distances pittsburgh runs
Speaker 5: the ball so effectively to have him to think about
Speaker 5: him throwing the football for The Pittsburgh. Steelers if they
Speaker 5: get that running game, going, man that's a that's a,
Speaker 5: problem the problem to deal with for. SURE i know
Speaker 5: the all the receiving corps and the tight end groups
Speaker 5: and backs out of the, backfield they're all excited about
Speaker 5: catching the football From Aaron rodgers, defensively it lifts.
Speaker 4: That group up because you've Got Aaron. Rodgers.
Speaker 5: MAN i, mean we lost a bunch of games in
Speaker 5: the fourth, quarter and you know With Aaron. Rodgers Aaron,
Speaker 5: rodgers his mwas win games in the fourth. Quarter and
Speaker 5: that's you, know that's basically what every football team has
Speaker 5: to do to make the. Playoffs his win games in
Speaker 5: the fourth. Quarter in THE, nfl a ton of games
Speaker 5: are one. Score you gotta you gotta get you gotta
Speaker 5: get it done in the fourth quarter to win your
Speaker 5: share of important football. Games and he's done that during
Speaker 5: the course of his. Career BUT i think he was
Speaker 5: Amazing dan four out of five. YEARS i think he
Speaker 5: won the m V p two went off two and
Speaker 5: the dude could, run could, throw he could do.
Speaker 4: ANYTHING i, mean he was.
Speaker 5: Remarkable he was you couldn't defend the.
Speaker 4: Guy he's not that guy. Anymore AND i.
Speaker 5: Think, again you Know Al golden and his packages and
Speaker 5: the performance of the, players you, know executing those. Packages
Speaker 5: they got to bottle of Of Aaron rodgers and The Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: Steelers BUT i do think That Aaron rodgers makes them
Speaker 5: a different football team. Offensively if he's the guy there's
Speaker 5: no question about.
Speaker 2: It you're telling me he's an upgrade From Mason. Rudolph.
Speaker 5: YEAH i Like Mason. RUDOLF i like him a, Lot
Speaker 5: but heat No Aaron.
Speaker 2: Rodgers as you probably, Know lap is one of nine

Speaker 6: Luck, yes, sorry thank you so.
Speaker 2: Much Chase, brown SOME, I Jp, ryan AND. Todj brooks
Speaker 2: give The bengals three solid running backs going into training.
Speaker 2: Camp Zach moss is still on the, roster but a
Speaker 2: bit of a question mark after the neck injury that
Speaker 2: he suffered last. Year moss attended the mandatory mini camp
Speaker 2: but was not in uniform and only did some conditioning.
Speaker 1: Drills on the.
Speaker 2: Side, now let's go from five questions to five observations
Speaker 2: after watching The bengals practice this week and talking to
Speaker 2: players and. Coaches topic number one is trench. Warfare in
Speaker 2: the next to last, practice there was a drill where
Speaker 2: five offensive linemen had to pass protect against five pass,
Speaker 2: rushers and it was unusually intense and physical for this
Speaker 2: time of the off. Season there's only so much contact
Speaker 2: allowed in mini camps under The Collective Bargaining, agreement AND
Speaker 2: i asked offensive Coordinator Dan. Pitcher if The bengals are
Speaker 2: doing as much as, Permitted.
Speaker 8: We're going to follow all the guidelines that dictate how
Speaker 8: we can practice this time of. Year but you, know
Speaker 8: we want to challenge our. Guys we've we've talked at
Speaker 8: length with with our with our, line specifically in the whole,
Speaker 8: unit about just how critical that element.
Speaker 4: Is to our.
Speaker 8: Success and put a clip up there, today you, know
Speaker 8: vers a five man rush and it stresses the line out,
Speaker 8: right there's five one on one matchups across the, board
Speaker 8: but the BUT i made the points to, them there's
Speaker 8: five one on one matchups on the outside that are
Speaker 8: all in our. Favor so when you guys can step
Speaker 8: up and execute in those, spots that's that's a game
Speaker 8: change in. Play AND i think they're understanding that we're
Speaker 8: going to keep putting that in difficult, situations, Right pascal's
Speaker 8: that's an offensive, drill, right the defense is in a
Speaker 8: tough situation, there the drill you're talking. About we got
Speaker 8: to put our guys in tough spots and see how they,
Speaker 8: respond AND i think they've done a good.
Speaker 2: Job That Topic number two also involves the. Trenches more,
Speaker 2: specifically the two new line Coaches Scott peters And Jerry.
Speaker 2: Montgomery they are both extremely hands on coaches who physically
Speaker 2: demonstrate the exact techniques they're looking for and are young
Speaker 2: enough and strong enough to mix it up with the.
Speaker 2: Players here's Center Ted karras on their, impact including a
Speaker 2: detailed look At Scott.
Speaker 9: PETERS i Think scott And jerry have really added a
Speaker 9: great new dimension to our trench. PLAY i, think you,
Speaker 9: know we got a lot of great, players and you,
Speaker 9: know it just felt you, know those are you, know
Speaker 9: we went out there for these last nine to ten
Speaker 9: practices and really got after, him you, know more so
Speaker 9: than we have in the.
Speaker 2: Past it seemed really darius With scott leaders during these.
Speaker 1: Duels has it been and like a refresh for You?
Speaker 9: YEAH i mean so it's a very unique you, know
Speaker 9: being year ten and going over techniques That i've never heard,
Speaker 9: of AND i think that's been you, know that's that's
Speaker 9: one of the JOYS i take as a football. Player
Speaker 9: i've had a lot OF o line coaches in my,
Speaker 9: time and you, know to learn something That i've never
Speaker 9: even heard, of has you, Know it's taken you, know
Speaker 9: this eight weeks to kind of get comfortable with it
Speaker 9: and now we can take it in.
Speaker 5: The summer and train.
Speaker 9: It BUT i think he's done a great. Job you,
Speaker 9: know we're gonna have some some nuances that are a
Speaker 9: little bit, different AND i think it's gonna you, know
Speaker 9: what we talked about when he first got, HIRED i was,
Speaker 9: like how can we increase our one on one win?
Speaker 9: Percentage that's like all you, know that's like the main
Speaker 9: goal is how can we put tools in our players'
Speaker 9: hands that increase the chances of a one on one?
Speaker 9: Victory because we AND i think, that you, know we've
Speaker 9: kind of it's great to have a guy come in
Speaker 9: that hasn't been here kind of look at it from
Speaker 9: ten thousand feet and really be honest about you know
Speaker 9: what we, are who we, are you know who we
Speaker 9: are as an, offense and how we can be the
Speaker 9: best unit for this.
Speaker 2: Offense i've talked to nearly every offensive lineman during the
Speaker 2: off season, program and all of them are effusive in
Speaker 2: their praise For Scott. Peters topic number three is new
Speaker 2: defensive Coordinator Al. Golden When i've asked players About, al
Speaker 2: the first word that usually comes up is detailed and
Speaker 2: the final practice of mini camp provided a good. Example last,
Speaker 2: Year Al's Notre dame unit tied for the national leite
Speaker 2: and defensive touchdowns with, six including five on pick. Six's On,
Speaker 2: thursday The bengals worked on the finer points of scoring
Speaker 2: after an, interception such as where you should, run how
Speaker 2: to block without getting, penalized and the importance of not
Speaker 2: drilling the quarterback since officials are hyper focused on not
Speaker 2: allowing that to. Happen al basically went straight from Coaching
Speaker 2: Notre dame's defense in The National championship game to trying
Speaker 2: to build a championship level d defense In. Cincinnati if
Speaker 2: anyone needs the upcoming break before training, camp it's the
Speaker 2: team's new defensive.
Speaker 1: Coordinator grateful to be.
Speaker 10: Here love love being a part of The bengals, organization
Speaker 10: love coming to work every. Day that the coaching staff
Speaker 10: that we have is. Awesome they exceed expectations every. Day
Speaker 10: and it's been. Hard it's been really hard going from you,
Speaker 10: know you have to assess you know your current, roster
Speaker 10: then transition to the, draft and then you, know get
Speaker 10: on the. Field and there hasn't been any many many
Speaker 10: days off for. Us you, know we were joking this,
Speaker 10: MORNING i went from the longest season in the history
Speaker 10: of college football to straight. Work SO i am ready
Speaker 10: for a, break And i'm not afraid to Say i'm
Speaker 10: going to take.
Speaker 2: It al's ability to develop young players is going to
Speaker 2: be one of the biggest keys to the team's success
Speaker 2: this year and. Beyond one of The bengals, Scouts Andrew,
Speaker 2: johnson was recently a guest on this, podcast and if
Speaker 2: you didn't listen to that, Episode andrews said the, FOLLOWING
Speaker 2: i think That Al golden is going to be THE
Speaker 2: x factor IN us winning The Super. Bowl i'm the
Speaker 2: topic number. Four Cam, sample The bengals defensive, lineman missed
Speaker 2: all of last year with a torn achilles and recently
Speaker 2: got the green light to return to. Practice D line
Speaker 2: drills don't strike me as the most fun thing in the,
Speaker 2: world but it's been obvious Watching cam that he's having a.
Speaker 2: Ball after one drill where he sprinted into position in past,
Speaker 2: coverage he even broke into a little. Dance how does
Speaker 2: it feel emotionally to be back out there doing your?
Speaker 4: Thing? Oh, great.
Speaker 11: MAN i really talked about it all day because it
Speaker 11: was a hell of a, process you, know you, know
Speaker 11: hurt And cam going into your fourth. Year the you,
Speaker 11: know the expectations defense had for, you and not being
Speaker 11: able to be here for the.
Speaker 1: Guys you know that hurt a.
Speaker 11: Lot but it's so easy to Take soff for, granted
Speaker 11: not SAYING i did, before but just me and back
Speaker 11: out there Like i'm you, Know i'm excited to go to,
Speaker 11: practice not THAT i wasn't, before but when the game's
Speaker 11: taking away from, you you just get a whole different,
Speaker 11: respective more football than the. Drills SO i just had
Speaker 11: a real Possible i'm JUST i don't have to be
Speaker 11: out there. Now so that's what all you saw right
Speaker 11: there with that for.
Speaker 2: Sure gam was a rookie when The bengals went to
Speaker 2: The Super bowl in twenty twenty, one and he Sacked
Speaker 2: Patrick mahomes in THE Afc Championship game the following. Year
Speaker 2: my fifth and final topic Is Trey. Hendrickson AS i
