It's the greatest thing since the Jack. Several 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.360 current and former Bengals host charity golf tournaments for great causes, 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.440 and this year Bengals dot Com editor Jeff Butch Hobson 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.840 did as well. His tournament is called the Jack or 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:23.160 more formally, the Jack Hobson Memorial Golf Classic. Jack was 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.080 Jeff's first grandson who tragically passed away from a heart 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.760 defect when he was twenty nine days old. The tournament 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.800 pays tribute to Jack's memory and one hundred percent of 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.280 the proceeds go to the Children's Heart Foundation, which funds 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.480 research to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of congenital 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.000 heart defects. Unfortunately, rain got in the way of the 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.600 golf this year, but the event still raised more than 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.400 twenty thousand dollars and it's only the start. 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:56.400 If you would like to. 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:00.240 Learn more about the tournament or Jack Robert Hobbs and 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.600 just search for the Jack Hobson Memorial. Now, let's get 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.320 to football. The Bengals concluded their mandatory three day mini 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.120 camp on Thursday, meaning the players are now off for 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.440 five and a half weeks before training camp begins on 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.680 July twenty third. I asked Zach Taylor what he told 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.119 the players, particularly the rookies, about how to handle their 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.120 upcoming break. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.239 You can't be the reason why we start training camp 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.079 slow because you're a starter or a backup at a 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.320 key position, and you get start slow because you get 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.320 a soft tissue, because you're out of shape, or you 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.880 come back and it takes you three days to regain 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.080 the knowledge that we've already invested in the offseason. So 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.600 we got to hit the ground run and us on 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.160 every single player and coach to be able to do 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.000 that over these next five weeks. You got to have 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.480 a great plan in place to be consistent every single day. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.880 And I can't think of any other way to preach 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.240 it other than the ten ways we've done it so 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.840 far in these team meetings, and I expect our players 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.799 to hold themselves a high standard when they get back. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.400 I've discussed the mandatory mini camp and the open season 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:06.440 program in general with my broadcast partner Dave Lapham Lap. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.800 On Tuesday, the Bengals officially announced the release of Jermaine 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:13.960 Pratt after six seasons. It obviously saves them money towards 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.880 the salary cap, more than five million bucks. What is 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.600 Jermaine Pratt's legacy as a Cincinnati Bengal Well interesting. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.639 He made a lot of big plays. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.880 He made a lot of players that were determining factor 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.480 in the outcome of the football game, not necessarily the 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.480 last play of the game, although he did do that, 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.360 but not you know, not on a regular basis. All 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.640 of his plays weren't that type of play. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:41.960 But he was. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.840 A guy that when the game was on the line, 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.600 he stepped up and played his best and played big. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:55.400 He was a huge, huge factor defensively. Defensive coordinators, you know, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:01.480 loved him because he intelligent, had that football IQ. They 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.200 would install the defensive game plan and he was all 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.800 over it. I mean, he could recite it back to 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:12.240 him immediately, just about had a tremendous memory, and not 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:17.320 just of of you know, schematics and diagrams and that 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.440 sort of thing, but of plays of actual, uh you know, 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.719 games that he played in and snaps, and and he 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:30.919 could take take those circumstances and those scenarios that he 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.599 was put in and apply it to a game later 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.400 in his career, maybe even later that season, maybe even 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.360 the following week. He was one of those kind of guys, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.760 you know, he would he would not make a mistake 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.600 and then the following week make it again, and coaches 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.159 hate that, you know, don't make the same mistake twice. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.839 And Jermaine Pratt did not make the same mistake twice, 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.640 you know, I mean, I don't think he made the 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.680 same mistake twice, probably in his entire career. Sometimes guys 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.160 will go, you know, a season or a couple of seasons, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.120 will make the same type of mistake or the same 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.120 mistake that they made earlier. Didn't seem like that was 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.159 the case with him and all. He really learned from 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.599 his mistakes big time. And he was the type of 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.680 football player that all defensive coordinators defensive coaches liked in 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.600 that he always knew where he was supposed to be, 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.080 where he's supposed to go, how he was supposed to 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:32.440 get there. He just a very very high, high level 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:33.599 IQ football player. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.720 Let's hit on some of the newsworthy stuff coming out 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.799 of the mandatory mini camp. Number one first round draft 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.400 pick Shamar Stewart isn't practicing yet. He's been in meetings, 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.280 he's been watching practice from the sidelines, but he has 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.080 not taken the field. You did this professionally for twelve years. 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:56.000 At what point does missing practice impact his ability to 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:57.440 be his best in his rookie year. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:05:59.400 Yeah, it's not. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.880 I don't think it's super critical right now because I mean, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:08.640 my uh, you know, my rookie season. We just we 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.400 showed up a week before the veterans did at training camp. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:11.880 That was it. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.599 That was the only advantage that we got. But it 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.880 was advantage because we were two practices of a day, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.320 every day installation. We had the offense basically installed, and 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.560 then the veterans came in and it was a repeat 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.159 of it. And that was Paul Brown's brilliant idea. He 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.320 had a lot of brilliant ideas in his football career, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.560 for sure, but he felt like, get the rookies get 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.320 it under there. Let them get it underneath under their belt. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:42.760 Learn no no high pressure scenario. They're working against each other, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.920 you know, nobody, no no veteran player, you know, looking 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.760 down upon them and maybe being critical of mistakes or 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.640 whatever the case may be. And there was a bond 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.839 there that you made with other rookies working together for 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.320 a week like that when you're going through two practices 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.160 a day. And there were some there weren't enough rookies 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.800 to line up and conduct a good practice. So there 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.560 were for a second even thirty year guys that had 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.160 injuries or coming off of whatever situation. The lack of 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.160 playing time basically and the coaches wanted to make sure 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.800 that they get up the speed faster or as quickly 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.120 as they possibly could to give them the best opportunity 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.200 to make the football team. So they'd come in with 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.280 the rookies and a good group of those. It was 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.080 probably like fifty to fifty, and then the veterans would 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.680 come in and learn it all over again. The installation, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.720 as Paul would go back to the very beginning with 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:38.960 the veteran players and be one run play in the morning, 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.720 one pass play in the afternoon would be installed, and 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.280 that was it. And it was It was crazy but effective, 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.000 and you just it was burned into your mind. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.120 I mean, PB was. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.000 He was smart and sharp how he did things. But 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.080 so I think from a mental standpoint, I don't think 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.400 it's going to be killing him all that much. But 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:03.280 he is here, so keep up the speed with the installation. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.200 The mental part of it, his assignments, how his assignments 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.760 fit into the entire schematic, and why his assignment is 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.120 important to the schematic for the success of the schematic, 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.600 and all of that sort of thing. So I think 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.920 he actually is in a little bit better situation than that. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.400 He's he's getting mental reps and the physical reps I 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.440 think are all. Every rep is important, particularly when you're 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.080 just starting out. You can never get enough reps. That's 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.199 what Pep always said too, you know, you can never 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:38.880 ever get enough reps. Don't don't don't judge or tell 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.760 coaches no, I've had enough. I don't need any more 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.920 reps and none of that. So I think the physical 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.160 reps are equally important. I mean, the mental reps are valuable, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.640 the physical reps are extremely valuable, and he's missing out 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.520 on those and just getting used to the to the 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:03.040 pro game. As a specimen, I mean, he's what six' 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.720 five plus two hundred and eighty five pounds plus and 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.520 has the statistics of a defensive back a four five 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.200 inch vertical, jump ten foot eleven inch prod, jump what 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.080 are you kidding? ME i mean it's crazy. Stuff so, 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.600 PHYSICALLY i think he's going to be. Fine but and 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.760 he played he played in a good, conference and he 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.240 played on a good football team with very good defensive 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.760 linemen around. Him so he's used to working against a 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.920 good offensive line and practice in. College but come to THE, 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.679 nfl it is it's. DIFFERENT i, mean there are a 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.040 lot of really good football players walking around out there 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.520 that didn't make AN nfl, Franchise so it's it's the 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.400 best of the, best the cream of the, crop and 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.520 working against that is an, adjustment working against that type 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.400 of skill, level particularly one that's experienced and knows all 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.240 the tricks of the trade and all that sort of. Thing, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.719 so you, KNOW i do Think i'm a believer that 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.880 reps are. Important every rep you miss is one that 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.200 you're never going to be able to make. Up so 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.480 hopefully he doesn't miss too many because even these ALTHOUGH i, 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.400 think you, know the significance of these are at the 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.640 bottom of the totem pole one considered with all the. 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:20.760 Others BUT. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.959 I hate to see young players just misreps at any. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.480 Level then There's Trey, hendrickson who did not report for 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.600 mandatory mini, camp so he's subject to more than one hundred. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.240 Thousand dollars in. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.199 FINES i still think he's going to play for The 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.559 bengals this. Year AM i being naive what ultimately happens 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:39.800 in this? 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.040 STANDOFF i think he. PLAYS i agree with. YOU i 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:44.920 think he. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:49.120 PLAYS i think That who AM i to judge what's 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.160 fair for a? PLAYER a player is going to judge 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.720 what's fair for himself in terms of a. Contract this 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.480 guy's special seventeen and a half sacks led the, league 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.840 thirty five sacks the last two years led the. League 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.120 when you have a proven pass rusher like, that you 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.640 can't let them. Go you got to you gotta get 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.080 them under. Contract AND i think they will And, DAN i, 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.360 mean they know the, money the amount of money that 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.719 it's going to take to sign. THEM i think it's 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.680 it's just Like Schmar. Stewart it's terms and. Conditions in both. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.400 Cases they know what the dollar figures are in terms 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.000 of years and per year, compensation all that sort of, 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.079 thing but terms and, conditions how much, bonus how much 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.120 ones it paid, Out what kind of deferral are we talking? 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.880 ABOUT i, mean things of that. Nature and if they 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.720 can get the terms and conditions squared, away you know 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.840 they'll they'll be In they'll be reporting to. CAMP i 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.360 think that they'll both be in training. Camp are they 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.280 going to make all a training? Camp they're gonna be 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.600 in every preseason? Game probably, Not BUT i think they 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.920 all report before training camp. Ends both of them report 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.680 before training camp. Ends i'm crossing, everything crossing every FINGER i. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.920 Can let's talk about guys that are actually, here AND 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.960 i want to start with the offensive. Line they're set 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.160 at tackle With Orlando Brown junior And Marius. Mems they're 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.280 set at center With Ted. Carris so the guard spots 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:15.040 are the question marks right. Now Rookie Dylan fairchild is 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.000 running with the ones that left guard right. Guard early 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.439 in the, Practices Cody ford was getting a lot of 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.960 reps with the. Ones more recently it's Been Lucas. PATRICK 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.199 i think it's probably going to be one of those 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.200 two guys when we get to the start of the. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.560 Season what do you think of the? Group what do 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.839 you think of this offensive line and the likelihood that 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:34.959 it's going to be better than it's. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.560 BEEN i think that the offensive line is going to 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.839 be much better than it's. BEEN i really, Do, dan you, 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:45.160 know and it's not you, know oh, yeah, yeah it's 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.200 just the eternal optimism speaking and all that sort of. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.800 THING i, MEAN i think the people that you talk, 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.080 About i've got tremendous confidence in what those tackles can. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.280 Do they are genetic, freaks they are physical. MARVELS i, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.360 mean you, know eight plus three hundred and thirty five 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:08.360 to fifty pounds and long, arms big, hands tremendous, feet you, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.199 know in terms of being able to move their feet 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:17.000 and laterally and change, direction and it's incredible the size 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.600 of these behemoths with their ability to bend the, knees 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.600 bend at their hips and lower their pad level and 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.280 move and be. ATHLETIC i think they're as good as 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:31.040 tanamisers in The National Football. LEAGUE i think teams in 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.839 The National Football league have a tackle as good as 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.400 one of as those. TWO i don't think there's any 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.680 other team in THE nfl has got two tackles the 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.240 caliber of those two. GUYS i think that's a huge. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.679 EDGE i think that's a big. Advantage so you know 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.559 what had to be reworked the interior the offensive, line 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.640 And Ted krriss is going to be the, center and 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.640 he's the, captain you, know and he had a solid 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.680 year for. Sure Ted krriss is a tremendous leader of. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.800 Men he knows the game of football as well. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:13:59.400 As the coaches. 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.000 Do extremely. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:07.439 Intelligent he can come up and recognize defenses and help a. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.960 Quarterback he can recognize things before the quarterback and a 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.280 lot of times the quarterback are depending on him to 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:17.040 call out. Fronts and alignments and all that sort of 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.400 thing in the defensive line when he's making calls to 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.080 his offensive. Lineman so the guards are the, area like 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.880 you talk about that you need to see if you 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.680 can upgrade. Things AND i, AGREE i think the three 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:34.080 guys you talked about will be the. Three will it 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.880 be a rotation in, THERE i don't. Know you, Know Cody, 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.560 FORD i think has got a little bit of work to, 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.920 do drop some tonnage before training, camp AND i think 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.360 he's proven that he can play and very, athletic a 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.840 big guy that can really move and can play both, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.040 tackles can play both. Guards in my, mind he could 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.880 play center as, well and that that versatility is something 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.000 that is, rare you know It not every not every 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.080 player can do. That so when you have a guy 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.520 Like Cody ford that can do, it you have a 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.200 valuable commodity right. There but, YEAH i THINK i think 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.920 fairchild is is going to be. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.600 GOOD i think he's. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:15.680 STOUT i think his his lower body is very, strong 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.720 and you know he's WHEN i watch him on, tape 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.680 his pad level is really. Good you, know he's really 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.720 bending well at the, knees in the in the. Waist 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.360 that's youth and lack of injury is probably part of. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.160 It but some guys never are able to bend like 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.600 like he can. BEND i, mean that's that's an athletic 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.560 skill of skill sets to have and for, alignment it's 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.320 it's a must to. Have and when you have, IT i, 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.320 mean you don't want to lose. It you know you 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.720 got and it's something you want to. Have and he. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.880 Does he's got length to his, arms so he can you, know, he'll, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.840 uh he'll lock. Out and when he locks, out he's 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.640 got people at. Bay he's got his hands inside the 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.040 framework of the body and he'll he'll either jam with 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.240 his hands inside or he'll stagger uh at with the 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.560 numbers of a little high low. Jam and he's very 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.800 there's some sophistication to his. GAME i mean he's not 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.280 he's not like some little novice out. There you know. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.360 That uh oh, yeah dumb. ROOK i mean this, guy, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.760 no this guy is a football player that played in THE, 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.040 sec had played At. GEORGIA i, mean it doesn't get 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.960 any better than, that you, Know and he's got the 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.840 guys he played against or are there's a bunch of 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.400 in The National Football league and, uh you, know guys 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.640 that he played against and in this college, season his 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.840 when when he came out this, year when they were 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.960 seniors and or underclassmen or whatever that declare for THE nfl. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.640 DRAFT i, mean they're good football. Players so this guy 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.480 has been to battle with the. Best AND i think 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.400 when you when you played at that kind of level 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.120 of college, FOOTBALL i think the transitions maybe a little. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.040 Smoother i'm not going to say, easy but maybe a 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.960 little easier for a guy like. That and the good 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.520 news is that he's also good football. Acumen he understands 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.640 the game an extremely high level intelligent not only from 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.359 a FOOTBALL, iq but an overall, intelligence good, communicator you, 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.920 know sees. Things is an aware football. Player Paul brown 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.399 used to talk about being, aware you, know aware of your, 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.200 surroundings aware of your, environment aware of what's going, on 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.560 and aware of what you're supposed to do and how 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.679 you're supposed to do, it and damn, it do it 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.920 the right. Way and THAT'S i think that's what they, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:36.240 have you, know in Fair. Child so, YEAH i THINK 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.480 i think it's going to be an interesting. Battle and 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.760 Then patrick a big veteran offensive. Lineman he's got a 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.480 lot of games under his. Belt he's seeing everything that 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.000 you can. SEE i don't think there's a defensive quarter 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:48.919 in THE nfl or be. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:49.440 Able to fool. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.919 Him it's, like, oh, MAN i haven't seen that. Before 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.040 when you've played that many, games that many, snaps you've seen. 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.600 Everything SO i think he's going to be a plus as. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.560 Well AND i think the communication and that's going to 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.439 go on With Ted carris and a guy like, him you, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.679 know it will be unbelievable and it will help the 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.400 young tackle playing next to, him and you Know Ted Ted. 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.440 Will If fairchild is the left, guard Fair child will 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.440 be a. Rookie but like we're talking, ABOUT i think 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.680 he has the football acumen in AN iq of better 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.600 than a. Rookie and that'll be the area Where Ted, 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.080 will you, know have to really make sure that the 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:30.560 communication is up to snuff at a high level because 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.280 you get young players on that left side at left 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.439 guard and left. Tackle BUT i, think, man the, athleticism 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:45.160 the overall talent level of those five guys is pretty pretty. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.240 Impressive and when you look at, It, dan they're, young you, 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.879 KNOW i, Mean patrick's got some years on, Him carris 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.720 has got some years on. Him other than that the 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.960 other three man we're, talking we're talking in the early 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.600 stages of their, career so there's a lot of meat 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.600 on the bone and there's a lot of development that 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.240 can go on. There and, uh you, KNOW I i think, that, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.080 uh you, know Coach peters is the guy to to 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.160 get it out of. HIM i think he's gonna he's 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.159 gonna develop these guys big. Time and it's gonna be 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.399 interesting to see the whole thing come. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:17.600 Together from. 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.280 Actually what's going on now and uh organized team activities 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.560 and mandatory mini camps and so. Forth but it's it's 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.520 there's not a whole lot of hitting going. On i'm 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.720 interested to see how it all comes together when training camp. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.480 Starts let me ask you about a couple of wide 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.520 receivers not Named Jamar chase AND T. HIGGINS i ASKED 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.200 t About Andrea. 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:41.920 Yossi vais last. 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:46.399 Week he was effusive in his, praise saying that he's, bigger, stronger, faster. 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.440 Twitchier are people sleeping On andrea yosibash? 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.640 Probably you, KNOW i THINK i think there's a there's 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.160 a good, chance and you, KNOW i guess it might 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.160 be a little bit Under hannibal when you know the average. 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.280 Fan oh you know the man The Cincinnati. Bengals are 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.399 you kidding? Me Jamar chas and T. Higgins you have 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.880 a duo like that that are both amongst the best, 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.040 five maybe the best three or the best two in THE, 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.960 nfl and they're both in the same. Team other guys 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:20.880 can kind of get lost in the shuffle a little. 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:25.160 Bit BUT i think coaches and other players around THE, nfl, 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:29.080 no The bengals have more players than just those two. 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.600 Guys not to admit those those those players and. Coaches 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.280 they're not saying that they aren't great. Players they're saying 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.920 The bengals have two great players, there but they're also 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.560 saying that there are other. Players and you look At 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.800 kasiki at the tight end. Position he almost in a 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.000 lot of people's minds around the league translates to like 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.600 a third receiver because he'll go in the slot and 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.320 he'll he'll, motion he'll do things like a you, know 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.760 a slot wideout will do with a big body and 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.159 long arms and strong hands and all that sort of. 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.320 Thing it runs good routes and has really good speed 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:06.120 for his. Size his size speed ratios. Outstanding Andrey yosi 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.359 vash as a true third receiver IS i think on 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:14.760 the cusp of becoming a big factor in The National Football, 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.239 league because when you have two like, uh you, Know 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:23.000 chase And, higgins there's gonna be opportunity for. Others it's 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.480 it's you, know they're gonna they're gonna double those two. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.439 Guys so if you've got just both those guys on 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:34.399 the outside and you have four defensive backs to, safeties two, 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.199 corners you, know double both these receivers that are on the. 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.520 Outside you gotta roll safeties over the. Top there's the 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.760 four dbs on those two. Guys so now you're talking, about, 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.119 okay we'll run other dbs in their safety corner types or. 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:50.119 Whatever or you're talking about a mismatch on linebackers if 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:53.399 they don't go base. Defense so if, they you, know 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.560
