Again, we 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:45.720 are at our P. McMurphy. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.000 Shout out to them for taking care of us and fellas, 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.040 y'all know how we do these Saturday Night specialist of 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:51.680 this on Sunday and nothing gonna change. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:52.279 Sunday night. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.760 I need to hear y'all memories from Prime Time Monday 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.360 Night Football Live Monday. 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.400 Night Football, and y'all strap up and tell me when 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.000 it comes to my be mishe. I'm gonna start with you, brother, on. 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.840 Monday night, when it When it is on Monday night 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.920 and it's prime time, you know, you think about everything 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:13.119 you've ever done. So I returned Touchdownds. I played quarterback 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.320 and scored. But when I think about Cincinnati, I came 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.840 here nineteen ninety one I think it was, and they 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.040 had the Ikey Shuffle. They didn't shuffle much that day 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:27.760 and I got I got tackled by a guy and 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.720 I heard pop up, and I'm like, what the hell? 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.639 So I started reaching around in my legs, my arms 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.960 and nothing was broken, but I figured somebody had something happen. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.720 And I broke this guy on in three places trying 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.759 to tackle me. So like I'm saying, if you're gonna 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.160 come up there to be mentioned trying to be half stepping, 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.960 I'm gonna crack something on you five hours. And I 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.760 really believe that after watching football a day, I'll say this, 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.640 after watching football today, I don't think any of us 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.880 know what really is going on in the NFL. We 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.120 don't know who's the best team, who's going to be 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.440 the team is dominated or whatever. But I saw teams 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.280 today win games that I had no no thought that 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.840 they would win. I saw people lose that I thought 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.239 were going to be doing some things. So why not 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.280 think that our team would go out here and kick 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:23.079 somebody's ASDs. I mean, that's that's what I feel. I 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.560 really think that it's a point now where it's not 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.600 about what people think. It's about what you You enforced, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.960 you may happen on people. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.520 That's how you gotta get it done. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:39.119 So I think when you're talking about Monday Night experiences, 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.840 I don't have nothing against Cincinnati, but you all know 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:52.600 the Money Night. I hate bringing it up because you 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:53.560 don't bring it up. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:54.040 We love it. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.560 Y'all make me feel that it's the only thing I 0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:00.000 ever did in my career. But it's okay because it's 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.720 it's okay. It's okay because I take that because I understand. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.440 We all know. You know what I mean, We all know. 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.079 But I got to think, you know, when it comes 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.880 to Monday Night, you know that game will always stand 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.440 out for me, you know. Just that was my first 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.840 year here with the team, my second game with the team, 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.240 and we was up in Dallas, and the Money Night 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.440 miracle is what it's talked about now. Most of the 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.359 people stamped me as the cowboy killer because of that night. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.240 And not only because of that night, but every week, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.880 every time I saw these guys the next time that year, 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.760 I had a big performance. Every year it was like 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.360 the same type of you know, you know, I guess 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:41.680 you can say outcome. But we're talking about the Cincinnati Bengals, 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.920 and I think it's gonna be one of those games 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.200 that we want to see this team go out here 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.400 and flourish and beat the team that we want. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:49.840 It's still early. 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.680 I think it's still early in our season and we 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.480 don't know what to expect from this team. I think 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.280 every week we're gonna see this team growing become the 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.280 team that we wanted to be. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.920 But I'm looking forward to seeing, hopefully. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.560 Somebody can rewrite the things that I did back in 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:04.160 those days. 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.440 In five this money man, you know it said command 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:07.920 his family. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.360 We know you guys are in the building, but for 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.680 those watching, we want to tweet you guys. Want you 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.920 guys to tweet us and ask us questions. Ashtag raise hell, 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.640 ask us y'all questions, So be Mischanitana can answer You'll 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.560 questions live and of course, we'll try to field y'all 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.679 questions in here as well. My lovely producer Maddy Betton 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.719 get for she will be on there making sure she 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.000 gets y'all questions and all of that. Now, Tana, you 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.760 always showed up for these big games from the big 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:32.279 prime moments. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.479 But it is their added pressure on prime time. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.800 I don't think it's added pressure, don't get me wrong. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.920 So we all feel the pressure as a player. You'll 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.280 be lying if you tell somebody that, man, there's no pressure. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.520 I'm gonna go out here and do what I do. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.279 We feel it, and I'm one of those guys that 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.440 failed it the most all. But I think one of 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:49.880 the things that you have to do as a player. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.000 And I'm not sure if Brian, but I'm I think 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.279 so because I feel like this guy. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:54.280 He's on the. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.040 Same vibe or wavelength and I'm on when it comes 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.560 to how we do things. But I would always tell 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.520 myself to calm down. You know what I'm saying, look 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.520 at this as any other game. Don't don't take this 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.160 game and make it bigger than any other game. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.680 You know what I mean. We haven't. This ain't the 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:11.920 NFC Championship. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.400 This ain't the Super Bowl, so don't look at this 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.400 game as no special than a regular Sunday game at 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.279 one o'clock. And I would tell myself that all the time, 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.160 just to keep myself neutral. And at the same time, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.240 I would tell myself also that hey, look, you have 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.080 a job to take care of. And if you get 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.000 yourself too caught up into the lights and the whole that. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.320 Dun dun, dun dumb. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.680 If you allow that to get in affected you, then 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.760 you're not going to be yourself. So I would tell 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.680 myself all the time, let the game flow to me, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.599 and that it wasn't on Monday night, it was every 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.880 time I stepped on that field. So that's what I 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.159 would tell the guys going into this game. Allowed the 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.719 game to flow to you. You feel me and be me. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.160 She's talking about pressure situations. Man, that first home game 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.400 for Jayden, Damils and Dan Quinn, that was a lot of. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.320 Pressure, but we got the w. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.839 What did you see from that New York Giants matchup 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:02.440 where we got that win that you want to see 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:03.200 on Monday night? 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.040 Well it wasn't exactly how they plan it, but you 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.640 got it. The whole goal is you plan to win 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.960 you don't know how it's gonna go. Like like like 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.000 you know, we see movies and you have a plan now, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.839 sequence of things that happen for an outcome. But when 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.839 you see reality TV, you don't know what the hell 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.440 is gonna happen. And football is the first reality TV. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.039 And I think when you get you go, I'm gonna 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.839 take it back to college. You studying for a test, 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.560 you don't do anything. You wait till the night before, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.560 you study real hard the night before. You really don't 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.120 know what the hell you're doing. You fluck the tests. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.800 But if you've been working all semester and you get 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.200 that test, you pass it. Why because you put something 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.720 into it. Football is no different than that. So if 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.760 I am putting the work in week in, week out, 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.240 that week big time, when the game comes along, nothing 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.560 is surprising to me. Nothing is overwhelming to me. I 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.320 play quarterback at South West Louisiana. When I got to 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.880 the NFL return of kicks and punts, you think I 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.200 cared about who was swimming out coming down to tackle me. 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.320 All I cared about was I got the ball in 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.520 my hand, and I'm a badass man with the balls 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.960 in my hand. And then I ran the ball like 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.640 I've always done in my life. So I think the 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.559 whole thing about is we as fans and as media people, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.400 we put pressure on players that are not there that player. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.920 If you are a true competitor. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:33.000 You shouldn't be overwhelmed by nothing in football nothing. I'm 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.000 being honest with you. I changed from a position of 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.720 glory to a position where I used to say they 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.320 are crazy as hell to be doing that. And I 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.320 became to love it. Why because I put work into 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:48.960 it and I knew it was gonna get something out 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.480 of it. Because I wasn't afraid of nobody coming down 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.880 and the tackle me. I was afraid of nobody gonna 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.440 come down and talking to me, because you know what 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.080 I had prepared. I lift weights. I'm gonna be the 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.080 guy that's gonna inflict pain on you, not on me. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.720 And I think that's what football is all about right now. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.400 And I think we got enough guys on this team 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.320 right now. We got a young team, okay, and I 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.960 think we all expect we always expect the highest, but 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.080 we need to let them grow a little bit. We 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.320 got we got a bunch of little pupils. We need 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.680 to grow to be some grown men, and when they 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.880 get to be grown men, we're gonna be cheering for 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.200 a long time. So the thing about it right now 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:31.040 is now, it's not about what happens exactly tomorrow. It's 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.280 about what they build for it to happen for the 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.040 next five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten years, because I 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.520 think everybody wants to see us get to a point 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.800 where every year we're in the playoff where we have 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.600 a chance to go to the dance. If we keep 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.760 going out, we were going we can't go to the dance. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.960 How we're going now, that's gonna be a chance, I think. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.480 And I'm not gonna tell you five years, six and no, 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:54.240 next two, three years. 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.120 I'm talking about this one in it too. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.640 Tomorrow next year is one the following we should be 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.280 competing for the playoffs. And we're getting the playoffs, then 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.240 you never know what's gonna happen, because nobody became prom 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.120 queen without being invited to the prom. 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:08.760 Let's just be real. 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.120 Let's give around the falls for these guys right here. Man, 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.040 let's give it up all right now. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.520 Since we got this family vibe, I'm gonna ask I'm 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.040 gonna go off script a little bit what y'all walks 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.160 off offensive defense first? 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.319 What y'all thinking offense first? 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.080 We got some offensive dogs here, We've got press all 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:23.959 offensive first. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.280 Well, we're gonna talk officers, talk about Jade and Daniels. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.200 That's what we're all here to see, right Jaden dais 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.120 who had showed out those first two weeks. What do 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.000 you want to see from Jaden Daniels as he faces 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.120 his first prime time mansion with gets a really tough 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.080 sen Scnati Bagels team. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.760 I mean, you know, one of the things that stand 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.880 out to me is just progression. I think every week 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.280 he's gonna get a chance to get more acclimated into 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:44.960 what he's seeing. 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:45.679 Uh. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.880 You know, one of the things we hear a lot 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.520 about it is, uh. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.960 You know, the development of these guys, these players that's 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.480 out here, and I want to see him develop more. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.480 But I think he surprised a lot of people with 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.960 his how paid he is, how not phased he is. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.040 You know what I mean, if you watch him play football, 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.600 I'm pretty sure all you guys have seen Jayden. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.440 You know, rather you was in you know, in Northwest 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.720 Stadium or watching them on TV. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.880 Things don't really make him. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.720 Rattle and that's one of the things you want to 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.640 see from a guy. I've had young quarterbacks. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:22.360 I played with him. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.040 I understood how when certain things happen in that pocket, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:27.920 you know what I mean, they jumped the gun and 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.640 do something else. I've watched him and I'm seeing him 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.240 this guy here staying on script. He's staying on script. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:34.760 So one of the things I want to see him 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:39.560 Jaden just progressively grow every week. I think every rep 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.040 he gets is going to allow him to settle even more. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.000 You watch, you watch him from week one to week two, 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.200 you saw different. You saw a tremendous change. You saw 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.600 him settle down a little bit. Week one, I felt 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.880 like he rushed things at times, he didn't want to 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.000 force things at times. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.160 Then we through they told him like, look here, you have. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.760 A chance, you have a land, you have a you 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.839 have a you have a hold of here or to it. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.280 You can throw that ball in and then he did that. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.440 So I think every rep is going to allow him to, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.440 you know, mature and be the quarterback they want him 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.280 to be. And that's all I want to see from 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.000 You know, you could put it, you could put win 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.720 losses on it, but I think as long as he's 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.800 progressed in the right direction, the teams at the good 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.240 state and be mitched. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.600 The Bengals have held both of their opponents to under 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.680 three hundred total passing yards in their first two weeks. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.000 How can we get the ball moving through the air. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.280 I think a lot of people have seen how great 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:31.439 we've been with the rushing game right. A lot of 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.480 people have loved to see Jadon Daniels out there running, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.600 But we want to see more aerial movement. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:36.840 How do we throw the ball a little more of 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:37.200 this game? 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.520 But I just think that they have to establish the 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.080 run first. And we know we have Brian Robinson, a maniac. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.000 We have Austin Echler, who's the guy. You can question 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.640 him all you want. That guy's a badass in this league. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.360 And I think if you establish that then you can 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.720 now begin to take the shots down the field. But ultimately, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.440 we see Jaden, we know what he's about, and forget 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.959 about how you play football, You run the football. You 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.360 established I just did the Howard Hampton game yesterday and 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.560 I talked to these coaches. They were talking about how 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.520 they gonna be aggressive down the field. An they ran 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.439 the hell out the football and the team that every 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.720 team that was running the ball effectively got the momentum. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.880 So Cliff Kingsbury has been tiled as a guy who 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.319 runs the air raid offense. He runs the ball, so 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.560 I think what has happened to us is fans, commanders, fans, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.679 we heard he runs the air raids, so we just 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.720 want to see the ball thrown down the field. We 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.600 won three Super Bowls and four tries with Joe Gibbs. 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.080 You know how we won that run the damn football, 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.719 and Cliff Kingsbury wants to run the football. So if 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.160 he keeps running the football, and Jaydon Dais is a 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.400 running quarterback, who know he's a passing quarter who could run, 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.240 I want to make sure I correct that all of 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.319 a sudden when he throws the ball, he's throwing to 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.040 one on one matchup open windows instead of having all 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.280 the people back deep because that runs established and he 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.480 also has a threat as a runner. So they're working 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.920 this thing in the right direction. And I know we've 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.720 dealt with twenty some years of futility for a while, 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.200 but let's give this group a little chance because I 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.280 think they're building a great foundation. I got a house 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.440 that been there now since nineteen ninety three. My house 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.199 ain't falling, you know why, because the foundation was great. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.839 Don't rush the foundation. We rush the foundation, we've got 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.839 a problem later on. If they build it right, it's 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:46.320 gonna be like this. Teams that you look at the Ravens, Stillers, 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.400 Kansas City, Philadelphia, they're always good. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.120 Why because they have built their things. 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.000 They're founding so great to where when they built, when 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.000 they draft, somebody did one year, three years later they 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.400 in their prime. And it rotates like that instead of 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.160 like Dan used to do, I'm gonna go get eight 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.800 free agents, spend all my money and we can't compete. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.880 We do it for a year, then next year we 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.800 can't compete. We don't want that. We want to be 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:16.320 cheering for our team. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.880 Every year and Tannada be missus point. We are six 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.400 in the NFL in rushing, which is wild to think 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.160 about after the season we had last year. Brian Robinson 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.600 Junior showing that he's not just you know, a work course. 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.000 He could do everything. Man, he's every down back. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.480 How have you liked seeing him? 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.720 You utilize so much more improve that he's one of 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:33.960 the best backs in the NFL. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.960 Well, you know, It's crazy because coming to this season, 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:43.480 just understanding what I've saw from history with Cliffs Kingsbury offense, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.920 people get so enamored with just the passing game and 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.920 how it spread. You know, it's a spread offense. He's 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:54.360 gonna spread everything out. I saw his offenses, you know, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.320 pay so much attention to the running backs. Guys like 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.280 Connor come in there and have magnificence. And I'm saying 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.840 to myself, like, this is gonna be the offense for. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.360 B Rob to get off. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.520 You know, last year we were sitting there chopping at 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.760 the bits for b Rob, wondering why he wasn't getting 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.360 the attempts, wondering why he wasn't getting the yardage that 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:14.240 we know he can get. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.040 And when Cliff came. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.400 In here, a lot of people probably said, oh man, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.840 you know they brought in you know Edckler, Now you 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.400 know what this you know what would this look like 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.000 for b Rob? But I was saying to myself, like things, 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.000 Finna look nice, It's fella look grife in the back 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.120 you know, in that backfield, Just knowing that now you 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.840 have a veteran that has been around the bush, that 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.040 has he know who it takes to be in this league. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.280 Now he can bring a little bit of something to 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.480 be Rob's game and finally be Robs get a clean 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.920 bill of health where he can go into the season 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.760 injury free, not putting all the other stuff that he 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.640 went through a year one and year two behind him, 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:51.840 and really go out there and attack what he got 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.360 in front of him. And I'm not surprised at what 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.680 I'm seeing from this guy. I know he can do it. 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.880 I hope they get him in more of a rhythm. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:00.800 If you think about it too, years ago when we 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.680 beat the Philadelphia Eagles when they was riding high, b 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:04.840 Robb was the guy. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.240 That ran the ball and ran the air out the 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:08.640 ball on those guys. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.560 So if you take a little bit of what he's 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.880 shown us before, this is the kind of style of 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.120 office we can play behind him when we need to. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.440 You understand, we don't have to do that all the 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.160 time because of what we have as the offensive coordinator 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.240 and what he can do with the guys on the outside. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.760 But went in doubt. Now you add an Elkler in 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.240 that and with b Robb, those guys can run the 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.360 air out of the football. So I'm not going to 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.880 see here and say I'm impressed, I'm happy that we 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:35.840 find a way to make sure that this guy is 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.560 a vital point of our offense. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.960 And commanded his fans to tannis point we've rushed over 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.160 thirty times each week. 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.640 We did not do that one time last season, which 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.880 is wild to think about. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:48.920 We are getting be robbed the ball and of course 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.360 a big part of that is Austin Eckler as well, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:53.440 the fact that he is a number one back. When 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:54.640 it says, you know what, I want to take a 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.480 different type of role. I want to be that team 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.560 player and help a guy like b Robb. Howe you 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.960 like seeing how Cliff Kingsbury. You's the guy like Austin 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.240 ecause it's not just catching, he's ranning between the tackles. 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.240 He's done a little bit of everything. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.040 Well, football is all about confidence, it's all about belief, 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:14.320 and people questioned Austin necklace ability. What makes you want 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.080 to show them what you're about? And when you get 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.879 an Arsin neckro on your team, guy who's been great 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.480 for six seven years in the league, got hurt last year, 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.160 had a down year, but put his numbers against people 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.040 that had great years, he had as good a year 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.440 as they did. And then he he rolls in here 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:35.840 as a guy who was undrafted ye players small college, 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.080 became the guy at a team and who happens to 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.280 be playing for a team who the running back coaches 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.920 his former head coach think the head coach, I know 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.000 a little bit about what he can do. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.919 Then you have a guy on your team. 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:57.480 And Brian Robertson who was shot and fought back and 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.840 was playing in five six weeks, guy who came from 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:06.600 a program in Alabama, who's unbelievable, who I think is 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:11.120
