<v Speaker 2>computer by subscribing wherever you get your podcasts. It's the

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>greatest thing since the elimination of toll booths. As you

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 2>probably know, I spend quite a bit of time on

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the road, and one thing that's made life easier is

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>open road tolling. Instead of stopping to pay tolls and

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>wondering which lane you have to go through, now more

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and more states have what's known as open road tolling,

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 2>where cameras take pictures of your license plate and payments

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>get done automatically. It saves time, it saves stress, and

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>if open road tolling had existed in the Godfather, it

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>would have saved Sonny Corleone. Now let's get to football,

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and the radio replays from Sunday's win in Cleveland. Here

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>comes Hopkins. He swings the leg and thwack. We are underway.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Jones catches right at the goal line and runs

0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>it out farside Newmos twenty twenty five. Tonight, only the

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>kicker can tack him.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>He failed to do it.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Jones down the sideline twenty ten hot time for

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the path on touchdown.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Jones, who.

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Had a putt return touchdown as a rookie last year

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>against Baltimore, takes it one hundred yards for a game

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>opening score. Eleven year vet Dustin Hopkins is the kicker

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>for the Cleveland Browns. This will be a forty nine

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>yard attempt. He made a fifty nine yarder during pregame

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>warm ups. The Browns trying to get on the board

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>midway through the first quarter. Now the forty nine yard

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>field goal try. The snaff, the placement, the right footed kick.

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a high.

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Spinning mendover Ren kick and it goes wide. Loan, I'm

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.559
<v Speaker 2>third and four. He'll look to throw. Here comes Henrickson.

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>He's got him first sack of the day for big

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 2>play tray his sixth of the year, and the Browns.

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Will puning away.

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Thompson Robinson under center, lined up in the eye behind him.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Fourth and goal from inside the one to toss to

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the left. Nick Chubb spins into the end zone for

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the Cleveland touchdown. Here's Dustin Hopkins looking to tie the

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>game with fifty six seconds remaining in the first half.

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>The snap, the placement, and the kick.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 3>No, it is no good about it.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So Hopkins, who missed a forty nine yard field goal

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 2>try in the first quarter, misses the pat with fifty

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>six seconds left in the second quarter, and the Bengals

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>lead at seven to six, second down and five at

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>the eighteen yard line of Cleveland yoc Boss checks in

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>for sample. He goes in motion from left to right,

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Burrow back to throw passes toward the pole on caught

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Jamar Chase touchdown. Bengals Jamar Chase with a six touchdown

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>catch this season. Thompson Robinson fakes a hand off passes

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 2>over the mill, knocked up in the air and it

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>is picked up by Sam Hubbard at the forty two

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>yard line. Hubbard dropping back in coverage. The pass was

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>deflected straight up in the air and Hubbard showed off

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>his leaping abilities. He went up and grabbed the ball

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>one forty left in the third It's third down for

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals.

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Third down and four.

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Burrow catches the shotgun snap throws caught by Higgins running

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>to the tams five touchdownwn Bengals t Higgins high stepping

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>it into the end zone and now he tosses the

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>ball high into the air as he looks into the

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>dog pound. After that touchdown grab Third down and eight

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 2>at the Cincinnati forty six, Thomson Robinson catches the protection

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>is good. He fires deep downfield, intercepted at the twenty

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>and the Bengals are running it back Gino Stone to

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>midfield down to the forty of Cleveland. The thirty five

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 2>cuts back and gets tackled at the thirty So the

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>AFC leader in interceptions last year has his first in

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>a Bengals uniform and Cincinnati takes over with four h

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>three to go, third and goal from the nine clock,

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>running one thirty four to go, shotgun snap Winston back

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>all the way back to the nineteen. Lobs it into

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the end zone and it is caught on the back

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>line of the end zone for a Cleveland touchdown by Najoku.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Hopkins puts the ball on the tee the slight angle

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 2>at the thirty five, slightly toward the right side of

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 2>the field. His body is aimed toward the right side.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Andre Yosi Vash is over there for the Bengals. Here's

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the approach now. He switches sides, kicks it to the

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>left and it's crabbed by Gasiki. He's got the football

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and that is coffin nails.

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 3>I am bam bam and that took a for two

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>of us bounce.

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 4>That second bounce went airborne and it was an easy

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 4>play for Kasiki to make.

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Burrow takes the snap.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>He takes a knee, he tosses the ball to the

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>nearest fifth MI and the two teams begin heading toward

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the field. The Cincinnati Bengals have won

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 2>two in a row and three out of the last four.

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>They beat the Cleveland Browns here in Cleveland by the

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>final score of twenty one to fourteen. Two Bengals left

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the game with leg injuries, Orlando Brown Junior and Geno Stone,

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 2>and in Stone's case, he was taken off the field

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>on a cart with an air cast on his left leg. However,

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the news coming out of the locker room after the

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>game was encouraging. It sounds like neither players expected to

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>miss a significant period of time. Brown's quarterback Deshan Watson,

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 2>on the other hand, is likely out for the rest

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>of the year with an achilles injury. It marks the

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 2>third straight year he's played less than half a season,

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and DeShawn didn't play at all the year before that.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland still owes him ninety two million dollars over the

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 2>next two years, and it's all guaranteed. Now, let's take

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>you inside the locker room. The play of the day

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>was the game's first play, the one hundred yard kickoff

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>return touchdown by Charlie Jones, as he became the third

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 2>player in the league to take one to the house

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>under the new kickoff format, and Charlie's one hundred yard

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 2>runback is the longest in the NFL this year. He

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>ran a kickback for a touchdown for IOWA in twenty

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, and I talked to Chuck Sizzle after the game.

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 5>The game began with a one hundred yard kickoff return

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 5>touchdown by Charlie Jones. Describe that one, Charlie, because I

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 5>noticed Drew Sample is then there with you.

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure we've seen him line up in that spot.

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, first, first and foremost. God is good

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, you're right, if we put Drew back there

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.559
<v Speaker 6>for the first time, it couldn't have been a better

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 6>block kick play. Like Drew made a great block. The

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 6>hole is huge and really like I really didn't have

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 6>to do much. Everybody did their job and it was awesome,

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 6>a great call by Darren and and uh, just a

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 6>good feeling to be back in the end zone.

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Is that exactly how that return is drawn up?

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 6>Exactly exactly how Darren drew it up. You know, a

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 6>middle return if I get through there, take it back

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 6>right exactly how he told me it was gonna be,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 6>and everybody just did their job.

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 5>The Bengals did not score a toups down here in

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 5>Cleveland last year. What kind of left do you think

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 5>it gave the team to have a seven to nothing

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 5>lead twelve seconds into the game.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think it's something that we talked about coming

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 6>into the game, like we need a smart right away.

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 6>We know there's gonna be loud here.

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, the bands were gonna come out you know,

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of energy, and we talked about.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 6>All week in special teams that we gotta be the smart.

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, we don't we have a few plays, but

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 6>the players that we do.

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Get, we got to capitalize on them.

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what we did.

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 5>Visiting the Charlie Jones, I think you're at a thirty

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 5>one years kick gens last week at gets to the Giants.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.359
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like that role is suiting you because.

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 6>In the past we mostly seen he was a Yeah,

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 6>I mean this is something that I did in college, uh,

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 6>you know, from from even when I was back at Buffalo.

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 6>So uh, it's something I like doing, something I'm comfortable

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 6>with and uh, something I hope to continue to do here.

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 5>You've had several buff returns as well today, including one

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 5>that went for a pretty sick empick in the game.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 5>It seems like this is the way that you can

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 5>really contribute to this.

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Feat right now.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, you know, however you can, you can

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.119
<v Speaker 6>do it. You know, if it's if it's on special.

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 7>Teams, then let's go.

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm ready for it.

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I just want to help the team.

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 5>I know I can help the team, and I think.

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 6>We're doing a good job. There's definitely a lot more

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 6>out there for me, especially as more return guys are

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 6>blocking great.

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, I need to be better than that end.

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think, uh, there's a lot of potential with

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the special teams. You know, you're three and four with

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the win, You've got a victory in the AFC North.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Now what does this victory do for the team?

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 5>This is huge.

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean we needed this.

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean anytime we come coming especially here to Cleveland,

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 6>uh and leave with a win, that's massive division game.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 3>I think this.

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 6>You know, we're just gonna keep rolling, just keep stacking

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 6>on stacking good weeks.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I think this is the turnaround that

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 3>we needed final question.

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 5>What did your teammate say to you when you came

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 5>to the sideline after that one hundred yard run back?

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh there were punds.

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's it's special to have, you know, guys.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Every week, even when you know I'm struggling back.

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>There a little bit, they say, you know.

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 8>This is the week, this is the week.

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Are they believe in me?

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>And you know, you know it happened this week and.

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Everyone was excited.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.319
<v Speaker 6>I just got really good teammates and you know, I

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of goodoids on this team.

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>It was fun to watch. Congrats on the team.

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 7>Thank you appreciating.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Charlie skick return helped the Bengals win on another day

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 2>where the offense was okay but not great. After only

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 2>scoring two touchdowns on Sunday night against the Giants, the

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Bengals offense only scored two against the Browns on a

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>pair of third quarter touchdown passes by Joe Burrow. The

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Bengals are actually averaging two and a half fewer points

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.559
<v Speaker 2>in their three wins than they are in their four losses.

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's fine by Burrow.

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 7>We played two really good defense defenses back to back weeks.

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 7>Good front's good secondary, good coaching, and so we found

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 7>ways to win. You know, I don't really everybody's talking

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 7>about how good our offense was for the first four

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 7>weeks whatever it was, and we were one in three,

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 7>so that's obviously not ideal. I'd rather be everyone talking

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 7>about how we didn't execute it on offense and win

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 7>two games in a row, then the other way around.

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Joe finished fifteen for twenty five for one hundred and

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>eighty one yards, with two touchdowns, no picks, and a

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.439
<v Speaker 2>passer rating of one oh eight point nine. He's now

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:48.079
<v Speaker 2>second in the NFL in passer rating, behind Detroit's Jared Goff,

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 2>who's had a rating of one forty or higher in

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 2>three straight games. He's the fourth quarterback in history to

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 2>do that. The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you

<v Speaker 2>he spent a few minutes with Dave Lapham after the game.

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 4>So here with Bengals head coach Zach Taylor, and congratulations coach,

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 4>Division win, conference win on the road, Sweet sugar.

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 8>Feels good. You know it's defense did a great job, man.

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 8>I think that they really deserve a lot of credit

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 8>for keeping us in there. And so they're in the

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 8>second half. Offense was able to get those two scoring drives.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 8>Credits Charlie and the kickoff return team for the big

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 8>spark at the beginning of the game. And as you

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 8>know in this division, just find a way to win

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 8>and get home, you know. And that's I think that's

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 8>what our guys figured out how to do today.

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 4>You never want to see like what happened to Shaun Watson.

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 4>They said that was an achilles injury, and those are

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 4>never never good that you know. When you see the

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 4>whole team come out in the foot ball field and

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 4>gather around a guy, that's never a good sign.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 8>It's so fun these guys that put in the work, man,

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.679
<v Speaker 8>and and you go into the you go into the

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 8>stadium like this man, and and you got to lead

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 8>a team, and so to go down with an injury

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 8>like that. It's tough and it's hard to watch.

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 4>What about Cody Ford stepping up for Orlando Brown. I mean,

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 4>you always you always know that you've got somebody and

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 4>you always wonder how will it turn out when he

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 4>has to step up?

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 3>He stepped up.

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he certainly happy for Cody. They went in there

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 8>and took the most of the opportunity. That's a tough matchup,

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 8>you know, you go in there and you got a

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 8>block arguably the best rusher in football. And Miles Garrett

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 8>so proud of Cody for for just the calmness that

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 8>he had. And we tried to help him where we could,

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 8>but there were some times he was one on one

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 8>he held his own and I'll just get the playoff

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 8>and that was good stuff.

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you guys, Miles Garrett stat sheet isn't isn't that overwhelming?

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean I thought you guys kind of neutralize and

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 4>controls him pretty darn well.

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 8>We got our eyes on him on every single play.

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 8>I don't know what his statue is, but it sure

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 8>feels like you're you're staring at him, making sure he's

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 8>on the side of lins. Where's the line up, what

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 8>size he on? What did you do on the last play,

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 8>and he takes a lot of time and energy as

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 8>you're planning for him and as you're scheming for him.

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 8>And great player.

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 4>That's a good defensive football team. I mean, their d

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 4>line is more than solid. In the back end. Those

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 4>guys are sticky, man, It's unbelievable. And it looked like

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 4>in the first half they were run some combination coverages

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 4>and doing some things changed and some things up.

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Was it?

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 4>Did you have to talk it over at halftime and

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 4>make some adjustments to look like you made some Oh?

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 8>We just I think we all just need to take

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 8>a deep breath and find a way to create some momentum. Offense.

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 8>Got that stop on fourth and two that gave us

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 8>some momentum. And really that's all I said at halftime.

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 8>Let's get the momentum, let's keep the momentum, let's keep

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 8>it away from them. And that's how we started the

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 8>second half. So it's proud of probably those guys in

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 8>all three phases.

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 4>What did you think, other than obviously the kickoff return

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 4>to start the football game, you wanted to get off

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 4>to a good start because you know that crowd was

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 4>going to be empty. They've been on the road for

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 4>three straight games, you know, and chubbs back and all

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 4>those kind of things. For you guys to take the

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 4>wind out of their sales with that kickoff returned. That

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 4>was just what the doctor ordered, wouldn't it.

0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 8>There's no better way to start, you know, really to

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 8>create that opportunity for your defense to go out there

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 8>with the lead right out the gate. I thought it

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 8>was big time. So that was a great momentum by

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 8>Charlie and the kickoff return team and Darren and that

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 8>was good to see.

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 4>What'd you think about the running game today?

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 8>There was a couple one offs there where we were

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 8>just maybe one block away at different positions for more opportunity,

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 8>but tried our best to stick with it to give

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 8>ourselves some and we got a couple of big chunks

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 8>there ten yard games that created spark on some of

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 8>those scoring drives. And so it's not always going to

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 8>be super pretty, but defense gave us anough opportunity to

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 8>stick with it and try to grind it out and

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 8>get some good field position.

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Joe Burrow now is fourteen touchdown passes, six of them

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 4>to Jamar, three of them to Tea. I mean that

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 4>trio continued to play at a super high level for you,

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 4>don't they Yeah.

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 8>I wouldn't trade them for anybody that says it all.

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 8>That's all I need to say.

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Coach, appreciate it, Thanks as always for visiting. Big win

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 4>for the Bengals. Anytime you could come to Cleveland and

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 4>win a football game, it's a good thing. Believe me, I.

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Didn't know that until now.

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 8>I'll take it up.

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Next for the Bengals a home game against the Philadelphia Eagles,

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>who are four and two after beating the New York

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Giants on Sunday twenty eight to three. Saquon Barkley ran

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred and seventy six yards on seventeen carries

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 2>against his former team, and the Eagles defense had eight

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 2>sacks in that game. Now time for the radio guys recap.

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 5>Lap.

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 2>As you said after the game, it was gritty more

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>than pretty, but they came to Cleveland and they got

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a win for the first time in seven tries.

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was gritty, grimy, whatever you want to call it.

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 4>But you know they found a way to get it done.

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 4>And really, if not for special teams, I mean, score

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 4>a touchdown, twenty yard return, give some good field position.

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was a big factor, you know, in

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 4>the football game, in a game like this, to control

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 4>field position to the level that they did. I mean

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 4>it was like thirteen possessions. It's like one hundred and

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 4>fifty four yards in hidden yards. In terms of the field,

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 4>there's a thirteen yards average drive star times whatever number

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 4>of possessions. And you know, you in a game like

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 4>this to have one hundred and fifty hidden yards to

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 4>your advantage in terms of that in short fields for you,

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 4>long fields for you, the opponent makes a difference, has

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 4>a wear and tear on you.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of people, myself included, tend to

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 2>think of a kick return as just a great play

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.199
<v Speaker 2>by the return man as opposed to.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>A real play with a scheme and a plan.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.359
<v Speaker 2>And this was very much executed exactly the way they

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 2>drew it up and practiced it absolutely.

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.680
<v Speaker 4>I talked to Darren in the postgame and I said,

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 4>this was a little bit different, a little bit new

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.560
<v Speaker 4>with drew sample leading up in there. He goes, yeah,

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, we put that in and it just worked,

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 4>worked a perfection. I can't complain about it. And I

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 4>mean he's got a friendly rivalry going with the special

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.440
<v Speaker 4>teams coach up here in Cleveland. They're pretty good friends

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 4>as well, as you know, both are assistant head coaches

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 4>and special teams coaches, and they have a heavy dose

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:10.720
<v Speaker 4>of respect for each other. So I think Darren got

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 4>this one with that kickoff return. And then unfortunately, you know,

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 4>Cleveland's kicker misses a field goal and an extra point.

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Bengals missed a field goal to kind offset that a

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.360
<v Speaker 4>little bit, but you know, it was one of those

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 4>games where every single point mattered and when you didn't

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 4>get them, it was a concern. But that kickoff return

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 4>to start the game like well, like we talked about,

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.400
<v Speaker 4>they'd come off the road, three straight in the road,

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 4>so the fans were ready. Chubbs back fans are ready.

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 4>Best thing to do quiet them down. One hundred yard

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.360
<v Speaker 4>kickoff return touchdown serves the trick right there, and it gave.

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 2>The offense the opportunity to make adjustments and figure out

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a way to get something done against the Browns. They

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't score offensively in the first half, but after tweaking

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 2>some things, they got a couple of big touchdown passes.

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.920
<v Speaker 4>In the second they did I mean, neither team ran

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 4>the ball you know, really worth to lick. Bengals had

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 4>two and a two point four yards per carry on

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 4>twenty five chances at it. And you take away Robinson's

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 4>run Thompson Robinson, which you can't do. I mean, he

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 4>got it, but that one was kind of a little

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 4>trickeration as such. And the rest of the carries twenty

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.360
<v Speaker 4>carries for forty three yards for Cleveland. I mean, even

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 4>with that big carry at three point seven per so

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 4>it turned into you know, who was gonna, you know,

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 4>make more play Both neither team really had. The big

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.680
<v Speaker 4>play was not a constant for either football team. The

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 4>Bengals longest played from scrimmage was twenty five yards. They

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 4>had twenty five yard played twenty two and twenty one.

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Cleveland had the thirty four yard run we talked about

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.919
<v Speaker 4>the Thompson Robinson. Then they had twenty five yard completion

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 4>from Winston, and then Washington had a completion for twenty

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 4>one yards.

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 3>That was it.

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 4>Both teams had three plays of twenty yards more and

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 4>in the National Football League. In today's National Football League,

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of rare to have a defensive Slobrinarco likely

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 4>w here.

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.479
<v Speaker 2>The Browns are one and six they haven't scored more

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.959
<v Speaker 2>than eighteen points in a game this season. I think

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 2>they'll probably score more with Jamis Winston at quarterback going forward.

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 2>I still think that's the best defense in the league.

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 4>I can't argue with you, Dan. I mean, man, you know,

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 4>they did a pretty good job neutralizing Miles Garrett. But

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:22.159
<v Speaker 4>everybody just does their job, you know, and Miles Garrett

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 4>will flash and make like a huge play. But even

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 4>if he doesn't, everybody's where they're supposed to be when

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.719
<v Speaker 4>they're supposed to be. They're doing exactly what they're supposed

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 4>to do. That defensive front is hard to move around.

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:35.160
<v Speaker 4>I think the back end that's as good as secondary

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:36.679
<v Speaker 4>as you going to see. I mean, it's like they

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 4>just they just cover everybody up. It's amazing. I mean

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 4>you have to work hard to make plays against that group.

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 4>And you know, there's familiarity there. Cleveland has familiarity with

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati and vice versa. It's I think it's always going

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 4>to be this grimy, gritty, you know type football game.

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 2>We know how good Denzel Ward is, Martin Emerson's almost

0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 2>as good. He's great on the other side as well

0:20:58.760 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 2>he is, And.

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 4>You know there's safe play. Well, yeah, it's well put

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.160
<v Speaker 4>together and Schwartz is creative. I mean in the first half,

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, talking to Zach, they did run some combination coverages,

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 4>mix things up that had the Bengals a little bit

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.360
<v Speaker 4>but fuddled. But they did make some adjustments at halftime

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 4>and come out and make some plays and get some

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 4>things done. But I mean, that's a well put together,

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 4>well coached defensive football team at every level you can

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 4>think of. And you know, only scored fourteen points against him. Really,

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, the special team's touchdown was the difference in

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 4>the football game.

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:36.920
<v Speaker 2>As a former O lineman, how much do you appreciate

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Cody Ford's performance playing on the left side, which he

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>mostly hasn't done in the NFL. He did in college,

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 2>but he's mostly been right guard right tackle in the NFL,

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 2>and then coming in at left tackle against Miles Garrett

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 2>in Cleveland.

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 4>Big time respect for Cody Ford, big time respect. They

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 4>helped him some, you know, they would chip with the

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 4>back or do it, but he had a lot of

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 4>one on ones man and he more than held his own.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.920
<v Speaker 4>I thought that they overall did a very very good

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 4>job of controlling Miles Garrett throughout the entire football game.

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 4>He didn't put up, you know, any huge numbers, and

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 4>I can't think of, oh my gosh, you know Miles Garrett,

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 4>player that you see from time to time. They they

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:17.160
<v Speaker 4>kept him in a harness pretty well.

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 2>They've won two straight, they've won three out of four.

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 2>The only loss is when they botched the hold of

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a field goal attempt, or they would have a four

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 2>game winning streak and a good record at this point.

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Can we safely say they are back in the hunt?

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean i'd say that there's a lot of

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 4>meat left on the bone. I think they can play

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 4>a lot better than they did today. But defensively, I

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.560
<v Speaker 4>mean the last two weeks, twenty one points and eight quarters.

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, you can't sneeze at that's that's pretty good

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 4>effort right there. And then special teams contributed today. So

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 4>when offense had, you know, not its best day, defense

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 4>stepped up. Special team stepped up. Like we always talked

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:55.120
<v Speaker 4>about it. You have two of the three phases playing

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 4>at a pretty good level. You have a shot no

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 4>matter what those two of the three phases are. So

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 4>I think that, yeah, I think they've not reached their

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 4>pinnacle by any stretch. I think they're still climbing, but

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:09.239
<v Speaker 4>they're back in the hunt for sure. I mean they

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 4>get their first division win, first conference win on the

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 4>road in Cleveland, where they haven't won since twenty seventeen.

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot to celebrate there.

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Time to get their first home win.

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 3>You got that right.

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Maybe two in a row, get two wins back at

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 4>old pay Corps. How about putting two together. That'd be

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 4>sweet shug.

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.840
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals are three and one on the road and

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 2>would be four and oh if not for that fourth

0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and sixteen penalty at Kansas City. But they're zero to

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.879
<v Speaker 2>three at home. It's time to get a w in

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the jungle, as the Bengals will wear their white Bengal

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 2>helmet and uniform combo on Sunday against Philly. Cincinnati is

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 2>an early one and a half point favorite. Here's an

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.360

<v Speaker 2>Fact segment, where you get to know the person under

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:23.719
<v Speaker 2>the pads. Time for some fun facts of Bengals tight

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 2>end Eric All born and raised in the Cincinnati area.

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to start with a quote from your former

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 2>college coach at Michigan, Jim Harbaugh. He said, Eric's meant

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 2>to do great things. He's a dreamer.

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Is that true?

0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 2>And what did you dream of growing up?

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:42.880
<v Speaker 9>I guess that is true. I mean, I just love

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 9>playing a game. And I think at the time when

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 9>he said that, I don't think we were big yet,

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.680
<v Speaker 9>Like we hadn't made it to the playoffs yet. You know,

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 9>I just told the team a lot that we were

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.440
<v Speaker 9>going to, you know, win it all and you know,

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 9>and you know, beat Ohio State, wind Natti, beat Michigan

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 9>State and everything else.

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.320
<v Speaker 3>So so yeah, I think that's where that came from.

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Here's another quote from another coach, your former high school coach,

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Jason Krauss at Fairfield. He called you the hardest worker

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 2>he's had in his twenty eight years as a coach.

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you enjoy hard work?

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean It's definitely not easy, but I feel

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 9>like it makes her breaks like a lot of a

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:32.920
<v Speaker 9>lot of players, and you know, I feel like just

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.680
<v Speaker 9>the best part of the game is overcoming like the

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:41.240
<v Speaker 9>hard parts of the game, which is you know, you know, conditioning,

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 9>you know, hitting things like that, making plays in the

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:48.880
<v Speaker 9>you know, in the toughest situations, or like the biggest

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 9>part of the game.

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, we're visiting with Eric Hall. You're fortunate to

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 2>be alive. We discussed this before. When you were an infant,

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you were rescued from the second floor of a burning

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 2>home by Indiana firefighters. Do you remember when you learned

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:04.200
<v Speaker 2>about that?

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 3>No idea.

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:13.399
<v Speaker 9>My parents has always you know, told me, and I

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.199
<v Speaker 9>would hear them tell other people the story when they

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 9>ask about my wrists things like that, But I don't

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 9>remember exactly when I first found out.

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I've seen footage of the rescue. I imagine you have

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:28.919
<v Speaker 2>as well. The firefighter at the top of the ladder

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 2>breaks open the window and this thick, black smoke comes

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 2>pouring out. I don't think you would have lasted much longer.

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:42.200
<v Speaker 2>How has that impacted the way you view life?

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 9>Just, you know, not taking anything for granted, and you know,

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 9>just doing everything to the best of my ability. And

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 9>you know, not only that, I feel like my parents

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 9>have a big thing on you know, finishing what you start,

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 9>and you know, word is bond, being a man of

0:26:58.640 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 9>your word and.

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Things like that.

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 9>So I just I feel like just just coming from

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 9>you know, great great people, great parents, great family.

0:27:07.400 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's just been a part of me.

0:27:09.920 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I know, you've met the firefighter who pulled you out

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 2>of the home, Tom Broyles, and the emt that perform

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 2>mouth to mouth Sean Phoinis. Were those meetings emotional for

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you and your family?

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, of course. You know.

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 9>The first time I met Sean Phoenis was I think

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.439
<v Speaker 9>it was my twelfth or thirteenth birthday.

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, I quite didn't really understand yet.

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 9>But you know when I got when I got older

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 9>and met Tom Broyles and you know Sean Phoenis, you know,

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 9>it definitely hit hit me differently, differently. And you know

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:45.879
<v Speaker 9>when I first met Tom, you know, it was on

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 9>camera and everything else. I didn't like kind of show

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 9>my emotions, but they were definitely there.

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 2>We're visiting with Eric Hall. Let's turn to football. When

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 2>did you start to stand out as an athlete among

0:27:57.400 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 2>your peers.

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 9>I feel like I've always just been athletic and you know,

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.680
<v Speaker 9>just enjoying the games that I played. I played baseball, football,

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 9>basketball growing up, so you know, I felt like I

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 9>just just went out and played and had fun and

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 9>just did whatever I needed to do to win, and

0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 9>and I just ended up just being good.

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.439
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, that's the.

0:28:21.600 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 2>When did football become the sport for you?

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 9>I feel like that was the first sport I fell

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:31.399
<v Speaker 9>in love with. I mean, I'm probably definitely the first

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 9>and and like my favorite sport. But I started when

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 9>I was four, and you know, ever since then, you know,

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 9>it's always been, you know, just the love of my life.

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Really, you had a bunch of college options. You chose

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to attend Michigan. What was it about being a Wolverine

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 2>that appealed to you? Uh?

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.760
<v Speaker 9>Me being from Ohio, you know, I hated Ohio State.

0:28:55.480 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 9>And really when I went to Michigan, I just I

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 9>went in already liking them. I love, I loved the colors.

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 9>They were you know, Jordan, and but not only that,

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 9>Like when I when I got there, it was just

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 9>filled with like the facility was filled with just great

0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 9>people and you know, the atmosphere at the games were

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 9>very welcoming. The fans are welcoming, you know, the community

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 9>and arbor just welcome in. And you know, I just

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 9>fell in love with the place and believed in, you know,

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 9>the spirit. You know, they they hadn't beat Ohio statan years,

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 9>and you know, and then they had the Michigan State

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 9>rival and then not only that, just the you know,

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:37.120
<v Speaker 9>you could just feel the camaraderie and like the bond

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 9>that the team had, and you know, it was just

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:40.080
<v Speaker 9>a team that I wanted to be a part of.

0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Why did you hate Ohio State?

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 9>Well, you know, I grew up Abama fan, so and

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 9>they beat us in one of the games with Zeke

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 9>and all them guys, and and I could I couldn't

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 9>hear the end of it. And the fans at school,

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:57.960
<v Speaker 9>all my friends were Ohio State fans. They all that's

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 9>all they talked about. So I just really like them.

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 9>I didn't like the fans. I just didn't like the

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 9>coaches when I wouldn't visited, so a lot of stuff.

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>You had a couple of significant injuries in your college

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 2>football career. A back injury at Michigan a couple of

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and had torn acl last year after you

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 2>transferred to Iowa. What was the toughest part about rehabbing

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 2>from those injuries.

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I'd say just.

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 9>Keeping confident or keeping that confident, that confidence in yourself

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 9>and and and that you'll be okay or well that

0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 9>I will be okay after after. You know, it's just

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 9>the it's not the like the how you feel. It's

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:39.959
<v Speaker 9>just it's like the just not knowing how everything's going

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 9>to be at the back end of things. So I

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 9>was worried about, you know, not knowing if I was

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 9>going to be back to my old self after and

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 9>you know, and just day by day I would just

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 9>prove to myself that I was that I was gonna

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 9>be okay and fine, and it worked out.

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 2>We're chatting with Erek Hall. You were drafted by your

0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 2>hometown team and the fourth round this year. Just gribe

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 2>your draft weekend.

0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it was it was long third day, but I

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 9>mean it could have been longer. You know, some guys,

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 9>you know, don't don't end up getting drafted. But you know,

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 9>before that, we didn't know if we were gonna where

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 9>we were gonna have the draft party, and and honestly,

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 9>I didn't really know if I wanted to have a

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 9>lot of people there, you know, because.

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know if I was gonna be drafted or not.

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 9>And but I ended up just saying, you know, you know,

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 9>if if you're gonna get drafted, you'd rather be around

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 9>the people that you love. So I invited a bunch

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 9>of people and we ended up having it at my

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 9>high school's fieldhouse.

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:41.719
<v Speaker 3>Where it all started.

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 9>And and you know, day three, fourth round, I got drafted,

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 9>and while I was doing a workout with my with

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 9>one of my best.

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Friends out that I grew up with here in Hamilton.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it was pretty cool.

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>You've proven to be a very good blocker as a rookie,

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 2>and a very aggressive one as well. Offensive coordinator Dan

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Pitcher recently said you're not only willing to be violent,

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 2>but eager to be violent. Describe the satisfaction you get

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:11.960
<v Speaker 2>when you make a crunching block.

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 9>Oh yeah, I mean ever since I started playing, you know,

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:20.240
<v Speaker 9>my dad was my coach, and you know, throughout my

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 9>entire life playing the game, you know, hitting hard and

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 9>making loud pops with your pads like was like part

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 9>of the Like that's just what you did, and that

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 9>was just what everybody you know, looked for was you know,

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 9>crackback blocks back then it was legal, but crackback blots

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:40.160
<v Speaker 9>and just making these devastating blows. But that's just something

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 9>that's always, you know, been a part of my game

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 9>since you know, starting since the beginning of my playing

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 9>the game, and so just doing that.

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Is just the reason why I play, honestly.

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:54.960
<v Speaker 2>All Right, a few wild card topics now with Eric

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 2>All to wrap things up, who is your all time

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 2>favorite athlete in any space and why?

0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:04.959
<v Speaker 9>I'm gonna just say you saying Bolt just because how

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 9>fast he is and and you know how long he

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 9>was just the best at what he did and you know,

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 9>the fastest times in the world and things like that,

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:16.280
<v Speaker 9>So say you say Boat.

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 2>He told me during training camp that you enjoy playing chess.

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 2>When did you pick up chess? And have you competed

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:25.720
<v Speaker 2>against any of your current teammates yet?

0:33:26.680 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, So I started playing. I think it was my

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 9>going into my junior year of fall camp.

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 3>At Michigan.

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 9>You know, there was not really much to do during camp,

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 9>you know, given that you were you were spending majority

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 9>of the time in the facility. If you were in

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 9>a facility, you were in a hotel. So I forget

0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 9>who taught me. I'm pretty sure it was Carter Selzer.

0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 9>I would play a lot with him and I would

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 9>just learn different things from him and watching videos on the.

0:33:57.880 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Game and getting better like that.

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 9>But you know, we would play with with a lot

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 9>of the guys played on the team. But you know,

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 9>I played a lot of games with Coach Harball and

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 9>you know, different titands and it was just everyone played

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:16.759
<v Speaker 9>so that and then now I play Tanner a lot.

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Tanner McLachlan, McLaughlin. Muma.

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.280
<v Speaker 9>He's trying to I feel like he just started because

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 9>he does a lot of you know, suspect moves.

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.480
<v Speaker 3>But I'm looking to play more guys.

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:30.799
<v Speaker 2>I look for guys to play, So all right now

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 2>I know the scouting report. If I'm going to play,

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.840
<v Speaker 2>take on Muma, jog meta before he gets good. You

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 2>have a two year old son named Houston. What do

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 2>you enjoy most about being a dad?

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:44.879
<v Speaker 9>You know, just watching just watching him grow and take

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:49.919
<v Speaker 9>all these like these little steps like this little mild sone.

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:53.000
<v Speaker 9>Like I take him to the the varsity games of

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 9>Fairfield games and you know he's on the sideline with

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 9>me watching the games and he'll you know, imitate the

0:34:59.360 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 9>players out there.

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 3>He'll get said and then.

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.880
<v Speaker 9>Start running when they all start running. And you know,

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 9>when a guy gets tackled, he falls down to the ground.

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 9>So just things like that, do you know, just watching

0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 9>him grow and you know he's he's always he's always

0:35:14.920 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 9>smiling and laughing. So it's just fun being around him,

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 9>and you know, just a different type of love.

0:35:20.960 --> 0:35:24.320
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing better. Final fun fact for Eric All. This

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:29.040
<v Speaker 2>one's kind of deep. If you could meet anyone in history,

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:32.320
<v Speaker 2>living or deceased, who would that person be.

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 9>I'm gonna say King Tut because I always wanted to,

0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 9>you know, I always wanted to go back in time

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 9>and see like the how they built the pyramids and

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:42.799
<v Speaker 9>everything else.

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 3>So to say King Tut.

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 2>You were the first person to say King Tut, so

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:49.879
<v Speaker 2>you get extra points for creativity. This has been fun.
