After throwing a touchdown on 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.800 his last pass of the day, Burrow could be seen 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.920 on the bench using a thera gun to massage his calf. 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.200 Back up.

We 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.840 give it a couple, a couple of nights, couple. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.400 Of sleeps, and we'll see you.

It's always something that you're managing. 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.520 Uh. Like I said, I don't know how I'm gonna 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.520 feel the next couple of days. Uh, we'll have to 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:59.320 wait soon. Go I I mean, I don't know. I 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:00.840 don't know. It's tough to tell. It's tough to. 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.320 Look into the future and see that I'm doing everything 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.880 I can to get healthy and get that thing the 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:10.079 way I needed to so I can go out and 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.280 perform the way I need to to win. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:13.160 We'll see. 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.600 We'll all have to wait and see. But the Bengals 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.640 are certainly going to be cautious with their franchise quarterback. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.320 As for Baltimore's QB, Lamar Jackson was twenty four for 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.240 thirty three for two hundred and thirty seven yards with 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.320 two touchdowns no picks at a passer rating of one 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.000 twelve point eight. He also rushed for fifty four yards, 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:37.800 mostly unscrambles, and Lamar made two exquisite throws, a fifty 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.400 two yard bombed rookie's A Flowers and a seventeen yard 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.760 touchdown to Nelson Agalore that turned out to be the 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.920 game winning score. Chidabaya Woujie was in coverage on that 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.239 touchdown pass. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.600 It was a great ball on his outside shoulder. I'm 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:58.599 running with him. I'm getting ready to look back and 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.319 then I see that guys getting big the balls coming, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.520 and you know, it was just, you know, a great ball. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.560 But on my part, I felt like I could have 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.960 anticipated it way better, kind of got there sooner. He 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.959 gave me a look in the beginning where you know, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.640 I kind of you know, s third and five, third 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.599 and short, thinking he may do a short route, and 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:17.839 then he kind of burst it out of there and 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.400 I was still in a good position. But again, it's just 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.079 a great, great pass, and yeah, next time that happens, 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.439 I'll definitely be ready for that. 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.400 Lamar didn't have a ton of rushing yards, but it 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.280 seemed like when they needed and they get a few, 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.600 he did. Yeah, and I guess that's what he does. 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:30.920 Yeah. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.520 I mean, he's the MVP of there a team for 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.120 a reason, you know, one of the best players in 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.880 our league, and all the all all the props to him. Obviously, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.280 you know, we wish he would have tackled a little 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.719 bit better, but you know, guys like that, we kind 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.480 of have to just know that they're gonna extend plays 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.760 and you know it's gonna take all elevens, so you know, 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.559 we guys, you gotta do a better job of everybody 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.160 rolling to the ball when he does break loose. 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.120 I think did it hurt that have that takeaway in 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.280 the red zone and that haven't wiped out by the penalty. 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.280 Yeah, that was kind of ridiculous. I don't know what 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.560 they called. I don't wanna disrespect any refere anything like that. 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.679 I obviously didn't see it. I just know they called 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.680 hands to the face, and when the replayed, I didn't 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:05.600 see a hands to the face. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.160 So obviously we. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.920 Should have got more takeaways, but that one, I feel 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:11.520 like we should have. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:12.200 Been a takeaway. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.840 I don't have third down numbers in front of me, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.600 but it seems like you had chances to stop them 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.200 on third and just could get those key stops. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.840 Yeah, I think we kind of did a We didn't 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:25.400 do a get enough job of getting them to third 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:26.800 year old. You know, it was a lot of third 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.680 and shores. They were able to run the office that 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.920 they're comfortable in the times that we did get them 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.120 in third and plus third and plus third a long. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.000 We kind of made our stocks. But when it was 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.240 like five six or less, it's very hard to stop 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:38.880 the type of offense. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.040 So we'll just do a little bit. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.160 Better job of you know, playing first down defense, second 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.240 down defense to hopefully get third and longs. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.000 So Rams at home next Monday, we gotta happen, right. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.720 Yeah, when we were looking forward, you know, this is 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.160 a seventeen game season for a reason. Every season has 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.199 its different tribulations, different highs, different lows. You know, one 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.000 thing we can't be doing is thinking that we're the 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.600 same team as last year. So we're the same team 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.360 as before I start having these expectations. You know, all 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:03.920 we could do is to stay in the moment and 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.360 keep building our chemistry as a team. Right now, I 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.200 forget the history, forget all the bs what we did 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:10.000 in the past. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.920 I don't care about none of that. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.720 We got more new team and we just got to 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.080 keep building from the ground up obviously, you know, to 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.120 hopefully get our first win, and once we do, just 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.040 build that foundation and keep it rolling. So that's what 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.400 I'm looking forward to, is going against the Rams. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:26.080 Cheatout, thank you, yep, for sure. Unfortunately, the Bengals loss 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.439 took some of the shine off of a great individual 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.120 moment for rookie Charlie Jones. Nearly sixteen years to the 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.839 day after the Bengals last punt return touchdown an eighty 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.760 one yarder by Adam Jones in the twenty twelve home opener. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.480 Charlie Jones, no relation, also ran one back the same 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:50.720 distance and I talked to him about it after the game. Charlie, 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.760 congratulations an eighty one yard punt return touchdown in your 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.920 first home game at pay Course Stadium. Describe it. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.000 Yeah, it was pretty sweet, you know, especially coming off 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.880 a week like last week. I'm just tryna, you know, 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.520 bounce back from a week like that. I was struggling 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.400 last week. Teammates, you know, all week were you know, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.160 keeping me up, encouraging me, and then come out in 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.480 front of the home CROWBM just do that. Was was 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.240 pretty sweet, just trying to help out as much as 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:17.959 that possible can. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.720 There was a penalty flag throwne Did you think it 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:21.440 was coming back? 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:22.160 I did. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.880 I even I even gave the ball to the ref 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.640 thinking it wasn't gonna be good, so I don't even 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:29.000 have the. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:29.800 Ball come on. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.280 Yeah, yeah, that's so. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.360 I've seen a couple of teammates come up and congratulate you. Uh, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.120 just kind of share the vibe from uh the other 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.640 guys on the squad after you do that. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:40.840 Yeah, they've been. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.080 They've been amazing. Like I said, this past weekday, you know, 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.120 they've been they've been building me up, making sure I'm 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.360 confident back there, encouraging me, you know, telling me to 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.280 just keep doing my thing back there. So you know, 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.920 they they were definitely hyped up. It's been you know, 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.480 a lot of ah ah the team effort this past week, 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.839 trying to get tryna bounce back, special teams wise, so 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.120 you know, and then they came out and they made 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.679 it for every block possible for me to just run through. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.760 You made a guy miss early in the return, and 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.840 then it seemed like it was wide open down the sideline. Yeah, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:13.040 it was. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.760 It was wide open. They did a great job blocking 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.760 and it made my job pretty easy. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.920 Does the end result take some of the joy away? 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.200 Yeah, I mean, obviously the most important thing is getting 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.360 to win, and we didn't get that. But I know 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.160 his team's gonna, you know, bounce back, and I know 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.000 we're gonna have a good week of practice and get 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.960 in the film room and make our corrections. And I 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:39.960 don't think anyone in here is worried at all. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.680 After two punts early, the offense moved the ball well 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.040 basically for the rest of the game. Did you see 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.160 the Bengals offense picking up the way that we kind 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:49.880 of all expected to perform. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:50.920 Yeah, I did. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.720 Started started moving it pretty well, getting the crowd into it, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.000 and just making plays like like, I know this offense 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.080 can so I think we just need to come I 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:00.880 need to build on that. 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.360 Sorry you didn't get the ball by congrats on the TV. 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:04.480 Thank you appreciate. 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.080 The Bengals Booth podcast is brought to you by Alta 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.520 Fiber future proof fiber Internet capable of delivering multi gigabit 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.560 speeds designed to take your home, business, and community to 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:19.680 a new level. Elevate your connection with all to Fiber. Now, 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.280 time to hear what Zach Taylor had to say after 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.680 the games. He spent a few minutes with Dave Lapham. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.160 Second half seemed like offense getting a little bit better rhythm. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.160 Joe through for like over one hundred ninety yards. I 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.920 think he and t started hooking up, starting to get 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.880 some chemistry and rhythm. What'd you think overall? 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.000 I thought those some good things that we're going to 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.760 continue to build on. You know, turn rebettals one and nothing. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.320 You was by one possessions, that's not a shocker when 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.800 you play the Baltimore Ravens and you only get seven possessions. 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:49.440 That's just the way it goes. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.400 That's their mo isn't it. I Mean they want to 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.720 hold onto the football, they want to get their running 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.440 game going. They get a quarterback that is like Gale 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.360 Stairs with a thrown arm. I mean, that guy is 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.560 with the ball in his hands. He's a unique, unique individual. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.640 What goes through your mind when you know you have 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.280 such limited number of possessions? I mean, do you a 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.280 game plan differently or how do you approach it? 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.560 Oh, you got to be mindful of that. That's the 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.640 way it goes. But again, you stressed the term of 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.320 battle and they got us on that one. You know, 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.280 we got one from him. They got called back for 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.000 hands the face, and then that's just usually what this 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:24.680 game comes down to. 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.320 The fact that you get a special team's touchdown out 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.000 of Charlie Jones was a kind of an equalizer, A 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.720 nice a nice situation there. What was the thought process 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.200 when you saw that taking place? 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.120 Well, it was it was a good jolt for us 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.080 because we'd had seven plays on offense up to that point, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.160 we had a holding, we'd been really efficient and had 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.920 a holding call that took us back to second long. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.200 So we needed a jolt there and he gave it 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:48.760 to us. 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.360 What about from an injury standpoint, Nick Scott a concussion 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.800 protocol and there were a couple of other guys who 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.280 got nicked up a little bit. Is there any you 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.000 have any update in terms of their status? 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.120 No, nothing yet that I've heard on everybody. 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.200 In terms of where do you go from here? You 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.879 have another dead Joe was using that. I don't know 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.879 what you call that opera, what that piece of equipment is, 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.720 but he was trying to work in that calf a 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.919 little bit. Is it good to have a Monday night 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:14.600 game and maybe have an extra day or so and 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:15.800 let Joe work through that. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.840 It probably doesn't hurt, you know a bit. A long 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.000 week we'll be good for us. It was hot today. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.560 Our guys got a lot of snaps, a lot of 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.479 difficult snaps, you know, especially offensively there at the end 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:26.960 and that two minute drive that we were in and 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.280 we've done a score, those guys were pretty worn out. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.840 So I think it'll be good to get that extra 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:31.280 day in here. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.399 Coach appreciate it. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:38.520 I know that from a scheduling standpoint, guys, will they 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.360 get will you give him a full extra day off 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.600 trying to like lick wounds and everything from this football 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:43.200 game physically. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:44.879 You just get a little bit of an extra bonus 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:45.560 walk through in there. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.640 Appreciate your time, yep, thank you. 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.800 So the Rams are up next. They beat Seattle in 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.199 Week one thirty to thirteen, before losing at home to 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.280 the forty nine ers this week thirty to twenty three. 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.240 In that loss to sand wide receiver Puoka Nakua, a 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.200 fifth round draft pick out of BYU, had fifteen catches 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.119 for one hundred and forty seven yards. That's a single 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.320 game record for receptions by a rookie, and in the 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:17.560 opener he had eleven catches for one nineteen. So after 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.120 two weeks, Pooka Nakua has twenty five catches for two 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:26.280
