Other than 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.000 the Roman Colisseum, which has had one name since eighty a. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:16.399 D Stadium name changes are not unusual. Consider the Miami 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.920 Dolphins who play at hard Rock Stadium. It opened as 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:25.280 Joe Robbie Stadium before becoming Pro Player Park, then Pro 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:32.760 Player Stadium, then Dolphins Stadium, then Dolphin Stadium, then Land 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:37.880 Shark Stadium, sun Life Stadium, and finally hard Rock Stadium. 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.119 The Bengal sixteen year agreement with Cincinnati based pay Corps 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.760 comes at a critical time for the franchise. Here's what 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.000 Mike Brown told me before training camp when I asked 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:55.000 him about possibly changing the name of Paul Brown Stadium. Well, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.560 I think my dad would have understood. I think he 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:02.320 would even have approved it. In his mind. What mattered 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.200 most was the team. This gives us a revenue stream 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.600 if we go forward with it, and we need that 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.720 for doing things such as the indoor facility we're building 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.840 to help us when we get to signing some of 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:23.119 our headline players. That's going to be a real challenge. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:30.400 We have things to spend that money on. Believe me, 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.800 Paul Brown is not only the most innovative coach in 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.520 football history, he was probably the most innovative coach in 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.720 sports history. This partnership with pay Corps will help the 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.320 team he founded compete for Super Bowl titles. In the 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:50.920 modern NFL. Now, let's get to Friday's preseason opener against 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.519 the Cardinals. It didn't start well for the Bengals, as 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.280 a forty yard pass interference penalty on rookie Allen George 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.720 helped the Cardinals score on their opening drive play action 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.240 fake bootleg left throwing to the end zone, touchdown Arizona 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.200 Andre but Shelley with the touchdown catch and the Cardinals 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.280 score on their opening drive. The Bengals answered with a 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.200 sixty yard run by Chris Evans on their first play 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.960 from scrimmage. Unfortunately, it didn't count due to a holding 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.000 penalty on Thaddeus Moss. Later in the first half, Evans 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.320 had a five yard touchdown run that didn't count due 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.280 to another penalty on Moss. I talked to Evans about 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.840 his rotten luck after the game. The final stat sheet 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.880 is not going to show all the things you did tonight. Unfortunately, 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.040 had a sixty five yard run. He had a five 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.200 yard touchdown run. Unfortunately they both got wiped out by penalties. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.840 He had a forty yard kick return that counted, But 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:49.960 was kind of a strange night for you, which you 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.080 made all these big plays and they didn't count. Yeah, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.280 I was just and being in a preseason this is 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.360 all about getting it on take I'm saying, and I 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.200 don't really care about the innisthesisis zona coaches that I 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.760 could be trustworthy and make a play when time come. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.320 Let's discuss the sixty five yard run first offensive play 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.360 of the game for the Bengals. Did you know pretty 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.960 quickly it was coming back? Or didn't you find out 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.320 until after the play? I didn't find out until after 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.480 the play, and I was like heartbroken because I was 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.120 like man like, I was running as fast as I 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.160 could do, had an angle, and but I got it 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.200 on tape. So I'm not really you know what I'm saying. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.640 The coaches know that I could do that and know 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.920 what I could do, So I'm not really mad about 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.920 the you know what I'm saying, the highlight or anything, 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.520 as long as the unit saying. Coaches know I can 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.040 do it, you know what I'm saying, Rather they we 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.680 fixed the blocking off front or not. You know what 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.200 I'm saying, I got that in my toolbucks. How about 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.520 the five yard TD? Same thing, yes, sir, And anything 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.599 they need me to do, any any opportunity at GAM's 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.560 gonna make the most of it rather get called back 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.640 or not. You know what I'm saying, I gotta you know, 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.880 man's gotta do what I gotta do. We're chatting with 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.640 Chris Evans. The first kickoff returning that you did came 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.839 very late last season, so you're still kind of raw 0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.640 in that category. That forty yard kickoff return to feel good. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:01.920 Yeah it, hit it and get it, hit it and 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:02.920 get it, hit it and get it. You know what 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.359 I'm saying. Everybody up there the front line, and to me, 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.240 is the hardest thing to do in football. It's to 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.840 run backwards, set up and to block a grown man 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.160 running full speed. So I gotta I gotta help them 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.839 out by hitting the whole heart and just being decisive 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.160 and just making sure that you know what I mean, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.480 I can I can get them on their blocks. If 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.360 I can just so them, I can just set it, 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.400 block ups and hit hit what I need to hit 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.920 in it and make it everything work for everybody. Always 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.160 looking to correct things that went wrong in the preseason game. 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:28.880 I guess the big thing for the team tonight would 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.200 be cleaning up those penalties. Yeah, I mean, yeah, we 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.320 gotta clean up a lot of stuff. Just come with 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.240 you know what I'm saying, locking in and attention to detail. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.400 And then you know what I'm saying, We're in training camp, 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:38.800 so you know what I mean. We just got to 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.200 lock into the to the small things and especially the guys. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.040 Guys who were in don't typically get rested during the week, 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.839 so it's kind of hard to you know what I'm saying, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.560 to get that live rep and you haven't gotten them 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.480 any practice shorts. For my best, that's just the name 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.960 of the game. You gotta be able to do it. Yeah, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.800 it's some great place tonight. I wish they would have 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.120 all counted for your sake and the team's sake, but 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.919 like you said, you put it on. Take congratulations for 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.800 that and best the luck next way. Yes, Officially, Chris 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.760 had eight carries for minus three yards, one of the 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:11.680 most deceptive stat lines of all time. Arizona led nine 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.880 nothing at the end of the first quarter before Evan 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.320 McPherson put on a show in the second. He made 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.240 a twenty three yard field goal to put the Bengals 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.880 on the scoreboard, then added a pair of bombs from 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:28.719 fifty eight yards away. On the Bengals b logo, Chrisman 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.159 is ready the snaff, the put down, the kick it 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:38.279 has the disco yeah is yeah, of course it's good. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.680 Evan McPherson, coming off the greatest rookie season by a 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.479 kicker in NFL history, drills one with the room despair 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.040 from fifty eight yards away. I agreed, Danni's good from 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.360 at least sixty And the thing is it could up 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.040 so quickly he gets a media trajectory. He doesn't overswing. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.000 This guy is incredible. Duper is set right, knee on 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.960 the ground, catches the snap, puts it down. Oh my, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:12.080 Fierson's kick is oh, yeah, good, unreal from fifty six 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:20.360 yards away. Evan mick hab no Fearson, unbelievable. I don't 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.840 know what to say. Fifty eight and fifty six in 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.640 the pregate preseason opener. Just a phenomenal performance for the 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.680 fans in attendance at this point. I mean, is this 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:35.840 becoming routine for you? Um? I mean right, My job 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:37.880 is just to go out there and make the field 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.400 goal that they call me to make. So I would 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.000 say that, Um, I'm getting a little more comfortable in 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.280 the system with you know, the operation had a year 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.320 to I've had a year to kind of work with 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.680 them and just get comfortable with them, and they make 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.560 my job a whole lot easier than it has to be. 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.360 And so with with not having to worry about any 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.160 of that and just having to worry about just kicking 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.960 the ball and really overthinking it, I feel like it's 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.640 kind of gotten a little bit easier. But I don't 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.280 want to say that because I know there's gonna be 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.680 times where I got to revert back to what I'm 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.800 doing now and where I struggle and got to pick 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.280 myself back up. So but right now, just feel like 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.120 I'm kind of hitting the ball pretty well. I'll say, 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.360 between the preseason practices and this preseason game, I think 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.640 you've only missed two kicks out of probably forty five 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.560 by now. How has that affected your confidence level going 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.240 into your second NFL season? Well, you know, I wish 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:37.000 I wouldn't miss tho two obviously. I think one of 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.040 them came the last practice before this game, and it 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.400 did hurt me, just because you know, Darren can hold 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.360 that above my head that he aysd me and I missed. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.920 But no, it gives me a lot of confidence because 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.600 I like to relate. You know, a lot of the 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.160 practice kicks to the game kicks, and so I've just 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:59.040 been really trying to get better in practice, and so 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.200 I really don't have to we're about anything in the game. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.719 I just kind of go out there and do what 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.200 I've been doing all week. It's remarkable show you amaze 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.600 us on a regular basis. Congratulations on two long wins tonight. Well, 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.000 I appreciate it, and hopefully we continue to amaze you. 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.959 Mc pherson was definitely the bright spot of the first half. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.240 Starting quarterback Brandon Allen left after one series to be 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.240 evaluated for a concussion, and Arizona led by two touchdowns 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.559 at the half twenty three to nine. It got lopsided 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.480 in the third quarter, second and goal from the six 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.480 shotgun snap Guarantano rolling out to the left cocks the 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:41.400 arm throws caught at the goal line, touchdown John Trey 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.640 Kirkland with the catch, and the Cardinals have scored their 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.959 fourth touchdown of the game. The Cardinals added a fifth 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.800 before the quarter was over and led thirty six to 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.160 nine going to the fourth, but the Bengals ended the 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.800 game with a solid quarter, empty backfield for Jake Browning, 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.839 who's passed for a hundred and fifty nine yards in 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.320 the game tonight. Three receivers left, two right. Browning rolling 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.800 out to the right, being chased from behind, throws downfield 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.880 Patrick with a catch at the twenty five and he 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.760 gets pulled down at the nineteen yard line. Third down 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.600 and goal from the one, Browning hands it off to 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:20.680 jack Quez. Patrick sticks the ball forward. Touchdowns Bengals as 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:26.280 jack Quez Patrick scores Cincinnati's first TV of the preseason. Then, 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.120 on the Bengals final drive of the night, quarterback Drew 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.520 Plitt out of Loveland High School in Ball State, got 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.160 into the game and led the team on a ninety 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.120 four yard touchdown drive. He was helped by an incredible 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.920 one handed catch by rookie Kendrick Pryor. Then went back 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.439 to Pryor. On the eleventh play of the drive, third 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.160 down in three at the Arizona twenty five yard line, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.760 Plitt waits for the shotgun snap, fakes a handoff to Patrick. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.880 He's gonna float it toward the end gun and Prior 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.559 He's got it right at the goal line. Touchdown Bengals 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.000 as Hendrick Pryor makes his fourth catch of the game. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.800 Have this one. It's for a touchdown. Prior finished with 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.560 four catches for eighty nine yards, but didn't keep the 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.720 ball after his touchdown catch that went to his quarterback. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.080 We're in the locker room with Drew Plint after an 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.480 impressive debut six for six a touchdown pass, seven yard 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.559 run for good measure, How thrilling was that tonight? It 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.800 was nice? Um, I don't know about thrilling. I think 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.960 it was just like, you know, kind of weight off 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.079 my shoulders to be able to get in there and 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.440 get those first couple of reps um, and you know, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.800 going for six, six or six is something you want 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.560 to you want to start your first drive as um. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.920 But I had a lot of help from wide receivers, oh, line, 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.160 everybody all around me. So you know, at the end 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.120 it was a thriller, but starting it wasn't more of 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.560 a weight off the shoulders. How would you review prior 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:52.960 as one handed falling over backward, left handed catch? Unbelievable? 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.120 That yeah, I don't think there's any other word for it. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.200 And that's you know, huge for me going six or six, 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.840 but for him confidence booster going forward. Um, he's a 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.880 great player and obviously had that touchdown the end too, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.080 so UM, looking to capitalize on that and keep keep 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.360 moving forward as the third quarterback. While Joe's been out, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.839 you haven't been able to get that many reps in practice. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.640 What was your comfort level when you got the chance 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.439 to play tonight? Yeah, I mean I haven't been comfortable 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.960 with the plays. It's more just getting out there and 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.360 actually seeing a defense against him and not just drawing 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.240 them up on a board or on a piece of paper. 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.520 Us the biggest difference. And you know that that's where 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.440 a lot of the weight comes off my shoulders as 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:33.880 I've been able to, you know, go out there and 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.080 play and see those plays against a defense, and you 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.439 know read it and you know execute the play that's 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.000 supposed to get the way it's supposed to go. Do 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.960 you have a big rooting section here tonight? I did. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.679 I have my my family and some friends here, so um, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.520 I know they were excited to see me out there 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.559 on the field. In general, did you think you were 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.480 going to get in it had Brandon not had concussion 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.120 like symptoms? Did you think you were going to get 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.400 a chance to play? Coach told me there was a 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.600 chance he was gonna try to, But obviously, you know, 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.640 circumstances the way they unfolded so able to get a 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.240 drive in and luckily made the most of it. You know, 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.120 but you never wish anything to happen to Brandon or 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.720 anybody else when it comes to injury wise. It's just 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.880 you gotta take advantage of the opportunity that you get 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.120 in front of you. Is it a cliche to say 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.440 this was a dream come true? And it's not. I 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.640 would absolutely say that. You know, growing up here in 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.680 the Greater Cincinnati area and coming to games all the time, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.440 being able to throw a touchdown in Paul Brown Stadium 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.960 was unbelievable. And you have the ball. I have the ball. Yes, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.920 what happens to it? It's gonna go home and it's 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.599 gonna stay in a case at home for sure. Congratulations. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.240 That was the fun to watch. Thank you very much. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.920 I appreciate it. The final score was Arizona thirty six, 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:50.400 Cincinnati twenty three, and the killer stat was penalties. The 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.320 Bengals had eleven for one hundred and four yards, the 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.600 Cardinals had two for twenty and the Bengals also committed 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.200 the game's only turnover. Dave app them spend three minutes 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.840 with head coach Zach Taylor after the game. Take me 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.080 through your assessment of the football game. What did you like? 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.920 What did you not like? I thought we started a 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.600 little slow, you know, and got ourselves in a hole 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.680 it was hard to dig ourselves out of. I thought 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:15.800 the guys responded really well in the fourth quarter, got 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.200 some positiblementum, going, some good energy, and so we just 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.240 got to continue to build off that end, you know, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.440 and play better, better football in all three phases, you know, 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.880 in the first half of the next game. So eleven penalties, 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.800 I know, you don't like that for over one hundred yards. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.760 I mean that that puts you in some some tough 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.640 down and distance situations. There's no question about that. They 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.680 only had two for twenty yards. And then that ultimately, 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.400 you know, translated to they handled third down. You had 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.920 a tougher time because the down and distance situations, and 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.080 it just started a snowball a little bit. Yeah, that's 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.720 not what we do. That's not how we play football. 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.440 We got to be more disciplined than that. And so 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.280 we'll take a look at it and see where the 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.960 issues were at led the NFL FUS penalty yards last year. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.800 Either you were the most disciplined team in the National 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.120 Football League. Take great that, don't you. Yeah, we gotta 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.920 take a great pie in that and win another turnament battle, 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.600 you know, And we didn't do that today either, So 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.360 those are cheers we got to improve on. How About 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.040 on the other side of things, Drew Plitt goes in 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.240 the football game and doesn't have an incompletion, has a 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.200 perfect quarterback rating, and prior made some plays. I mean, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.080 some guys made some plays for you. Yeah, it's really 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.000 good to see him get an opportunity there with with 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.680 his one drive and took us down and scored a touchdown. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.200 So that was really good to see for him, I'm saying. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:25.960 But a bunch of other guys stood out, you know, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.480 so they'll be fun to watch the tape and and 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.080 really assess all the performances. It'll be it's a story 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.360 that Plick can tell his kids, his grandkids. I mean, 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.160 it's something you know, no matter what the situation, you 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.560 get in a in a National Football League game and 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.000 a team that you grew up rooting for and you 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.000 get an opportunity to shine, and he's shown brightly that's big. Yeah. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.680 You work hard and you're ready for the moment and 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.200 good things can happen for you any update on injuries, particularly, Um, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.760 what's going on with your with your quarterback is a 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.960 is it a concussion You're still trying to figure out 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.160 what it is or yeah, I think they diagnosed with 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.800 the concussion. Sold just where it's Athletax comple yes, And 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.360 how do you feel all your quarterbacks played tonight? I 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.800 thought Jake was put in some really tough, tough positions, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.680 not always his fault, mostly not his fault, I would say, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.040 and did a good job managing the team and keeping 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.000 calmness about him and try to get a body organized 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.040 and leading us down there for touch on his last drive. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.280 That was good to see. So you know, we'll watch 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:21.840 the tape and have a better assessment of it. But 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.640 but I was impressed with the way he handled himself. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.040 Jake really throws the ball in the run very well. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.200 I mean a couple of throws he made just stepping 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.280 out of bounds, we're right on There were dimes right 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.840 on guy's shoulders as they were stepping out of bounds. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.600 Pretty impressive. Yeah, it did a good job throwing on 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.560 the move and extended plays. And you just need your 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.440 quarterback to move the team any which way they can 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.120 coach Hopefully none of these knicks are serious. Hopefully everybody's 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.040 gonna be all hands on deck and get ready for 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.960 preseason game number two, traveling New York the Big Apple. Yep, 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.040 that's what we're hoping for. Thanks her, Thanks Dave. Before 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.120 getting the laps postgame analysis, I want to share one 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:01.680 more postgame interview. It's with rookie d defensive end Jeff Gunter. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.560 And as you'll here, Friday's game was very meaningful to 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:09.520 him and his mom. We're in the locker room with 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.280 rookie defensive lineman Jeff Gunter. He had a sack, a 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.680 couple quarterback hits, knocked down a pass. How'd you think 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.919 your NFL presecs and debut went. Um, definitely a lot 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.399 of room for improvement. Um. I was happy to, you know, 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:23.840 get the sack. I didn't know they gave it to me, 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.200 But you know, I definitely got a lot of stuff 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.880 to fix, and you know, I'm just getting back into 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.880 the lab. Well next time we had practice and going 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.360 over those things. You know, you played a lot tonight. Yeah, 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.280 you almost had a complete game tonight. How are you 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.320 doing physically? I'm a little sure, but you know, it's 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.560 a blessing. I can't I can't complain about reps, and 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.200 hopefully I showed them what I can do my special teams. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.640 I'm on defense. Anything in particular stand out about this 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.760 level of competition and playing in it and for the 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.840 first time, just the details. You've got to be really 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.679 precisely the details. And you know, I'm I'm a young 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.600 guy just being my fresh experience. I think it's a 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.719 skys a limit and you know, I just gotta get 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.000 back in the lab. Like I said, the Cardinals off 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.119 fence features the quarterback rolling out left and right a lot. 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.240 Was that a challenge for you to be chasing that 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.200 guy all over the place? D I. I was a 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.440 little tiger. But you know what, man, I had fun 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.920 out there. I appreciate the Cardinals, you know, for coming 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:15.720 out and playing us, and you know, I'd love to 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.639 play him in a regular season. Who was in attendance 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.560 and what did this game mean to you? My mom 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.840 came and I don't want to get too sappy, but 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.520 she was diagnosed with cancer a while ago, and this 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.159 is her first time, you know, coming out of the 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.679 house since she's been going through radiation. So it's just um, 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.199 it was good seeing her and no, she's okay, and 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.320 we kept our tradition going. I went and talked to 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.200 her before the game, and you know, while I was 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:41.720 warming up, Man, it was great to see her and 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:43.359 you know, just playing in front of herm at the 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:44.720 world to me, getting a sack in front of herm 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:46.520 at the world to me. And I hope she's proud 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.880 of me. I'm sure she is. If anything could make 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.720 her feel better under those circumstances, it had to be 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:55.560 seeing her son in an NFL uniform for the first time. Yeah, 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:57.520 you know, this is her dream just as much it 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:58.720 is mine. She put in a lot of work to 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.359 get me here too, so you know, hopefully, um, you know, 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.760 she gets some shine off this as well, because you 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.440 know what I'm saying with how her I wouldn't be here, 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.360 and I just thank her if I aught to sacrifice 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.440 a seam made and you know, hopefully I did enough 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.520 to you know, make a smile. We'll be rooting for 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.639 Jeff and his mom. If you believe in the power 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:21.240 of prayer, Keep them in your thoughts. Now, time for 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:26.679 the radio guys recap. All right, lap final score wasn't pretty? 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:28.520 Got a little bit better? In the fourth quarters. The 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.720 Bengal scored two touchdowns. But the big, glaring, obvious, biggest 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:36.280 problem in week one of the preseason, eleven penalties for 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.560 more than a hundred yards. Yeah, and like I said 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.760 during the broadcast, at least penalized team yards wise in 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.560 the National Football League. Took great pride in that, and 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:46.760 that can't happen. You know, you just can't give up 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:52.440 a football field. And you know, poor Evans big old 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.000 run of sixty five yards and taken away a five 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.600 yard touchdown run taken away. I mean, you know, his 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.760 stats look horrible, and he didn't play that poorly. I 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:06.120 mean he made some plays, but yeah, they put themselves 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.720 behind the eight ball. They took, took points off the 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:15.399 board by penalty, gave up massive field position opportunities by penalty, 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.119 and then you throw in the turnover. I gave him 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.720
