27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers entered the game oh and two at Paul

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Brown Stadium with losses in two thousand and nine and

29
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: two thirteen and the three time MVP. Got off to

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: a slow start on Sunday. Rogers back to pass, forced

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: to scramble to the right, running toward the near side,

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: the Fires went down field, intercepted by chitubay A Wooja,

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: running up the sideline to the forty toward the middle

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: of the field to the fifty. The Packers forty five

35
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: gets tackled at the green bay forty two by offensive

36
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: lineman Billy Turner. Chitubay A Wouja picking off a pass

37
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: intended four to Vante Adams. And running it back into

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: green Bay territory. The Bengals weren't able to take advantage

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: of the i NT, but the next time they got

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: the ball, they got on the scoreboards. Joe back at

41
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: the nine in the shotgun first and goal from the four.

42
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Burro extends the hands, catches the ball, looks to pass,

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: fires caught Bacti Riy touchdown Bengals as he peeled out

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: to the right, caught it around the two and took

45
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: it past the pylon for the touchdown. It was seven

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: nothing Cincinnati at the end of the first quarter, but

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Rogers answered with a seventy five yard touchdown drive second

48
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: and ten from the Cincinnati twelve, Rogers stomps the right foot,

49
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: catches a shoulder high snap, throws left, caught by dylon

50
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: tight ropes the sideline, hits the pylon, touchdown. Green Bay

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: lost coverage on Dylan aj Dillon's twelve yard grab made

52
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: at seven six, and it stayed seven six when Mason

53
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Crosby missed the extra point. Crosby made a forty four

54
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: yard field goal on the Packers next drive to give

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay a nine to seven lead, and late in

56
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: a half, that lead grew when Rogers aimed for his

57
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: favorite target, Aaron Jones lined up behind Aaron Rodgers tightly

58
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: bunched formation. Rogers throws it into the end zone and

59
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: it is caught. Now the ball pops out late. The

60
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: touchdown signal is given. Adams with the catch. Trey Wayne's

61
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: in coverage after Adams went out of bounds. The ball

62
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: popped out, but the official there threw up his arms

63
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to say touchdown. Davante Adams, the NFL leader in receptions

64
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: going into the game, finished with eleven catches for a

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: career high two hundred six yards. Here's a wouje and

66
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: what the Bengals did to try to stop Rogers two

67
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Adams everything, you know. We tried a lot of things. Obviously,

68
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: great players, great connection between those two. He has some

69
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: row coverages, we have some double coverages, we have some

70
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: single dove coverses. We had quarters, we had man we

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: had zones, we had we had everything. The touchdown pass

72
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: made it sixteen to seven with sixty seven seconds left

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: in the half, plenty of time for Burrow to answer.

74
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: Fifty seconds left. Shotgun snapped to Burrow. Good protection. He's looking,

75
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: he's looking scrambling right, still looking Burrow is gonna step

76
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: into a deep ball finals down field for Chase. Yeah,

77
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: he does. Look at twenty the ten the bullet touchdown Bengals.

78
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow waited and waited and waited, and eventually delivered

79
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: a strike to Jamar Chase for a touchdown with thirty

80
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: six seconds left and a half seventy yards from Burrow

81
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: to Chase. It was Jamar's fifth touchdown in five NFL games.

82
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Scrambled drew something we work on that practice ended up

83
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: happening in the game. I've seen Julle run out to

84
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. I just cut my

85
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: eyes on Julian ranted on the side like he did.

86
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: How tough was that all that? Dau looked like it

87
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: almost was right by his handy he touched it all way.

88
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he touched that at all, to be honest.

89
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: It went straight through his arms, just like a distraction

90
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: drie really. Chase finished with six catches for a career

91
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: high one hundred and fifty nine yards, and the Bengals

92
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: trailed sixteen fourteen at the half. After winning the coin

93
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: toss and deferring for the ninth consecutive game, the Bengals

94
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: got the ball to begin the third quarter. They hit

95
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: scored on their first drive of the second half and

96
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: every game this season, but that streak ended versus Green Bay.

97
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon back in it running back, he bake a

98
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: toss sweep to the left in trouble, flings it down

99
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: field and it is intercepted. He was trying to float

100
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: it down inside the twenty fraudent Tate and Adrian Amos,

101
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the Packers' safety, intercepts and goes down at the seventeen

102
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: yard line. The Packers turned that pick into points. A

103
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: forty four yard field goal by Crosby gave Green Bay

104
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: in nineteen fourteen lead. Going to the fourth quarter, the

105
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: Packers were on the verge of going up by two scores,

106
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: as they had at first and goal at the six,

107
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: but the Bengals defense got a stop, forced Crosby to

108
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: kick a short field goal, and the margin was eight.

109
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: When Cincinnati got the ball back with about eleven minutes

110
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: to go, Burrow and the Bengals went to work, putting

111
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: together a thirteen play seventy five yard drive to tie

112
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: the game. Two receivers left, one right, Burrow hands it

113
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: off mix and bouncing it wide to the right, cuts

114
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: back and takes it into the end zone. Touchdown. Bengals

115
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: three twenty seven on the clock. Now they will line

116
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: up and go for two to try to tie this game.

117
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: The Bengals trying to tie it with a two point conversion.

118
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: Burrow catches the shotgun snap he's back to throw, moving

119
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: to his left, throws toward the back of the end

120
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: zone by Hivens on the back line of the end zone.

121
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: It's a two point conversion and the Bengals have tied

122
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: it with three twenty seven to go. The euphoria was

123
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 1: short lived. On the Packer's next play, Aaron Jones ripped

124
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: off a fifty seven yard run, setting up a field

125
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: goal try for the lead with about two minutes to go.

126
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: This will be a thirty six yard try from the left.

127
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Hash Crosby's kick is up, it is no good. Crosby

128
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: missed from thirty six yards. His streak of twenty seven

129
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: consecutive made field goals going back to December twenty ninth,

130
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen comes to an end at the best

131
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: possible time for Cincinnati. The Bengals got the ball and

132
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: picked up two quick first downs, Then on third and

133
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: five at the green bay forty two. They elected to

134
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: run the ball and somajp Ryan got tackled at the

135
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine. It was Evan McPherson's turn to try to

136
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: win the game. Twenty six seconds left in regulation, the

137
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Bengals will line up an attempt a fifty seven yard

138
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: field goal to take the lead. This would tie the

139
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: franchise record for longest field goal. Huber looks back at McPherson,

140
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: staring at the rookie kicker just twenty two years old.

141
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: Now the snap to put down, the swing of the

142
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: right leg, the kick on its way. It hits the

143
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: upright man bounces to the right. No good. McPherson's miss

144
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: gave Rogers the ball near midfield with twenty one seconds

145
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to go. He fired a twenty yard bullet two adams,

146
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: giving Crosby a second chance to be the hero. Three

147
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: seconds on the clock. The snap, the kick, It has

148
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: the distance. It is no good. He missed it wide left.

149
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: After making twenty seven in a row. Crosbie has a

150
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: streak going in the other direction. He's missed too straight

151
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: and this game will go to overtime. The Bengals won

152
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: the toss to begin overtime, of course they did, but

153
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: their first play in ot was a disaster. Burrow extends

154
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: the hands, catches the snap from Hopkins, stands tall in

155
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: the pocket. Short pass picked off. The Packers are running

156
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: it back and the tackle made at the seventeen to

157
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Vandre Campbell had the ball thrown right to him. I'm

158
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: not even sure who the intended receiver was. Terrible pass

159
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: by Joe Burrow, and the Packers are in position to

160
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: win this game. To Burrow's credit, he made the tackle.

161
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Had it been a pick six, the Packers would not

162
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: have needed to call on Crosbie for another game winning

163
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: field goal try. Here we go, the snap, the kick

164
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: kit's on its way. It is no good. Oh my gosh,

165
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't believe what I have just seen. Mason Crosbie

166
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: can't believe it either. He misses three straight after making

167
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven in a row. Total disbelief from fans rooting

168
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: for either team here at Paul Brown Stadium. Let's face it,

169
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: the Bengals had gotten lucky. Now it was up to

170
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: them to take advantage of it. A twenty one yard

171
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: passed to Chase moved them into Packers territory. But on

172
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: third and two at the Green Bay thirty three, Joe

173
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: Mixon was stopped short of a first down. So after

174
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: three miss field goal tries by Crosby and a miss

175
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: from fifty seven yards away by McPherson, the Bengals rookie

176
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: got another chance to win it. From forty nine yards out.

177
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Cuba ready for the snap from Clark Harris. He extends

178
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: the right hand, catches the ball, puts it down to kick,

179
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: is on its way. It hits the upright. That is

180
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: no good. Oh my gosh. Five missed field goal. Unbelievable?

181
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Does anybody want to win this football game? After drilling

182
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: game winning field goals and each of his first two

183
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: home games, mc pherson failed on two attempts to make

184
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: it three games in a row, and he was shocked

185
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: that his overtime try was no good. Honestly, I was

186
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: celebrating before the bowl. I guess curved to the left.

187
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: But for me, what I saw as I struck it

188
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: really well, um and I saw it going right down

189
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: the middle, so I kind of I guess you could say,

190
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: I kind of know whenever it's gonna go in. And

191
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: that was one of those moments and saw us kind

192
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: of celebrating with with Kevin whenever it when it hit

193
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: a hard left, and so I thought there was no

194
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: chance I was really missing left. Um. If anything, I

195
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: thought the win was bowling left or right, And so

196
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: I guess that that, as you could say. The when

197
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: the ball turned left kind of caught me off guard,

198
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: And honestly, I thought the rest were playing a game

199
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: with us. Whenever I saw I look down there and

200
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: they were doing the no good motion. Honestly thought they're

201
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: playing a game, because I shrugged really well and I

202
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: was real confident that it was going through. The Packers

203
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: got the ball at their thirty nine and two big

204
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: pass completions by Rogers gave his teammate of fifteen years,

205
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Mason Crosby, one more try, a forty nine yard try

206
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: to win it in overtime. Crosby's kip on its way,

207
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: it is good, and the Green Bay Packers win it

208
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty two. Here are Chittabay, a Wouge

209
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: and Zach Taylor on a crazy overtime defeats. Ridiculous. Man,

210
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to go through that too many more times.

211
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: But uh, that's that's why we love it. That's what

212
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: we love the game, you know, um, obviously being in

213
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: it you get to feel the raw emotion. But as

214
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: a fan of the game and a fan of just competition,

215
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to be in any You

216
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: want to be in a position. You want to want

217
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: to be the ones in a closing game and closing

218
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: it out. That thing was a roller coaster. Sometimes they

219
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: didn't know how we ended up in the situation where

220
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: were in. You know, probably they felt the same way

221
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: on their sidelines. But I just told our guys, I

222
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: know exactly what kind of football team we have now

223
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: if there's any questions about what type of fight we have,

224
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: what type of energy we have, what type of love

225
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: we have for each other. And I know that the

226
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: people that are with the game today, the people that

227
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: are watched on TV, they should be proud of this team.

228
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: And it's gonna come down to some last second place

229
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: and sometimes we'll make them, sometimes we won't. But this

230
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: team's gonna fight to the end against the great teams,

231
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks. And I believe in our guys and this

232
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: is going to serve us well. Over the course of

233
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: the season, the Bengals went toe to toe with a

234
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: team that's gone thirty and seven in the last two

235
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: plus seasons. But a loss is a loss, and in

236
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: the AFC North, you can't afford to lose when a

237
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: win is in your grasp. Here again are a Woojia

238
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: and Taylor. Personally, I think that was the toughest football

239
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: game I've been a part of, just the length of physicality,

240
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: the assignment of going against a team like that. So

241
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: I think we were started to learn about ourselves. It's

242
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: going to be a great film to correct. Disappointed, but

243
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: I think everybody's looking in the right direction. We expected

244
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: to win this game going into it. We expected, as

245
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: it point out, we didn't need a moral victory to

246
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: show us that that we're capable of beating great teams

247
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: in this league. We just want to win them, you know,

248
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: want to put ourselves in better positions. But again, sometimes

249
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: when it comes down to something like that, that's just football.

250
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: You know. There's there's a lot of teams that each

251
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: week walk off the field and they feel like there's

252
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: just an inch here there that would have made the

253
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: difference in today just didn't go away. And again, it

254
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: hurts to lose, but we got to pick ourselves up

255
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: and go on the road next week and go and

256
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: go play great game against Detroit, but winless Lions are next.

257
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: They fell to and five with a two point loss

258
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Now time for postgame analysis for my broadcast

259
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: partner Dave lappa Lap. Just when you think you've seen

260
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: it all, you have not five consecutive missed field goals

261
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: between the end of regulation and overtime before Mason Crosby

262
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: delivers the game winner. The Packers tried to hand it

263
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: to the Bengals late and Cincinnati was not able to capitalize. Yeah,

264
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, no one wanted to win that football game.

265
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: It'ston like down the stretch, it was crazy. They were all,

266
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, other than Crosby had one that was like,

267
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: what from forty yards or something like that, or thirty

268
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: thirty six or something. He missed one that was kind

269
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: of makeable. But thirty six thirty six yard that he missed.

270
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: That one surprised me. But all the others, you know,

271
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about forty nine to fifty five yard field goals.

272
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're not real easy makes. But in

273
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: today's NFL, the kickers are so good, your expectations are

274
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, the fifty. That's like the old forty

275
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: two yard field goal. Fifty yard field goal these days.

276
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you a boy, I commented during the

277
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: game that both kickers probably wanted to measure the distance

278
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: between the upper rights. They were just just missing hitting uprights,

279
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: clanging off of uprights and a just a tough, tough day.

280
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: McPherson learned a lot today. I mean, that's a that's

281
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: a guy. The kickers tonight will not sleep a wink,

282
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. And there's not a whole

283
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys who are gonna get great. I'm on asleep.

284
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna sleep eight hours tonight, and I can tell

285
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: you that they're all gonna be. You close your eyes

286
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: and literally, Dan, it's unbelievable. I remember it's happening to me.

287
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Close my eyes and my balls became projector lenses and

288
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: you were seeing plays that could have gone changed the

289
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: outcome of the game. And this is one I can't

290
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: remember a game that has as many plays in it.

291
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, when you're factor in special teams, offense, defense,

292
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: it's like there's probably twenty plays that if any one

293
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: of them went the other way, it's a different football game.

294
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: How about Evan McPherson leaping into the arms of Kevin

295
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: Huber on his last field goal attempt because he thought

296
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: it was good. He sees the no good signal and

297
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: he thought they were joking. That's how good he felt

298
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: about that kick. That thing hook It looked like it

299
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: was dead center and it kept hooking, hooking, hooking. The

300
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: amount that that thing hooked down the stretch was unbelievable.

301
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: And I think that because he kicks it so straight.

302
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: I think he was stunned. I don't know if it

303
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: was a breeze. I don't know what it was that

304
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: took that football, but it moved it from the middle

305
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: of the uprights to that upright big time in the

306
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: last twenty yards that had traveled. I mean, Zach Taylor

307
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: was talking about it in the locker room after the game.

308
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: He was shocked how much that field goal moved in

309
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: the final few yards when it was in the air.

310
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: There were a lot of plays in this game. First

311
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: drive of the second half, it was third down and two.

312
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: They threw an incompletion. It was fourth down and two

313
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: they went for it. That got wiped out by a penalty.

314
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: Too many situations in this game where the Bengals could

315
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: have moved the sticks and failed to do it. Yeah,

316
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: I thought that there third and short. I mean, at

317
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: one point in the first half there were one for

318
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: seven on third down, third and one, third and two,

319
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: third and three, third and four. You know, we're four

320
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: of the seven attempts on third down, and they weren't.

321
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: They weren't converting, they weren't keeping the drives alive. And

322
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: I thought that was going to be a big factor.

323
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: Obviously when you're playing against number twelve Aaron Rodgers, keep

324
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: drives alive, convert on third down, you know, melt the clock,

325
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, during the course of the football game, might

326
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: mean one less possession, one less opportunity. So I thought

327
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: two things. I thought their third down non execution in

328
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: the first half was painful. And I thought the fact

329
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: that they didn't take advantage of the turnover they got

330
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: nothing out of it. They got great field position at

331
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: the forty six yard line or something that went backwards

332
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: and got nothing in punt the football. And the interception

333
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: in the first half that Joe Barrow had green Bay

334
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: got three points out of So, you know, in a

335
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: game that tied at the end of regulation, twenty two,

336
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: twenty two that the turnover situation the game. Even though

337
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the turnovers were even, Green Bay came out plus three

338
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: in terms of points on those turnovers, and in a

339
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: game like that, that was big. But boy, you look

340
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: at Aaron Rodgers too. Dan Again, this guy's like drifting

341
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: to his left with his feet side by side, sideways,

342
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: like shuffling to his left and throws a rope back

343
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: to his right, you know, to cob in a in

344
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: a porthole, you know, a tight, tight window. It's like,

345
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: how the heck does a guy do that? Just shoulder

346
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: and arm strength, you know, and the accuracy and the

347
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: ability to throw it with some juice on it. He's

348
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: I think I have yet to see a quarterback that

349
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: has more arm talent than this guy. I really, this

350
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: is the third time I've seen him in person, and

351
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: every single time in at different stages of his career,

352
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: and every single time he'll make a wow are you

353
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: kidding me? Throw? Patrick Mahomes is the only guy that

354
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: comes close for the ability to throw with a wide

355
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: variety of angles, you know, side, arm, over the top, whatever,

356
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: and still deliver a good strike. And I still think

357
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: Rogers is even better. Yeah, I think at a comparable age,

358
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: Rogers and Mahomes were like, but this guy's now, he's

359
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: thirty nine years old, thirty seven, thirty seven, thirty seven

360
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: and doing at such an unbelievable level. And that's the thing,

361
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: you know. Zach Taylor mentioned it in the pregame show,

362
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's worth repeating that not only is

363
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: this guy that type of physical talent, still, it's like

364
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: having an offensive coordinator in your huddle and at the

365
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and Pratt was talking after the game.

366
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: He said, Man, I'm telling you, this guy came to

367
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage in total control, changing players left

368
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: and right. Whatever we got in he had an answer

369
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: to it. He had the answer to every every question

370
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: in the test. And you know, it's it's just when

371
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: you're playing with a guy like that, it just gives

372
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: you so much confidence. It really does. I mean, man,

373
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: he just he raises everybody else's boat, you know, in

374
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: terms of the level of performance, because you just feel

375
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: like you're unbeatable when you're playing with a guy like that.

376
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the other quarterback, Joe Burrow. We found

377
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: out after the game he was taken to a local

378
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: hospital for a possible throat contusion. I've never heard of

379
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: that before. Bruised throat. Now, we happened to see him

380
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: walk out of the stadium as we were going into

381
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: the studio to record this podcast, and he looked okay.

382
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't appear to be in any sort

383
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: of excruciating pain. But that doesn't sound very pleasant. Yeah,

384
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard of fractured trachia. You know, how

385
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: does that must how must that feel? You know, I've

386
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: heard of a damaged Adam's apple, and you know, fractured

387
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: trachy and things like that. And I guess if he

388
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: got hit in the throat somehow by somebody's hand or whatever,

389
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: that you know, they know it's bruised. They just want

390
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: to see how badly and if there's any cracks or

391
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: anything else going on in there. So if you have

392
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: a you know, a fractured trachia or something, you know,

393
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: now it's tough to I mean, you're gonna be guttering.

394
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna be uttering guttural noises, you know, for for

395
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: cadences and stuff. You know that that that might be

396
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: a little bit weird. But we're putting the cart way

397
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: before the horse. Hopefully it's it's nothing more than, you know,

398
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: make sure check all the boxes and make sure that

399
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: you know that that he's able to go. How did

400
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: you think he played? I think he played, you know, okay,

401
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean he totally lost track of Campbell. And I

402
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: asked Zach, I said, was that a case where receiver

403
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: and quarterback round different pages? And he goes, I don't

404
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: really think so. I have to look at the tape

405
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: to make sure. But he said, you know, I think

406
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: he just lost track of the foundery, lost track of Campbell.

407
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: And that's the easiest interception Campbell's ever gonna have. There's

408
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: no question about that. But Zach was not expecting the

409
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: linebacker from the opposite side of the formation to drift,

410
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, like he did, to the middle of the

411
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: football field like that, and that was obviously a huge play,

412
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: pivotal play. It seems strange in a game where a

413
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: receiver on the opposite team had two hundred and six

414
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: yards to single out somebody in the secondary for having

415
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: a great game. But chittabay O Wooje continues to show

416
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: what an excellent signing he was. No question, I mean,

417
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: he just he flashed you know he jumped off when

418
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: they watched the tape, he's going to jump off the

419
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: tape coverage. Tackling the interception was a great play. I mean,

420
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: he's got to write to that spot on the football

421
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: field as well. And he turned, he found the ball first,

422
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: and there was some you know, checking fighting going on

423
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: and all that, but he's he's in better position. He

424
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: ran the route better than the receiver did. So there's

425
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: no call on that. There's no flag on that. And

426
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: he made a great play. And again they didn't. There

427
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: was not complimentary football played there. A Woozia makes a

428
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: hell of a play, gives them the ball, you know,

429
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: at the forty six yard line, and they get nothing, zero,

430
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: not even a first down out of the darn thing.

431
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: So at that point, complimentary football was an issue. And

432
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, you start the football game off, it takes

433
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: you till the end of the first quarter to score

434
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: seven points. Again, these these slow starts. The better team

435
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: you play against, the more you're gonna put yourself behind

436
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: the eight ball. If you don't come out of the gate.

437
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: You know, in a perfect world, you come out of

438
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: the gate strong. And then at the end of the

439
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: football game, you still have enough juice to be physical

440
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: and finish the thing, you know, with a flourish kind

441
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: of deal. That's when you're playing really good football and

442
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: they're having you know, frantic finishes and all that sort

443
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: of thing. But they're putting themselves behind the eight ball

444
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: too much with these slow starts. It's impossible to feel good.

445
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: It's a Bengals fan after you lose a game like that.

446
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to remember my mindset going into the game.

447
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: I said that they need to go toe to toe

448
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: even if they don't win. They need to go toe

449
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: to toe with a team like Green Bay to show

450
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: that they are legit, that they can be in the

451
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: hunt for a playoff spot. They did that. It was

452
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: a game they should have won, though considering the things

453
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: that fell into their lab. Yeah, there's no doubt. And

454
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: when you look at the personnel, I'm telling you this

455
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: is a huge win for green Bay because they came

456
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: in limpen and gimpen. You know, they were like the

457
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: Johnson and Johnson bandage group, and they licked those wounds.

458
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: And I'm telling the offensive line, I think they're coach magnificently.

459
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: And then you still have to go out and play

460
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: and they were taking defensive linman on with short sets

461
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: and they were playing their butts off, and Aaron Rodgers,

462
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: you know, created an extended plays when there was some leakage.

463
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's great at that. But really, I thought

464
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: that offensive line played more than adequately. I thought they

465
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: showed that they all belonged to the National Football League.

466
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is when your roster, your roster depth,

467
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: it's not like you fall off a cliff. Now, baktri

468
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, as good a left tacklers in the game,

469
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: you're going to miss a guy like that. But when

470
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: you have guys that can you know, are more than

471
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: adequate replacements, you know, it's like and they even lost

472
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: the replacement to Baktiri and they're still out there operating efficiently.

473
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: When you have that kind of thing going on, you

474
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: got a damn good football team. And for them to

475
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: come in and I think they've got respect for the

476
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, I think they might even have more respect

477
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: or at least as much respect when the game's over.

478
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: For them to come and travel and win that football game,

479
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be big for them and

480
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: for the Bengals to be in the situation to win

481
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: it multiple times and not be able to get it done.

482
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: That one's going to be a tough one to get over.

483
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about compartmentalize, amnesia, move on, easier

484
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: said than done. You know, this one, it's going to

485
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: be a mental and physical challenge to do. Because they

486
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: played a lot of minutes in a football game. Green

487
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Bay feels a heck of a lot better physically now

488
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: because they won that game than the Bengals do after

489
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: losing a game like that that you could have and

490
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: should have won the football game. The run through the

491
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: NFC North ends next week. They played the Vikings, the Bears,

492
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: and the Packers. They've got one team left, the Lions,

493
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: who are winless after two point loss in Minnesota, and

494
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: you got to beat their Lions. But you know, the Lions,

495
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: they haven't won a football game, but they've been in

496
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: a few. You know, it's there's no gimmis in the

497
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: National Football League. And one thing about the Detroit Lions

498
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: when you watch tape on the Lions now, they come

499
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: to play physically. Their head coach is a psycho. Matt

500
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: Campbell is an absolute psycho. So he demands that so

501
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that. I mean, when that game's over,

502
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be oh man, when you're in the locker,

503
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: I remember that hit. Oh yeah, You're gonna have to

504
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: come out and be physical. And then that's going to

505
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: be the big challenge, you know, after losing the way

506
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: you lost to the Green Bay Packers, Detroit lost obviously

507
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: a game they could have won, maybe should have won

508
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: as well. Who's going to be able to bounce back

509
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: the quickest and the best? That might be a big

510
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: factor in who puts a W in the left hand

511
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: column Next week, there's a quick reminder to join Lapping

Speaker 1: family's real big to me and see them quite often.

538
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: So I know you love hunting and fishing. Do you

539
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: have an all time best hunting and fishing story? You know,

540
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of them that come to mind, just

541
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: being out with my dad, you know, my brothers, good friends.

542
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Some of the funnest memories I have were before high

543
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: school football games, going out dove hunting. That was that

544
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: was always fun. And now that I, um, you know,

545
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: I didn't have any money when I was younger to

546
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: have have good hunting dogs. We had dogs, but they

547
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: weren't really hunting dogs. But uh, Spain, will take my

548
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: dogs out now and watch some more because it is

549
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: really a treat. We're doing fun facts with Riley Reef.

550
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: Your dad was a wrestling coach and you were an

551
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: all time great high school wrestler in South Dakota one

552
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: twenty one and one with three state titles, and it

553
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: surely would have been four if not for an injury

554
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: or senior year. What did that experience and that success

555
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: do for you? I I credit all my where I'm

556
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: at now to wrestling. Uh you know, it's tough, physical,

557
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: I had great coaches, great teammates, and uh you know

558
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: it was it was. It wasn't so much so physical,

559
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: it was the mental aspect of being a wrestler. And

560
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: I still think that helps me today and it's caring

561
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: me to where I'm at and uh, you know, just

562
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: the grind, you know, never stop attitude. Parkston is not

563
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: far from the border of Nebraska. Minnesota and Iowa. You

564
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: choose to be you chose to become a Hawkeye. What

565
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: was the best part of your college experience. My teammates, um,

566
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: the coaches, winning games. We had a good group of guys,

567
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I had a lot of fun

568
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: at Iowa and I won't change at one bit. I mean,

569
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: I'd do that all over in Harben. We learned from

570
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: your former Iowa teammate Mike Daniels that you started out

571
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: on the defensive line before they move you to the

572
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: oh line. How'd you feel about it at the time.

573
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't too happy. I when I first arrived, I

574
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: got the number seventy seven. It was in my locker,

575
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: and I was kind of mad because I was like,

576
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: that's not a defensive lineman number. Now it's one of

577
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: my favorite numbers, but you know it was obviously it

578
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: worked out for the best, and uh, you know, they've

579
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: seen something in me and the rest is history. I

580
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: I used to think offensive linemen were slow, fat and lazy,

581
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: and now I think, I mean, being around him, they're

582
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: the best on the team. Man. They're fun, they're you know,

583
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: we're tightening it and uh yeah, yeah, there's no position

584
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: group like it. No position group that's more close knit

585
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: than the O line. It's unique fraternity. What is it

586
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: about you guys together that click so much. Yeah, you

587
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: just get a bunch of guys that that depend on

588
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: each other. And uh, you know, if if one guy

589
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: has a really good game and one guy has a

590
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: really bad game, it's I mean, it's your your judge

591
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: is won. And uh, you know that's just it's a

592
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: it's a bond, right. Um, I don't I don't really

593
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: know how to how to phrase it, but uh, it's

594
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: pretty special in a part of an offensive line room,

595
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: that's for sure. We're doing fun facts with Riley Reef.

596
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: So they gave you the number seventy seven as a

597
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: dead ringer that you were going to be an O lineman,

598
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: and it obviously did work out. You became a first

599
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: round draft pick. Describe your draft experience. You know, I

600
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: I left school a year early. Um, you know, trained

601
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: at Iowa with coach Doyle and combine, you know all

602
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: that stuff. It was. It was a lot um but um,

603
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, I was very thankful for the Detroit Lions

604
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: organization for drafting me and the Ford family had a

605
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: great five years there. And then Ford in Minnesota and

606
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: now now I'm here, and uh, you know, I'm awfully

607
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: honored to be in this league. I mean, it's it's

608
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: hard to to get in this league and it's hard

609
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: to stay in this league. So you know, heads off

610
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: to a lot of good teammates, coaches and uh, you

611
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: know family for support during those four years in Minnesota

612
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: or head coaches. Mike Zammer, he recently called you one

613
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: of his favorite guys of all time and said he

614
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: was willing to share the codes to his hunting lodge

615
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: and even opened up the fridge if he wanted to

616
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: drink his beer. Describe that relationship. I love Zim Zim.

617
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 1: Uh you know, he's tough. He's a wrestler, you know,

618
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: at heart, and uh, you know, he wanted the best

619
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: out of us and every day. You know, he might

620
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: have been hard on us, but you know he knew

621
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: what had to be done. Sim's a great coach. Everybody

622
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: knows that. And I really appreciate him. You know, we

623
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: had some good years there and uh, you know, yeah,

624
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for him. During training camp,

625
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: offensive line coach Frank Pollock asked Anthony Munio's and Dave

626
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: Lapham to address the offensive labman after practice one day,

627
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: and you genuinely seemed almost awe struck. Was that the case? Absolutely? Um,

628
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, any guys that have played before me, I know,

629
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: I know what they did. They set a foundation. Uh

630
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, it goes back the you know, the x's

631
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: and knows might change a little bit, but the technique

632
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: and stuff. I mean, I mean, it's it's evolving, but

633
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: they they set the foundation on how offensive linemen you know,

634
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: how they work, how they do this stuff, and uh,

635
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, to pick their brain or listen to them talk.

636
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's awesome. I love talking to

637
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: any offensive linemen. You know, they get it. They know

638
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: they know how bad it sucks sometimes. So you know,

639
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: you just appreciate when guys take time out of their data,

640
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, of us. A few pointers, all right, a

641
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: few wild card questions for Riley Reeve. Who is your

642
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: all time favorite athlete in any sport? I'll probably say

643
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: Tim Brown from the Oakland Raiders. I remember him, I

644
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: had I got one of his cards when I was younger,

645
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it come to I liked him

646
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: at the time, but I come to respect him even

647
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: more once you get older and you're in this professional

648
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, probably him. That one definitely caught me off guard.

649
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: I thought you might go with Dan Gable. I like

650
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: Dan Dan too. Is there anything you like to splurge on?

651
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: Probably hunting and fishing stuff. You mentioned your hunting dogs.

652
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: Are they expensive? No, I mean yeah they are. The

653
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: prices are going up on dogs nowadays. But yeah, I

654
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: mean they're they're just uh, they're bread locally around South

655
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: Dakota and just find a good pedigree. If you could

656
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: meet anybody in history, athlete, actor, statesman, whoever it might be,

657
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: who would person by Teddy Roosevelt? You know you'd like

658
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: to hunt fish? And uh, yeah, I think he's an

659
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: interesting character. Maybe him. All right, you are the first

660
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: person to ever go with Teddy Roosevelt to answer that question.

661
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: I love it. All right. Last thing, and now that

662
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Tim Brown thing, this all makes sense

663
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: because I read that as a kid you were a

664
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: Raiders fan because of the Mailman. Can you explain, Yeah, Well,

665
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: my dad was a Raiders fan too, and we'd always

666
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: get the My mom was a Vikings fan, so we'd

667
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: get the Vikings Vikings game. But then we'd usually get

668
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: a West Coast game, and you know, sometimes we catch

669
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: Raiders on and that's how I became a Raiders fan.

670
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: And the mailman was always harpening on me about the

671
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: Raiders too. But yeah, um, I just like the like

672
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: the atmosphere that I've seen on TV. And I've never

673
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: been to a game that I played there, but uh,

674
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, I just like the you know, the fans

675
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: and they were tough, they're they're physical and stuff like that.

676
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: I appreciated that you'd fit in in the black hole.

677
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You don't have to put

678
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: on all the makeup. You just have to be rowdy.

679
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: In any case, I really appreciate your time. Best of

680
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: luck the rest of this year. It's great to have
