It's the greatest thing since the 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: Philly Cheese Steak. Before heading to Pittsburgh on Sunday, I 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia for a couple of days for the 19 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: UC Temple football game and had two Philly cheese steaks 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: during my stay. Now here's the thing. I didn't go 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: to one of the famous places like Pats or Geno's. 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: I had one at a hotel and the other at 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: the stadium, and I'm sure by Philly standards they were 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: positively atrocious. But they still got the job done. As 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: it turns out, chopped up grilled steak with cheese on 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: a good fresh roll rarely disappoints. Now, let's get to 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: the radio replays from Sunday's win at Accrosher Stadium. Drew 28 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: Chrisman into punt for the first time in his NFL career. 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Stephen Smith or Simms, rather waiting to return from the fifteen. 30 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Here comes the right footed punt. It is launched by 31 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: Chrisman and Simms will catch. He drops it, gets rolling 32 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: into the end zone. He scoops it up in the 33 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: end zone. He's able to run it out and he'll 34 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: get tackled at the five yard line. Second down and 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: nine at the Pittsburgh twenty nine forty eight seconds left 36 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: in the first burrow back to throw screen pass p 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: rhyme with blockers in front. He's up to twenty for 38 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: the sideline. Fifteen and five touchdown Bengals. Somaj p Rhyme 39 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: catches the Burrows screen and I don't think he was 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: touched as he took it into the end zone. Second 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: down and ten at the Bengals nineteen. The Steelers run 42 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: it left, Boris turns the corner, he's at the ten. 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: The five goes airborne and flies into the end zone 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: for a Pittsburgh touchdown. First and ten, Cincinnati looking for 45 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: a ninety two yard drive. Burrow back to pass, swings 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: it out to the right. P Rhyme with the catch 47 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: at the ten, breaks the tackle. He rokes the sideline. 48 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: He he's the pylon. Touchdown Bengals Smaj p Rhyme with 49 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: his second touchdown catch of the first half. Boy, if 50 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: you went into Vegas in bet that Somaj p run 51 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: would have two first half touchdown receptions, you'd be making 52 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: a lot of cash. Pick And catches the shotgun snap 53 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: he's looking here comes the rush, throws it off, caught 54 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: at the two, and Pickens will run it in for 55 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: an easy Steelers touchdown. Second and ten at the Pittsburgh 56 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: forty seven. Burrow catches looks to pass, his throw deflected 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: and intercepted. The ricochet is picked off by Levi Wallace 58 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: and the Steelers have their first takeaway. With thirty one 59 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: seconds left in the half, matthew Wright is ready the 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: snap the put down. Here comes his kick and it 61 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: is good to give Pittsburgh a three point halftime lead. 62 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: Second and goal, with the ball in between the one 63 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: and the two, the Bengals trying to take the lead. 64 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Burrow rolls to the right throws into the end zone. 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: It is called for the touchdown. Trenton Irwin Mayby with 66 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: his first NFL touchdown catch and he's given the Bengals 67 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: the lead. Anyway through the third quarter, long count by 68 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, left foot in front of right, waiting for 69 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: the shotgun snap. Joe catches short drop, quick throw and 70 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: it is picked off on a ricochet. Oh. Steelers are celebrating. 71 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, and they've got the football. T J. 72 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: Watt does it again. Yeah, he did another interception off 73 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Here comes the kick from right and it 74 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: is good to make it a one point game. A 75 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: remarkable interception by t J. Watt turned into three points 76 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: by the Pittsburgh Steelers, So the Bengals will attempt to 77 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: fifty four yard field goal. Long field goals notoriously difficult 78 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: here in Pittsburgh. The bad playing surface, the windy conditions, 79 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: swirling wins money. Mac will try from fifty four the 80 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: snap the put down. Here comes his kick. It's going 81 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: to be close and it is good money. Mac hits 82 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: from fifty four yards away week and the Bengals lead 83 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: is back to four second down and goal. The balls 84 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: in between the six and the seven burrow in the 85 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: shotgun now two by two formation. P Ryde in the 86 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: backfield burrow back to throw, flips it out to p 87 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: Ryan looking verse third touchdown catch, run down of the pylon, touchdown. 88 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: Bengals som J. P Ryan with a three touchdown catch game. 89 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: Here we go fourth down and nine three forty two 90 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: to go. Pick it, catches the shotgun snap. He's back 91 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: to throw. Now has to scramble, he's in trouble. He 92 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: throws incomplete, and that is coffin nails. Bam bam, shut 93 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: the door. I'm telling you, if that was just a 94 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: great finish. Defensively, that play kind of is a microcose 95 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: them or what the Bengals did in the second half. 96 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: They suffocated them on their first four drives of the 97 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: second half, the Steelers had one yard, six yards, six yards, 98 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: and six yards. They couldn't move the ball in the 99 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: second half until their final drive, when Pittsburgh took advantage 100 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: of the Bengals prevent defense and scored a touchdown with 101 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: forty five seconds to go to make the final thirty 102 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: seven to thirty. Here's Zach Taylor. It was good. You know, 103 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: we knew it was gonna be a tough game. We 104 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: talked about it last night. Ultimately we won the second 105 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: half and that was what was really important in this game, 106 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: get control in the second half. Thought our defense did 107 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: a great job, came out in the second half to 108 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: twenty in the first half, really held him to a 109 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: fuel goal, but that came out a short field off 110 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: that pick that they had, and then did a great 111 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: job allowing the offense to regain some momentum. And I 112 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: thought the ninety three yards scoring drive there with nine 113 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: and a half minutes seven fourth quarter really put that 114 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: game away from us. And then obviously we're get the 115 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: touchdown on late. We don't want to do that, but 116 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: our defense just kind of playing ben but don't break 117 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: there and give a screech inset one. Offensively, Joe Burrow 118 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: through for three hundred and fifty five yards with four touchdowns, 119 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: two interceptions and a passer rating of I know, four 120 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: point one. The Bengals are six and zero when his 121 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: passer rating is over one hundred this year, I was awesome. 122 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: That was awesome. M one of my favorite wins since 123 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: I've been here. A lot of adversity. NFC North game, 124 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: bad weather, cold, windy, We fought through Conway to win. 125 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: It was the Bengals third straight game without Jamar Chase, 126 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: and it was the first time during that stretch that 127 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: T Higgins posted huge numbers. I talked to T after 128 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: the game, See you what a game? Nine catches for 129 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty eight yards. How did it feel 130 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: to come here after week one and get a little 131 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: revenge for what happened in the season opener? I mean 132 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: it fel good. I wouldn't even call it revenge, man. 133 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: We just, you know, just trying to get back to 134 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: where we was last year, you know, trying to make 135 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a playoff run again. Um, you know that was our 136 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: whole minset, not to come out here and get revenge. Obviously, 137 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: we want to come back and win but oh man, 138 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: we just you know, we stuck to the game playing today, 139 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: even though we was down a half. It came out No, 140 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: with with that that attitude and that aggressiveness to that, 141 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: we was gonna come out and you know and dominated 142 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: who was able to do that. You certainly dominated. There 143 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: was a stretch there where they threw it to you. 144 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: I think on three or four consecutive plays. Did you 145 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: feel like they could not stop you today? Oh? Yeah, 146 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, after he gave me that second one, I felt, 147 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, I was in I felt I feel like 148 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: I was in his own man. Man, you know, he 149 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: just can't feed me, and you know, I just can't 150 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: make a place for the team. Three touchdown catches for 151 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Saba j a touchdown catch for Trench and Irwin. I 152 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: think somebody said Joe Burrow would throw four touchdown passes 153 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: and those would be the two guys to catch you 154 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: all four. It would have been a surprise. Been a 155 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: great performance by your teammates. Oh yeah, for show man, 156 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm proud of them guys, you know, especially 157 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: for somebody just stepping up with mixed went out and 158 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: then you know Trent Irwin, you know him stepping up 159 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: with m Chase out. So, man, I'm especially proud of 160 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: how hard he's worked, how hard he's worked to get 161 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: to this moment. You know. Um, three catches, forty two 162 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Man, That's that's anything anybody could 163 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: dream out, you know what I'm saying. So I'm proud 164 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: of him, proud of them guys, and hopefully keep going. 165 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: A lot of people look at the win after the 166 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: bye last year as a key it's kind of to 167 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: start off the Super Bowl run. Did you feel this 168 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: game would have similar importance? You had to start the 169 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: second half with a good showing.

I caught up 183 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: Trey in front of his locker, DA congratulations on a 184 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: great victory. A lot of people look at the win 185 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: last years after the buy is kind of a jumping 186 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: off point for the Super Bowl run. Did you feel 187 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: similar importance when you took the field today? Oh? Absolutely, 188 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: any divisional game, there's like a heightened sense of importance 189 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: in the w especially where if we want to go 190 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: where we want to go. You know, can't say enough 191 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: about this defense stepping up in a little bit of 192 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: adversity there, you know, coming together as a unit. Things 193 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: that we can always clean up on film. But you know, 194 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: Gret glad to have this w. In the second half, 195 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: on their first seven drives they had two first downs. 196 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: That was one of the most dominant stretches I think 197 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: we've seen in a long long time. What was the 198 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: key for the group during that stretch, Well, you know, 199 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: we're just playing as brothers, and you know, I stated 200 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: at earlier proverb seventeen seventeen. But me personally, I can 201 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: give all glory to Jesus Christ, my Lord and saviors. 202 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: So you know, it's just an opportunity to say that. 203 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: It is just a blessing to me. And you know, 204 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: all these brothers I know I'm united with, So you know, 205 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: it's a great, great feeling. Two zacks, four quarterback hits. 206 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: I think they were all in the second half. It 207 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: seemed like you guys are really able to turn up 208 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: the heat against Kenny Pickett in the second half. Well, 209 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: you know, Russian on the opposite side of Sam Hubbard 210 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: is a huge help. He's always containing the quarterback. He's 211 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: got a high IQ on defensive schemes, and he's always 212 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: learning me to where slides are and things like that. 213 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: So you know the product on the field as you 214 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: see us bolt sack in the quarterback, but he has 215 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: Captain's patch on his chest for a reason. Very talented 216 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: pass rusher, insane on the run, stopping and just a 217 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: great guy to be a part of on a defense. 218 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: Was it a little disappointing that they scored that late 219 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: touchdown considering how dominant you had been in the second half. 220 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: Up until that drive. You know, their backs were against 221 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: the wall. It was one of those things. We got 222 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: to kiten it up and kind of put that game away, 223 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: but we came away with a double. Will clean up 224 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: these things on a victory Monday, which is much better 225 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: than the other way. So you can't say enough about 226 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: this defense or anything that you know, Cleaning it up 227 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: on a win is always great. Road winds in pits 228 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: fur are hard to come by. Trust me, I've been 229 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: coming here for a long time. I think this is 230 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: the third time in twelve years the Bengals have one here, 231 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: but it's two in a row with you. Congratulations on 232 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: the victory in a great game. Appreciate it. Thank you. 233 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: Sunday mark the NFL debut of punter Drew Chrisman, who 234 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: was promoted from the practice squad and started in place 235 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: of Kevin Hubert. I think it's safe to say that 236 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: Drew will be getting another opportunity. Here's what he had 237 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: to say after the game. Why didn't NFL debut? I 238 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: think your first punt with sixty two yards, I believe 239 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: you averaged fifty two downed inside the ten. What'd you think? Shoot? 240 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be on that cold it's thought 241 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: room and bes a lot better in it out there, 242 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I know it was. It was awesome. 243 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: It was a it was a great verse and shout 244 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: out to the coverage those two then side to ten. 245 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: You know they weren't getting stopped without the guys running 246 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: down there. So yeah, big, big hats off to them. 247 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: They made some big plays of it where the butterfly's big. 248 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: Not really, I mean, just just trust your training. Um, 249 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean I've been I've played in games like this before, 250 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I just felt comfortable with all the 251 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: preparation I put in and you know, the guys around me, 252 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a plusing you know, being around here 253 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: for shoot a year and a half now before I 254 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: had my first game, and you know, I'm really really comfortable. 255 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: If you felt like I've been far of the team, 256 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: It's not like I just showed up this week to play, 257 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: you know. So it's uh, it was. I was pretty 258 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: at ease out there for sure. Did it feel like 259 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: kind of like a one game tryout, do well, and 260 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: you get to punt again. That's kind of how I 261 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: viewed at it. It's just every punt, every opportunity at 262 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: a time. You know, I don't I don't try to 263 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: look too far, too far ahead into what things are 264 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: going to look like, and uh, just do what you 265 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: can in that moment. And yeah, I just tried to 266 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: see seize the day as well as I could. So 267 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: money Mac made all of his kicks, three field goals, 268 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: including a fifty four yard or obviously that's a big 269 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: part of your job as well. How'd you feel about that? Yeah, 270 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: I know it's certainly half my job. And um, you know, 271 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: there's always some kind of concern when you change up 272 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: that operation. And I thought we handled the weather and 273 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: elements well. And yeah, he had a great game like 274 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: he typically does, so, um, you know, it's it's good 275 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: to kind of check that off the box too. But 276 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned the weather there. I mean not a great 277 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: field pit play here yesterday, the winds swirling, it's really coold, 278 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: it's hard to catch the ball. I mean, what kind 279 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: of adjustments do you have to make in these type 280 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: of conditions. I mean it's just really all pre game 281 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: you kind of start to figure that out. Um, And 282 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: like I said, I've played in these conditions before. This 283 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: is no stranger to me. Obviously the first time a 284 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: year and a half depend to deal with something like this. 285 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, well no, we were to get a 286 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: great play uh pre game and what we're gonna do 287 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: in the game. We just we just stuped in that 288 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: plan all through the game and you know, it worked 289 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: out for us. So has it kind of settled in 290 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: as it kind of felt like, Okay, I got the 291 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: person out of the way. Has it kind of you know, 292 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,359 Speaker 1: settled in that you played your first game yet? Ah, 293 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: maybe you ask me that tomorrow. Huh. It's still pretty 294 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: still pretty good feeling right now. But no, this is 295 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: this is sweet, It's this fun. This is what I 296 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: love to do. So I've I've missed doing it for 297 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: a last year and a half and it feels great 298 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: to do it again. For sure. You do have a 299 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: ball in your chair. Was that your first NFL punt? 300 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: That was my first NBA punt? Yeah? Luckily Kevin, he's 301 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: been great through this whole process, and you know, he 302 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: threw me that ball knowing you know, just he's been around, 303 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: he knows the important things and I wouldn't even thought 304 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: about that without him given to me. So that's off 305 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: to him and Grat's had a great debut. Thank you 306 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm sure that football will be fun to 307 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: show his family back home in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

We've been doing the games 313 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: together for twelve years. I think this is the third 314 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: time they've won in Pittsburgh. It's hard to do. I 315 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: don't care how good or Meati Hooker the Steelers might 316 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: be in any given season. It's a tough place to play, 317 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: and the Bengals ultimately got it done. It is I mean, 318 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's always a Donnybrook. It's always a 319 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, a slobber knarker. I mean, you know it's 320 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: going to be physical. Um, you know, there's always going 321 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: to be taking it to uh to the very limit 322 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: on every snap and sometimes more. I thought what Pickens 323 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: did to Tyler Board at the end of the football 324 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: game was inexcusable and um, I think the legal handle that. 325 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: I thought the officials handled it right by ejecting him. 326 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: And I think he's he's looking at some some serious 327 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: repercussions from his decision, which was you know, I understand 328 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: it's it's a competitive environment. He made some big plays 329 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: in the game. You know, he was very uh I'm 330 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: sure you know he's a competitive guy who was emotional. 331 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: You got to control yourself and there's no there's no 332 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: room for that kind of thing. You have a guy 333 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: on the ground defenseless. To do what he did was 334 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, a marred a good performance by him. I 335 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: think everybody is probably feeling the way that I feel 336 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: about it, and a lot of people feel about it 337 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: that he hurt himself by what he decided to do there. 338 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Bengals on the offensive end. They 339 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: lost Joe Mixon early, coming off the best game of 340 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: his career two hundred and twenty one total yards in 341 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: five touchdowns a couple of weeks ago against Carolina. Some 342 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: JP Ryan certainly picked up the slack three touchdown catches 343 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: for smaj in this game, and he's a real humble guy. 344 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: Talked him after the game and I said, have you 345 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: ever caught three touchdown passes at any level and he's sitting, Yes, sir, 346 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: it's lou Anna Romo walking by Yes, four straight three 347 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: and ounce. I mean, the defense suffocated things in the 348 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: beginning of the UH at halftime, start that second half, 349 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, some aj was was very thankful and h 350 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: obviously took advantage of every opportunity that he had. You know, 351 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: and I think I like about him is not only 352 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: catch the ball, run the ball, but he's a great 353 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: bliss pickup guy, and he takes immense pride in that. 354 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: And he and Joe Mixon have known each other for 355 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: a long time now, coming up close to a decade. 356 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: So um, they're they're tight, they're close, they're like brothers, 357 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: and he felt like he had to go in there 358 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: and pick it up for Joe. And the opener against Pittsburgh, 359 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: the Steeler sack Joe Burrows seven times. I think it 360 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: wound up being a couple of sacks in this game. 361 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: They did have some deflections, including one that led to 362 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: an interception, but by and large, the offensive line play 363 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: very solidly. Yeah they did, and you know, it's deflections 364 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: are are a nightmare for offensive woman. You know, the 365 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: thing you want to do is try to stay engaged. 366 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: And I thought they stayed engaged, you know, for a 367 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: good part of it, and they, you know, want made 368 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: a play. I mean, you kidd meet Elsie is knocking 369 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: him sideways. He and he just reaches up and intercepts 370 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: the past the guys of marsh and he's a freak show. 371 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's not many guys walk on the face 372 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: of the earth that could make that play that he made. 373 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: So those you just have to say congratulations to him. 374 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: There's nothing much you could have done about that. But 375 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: I thought, on a snap by snap basis, you know, 376 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: I thought that both tackles showed themselves really well in 377 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: this football game. I thought, I thought Elsie and Jonah, 378 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, handled really good edge rush guys who were 379 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: in situations where they could pin them back and rush 380 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: pretty darn well and pretty darn often. I thought that 381 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: they handled Watton Highsmith pretty effectively. Defensively. In the first half, 382 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: the Bengal struggled, Pittsburgh scored twenty points. They really couldn't 383 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: put any pressure on Kenny pick a bit. Then in 384 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: the second half, on the Steelers first seven drives, they 385 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: had two first downs on seven drives. That's dominance. Yeah, 386 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: Like coach was saying four straight three and outs. I mean, 387 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: and then when the interception happened, to give them a 388 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: short field, three snaps and kick a field goal. So 389 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, basically didn't let any bleeding occur 390 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: other than what you would anticipate after giving that short 391 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: field up on the turnover. But it is remarkable. I mean, 392 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is plus seven against the Bengals in two games, 393 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: and they're minus seven against everybody else. The Bengals are 394 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: minus seven against Pittsburgh in two games, and they're plus 395 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: eight against everybody else. It's just one of those weird 396 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: things that happened sometimes in professional sports or sports in general. 397 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's like you can't explain it. But with 398 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: that said, in minus seven, they could have won both games. 399 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: They really could have. I mean, it's you know, that's 400 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: almost incomprehensible to think about. But that's the way unfolded. 401 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: So when Jamar Chase got hurt a few games ago, 402 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: I think we all said, well, te Higgins is a 403 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver on any other NFL team, He's 404 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: won a on the Bengals, And that was certainly the 405 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: case in this game. Nine catches for one hundred and 406 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: forty eight yards and there was a stretch there. They 407 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: threw it to him on three straight plays and the 408 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: Steelers couldn't stop it. Yeah, I mean, he's a He 409 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: was dominant tonight. He was dominant in the middle of 410 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: the football field. He was dominating, the dominant on the 411 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: fade route that he had. You know, remarkably, he didn't 412 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: get in the end zone. Trent Irwin got in the 413 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: end zone and Somage get in there three times. But 414 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: he was he was providing the impetus to between the twenties. 415 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: He was getting a lot of things done. There's there's 416 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: no out about it. And to go on two drives 417 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: like they did as an offense backed up with you know, 418 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line and two ninety three yard 419 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown drive, that's like, that's hard to do. That's 420 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: hard to hard to put that many plays together and 421 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: sustain the level of execution to get that done against 422 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: a damn good defensive football team. It's not like you 423 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: know that Pittsburgh. They they've got some talent on that 424 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: side of the football. I mean, that was an extraordinary 425 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: performance out there. You'd have to say that true. Chrisman 426 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: passed the audition. Three punts savage fifty yards a punt, 427 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: two of them inside the ten. Yeah, he dominated field position, 428 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: handled every hole that he had to do flawlessly. I 429 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: thought he answered the bell. I mean it was tough 430 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: weather conditions, field conditions weren't great division rival on the road, 431 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: not bad. He stepped up. And now back on the 432 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: road to take on Tennessee a rematch of last year's 433 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: playoff game. The fans they are going to be salty 434 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: after the Bengals knocked their team out of the postseason 435 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: last year. And obviously the Titans very good seven and 436 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: three going into next week's game. Yeah, they're they're really good. 437 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: And you think, okay, well, when you think Pittsburgh steals, 438 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: you think defense and you think running game. When you 439 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: think Tennessee Titans, it's a replay. You know. It's like 440 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: Sam Bradley and doing the same thing over again. It's 441 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: it's like this this Titan defensive football team, and it's 442 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: probably even a cut above for sure. And uh and 443 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: then their running game with Derrick Henry is as physical 444 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: it gets in the National Football League. So um, the 445 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: guy's got to rush up from this one and uh 446 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: and recover quickly because they're gonna be doing it again 447 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: on the road against a team, like you said, Dan, 448 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: that's going to be playing with a with a mindset. 449 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna even the score here. Final thought, and you'll 450 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: like this. It's eight eighteen PM. The game just would 451 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: have been kicking off if this did not get flexed 452 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: to four twenty. Thank the Good Lord for small favors, 453 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: no question about that. Let's get on the plane and 454 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: head back to the NATI. Next Sunday's game at Tennessee 455 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: starts at one o'clock. The Titans are seven and three 456 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: and have a two and a half game lead in 457 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: the AFC South over the Colts. As for the Bengals, 458 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: they're a game behind the seven and three Ravens in 459 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: the AFC North and three games ahead of both Cleveland 460 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh. The Bengals moved up two spots on the 461 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: playoff totem pole in the AFC, and right now Cincinnati 462 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: would be the seventh and final seed.

A lot of rain, um, a lot of sand, 473 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: a lot of soccer, you know what I mean? Soccer 474 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: aft to school that was fun with the neighborhood kids. 475 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: And then um, just being happy with my family. Of 476 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: course we went through some things, but overall being happy. 477 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: Your family essentially won a lottery to get visas to 478 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: come to the US. Correct sir, Absolutely, explain how that works. 479 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: Just like any lottery. You know there's a there was 480 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: a powerball I think lottery last night and people were 481 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: scrambling to win that. But um, yeah, just like any lottery. Um, 482 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: you play, you win. If you win. Instead of getting money, 483 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: you get um free citizenship. So that's what that's what 484 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: we did. You were ten years old, were you heartbroken 485 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: to leave home and leave your friends behind, or were 486 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: you excited about coming to the US. It was a 487 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: bit of sweet for sure. Bitter sweet. Um excited about 488 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: the US. Grew up watching home alone. You know, I 489 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: thought every single New York I mean US city and 490 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: state was like New York. So I was super excited 491 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: to eat pizza and burghers and all that. But um, yeah, 492 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: definitely said about leaving my friends that I grew up with, 493 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: but um, my family was with me, and then, um, 494 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: that's that. That was my piece of home that I 495 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: brought with me for visiting with Joseph Hosai. There had 496 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: to be some culture shock. I would imagine what stands 497 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: out absolutely everything, every single details about going to school, 498 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: the clicks in schools them from like I mentioned, Sam 499 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: being everywhere in Nigeria, no saying here, you know what 500 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean, just conquering grabs. So that was that was that, 501 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: and then just learning how to communicate a lot of 502 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: things and then over it took definitely took us multiple 503 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: years to figure it out, but you know that was 504 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: all part of growing and learning. Have you ever been back? 505 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: I have not, but I need to. My dad goes 506 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: back all the time though, But I've just never had time, 507 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, with football and growing up, I was always 508 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: involved in summer activities like summer track and basketball and 509 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: stuff like that, so I never really got the chance, 510 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: but hopefully soon. How important we're sports in helping you 511 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: blend in very important. They allowed me to make my 512 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: first group of friends, you know, playing playing playing football 513 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: at recess at the back of the school. That's where 514 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: I was able to gain friends. Because then it's not 515 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: they don't care if you can you have an action, 516 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: or if you know how to do this or not 517 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: how to say this. They just care about or you 518 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: a good athlete. Did you score the game winning touchdown 519 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: before the recess bell blue? You know what I mean? 520 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, that sports. Sports was a huge part of 521 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: me integrating and gaining friends. But your mom did not 522 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: want you to play football, correct, She did not. She 523 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: did not. She was too rough for her. She wanted 524 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: me to focus on my studies, as every African parent does. 525 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, she she didn't come to a game all 526 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: of junior, junior, high, all of um until junior in 527 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: high schools when she first came to her game and 528 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: she was she praised the rosary like the whole way 529 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: through the game. So she is still a very violent 530 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: support for her, but she's learned to accept it. So 531 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: during the course of the game, she's as nervous ass 532 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: as nervous as can be. She's constantly praying. She just 533 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: super scared, but you know she's she's she's adapted over 534 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: the years. She's not as bad as she used to be, 535 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: for sure. We're doing fun facts with Joseph Osai. You 536 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: attended oak Ridge High School and we're a coveted recruit. 537 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: What was the recruiting process like for you? It was 538 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: it was a brand new thing, um, because I never 539 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: I didn't even you know, that was a thing first 540 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: of all, and you know Texas being a just a 541 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: big football state, you know, playing football there is interesting 542 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: for sure, I'll say that. So, um, it was. It 543 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: was wild. I tried to thank you. I had my 544 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: family around me and they didn't know anything about things, 545 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: so there was no pressure to go here or there. 546 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: But they we kept the level and we tried to 547 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: move through logically and write everything down, make sure we're 548 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: making the right decision, not decisions based off of what 549 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: color uniform or school had or how much they could 550 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: wool you in the recruiting you know what I mean 551 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: recruiting world. But um, I definitely have some good people 552 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: around me. My coaches too, were did a good job 553 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: of helping me, like because they had been through whatever, 554 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: and they said, look, you gotta take things into consideration 555 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,479 Speaker 1: and do this, do this, make sure you have your 556 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: grades right still, because just because you have the letters 557 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: coming in doesn't mean you're accepted. You still have to 558 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: have a good grades to get into these schools and 559 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So yeah, it was, it was, it was. 560 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: It was amazing, but again it was as part of 561 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: the process. It was dope. You chose the University of Texas. 562 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: You spent three years with the Longhorns. What did you 563 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: enjoy most about the college experience? Game day? Game day 564 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: in Texas is just amazing. Um and uh just and 565 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: it's a lot better here too. But um, I know, 566 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: some some pros, some locker rooms, they don't even there's 567 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: no commodity. I don't know if I said that word camaraderie. Camaraderie. 568 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: There's no camaraderie with um. With teammates, they as soon 569 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: as they're done with practice, they just shoot out. But 570 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: what I enjoyed most about college was um, um, hanging 571 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: out after practices. You know, we all were going to 572 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: the same dorms, we all were living the same lives, 573 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: um and stuff like that. It's a lot better here 574 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: in this locker room, for sure. You know, there's we 575 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: hang out and play ping pong all the time. But 576 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: just that family mentality is what I love most about college. 577 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: You know, just a bunch of guys grinding and trying 578 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: to get to the next level. There was there was 579 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: something special about that. For sure. You had a great career. 580 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: The Bengal selected you in the third round of last 581 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: year's draft. Describe your draft experience. It was a lot 582 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: of a lot of a lot of mixed emotions, man, 583 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: because um, you know, there's expectations and then there's what 584 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: actually happens. And overall I was just thankful, excited, man, 585 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: because then as I kept watching the draft, there or 586 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: some people that I thought we're gonna get drafted, they 587 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: didn't get drafted. So I was is super grateful to 588 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: have been given the chance to go and play at 589 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: the next level, you know what I mean. I mentioned 590 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: me and my college teammates guard and trying to get 591 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: to that next level and we had a little group 592 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: and for me to be one of the first to 593 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: go and achieve that next level, it was pretty special. 594 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: So I know they were just know that everybody was 595 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: super proud of me, and it was it was I 596 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: can't I can't describe that feeling. Man, it was it was. 597 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: It was awesome, It was amazing. We're chatting with Joseph O. Say, 598 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: in your NFL preseason debut, you famously sacked Tom Brady. 599 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: You had a great game, but you suffered knee and 600 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: elbow injuries in that game, and mister rookie season, how 601 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 1: difficult was it emotionally last year? Knee and wrist injury? 602 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: And it was it was one of the worst things 603 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: I've ever had to go through. And um, I got 604 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: to actually, you got actually that question a lot during 605 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: the pre draft process, what is the worst thing You've 606 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: ever had to go through? And nothing came to mind 607 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: because I came from a good family. You know, me 608 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: and my family pretty close, Um, I mean, not in 609 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: a broken home. So I've never had none of my 610 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: close relatives are close family members I've ever died, So 611 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: I really actually never had that thing to say, you know, 612 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: I would just say not playing football, don covid it 613 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: was pretty hard, but um, this is pretty terrible, you 614 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And having gone through that and 615 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: now trying to come out through the other side, it's 616 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: it's really awesome to see that I could work through 617 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: that and my mentality a thought like waivered a bit. 618 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: It's still the same and I'm still striving to be 619 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: where I am. I know you're close with your family. 620 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: Was that the key to getting through it? Of course? 621 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: Of course talking to them mostly almost every day, and 622 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: then some days I didn't want to talk to them, 623 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: I didn't want to talk to anybody. I had my 624 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: teammates so I couldn't get away from and they picked 625 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: me up. So um, yeah, it was. It was people 626 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: around me have just kind of been, um, a very 627 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: key key point in every my all my life, all 628 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: my aspect of life, you know, whether it's going through 629 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: college and going through being transitioned from America year to 630 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: hear and then every every step of my life, the 631 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: people around me have played a huge role and helped 632 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: me get to where I am. All right, we'll wrap 633 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: it up with some wildcard questions. Now for Joseph Osi, 634 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: do you have any hidden talents, hidden talents. I don't 635 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: know if this will count as a hidden talents. It's 636 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: just he said a fun fact. When I get tired enough, 637 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,959 Speaker 1: I sleep with my eyes open. I don't don't like 638 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: I said. I don't know if it's a hidden talents. 639 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: It's kind of involuntary. But if I get tired enough, 640 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: I will I will sleep with my eyes open. And um, 641 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: I didn't believe it at first, but my shiblings make 642 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: sure they recorded recorded some videos of me doing it, 643 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: so now I believe it. But yeah, if I get 644 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: tired enough, my eyes will just stay open. I say 645 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: that being asleep, I like sounds like a lizard quality 646 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: or something enough, if you have a little bit of 647 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: a mixed DNA or something pretty wild. Yeah, but yeah, 648 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: that's that's what I could think of right now. All right, 649 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: I consider that a hidden talent. I'm the flip side. 650 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: Is there anything that you will admit to being absolutely 651 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: terrible at the guitar? I U during my injury phase 652 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: last year, I tried to pick up the guitar. I 653 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: had a roommate Whide Hubert. He was phenomenal at it. 654 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: He tried to teach me. I am just my fingers 655 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: are too fat, and I dislocated my left pinky in college, 656 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: so I can never get it to control and get 657 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: it it. It was horrible, it was I got frustrated. 658 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: It was an impulse buy. First of all, I saw 659 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: him play it one night. I bought the thing. After 660 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: a week, I gave it back to him. I was 661 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: done with that thing. Yeah, a horrible A plane. The guitar, 662 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: you might have to try trombone or a trumpet, something 663 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: with less. I was a percussionist in the fifteen and 664 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: sixth grade. I don't know why I didn't pick up 665 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: a piano or something like that, but that's what it is. 666 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: Who is your all time favorite athlete and any sport? 667 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: And why dda drug grew up he's a professional soccer player. 668 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: Grew up watching him playing soccer. You know, I mentioned 669 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: soccer being in Houston in Nigeria, so Washington play watched 670 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: him time and time again. Um do what did do 671 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: what it takes to win, put his team on his back, 672 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: and I just I loved it. What do you like 673 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: to spend your money on my family? I spent a 674 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,479 Speaker 1: lot of my money in my family, and I don't 675 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: mind it, you know, I just I just like taking 676 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: care of him, like being that kind of playing that 677 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: caretaker role. I believe that my family, my mom and dad, 678 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: have been through a lot, and by God's grace, I'll 679 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: be able to keep taking care of him for as 680 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: long as I need to. All right, final fun fact, 681 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: this one's a little bit deep. If you could meet 682 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: anybody in history, who would that person be? I would 683 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: like to because I know there's a lot of speculation 684 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: about who built the Pyramids. I like to go back 685 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: and just take a peek, or maybe not even meet them, 686 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: but just see how they did it. If it truly 687 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 1: is with you know, sticks and levers and whatever the 688 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: right or if it was with something else, some technology 689 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: that's lost who knows, you know what I mean? And 690 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: the way those stones were cut. Did they do it 691 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: with water? Did they have a system where they ran 692 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: water through a finite point and it just cut through 693 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: the stone, because I know water is very strong with 694 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: a strong current. I don't know. Yeah, So I definitely 695 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: like to go meet whoever built the pyramids and just 696 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: chat with them. That's a tremendous answer. And trust me, 697 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: the first person to say they would like to see 698 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: the Pyramids being built.
