1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: I just want to know, after getting an opportunity earlier 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: in the season and then taking a step back and 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: now being the regular starter on the outside again, what 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: do you think you've done better in the second opportunity 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: and how much how much more have you uh grown 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: in that role compared to maybe earlier in the year 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: when you got here so late in camp. Yeah, you 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: know when I when I got here after they completed camp. 9 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean I don't I don't blame that. I think 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: I caught up to the playbook pretty fast, you know 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,319 Speaker 1: what I mean. Coaches got me up to speed. So 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean when they we changed, uh well, Ryan Lewis 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: playing a little bit, I mean, it didn't really affect 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: me too much. I was just trying to stay ready 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: to play. I was working on my craft, whether doing 16 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: scout team reps or just watching them and seeing what 17 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: JB and Ryan Lewis would do and trying to, you know, uh, 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: build my game off their correction. So I mean, I've 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: just been doing the same thing since day when I 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: got here, just working hard, trying to be the best 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: version of me. And then once my chances casts staying 22 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: read believe Hey, Isaac, uh, let's talk a little bit 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: about this matchup specifically, and no Logan Ryan and coach 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: George both called this maybe the best receiving group in 25 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: the NFL. Do you see it that way? Because I 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people think of the Bengals 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: trio that way. Yeah, I mean I think a lot 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: of people do see it like that. I mean, they got, uh, 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: three guys who could be number one's on basically any 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. So we're preparing like it and 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: a good group of guys, So we gotta make sure 32 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: we on our stuff. How much does that help a 33 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: young quarterback? So obviously you guys are gonna face either 34 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Alan or Finley. I mean, there's probably a lot of 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: things you could do to a young quarterback, but to 36 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: do those receivers take the pressure off him. I mean, yeah, 37 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: I played with Brandon ada Lestia in Denver, so he's 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: a good dude. I mean, he's a good player. He 39 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: can make all the throws. So we're preparing like you know, 40 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: he's a starter and he can make all the throws. 41 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Like I said, so we just got to go out 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: there and don't care who's that quarterback to do our job. 43 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: Does that make you, like the most important man on 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: the defense. Who could tell the other ten guys about 45 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: your ex teammate Brandon Allen Man. I mean all I 46 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: know from him is just when when he was on 47 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: private squad with us, and that's all I really know. So, 48 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: like I told a couple of my teams, he can 49 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: make all the throws, so we're not taking them lately. 50 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: I lets it going back to how late you were 51 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: acquired here. I mean, this was such a crazy situation 52 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: this season, guys deciding whether to play, opt out, whatever, 53 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: and then you decide you're gonna play, but then you 54 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: get traded after camps over to another team. You gotta 55 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: travel another city, just wondering how much of that uncertainty 56 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: was uh jarring, and how quickly you kind of stayed 57 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, got settled with it all right. I mean 58 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: after after, like after that night, after I got traded, 59 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: I was kind of like really past. That didn't take 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: me too long to process it. But I was excited 61 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: to come here and be a giant. Um. I knew 62 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: I was coming into a good situation where I'll be 63 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: to play help this team, So I'm excited to be here.
