Speaker 1: by Bengal Jim Foster and friends, which was awesome by

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: the way, there was a Cincinnati based magician in attendance

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: named Keith Mohler, and he's fantastic. His specialty is close

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: up magic, where you are right next to him and

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: still have no clue how he pulls off his illusions.

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: Keith is available to entertain at corporate events, private parties, etc.

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: dot Com. Now let's get to football. I'll be discussing

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: training camp with my broadcast partner Dave Lapham on a

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: regular basis, but rather than simply sharing our observations, I

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: thought it might be fun to add some of the

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: most interesting things we've heard coming out of the locker room.

31
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: All right, lap, We're going to do something a little

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: bit different. As we discussed the first several days of

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: training camp, I've compiled some of my favorite comments from

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: players and coaches that we are going to drop in

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: as we discuss some of the big stories so far.

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: So let's start with the biggest story of all, and

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: that is Joe Burrow as he returns from risk surgery.

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: They gave him day three off, but they certainly haven't

39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: babied him On the first couple of days, he threw

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: to all levels of the field. His passes had zip.

41
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: I think everybody agreed that he looked pretty darn good.

42
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Here are t Higgins and andre Yosi Vash describing Joe's throws.

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: He threw me a ball so deep today. I was like, man, man,

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: he looked good. Man, he looked good and excited for him.

45
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: He looks like, you know, did Joe?

46
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: We went, Joe. They'll see in the Super Bowl.

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Run is a burrow overthrow a good thing at this point,

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: just seeing him married out like that.

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's what I like.

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Man.

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: I was, I had to get my legs back. Man,

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put that one on me. He put it

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: out there where I can go get it, and I

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: just sure I couldn't get there.

55
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: But man, it's nice to see. Every ball was very catchable.

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: He was launching that thing down the field.

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 4: You've seen it a couple of times, so I think

58
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: that you know that that period after Ota is really

59
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: just chilled and rehabbed, and he came back fiery for sure.

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: All right.

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Lap Joe says his passes are basically going where he

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: wants them to. Sometimes they don't spin quite the way

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: he wants them to, at least not yet, but overall

64
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: he's very happy. How would you describe the Joe Burrow

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: that you've watched so far?

66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 6: I describe him as the ball's come out coming out

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: of his hand exceptionally well, and it's coming out accurately.

68
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 6: I do agree with him. I think he's putting the

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 6: ball exactly where he wants to. I think he's putting

70
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 6: the ball uh there with power and velocity. I do

71
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 6: think the workouts that he that he had where he's

72
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 6: put on ten or fifteen pounds of muscle, has definitely

73
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: shown in not only his physical stature and maybe ability

74
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 6: to absorb kind intact and all that sort of thing,

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 6: but in a strowing arm. I think I think he's

76
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 6: just he's stronger, and I think he's I think he's

77
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: ready for a big season. I do agree with Tea.

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 6: I mean, I think his deep ball is deeper and

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 6: and he's he's added some added some length to that

80
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 6: deep ball for sure. And I do agree with t

81
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: that wide receivers now are getting their football legs back

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 6: because he can run sprints all day, but getting in

83
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 6: and out of cuts and doing football things are are

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 6: a little bit different, and tracking deep balls, you know,

85
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 6: takes a little bit of time as well. It doesn't

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 6: just happen overnight. But I'm I'm encouraged by what I

87
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: see with Joe and his receivers. And I mean Jamar

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 6: hasn't even hit the field yet, and Tea has been

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 6: you know, on and off the football field, and then

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 6: Joe himself has been off the football field. So it's

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 6: a small sample size. There's miles to go before everybody rests,

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 6: but the initial stages of the journey looked pretty good.

93
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: While most of the world is focused on Burrow for

94
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, I know you paid a lot of attention

95
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: to first round draft pick of Marius Mims. He's wearing

96
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the number seventy one. He told me he chose it

97
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: because that was Willie Anderson's number when he played for

98
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals, the most dominant right tackle in team history.

99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: Here's Big Willie on what he saw the first time

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: he watched a Marius Mims.

101
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 5: The tall, big guy with great feet, basketball player, feats

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: strong ass hands. I mean he put his hands on

103
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: you can either stop or you go backwards, which is

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: always a good thing. At tackle. But the most impressive

105
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 5: thing I like about him is his athletic ability to

106
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: be that big. You can see his legs, its athletic legs.

107
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: It's impressive to watch.

108
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Here's my take on a Marius Mims. He was the

109
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: eighteenth pick in the draft. Six quarterbacks went in the

110
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: top twelve. There were eight offensive tackles taken in the

111
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: first round. In a normal year, Marius Mims looks like

112
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: a top ten, maybe even top five pick. To me,

113
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: do you agree totally?

114
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 6: I mean, his size and movement skills are almost beyond words.

115
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 6: Can't find right words to describe it. It is ra

116
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 6: It is so unique. I mean, his his skill set

117
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 6: is off the charts. He has he has traits that

118
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 6: could lead to greatness for a number of years. I

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 6: mean this, this guy is so special physically, it's remarkable.

120
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: And we've talked about this many times before. In any

121
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: athletic endeavor, it starts with your feet and ends with

122
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 6: your hands. And like Willie says, he's he's got like

123
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 6: dancers feet. He called it basketball feet. I mean he

124
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 6: is he is so light on his feet, but not

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 6: light to the point where he can't get that foot

126
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 6: in the ground and anchor on you right now, he's

127
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 6: just gifted. And then when he when he that's that's

128
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 6: to start the process. And then to finish it. You

129
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 6: have to have strong hands, and he will finish you

130
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 6: with those big old myths. Man. When he clamps on you,

131
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 6: you're done. It's it's like he's got you. He's you're

132
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 6: as prisoner. Man.

133
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: You see things when you watch offensive line drills that

134
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: I would never possibly see. Is there anything in particular

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: with him that you just say wow? That is on you?

136
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

137
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 6: For a guy his size Dan, you know, six eight

138
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 6: plus or whatever, for him to be able to bend correctly,

139
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 6: you know, bended his knees, not bended his waist to

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 6: get that body down and get the pad level down

141
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 6: is pretty spectacular, you know. And yeah, and has change

142
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 6: the direction again. He did get Sam beat him inside.

143
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: And it's not like, you know, every single time he's

144
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 6: not going to get beaten inside.

145
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: It will happen.

146
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 6: But boy, can he change direction and get inside as

147
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 6: well as just about anybody. And and the other thing

148
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 6: about him, those are all the physical things. The other

149
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: thing about him, he's a sponge man. He's he's right

150
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: on with his eyes are locked in on his coaches.

151
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 6: He's asking questions to the veterans, And when I asked

152
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 6: the veterans, what kind of questions? Really good questions? Man,

153
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 6: It's obvious that he's been studying and he's asking, you know,

154
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 6: advanced questions, advanced plays, some questions, not you know, questions

155
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 6: like what that's a dumb ass question, you know, not

156
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 6: that type of thing.

157
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: So he's getting rapped with the first team at tackle

158
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: because Trent Brown is on the non football injury list.

159
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: He's been working out on the reheab field every day.

160
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: What's your concern level there, if there's any concern at all.

161
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't think there's a huge amount of

162
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 6: concern missing. What he's missing isn't isn't pivotal. He's going

163
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: into his tenth year. He's the only guy in the roster,

164
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 6: by the way, that is going into his tenth year.

165
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 6: Everybody else is a single digit player on this football team.

166
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 6: Is a young football team that's got a lot of talent.

167
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 6: Duke Tobin and his folks are put together another very

168
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 6: very good roster. There's no question, but he knows what

169
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 6: he needs to do. It's early and I don't have

170
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 6: any huge concern right now. Worst case scenario for him,

171
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 6: he's an insurance policy. I mean, if Mims comes on

172
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 6: and plays really well and they decide to start him

173
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 6: the last tackle to start his first game as rookie,

174
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: as the legendary Anthony Munoz. If Mims is that good

175
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: and he can start at the tackle position in the

176
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 6: NFL his first, you know, regular season game as a rookie,

177
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 6: you got a heck of an insurance policy there. And

178
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 6: you know, and Trent Brown can still play at a

179
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 6: high level. So I think they're in a pretty good,

180
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 6: pretty good situation. They're at that right tackle position.

181
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: After the third practice of camp, I tweeted out that

182
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: my most impressive players so far, admittedly in a tiny

183
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: sample size, has been wide receiver Andre Yosi Vash. He's

184
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: been spending a lot of time in the slot. He's

185
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: been making catches all over the field. Here's Jake Browning

186
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: comparing Yosi Vosh's year two jump to t Higgins.

187
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 7: I see a guy that's going to do a second year,

188
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 7: and it's a really hard worker. And so I wasn't

189
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 7: here for Tea's first year or second, But I don't know,

190
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 7: a lot of people have said like his whatever development

191
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 7: from year one to year two is really big, and

192
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 7: so you know, I wasn't here for that, but I

193
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 7: would say it's something that where you have a guy

194
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 7: that played in IVY League kind of gets thrown in

195
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 7: there good amount, probably more than you would have anticipated.

196
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 7: Plays well as battling, but then he gets a whole

197
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 7: offseason to go train like a pro, and you know,

198
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 7: he's not worrying about his forty time, he's worrying about releases,

199
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 7: not worrying about a shuttle, He's worrying about receiver training. Look,

200
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 7: and so you know it is it's just day three,

201
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 7: but he has had a very good camp up till now,

202
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 7: and I'm excited to see what he can do.

203
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd has gone, Jamar Chase hasn't practiced yet. What

204
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: have been your impressions of Yosi Vash and the other

205
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: receivers that have been out there.

206
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 6: I think very impressive. Yosi Vash to me, like you know,

207
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 6: Jake's talking about from year one to year two, particularly

208
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 6: going from the IVY League competition to the National Football League,

209
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 6: that had to be like WHOA. That had to be

210
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 6: a big adjustment, even for a guy as smart as

211
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 6: Yosi and he he is extremely intelligent, not just raw

212
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 6: intelligence Princeton, but I mean he's got very good football

213
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 6: like you as well. And two guys that I thought

214
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 6: have really done a really big time job in the

215
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 6: off season improving their route running, Chase Brown and Yosi,

216
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 6: and I think it's showing. And I think he sees

217
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 6: things faster. He's running very very good routes. He's always

218
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 6: been an incredible athlete. He's got six for three inch height,

219
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 6: long arms, he can high point a ball contested catch,

220
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: he can separate, he can run after catch. I mean,

221
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 6: there's really not much that he can't do. So I

222
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 6: think that as a as a football player, year one

223
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 6: to year two, you look to make big gains. I

224
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 6: mean that's when, man, I didn't know what I didn't

225
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 6: know last year. Look at it in the offseason, when

226
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 6: you're looking at a tape, when you're thinking back on things,

227
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 6: you're like, oh my gosh, man, what was I doing?

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 6: What was I thinking?

229
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

230
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 6: I really didn't know what to think. And now you

231
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: come back in year two, you have all those experiences

232
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 6: under your belt and you go through another off season

233
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 6: where you're not training to get drafted and all that

234
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 6: sort of thing. It's a much different offseason, the pace

235
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 6: of it, everything. You can just settle into your work

236
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 6: routine and he worked. Chase Brown worked a lot of

237
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 6: these first year guys going into the second year worked man.

238
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 6: And it's it's shown your.

239
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: Mention if Chase Brown is the perfect segue because he

240
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and andre Jo Sivas trained with the same well known

241
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach in the offseason. Chase Brown is obviously

242
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: a running back. Here's Chase on the benefits of that training.

243
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: Went all in on, you know, trying to be the

244
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: best version of myself as far as receiving.

245
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: The ball and protection.

246
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 4: And you know, I really want to upgrade in that

247
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 4: aspect of my game, especially if I want to take

248
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: a step forward in this offense in this league. So

249
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: that's where I focus on this entire offseason, dedicated.

250
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: Countless hours to it, and you know, I'm just looking

251
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: forward to putting in on.

252
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Chase averaged four yards per carry as a rookie, more

253
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: than eleven yards per catch as a rookie. Where do

254
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: you see that improvement after his work with the wide

255
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: receivers coach.

256
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean his his route running ability is much improved.

257
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 6: Markedly improved. You know, he's always been a burner. I

258
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 6: mean he can just he can outrun anybody, but changing speeds,

259
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 6: you know, accelerating, decelerating at the proper time, seeing your

260
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 6: hipskin and then out of cuts, getting separation. And he's

261
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 6: always been a decent catch of the football. I don't

262
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 6: think people really knew or expected that. But I like

263
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 6: the other thing he talked about, let's pick up. I mean,

264
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 6: he's five to eleven, well over a two hundred pounds.

265
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 6: He can. He's a stout guy.

266
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: He can.

267
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 6: It's it's you can't have a situation where every time

268
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 6: he's on the football field. Oh, they're never gonna ask

269
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 6: him to pick up blitzes. You know, that's that's not

270
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 6: part of his game. All he's going to do is

271
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 6: get out of the backfield and run routes. You might

272
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 6: as well just line him up on the slot at

273
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 6: that point, you know. So I think I think he

274
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: has the proper mindset to attack everything and improve on

275
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: your strengths and make your weakness's strengths. That's what you

276
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 6: try to do as a professional athlete, and I think

277
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 6: he's really done a pretty good job of it. His

278
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 6: first off season.

279
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: Let's turn to defense and another member of last year's

280
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: draft class, DJ Turner. He had three pass breakups on Friday.

281
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: I heard some of his teammates calling him mister PBu.

282
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Now that's not necessarily a compliment, because they'd like to

283
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: see him intercept some of those passes and not just

284
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: break them up. But in any case, here's Mike Hilton

285
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: on the improvement that he sees in DJ Turner a.

286
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 8: Year two jumping that people expect it, you know, year

287
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 8: one being a rookie houstone to substituations. Obviously, Chido comes

288
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 8: back from his injury and him pretty much starting his

289
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 8: whole rookie year and it's took but he that was

290
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 8: great experience of for him and now he's going to

291
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 8: year two with a lot more confidence and belief in itself.

292
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 8: So we expect him to be on our top guys.

293
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: As we do this interview, Cam Taylor Britt hasn't practiced

294
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: yet after having his tonsils taken out. DJ Turner has

295
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: made a bunch of plays he has.

296
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 6: I mean he's taken advantage of advantage of his opportunities,

297
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 6: and I mean when when a guy is out for

298
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 6: an extended period and he's like the number one corner.

299
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 6: And that's what Cam Taylor brid is going into this

300
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 6: training camp. When you're number one guy is out, everybody

301
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 6: else ratchets up. I mean, it's next man up. So now,

302
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: not only additional reps come additional reps against a higher

303
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 6: caliber player, also comes from a matchup standpoint. So when

304
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: you get that opportunity, you want to capitalize, you want

305
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 6: to make good on it. And he is I mean,

306
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 6: he's he can, he can put his foot in the ground,

307
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 6: change direction. I mean, he's a burner. I mean, he's

308
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 6: one of the fastest guys in the league probably, but

309
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 6: he can also you know, change direction. That that's that's

310
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 6: that's a rare combination. And you know, it's interesting you

311
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 6: look at contested catches. Well, every time there's a contested catch,

312
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 6: that means the defender covered him pretty damn well. There's

313
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 6: no separation. So in the contested catch situation, what's happening

314
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 6: is the receiver high point making a play on ball. Now, now,

315
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 6: now you got to work on something to get the

316
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 6: ball off of them. Are you getting you're sure of

317
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 6: past breakups?

318
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 3: Which he is.

319
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 6: Okay, that's the next step. The final step is catch

320
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 6: the bad boy yourself, you know. So he understands that

321
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 6: and when when he's in those kinds of situations, he's

322
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 6: come down with some of those some of those takeaways,

323
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 6: some of those turnovers, Louis and Arrumo, all his defensive

324
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 6: buddies will be carrying them off the field on their shoulders.

325
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: DJ is competing with Dax Hill for the starting outside

326
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: corner spot on the opposite side of Cam Taylor Britt.

327
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: Dax played slot corner at Michigan. He rarely played outside corner.

328
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: Here's lou Ana Arumo on why they are trying him

329
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: in that spot.

330
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 9: Well, I think he's got traits that some of the

331
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 9: best that have ever done it have. And then when

332
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 9: I say that, I mean length, speed, athleticism. You know,

333
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 9: if you're gonna draw up an outside corner he had.

334
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,479
Speaker 9: He hits all the check marks on the on the dimensions.

335
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 9: Now going to do it playing and play out as

336
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 9: you know, as you said, he played slot corner in

337
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 9: at Michigan. But you know, I'm really anxious to see

338
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 9: him do it, and he's embraced it. He's a great,

339
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 9: great guy and wants to do well, and so we're

340
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 9: excited to see him, It's gonna be fun.

341
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: There's a pretty strong words from lou Ana Romo. I

342
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: think Dax can always move inside. Maybe he will eventually

343
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: replace Mike Hilton as the slot corner, hopefully somewhere down

344
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: the road, quite a bit down the road, because Mike's

345
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: got a lot of good football left in him. But

346
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: if Dax Hill proves to be good on the outside,

347
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: that is such a valuable spot that it would be

348
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: an enormous positive for the team. That's why they're playing

349
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: him outside.

350
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 6: Right absolutely and DJ Turner one year difference at Michigan.

351
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 6: I mean, there were teammates in that back end at Michigan.

352
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: So when you're playing with a guy that you played

353
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 6: with in your collegiate career, there's just a the familiarity

354
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 6: aspect of that is something that shouldn't be discounted. I

355
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 6: mean that that's a that's a scenario I think that

356
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 6: people take for granted or don't even really think about.

357
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 6: But it just gives your comfort level and your surroundings

358
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 6: kind of thing. But he has all the traits. I mean,

359
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 6: he can flip his hips. That's what I was wondering about.

360
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 6: I wanted to see him, you know, on a deep ball, backpedal,

361
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 6: flip his hips and rum guy man smooth, very smooth transition.

362
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 6: I think he's making now, you know. Will there be roadblocks? Yeah,

363
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 6: I mean everybody, everybody has problems. Everybody, you know, nobody's

364
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 6: perfect doing anything in this game of football. The key

365
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 6: is when something does go wrong, the guys that have

366
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 6: successful long period of time can compartmentalize it, learn from it,

367
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 6: get over it, and move on. And and at that position,

368
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 6: at the cornerback position, like they say, one trait you

369
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 6: have to have is amnesia. I mean, if you do

370
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 6: get beaten badly, you can't harbor it. You can't you know,

371
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 6: dwell on it. You can't wallow in it, because then

372
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 6: one bad play will turn into two, R three or

373
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 6: four and at that point it's over.

374
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Defensive line is one of the key positions we're all watching.

375
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: They signed Sheldon Rankins, They drafted Chris Jenkins and McKinley

376
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Jackson in the second and third rounds. But the guy

377
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: who's caught my eye and the early portion of camp

378
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: has been Sam Hubbard. He had ankle surgery just days

379
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: after the season ended. He looks reinvigorated. He would have

380
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: had a sack of Joe Burrow the other day. If

381
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: you're allowed to hit the quarterback. Here's Sam and being healthy.

382
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great, you know.

383
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 10: I just being an athlete again, moving how I want

384
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 10: to move, running at top speed and cutting. You know,

385
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 10: Joe got out of the pocket and I was chasing them,

386
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 10: you know, making cuts and tracking his hip like I

387
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 10: couldn't in the past. And it just feels good. You know,

388
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 10: you never know how it's gonna feel until you get

389
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 10: out there doing football full speed again. And with two

390
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 10: of days under my belt, I'm really feeling great, getting

391
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 10: confidence and you know, looking good on film, which is excited.

392
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 10: But I want to have the best year of my

393
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 10: career this year, so I'm just getting started.

394
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: Was it hard to watch film when you worked yourself

395
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: trying to gut it out last year?

396
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, no doubt. I don't want to watch that. You

397
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 10: can't protect yourself. So I was just getting thrown around

398
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 10: out there. But you know, when you're on one leg,

399
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 10: you do what you can, and I think I fought

400
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 10: pretty well. But I want to play at a high

401
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 10: level at all times, and that's what I'm going to

402
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 10: get back to.

403
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: Sam says his goal is ten plus sacks. Can you

404
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: see it?

405
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 6: Yes, I can, I can see it. I have the

406
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 6: utmost amount of respect for Sam Harvard because what he

407
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 6: did last year is so hard, not just physically and

408
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 6: during the pain mentally saying I suck and I can't

409
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 6: do anything, you know, But I know I want to

410
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 6: do this because I want to help my football team.

411
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 6: I'm an unselfish guy, and if there's anything I can do,

412
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 6: if I'm out there on one leg or out there

413
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 6: on a half a leg or whatever it is, I'm

414
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 6: going to go out there and do it for my

415
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 6: football team. I can't tell you how much respect I

416
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 6: have for Sam Hubbard doing that, because there's a lot

417
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 6: of people out there that don't know what Sam Hubard

418
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 6: was going through an experience and that were probably ripping

419
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 6: his tail, you know. I mean, you put yourself in

420
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 6: situations like that, you know, when you decide to do

421
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 6: what Sam did. But Sam's like, you know what, so

422
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 6: be it. I'm going to go out there and play

423
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 6: for my teammates. And I thought he played at a

424
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 6: very good level. I mean, Sam's obviously got a tremendous

425
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: amount of personal pride. He is very very hard on himself.

426
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 6: I didn't see him getting thrown around. I mean, you know,

427
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 6: I mean everybody is every once in a while, it

428
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 6: happens to everybody. But for him to play like that

429
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 6: was extraordinary. Now he's back physically, and you know I

430
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 6: would have six and a half sacks on one leg

431
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 6: I think something like that last year. Yeah, I can

432
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 6: see him getting ten on two healthy legs. And that

433
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 6: deal with Joe Burrow. I remember, we used to do

434
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 6: this drill called Mirrow dodge. You know, it was a

435
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 6: shadow drill between cones like maybe eight yards and we

436
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 6: do it against defensive line and they try to like,

437
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 6: you know, fake us out. You know, it's almost like

438
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 6: you're playing tag in a very short space. And that

439
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 6: was a tough drill to do against these edge rushers

440
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 6: when I was playing. You know, they're quick and smaller

441
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 6: and all that. He's doing it against a quarterback that's

442
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 6: a hell of an athlete, and he's mirroring every move

443
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 6: Like wow, I mean that is an athlete, an incredible athlete.

444
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 6: I mean this guy we know lacrosse, defensive back, linebacker,

445
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 6: defensive line and his career at Moler. I mean, he

446
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 6: is an athlete and what he is more than anything.

447
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: He is a tough, minded, competitive team football player. Love

448
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 6: Sam Harbard.

449
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: I mentioned Rankins, Jenkins, and Jackson. Joseph Osai is another

450
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: player that we are all focused on this camp. What

451
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: have you seen so far out of Joseph Osai?

452
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Joseph Osai has taken advantage of the

453
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 6: opportunity with the h Boys out a little bit. You know,

454
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 6: Sam had had a veteran day, and Trey's missed a

455
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 6: couple of days due to getting nicked up a little bit.

456
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 6: And you know, I think Osai has done a nice

457
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 6: job taken advantage of additional snaps that have been presented

458
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 6: to him, you know, at the edge position. I think

459
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 6: Joseph Si and Keem Davis gather have said, you know what,

460
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 6: got a chance here? You know, guys are down. You don't,

461
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: you don't want it, you don't, you don't look for it.

462
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 6: Is it a veteran day, is it an injury, is

463
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 6: it con selectomy, you know, whatever the heck it is.

464
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 6: But when those when those snaps present themselves, you want

465
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 6: to capitalize. You want to take advantage of the opportunities.

466
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 6: And that's what these guys are doing. And again, you

467
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 6: know there are number of snaps ratchet up and the

468
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 6: people that are going against become even more favor or

469
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 6: a matchup that if I do well against this guy,

470
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 6: I'm really gonna get noticed by the coaching staff. I mean,

471
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: it's all about gaining the trust of your teammates, your

472
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 6: coaches if you're going to make this football team. And then,

473
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 6: like we talked about Dan, you know there's thirty one

474
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 6: other teams got tape, and there's other leagues. You know,

475
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 6: I'm not saying a guy like Joseph I have to

476
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 6: worry about playing and you know, not an NFL team,

477
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 6: but you want to maximize those reps when they present themselves.

478
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 6: He's doing it.

479
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: We are going to hear one more SoundBite. I've been

480
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: watching Mike Asiki pretty closely. He's made some nice catches

481
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: so far in camp. So I asked Jake Browning about him,

482
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: but I didn't get the answer I was expecting. Here's Jake.

483
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 7: Between him and Tanner, I think we got two of

484
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 7: the better, you know, receiving tight ends in the NFL.

485
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: I think Mike's obviously a name everybody knows, but I

486
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 7: think Tanner, you know, every time, he's kind of one

487
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 7: of those other guys that kind of bounces around early

488
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 7: in his career, kind of fighting to make a team.

489
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 7: But then all of a sudden, he plays and it's like,

490
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 7: you know, I had all the confidence in the world

491
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 7: on to him because it's just like, I don't know

492
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 7: what's going to happen. By no Tanner is going to

493
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 7: be open, and so that makes it feel a goad.

494
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 7: And he's I think he played a little quarterback at

495
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 7: some point, So he's really a really good body language

496
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 7: and I always feel like I'm on the same page

497
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 7: with him, even if I haven't had a ton of

498
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 7: reps with him, because he's just you know, he tells

499
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 7: you what he's doing with his hands and little things

500
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 7: like that that are really friendly for a quarterback.

501
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: I asked about Mike Kasicki. Jake made a point of

502
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: praising Tanner Hudson. Are we sleeping on Tanner Hudson too much?

503
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 6: Man? You're talking Tanner Hudson six ' five, Kasicki sixty

504
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 6: six and run very good routes. I mean they're they're

505
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 6: exceptional with their rout running ability and contested catch and

506
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 6: you know, they can high point a football. They get

507
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 6: a big catch radius and with those body types, and

508
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 6: they're very intelligent in terms of their route running. They're

509
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 6: always where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to

510
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 6: be there, and they're a quarterback's best friend. And we've

511
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 6: talked about it before. Guys like this, you can put

512
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 6: them out in the football field at the end of

513
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage and present a too tight information

514
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 6: and motion them out, put them in the slot, and

515
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 6: you can go from twelve personnel to ten personnel without

516
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 6: a substitution, and that puts an immense amount of pressure

517
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 6: on a defensive football team. You're going to create a

518
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 6: mismatch there somewhere, and I think that the thing that

519
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 6: Jake talked about. Yeah, I don't know exactly what's gonna unfold,

520
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 6: but Tanner Hudson is always open. I think they feel

521
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 6: that way about Gasticky as well. But both of these

522
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 6: guys understand defense, understand leverage, understand coverages. They've got themselves

523
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 6: a couple of really good receiving tight ends there that

524
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 6: have versatility to do other things.

525
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: A couple more topics before we wrap this up. The

526
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: Bengals drafted Brad Robbins last year. He had an inconsistent

527
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: rookie year obviously, so they signed undrafted free agent Austin

528
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: McNamara to compete with him at training camp. This Friday,

529
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: they added an undrafted punter, Ryan Rico out of BYU,

530
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: who had originally signed with Kansas City before they let

531
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: him go. What do you make of having three punters

532
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: in camp at this stage?

533
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 6: I think that Darren Simmons, you know, I said. I

534
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 6: asked him about that. I said, boy, you brought a

535
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 6: third into the mix. He goes, I've always liked three

536
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 6: someome three ways. Whatever you want to however you want

537
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 6: to tournament, he said, I love that number three. I

538
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 6: think it's just okay, competition's on. You know, It's like,

539
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 6: don't don't take anything for granted. You know, I think

540
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 6: I'm not saying mind games or anything like that. I

541
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 6: think they're looking for the best answer.

542
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 5: You know.

543
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 6: I don't think that that Darren wants to go through

544
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 6: another season like he went through last year, and I

545
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: don't think anybody does. The player does either, so and

546
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 6: I got to give a lot of credit to him

547
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 6: as well. I mean, you talk about guys that you know,

548
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 6: worked worked their body a little bit. I mean Brad

549
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 6: Robbins is a good ten to fifteen pounds, bigger and

550
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 6: stronger himself. I mean he and a lot of that

551
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 6: is is like strength. I mean he's he's driving the

552
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 6: ball a lot, a lot better. I just think that

553
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 6: that Darren Simmons is going to leave no stone unturned

554
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: in terms of making sure that that aspect of the

555
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 6: kicking game is in the best order it possibly can be.

556
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 6: When training campaigns.

557
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: Final thing you had Ted Karras on You're in the

558
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: Trenches podcast recently sponsored by First Star Logistics, he is

559
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: making no secret of the fact that this team needs

560
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: to get off to a better start. Sometimes guys, yeah,

561
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: they won't address it directly. He's not having any of that.

562
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: He says, hey, we cannot fall behind again after being

563
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: going to each of the last two years. Do you

564
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: see any difference at camp? Is there a different sense

565
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: of urgency? Is there anything about the way that they

566
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: are attacking training camp that strikes you as all right,

567
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: they're doing that in order to get off to a

568
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: better start.

569
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I see competition, you know, definitely, but it's

570
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 6: so early yet. When pads come on, that'll be a

571
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 6: good indicator to me, particularly with the guys in the trenches.

572
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: You know.

573
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 6: But I thought last year, Dan, I thought they really

574
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 6: worked hard against each other. I really did. They just

575
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 6: you know, it just didn't work out. But I do

576
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: think there's nothing wrong, you know, the elephants in the room.

577
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 6: I mean, why try to hide them? You know. It's

578
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 6: like any of you young guys that didn't experience this

579
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 6: last year, I'm going to tell you about it, and

580
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 6: guys that we went through it and ain't happening again. Boys,

581
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 6: you know, I mean, it's like that has to be,

582
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 6: has to be. One of the early goals is to

583
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 6: get off to a good start, and as we know,

584
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 6: three out of the first four games in their schedule.

585
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 6: Most pundits would say they could be three and one,

586
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 6: they were all winnable, they could even go four and

587
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 6: all whatever. But they they getting off to a winning

588
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 6: start and not having a crawl out of a losing record,

589
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 6: particularly in the division, and being only two to one

590
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 6: and two in the division, you know, I mean they

591
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 6: only have three division games in their first eleven games,

592
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 6: then they got three in the final six games. So

593
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 6: you don't want you don't want to in those eleven games.

594
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 6: You don't want to be one and two in your division,

595
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 6: that's for sure, and have to you know, really in

596
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 6: the last six games of the season almost run the

597
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 6: table in your division. That would even put more pressure

598
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 6: on you. So there is a sense of urgency. I think,

599
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 6: who let's let's not make it tough on ourselves. Let's

600
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 6: get off to a better start.

601
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Great stuff, as always, appreciate your time. Let's go watch

602
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: practice number four.

603
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 6: Let's do it. Dan, you're the man.

604
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: As you may have read or heard in the Bengals

605
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: practice on Sunday night, Sam Hubbard injured his knee and

606
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: left the field on a cart after a collision with

607
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: tight end Mike Kasiki. Thankfully, it does not appear to

608
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: be serious. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, who was in attendance,

609
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: Hubbard had an MRI later that night. The test results

610
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 1: were good and Sam should be okay. Before we get

618
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: getting to know the Bengals draft picks this year by

619
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: asking them five questions that are a little bit different

620
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: from the norm. We've been going in order, starting with

621
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: the Marius Mims, and we've reached draft pick number eight,

622
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: the second of the bengals two six round selections. Time

623
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: for five questions with rookie defensive end Cedric Johnson out

624
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: of all miss question number one, I read that your

625
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: dad is a former marine. We think of military parents

626
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: as being disciplinarians. Was that the case for you? You

627
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: and how did it impact your childhood?

628
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: Nah? Not too crazy, actually, my dad, I mean he

629
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: was he instilled in us like discipline and like having

630
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: having odd things together, as you expect from a military guy.

631
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 3: But it was the my mom was really the disciplinarian,

632
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 3: like she was the one keeping everything in order to

633
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: keep things straight, giving us a whooping here and there,

634
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 3: you know. But it was it was really it was

635
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: really more so on my mom.

636
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Did your dad use the military clock? Was, you know

637
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: two o'clock fourteen hundred?

638
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, no, he didn't he didn't do

639
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: us like that. He kept it simple for us. He

640
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 3: kept it simple for us, all right.

641
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: Question number two for Cedric Johnson. He went to Ole Miss,

642
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: where the speed limit on campus is eighteen miles an

643
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: hour because that was Archie Manning's uniform number back in

644
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: the day. Did you know that when you saw that

645
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: eighteen mile an hour sign the first time?

646
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely not, But I quickly learned being on campus there,

647
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: they they teach that kind of thing pretty quickly, and

648
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: especially we used to have a it used to be

649
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: an old trophy room in there where it was like

650
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: all the different guys that graduated from Old Miss, Argie

651
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: man and Eli like that. It was a whole room

652
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: just dedicated to those guys. So, like you learned pretty quickly.

653
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: I gotta say, as far as college traditions go, the

654
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: eighteen mile an hour speed limits pretty cool.

655
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nah, that's pretty tough. You got just set speed

656
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: limits straight for you. Like, that's pretty exclusive, all right.

657
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: Question number three for Cedric Johnson. Every year a college

658
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: football writer named Bruce Feldman comes out with his Freaks

659
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: list of the top one hundred athletic freaks in college football.

660
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: You made the list a couple of years ago. How

661
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: big of an honor is it among college football players

662
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: to be on the Freaks List?

663
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 3: Pretty big, I feel, I mean just being able to

664
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: be pointed out like that, just among all the different

665
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: college athletes. You know, there's plenty of guys that are

666
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: putting in work, working on or to become as stronger,

667
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: become as fast as they can, and just to get

668
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: their recognition and mit the lot.

669
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: Do you know that some of your current teammates are

670
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: former Freaks List guys?

671
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:02,360
