It's the greatest thing 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: since oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies. I hate raisins I particularly 19 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: hate raisins that ruin a perfectly good oatmeal cookie. You 20 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: take a bite hoping that those little dots are chocolate chips, 21 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: only to be fooled yet again by the presence of 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: the evil raisin. Well, this past Saturday, my good friend 23 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: Megan Coffee brought oatmeal cookies to the UC football game 24 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: that did, in fact contain chocolate chips instead of deer droppings, 25 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean raisins. Megan's cookies were fantastic. So if you 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: bake and ever consider making oatmeal cookies, do everybody a 27 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: favor and go with chocolate chips instead of raisins, because 28 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: very simply, raisins ruin everything. Now let's get to the game. 29 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: It couldn't have started much better for the Bengals. His 30 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's defense got a takeaway on the Jaguars fifth play. 31 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: Minshi throws over the middle. He batted up in the 32 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: air and intercepted. Jesse Bates deflected it, Jordan Evans intercepts it, 33 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: and the Bengals will take over in Jaguar's territory at 34 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: the forty three yard line. But typical of the first 35 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: three games of the season, the Bengals failed to capitalize 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: they gained three yards in three plays and had to punt. 37 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: It turned out to be Kevin Huber's only punt all day. 38 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: The second time the Bengals got the ball, they drove 39 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: into the red zone before stalling and calling on Randy Bullock. 40 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: He has made eight out of nine field goal tries 41 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: this year. We all remember the miss, unfortunately, the snap 42 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: and the kick. It is up and it is good, 43 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: and the Bengals score first with two forty one left 44 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: in the first quarter here at Paul Brown Stadium. The 45 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: three nothing lead only lasted for about two minutes. Quarterback 46 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, who came out to warm up about two 47 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: and a half hours before kickoff in a sleeveless T 48 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: shirt to show off the guns, a crop top to 49 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: show off the abs, and a backward baseball cap to 50 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: accentuate the mullet, gave Jacksonville the lead first and ten 51 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: from the eleven yard line. Minshew, under center, takes the snap, 52 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: fakes a hand off to Robinson, throws it toward the 53 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: back left corner of the end zone. Chark is there, 54 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: touchdown Jacksonville with the Jags up seven three. The Bengals 55 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: answered with an eighty eight yard drive that brought them 56 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: within inches of the goal line. From an eye formation, 57 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: Burrow under center, he fakes a handoff to Mix and 58 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: he throws it toward the back left corner of the 59 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: end zone in his cause. No picked off took it 60 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: away from sample Are they saying that he did take 61 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: it away? The officials are discussing it in the back 62 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: left corner. It's an interception. Miles Jack came away with 63 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: a ball. Jack came away in coverage with the football. 64 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: It was a lousy call by me, and it's easy 65 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: to second guess the play call as well. Third and 66 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: goal inside the one, and rather than a quarterback sneak 67 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: or a Joe Mixon run, Burrow's pass was picked off. 68 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Here's Zach Taylor third and goal in the inchyard line. 69 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: You know you kick yourself. Well, we gotta make that point. 70 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: You know, that's a fifty fifty point that we gotta make. 71 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: And so we left a lot of points on the 72 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: field best for sure. But that was the last drive 73 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: all day where the Bengals were trying to score and didn't. 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: After Jacksonville field goal made it ten three, the Bengals 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: found the end zone for the first time one o 76 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: three left and a half, the Bengals down by seven points. 77 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: Burrow extends the hands, catches the shotgun snap, swings it right, 78 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: got by Mixon to the five board touchdown Bengals, Mixon 79 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: flying over an attempt at tackle as he makes it 80 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: to the end zone to potentially tie the game. Randy 81 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: Bullock did tie it with a pat but Jacksonville was 82 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: able to drive seventy three yards in fifty three seconds 83 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: with no timeouts remaining, and kicked the field goal to 84 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: lead thirteen ten. At the half, the Bengals were down 85 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: by three, but confident. According to Joe Burrow, you know, 86 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: we knew that if we executed the way that we're 87 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: capable of, then they weren't gonna be able to stop us. 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: And you know, we just kept that mindset and we 89 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: talked about it at halftime. We were the only ones 90 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: that had stopped ourselves all day, So we came out 91 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: on the second half and performed the way that we 92 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: were supposed to. The first drive of the second half 93 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: when seventy five yards on just five plays first and 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: ten at the thirty four yard line for Burrow and company, 95 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: Joe's under center takes the direct snap from Hopkins hands 96 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: it off to Mixing, big time, hold to the right, 97 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: twenty five sideline, twenty fifty, Yeah to the pilot, touchdown, 98 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: big goals. That thirty four yard run was Joe Mixon's 99 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: first rushing touchdown of the year. Alex Redman, who got 100 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: his first start of the year at right guard, enjoyed 101 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: the view. I mean it was awesome. Joe played his 102 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: heart out today. I think Joe plays its smart out 103 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: every every single game. You hand that guy the ball 104 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: and he's scratching, you know, every in she could get, 105 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna get. So playing with Joe, playing with you know, 106 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: Joey Burrow, guys like that, I mean, I tell this 107 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: scene could be a real good and Mixon wasn't finished, 108 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: as he scored again roughly four minutes later. Now Burrow 109 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: will line up in the shotgun, even though it's third 110 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: and less than a yard, He'll hand it to Mixing 111 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: Mixon bursting to the end the five touchdown, Joe Mixon 112 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: and the Bengals hits third of the day. I'll tell 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 1: you what, two rushing touchdowns, one touchdown receiving Joe Mixon 114 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: coming in with no touchdowns on the year, not even 115 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: halfway through the third quarter. He's got three today. Mixon 116 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: finished with twenty six carries for one hundred and fifty 117 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: one yards and two touchdowns, and had six catches for 118 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: thirty yards and another TD. All of that after being 119 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: listed is questionable because of a chest injury, and he's 120 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: not even sure how it happened. I don't know. I 121 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: think I'll slipp wrong. I was slipp wrong. Came to 122 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: work and then I don't know, it was like I 123 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: couldn't breathe heard to run, like I walked through and 124 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: then I ended up going to the hospital. I was 125 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: in the hospital for about like three hours yesterday, late 126 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: last night. So, like I said, I didn't know if 127 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: I played and then this morning and see how I felt, 128 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: and you know, doctors loved up on it, and I 129 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: was able to go out there and make some things work. 130 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Could you not breathe or did you have a pulled 131 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: chest or did you pull so I just I don't know. 132 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: It just seemed like someone was squeezing. I don't know 133 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: what it was. But I mean I felt great today 134 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: out there running. I mean, at first, it was like 135 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how it's gonna be, you know, I 136 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: went out there and just gave him all man for 137 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: my teammates, and like I said, everything was up in 138 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: the air, but you know made it happen and it 139 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: wasn't Jess Mixing. The Bengals finished with two hundred five 140 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: yards on the ground, more than doubling the average of 141 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: seventy nine rushing yards in the first three weeks. Same 142 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: places we've been running. You know, It's just guys were 143 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: really dialed in this week to the details and we 144 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: almost went overboard with that stuff to make sure that 145 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: we sent that message to our guys that it's going 146 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: to take all of it. It's not just the old line, 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: it's not just the running back. It takes everybody. And 148 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: the guys really bought it in, had a tremendous week, 149 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: did a lot of extras on their own to help 150 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: prepare for this game, and this is what the payoff 151 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: looks like. In addition to the two hundred five rushing yards, 152 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had exactly three hundred passing yards to become 153 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for 154 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: at least three bills in three straight games for the 155 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: first time in his career. Burrow wasn't sacked, although the 156 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: Jags were credited with five quarterback hits. You know, the 157 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: old line played really, really well today. They've taken a 158 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: lot of heat the last couple of weeks, and you know, 159 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: I was super happy for those guys to have the 160 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: game that they did today, and they're going to continue 161 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: to build on it. I know they are. Thought the 162 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: offense wanted a tremendous job today. You know, they kept 163 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: him clean. They had some great blocks in the run game, 164 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: tight ends as well, receivers as well, just all the 165 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: things that we talked about correcting last week coming off 166 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: the field against Philly. I thought our guys were so 167 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: dolled in this week as our best way practice we've 168 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: had in two years here. The energy was tremendous. Us 169 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: you guys took up to the field and made it count. 170 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: The Bengals final three drives ended with Randy Bullock field goals, 171 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: meaning if you take away kneel downs at the end 172 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: of each half, Cincinnati scored on its last six drives. 173 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: Hubert extends the right hand, catches the ball, puts it down. 174 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: Randy Bullocks kick is good, and the Bengals have a 175 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: thirty three to twenty two lead with one forty six 176 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: to go. A Jacksonville field goal made it an eight 177 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: point game. With eight seconds on the clock, Cook ready 178 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: to attempt the on side kick. It's the roller straight ahead. 179 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: The Bengals fall on it at the forty five yard line. 180 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard is there and that is coffin nails bam. 181 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: The final score Cincinnati thirty three, Jacksonville twenty five. Here's 182 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: Jesse Bates on win number one. It just feels really good. 183 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we spent a lot of time away from 184 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: our families. You know, you put a lot of stuff 185 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: into this. You know, our bodies don't feel good after 186 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: some games. But you know when you're and it's not, 187 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: it's not worth it. It seems like it's like dawmn, 188 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: like we need to win. You know, you play this 189 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: game to win, um and you know, to support your family. 190 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: Uh So, you know, having that first win in the 191 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: locker room, I think it helps our belief capacity continue 192 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: to go up and we're gonna build on that. Do 193 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: you feel like this was a game y'all had to win? 194 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: Was just feel like a must win game for y'all. 195 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: Giving the start and win kind of what's to come 196 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: to season? I think every game, I mean there's a 197 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: must win. Uh, but yeah, this one, I mean, we 198 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: we've been so close. Every game has been in one position, 199 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: one possession game. Um. And Josh Bonds had a hell 200 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: of a speech last night about adversity. Um. You know 201 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: you speak about you know Randy uh, mister field goal 202 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: to going over time week one came back. I mean 203 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: he's probably four for tonight. Um. Our old line played 204 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: a hell of a game. Um. You know, our defense, 205 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: we have to continue to be consistent. Um. So yeah, 206 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: I mean all around, as a whole organization, we're getting better. 207 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: So I feel really good. As for Joe Burrow, he 208 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: received the game ball after his first that FL victory. 209 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun, 210 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: but you know, it's one It's one game. There's twelve more. 211 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna enjoy this for five hours 212 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: and then come back to work tomorrow, correct the mistakes 213 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: and move on to Baltimore. Burrow, by the way, was 214 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: wired for sound during the game by NFL Film, So 215 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: we'll have some great content to look forward to this 216 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: week on Bengals dot Com and on shows like Inside 217 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: the NFL and NFL turning point. Now time for some 218 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: postgame analysis from my broadcast partner Dave lapham Lap. How 219 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: sweet it is the Bengals get their first win of 220 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: the year thirty three to twenty five over Jacksonville. And 221 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: let's give credit where credit is due. The Bengals offensive 222 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: line has been mocked. They have been ripped from coast 223 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: to coast. Well today, three hundred passing yards, two hundred 224 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: and five rushing yards, and thirty three points on the scoreboard. 225 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: Very true, and hats off to them. They did a 226 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: hell of a job. But as a form alignment, you know, 227 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: my thing was this is the test because played against 228 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: some pretty good defensive lines and they have had their 229 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: issues and they've gotten crushed as a result because they 230 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: haven't won a lot of the matchups. Well, this was, 231 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: in my mind the test because these guys were lesser. 232 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: So if you can't perform well against these guys, where 233 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: the heck are you? And then when Josh Allen went out, 234 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: you know they were even lesser than that. So I'm 235 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm proud if I played in this game. I'm proud 236 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: as a former offensive linement. I'm proud of the way 237 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: they've played. But the reality says, here we go now 238 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: to Baltimore, back in the from the frying pan, from 239 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: the fire, right into the from the frying pan, right 240 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: into the fire. I should say, you know, you're back 241 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: at Baltimore. Indianapolis has a good defense. The NFL is 242 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's tough, and I'm not saying Jacksonville's a 243 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: bunch of scrubs, but I am saying that they did 244 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: not have the front seven that the Bengals had been 245 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: playing against. You know, with the Chargers, they're they're good upfront. 246 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: They have multiple Pro bowlers up front. You know, Cleveland's 247 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: got a good rush with Miles Garrett and Philadelphia's good player. 248 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: These guys didn't have anybody like that and other guys 249 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: to complement it. So it was hopeful of a good 250 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: performance and got better than a good performance, got an 251 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: outstanding performance from the offensive line. You know, you throw 252 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: it for three hundred, rusher for over two hundred, and 253 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: you're real balance in your play selection. Balance the key, 254 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: I mean, instead of one dimensional. They allowed you know, Zach, 255 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: as a play caller said during the game, you can 256 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: close your eyes and just like pin the tail and 257 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: donkey and wow, let's call that one. I mean, it's 258 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: like they're so easy to call plays when your offensive 259 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: line is playing like that. Plus the other thing we 260 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: talked about multiple times Dan during the week and during 261 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: the game play action pass. Instead of just teeing off 262 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: and not having any respect for the run fake in 263 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: the play action pass, they actually had to legitimately say 264 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: WHOA does he have the ball or not. It's much 265 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: easier to throw the football when it's play action passed. 266 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: The pass protection light year is different, and then even 267 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: drop back protection becomes easier as well. It's trickled down. 268 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: That's very, very positive. We did an interview on Friday 269 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: with former Bengals quarterback j. T. O'Sullivan and we discussed 270 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: the number of hits and sacks that Joe Burrow had 271 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: taken through the first three games. Fourteen sacks, roughly thirty 272 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: quarterback hits. He said his words, that is unsustainable. Well, 273 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: vastly different today, and yes, you're right, the quality of 274 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: opponent's a huge factor. But no sacks and I believe 275 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: three quarterback hits. Maybe it was four, but that's okay. 276 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: That is sustainable. That is sustainable. And I think one 277 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: of the hits came out of pocket, you know, when 278 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: he created and extended on his own. So when you 279 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: do that, you are on your own. There's nothing the 280 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: offensive line can do for you there. So they he 281 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: got hit a couple of times when the offensive line 282 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: quote you know, it was their responsibility as such. Yeah, so, 283 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean the level of execution once they once they 284 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: got out of their own way, I mean, it was 285 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: so frustrating. The first quarter and a half. It was 286 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: like they had well over five hundred yards and probably 287 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: should have had fifty points or close to it, in 288 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: the high forties anyway, and you know, didn't come close 289 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: to that number because they were making mistakes, taking touchdowns 290 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: off the board by penalty, by miss execution, you know, 291 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: not you know, sample not being able to catch the 292 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: ball cleanly, ricochets off his face mask and Miles Jack's 293 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: able to make a playoff of it. So they knew, 294 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: they knew that they could, you know, push around this 295 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar defense. It was just a matter of taking 296 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: themselves off their schedule. Like we said so many times, 297 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: if that's what Joe Mixon looks like with a chest injury, 298 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: maybe we need to hit him in the chest before 299 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: every game. What a weird situation. He wasn't on the 300 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: injury report on Friday, and after the game we learned 301 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: out why. We learned why. He said he thinks he 302 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: heard it sleeping. I mean that's what he said in 303 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: the postgame news conference. Actually had to go to the 304 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: hospital for tests to his chest on Saturday, but was 305 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: able to play and played incredibly well. Twenty five carries, 306 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one yards. That's his second all 307 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: time highest rushing total, six catches thirty yards, including a touchdown, 308 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,239 Speaker 1: three tds and all so out of kind of are 309 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: set of circumstances, he produced big time. I don't know 310 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: the position it was in when he was sleeping. I mean, 311 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: I've had my arm fall asleep. I've had different things 312 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: like that happened, but yeah, store neck, maybe my shoulder 313 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: a little. I've never woken up with like, you know, 314 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: some sort of a he felt like, he said he 315 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: couldn't felt like he couldn't breathe easily. So he must 316 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: have fallen asleep and a scrunched up, awkward, awkward position. 317 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: But you know, fortunately there was no structural problem. They 318 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: wanted to obviously, what they did was, and Paul Sparling 319 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: is noted for this. Paul Sparling errors on the side 320 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: of caution. I mean, if there's any if a player 321 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: says I'm having difficulty breathing, you go right, particularly a coronavirus. 322 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: You come into a trainer and you say I'm having 323 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: a tough time breathing and I might have slept funny, 324 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: you don't take any chances. I guess with coronavirus you'd 325 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: taken to the hospital and run some tests and make 326 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: sure that everything's okay. So I think part of it is, 327 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, the times that we're in it's it's different 328 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And if I'm a player 329 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: and you sleep right, you do wait up and it's 330 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: like having a hard time breathing. I mean that that 331 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: can you know, play with your mind a little bit, 332 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: I guess, But ultimately, you know he was fine as 333 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: we saw. I mean he was delivering, he wasn't accepting hits, 334 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: he was ditching them out. I mean, he was lowering 335 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: his squaring his pads up, lowering him running over people. 336 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean that was Joe Mixon in his finest. The 337 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: offensive line more times than not allow him to make 338 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: first cut down the football field, he caught the ball smoothly, 339 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: caught the ball in stride yards after catch. You know, 340 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: he scores in the air, scores on the ground more 341 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: than once. Blitz pick up was sound. He was, you know, 342 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: crushing people in that area. Blitz peck of Joe Mixon 343 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: played a complete football game and maybe he needs to 344 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: sleep awkwardly before the Baltimore game. In Baltimore, it's really 345 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: hard to evaluate an individual offensive lineman until you go 346 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: back and study the tape. But obviously Alex Redman makes 347 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: his first started right guard after some really shaky play 348 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks by Fred Johnson and 349 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: Billy Price. And without looking at him specifically, you look 350 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: at the overall numbers at five hundred plush yards in 351 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: thirty three points and figure, all right, maybe he wasn't great, 352 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: but it was certainly an improvement. Yeah, and again now 353 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: you have to go Apple's top apples. Who was he 354 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: playing against? And because and I liked his answer in 355 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: the presser after the game, I asked him how tod 356 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: it go? Not very good? He was self deprecating, and 357 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: I like that because you know he knows he has 358 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: miles to go before he rests. He knows he's not 359 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: a finished product right now, but what he gives them 360 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: is a physicality he you know, he had a connection 361 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: obviously with Tray and Bobby, like I thought would be 362 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: the case. You know, it wasn't a foreign situation out there. 363 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: They weren't looking at each other like what are we 364 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna do when this twist happens or when this linebacker 365 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: blitz or whatever. They had all of that and Tray 366 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: and Bobby, who were both very intelligent. They know the play, 367 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: they know the structure of the play. They know everybody's 368 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: assignment on every play, not just theirs. Alex Redman felt 369 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: like I'm between two football men'ses. I got no issue 370 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: with my assignments. I just identifying defenses and everything else. 371 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: And that's a very very comforting feeling to a guy 372 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: that missed all a training camp, you know, because of injury. 373 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: So physically where was he he You know, he knows 374 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: he still has to work on that. Mentally, he had 375 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: those guys, those book ends on either side of him 376 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: taking care of any questions, any concerns there. So all positive, 377 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: but man, when he goes to Baltimore, a little bit 378 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: different inside than what he faced today, for sure. Any 379 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: thoughts on throwing to Drew sample in the back left 380 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: corner of the end zone on third and inches are 381 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: third in goal from inches away, Yeah, I mean I was. 382 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: They were hammering Joe and they're pretty good at that point. 383 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: I would have gone up and over with him, you know, 384 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: and you know, if I didn't get it, I'd do 385 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: it again on fourth down. But you know, the play 386 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: was there. I mean, Joe threw a good ball. Drew 387 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: just didn't see it fast enough. It Hitn't right in 388 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: the face mask and ricketchhet off that and then it 389 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: was you know, moving around. They felt like he never 390 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: had a secure possession of the ball. Miles Jack took 391 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: it away from him when he was totally secure with it. 392 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: So there was no you know, shared possession of the football, 393 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: and that's what you have to have for it to 394 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: be a defensive offensive touchdown is simultaneous possession of the football, 395 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: and in their opinion, because of the ricochet effect, there wasn't. 396 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I would hindsight's always twenty twenty, 397 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: but I were to run the rock at that point 398 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: in time, for sure, you were first guessing that calling 399 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: that second. Guessing that call, the Bengals held Jacksonville to 400 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: eighty nine rushing yards. Now is only twenty attempts, so 401 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: that's still four and a half yards per attempt, But 402 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: that's about one hundred fewer rushing yards than the Bengals 403 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: had averaged on defense going into the game. It's nice 404 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: to have a lead where the opponent is forced to 405 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: put it in the air. You're exactly right, Dan. It's 406 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: also nice to eliminate a forty one yard rush with 407 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: a holding penalty so they self DESTRUCTI because now you 408 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: look at one hundred and thirty yards rushing and it's 409 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: a much different dynamic. You have running back well over 410 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: a hundred yards rushing and it's like, oh jeez, I 411 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: still can't stop the run. One hundred and thirty plus 412 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: n back a little guy gets you know, over a 413 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: hundred Offensive Player of the month. So one play, one 414 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: holding penalty gets the run game off the hook. So 415 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: what you have to do is you have to study 416 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: the tape when you win or loose. Study the tape. 417 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: All right, what happened in that play? Why did it 418 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: bust for forty one? Okay? How significant was the hole? 419 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: The hold was a big deal at the point of 420 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: attack and all ba blah blah blah. But still you 421 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: have to you know, hit your gaps, fit them, get 422 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: off the blocks, make plays. So even when you win 423 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: football games, you still have to evaluate the tape with 424 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: the utmost critical eye because you're trying to improve each 425 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: and every game. A couple of things I'm looking forward 426 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: to hearing this week. Number one, I want more details 427 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: on the Josh Bynes Saturday night's speech that apparently really 428 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: helped motivate his teammates. Jesse Bates made a point of 429 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: talking about what a great job Josh Bynes did in 430 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: some sort of team meeting on Saturday. You know, in 431 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: my mind, it's almost like a Rocky speech. Instead of 432 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: a Rocky movie, you show a team to motivate him, 433 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: it's a Rocky speech. Up gets a guy that it 434 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: was a good college program won a national championship. And 435 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: I'm undrafted on a national championship. I'm undrafted. I you know, 436 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: I go to the NFL and you know, and scratch 437 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: and claw and make a team and hang around and gosh, 438 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm on a Super Bowl winning team and I'm bouncing around. 439 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,959 Speaker 1: I get cut, you know, half a dozen times, and 440 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: I still want to continue in my career. And here 441 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: I am a college free agent in my tenth year 442 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And so he's like a 443 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: built in Rocky Balboa story that you can present to 444 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: your team and living color, you know, instead of throwing 445 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: on a movie. And I think I think it had 446 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: a big effect on a lot of guys. I mean, 447 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: this story is a good one. And he's a great speaker, 448 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: and he's a great guy. Great speaker, great guy. Yeah, 449 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: he's he's the real deal. You know, he'll he'll make plays, 450 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: who makes the mistakes. His value in that linebacker room 451 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: with all those young linebackers, who that's a big, big 452 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: plus because you have a guy that does it the 453 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: right way, knows what it's supposed to look like. All 454 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: the young linebackers think of him as football and CycL 455 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: Encyclopedia Britannic. He has an answer for everything. I mean, 456 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: he's got a lot of value and a lot of 457 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: intangible value. The other a big thing I'm looking forward 458 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: to hearing this week. Joe Burrow is Wired for Sound 459 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: Today by NFL Films, so on Inside the NFL on 460 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: Showtime on the NFL Turning Point Show on sound FX 461 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: and the Bengals website will be getting all of this 462 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: great content. We're going to hear what he was saying 463 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: on the sideline, what he was saying in the huddle. 464 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: I love the job that NFL Films does with that, 465 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: and it's going to be really cool to hear Joe 466 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: Burrow miked up in his first NFL win. I agree. 467 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: I bet if there's going to be some nuggets, some 468 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: great stuff, and we'll find out what he actually said 469 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: to Joe Mixon when he broke the huddle before he 470 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: threw that little sweet pass, because I want to leave 471 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: that in the field. Hey, NFL Films has it wired. 472 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: It might not be left on the field, But I 473 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: think what we're gonna find is this young guy does 474 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: have a lot of football IQ man. He sees a lot, 475 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: he understands a lot. You know, he's telling he's telling 476 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: his teammates things that you know, like a five year 477 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: of veteran, you know, would be telling his teammates, not 478 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: a rookie in his you know, in his fourth game, 479 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: talking about a guy that should be Vessel already for 480 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: retirement in the National Football League. The things that he's 481 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: talking about and the things that he sees. He has 482 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: an exceedingly bright future. There's no question. Four games into 483 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: the season, the Bengals have gone to the fourth quarter 484 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: with the lead three times in four games. They could 485 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: very easily be three in one. What can you do? 486 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: They're one, two and one, and now it's about to 487 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: get really tough. You mentioned at Baltimore next week, then 488 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: at Indy, then Cleveland the Browns are playing great. Then Tennessee, 489 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: a team that went to the AFC Championship Game a 490 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: year ago, after a bye week, a road game at Pittsburgh. 491 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: So the next five are going to be brutal, going 492 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: to be brutal, and three division matchups in the next five, 493 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and you've already lost a division game, 494 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: so it's time to really buckle up. You don't want to. 495 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: You don't want to be, you know, out of it 496 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: before just before between Halloween and Thanksgiving. You don't want 497 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: to be out of it in terms of the division. 498 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: With four or five division games in the books and 499 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: you haven't won one of them, and you're struggling, you know, 500 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: with just one victory. You want to you want to 501 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: build on this. You don't want it to be a 502 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: one hit wonder. You want to you want to be 503 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: a snoop foul for people down the road, and um, 504 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: hopefully they'll they'll play. They still have not played a game, 505 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: Dan where all three phases have totally been complimentary and 506 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: they've avoided mistakes, avoided, penalties avoided. You know, battists, every everybody, 507 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: every team is going to have a play that's not 508 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: executed correctly. And that's that's that's understandable. They get paid too. 509 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean they make plays and all that, but the penalties, 510 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: you know that, the assigned mistakes, all that that stuff. 511 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: You can't have a myriad of those. You know, you can, 512 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: you can maybe live with less than a handful, but 513 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: if you're into your second handful, you got problems. I 514 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: will wrap up this conversation with two words, coffin nails. 515 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Bam bam, I am. So it's on to Baltimore next Sunday. 516 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: The Ravens are three and one after beating Washington thirty 517 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: one seventeen. Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns and ran 518 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: for a third in the win. Now time for this 519 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: week's fun facts segment. I've been doing this segment since 520 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: two eleven and this week's version is one of my 521 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: all time favorites as you get to know the person 522 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: under the pads. Time for some fun facts of Bengals 523 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: defensive tackle Mike Daniels, who has been making life miserable 524 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: or NFL offensive lineman since two and twelve. Mike, if 525 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: I were an old lineman, I think you would be 526 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: the last person in the league I would want to face. 527 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: Describe yourself on game day. No, I'm really mean? Why? Frankly, No, 528 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean and focused and I'll just try to play 529 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: the game as physical and as violent as I possibly 530 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: can while maintaining my defensive responsibility. Are you trying to 531 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: demoralize the guy on the opposite side of the line. Absolutely, 532 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: And if it happens, and that's just a bonus, that's 533 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: just my mentality when I when I step onto the 534 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: football field, completely different person from who I am, you 535 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: know in everyday life. When I step on the field, 536 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: to say, it's a certain mentality that I have to 537 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: approach the game with. We're doing fun facts with Mike Daniels. 538 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: NFL films must love you because you are tremendous When 539 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: you are miked up, do you turn it up a 540 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: notch when you're wearing a mic, or do you talk 541 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: NonStop regardless? I actually tone it down when I'm wearing 542 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: a mic. That way, the sensors and the network they 543 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: don't have too much work to do. But when I 544 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: wear a mic, I'm aware I have a micro on, 545 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: so I kind of tone it down a little bit. 546 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: If anything. Do you enjoy watching those segments back after 547 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: you've been miked up? I definitely have a lot of 548 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: fun with it because it's nice to see what other 549 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: people see. And I think it's I phone with it, 550 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, and I phone when I watch any guy 551 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: who who's playing a game, you know, with that amount 552 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: of passion that they can't help but express it verbally 553 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: beginning during and after the game. We're talking to Mike Daniels. 554 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: The last line of your Wikipedia page mentioned your interest 555 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: in the Japanese cartoon genre anime, and I thought to myself, 556 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: that's cute. Three hundred pounds NFL tough guy likes cartoons. 557 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: But then I watched a twelve minute documentary He Was Anime, 558 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: where you and your parents describe the impact that that 559 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: art form has had on your life. What did anime 560 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: do for a teenage Mike Daniels. It definitely helped me 561 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: be comfortable with who I am. I didn't necessarily fit 562 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: in with a lot of my peers growing up, so 563 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: watching a lot of the protagonists in the various shown 564 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: in anime, in particular, they always had to overcome obstacles 565 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: to achieve a very significant goal, and for me, it 566 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: was to be a start on my high school football team, 567 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: then get a Division one scholarship, then be a starter 568 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: on my Colo team iwa then get drafted, then become 569 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: a starter, then go to the Pro Bowl, and now 570 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: it's get back on the field and show that I'm 571 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: still a really, really great football player. So I definitely 572 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: can relate to the protagonists, and that's I was able 573 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 1: to relate to them from the time I was eleven 574 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: up until now. You have referred to yourself as a 575 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: dork with muscles. Is there a message there to do 576 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: your own thing? Absolutely? You have to be comfortable on 577 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: who you are. You have to be comfortable in the 578 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: person that God made you. You have to love that, 579 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: and you can't let people make you feel bad or 580 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: feel embarrassed because you may not just want to go 581 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: with the crowd because the same people that are that 582 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: are having fun at your expense, so to speak. If anything, 583 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: they're jealous because they're not comfortable on who they are 584 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: and they just want to fit in so badly, so 585 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: they'll do that instead of pursuing what they truly love 586 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: in life. And when you don't pursue what you love 587 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,479 Speaker 1: in life, you miss out. You miss out. You might 588 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: be a great artist, you might be great at music, 589 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: you might be a great sanitation expert. Who knows. But 590 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: when you're trying to visit the two as you trying 591 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: to fit in with what's popular, what was happening with 592 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: the crowd is doing, then you'll never be able to 593 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: achieve what you really want in life. And that's just 594 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: that's just unfortunate. So be yourself for Drink Fund Faction 595 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: with Mike Daniels. You're from Blackwood, New Jersey, not too 596 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: far from Philadelphia, and describe where you grew up. Where 597 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: I grew up is right outside of Philadelphia, So that 598 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: Philadelphia area is definitely a I mean Phillys of sports 599 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: town all the way.

People talk about Florida, Texas, California, Ohio, 614 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: New Jersey, especially at South Jersey area is extremely competitive 615 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: with sports, extremely competitive from the time guys are kids 616 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: up until they're adults. They're obviously college football programs that 617 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: are too far away, including Penn State and Rutgers. But 618 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: you chose to go to Iowa. How did you wind 619 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: up there and what were your first impressions of Iowa City, 620 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: Penn State, and Rutgers Temple.

I've played in some NFL 634 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: stadiums that did well, a few NFL stadiums actually that 635 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: didn't come close to having the same type of energy 636 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: that Kinneck Stadium holds on Saturdays. So I loved it there. 637 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: I definitely love playing football there. Speaking in places that 638 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: love football. You were drafted by the Packers and spent 639 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: your first eight years in Green Bay. What did you 640 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: enjoy most about playing there? Uh, it was very similar 641 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: to Iowa.

It's definitely crazy, 647 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: so it was really cool. One of the time honored traditions, 648 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: going back to Vince Lombardi, is to borrow little kids 649 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: bikes to get from Lambeau Field to the practice field 650 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: during training camp. Did you enjoy it and at your size, 651 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: were you ever worried about damaging a kid's bike. So 652 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: my rookie year, I actually broke a kid's bike, and 653 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: that was definitely something. I think I might have broke 654 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: another one in my fourth year. So I always made 655 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: sure I went to find a high school kid or 656 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: a middle school kid who had like a mountain bike 657 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: or something like that, because I kept riding little kids bikes. Unfortunately, 658 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: sometimes I made a little kids bike and help hold 659 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: the handlebar while while they rode their bike. But it 660 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: was definitely a really cool tradition and I'm glad they 661 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: do it in Green Bay. How did those little kids 662 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: react when you broke their bike? Oh? Man, they were honored. 663 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: They loved it. They man, the th was the coolest 664 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: thing in the world. I remember a few years later, 665 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's a little bit older. He actually came 666 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: to an autograph sign and had a picture of me 667 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,919 Speaker 1: carrying his bike, and I said, oh, yeah, this is great, 668 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: this this is really good. So they they they they 669 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: loved it. They really loved it. A few more fun 670 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: facts with Mike Daniels.
