00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.719
it going on this Monday night.
It's a victory Monday, and that means

8
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.479
we'd got three hours to talk all
things about a Bengals victory over the forty

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.759
nine ers. We'll spend some time
in those bills and cover a whole lot

Lance back Allister, Dave Appham, welcome

11
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.560
in. Thanks for hanging out with
us tonight on Bengals Line on the first

12
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.240
Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network in seven
hundred WLW and David. Last time we

13
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.799
were here two weeks ago, before
the bye, we talked about they had

14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.719
had a performance where everything had clicked
at the same time and if it happened,

15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.359
they would be a very dangerous football
team. And we saw yesterday from

16
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.799
Joe Burrow throwing it to running it, to the run game, getting going

17
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.760
to the defense, answering the bill, special teams making contributions. We saw

18
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.840
a statement yesterday that the Bengals,
this is who they are and what they

19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.040
can be. That's a pretty darn
good football team, it is. And

20
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.159
they played complimentary football. They'd played
a complete football game against a team that

21
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.519
you had lost to in a row
on the road and came back home,

22
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.560
crowd noise, all that they dealt
with exceptionally well. The forty nine ers

23
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.200
had won eleven in a row at
home, party had never lost at home.

24
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.519
He was eight to no and the
Bengals spanked him. The Bengals took

25
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.519
a lead, never gave the lead
up, and had a lead for a

26
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.680
high percentage of that football game.
Teams often take their cues. The good

27
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.439
teams take their cues from a quarterback
with a cue from Joe yesterday from Zach

28
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.079
said on the post game, I've
stopped using the word unbelievable. T Higgins

29
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.560
said after the game, he's he's
an alien. That the confidence that this

30
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.000
group must gather from seeing that type
of performance from Joe that Joe everybody thought

31
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.360
would would be Joe, the healthy
version of Joe. It's got to mean

32
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.800
a lot to this football team,
top to bottom. You know what.

33
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.479
I can only imagine how frustrated he
was, because, you know, he

34
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.400
talked about in the locker room with
me how hard he worked in the offseason

35
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.319
to try to improve his athleticism,
you know, his strength and everything else

36
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.360
that goes along with being a premier
athlete, and that's an underrated part of

37
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.360
this football game. And he works
so hard and he looked really good and

38
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.639
in the OTAs and mini camps and
everything. I'm taking man, he's gonna

39
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.319
light it up with the gas.
Light it up in the football gods did

40
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.800
not so fast, my friend,
and they put a delay on it.

41
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.599
But man, to go twenty eight
thirty two, who mean, eighty seven

42
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.680
and a half percent against that football
team. And I felt like the best

43
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:13.360
matchup for the Bengals, the most
favorable matchup was the receiving corps, meaning

44
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.759
everybody, the receivers, tight ends, running backs against their back end and

45
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.360
if they get time, if Joe
had time to take advantage of it,

46
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.199
he was gonna have a big day
in the offensive line rose up and gave

47
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.080
him time. Let's get reaction from
the co cheers. Dave with Zach Taylor.

48
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.759
You're a souse sayer. You said
first time was gonna be huge.

49
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.199
You guys dominated on first down.
Yeah, the players understood the asignment,

50
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.039
you know, and they responded exactly
how we knew that they would. And

51
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.719
so again, just just really excited
for the effort and the discipline that those

52
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.360
guys all displayed on both sides of
the ball, all three phases and earned

53
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.000
a hard faught win today. Joe
Burrow seventeen in a row. He had

54
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:01.280
twenty eight to thirty two. I
mean, just crazy numbers, three touchdowns,

55
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.639
no interceptions. Describe what kind of
game the guy had, it can't

56
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.800
you know, And you don't even
know that that's happening. You know,

57
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.000
it's just you feel the rhythm of
the offense. He just does it so

58
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.319
often you don't even really appreciate it
in the moment when you hear those stats

59
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.279
as a as a former quarterback coach
and man, you appreciate that, but

60
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.360
we also know that what goes into
it is outstanding protection to where he can

61
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.240
trust what he needs to do,
and the receivers doing what they need to

62
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.920
do to win. And that's what
they did today. And now when defenses

63
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.639
say, all right, well we're
going to give the middle of the football

64
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.000
field up, Joe's running like he's
running six times averaging big numbers, you

65
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.920
know, scrambling and getting first downs
that way? How important and big is

66
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.600
that critical? I mean just for
a quarterback to understand what's the best thing

67
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.279
to beat that coverage because they got
you out numbered. They've got good,

68
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.240
good guys in the secondary and a
linebacker. They got great rushers, so

69
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.800
sometimes you don't have a great advantage
in the pass game and some past situations

70
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.360
on the coverage they play. And
for Joe to use his feet, I

71
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.480
know that that's the way to win. Man, that's big time. Red

72
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.720
zone five times you down there,
four touchdowns. He did have to turnover,

73
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:14.600
you know that obviously isn't something that
you're pleased about. But the execution.

74
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.040
Four touchdowns and five possessions in the
red zone pretty good. Coach,

75
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.319
Yeah, that's obviously we want to
go five for five. But we knew

76
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.560
coming on the road those four point
players were going to be critical, and

77
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.600
our guys found way to make those
plays and run game pass game. It

78
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.560
was good to see. Crowd noise
was another thing who talked about. And

79
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.279
it seems like you guys handled that
exceptionally well. They did. You know,

80
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.000
I think we had a good plan. Joe did a good job being

81
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.199
a fishing gid get into the line
and making the protection calls he needed to

82
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.279
make. He had to make a
couple lout of balls based on two play

83
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.000
calls we had, and so I
thought that those guys responded the right way.

84
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.079
Defense holds this forty nine er offense
to seventeen points at home. I

85
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.399
mean they had won eleven in a
row pretty head and lost here. He'd

86
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.680
won eight times without a defeat.
How big a statement is it that you

87
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.480
never trailed your defense held into seventeen
you put up thirty one. That's huge.

88
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.680
You know. Our defense has really
played that way all season long,

89
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.160
you know, and we haven't always
given the opportunity to play with the lead,

90
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.399
but that's always what they've they've had
in their back pocket. And so

91
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.079
again, anytime you can give that
defense a lead, they're gonna be pretty

92
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.240
dangerous. Joe Mixon complimented things exceptionally
well in the running game. He rushed

93
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.759
for eighty three yards averaged, you
know, on sixteen carries, had an

94
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.399
average five yards perorri he caught balls
for over thirty yards, had over one

95
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.240
hundred yards Scrimm's day. How big
a complimence? He Yeah, a guy

96
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.759
comes back home like that to the
northern California area in front of his newborn

97
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.079
daughter is pretty cool. And I
thought he played with a ton of energy

98
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.920
today. Then he is really proud
of him. So, coach, you

99
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.920
swept the NFC West, I mean
four Oh, now it's time to start

100
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.519
stacking some wins against the AFC.
And Buffalo comes to town on Sunday night.

101
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.279
What you first thought there and around
around the division? The only other

102
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:00.360
team that won was Baltimore, So
it's a Baltimore's got the best record,

103
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.279
but everybody else's four and three and
just battle royal as it always is in

104
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.720
the division. Yeah, this is
we're always in the same spot. We

105
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.399
always are, you know, and
we're used to it, and we control

106
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.600
our own destiny. We get to
play all these teams again, and so

107
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.160
we just taken one game at a
time, starting Buffalo on Sunday night at

108
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.920
Pek Bengals coach, Zach Taylor and
David listening to him. We'll play later

109
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.120
as we do. In the final
segment of the show, the game ball

110
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.879
presentations and Zach game balls for everybody. But I made a note that I

111
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:31.480
counted he mentioned fifteen different Bengals players, which tells you about the overall contributions

112
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.199
of this roster yesterday. Yes,
Joe was the main show, but there

113
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.560
were contributions up and down the roster
on both sides of the football, no

114
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.600
question, you know. And Zach
was great. I saw so and so,

115
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.639
you know, and I saw so
and so do this. And I

116
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.920
also saw special teams like this big
kickoff return. I saw that, and

117
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.639
at game ball after game ball is
being presented. It was great. And

118
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.560
to consider on a day where what
the offense had I think sixty two snaps,

119
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:05.120
defense played around sixty toss in twenty
five or thirty special teams. To

120
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.079
have one penalty when it was all
said and done kind of is the kapper

121
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:15.560
for an all around excellent performance yesterday. In that penalty ghost, I mean,

122
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.680
it's a shame really that they called
that penalty, because this team is

123
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.399
worthy of having a penalty free game. The way they played and the officials

124
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.680
just created something to more of that. We've got a lot to deal with

125
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.919
between now. At nine o'clock,
Brian Callahan will join us to lead off

126
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.840
our second hour tonight lou Anarumo and
Hour number three. This first hour,

127
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.799
we get busy with Joe Burrow up
next to you here from Joe Mixon on

128
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.919
the ground game, Orlando Brown and
so much more. Thanks for being here,

129
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.919
settle in. We got you for
a plenty of Bengals conversation. A

130
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.399
thirty one seventeen win over the Niners. Well, look ahead that Sunday night

143
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.679
Nice stay at the office. Nice
day at the old office. Yeah,

144
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.519
that's a big win for us.
We executed it well. Still have

145
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.879
some points on on the field,
had some mental mistakes. So just like

146
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.000
every week, win or loss,
we're gonna we're gonna get better and improve

147
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.879
our mistakes. Obviously physically, I
mean, you looked. You looked as

148
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.840
good as I can remember you looking. Do you feel one hundred percent at

149
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.720
this point? Yeah? I do. I do. It's still still a

150
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.679
maintenance thing, still gotta you know, stay up on my rehab, in

151
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.080
my treatment. But you know,
it's feeling really good. Fell back to

152
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.120
pretty much back to normal. So
it's nice to get back to moving again,

153
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.120
making plays with my feet. How
about Joe Mixon supporting you know,

154
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.320
the effort, the air effort,
was sixteen carries eighty seven yards five point

155
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.600
four per You also hit him three
times for another thirty yards or whatever it

156
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.320
was. I mean he had over
one hundred yards scrimmage. Yo. Yeah,

157
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.039
he was unbelievable today. He you
know, everyone saw the plays that

158
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.840
he made, the runs that he
made. But he was great in protection

159
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.720
as well. Picked up some some
big time blitzes for us to push the

160
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.919
ball down the field. So he
was awesome. When you were running the

161
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.799
football, I was like, Oh, you split a couple of defenders a

162
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.759
couple of times. You weren't gonna
slide. You were going for every inch

163
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.320
you could get. I mean,
you were just in his zone today,

164
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.639
weren't you. Yeah, you know
that's really what I worked on for the

165
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:09.600
most part of the offseason was my
athleticism and in my speed. I just

166
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.799
haven't been able to show it really, So it was it was nice to

167
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.559
see that see that work pay off. Did they give you pretty much everything

168
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.000
that you expected? I mean you
look to be in such a rhythm.

169
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.080
It looked like you were not fooled
by anything. You knew exactly what you

170
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.399
were looking at every single snap.
Yeah, they you know, we had

171
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.279
a great week of practice, had
a great week of prep, so we

172
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.200
were we were confident coming in.
We were able to execute final question.

173
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.600
Now you're above five hundred, here
come the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.

174
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.039
Got to get that W in the
AFC. Right. Yeah, it's like

175
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.840
it's just one game. You know
we can we won three straight, but

176
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:46.720
every week is its own thing.
So we'll enjoy this one tonight, have

177
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.279
a nice plane ride back, enjoy
it tomorrow, and then get back to

178
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.360
work. Congratulations on a big day, Joe, Thanks to be one,

179
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.279
Joe Burrow on a monthster day.
And and I want to go back to

180
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.240
the first drive and the scramble,
the avoidance, the duck, the spin,

181
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.519
the shove, get away from me, and the ability to still keep

182
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.759
his eyes down the field and throw
with accuracy to T Higgins, that was

183
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.200
like a moment like the music should
have sounded from like Rocky, like he's

184
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.080
here and he is ready to go. You're in trouble today because Joe's feeling

185
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.039
it. I still can't going back
and watching it, the number of times

186
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.679
he ducked and rolled and spun and
shoved. It's it's something to behold.

187
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.879
It is. It's remarkable, and
I'm sure the forty nine ers at that

188
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:35.679
point were thinking he's back. You
know, we don't have a stationary quarterback,

189
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.320
you know, a statue in the
shotgun. We have a guy that

190
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:45.000
is athletic. You can create and
extend by time. You can hurt us

191
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.120
with his feet, he can hurt
us with his arm. We're in for

192
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.200
a long day. The thirty calls
his own number on thirty nine and goes

193
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.159
for ten. Later he runs for
twenty. He sneaks for the first out

194
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.720
in the red zone. I mean
those components. I mean, Joe the

195
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.000
thrower among the best, Joe with
that component. And we'll talk with Brian

196
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.639
Callahan a little bit later on brings
him into the conversation that sometimes maybe he's

197
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.679
not included on in terms of athleticism, but he shirtless certainly was a full

198
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.240
go with it yesterday. Yeah,
And there were a couple of runs where

199
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.440
I'm like, Okay, don't get
too excited, man, you know,

200
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.120
let's make sure that the football gods
don't say I'm gonna get you hurt again.

201
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.000
He is such a competitor, though, and man, I just love

202
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.240
to watch his body language when he's
on the football field and just in that

203
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.080
uber focused, laser focused mindset that
he has. It's like, I mean,

204
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.039
there could be anything and everything going
on around him, he is just

205
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.000
focused on what that defense is doing, and he is. He's a remarkable

206
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:56.080
football player. His his mentality and
mindset in IQ for the game of football

207
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:03.000
is extraordinary. And you mentioned first
down and just jotting some down, not

208
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.559
all of them, but first down
gains of thirty three, twenty two,

209
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.679
twenty, seventeen, fifteen, twelve, eleven, eleven, nine, nine,

210
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.559
eight, eight eight. I mean
that those numbers are are eye popping

211
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.440
against anybody, but against the forty
nine ers, Holy cow. And you

212
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.639
know a lot of it. Like
turnovers, get a turnover, boom,

213
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.240
big play. I'm gonna compound the
problem. I'm going for the jugular turnover

214
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.399
boom, seventeen yard touchdown pass to
Jamar Chase. It's like, take take

215
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.799
take advantage right away. Let's just
while there may be no cheez just trying

216
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.639
to figure out what happened, why
are we back out here? Go ahead

217
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.000
and capitalize and make a big play. I just thought that the whole approach

218
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.000
to the football game, the whole
mindset of the attack mode, the aggressiveness

219
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:03.399
of the play calling, of the
execution was phenomenal. Nineteen consecutive completions.

220
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.080
You were you played with Kenny in
the game he went for twenty consecutive.

221
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.679
Was the final game of the eighty
two season, actually in January of eighty

222
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.960
three at that point, that would
have been at the Astrodome. Kenny went

223
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.159
for twenty seven of thirty one three
hundred and twenty three yards two touchdowns.

224
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.399
Dan Ross was his favorite target that
day. But you've witnessed twenty in a

225
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.320
row in nineteen in a row,
and there's so many similarities to those two

226
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:33.120
guys. I mean, Kenny was
an underrated athlete as well. Kenny Anderson

227
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:39.360
could run. He had legit four
to six maybe high four to fives speed.

228
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.159
He was a very, very accomplished
basketball player, played high school basketball

229
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:52.279
with Danissel. I mean, Kenny
Anderson had a scholarship augustana Or for basketball

230
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.120
and he was getting a partial ride
for that. So, I mean a

231
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:02.440
lot of similarities between these guys and
the way they approached the game of football.

232
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.799
And the accuracy is the thing.
I mean, it's like and they

233
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.600
just put it in the best spot
you can put it. Every single time.

234
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.440
It is remarkable and Dave yesterday,
the ability to seal a game.

235
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.600
They have the Niners score to pull
it, make it a one score game,

236
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.559
twenty four to seventeen, get the
ball back, and you're thinking,

237
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.159
all right, a little bit dicey
here, it'd be nice to finish out

238
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.879
the game with a long drive,
take some time off and get a scorer.

239
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.600
And they go ten plays, they
go seventy eight yards and Joe Mixon

240
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:36.000
gets out to the left side for
the score and sealed it. They didn't

241
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.320
have to worry about asking the defense
to do anything more. They did themselves

242
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.080
at that point. Yeah, and
Joe did a great job on that play.

243
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.240
I mean he creased them and hurt
them big time going north and south.

244
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.879
I mean, the offensive line was
taking care of business with the two

245
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.679
defensive tackles and Warner linebacker. They
were really doing a good job. And

246
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.279
so now the linebacker is safety.
Everybody starts to cheat, and they were

247
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:04.599
guessing nobody had contained in the outside
and Joe took it inside initially and then

248
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:11.079
bounced it and nobody was there for
their defensive responsibility. As we talk about

249
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.880
all the time, do your job, don't try to harvest somebody else's crop.

250
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.480
Don't try to. Okay, we've
had problems there. I'm gonna try

251
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.400
to go help solve that problem,
because then you open the door for your

252
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:27.519
own problem. And that's exactly what
happened on that run seven plays yesterday for

253
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.559
at least twenty yards by this Bengals
offense. Hang tight, there's more to

254
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:37.519
get to. Joe Mixon on the
run game. Orlando Brown will join us

255
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.920
as well with the reaction. In
this hour. We're up and running on

256
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.000
a victory Monday, the Bengals line
show, let me First Star Logistics Bengals

257
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:52.359
Radio Network and seven hundred WLW.
Let's keep it a rolling on this Monday

258
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.759
night talking Bengals and a thirty one
to seventeen win over the forty nine ers.

259
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.319
So much to get to. Brian
Callahan will join us coming up in

260
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.480
our second hour. Lou and Roumo
our guest. In our third hour,

261
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.279
It's Bengals one on the First Star
Logistics Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WILW.

262
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.079
I'm Lance Pacallister hanging out as always
with Dave Belopham and Lance's time to

263
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.480
make the right call, and that
is presented by the law officers of Blake

264
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.599
Maslin as always, and we talked
about it, the touchdown drive to make

265
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.599
it a two score game thirty one
seventeen. Instead of a play, Let's

266
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.240
talk about the drive. Ten plays, seventy eight yards, five minutes and

267
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.960
eighteen seconds off the clock, Bengals
score. There's less than three minutes of

268
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:40.599
play in the football game on that
drive, never got to third down.

269
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:47.240
Ten plays seventy eight yards all on
first and second down. You had one,

270
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.079
two, three, four, five
first down plays, five second down

271
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.039
plays, and all the second down
plays were second and short. I mean

272
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.920
it was extraordinary, extraordinary, salted
the game away. Yeah, that first

273
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.559
half thirty five plays for two hundred
and forty two yards, twenty first downs

274
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:12.359
on thirty five snaps. I mean, I couldn't tell you last time I

275
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:19.200
saw a number like that. Yeah, I mean they were prolific the way

276
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.799
they were just getting after it for
a first down. I'm trying to remember

277
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.839
a game where they were as good
on first down against the quality defense.

278
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.000
I mean, this forty nine or
defense is not a bunch of scrubs.

279
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.039
Joe Mixon carried it sixteen times eighty
seven yards, an average of five point

280
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.359
four. He had a long of
twenty. He had the touchdown run that

281
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.799
sealed it. Here's Dan Horde with
the Bengals running back Joe. That was

282
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.599
one heck of a homecoming, a
tremendous victory for the Bengals and a great

283
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.440
game for you. You describe the
equotion, George charencing right now. Man.

284
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.920
To be honest, it was great
to be at home. I felt

285
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.400
like we came in here and took
care of minis and do we had to

286
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.519
do now, you know, headed
on, so it says I'm not here

287
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.839
to do eighty seven rushing yards for
you twenty three receiving yards today, so

288
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.400
we're goan to one hundred yards of
offense. He had a rushing touchdown.

289
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.440
You looked like every time you got
the ball you heart determined to punish the

290
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.839
forty nine ers. Yeah, for
sure, it definitely was gonna go today.

291
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.400
You know, I just felt great
man coach kept down enough to run

292
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.319
and trying to do whatever we can
to make him play. So it was

293
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:32.039
definitely a great feeling to be able
to deliver from my teammates. Long time

294
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.079
coming, but now just got to
keep on building. Both Joe's were amazing

295
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.880
Joe Burrow completed nearly ninety percent of
his passes, three touchdowns, no picks.

296
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.079
Looks like the CAP's pretty good.
Oh yeah, most definitely. Joe

297
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.240
kavic Hear did this thing, and
I felt like, you know, everybody

298
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.720
on the offense, defense, even
a special teams had a hell of a

299
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.440
part in this game. We played
complimentary football and y'all, I felt like

300
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.599
it was a long time coming.
So it was a great win, big

301
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.559
win for us. And now he's
got to get ready to keep all start

302
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.400
and keep goding. This was the
offense that you guys have been hoping to

303
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.119
produce all year long. You know
you're capable of it. You put it

304
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.279
together for four quarters today. Yeah, most definitely. That was a great

305
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:17.079
thing to see to be able to
come out here and play four quarters in

306
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:21.240
football. There's still less of things
out there, still got dass only enough,

307
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:22.799
but that was a great deal.
We'll see a great thing to come

308
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.400
out with the golf man and that's
all that mattered. The other team of

309
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.680
locker room right now is special.
Just tell us what this went needs everybody

310
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.839
in this road. Oh, it
means a lot, John saying time.

311
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.400
We just got to keep building man, We've got a lot of We've got

312
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.279
a big group of guys in here
that you know, all we do is

313
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.000
you know a night shine, right, you know, we shine and right

314
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.839
it. So we's got to keep
on going, keep on, uh,

315
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.960
you know, playing with a with
our heads that can't be met and everything

316
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.200
else. Gonna take care of ourself
as long as we execute. Man.

317
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.079
So it's a great thing to see
the great coming. Now he's going to

318
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.440
get ready for it Sunday night.
Put go the cars. Got a Golden

319
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.759
Gates tat on your chie are you
definitely and we're in for sure? Definitely

320
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.759
really really home and always he all
right game to be able to come back

321
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.799
and get a dub out here form
too. Congrats had an awesome homecoming in

322
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.559
a great performance. Big day for
Joe Mixon eighty seven yards. He also

323
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:23.640
contributes three catches on three targets for
twenty three yards along of twelve. But

324
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:29.920
it was just good to see him
be established early in the game and run

325
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.960
hard and run between the tackles.
And I think we were we were waiting,

326
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.240
hoping, some wondering, you know, Joe get worn down as Joe,

327
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.319
you know a lot of tread on
the tires. Joe showed vintage Joe

328
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.359
on runs yesterday. He did,
I mean he he. He played a

329
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.920
complete football game as well. You
know, you talk about phases of the

330
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.799
of the of the team, offense, defense, special teams. You talk

331
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.839
about, you know, a complete
game, complimentary football within that phase,

332
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.640
pass rush, helping coverage, coverage
helping pass rush. Joe Mixon ran it,

333
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.960
caught it, and Joe Burrow made
mention of is blitz pickup. Joe

334
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:11.640
Mixon has come a long way in
terms of blitz pick up and protecting quarterback.

335
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.720
Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow has noticed, Dave. They ran it from

336
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.799
under center. I think four times
on the opening drive they had gone under

337
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.119
center only seven snaps on the season
going in. Ye, They're they're never

338
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:27.759
gonna go full under center there.
They're always going to be a predominantly shotgun

339
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.200
team. But what is going under
center allow them to do? What does

340
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:33.920
it show a defense? How does
how does it help in this offense?

341
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.839
Yeah, you can have more of
a diverse running game, you know,

342
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.440
going under center, and and then
you can marry it to play action a

343
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.759
lot easier as well, And that's
gonna be a big factor. I think

344
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:51.880
as the as the season unfold.
Last year they ran two hundred snaps under

345
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.000
center. So you know, you
talk about it's about ten a game,

346
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.480
little more than ten a game,
and I think they're gonna work their way

347
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.559
back to that potentially. You know, they were tracking to have like twenty

348
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:08.000
one snaps at our center for the
season. But that's the other part of

349
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.880
it. You know, when when
quarterbacks understand you have to reverse pivot to

350
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.799
all the things, put a lot
of stress on that calf. You know,

351
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.960
Joe being healthy, you could you
could implement a little bit more of

352
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.359
that hang tight more to get to
We'll go up front talk offensive line and

353
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:29.759
the protection and the run game contributions. We'll talk with Orlando Brown Junior,

354
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.880
that and more as we continue on
a victory Monday. It's Bengals Line on

355
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:41.759
the First Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network
and seven hundred WLW. Hey, welcome

356
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.079
back to Bengals Line on this Monday
night. If we do it other First

357
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.680
Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network and seven
hundred w l W. I'm Lancemcallis You're

358
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.680
always doing it with Dave Lapham,
Yes, Sir, Lance, and Bengals

359
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:56.200
fans on Fridays. Make sure to
listen to myself and Dan Hord or box

360
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.759
Miller if Dan Hord has UC obligations, and we'll be doing Bengals. Pet

361
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.400
Rally is going to buy wings and
rings on the air from three to six

362
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:10.119
pm on ESPN fifteen thirty. Let's
go up front where it always starts with

363
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:14.079
the O line, and here from
the man, here's Dave with ur Orlando

364
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.599
Brown junior Orlando Brown. I'm gonna
talk about what you guys were doing up

365
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.759
front. I mean your quarterback twenty
eight to thirty two. I mean ridiculous

366
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:29.160
numbers. Uh three touchdown passes,
no interceptions, two hundred and eighty five

367
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:33.960
yards. He rushed six times for
forty three more. When Joe is doing

368
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.480
that, when he's like, I'm
gonna hurt you with my feet as well

369
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.599
as my throwing on, how dangerous
are you guys? So dangerous? Man?

370
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.359
We got a really good football team. We got the playmakers, we

371
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.480
got the coach of staff, we
got the scheme. When everything clicks,

372
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.599
man, and we play hard,
we strain, we're determined, we got

373
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.000
attitude. The sky's the limit for
what we can be. And you know,

374
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:55.720
I think today was just a glimpse. Everything wasn't perfect, you know.

375
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.640
I mean that's why there was a
few times he had to scramble.

376
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.480
But that's both you know what I
mean, and at the end of the

377
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.359
day we'll get which is scary to
think about. It is, man,

378
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:03.319
there's a lot of meat on the
bone, you figure, right. I

379
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.960
mean, it's impressive. Five times
in the red zone, four touchdowns.

380
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.680
He had the one fumble that was
that was unfortunate. You guys were cranking

381
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.480
in the red zone. What was
the secret? Execution? Keeping it simple?

382
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.640
Man, Focus and execution, And
I mean, that's that's who we

383
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.240
are, man, That's who we
are, and that's what we got to

384
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:26.279
continue to be. Joe Mixon,
Joe Bixon complimented the passing attack. He

385
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.440
had sixteen carries eighty seven yards five
point four per caught three passes for another

386
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.119
thirty. He had over one hundred
di scrimming yards. How big was Joe

387
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.200
Mixon today? I mean so big, man. It's so important. You

388
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.240
know, as hard as he runs, as hard as he plays, man,

389
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.200
he makes everyone's job easier up front. And you know, he did

390
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.359
a great job making some great reads, man, making some great runs.

391
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.160
I mean, I can't stress enough, man, how important every piece is

392
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.920
to this offense. And you know
when our skilled players played that well,

393
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.119
we played great up front. I
mean everything goes hand to him. Man.

394
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.599
You know, Zach got us prepared
during the week, and you know

395
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.240
it's it's everyone gets credit for this. You've been in the league, bit,

396
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.279
you've had a lot of great personal
success in team's success. What does

397
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.160
it mean to come on the road
and play a team like the forty nine

398
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.680
ers quit one and eleven in a
row at home. Perty had never lost

399
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:12.480
at home? He was eight no
at home and you guys never trailing the

400
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:15.759
game and you end up winning it
by fourteen. How big is that statement?

401
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.559
So big, man, But you
know that's who we are and that's

402
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.319
who we got to continue to be. I just I got a lot of

403
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:22.759
confidence in his unit, a lot
of confidence in his group. Man.

404
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.160
We go to work every single day
when in ten and you know, Man,

405
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.720
to come out here against this football
team, the San Francisco forty nine

406
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.960
Ers are not a joke. They
will be in the playoffs, they will

407
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.200
probably be in the NFC Championship and
possibly in the Super Bowl. But that's

408
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:37.240
that's who we are, though,
you know what I mean. When we

409
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.279
got that mindset, they got to
play us. Man, there's no telling

410
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:42.400
what can happen. You know,
you look at the score and the stat

411
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:45.519
sheet today, you see what we
able to do. As an alumni offensive

412
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.839
lineman that lost the Super Bowl game
to the San Francisco forty nine ers.

413
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.519
Thank you, my man. I
appreciate you. No appreciate you. Orlando

414
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:59.880
Brown junior yesterday. Is it safe
to say, of now what seven games,

415
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.240
was that the best overall performance by
the offensive line this year? I

416
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.079
think so. I think it was, you know, in both phases,

417
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.200
particularly run blocking, I think it
was the best. Uh. They had

418
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:18.119
a very diverse, wide range,
variety run game. The executed it well.

419
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.839
But I thought the staple or the
first building block was just coming off

420
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:27.200
the ball and those defensive tackles and
capturing Warner and then just you know,

421
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:32.680
going right at him anchor those guys
because Warner gets off blocks and he can

422
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:37.319
really run. And I thought that
the way they handled the interior and Joe

423
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.039
Mixon went north and south kind of
set a nice tempo. Yeah. That

424
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.680
that that feeling. Dave is a
former offensive offensive lineman. When you can

425
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.000
capture it and control it and get
Joe running behind it. It's gotta be

426
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.599
something pretty powerful for a no line, no question, you know. And

427
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.839
uh, you know you're back in
the huddle and you're looking at the running

428
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.680
back. He's looking at you and
winking, you know, nod in the

429
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:02.240
head and you got it like,
yeah, we're gonna be good today.

430
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:07.079
Everything's good. I mean, there's
nothing better. Has Orlando Brown Junior been

431
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.759
everything you thought he would be coming
in here? Yes? And I think

432
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:18.640
the thing that is not surprising,
but as pleasing as anything, is his

433
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:23.440
personality. The type of guy he
is. Everybody gravitates toward Orlando Brown.

434
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:30.640
He's just a natural born leader and
you can't put a price tag on that.

435
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.720
We'll take a time out and come
back. We've got the defense to

436
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.880
get into. We've heard from Zach, We've heard from Joe and Joe Mixon,

437
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.519
or Orlando Brown. How about we
spend our final segment of the A

438
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:42.480
were talking a little bit about the
defense, and that'll lead us into our

439
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:47.440
second hour with Brian Callahan is the
headliner, and third hour with lou Anarumo.

440
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:49.640
We've got a lot to sort through. Thirty one seventeen, The final

441
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:55.079
is the Bengals move to four and
three on the season. More as we

442
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.079
roll on with Bengals on on the
first Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network and seven

443
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:04.880
hundred wl you down the stretch we
go Bengals line and the first Star Logistics

444
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:10.720
Bengals Radio Network in seven hundred WLW. I'm Lance Pacallister. He is Dave

445
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:14.839
Lapham, Yes, Sir Lance,
And before each Bengals home game at pay

446
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.319
Court Stadium, stopped by pregame at
the Banks located along Freedom Way. This

447
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.519
is the bud Light tailgate zone near
Joe Knuxall Way, and walked through the

448
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:30.680
Jungle Zone powered by Toyota Face Painting
games in interactive stations. We've talked repeatedly

449
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.160
about the complete effort turned in all
three facets, and we need to spend

450
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.599
some time on special teams because they
held up there into the bargain yesterday.

451
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.759
Whether there was a forty one yard
return by Travon Williams or Evan McPherson nailing

452
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:48.680
a fifty six yarder, what were
the the the wins were swirling early?

453
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.720
Was at the case throughout much of
the game. Yeah, they died down

454
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.480
in the first half. It was
a lot more of a factor than it

455
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:02.079
was in the second half. But
you know, he missed the fifty yarder

456
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:07.279
and then he blasted the fifty six
yard You know, they both teams had

457
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.880
pretty much equal possessions. The Bengals
had ten, forty nine Ers had eleven.

458
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:17.240
Then there was an eight yard average
drive start advantage for the Bengals.

459
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.960
Now part of that, obviously with
the interception they started at the forty nine

460
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.799
ers seventeen yard line. That changes
the whole dynamic of field position. But

461
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:32.200
plus eighty hitting yards and special teams
held up there under the bargain so much

462
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.880
so that right now going into this
next opponent, the Buffalo Bills third in

463
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:42.440
the NFL are the Bengals onun returns
sixth in the NFL, kickoff returns fourth

464
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:48.200
in the NFL. Covering kickoffs.
Darren Simmons almost has three of this four

465
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.680
special teams units the top five.
McPherson now has four of the five logus

466
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.480
field goals in franchise history. He's
gone fifty six, fifty seven, fifty

467
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:02.680
eight, and fifty nine. The
other kicker in that group of top five

468
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.039
would be Randy Bullock, who had
a fifty seven yarder, but money back

469
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:12.079
with four of five, and that
the one he missed. That was the

470
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:16.119
sequence where Joe was hit and took
the sack on third and seven and moved

471
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:20.440
it back to a fifty yarder and
made it more difficult if I remember correctly,

472
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.680
an eight yard sack. Yeah,
changed changed the dynamic, you know,

473
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:29.799
dramatically. We're talking forty two yard
chip shot McPherson as opposed to a

474
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:34.119
fifty yard But McPherson will tell you
I should have made that fifty yarder,

475
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:38.039
you know, no, no question
about it. But I tell you it's

476
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:45.680
it's impressive when all three phases are
operating like like this football team did on

477
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.759
the road. I'm telling you it's
the flight is draining. It is a

478
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.400
long flight. I can't imagine what
that flight home would have been like last

479
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.279
night. Oh and won that football
game, man, that would have been

480
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.799
brutal. You know, it's a
good when your punter does not punt until

481
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:06.400
six sixteen of the third quarter.
That's the first time Brad Robbins punted.

482
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.359
He had one. I thought Yoshi
was so close. It hit and it

483
00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:14.160
was just a hard kick. It
was tough for Yoshi to down it,

484
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:15.599
but he had a chance of the
three and it just made because it was

485
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.759
a once it hit, it rocketed
right at him with the bounce and the

486
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:24.880
wind. Trent Irwin, I tried
to judge the wind as it was swirling.

487
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.160
Let the one bounce and it bounced
about an extra thirteen yards to the

488
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.160
Bengals disadvantage. But it was part
of what was going on win wise at

489
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.119
that point. And that's what Darren
Simmons will tell you. He can.

490
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.160
He has it down to the inch. Whenever you let a punt hit the

491
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:44.559
ground, the average distance is and
it probably is probably you know, around

492
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:49.880
eleven or twelve yards, you know, give her take, So that is

493
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.240
definitely a huge factor. Yeah.
I forgot to mention this after your conversation

494
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:58.440
with Orlando Brown Junior. But the
forty nine ers played it up yesterday with

495
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.240
bringing back the eighty one forty nine
ers team, the eighty eight forty nine

496
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.319
ers team. Joe Montana was there, Jerry Rice was there, they were

497
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:07.440
all there, and I loved your
comment to Orlando bro Junior. Thank you

498
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.760
for being the forty nine ers.
All right, that's good. Yeah,

499
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:16.039
as a former offensive line of lumb
thank you, you know, and he

500
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:22.280
big smile and laughed about it.
But yeah, Joe Montana, Joe Burrow,

501
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.760
big hug before the game, and
very similar in their style of play.

502
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:32.880
Joe Montana was sergeant like with his
accuracy, Joe Burrow sergeant like and

503
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:37.840
Joe Montana underrated athlete in terms of
hurting you with his feet. A lot

504
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.559
of similarities there as well. Hang
tight, We've got a whole lot more

505
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.840
to talk about. Lou and Arumo
will join us to kick off the third

506
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:50.639
hour. We'll hear a little bit
more from Zach, a little bit more

507
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.199
from Joe, plus preview that Buffalo
Bill's game, and then you're gonna want

508
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:59.719
to hear the game balls. We
go inside the locker room for the present

509
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.719
tem and it's pretty good stuff,
really good stuff from Zach, and then

510
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:07.480
Joe brings everybody together for the Hooday
chant. You'll hear that. To wrap

511
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.280
things up, we're cruising on this
Monday night of Bengals Line. We're on

breaking it all down and went over

520
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.639
ahead of those bills as well.

523
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:12.159
Wednesday this season for Bengals Game Plan
presented by Bud Light on the air from

524
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.800
six to eight pm on the ESPN
fifteen thirty. We sat here two weeks

525
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.400
ago and you mentioned the frustration of
not having a game where all elements clicked

526
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.400
at the same time and said,
when it happens, you're one of the

527
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:29.199
best teams in the NFL. We
saw that on full display yesterday. Absolutely

528
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:34.280
we did. It was It was
a really well executed game by all of

529
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:39.199
those guys on offense. I thought
the gentleman up front played as well as

530
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:45.159
you can play. That's a that's
a really really good defense. And I

531
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.719
know they there's a lot of talk
out there about them struggling or what have

532
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.280
you, but no, that's as
good a defense as you can play in

533
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:55.920
the NFL. And our guys took
it to him for the entire game.

534
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.320
And that was awesome. It was
awesome to see we ran the ball well,

535
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.280
we pass protected well. Burrow was
lights out, All the receivers got

536
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.280
in the action. It was just
a mix and ran hard. I mean

537
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:13.159
it was one time I think he
dropped green Law and that just dropped him.

538
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:15.719
Yeah, and that's a that's a
Pro Bowl caliber. I mean,

539
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:17.280
that's that. Those guys aren't like
some rookie you never heard of. Yeah.

540
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.840
So just really proud of the group. They they answered the bell and

541
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:27.199
in a really in a really big
way, and they did a great job

542
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.960
executing the game plan. And it
was really fun to watch him play football.

543
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.800
And the key is, though,
is the you know the season's not

544
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:35.960
over. You know that's not We
didn't we didn't win anything yet, So

545
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.239
We're gonna keep stacking him and keep
trying to play that way every week,

546
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:40.920
and if we do, I think
we'll be in a pretty good spot.

547
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.039
Dave, I got so excited I
didn't even officially welcome you man. You

548
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:47.280
you go ahead and do the honors
and welcome you man. Well. I

549
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:52.519
love it. We have the architect
of the game planned yesterday. It was

550
00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:01.440
so effectively executed offensive coordinator Brian Callahan
football, no question about that. I

551
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.039
agree. I think the offensive line
probably had their best performance. Greenlaw didn't

552
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:09.000
know where he was, what day
it was when Joe ran. He was

553
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:13.440
gathering himself there for a little bit. But in that situation, I know

554
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:19.079
that's like first down was unbelievable.
I mean I was tracking it. I

555
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.360
said to our stat guy, I
said, first down is a big deal

556
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.559
today. There they're number one in
the NFL only allowing four point eight eight

557
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:29.119
yards per first down. We got
to track first down. You guys were

558
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.559
killing them on first down. I
think it was like, of your first

559
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:36.519
hundred and twenty six yards one hundred
and seventy five one first down, and

560
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:40.920
you had four touchdown drives twenty seven
plays in those four touchdown drives, one

561
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.440
third down, it was third and
ten. You converted it twenty six plays

562
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:49.159
on first to second down, didn't
even get the third down. And that's

563
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:52.840
the best way to handle third down. That's you know, I'm happy that

564
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:54.599
we played that way because that's that's
how you have to play to beat those

565
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:58.679
guys. If you're behind the schedule
against that team, it's gonna be a

566
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:02.440
long day them to get to all
their pressure packages and flitzes unless they're rushed

567
00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:07.360
te off We knew we couldn't let
that happen, and one of the one

568
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.360
of the keys to the game for
us was to see it stay on schedule.

569
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:14.480
And I talk about it all the
time with the offense is when we're

570
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:16.880
in rhythm, we're playing really well, we go first down, second down,

571
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.480
first down, and that's just how
we play. And when your offense

572
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:23.760
is feeling it and you're and you're
having success, you're having success on first

573
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.280
down, that means you're getting in
the second and two or three and it's

574
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.800
an easy conversion to another set of
downs, right, And that is by

575
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:32.760
far the best way to play football
in the NFL. If you can,

576
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:36.280
if you can do it like that, that's how you want to play right.

577
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:38.000
But it was. It was a
it was a critical part of the

578
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:42.800
game plan to make sure that we
were we were staying on schedule and we

579
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.639
were fishing on first down and second
down, so we weren't in any long

580
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.760
third downs. And look, I
say it too, is you don't,

581
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:50.920
like I said, you don't have
to be in third down. There's no

582
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.280
rules that say you have to play
third down. Let's not go to third

583
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:57.719
down. Sure, but that was
that was really well executed by those guys.

584
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.320
I mean, we were a big
part of that was was our running

585
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:04.679
game. Efficiency in the in the
game was was was outstanding. So really

586
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.840
hats off to those guys in the
run game up front, mixing running the

587
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.039
ball because it was that was the
difference in in the efficiency. Part of

588
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.599
it was when we had the ball
off, it went for good games.

589
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.199
Sure. Joe talked after the game
yesterday about the disappointment of it. Spent

590
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:21.400
so much time in the offseason working
on his athleticism, acceleration, and then

591
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.320
the calf injury and boy, yesterday, the opening drive, the avoidance of

592
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:29.320
the sack, the the nine point
three seconds where and at the end of

593
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:31.480
it he still has the accuracy to
hit Tea along the sidelines for the catch.

594
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:35.079
That's what makes him, That's what
makes him who he is. And

595
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:39.280
I don't I think he's an incredible
athlete and he does not probably get the

596
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:45.320
same recognition for his ability outside of
the pocket. In the pocket, he's

597
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:50.880
fantastic. And you know, he's
playing the way that he wanted to play

598
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.639
from the get go, and we
just he couldn't. And so now he's

599
00:40:53.679 --> 00:41:00.239
finally back to pretty much normal and
doing normal Joe things. And and sometimes

600
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:05.599
we we we get surprised by those
things because they're they're so almost you know,

601
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:08.440
superhuman at times. But yeah,
I mean I thought he was sacked

602
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:13.400
like twice in that play, A
fake guy that didn't pull the whistle,

603
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.159
I want to know. I mean
it was disappeared. Yeah, I mean

604
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.679
it was an unbelieve It's there's no
words to describe it. I mean,

605
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.400
you can't. That's just that's just
a quarterback making an incredible play, doing

606
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.519
everything he can to help a team
win. And that's Joe, man,

607
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:29.960
that's everything he's about. And that
was that was a We're gonna be seeing

608
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:31.559
highlights of that all week, I'm
sure, uh, and deservedly so.

609
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:37.000
It was a It was an outstanding
play and really a critical play. You

610
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:38.559
know, if the first third downs, third and ten is first third down

611
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.280
of the game, you know,
you go three and out there, you're

612
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.000
not feeling probably quite as good.
And those are the plays that we missed

613
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.519
early in the year that that.
You know, Joe I think ran for

614
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:53.079
maybe four or five first downs yesterday, and I mean, you want your

615
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:55.480
third down offense to be better.
The quarterbacks got to do part of it

616
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.840
too, you know, with his
legs, and that part was was really

617
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:01.719
cool to see you. It was
just it's it's how you have to play

618
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:05.239
football, how you have to play
quarterback in the NFL, and Joe does

619
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:07.960
it as good as anybody. Yeah, Joe had six carries for forty three

620
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:14.000
yards, averaging over seven per in
that twenty yard run where instead of going

621
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.480
down, he like kuy Of,
splits a couple of defenders and gonna get

622
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.559
every inch. I'm like, oh, great play man. Yeah, there's

623
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:23.440
probably a few like I love his. I love the tenacity of it.

624
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:28.960
Yeah, you don't have to do
it right right right. We know,

625
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:30.960
we know you're tough, yeah,
I guy, you know, we know

626
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:36.280
you can handle it. But Yeah, he was. He was unbelievable in

627
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:40.559
terms of what when when the defense, you know, it does get pressure

628
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:45.639
and then he does that to him, that's that's backbreaking. Yeah, it

629
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:47.480
kill. It's kid's killer. And
they you know, two of the big

630
00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:50.920
runs, the third down conversion on
third and nine, he checked to a

631
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.239
quarterback draw while were empty, yep, and there was nobody in the box,

632
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:57.320
and he just said, Dodd do
this myself. Thanks. And that's

633
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.639
great because that means there's a bunch
of people out there trying to cover,

634
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:02.639
and so throwing the ball would have
been pretty difficult there. And then the

635
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.719
other one was they they played one
of their only snaps of two man of

636
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:09.719
the game, and the old adage
for quarterbacks is that they're gonna play two

637
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:13.920
man. No one's covering you.
You're you're the you're the one. You're

638
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.559
the guy that has nobody and no
eyes are on you anywhere. And so

639
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:20.960
he recognizes immediately moves in the pocket, and I don't even know that he

640
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:23.000
looked at the defense. I think
he just saw the two men and said

641
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:28.599
I got this. It took off
runt and so it punishes defenses when they

642
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:30.800
try to cover all of our skill
guys, and if Joe can take advantage

643
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.760
of his legs the way he did, uh, we become really really difficult

644
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.960
to defend. As a defensive coordinator, you hesitate this, say, okay,

645
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:42.039
I'm gonna call man coverages and have
my my guys take their eyes away

646
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.400
from him. You know, once
they turned their backs on him. I

647
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:47.920
mean, Joel punish it many,
just like all the all the guys that

648
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:53.000
move around with with Mahomes and Lamar
and Josh Allen. You know, that's

649
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:59.239
that's part of what makes those guys
challenging. And Joe doesn't necessarily get seen

650
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.559
in the same vein as those players, but he is. He is capable

651
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:07.679
of making you pay with his legs
pretty dearly. So it's good to see

652
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.880
him back to normal. Yeah,
they answer, cut it to twenty four

653
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:14.920
to seventeen, one score game and
then you guys go ten plays seventy eight

654
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:19.480
yards to seal it. How satisfying
is it to see it unfolded finish it

655
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:24.079
off that way? Incredibly satisfying it
was. You know, we were,

656
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:28.679
especially the end of that drive,
we were trying to run the clock,

657
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:35.280
make them use their timeouts, and
we're okay with kicking a field goal there

658
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.719
and going up ten with with them
with no timeouts in less than two minutes

659
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:42.719
ago. And then I just remember
like that, you know we're doing the

660
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:44.719
right thing. That's how you should
handle the situation. But it's like,

661
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:46.639
we can still run the ball in
the end zone, you know where we

662
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:50.599
can still score, right, And
it was just it was great to see

663
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.960
those guys finish it off and Nixon
bounced the duo out to the perimeter,

664
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:59.400
and it was just a really great
feeling to answer a score, put the

665
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:04.599
game out of each and and play
that way in a in a in a

666
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:07.679
huge moment, you know, that's
you thought, the momentum is starting to

667
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.159
swing. And then we get the
ball back and then it's like, oh

668
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.239
man, like the three and out
here is a disaster. And and our

669
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:17.679
guys continued the theme of the day
with playing really good football and and and

670
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:24.039
capping that drive emphatically with that touchdown. A complete clean game offense was not

671
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:29.519
penalized. The only penalty is a
bogus called DJ reader what the hell was

672
00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.159
that? And they called that.
I'm like a form tackle, You're gonna

673
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:37.159
penalize the guy? And then bunch
as lou about that. Oh my god.

674
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:42.079
Yeah, we're gonna have to check
that out. But it would have

675
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.440
been a turnover free game, in
a penalty free game except for the one

676
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.320
footb Yeah. Yeah, I think
that's always been one of our strengths.

677
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.159
Think the last two or three years, I think we've been one of the

678
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.480
least penalized offenses in football. That's
a testament to guys playing a good technique.

679
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.239
Guys understand the rules, knowing they
can be physical, but knowing when

680
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:07.199
you know what the line is.
And so that's huge. It's huge to

681
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.840
play a discipline football and huge to
not get penalties. And that's something we've

682
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.920
prided ourselves on here for a while, is that we play pretty clean football

683
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.119
on offense. And you know,
it's good to see not having any flags

684
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:21.440
throw. Sometimes you can't control that, you know, but but our guys

685
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:23.800
do a great job. Like to
Dodo that through the flag on DJ you

686
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:29.800
can't control that Dodo bird anyway.
I mean, it's it's it really went

687
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:35.000
into the game tied for fewest penalties
called on you and fewest penalty yards.

688
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.599
I think you're gonna be number one
by a good margin after this performance.

689
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.440
Yeah, I think it's always critical
is you try to avoid negative plays,

690
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.599
and we try to avoid negative plays
in the run game, try to avoid

691
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:49.119
sacks, you try to avoid penalties, anything where you're moving backwards. You're

692
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:51.599
trying to avoid those, and I
think that's a that's a huge part of

693
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:57.000
successful offenses, not hurting yourself.
And and thankfully we do we do a

694
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.599
good We do a good job of
that. We do a good job of

695
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:00.440
it. Sunday, We're gonna need
to continue to do a good job because

696
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.239
that's a that's an important part of
the game and under underrated part of the

697
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:06.960
game. You're obviously not going to
go under center all the time, but

698
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:10.239
what does it unlock when you can
go under center with Joe? It just

699
00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:14.880
gives a variety, you know,
it's we've been really good in the shotgun

700
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:16.800
in the run game. It's been
good for us O. R PO game

701
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:22.519
has been productive. But at the
end of the day, you can get

702
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:27.679
pigeonholed in the shotgun and you don't
have to necessarily major in being under centered,

703
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:32.280
sure, but it does it does
open up the run schemes you don't

704
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:36.199
necessarily it's it's harder to know if
it's a strong week. When you're in

705
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:37.679
a gun, it's it's a little
easier to know where the ball is likely

706
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:42.079
to go. It's it's we're still
a one back run team, so as

707
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.360
defenses say, it's kind of one
back, one gap and it's easier to

708
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:49.400
defend. Now we make it harder
with the RPOs, But there's an element

709
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:54.480
of being under center that that opens
up more. And we've always felt like,

710
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:58.880
even coming out of last year,
that we need to do a better

711
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:02.239
job of mixing those things in as
Joe's got more comfortablaying NFL football, and

712
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:06.000
that's part of the game. And
I thought it was really good. We

713
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:09.199
had we've had. We had perimeter
plays, we had traps, we had

714
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:14.239
gap schemes, we had zone plays, we play action, we screened.

715
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.039
I mean, it's we jet sweeped. It was it's what you want.

716
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:21.559
It felt like we It felt like
they were all on their heels the whole

717
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:22.639
day. And that's that's a part
of it, you know, is being

718
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:29.960
able to have enough variety where you
can be under center and be effective as

719
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:32.440
long as you're mixing up your tendencies
and run and pass and all those things,

720
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:37.280
and it does allow for a little
bit less of the defensive line that

721
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:40.039
just tee off right. There's a
lot of factors that help it, and

722
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:44.280
it's something that will continue to do. And again, we'll still probably be

723
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.280
a shotgun team, but there's going
to be plenty of times we'll be under

724
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:52.559
center. And I think it was
ineffective reintroduction back into the offense yesterday,

725
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:54.719
all the things you're talking about,
the jet sweep screens, all that.

726
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.920
I'm like, you know what,
given the forty nine ers a dose of

727
00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.239
the forty nine ers, man,
I mean doing things to their defense that

728
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:05.480
their offense does to other defenses every
week. And I love it. It's

729
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:07.960
like, man, smack them right
in the face with their own stuff.

730
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:12.199
Boy, that was great. Third
down start off, three for three,

731
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:16.159
then five in a row. Don't
don't convert. Did they do anything differently

732
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:19.679
or was it just lack of execution
or what? What do you think?

733
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:27.159
No, we had two or three
lack of execution things. We had one

734
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:31.599
the one sack, we should have
probably scored. Just there's some things that

735
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:36.360
didn't go right in that play.
But yeah, I mean they they they

736
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:39.000
changed up a little bit in the
second half. They they we were trying

737
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:44.239
to for I'll get into the schematic
weeds a little bit, but we were

738
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.880
trying to use our backs out wide
and empty to get some indicators on man

739
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.320
and zone and and then when we
bring they give us anyky, we bring

740
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:54.400
them back into the backfield and then
we get to whatever our man player or

741
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:58.840
our own play, whatever it was. But a couple of times they would

742
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:01.280
they checked when we would check,
and so we they'd give us an indicator

743
00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:04.440
and change the coverage when the back
came in. So they did a good

744
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.360
job of cat and mousing that with
us. And you know, I'll give

745
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:09.880
them some credit to they're they're good
on defense. They've been good on third

746
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:14.760
down. So but we yeah,
we had some execution things and then they

747
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.320
did some good things themselves that that
made it a little bit challenging. So

748
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:21.599
you know, ended up okay on
third down, but certainly could have been

749
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:27.079
better. Congratulations, Go get another
cup of coffee. Always enjoy you hanging

750
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:29.159
out with us. You got it, get it, freshen it up and

751
00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.159
there you go. You got a
cold too, I do. I'm fighting

752
00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:35.360
cold. Yesterday. It was brilliant, man, I was I was fighting

753
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:37.119
a big time to get that game
in. Yeah, giving me both.

754
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.719
I'll tell you I've been sick for
three weeks. I think it feels like

755
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.920
I'll just slide a little bit further
away from both of you. I don't

756
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:49.440
think I've contained to anything. What
one thing. One thing yesterday though,

757
00:50:49.800 --> 00:50:54.719
was we confirmed Number nine is pretty
good. He's one of the best.

758
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:59.159
He's to me, I think he's
the best in football. And I hope,

759
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:00.840
I hope you get hope. You
playing this Vega's chance to keep proving

760
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:06.559
it to everybody. Yeah, he's
he's pretty special, is amazing. He's

761
00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:08.599
Brian Callahan. Take a time out
and continue. It's Bengals Line of the

762
00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:15.760
first Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network and
seven hundred W l W. Hey,

763
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.719
we're rolling right along on this Monday
night of Bengals Line on the first Scar

764
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:23.079
Logistics Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred
w l W. Talked offense. To

765
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:27.400
kick off the air, let's do
a little defense. Here's Dan Horde with

766
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.480
Sam Hubbard. Sam, this is
a heavyweight fight between two of the best

767
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:32.800
teams in the NFL. That's a
great win for the BED. I think

768
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:46.239
the emotion in the locker room indicates
that. Explain what this one means everybody's

769
00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:53.039
stepping. That's the second highest scoring
leam in the NFL. You held them

770
00:51:53.199 --> 00:52:05.280
seventeen points. What was the key
takeaways? That's always still tha time we

771
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:12.840
need to clean up. But Keways
get up there now, Rat and Nelson

772
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:19.360
two huge erception forty nine ers have
great linebackers, but the Bengals linebacker to

773
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:27.039
play a great game today. National
recognition. They continue to show. So

774
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.360
Joe Burrow said his week he thought
he was close till a hundred percent.

775
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:32.199
I think we can say one hundred
percent. They know what we saw.

776
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:37.960
What do you think I wouldn't have
been playing against him? What he did

777
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:44.440
today? The line off them,
That's that's the job. We all know.

778
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:53.159
And you know he might go about
a doubt. And you know,

779
00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:58.000
you guys have gone from owing two
to four and three and a time for

780
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.639
second place. You feel like you
mad ty for second place in the division,

781
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:07.000
Pittsburgh, And do you feel like
this team is back to where it

782
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:14.639
needs to be? Out late?
Ways Ago got a big game, Sam

783
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:17.559
Hubbard after the game still ahead,
how about Jamar Chase and Tyler Boyd.

784
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:21.679
And we'll touch on special teams as
we make our way through a Monday evening.

785
00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:24.360
He victory Monday on Bengals Line and

792
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:05.639
And Jamar Chase targeted twelve times yesterday
ten catches, one hundred yards,

793
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:08.639
a long of twenty and a touchdown. Here's the Bengals wide receiver with Dan

794
00:54:08.760 --> 00:54:12.639
Horde. All right, Jamar,
we knew you were a great wide receiver.

795
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.079
I didn't know you were a great
gymnast him till today. And tell

796
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:20.440
us about the flying backflip celebration.
Yeah, I didn't want to have some

797
00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:22.400
fun doing backflow. I did git
Nassis when I was younger, So run

798
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:25.920
it with me bember and Pats before
though probably no, it was a little

799
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:30.440
hppy, but I still got it. Yes, you do ten catches,

800
00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:35.039
one hundred yards on touchdown and a
great performance by the offense. How would

801
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:37.760
you sum up today? I said, we did go well? Just here

802
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.639
I was standing deepest today and that
never got us the way always played great.

803
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:46.519
They go with out as seigners today, but we executed what we had

804
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:50.719
Avatarius sud He left a few points
on the board. But did you feel

805
00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.000
like this was the first time you
put four together, four quarters of good

806
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:55.480
offense together? I want to say, so, yeah, we done that?

807
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:58.960
Had any efficiency of going for a
don second offer a Dallas and I

808
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.840
will want us to do anything.
Joe Burrow completed about ninety percent of his

809
00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:06.840
past and he ran for more than
forty yards. Can we safely say at

810
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.039
this point that the camp is one
hundred percent? Oh y'all need to say

811
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:14.320
now walking back borough the fact,
what were you thinking about walking off the

812
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:19.400
field this long ass flight home?
Happ good point, it's a happy light,

813
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:21.480
but it's still of all though,
yeah we go last time you saw

814
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:25.679
that kind of energy on the sideline
of huh. I can't say it man,

815
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:29.840
But I definitely not have thought the
energy before we got out of here,

816
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:31.360
Before we got off the plane,
you could feel the energy within the

817
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:34.599
team. So he's I thought,
we probably a good day. Feeling a

818
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:37.360
new season like that, you feel
like a new season. Oh still the

819
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:39.519
same season. I mean we're still
four and three. You know, I'm

820
00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:42.719
saying we started to get the way
its gowing up. That's all. These

821
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:45.960
are two of the best teams in
the NFL. What does this win mean

822
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.039
me? It's allowed for it.
The figures, opposunity out of the way.

823
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.320
We play in a very good offense
man defense. But you know we

824
00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:54.960
came out with he was picking me
all talk how impos were the fullest couple

825
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:59.760
of thrives. The way Joe surgically
let your guys down the field. Yeah,

826
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:01.559
that's how it goes. Thought of
every possession of saying, every job,

827
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:05.199
every and every time we get a
bomb bers on the game. You

828
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.679
know, that's how the one started
off. But you know, going get

829
00:56:07.679 --> 00:56:09.960
out, he'd been sending boy to
make him did him rested in them in

830
00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:15.360
the bag out there? So your
touchdown came right after Logan's check, and

831
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:20.199
that was a big momentum swing first
his takeaway and then take to get on

832
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:22.599
the first play. Yes, it's
a great has a great way call.

833
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:28.480
We've been setting up the big bubble
all night. He us hello, breath

834
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:30.559
of every bubble with do today and
you know we called that had the perfect

835
00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:35.440
common want to say, you like
the most catches, but the Cincinnati Freeway

836
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.519
all contributed in the midway. I
think t had about six. Tyler caught

837
00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:43.239
a touchdown pass, Yoc got in
the ends up again. All of the

838
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:45.280
weapons contributed. Yeah, so that's
what we need right that. That's how

839
00:56:45.280 --> 00:56:49.519
we make it a great offense look
even better. Thankrat's on a great win

840
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.920
and you ten catches one hundred yards
for Jamar Chase yesterday and the kapper with

841
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:59.400
a backflip, a dynamic backflip which
the judges had to give a perfect ten

842
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:04.199
for execu. Oh he's stuck the
lamb, I mean absolutely stuck it.

843
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:08.800
It was crazy. But Jamar obviously
you know, ten targets, twelve targets,

844
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:15.480
ten catches. Seven other receivers were
involved, Chase Higgins, Smith,

845
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:23.880
Boyd Mixon, Irwin, Josie Vosh
Sample I mean Joe Burrow was distributing the

846
00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:30.440
ball to as many different people as
he could. Ryan Callahan challenged the others

847
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:34.679
during the week when he called some
guys out and said, look, other

848
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:38.719
people have to take the load off
it, Jamar Chase's shoulders. We need

849
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:43.199
more out of others, and they
got it. And I think that's a

850
00:57:43.199 --> 00:57:45.559
great sign on the flip side of
it, as great as the forty nine

851
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:51.159
ers passing game is. They only
had five receivers involved. Now they get

852
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:54.079
injuries, you know, Deebo,
Samuel and others, and you know you

853
00:57:54.159 --> 00:58:01.519
gotta understand that, but still they
Joe Burrow get eight people involved. Well.

854
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:05.840
On in his twenty eight completions pretty
good. Jamar had a long of

855
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.880
They had four guys with catches of
twenty yards or longer. Jamar had a

856
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:13.920
twenty yarder. Higgins a thirty three
boy to twenty two Irwin at twenty one.

857
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:16.199
The Irwin, who was a thing
of beauty and just a classic Trenton

858
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:23.079
Irwin catch, was just kind of
streaking the possession, the avoidance of the

859
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:25.639
big hit. He knew he was
going to take a hit, but he's

860
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.280
just he's like the security blanket.
You know, a play that involves him

861
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:35.880
is going to be a successful play. With nothing going haywire on it.

862
00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:38.880
He just does the job he does
and he's got the total confidence of his

863
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:45.119
quarterback. Joe Burrow loves Trenton Irwin
and why wouldn't you. He knows exactly

864
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:49.159
what he's supposed to do, when
he's supposed to do it, how he's

865
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:52.440
supposed to do it. And how
about back to back touchdown passes to the

866
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:58.840
Yes, if you get him involved. And he's a gifted athlete as well,

867
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:02.159
so they could they could start stacking
some. They could go on a

868
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:06.960
run, and David I noticed that
and looking at the next gen breakdown of

869
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:09.400
the routes that Jamar ran yesterday,
And we talked about this a lot with

870
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:14.320
Jamar, but I think it's worth
repeating the number of different ways they used

871
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.559
him, the different routes he ran, whether it was left sideline, right

872
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:22.400
sideline. This seem it's just I
can't imagine trying to defend him because of

873
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:25.079
the the multifaceted aspect of where he
can line up and what they can do

874
00:59:25.119 --> 00:59:31.119
with it. And you know it
starts during the week practice. Obviously he

875
00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:35.199
bites off a lot, but he
can chew it all and swallow it.

876
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.519
There's no question. And then on
game day I got I used to get

877
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:43.840
there on the over there with the
first buses and and I like to watch

878
00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:49.440
guys go through their their warm up
protocols. He works his butt off.

879
00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:52.440
I mean it's it's unbelievable, and
it's all with the tennis ball and he's

880
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:57.360
running all kinds of routes. I'm
thinking, man, say something for the

881
00:59:57.400 --> 01:00:01.679
game. Nobody works harder than Jamar
Chase. He says, such a high

882
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:08.880
bar the rest of the receivers,
because your stud is like, I'm gonna

883
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:13.440
work harder than anybody. You know, I'm not taking anything for granted.

884
01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:16.639
I'm gonna be the example. And
then the other guy's like, man,

885
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:21.559
am I doing enough? Look at
Jamar? Jamar is killing it. This

886
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:24.280
guy has got an unbelievable work ethic. We'll go from one wide receiver to

887
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:30.559
another, from Jamar Chase to Tyler
Boyd conversation with the Bengals wide receiver.

888
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:32.559
As we continue, It's Bengals Line. We do it on the first Star

889
01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:40.920
Logistics Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred
WLW. Hey, welcome back to Bengals

go Bengals. Tyler Boyd three targets yesterday,

900
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:34.119
three catches forty yards along of twenty
two including a touchdown. Here's Dave

901
01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:37.280
with Tyler Boyd. You're the guy
that got it going in the beginning of

902
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:39.920
the football game. You were blocking, you were catching the football, you

903
01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:45.119
were making plays. Was that?
How big was it to get off to

904
01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:47.360
a fast start against these guys?
YEAHO, as you know, especially coming

905
01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:51.639
off the bad week. You know, sometimes you might come back still slow,

906
01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:54.320
trying to get your body back right. But we're a good, pure

907
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:58.480
team and we know what it takes
to get wins, and that's what we

908
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:00.920
go out there and do every week. So you had three catches for forty

909
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:04.880
yards, you had to rush for
another six. So what did it feel

910
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.960
like running football? Though? Number
time? What did it feel like running

911
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:09.480
the football? You had a rush
for six yards? Oh, I feel

912
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:12.880
good. You know, whatever they
need me to do, you know,

913
01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:15.440
I'm prepared for itching every situation.
And now I'm just that guy as you

914
01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:17.840
can lean on, you know,
anytime you need something to happen, I'm

915
01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:23.119
always available. I always make sure
that I'll give Joe outlet. How about

916
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:28.199
Joe twenty eight to thirty two.
He completed seventeen in a row at one

917
01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:30.280
stretch of the football game. Guys, unbelievable, isn't he? Yeah,

918
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:36.480
he's back. Now that's the Joe
sayety that that we've been that's that we've

919
01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:38.039
been missing, you know, And
now he's ready to go. And I

920
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:42.199
feel like this, this this is
our time to going out run speaking to

921
01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:44.440
run. When he would do that, when he would tuck the football and

922
01:02:44.519 --> 01:02:46.920
run. What kind of an added
dimension does that give your offense when he's

923
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:50.480
out there picking up first downs like
that. Uh, it's huge, you

924
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:53.519
know because when teams we had the
top three receivers and teams ain't gonna play

925
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:58.719
too much man. But when we
force him to play man and they don't

926
01:02:58.719 --> 01:03:00.360
watch the quarterback and Joe's this more
enough quarterback to know he could just go

927
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:04.960
run for the yards, you know, and make them uh regret even playing

928
01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:07.320
man, you know, regardless of
him allowing us to work and get out

929
01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:08.599
of the route. Uh, they
still got a great rush. So he

930
01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:13.360
he understands football and and and what
the timing is like in his head to

931
01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:15.880
get the ball off or just tucking
and run. Five times in the red

932
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:20.840
zone four touchdowns, had a turnover
on the other one and then you know

933
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:24.039
that happens. But how about how
productive was the offense in the red zone?

934
01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:27.199
What was it like every time you
guys get down and you think you're

935
01:03:27.199 --> 01:03:30.280
gonna score. Yeah, it was
huge. You know. Once if you

936
01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:32.599
if you score every time in the
arizone, you're most likely gonna win a

937
01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:36.400
game, you know. And we
proud ourselves on that because of the Seahawk

938
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:38.039
game. We would just scored twice
and then it was all in shambos.

939
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:42.760
Really didn't have no motion in the
whole second half. But this is probably

940
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.679
the best complete game this year for
everybody. You know, everybody contributed,

941
01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:49.559
Everybody made plays when their number was
called. And I mean we're we're I

942
01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:52.599
think that this is this is that
time that we're ready to keep it rolling.

943
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:55.679
You come on the road to San
Francisco. They had won eleven straight

944
01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:59.280
at home, pretty at one,
eight in a row, never lost at

945
01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:02.079
home. You guys travel out here, you never trailed in the football game,

946
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:04.880
you end up winning up play fourteen. What kind of a statement is

947
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:08.840
that? Yes? Huge, you
know is let everybody know that we're back.

948
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:10.920
You know, I can't keep saying
out anymore, you know, because

949
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:13.880
they're one of the top teams or
if not the top team in NFC.

950
01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:18.920
And uh, I mean it's high
lart. Now we're the team to be

951
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:27.760
and we're gonna continue to be that
team and it's us who day. Congratulations

952
01:04:27.800 --> 01:04:30.239
on a big effort, man.
Appreciate your brother Tyler Boyd with Dave after

953
01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.960
the game. Targeted three times,
three catches, forty yards and a touchdown,

954
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:39.440
typical Tyler Boyd day. He's mister
consistency. It might not be a

955
01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:42.079
lot of glitz and glamour, but
you know what you're gonna get with Tyler

956
01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:45.519
Boyd, no doubt, you know. And the defense steps up in the

957
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:49.079
first possession three and out after giving
up eight yards on first down. It

958
01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:54.159
buckled down. That was a huge
three and out. The offense is appreciate

959
01:04:54.199 --> 01:05:00.000
that defense. Ten plays, eighty
five yards culminated by Tyler Boyd seven years.

960
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:05.400
Touchdown a typical piloboid option route.
Make it right decision You on the

961
01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:10.400
same page, es quarterback Joe Burrow, thing of beauty. Well, head

962
01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:15.039
down the stretch in our second of
three hours tonight, find some time for

963
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:18.000
some left for the special teams.
The third component of the afternoon yesterday,

964
01:05:18.119 --> 01:05:23.199
that is, we roll on down
the stretch in our second hour of Bengals

965
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:30.159
Line, First Star Logistics Bengals Radio
Network. It's seven hundred WLW down the

966
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:32.760
stretch we go, Bengals Line of
the first Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network.

967
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:36.800
In seven hundred WLW. About to
put our second of three hours in the

968
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:41.920
books. I'm Lance Bacallister. He
is Dave Lapham, Yes, Sir Lance,

969
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:45.360
and before each Bengals home game at
pay Course Stadium, stop by pregame

970
01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:49.519
at the Banks located along Freedom Way. This is the bud Light tailgate zone

971
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:55.840
near Joe Knuts All Way and walk
through the Jungle Zone powered by Toyota Face

972
01:05:55.880 --> 01:06:01.400
Painting games in interactive stations. We've
talked repeated about the complete effort turned in

973
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:05.039
all three facets, and we need
to spend some time on special teams because

974
01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:09.000
they held up there into the bargain
yesterday. Whether it was a forty one

975
01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:15.400
yard return by Trevion Williams or Evan
McPherson nailing a fifty six yarder, what

976
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:19.559
were the the the wins were swirling
early. Was that the case throughout much

977
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:25.320
of the game. Yeah, they
died down in the first half. It

978
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:28.559
was a lot more of a factor
than it was in the in the second

979
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:31.719
half. But you know, he
missed the fifty yarder and then he blasted

980
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:39.480
the fifty six yard You know,
they both teams had pretty much equal possessions.

981
01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:43.559
The Bengals had ten forty nine ers
had eleven, and there was an

982
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:47.079
eight yard average drive started advantage for
the Bengals. Now part of that obviously

983
01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:51.480
with the interception they started at the
forty nine ers seventeen yard line. That

984
01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:58.920
changes the whole dynamic of field position. But plus eighty hitting yards and special

985
01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:02.480
teams held, they're under the bargain
so much so that right now going into

986
01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:09.320
this next opponent, the Buffalo Bills
third in the NFL are the Bengals one

987
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:14.800
returns sixth in the NFL. Kickoff
returns fourth in the NFL. Covering kickoffs,

988
01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:19.039
Darren Simmons almost has three of his
four special teams units the top five.

989
01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:24.800
McPherson now has four of the five
longest field goals in franchise history.

990
01:07:24.840 --> 01:07:29.760
He's gone fifty six, fifty seven, fifty eight, and fifty nine.

991
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.639
The other kicker in that group of
top five would be Randy Bullock, who

992
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:39.199
had a fifty seven yarder, but
Moneymack with four of five, and that

993
01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:43.880
the one he missed. That was
the sequence where Joe was hit and took

994
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:47.079
the sack on third and seven and
moved it back to a fifty yarder and

995
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:50.000
made it more difficult. If I
remember correctly, you can eight yard sack.

996
01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:55.519
Yeah, changed change the dynamic,
you know, dramatically. We're talking

997
01:07:55.920 --> 01:08:00.199
forty two yard chip shot McPherson as
opposed to a few. But McPherson,

998
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:03.159
I'll tell you I should have made
that fifth yard you know, no,

999
01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:10.519
no question about it. But I
tell you it's it's impressive when all three

1000
01:08:10.519 --> 01:08:15.960
phases are operating like like this football
team did on the road. I'm telling

1001
01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:21.760
you it's the flight is draining.
It is a long flight and I can't

1002
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:26.000
imagine what that flight home would have
been like last night. Oh and won

1003
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:28.960
that football game, man, that
would have been brutal. You you know

1004
01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:32.000
it's a good day when your punter
does not punt until six sixteen of the

1005
01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:36.520
third quarter. That's the first time
Brad Robbins punted. He had one.

1006
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:41.640
I thought Yoshi was so close it
it hit and it was just a hard

1007
01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:44.079
kick. It was tough for Yoshi
to down it. But he had a

1008
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:45.920
chance of that three and it just
made because it was a once it hit,

1009
01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:50.439
it rocketed right at him with the
bounce and and the wind. Trent

1010
01:08:50.520 --> 01:08:56.039
Irwin, I tried to judge the
wind as it was swirling. Let the

1011
01:08:56.119 --> 01:09:00.720
one bounce and it bounced about an
extra thirteen yards to the Bengals disadvantage.

1012
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:02.039
But it was part of what was
going on win wise at that point.

1013
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:05.119
And that's what Darren Simmons will tell
you. He can. He has it

1014
01:09:05.159 --> 01:09:09.439
down to the inch. Whenever you
let a punt hit the ground, the

1015
01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:15.039
average distance is and it probably is
probably you know, around eleven or twelve

1016
01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:19.439
yards, you know, give her
take. So that is definitely a huge

1017
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:24.880
factor. Yeah. I forgot to
mention this after your conversation with Orlando Brown

1018
01:09:24.960 --> 01:09:28.600
Junior. But the forty nine ers
played it up yesterday with bringing back the

1019
01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:31.640
eighty one forty nine ers team the
eighty eight forty nine ers team. Joe

1020
01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:34.239
Montana was there, Jerry Rice was
there, they were all there. And

1021
01:09:34.520 --> 01:09:39.039
I loved your comment to Orlando Brown
Junior. Thank you for beating them the

1022
01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:44.359
forty nine ers out right. That's
good. Yeah, as a former offensive

1023
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:47.279
line of lumb thank you, you
know, and he big smile, laughed

1024
01:09:47.279 --> 01:09:53.600
about it. But at Joe Montana
Joe Burrow, big hug before the game,

1025
01:09:54.239 --> 01:09:59.880
and very similar in their style of
play. Joe Montana was sergeant like

1026
01:10:00.239 --> 01:10:05.279
with his accuracy, Joe Burrow sergeant
like and Joe Montana underrated athlete in terms

1027
01:10:05.279 --> 01:10:09.760
of hurting you with his feet.
A lot of similarities there as well,

1028
01:10:10.439 --> 01:10:13.960
that's two hours. Hang tight.
Lucky for you we've been for us,

1029
01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:15.960
We've got a third because we've got
a whole lot more to talk about.

1030
01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:20.840
Lou Anarumo will join us to kick
off the third hour. We'll hear a

1031
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:25.800
little bit more from Zach, a
little bit more from Joe, plus preview

1032
01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:29.880
that Buffalo Bill's game, and then
you're gonna want to hear the game balls.

1033
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:34.159
We go inside the locker room for
the presentation and it's pretty good stuff,

1034
01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:39.239
really good stuff from Zach. And
then Joe brings everybody together for the

1035
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:42.960
Woday chant. You'll hear that.
To wrap things up, we're cruising on

1036
01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:45.279
this Monday night of Bengals Line.
We're on the first Star Logistics Bengals Radio

Health feature. Lance and a couple
of players up front. Trey hendrickson defensive

1045
01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:43.119
line ankle issue. He came back
at a sack or smumble, so it

1046
01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:46.079
looks like it's gonna be okay.
I'm sure it's sore this morning after sleeping

1047
01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:53.520
on it overnight. Alex Kappa he
got targeted by a defensive back who gave

1048
01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:56.840
a good old floating rib shot.
He said he got smoked right in the

1049
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:01.560
ribcage and he has got a bruised
are in that Rob Gauge. Hopefully nothing

1050
01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:05.840
more than that. Those injuries presented

1053
01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:23.920
There's very very I guess the simplest
way to say it is the man

1054
01:12:24.760 --> 01:12:27.279
the Winter Room. The man.
Well, I appreciate that laugh, but

1055
01:12:27.279 --> 01:12:30.079
I gotta I gotta give a shout
out to Kettering health too, because they

1056
01:12:30.119 --> 01:12:34.880
need to come and get our guy
laughing telling you it was it was worse

1057
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:39.359
yesterday. I was struggling, man, it was. It was a struggle,

1058
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:42.600
but it was so much fun.
I'm watching this game and I'm like,

1059
01:12:42.720 --> 01:12:47.560
man, this is what what a
what a complete complimentary football game that

1060
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:55.279
football team put out there yesterday?
And coach DJ Reader, what the hell

1061
01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:58.119
was that? How do you call
that penalty? It's the only penalty of

1062
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:00.439
the day. Are you kidding me? It would have been a perfect game.

1063
01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:03.279
Why did I see him upset on
the sideline at the end of Oh

1064
01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:09.359
my god, Oh my god,
what the hell that was? That was?

1065
01:13:10.199 --> 01:13:13.439
That's the way you want to instruct
it. That was a picture perfect

1066
01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:16.840
form tackle. Unreal. Yeah,
it's tough, tough one. What what

1067
01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:21.199
did he say anything to you to
be given you? He just there?

1068
01:13:21.319 --> 01:13:27.560
So how was that? I just
wanted to leave that topic alone. What

1069
01:13:27.560 --> 01:13:30.920
what kind of explanation can you give
on that other than I blew it?

1070
01:13:31.039 --> 01:13:33.479
Sorry, I blew it. Let
me Let me bail you out of any

1071
01:13:33.479 --> 01:13:41.359
potential fine by please help me.
Opening drive, Christian goes for eight and

1072
01:13:41.399 --> 01:13:45.359
then the next two plays boom boom, Cam Taylor brit the big third down

1073
01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:47.640
and and the tone set right on
that opening drive where you stoned him after

1074
01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:53.439
the first play. Yeah, well
I thought I thought DJ. On the

1075
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:58.279
first play, DJ was affected by
one of their linemen and it wouldn't have

1076
01:13:58.279 --> 01:14:00.479
been eight yards. Uh, and
the next play with stuff I'm and then

1077
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:04.520
DJ reader takes the center and walks
them into the backfield. They Cam is

1078
01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:09.159
blitzing off the edge and hits them
there. So uh, yeah, it

1079
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:13.479
was a good start. I think
our goal is obviously to not let them

1080
01:14:13.520 --> 01:14:15.560
run the ball. They're one of
the best offenses in the league, especially

1081
01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:20.399
at home. They're one of the
most challenging run games to prepare for.

1082
01:14:21.840 --> 01:14:26.399
And really, at the end of
the day, their normal runs did not

1083
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:30.760
affect us. You know, the
quarterback scrambled and they had some yards at

1084
01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:35.439
the end of the game that meant
nothing. So I was happy. It

1085
01:14:35.560 --> 01:14:39.800
seemed like, coach, you have
a you have a great handle on and

1086
01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:44.720
you kind of gave this information to
your players. Okay, this window dressing,

1087
01:14:44.840 --> 01:14:49.479
some of it isn't that meaningful.
So make sure you're where you're supposed

1088
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:55.039
to be. And if the window
dressing you know is a big deal.

1089
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:57.920
You're already there, you already said, because what they're trying to do is

1090
01:14:57.960 --> 01:15:00.600
get you moving still. They don't
want you be set and ready to take

1091
01:15:00.640 --> 01:15:04.720
things on. You guys were set
and ready to take things on. Yeah.

1092
01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:09.399
It's it's, as I mentioned,
very challenging with all the shifts and

1093
01:15:09.479 --> 01:15:12.840
motions that they have, but uh, you know, we we are.

1094
01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:15.159
I thought our players handle all of
it well as you mentioned, and you

1095
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:19.479
know, it's it's. Uh,
it's not easy because we can talk about

1096
01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:21.600
it how it doesn't affect you,
but when you see, you know,

1097
01:15:23.640 --> 01:15:26.880
guys moving in front of you before
the ball snapped, it's it's challenging,

1098
01:15:26.920 --> 01:15:30.680
but guys, it looked great.
Six the red zone shutouts. Now six

1099
01:15:30.760 --> 01:15:34.479
different times opponents get to the red
zone get nothing from you. And the

1100
01:15:34.479 --> 01:15:39.199
the Jermaine Pratt interception, it's one
thing if it's a throw down the field

1101
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:43.279
he's reacting to it was right in
front of his face, and the reaction

1102
01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:46.239
and the the hand eye coordination,
it was it was something else. It

1103
01:15:46.279 --> 01:15:49.119
was a great play by g I
don't know how he caught it. But

1104
01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:53.920
the play starts with Sam Hubbard,
so they're trying to run a shovel,

1105
01:15:53.960 --> 01:15:59.880
pass the kittle, and we played
a particular specific way and and you know

1106
01:16:00.600 --> 01:16:04.760
Sam comes down to force to take
away the shovel and it kind of disrupts

1107
01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:09.680
the play and then you know,
Jermaine takes over from there. So it's

1108
01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:14.920
terrific. So they get two good
linebackers, no question about it. I

1109
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:17.720
mean they do. Warner's a great
player, green Law is a great player.

1110
01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:21.720
But your two linebackers, Logan Wilson, Jermaine Pratty. He's got an

1111
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:26.560
interception, and I think they looked
at it as you know what, man,

1112
01:16:26.640 --> 01:16:28.960
we're pretty good too, and we're
gonna show people we're pretty good.

1113
01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:33.640
They made more big plays in that
football game than that duo did. Well.

1114
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:36.279
I say it all the time.
I wouldn't tradear two for for anybody.

1115
01:16:36.279 --> 01:16:39.840
And those guys are great players,
as you mentioned on the other side.

1116
01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:45.600
You know just just how they handle
the game, Jermaine and Logan,

1117
01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:50.880
how they communicate. I can't there's
no price tag you can put on that.

1118
01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:55.119
So those guys are football players and
we got a lot of them,

1119
01:16:55.199 --> 01:16:58.960
which is a good thing, no
doubt. We've referred to Trey Hendrickson as

1120
01:16:58.960 --> 01:17:01.159
a warrior. Before yesterday, you
see him go down, You're thinking,

1121
01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:03.840
Okay, get up, and then
he's hobbling. But man, he went

1122
01:17:03.880 --> 01:17:08.560
back in and a big impact towards
all the way to the end. Always

1123
01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:13.319
always, Trey is just always affecting, uh, always affecting the quarterback,

1124
01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:15.640
always affecting the game in one way
or the other. Uh. And thank

1125
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:19.760
god, you know, uh,
he was able to bounce back and do

1126
01:17:19.880 --> 01:17:25.520
what he did for us towards the
end. Hubert had us, ach Henderson

1127
01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:29.840
had us. Sack Hill was a
factor the h Boys and their coach by

1128
01:17:29.880 --> 01:17:33.920
another H Boy hobby. I mean
that defensive line. It starts today and

1129
01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:39.399
does a great job. You know, all of our assistants do, all

1130
01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:43.840
the coaches do, but yeah,
hob is on those guys constantly, and

1131
01:17:44.520 --> 01:17:46.239
you know they they love him and
they want to play for him. And

1132
01:17:46.279 --> 01:17:50.479
it's a it's a heck of a
deal. Including the final play of the

1133
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:56.359
third and so that in fifteen minutes
and change to finish the game. Your

1134
01:17:56.680 --> 01:18:00.159
you guys force three turnovers, three
in the final quarter and on play at

1135
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:03.960
time, so important, especially the
one as you mentioned Dow in the red

1136
01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:10.680
area. You know, Logan's interception
was phenomenal again, Jermaine's as well,

1137
01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:15.680
and Mike Hilton's and the sack fumble
on the next play. You know,

1138
01:18:15.800 --> 01:18:18.720
all played very well. Yeah,
no quo, no question about it.

1139
01:18:20.279 --> 01:18:25.239
The other good thing too, when
you look at complimentary football, the ultimate

1140
01:18:25.319 --> 01:18:29.680
compliment would be, Okay, we're
gonna score in one play, and they

1141
01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:33.800
did seventeen yard touchdown pass Jubarch turn
it over. Okay, not only did

1142
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:38.079
you turn it over, we just
scored in your face. I mean that

1143
01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:41.279
that stuff demoralizes to you. Oh, there's no doubt, you know,

1144
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.319
you know, uh, just the
way the energy on the sideline just go

1145
01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:50.079
as you go from a huge play
on defense to a touchdown and then you're

1146
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:55.840
just riding that wave of momentum all
the way through. And then it showed

1147
01:18:55.920 --> 01:19:00.520
yesterday for sure. Our you know, Joe was, Burrow was outstad Mixing

1148
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:03.520
was outstanding, all of our guys. You know, the way they the

1149
01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:08.800
way our offensive line protected for Joe
in game time to throw the ball and

1150
01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:12.760
I think he had what seventeen and
something, We're eighteen straight completions, They're

1151
01:19:12.960 --> 01:19:18.319
right, I'm not mistaken. Nineteen, So just great, great, great

1152
01:19:18.359 --> 01:19:23.520
by our whole team. Hilton comes
off the edge sticks Mitchell for a loss

1153
01:19:23.560 --> 01:19:27.479
of four. What makes him so
good doing then? Just as a knack,

1154
01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:30.239
you know, it's one of those
things where he just has a great

1155
01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:33.680
feel of when to time it up, when to go and when we call

1156
01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:38.439
those and they turn out to be
runs, they're usually a negative play for

1157
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:43.520
the other team, So it's been
very productive for us. They have,

1158
01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:48.560
you know, extraordinary weapons. You
know, guys like Kittle McCaffrey. You

1159
01:19:48.640 --> 01:19:53.279
can't really spy them necessarily, but
you have to have a lot of eyes

1160
01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:57.000
on them. You can have guys
assigned to them. Other guys have to

1161
01:19:57.000 --> 01:19:59.359
have eyes on them as well,
don't they. Yeah, yeah, we

1162
01:19:59.399 --> 01:20:02.600
paid it, uh, special attention
to McCaffrey early in the game in the

1163
01:20:02.640 --> 01:20:06.159
past game, right, you know, you could see it when I think

1164
01:20:06.159 --> 01:20:09.520
it was the second third down where
we were kind of doubling them, and

1165
01:20:09.560 --> 01:20:13.000
then you know, Kittle got opened
a couple of times. He made a

1166
01:20:13.079 --> 01:20:16.479
quarterback to hell of a throw in
the steamball, so we started doubling him

1167
01:20:16.680 --> 01:20:21.560
some. But those are two great
players they have, and you know,

1168
01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:26.920
so we handled them. Uh,
you know, Kittle had yards there.

1169
01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:30.680
But again at the end that I
don't count that. Yep, sixty,

1170
01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:33.960
that's what kind of aggravates me.
You know, you look at the box

1171
01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:41.279
score and it's like they had over
sixty. It was the game where he

1172
01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.560
held him a seventeen points the most
important. But it wasn't a fore under

1173
01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:46.279
yard performance. I mean no,
it just wasn't that kind of day.

1174
01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:55.479
It was not. No, let
me say it again. Yards don't equal

1175
01:20:55.840 --> 01:20:59.239
point points, no doubt about it. I'm with you, coach, That's

1176
01:20:59.239 --> 01:21:04.319
why you all three phases clicked yesterday. Is this team ready for its traditional

1177
01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:08.159
run? Now? Knock on what? I hope? So you know,

1178
01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:12.439
we've got a great team coming in
here Sunday night, and it doesn't get

1179
01:21:12.479 --> 01:21:17.520
any easier after that. So uh
yeah, we're locked in and you know,

1180
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:21.880
back and ready to go this morning. This forty nine er team had

1181
01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:27.720
won eleven in a row at home
and party had never lost there. He

1182
01:21:27.800 --> 01:21:30.840
was eight and o there. What
does it mean to end that? Well,

1183
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.600
we have great respect for them,
their team, their organization, how

1184
01:21:35.640 --> 01:21:41.640
they built that team. I mean
again, they're humming along there, and

1185
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:45.600
I know they lost a few in
a row, but they're they're they're a

1186
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:49.600
handful and it wouldn't be surprised to
see him again at some point, but

1187
01:21:50.159 --> 01:21:54.720
they're they're they're a terrific team.
So I just felt like the way our

1188
01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:58.520
guys approached it coming off the buy, you know, we knew it was

1189
01:21:58.560 --> 01:22:01.359
gonna, you know, be a
great effort to do that. But I

1190
01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:08.119
was proud of them. I heard
all week long the practices were unbelievable or

1191
01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:12.720
the focus, the execution, and
usually when you have great practices like that,

1192
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:16.000
it leads to that type of performance
on game day. What is it

1193
01:22:16.119 --> 01:22:19.079
about the bye week? This is
the third year in a row now where

1194
01:22:19.159 --> 01:22:23.199
this has been the case. Come
out of the buy, guys ready to

1195
01:22:23.239 --> 01:22:27.159
go back to work focused. I
mean, what is it? I don't

1196
01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:29.800
know. I just you know,
the way Zach's schedules it, I think

1197
01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:30.880
has a lot to do with it. And you know, we give them

1198
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:34.359
enough rest, but we get our
work into use the bonus day on Monday,

1199
01:22:34.439 --> 01:22:40.199
and you know, stay locked in
to what the job is. I

1200
01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:43.560
think when you're playing playing any NFL
team, you're gonna be ready. But

1201
01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:45.560
when you thinking maybe a little bit
more heighten awareness, when you're going on

1202
01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:49.239
the road against a great football team, you know you gotta we all know,

1203
01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:51.760
we've got to be on top of
our game, so it worked out.

1204
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:57.439
Congratulations, thanks as always for making
time with us. I appreciate it.

1205
01:22:57.880 --> 01:23:00.800
The man onto the bills, it
may in one of the bills he

1206
01:23:00.920 --> 01:23:04.039
is Lou Anarumo. We'll take a
time out to continue It's Bengals Line of

1207
01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:12.399
the first Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network
and seven hundred WLW. Hey back on

1208
01:23:12.439 --> 01:23:15.119
Bengals Line of this Monday night on
the first Star Logistics Bengals Radio Network and

1209
01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:19.600
seven hundred WLW. You always good
catching up with Lou and Arumo, Bengals

1210
01:23:19.600 --> 01:23:24.520
defensive coordinator and always appreciate the time. A little bit more from Joe Burrow

1211
01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:28.760
coming up in this hour from the
podium. We'll preview the Buffalo Bills and

1212
01:23:28.800 --> 01:23:30.680
we'll take a listen to the game
balls as well. All of that.

1213
01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:34.720
Before this hour is done, let's
get a little bit more from Zach talking

1214
01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:41.000
about the performance and what they got
all around yesterday and the best all around

1215
01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:45.399
effort of the season. Here is
Zach on thirty one seventeen over the forty

1216
01:23:45.479 --> 01:23:47.359
nine ers. That was our first
real complete game by our team. You

1217
01:23:47.399 --> 01:23:49.720
know, that's how that's how we're
meant to play. And again, our

1218
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:54.880
team meetings this week was was this
is I know it's not even Halloween yet,

1219
01:23:54.920 --> 01:23:56.720
but this is November football for us
when you go on the road and

1220
01:23:56.720 --> 01:23:59.520
play the forty nine ers, a
team that's had a ton of success over

1221
01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:00.720
the last years in this league,
that we have a ton of respects for.

1222
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:03.760
So proud of the way that our
guys fought, probably the way they

1223
01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:06.479
controlled the game in the second half, and and we're able to get us

1224
01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:14.319
this win Burrow today. What stood
out for the most numbers, nineteen consecutive

1225
01:24:14.359 --> 01:24:16.920
completions is pretty good. Uh,
but that typically means that everybody else is

1226
01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:19.760
doing their job as well. And
and this was a big challenge for our

1227
01:24:19.760 --> 01:24:24.039
offensive line, a big challenge for
backs and our tight ends as well.

1228
01:24:24.039 --> 01:24:26.279
They rose that challenge. They were
where they needed to be. They did

1229
01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:29.399
a great job giving him a pocket
he could work with, a great job

1230
01:24:29.439 --> 01:24:31.560
by our receivers playing on time and
being where they needed to be so he

1231
01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:34.439
could find them. Uh, that
extension, you know on the first third

1232
01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:38.159
and ten, that t team made
himself available and got that big I mean

1233
01:24:38.159 --> 01:24:40.720
that really catapulted the dust into the
game. You know, we sit here

1234
01:24:40.720 --> 01:24:44.079
and talk about these games that we
lost, and it was those plays that

1235
01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:46.319
we didn't make early in the game. And so that that's a that's a

1236
01:24:46.319 --> 01:24:49.239
play that jump starts in and end
up scoring a touchdown. And uh,

1237
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:51.680
and that's really what it comes down
to. What do you think about the

1238
01:24:51.720 --> 01:24:55.840
way he moved? I mean that
it was that I mean, he was

1239
01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:59.880
an the way he ran, I
mean what was Yeah, I don't you

1240
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:02.720
that word unbelievable anymore really, to
be honest with you, but that that

1241
01:25:02.800 --> 01:25:05.520
first one, I mean, I'm
joking because that's just kind of what you

1242
01:25:05.520 --> 01:25:11.920
come to expect, and it's it's
just a great job. And again I've

1243
01:25:11.960 --> 01:25:14.279
I've learned just to keep my mouth
shut and not say anything, not think

1244
01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:16.720
anything negative while he's back there in
the pocket moving around. You've just learned

1245
01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:20.119
your lesson year four here. But
again that was again, that was a

1246
01:25:20.159 --> 01:25:21.840
big play and he did a good
job with his feet, He did a

1247
01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:25.039
good job. Ver was two men
running through. That's the best play you

1248
01:25:25.039 --> 01:25:28.079
can get. Did a good job
checking to a quarterback draw on a big

1249
01:25:28.119 --> 01:25:31.359
third down. So again, those
are just things that that he's year four

1250
01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:34.000
here, he's stepping up and recognizing
coverages and knowing how to attack him with

1251
01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:41.000
his feet when he needs to.
I mean, you know, we wouldn't

1252
01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:43.319
trade him out for anybody. There's
a lot of good linebacker do as in

1253
01:25:43.319 --> 01:25:45.920
this league. We wouldn't trade that
pair for anybody. And for both those

1254
01:25:45.920 --> 01:25:48.840
guys to step up and get takeaways. Jermaine's was down in the low red

1255
01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:53.279
first and goal on the eight unbelievable
pick. I didn't see Logan's I was

1256
01:25:53.319 --> 01:25:56.840
over there talking to Burrow, but
I'm sure that was great too. You

1257
01:25:56.840 --> 01:25:58.720
know, I saw the stat,
you know, in my postgame, but

1258
01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:00.880
he's he's got the most line picks
by a linebackers since twenty twenty. That's

1259
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:05.079
just great ball scials. That's the
receiver slash safety that he's gotten his his

1260
01:26:05.159 --> 01:26:10.119
skill set over there from Wyoming and
high school and just really really probably the

1261
01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:13.239
way that those two guys played,
team was able to win here at Sarrancis,

1262
01:26:13.279 --> 01:26:15.399
where they hadn't lost the game of
the season, they only lost one

1263
01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:16.239
game last year. They had won
eleven in a row. They had won

1264
01:26:16.279 --> 01:26:19.840
eleven in a row, and that
that's that's that's things we feed our players,

1265
01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:21.800
you know, because this is the
type team that responds to that.

1266
01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:25.000
They want to hear that. They
want to hear that Buffalo had one home

1267
01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:27.760
loss in the playoffs in their history. They want to hear that this team's

1268
01:26:27.800 --> 01:26:30.239
you know, one eleven in a
row at home, because someone's got to

1269
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:31.479
beat them and it's going to be
us, you know. So I think

1270
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:33.960
that that's just kind of the edge
that these guys play with. They want

1271
01:26:33.960 --> 01:26:38.560
that information, uh to fuel them. And and they they responded how I

1272
01:26:38.600 --> 01:26:41.279
assumed that they would. We did
go one under center and they've been locked

1273
01:26:41.279 --> 01:26:43.640
for you guys today that you haven't
been able to do because you haven't been

1274
01:26:43.640 --> 01:26:45.079
able to do it. Yeah,
there's just some things that we felt like

1275
01:26:45.119 --> 01:26:47.920
we could do to attack them,
and and felt like our guys did a

1276
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:50.680
great job executing. You know,
we kind of had a plethora, that's

1277
01:26:50.680 --> 01:26:55.239
a that's a fun word I haven't
used yet up here, a variation of

1278
01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:57.840
things that we could do there.
And I thought our guys did a great

1279
01:26:57.920 --> 01:27:00.159
job finished really with the same run
there a couple plays in a row.

1280
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:02.560
Our guys were just doing a great
job blocking it. That mixing scored on

1281
01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:06.359
and and really proud of the way
that those guys, I mean that's tough.

1282
01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:09.520
That's tough to block the same play
three times in a row. And

1283
01:27:09.560 --> 01:27:12.720
our guys responded the right way,
and Mixing made a great cut and scored

1284
01:27:12.720 --> 01:27:16.520
a big touch on there touchdown and
Chase there the slot the screen or whatever.

1285
01:27:17.159 --> 01:27:20.239
Was that a play that you were
saving for a moment, you know,

1286
01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:24.479
right after the interception right there in
scoring range where you'd see him on

1287
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:27.399
that all day or what was the
background on that thing? Uh, it

1288
01:27:27.479 --> 01:27:29.920
almost come up that the play we
hit Chase with at the end of the

1289
01:27:29.920 --> 01:27:32.600
two minute drive that got us down
inside the ten. That was kind of

1290
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:35.760
toggling between those two and and we
chose the one that that was a big

1291
01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:40.479
game for us and just came back
at the right moment. You know that

1292
01:27:40.520 --> 01:27:42.760
with that play was a suggestion by
somebody on the headset. No, I

1293
01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:45.199
don't know who to give credit to, but that's a good spot for it.

1294
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:47.159
You know, that was Brian and
Troy early in the week putting that

1295
01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:50.640
play in based on something they saw. And you know, it's a good

1296
01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:54.159
job just by our coaching staff finding
the right moment to get to that play

1297
01:27:54.199 --> 01:27:57.479
and and uh, Joe Joe and
Jamar and TV did a great job selling

1298
01:27:57.520 --> 01:27:59.720
it and get into it. Was
the idea at the start of the season

1299
01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:06.079
was the get here, this is
what we know we're capable of, and

1300
01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:09.680
we left some stuff on the field. We left, you know, it

1301
01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:12.279
was to the field goal that we
missed. That was we put having in

1302
01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:14.680
a tough spot. We knew in
warm ups that was that was the tough

1303
01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:17.279
direction. That was a tough distance. I think we had a sack that

1304
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.039
that kind of took us out of
a rhythm there. That was a tough

1305
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:23.039
one, and then he drained the
fifty six yarder on the other way.

1306
01:28:23.039 --> 01:28:27.920
But I don't remember what your question
was, now, Oh what the offense

1307
01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:33.600
looked like? Yeah, I think
it just gives us more variation, more

1308
01:28:33.600 --> 01:28:38.039
things for teams to work on.
But again, I just I thought that

1309
01:28:38.039 --> 01:28:41.600
the team executed really well verse versus
team that you're going to have to execute

1310
01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:43.720
well to beat. You know,
you're not just going to get free plays

1311
01:28:43.720 --> 01:28:45.319
against them. They're going to make
your earn everything. I thought they did

1312
01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:48.119
a really good job of justin come
out of a halftime and making things challenging

1313
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:53.119
for us. And so again our
guys found a way to respond and found

1314
01:28:53.159 --> 01:28:55.680
a way to make some plays and
and I was proud of the response that

1315
01:28:55.720 --> 01:28:59.560
we had there. Comments from Zach
following the win. More as we continue,

1316
01:28:59.560 --> 01:29:02.720
a little bit more from Joe Burrow
on how he felt yesterday and a

1317
01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:08.119
look ahead of the Buffalo Bills.
That and more moving along on Bengals line

1318

Network and seven hundred WLW. Let's keep

1319
01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:17.760
talking Bengals Onday Monday Night. No
reason to slow down on a victory Monday

1320
01:29:17.800 --> 01:29:21.399
thirty one seventeen over the Niners.
It's Bengals Line of the First Star Logistics

1321

Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW. IM lance backcallister, he would be

1322
01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:31.680
Dave Lapham and this portion of the
show is presented by Bedford's Sportsbook, official

1323
01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:36.279
sports betting partner of the Cincinnati Bengals. Talked about Joe's day a lot twenty

1324
01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:41.319
eight to thirty two to two hundred
and thirty eight yards passing three touchdowns,

1325
01:29:41.319 --> 01:29:44.760
no interceptions. Here is a little
bit more from Joe on how he felt

1326
01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:48.119
and how the offense was clicking.
Yeah, felt good, able to exc

1327
01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:51.439
well enough to win. We still
have some points out on the field.

1328
01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:55.039
So just like every win and every
loss. You're gonna learn from it and

1329
01:29:55.119 --> 01:30:01.000
watch the tape. But it's a
good day. Yeah, we needed this

1330
01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:03.640
one. We needed this one,
so big win, but it was just

1331
01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:06.680
one. We got a lot of
football left to be played, so we're

1332
01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:14.000
gonna enjoy this one for a day
and get right back to it when it

1333
01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:19.560
looks like And we managed to scramble
and yeah, tough, too tough to

1334
01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:25.840
break those down. They just kind
of happened, you know. Really that

1335
01:30:26.039 --> 01:30:32.600
was athleticism, acceleration, explosiveness was
really a big focus of mine in the

1336
01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:35.159
off season. Uh, I just
haven't really been able to show that too

1337
01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:39.640
much. So it was nice to
to have that hardwork payoff. How much

1338
01:30:39.680 --> 01:30:47.680
does it feel like? Yes,
great week of prep, that's really where

1339
01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:51.319
it starts. The urgency was really
high all week, great great, great

1340
01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:57.760
days of practice and it wasn't perfect, but you learn from every rep that

1341
01:30:57.800 --> 01:31:00.079
you get and you were able to
correct it very quickly. So it was

1342
01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:04.479
a great week. We're gonna learn
from this one and move on. Chase

1343
01:31:05.239 --> 01:31:10.079
Wilson right on the side, would
you say to those guys, man,

1344
01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:15.159
I mean, Jermaine's play in the
red zone was unbelievable. I've i told

1345
01:31:15.239 --> 01:31:16.560
him it was one of the best
players defensive players I've ever seen. It

1346
01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:19.319
was big time. He just needs
to stand bound to go score. Next

1347
01:31:19.319 --> 01:31:24.520
time to Joe, what did you
think going on the Senate did that?

1348
01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:29.119
Did that help? Yeah? We
were able to get some some big play

1349
01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:32.279
action shots off of that. We
got some some great production out of that.

1350
01:31:32.319 --> 01:31:34.920
So that's gonna continue to be part
of what we do. Can you

1351
01:31:34.960 --> 01:31:40.119
can you take me through the wild
scramble on the first drive? I mean

1352
01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:43.520
you held it for almost it was
ten seconds time to throw. Did you

1353
01:31:43.560 --> 01:31:45.000
think you were going down? Just
what did you see on that? Well,

1354
01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:47.760
I'm never I never think I'm going
down. I'm gonna, you know,

1355
01:31:47.840 --> 01:31:53.279
fight to the end on those It
was you know when when plays break

1356
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:56.399
down like that of always pride of
myself and being able to get out of

1357
01:31:56.399 --> 01:32:00.640
those situations and make plays. Like
I said, that's something that I worked

1358
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:01.800
really hard on and off season.
I just haven't really been able to show

1359
01:32:01.800 --> 01:32:08.479
that. So it's nice to to
see that hardwork payoff. University at the

1360
01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:13.239
end of the first turn it over
there and then come out and put points

1361
01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:17.159
on the board. Structure of that
game. Yeah, yeah, like I

1362
01:32:17.199 --> 01:32:19.760
said, it wasn't perfect, that's
for sure. We we left points out

1363
01:32:19.760 --> 01:32:23.159
there, and we had some mental
mistakes, uh that we got to clean

1364
01:32:23.239 --> 01:32:27.960
up. But overall, it is
a well executed game. But it was

1365
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:30.359
a great team win, complimentary football. Defense stepped up in big spots,

1366
01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:39.039
offense stepped up in big spots.
Special teams stepped up in big spots.

1367
01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:41.800
Yeah, it's you know, he's
not getting a ton of opportunities, but

1368
01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:45.760
the opportunities that he's getting he's making
the most of. He's he's really savvy

1369
01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:49.119
and scrambled droll situations. Uh,
those are both of both of his touchdowns

1370
01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:54.000
have have come that way. So
that's exciting to see and we're gonna see

1371
01:32:54.039 --> 01:32:58.119
more of it going forward for your
career. There's a lot of talk about

1372
01:32:58.239 --> 01:33:00.479
the offensive line, and you know, things weren't going well and there's always

1373
01:33:00.640 --> 01:33:03.560
comments on the offensive line. How
do you feel like they played today and

1374
01:33:03.560 --> 01:33:09.039
specifically Orlando Rout going up against one
of the best pressures. Yeah, they

1375
01:33:09.039 --> 01:33:12.760
were awesome. They were awesome.
Uh, not just in the in the

1376
01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:15.159
past pro but also in the run
game. That was a big part of

1377
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:17.479
the game today. We were super
efficient in the run game. We also

1378
01:33:17.479 --> 01:33:20.800
had I think we ended up with
over one hundred yards rushing. Uh and

1379
01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:23.800
so that's gonna be a big part
of what we do going forward. That

1380
01:33:23.880 --> 01:33:27.119
was a complete game on offense.
We got to stack more of those together.

1381
01:33:27.159 --> 01:33:29.840
Now we'll get to Chase to see
Montana before the game. Did you

1382
01:33:29.920 --> 01:33:32.159
notice it or a lot of did
They were honoring Passport year the teams and

1383
01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:34.640
that stuff. I don't know,
No, I did not, But me

1384
01:33:34.680 --> 01:33:39.680
and Joe are good friends. He's
a great guy. You know, we've

1385
01:33:40.079 --> 01:33:43.520
we've done some marketing things together.
So it's always nice to see him.

1386
01:33:43.560 --> 01:33:49.640
I always enjoy spending time with him. So change you have to if you

1387
01:33:49.680 --> 01:33:54.000
want to be good. We got
great coaches that that know what it takes,

1388
01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:59.840
and we got players that are able
to take great coaching and and you

1389
01:33:59.880 --> 01:34:02.800
know, really apply very quickly.
And so coming out of the by we

1390
01:34:02.880 --> 01:34:05.399
had a lot of things that we
wanted to work on, and you saw

1391
01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:09.960
it on the field today. Joe
Burrow meeting with media after the game Dave.

1392
01:34:10.039 --> 01:34:13.560
During this three game winning streak,
Joe Burrow is completing seventy eight percent

1393
01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:18.840
of his passes, eight touchdowns,
just two interceptions, quarterback rating one eleven

1394
01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:23.560
point three over the last three games. And I know we've talked a lot

1395
01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:28.920
about the performance, but it just
it shows you optimal level Joe is well.

1396
01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:32.640
I mean, I'm not breaking news
here, just how elite a quarterback

1397
01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:38.840
he is and what he means to
this football team and the confidence, the

1398
01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:43.560
infusion of confidence they have to feel
yesterday for all the times we've wondered and

1399
01:34:43.560 --> 01:34:45.119
they had to wonder, you know, Joe's not quite right? Is he

1400
01:34:45.199 --> 01:34:48.439
going to be right? Is going
to nag him throughout the season? What

1401
01:34:48.680 --> 01:34:53.640
yesterday meant has to mean a lot
to everybody involved with this organization. There's

1402
01:34:53.680 --> 01:35:00.479
no question Lanson, Joe Burrow said
rightfully, So okay, this is one,

1403
01:35:00.600 --> 01:35:03.199
you know, and we've got ten
left, and we got ten to

1404
01:35:03.239 --> 01:35:09.920
one game seasons basically because honestly,
the second half of the Seattle game game

1405
01:35:09.960 --> 01:35:14.359
prior to this one and before they
went into the by was not vintage Joe

1406
01:35:14.359 --> 01:35:16.800
Burrow. And he knows that.
So he knows that it can come and

1407
01:35:16.840 --> 01:35:21.199
go. He doesn't take anything for
granted. I mean, I think he

1408
01:35:21.239 --> 01:35:27.520
appreciates, you know, the performance
that he put together against the forty nine

1409
01:35:27.600 --> 01:35:30.920
ers, but he knows it doesn't
mean the Hill of Beans. When he

1410
01:35:30.960 --> 01:35:34.279
goes out there against the Buffalo Bills, it's going to be another entirely different

1411
01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:42.560
dynamic, different players, different game
plan, different matchups. The carryover is

1412
01:35:44.079 --> 01:35:48.239
you just basically have to start over, start from scratch every single week,

1413
01:35:48.479 --> 01:35:51.960
and he knows that better than anybody. He does it better than anybody.

1414
01:35:53.079 --> 01:35:56.439
We'll talk about those Buffalo Bills up
next. Then you'll hear the game ball

1415
01:35:56.520 --> 01:36:00.560
presentation as we head down the stretch
Bengals on I'm the first Star Logistics Bengals

1416
01:36:00.640 --> 01:36:08.560
Radio Network and seven hundred WLW.
Hey, we're rolling right along on this

1417
01:36:08.680 --> 01:36:12.840
Monday night. It's a victory Monday
and we're breaking down thirty one seventeen over

1418
01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:15.000
the Niners, and we've always got
time for the opposition on a Sunday nighter

1419
01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:17.600
against the Bills. We'll get into
that. The show is Bengals Line.

1420
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:21.840
We're on the First Star Logistics Bengals
Radio Network and seven hundred WLW. I'm

1421
01:36:21.880 --> 01:36:26.319
Lance Pacalister and he is Dave Lapham
Well Lance. As we know, the

1422
01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:29.920
stadium is called Paid Court Stadium,
and pay Corp is proud to be the

1423
01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:35.479
official HR provider of Cincinnati Bengals Buffalo
Bills up next under the bright lights Sunday

1424
01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:40.840
Night football at pay Corps. Buffalo
is five and three coming off a Thursday

1425
01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:44.119
nighter, so a little bit more
time for them. A twenty four to

1426
01:36:44.199 --> 01:36:47.079
eighteen win over the Buccaneers. They
have wins over the Buccaneers, the Giants,

1427
01:36:47.119 --> 01:36:50.880
the Dolphins, Commanders, and Raiders
lost to the Jets to open the

1428
01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:56.720
season. Also lost to Jacksonville at
home and at the Patriots twenty five twenty

1429
01:36:56.720 --> 01:36:59.920
four. But if you're talking Buffalo
Bills, it always starts with the main

1430
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:03.720
named Josh Allen, who had a
big game on Thursday night. Didn't added

1431
01:37:03.760 --> 01:37:08.159
in like Joe Burrow. The rushing
element rushed for forty one yards. But

1432
01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:13.439
Josh Allen is we talk Joe Burrow
being a late Josh Allen is certainly in

1433
01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:19.520
that conversation among NFL quarterbacks. His
arm strength second to none. His arm

1434
01:37:19.600 --> 01:37:24.399
talent is there as well. I
mean, he's he can be accurate,

1435
01:37:25.159 --> 01:37:29.079
probably not as consistently accurate as Joe
Burrow and others in the league, but

1436
01:37:29.600 --> 01:37:33.920
he's completing almost seventy two percent of
his passes seventeen touchdowns, eight interceptions right

1437
01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:40.239
now, more than two to one. You know, the thing that's very

1438
01:37:40.279 --> 01:37:45.439
interesting. The second and fourth quarter. The other ones they're doing their damage.

1439
01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:48.119
Seventy one to twenty nine. They've
outscored the opponent of the second quarter

1440
01:37:48.399 --> 01:37:54.279
forty two points. Eighty three points
they've scored in the fourth quarter and allowed

1441
01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:58.039
fifty one. So that's the most
they've allowed, but it's the most they've

1442
01:37:58.079 --> 01:38:01.479
scored as well. So they have
finish in the fourth quarter plus thirty two.

1443
01:38:01.520 --> 01:38:05.920
That's their second best quarter. But
that's that is where the Bengal's gonna

1444
01:38:05.920 --> 01:38:10.680
have to compete. They're gonna have
to finish in that fourth quarter because you

1445
01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:14.760
know the Buffalo Bills are gonna be
there and be part of it. Third

1446
01:38:14.800 --> 01:38:18.800
down Buffalo second in the NFL right
now, converting forty nine percent on third

1447
01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:26.479
down. Dalton Kincaid, we come
off a game where the tight end was

1448
01:38:26.520 --> 01:38:29.479
productive for the forty nine ers and
Kittle. Dalton Kincaid's the rookie. They

1449
01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:33.279
took twenty fifth overall and he's kind
of stepped up and assumed the like number

1450
01:38:33.359 --> 01:38:38.439
one man role because of the injury
to Knocks. But Kinkaid, the rookie,

1451
01:38:38.479 --> 01:38:43.079
has thirty catches for two hundred and
fifty eight yards, and a touchdown,

1452
01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:45.479
a nice showing in his first eight
games of his rookie season. Yeah,

1453
01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:50.359
and the Bengals historically and traditionally they
had their issues with the tight end

1454
01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:57.159
position. So we know about the
offense and defenses of both these football teams.

1455
01:38:57.800 --> 01:39:00.800
Special teams is going to be a
factor. I mean, the old

1456
01:39:00.840 --> 01:39:05.840
position is going to be huge.
Who is gonna take away fewer first downs

1457
01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:12.199
that the irrespective offenses have to worry
about. And we talked about how well

1458
01:39:12.239 --> 01:39:16.279
the Bengals special teams were playing Buffalo
third in the NFL and returns sixth and

1459
01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:23.000
kickoff returns eighth and covering kickoffs,
so both of these football teams three of

1460
01:39:23.079 --> 01:39:28.359
their four areas of special teams in
the top ten. Back to Josh Allen

1461
01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:30.960
for a second. We talked about
just how good he is, but he's

1462
01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:35.119
also had that propensity for turning the
football over. He's thrown eight interceptions,

1463
01:39:35.159 --> 01:39:40.600
he's fumbled three times, lost too, and that's been the bugaboo and kind

1464
01:39:40.600 --> 01:39:44.880
of the recklessness at times. And
the accusation is he tries to do too

1465
01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:47.840
much sometimes and it leads to turnovers
and gives he gives you an opportunity and

1466
01:39:47.880 --> 01:39:50.600
they come in bunch of Yeah.
I mean it's not like you know,

1467
01:39:51.319 --> 01:39:56.720
eight turnover. It's like he'll have
multiples and then he'll go without. Then

1468
01:39:56.720 --> 01:40:02.079
they'll have multiples again. So see
if Lewen and that defense can cause multiples

1469
01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:09.000
in Cincinnati. The last time Buffalo
came to Cincinnati, game wasn't played.

1470
01:40:10.239 --> 01:40:13.960
Now this one is gonna be big. I mean, pay Courts is gonna

1471
01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:18.239
be rocking, no doubt about it. Let's take our final time out.

1472
01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:23.640
We'll head down the stretch. You'll
hear the game ball presentation and more.

1473
01:40:23.720 --> 01:40:28.479
It's Bengals Line on the first Star
Logistics Bengals Radio Network and seven hundred WLW.

1474
01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:32.760
Here we go down the stretch,
final segment of the night on Bengals

1475
01:40:32.760 --> 01:40:36.840
lone of the first Star Logistics Bengals
Radio Network and seven hundred WLW. Lance

1476
01:40:36.840 --> 01:40:41.279
back Catleister Dave Lapham. But before
we run out of time, Dave tell

1477
01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:45.439
us about in the trenches. Yeah, we're gonna be catching up with DJ

1478
01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:49.439
Reader this week in the trenches.
That'll be interesting, I think to find

1479
01:40:49.479 --> 01:40:54.680
out his reaction when that flag was
thrown on the hit that he put he

1480
01:40:54.760 --> 01:40:59.880
put on the quarterback. I mean
that that was crazy but DJ and efforting

1481
01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:04.199
Ted Carriss as well. So I'm
going to have one member of the offensive

1482
01:41:04.199 --> 01:41:09.920
and defensive lines. Is my objective
on this one. And we usually get

1483
01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:15.720
current players, former players, current
coaches, former coaches, broadcast people,

1484
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:20.159
anybody affiliated and associated with the NFL. We try to get a little more

1485
01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:25.199
information for you in the trenches,
Dave. We are on the eve of

1486
01:41:25.239 --> 01:41:30.239
the trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon.
Much has been talked about would they,

1487
01:41:30.239 --> 01:41:34.000
could they, should they? Do
you anticipate any type of move for the

1488
01:41:34.039 --> 01:41:38.479
Bengals by the four o'clock deadline on
Tuesday? I really don't. I mean

1489
01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:44.159
I think that you know, the
bye week was opportune in terms of getting

1490
01:41:44.479 --> 01:41:50.000
your due diligence done for trade discussions
because if somebody calls you, you don't

1491
01:41:50.039 --> 01:41:56.399
want to be ill prepared. And
but so much has to go into it,

1492
01:41:56.760 --> 01:42:03.319
salary cap concerns, the cost of
doing business in terms of compensation of

1493
01:42:03.439 --> 01:42:09.079
player or draft pick to get a
player to come to your particular franchise.

1494
01:42:09.119 --> 01:42:12.800
I mean, there's a lot of
talk, a lot of calls that made

1495
01:42:13.000 --> 01:42:15.800
a lot of talk is done,
but very very few deals are done,

1496
01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:23.399
although last year ten of them ten
players moved on on the last day of

1497
01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:27.279
the trade deadline. Before we close
it out, let's go inside the locker

1498
01:42:27.359 --> 01:42:30.520
room after the game. Here's the
sounds of victory and the game ball presentation.

1499
01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:40.880
Take a listen. How the Bengals
played football? What are we saying?

1500
01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:44.399
Is this October football? Is this
September football? What is this November

1501
01:42:44.439 --> 01:42:46.239
football? Right? And you guys
turned it off? Plays your best come

1502
01:42:46.239 --> 01:42:49.239
out of a bye, because that's
what you do. You played great in

1503
01:42:49.279 --> 01:42:53.800
November, December and January, because
that's what you do. That was a

1504
01:42:53.800 --> 01:42:58.159
good football team. I'm right.
They've won eleven home games in a row.

1505
01:42:58.720 --> 01:43:06.920
How many guy in a roll now
do that's one of those games we

1506
01:43:08.039 --> 01:43:12.399
go on the road and that's us, right, that's Bengals football. Everybody

1507
01:43:12.399 --> 01:43:24.359
gets a game ball. There's a
couple of things that I have to point

1508
01:43:24.399 --> 01:43:28.600
out last couple. I mean a
lot. Okay, in the first half

1509
01:43:28.600 --> 01:43:33.640
with nineteen straight completions twenty eight to
thirty two, I said one percent.

1510
01:43:33.720 --> 01:43:40.800
That's pretty good for two eighty three
and three touchdowns. Awesome protection, awesome

1511
01:43:40.920 --> 01:43:55.079
route running, awesome checkdowns. Okay, Joe Burrows receivers Jamar had ten for

1512
01:43:55.119 --> 01:44:00.319
one hundred to touchdown. He had
sixty nine. He had a big touchdown.

1513
01:44:01.399 --> 01:44:05.439
I saw Trey Harman with the huge
catch for first. I saw Yoshi

1514
01:44:05.479 --> 01:44:12.560
with the touchdown. I saw Joe
Mixon come back home average five four core

1515
01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:19.520
carry in a tochdown. I saw
Logan Wilson have his tenth interception, the

1516
01:44:19.520 --> 01:44:30.159
most fire linebacker. I'm first in
goal in the eighth because no one scores

1517
01:44:30.199 --> 01:44:38.319
in the redsone on our defense.
I saw Jermaine Pratt pick up. I

1518
01:44:38.319 --> 01:44:42.199
saw Hubbard and Hendrick send with some
big sacks. I saw fumble recovers like

1519
01:44:42.279 --> 01:44:46.439
DJ Hill. I saw the first
third and one in the game, d

1520
01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:56.680
J Reiders step up. I saw
the secondary player tails off man. That's

1521
01:44:56.680 --> 01:44:59.520
a tough group. You guys play
your tails off. I saw picked by

1522
01:44:59.560 --> 01:45:13.720
Mike Hill. I saw having mc
curson hit a fifty six, and I

1523
01:45:13.760 --> 01:45:17.880
saw the Bengals get their third straight
wins. Let's just sack when we got

1524
01:45:17.960 --> 01:45:21.479
next week, prime time, Sunday
Night. Wouldn't want any other ways,

1525
01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:26.199
mis Off, Bank Course, Stadium, Buffalo Bills. Let's get it.

1526
01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:38.279
We have to. We're singing for
now. Hoday go beat them bangles day,

1527
01:45:38.560 --> 01:45:45.000
hoday a gonna beat them bangles.
No pretty cool, seeing cool sounds

1528
01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:49.279
of the game Ball presentation, Joe
Burrow wrapping it up there with the hooday

1529
01:45:49.399 --> 01:45:54.800
chant, and we are wrapping up
as well. I uh, I commend

1530
01:45:54.840 --> 01:45:58.960
you because you have made it.
At times I think both you and I

1531
01:45:59.000 --> 01:46:01.760
thought well, question downgraded to doubtful? Will he be downgraded to out?

1532
01:46:02.319 --> 01:46:08.399
You were never out? You stayed
in and I have the ultimate respect for

1533
01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:11.880
you getting this out. You have
made it. Congratulations, I appreciate it.

1534
01:46:12.359 --> 01:46:15.319
Rock Prity was my inspiration. He
got through a concussion protocol in a

1535
01:46:15.399 --> 01:46:19.039
short week, so I felt like
I had to step up. Go rest

1536
01:46:19.119 --> 01:46:23.640
that voice. Feel better and we'll
do it again next week after a big

1537
01:46:23.680 --> 01:46:27.159
Sunday night went over the bills.
Sounds like a plan. Sir Dave Lapham,

1538
01:46:27.199 --> 01:46:30.359

us tonight. It has been Bengals
