17
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.240

18
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>how high is the perspiration? And the weather is going

19
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 1>to be great. People are going nuts. Max Montoya has

20
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>the connection with Dan Hurley and Moore. Give me a

21
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 1>full report. I have very specific questions, though, give me

22
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>a full report. Where is the excitement meter?

23
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's up there, Willie. There's there's no question

24
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>about it. The they think that it's going to be

25
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>a really, really solid football team, and the weather is

26
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>going to be almost like fall. It's going to be beautiful,

27
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>be in the seventies, low seventies for the game. But uh,

28
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>that morning when you wake up, man, it's going to

29
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>feel like in October or November morning. There's there's no questions. So, yeah,

30
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 2>guys are geared up. There's no no question about it.

31
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>The the opening weekend the National Football League is always

32
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>always a big deal, and man was it kicked off

33
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>by a pull of football game last night. It was unbelievable.

34
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>How about Kansas City's first two games at home against

35
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens then the Bengals. Uh many. I've read some

36
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City stuff from the Star Ledger, et cetera, and

37
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>it looks to me as if they're they're higher than

38
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.079
<v Speaker 1>a kite and they be the Ravens. I don't know.

39
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that the Ravens are, shall we say, it's

40
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>just a NACHA two below the Chiefs. When you examined

41
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that game last night, ken Ken, the Bengals compete against

42
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs with that team, but Patrick mahomes exciting, unbelievable

43
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>defense was good and I never saw most of those

44
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. They made Tyreek Hill look like it was slow.

45
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 1>What did you see in that game?

46
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw the rookie from Texas, Xavier Worthy, just

47
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 2>his first touch of his NFL career was want of

48
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>reverse for about a touch on you he was a blur.

49
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean here he's running through guys like they were

50
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>standing still. He scores two touchdowns in his first NFL game,

51
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>one on the ground and one on the air. And

52
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes won a Super Bowl with more pedestrian corps

53
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>receivers than he's got. Now, I mean, this kid, he

54
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>adds speed to that football team. And then when you

55
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>have somebody who can stretch the field vertically and horizontally

56
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>horizontally like he did on that reverse, I mean when

57
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>he's in motion, he's a blur. You know, guys are

58
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to catch up to when he goes in motion,

59
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>across the backfield went to the field. So I mean

60
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>he makes he makes Kelsey's life easier, He makes all

61
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the other receiver's life easier because you know, he stretches

62
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the field both ways, vertically and horizontally. He's he's a weapon.

63
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Man speaking in vertically and horizontally. Did you see Taylor Swift.

64
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, what

65
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the hell's going on?

66
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Man?

67
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, let's get back to football. Who runs it. Let's

68
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>say you line up on the fifty yard line and

69
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 1>you got Xavier Worthy on one side and La Dela

70
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Cruz on the other. Who wins the race?

71
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what that's That's a good race because

72
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Dela Cruz he gets he gets from zero to to

73
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>fifty quickly. I mean, he's not one of those guys

74
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 2>it takes about three or four steps to get get

75
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>in high gear. Man, he's in high gear right now,

76
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>and he's got long strides. A fifty yard.

77
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Race, yeah, that wins.

78
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>That'd be a good race because you know Worthy's He's

79
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>run the fastest forty in the history of the National Football.

80
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>League, like four to two or four to one or something.

81
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like got like got four to one. That's exactly

82
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>what it was. I mean, it was like nuts, Yeah,

83
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it's nuts.

84
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about specifics here. I get into the facts.

85
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>You're you're a great poet, but I tend to deal

86
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>with facts. And uh, while you're laughing, and they and

87
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the five seasons that uh, Zach Taylor has been the

88
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>head football coach with your Bengals. In the first two games.

89
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 1>According to Jason Williams, the Bengals are one and nine

90
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>in the first two games in the last five seasons.

91
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Why would this be different this year? One and nine?

92
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>They're terrible? Why first of all, why have they been terrible?

93
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>And secondly, why is this year different?

94
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Sometimes it's been opponent driven. I mean, when you

95
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>play the Kansas City Chiefs or the Baltimore Ravens or

96
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>any bigger like that in your first couple of games

97
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 2>at the start a season, it's you know, it's it

98
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>makes a dicey uh. And they got bigger in Kansas City.

99
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>They go to Kansas City week two, and that's going

100
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>to be a hell of a hell of a challenge

101
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 2>out there when you play them in Kansas City, that

102
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>place is I mean, you can't even hear yourself think

103
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 2>out there, it is. It's absolutely nuts out there. So

104
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>that that's going to be very interesting. First and foremost,

105
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>they're going to get off to a good start against

106
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots. They're favored by I think more than anybody

107
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>else in the National Football League. I think eight and

108
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a half point favorite something like that, and I think

109
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>that's the highest in Week one. So I can't look

110
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 2>at that, and they just got to say, let's let's

111
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 2>take care of business to get down to brass tax

112
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 2>here and get after the New England Patriots, who, by

113
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the way, willie for out of the last five years

114
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>to top ten defense in the National Football League. They

115
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>were seventh last year. So this is this is a

116
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>football team that prides itself on its defensive performance. They

117
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 2>trut their disguise, they try to they try to create

118
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>chaos and confusion and take cash. In my mind, take

119
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Caresh in my mind, is going to be hugely important

120
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>because he's the guy that's got to sort it all out,

121
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>recognize it, communicate it quickly, bring some calm to that

122
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>chaotic storm that the Patriots are trying to bring. So

123
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be interesting. Man.

124
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Number one,

125
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Dela Cruz, not Dela Cruz. Number two. Let's talk about

126
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the man. Let's talk about Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase, the

127
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Great Number one. The speculation was earlier in the week

128
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 1>They're going announce it during the Thursday night game like

129
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 1>they did with JB. That didn't happen. Here we sit

130
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Friday afternoon, all hell's breaking loose. I look at according

131
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 1>to Austin and some others, Tony Benders looked at the next thing.

132
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 1>I think he has spies everywhere and also cameras. It

133
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>appears it appears that these secondary receivers are not running

134
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>with the first team and that it is the Great

135
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Jamar Chases the guy out there. I mean, do you

136
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.519
<v Speaker 1>have a sense by Sunday? Number one? Is he going

137
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>to play? Number two? Is he going to sign? I

138
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>don't care if he signs or not. He's a multi

139
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>billionaire anyway, at some point he's going to make all

140
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the doe in the world. But is he going to

141
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>play on Sunday?

142
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll play, And honestly, think about it, what's

143
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the difference between Jamar Chase playing and Sam Hubbard playing.

144
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Sam Hubbard very early in training camp, had an injury

145
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 2>to his knee that you know, he basically couldn't do anything.

146
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he couldn't even do what Jamar Chase is doing.

147
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 2>He had to go back and square one and rehab

148
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 2>and come along and basically learn how to walk right again.

149
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>And now he's he's going to play and how many snaps?

150
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 2>And I think they're going to have to, you know,

151
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 2>monitor it with him as he comes out the football field.

152
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>How you feeling the same thing with Jamar Chase. Jamar

153
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Chase missed all the time, but he and Sam Hubbard

154
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>are doing the same thing. They're both coming to practice,

155
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>they're both supporting their teammates, answering questions, trying to pass

156
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>on some veteran knowledge and experience working out and and

157
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Sam workouts. You know, he had to ramp up. He

158
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 2>had start from square one. Like I said, Jamar has

159
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 2>been freakishly crazy in his workouts. Strength coaches tell me

160
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>that man, he's he is like ridiculously strong. I mean,

161
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 2>his lower body is crazy. And he's been running frints

162
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 2>in the in the I E. L. Bubble over there,

163
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and he's got himself in good shape. Now was a

164
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>football shape and That's what Sam's going to be working

165
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 2>through too. You have to get back into functional football

166
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 2>shape and that's gonna that's gonna take some refs out

167
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>there on the field. But you know there's the reason

168
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 2>that everybody, Oh, is jarp mare going to be able

169
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>to play? He's not hurt. You know, he's he's in

170
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>great shape and he's a freak. I mean, both he

171
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 2>and Hubbard are keep themselves in premium condition. I mean

172
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>like I finally tuned Mercedes man. I mean that's the

173
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>way that they they look at it and they approach

174
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 2>their uh, you know, their profession. So I don't have

175
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>any hesitation about Jamar Chase being out there and being

176
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>able to perform. And I know the New England Patriots

177
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>are going to be concerned when he's out there. It'll

178
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see how many times they killed coverage

179
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>over there to Jamar Chase.

180
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh, your credibility is on the line. Number one. Will

181
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>he play or not? Put it out there, Dave Lapham,

182
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Will the great Number one Jamar Chase play on Sunday?

183
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Yay or nay?

184
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I say yay. I'd be very very surprised if he does.

185
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I think he plays, and I think he plays well.

186
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a factor in the football game.

187
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the trenches. Everything happens. You're a good friend.

188
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 1>The great Paul Brown said, it's all beginning up front.

189
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Is the offensive line better or worse than last year?

190
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>You know the position? Well, we have Max Montoya coming

191
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 1>up in about forty five minutes to talk about he

192
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and Dan Hurley. Great story there about the hat and

193
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.799
<v Speaker 1>why Dan Hurley, the great Connecticut basketball coaches as a

194
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Bengals fan, have that in about forty five minutes or so.

195
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 1>But talk about the offensive line better or worse than

196
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>last year.

197
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's one of the better offensive lines that

198
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>they've had in franchise history, chance to be one of

199
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>one of the best in the National Football League. I

200
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.200
<v Speaker 2>mean it's a massive unit. Will he you know the

201
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 2>average size, I mean they get their offensive tackle position,

202
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 2>they're all six to eight and they all ways turn

203
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>the fifty pounds more. I mean, it's a massive humanity

204
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>up there. It really is crazy. And you know, you

205
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>go over with Trent Brown and I think he's going

206
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 2>to be the starter or right tackle. Would not surprise

207
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>me if Mims is deactivated this week, if he's up,

208
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be in an emergency situation. I think

209
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Trent Brown goes. So that means that four of the

210
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>five offensive linemen have been to the Pro Bowl from

211
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>an individual hon a standpoint, and all four of them

212
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 2>have won a Super Bowl. So four different guys in

213
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>the starting five of the offensive line have reached the

214
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.039
<v Speaker 2>pinnacle individually and team wise. And that that's good. I

215
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 2>mean that tells you that you know how to get

216
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 2>it done, you know what to do, you know how

217
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>to do it. And I'm looking forward to seeing them play.

218
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I think they're they're they're big, they're mobile, they're cohesive.

219
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be fun to watch.

220
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And when when Munoz was drafted, he was perceived

221
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 1>as a large offensive lineman. Now at he's like a shrimp.

222
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Talk about the defensive line, the defensive line. Tony Bender

223
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 1>is concerned about the defensive line and how poorous it

224
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 1>might be because the Patriots are going to take the

225
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>air out of the ball, They're gonna run, they're going

226
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to get the clock running. It's going to I think

227
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 1>a low scoring game. That's against the predilections of many.

228
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>But Tony Benner's concerned about the defensive line should he be.

229
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I agree with what you're saying about the Patriots

230
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to run the football. They want to play keep away,

231
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 2>they want to try to keep number nine on the sideline.

232
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to give him the football. So they're

233
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 2>going to try to control that clock, play play that

234
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 2>type of possession football. And they've got a couple of

235
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 2>very very solid running backs to do that with. I

236
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 2>mean Stevenson and Gibson. They're both you know, two hundred

237
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five tore and thirty pound type guys that

238
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, are very very physical, hard to bring to

239
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 2>the ground. And when Brissette decides to run the football,

240
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>he's he's six four to two thirty five. I mean,

241
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.919
<v Speaker 2>he's a full grown man. He's hard to get to

242
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the ground as well. I'm not saying there's going to

243
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>be a quarterback run package. When he extends and creates right,

244
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 2>he's going to try to run for you know, very

245
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>significant yardage to move the change. Yeah, I think that's

246
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be a big factor. And I think that

247
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>that's going to be key. You know, get that second

248
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>and third and long situations and let a guy named

249
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Tree Hendrickson, Willie he is freakish man.

250
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>He's a man. He's a man. Harry asked, man, he's

251
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>a man.

252
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>The dude has unbelievable first step quicknesses. Get off is incredible.

253
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's got quick twitch. He's got the quick

254
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>twitch from the running back or defensive back in that body.

255
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's like, it's like, man, what how did

256
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>he get there?

257
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>He's he's got to He's a Tourett's kind of guy.

258
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Just twitch, just twitch and all of that. Unbelieved he

259
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 1>gets from there to hear. I don't know so quickly.

260
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I know I didn't close my eyes. I know I didn't.

261
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I didn't.

262
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I got I have two big questions for you, Dave Lapping,

263
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Why are you prepared? Yes, who's a better wide receiver

264
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Isaac Curtis, o Cho Cinko or Jamar Chase. You have

265
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>to pick one. You got Isaac Curtis, o Cho Cinco

266
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>in their prime or Jamar Chase number one? Give me

267
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a quick answer.

268
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Totally different receivers. I mean, uh, you know, it's it's

269
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>what he works. Flavor ice cream do you want? They're

270
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 2>they're all tremendous, and it's what flavor ice cream you want?

271
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.559
<v Speaker 2>They've got different skill sets, different types of receivers. But

272
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I played with Isaac Curtis and and he was awe

273
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>inspiring man. He he made such an impression on me

274
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.159
<v Speaker 2>with his athleticism and and his his ability to catch

275
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the football and then just all round hell of a guy.

276
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 2>I love Isaac Curtis. Man hard hard to de throw

277
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.159
<v Speaker 2>on him.

278
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, Kenny Anderson, Boomer Sison, Joe Burrow. You

279
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 1>have one quarterback who's behind the center with his hands

280
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 1>between his legs. Which are those three?

281
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Boy? They Probably the greatest leader of all time is

282
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Boomer Sis And I think Joe Burrow and Kenny Anderson

283
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 2>are more similar in terms of their their style of playing,

284
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>their football, intelligence, and their accuracy. I remember my first

285
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.559
<v Speaker 2>my rookie with the team. I'm out there watching, uh,

286
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, Kenny Anderson throwing the football and uh, the

287
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 2>balls never hitting the ground. I'm like, man, the NFL,

288
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>this is this NFL is kind of crazy. Man. They'll

289
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>be able to throw some incompletion. Must Borrow does the

290
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>same thing.

291
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You're not giving me an answer, Burrow, number seven or

292
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>number fourteen? Which are those three?

293
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>The best? That would be number nine for borrow, oh,

294
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>number nine, number seven or number fourteen? It I'll go

295
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 2>with I'll go with fourteen.

296
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.039
