• 1:15
  Speaker 2: since the breakfast sandwich at day Lily Deli. It occurs
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: to me that quite a few of my greatest things
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: are food items. Hopefully I've never steered you wrong. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: my latest recommendation is the egg on a roll at
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the day Lily Deli in the Columbia Tusculum neighborhood of Cincinnati.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That's what it's called on the menu, but I order
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it with eggs, American cheese and getta, and it is
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: tremendous if you're not from Cincinnati. Getta is a sausage
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: patty with oats and spices, similar to scrapple in other
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: parts of the country. In any case, the day Lily
• 1:52

  Speaker 1: bye and are a half game ahead of Cincinnati at
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: two and two. Now, let's take you inside the locker room,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: beginning with Joe Burrow. The guy who looked as mobile
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: as the Statue of Liberty last week in Tennessee looked
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: well normal in Arizona. Burrow moved around in the pocket
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when needed, and even had that ten yard scramble that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: had Jamar Chase shaking.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: His I looked around and turned that TN sa T,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: what the hell is he doing? I don't know if
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: T harrit me, but I definitely he turned around and looked
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: at T like, what the hell? I mean, if he
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: feels good and he feels like he could run do it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna tell you him what to do. You know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: I already don't listen to him.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It was a hell of a performance, and Dave Lapham
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: discussed it with Burrow after the game.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Thirty six for forty six, three hundred and seventeen yards,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: three touchdowns of an interception, and you said, look, I'm fine,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: My CAF's good, and you proved it today.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I finally felt pretty close to back to normal.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: Was able to extend some plays, and if the quarterback
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: can't do that, it's hard.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: To move the ball.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: So I was happy to be able to steal some
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: first downs, extend some players get some big plays today.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: So when did you know? I mean, obviously you had
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: a good feeling going into the football game, but at
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: one point, at what point in the football game did
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you know? You know what I can do just about
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: ever anything? That three sixty looked pretty pretty impressive.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, first first touchdown.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: I was able to extend it a little bit and
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: it felt great, so I was I was good to
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: go after that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: So when you guys, you and Jamar Jamar club record
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: fifteen catches, one hundred and ninety seven yards, three touchdowns.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: When you and Jamar are seeing things the way you're
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: seeing things, can you guys be stopped?
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Well, we were able to execute really well today. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: was excited about that. We all see. We still left
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: some points out there, left some yards out there, so
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: we got to get that corrected. But we're gonna continue
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: to get better.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: How valuable is it to have a guy like Jamar
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: that can line up anywhere and do anything in your
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: offense and then other receivers doing the same thing. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: remember back in the day, we had like one or
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: two guys that could do that. Now all your receivers
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: do that. How big a deal is that for you?
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're as deep as we've ever been.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: We've you know, and Tea was out today and Andre
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: and Trenton stepped up big for us.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: That's that's what you need out of those kind of guys.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: So it was exciting to see that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: So you said early on in the week. It's a
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: must win, and you played like it was a must win.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, you pack, you backed it up. I don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: think there's anybody more competitive than you. How big is
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: this win? Big win?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: But we want to know this week.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: We're going to celebrate tonight, come back tomorrow, gotta be
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: want to know next week too.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: And then you're in the by three and three at
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the by. If you can get that W that's huge,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: isn't it.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're focused on winning this week. So we just
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: got to have a great week of practice, continue.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: To get better. Do you guys scoreboard watch? Did you
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: know that the Pittsburgh Steelers had knocked off the Baltimore Ravens.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: No? I did not, so that's obviously a plus. We
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: just got to keep doing what we're doing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you, Joe.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Thanks.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: With three offensive touchdowns, the Bengals equaled their total from
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the first four games of the season, and they also
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: got their first defensive touchdown of the year on that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: critical eleven yard pick six by Cam Taylor Britt with
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: one twenty three left in the first half. It gave
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the Bengals a lead they never relinquished, and I caught
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: up with a second year pro out of Nebraska. Damn,
• 9:53

  Speaker 1: Bengals had just been stopped on fourth and goal inside
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the line that looked like the Cardinals might be able
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to take a league to halftime. And and that was
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a momentum swing that really helps the Bengals win the game.
• 10:31

  Speaker 7: But you know we love to stand up against those
• 10:34

  Speaker 5: you know, it's just me and my dad having a
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: little fun time interacting at the game.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: So this is I think maybe the third time you've
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: had three touchdown catches in the game. How how big
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: is that when you score three times in one football game.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just defense is just not playing my way. You know.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: They they let me say they are playing my way
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: as I's just say, uh, they're giving me the looks
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: that I want. You know, we see the looks that
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: the corners are too far off, safety is not getting
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: across the field, so you know, we just take advantage
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: of the opportunities.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Finally, how many different places did you line up today?
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're you're an intelligent football player and
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: you can line up anywhere do anything. How many different
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: ways were you used today?
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: I was pretty much all over the fair number two
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: and number three backveil.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: One thing I didn't do today with.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Ketch a handoff out the backfield, So I mean this
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: is gonna come.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Congratulations man, unbelievable performance. You're a stud, brother.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Other studs included Jermaine Pratt with a team high ten tackles,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: an interception, and that key fourth down stop in the
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: third quarter. Trey Hendrickson had two and a half sacks
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: in a forced fumble, and how about Trenton Irwin. Eight
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: catches for sixty yards, four punt returns for sixty eight
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: more and some great blocking on the perimeter on screen
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: passes to Chase and Tyler Boyd. Burrow and Chase are
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: going to get the headlines, but Zach Taylor stressed that
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it was a total team win.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: We got really good players and they're gonna get all
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: the attention because they're a great job and they make
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: the plays that come to them, but the guys around
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: them also support them as well as any group could,
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: you know. And the times that they tried to take
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: away Jamar, those other guys are stepping up. And offensive
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: line did a tremendous job working different protections keeping.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The pressure off of him today.
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: And so really proud of of the offense, really probably
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: this whole team coming out with a victory.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Trent Irwin, do you speak of a guy he's ten
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: ten targets, eight catches, sixty yards, a couple of punter
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: three punt returns that he had. We're outstanding, you know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: dictating field position. He blocked on those receiver screens, you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: so effectively. He's a pros pro, isn't he? Yeah?
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: You can trust him to do any job, and he
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: knows all the positions on offense. You trust him to
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: plug him in there and make the players that come
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: to him. He does a great job with his technique.
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: He gets every ounce of potential he's got in that body.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: And we're lucky to have him.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: So you get a quarterback Dobbs who who didn't head
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: and thrown an interception all season long, and it doesn't
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: work out on fourth down at the goal line and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: you get a pick six his first interception he throws
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: all year, Cam Taylor Britt takes him back to the house.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: How big was that?
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: That was a big momentum swing right there. You know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: they got to stop hoping for good field position coming back.
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: Cam's got great hands. They came in handy right there.
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: So that was a big play that we needed right
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: before the half.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Did you know at any point during the course of
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the football game that Pittsburgh had beaten Baltimore? Did you
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: know what that what that outcome?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: What?
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: I didn't know that one? That doesn't matter to us
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: right now. You know again, we just were so early
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: in the season. Just take care of what we can
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: take care of, and just our history in this league
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: tells us if you take care of what you take
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: care of at the end of the day, the things
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: that you want, we'll be right there in front of you.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Jermaine Pratt had the interception. He had like ten total tackles.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: A couple of tackles for loss. I mean he was
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: extraordinary today as well.
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Jermaine stepped up in a big way. Such a
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: smart player. Really proud of him, Really proud of all
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: those guys that stepped up on defense. Put a lot
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: of pressure on their quarterback, created the turnovers, had sacks,
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: had some big third down and fourth down stops, and
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: so again they played great, great defensive football today for us.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: So when you went on that first drive and executed,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you know, and got the third down touchdown on the
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: first third down of the game, get a red zone
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: touchdown out of it, did you think this looks like
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: things might be pretty good today. Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: I mean that's how it was last week.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: I think our first start down was the same situation,
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: and so it's just good to continue to improve. There
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: I show and that was a good start. Defense got
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: a three and out, offense went down and scored seven,
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: and that's the start we were looking for today.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: So coach on to Seattle. Seattle comes to Cincinnati. What's
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: your first thought when Seattle comes to mind?
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: I have no idea.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I haven't started there in four years.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: Shane Waldron is one of my best friends in this profession.
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: The offensive coordinator. But I don't know anything about their
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: defense right now, so we'll find that out tonight tomorrow.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I certainly you certainly did study and get a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: lot of knowledge on what kind of defensive presence the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals had, because you guys, you guys picked them
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: apart pretty well. It was. It was fun to watch
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: coach congratulates on a big win. Appreciate it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Seeattle had to buy this weekend. We'll come to town
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: next Sunday with a three and one record after dropping
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: their opener at home to the Rams, the Seahawks have
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: won three straight over the Lions, Panthers, and Giants, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: in that New York game, the Seahawks set a team
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: record with eleven sacks.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Yikes. Now time for the radio guys recap lat Joe
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Burrow called it a must win in the middle of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the week. When Joe has his heart set on something,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he usually makes sure that it happens. And he looked
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow again.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Today he did.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had the look in the in the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: hotel this morning. I saw him at pregame meal and
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: he had that like I'm not going to be denied
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: to look kind of you know that Joe has when
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: he's like lasered in and there was no distracting him.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: He wasn't talking to anybody, he wasn't socialize. He was
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: like bo laser focused. And he ended up going out
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: there and stepping up and playing really good football and
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: that that calf, you know.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: He said he.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Pressed it a couple of times early on, felt good,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: and he just kept making as many plays as he could.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: He wasn't about to be denied.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It's funny you talked about that with a pregame meal
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: because we were down for breakfast together early in the morning.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Joe was down there earlier than usual. ESPN is running
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: an endless loop of Burrows bad plays this year, you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: graphics about how he struggled statistically. It's got to be
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: strange when you know you're sitting in a room with
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: your friends and teammates and every TV screen in the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: room is showing how badly you've struggled. It is.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can't imagine what it's like to me
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: to live in the life that Joe Burrow lives. As
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: we got on the first buses to come over to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the stadium, there's like two families of like eight kids
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: that were all within three years of each other. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: think that all were tow heads, all had on Joe
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Burrow jerseys. The parents were there. I mean, is I'm
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: not saying that he's you know, not not Kelsey and
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: his girlfriend yet Taylor Swift. But I mean, I don't.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you live with that kind of fame.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: It's got to be a it's got to be a
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: very challenging life for sure.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Well, he was terrific in the game, three hundred and
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: seventeen passing yards, three touchdowns, an interception when his wide
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: receiver slipped, a passer rating of one eight. If he
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: can move like he moved today, the Bengals offense is
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: going to be.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: Fine, no question.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, I said, at what point in the game,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: did you feel like, you know, after you did what
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: you did physically that that you know it was? He's
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I said, was it that three sixty? He goes, yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: that was I felt pretty good after that. And there
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: there a few times he said, when I climbed the
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: pocket and had to side step for two people, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't feel any effects from that. So I mean
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I think he was, uh, he was top shelf. I mean,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that's that's what they had.
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: In this league.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: You have to have that. I mean, that's that's the
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: only way to survive in this league.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: As Jamar Chase put it last week, he's always bleeping
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: open franchise record fifteen catches for a single game.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: The record had lasted twenty five years by Carl Pickens.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: At thirteen catches just under two hundred yards. It would
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: have been his third two hundred yard game and three
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: touchdowns to tie a single game record there.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: And I said, how many different places did you line
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: up and how many different places were you utilized today?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: He started rattling on like about a litany list of.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: How he was used.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: He goes, the only thing, you know, I didn't get
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a handoff at the running back position. We're going to
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: work on that kind of put that in the repert
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: to Rberant. I mean, the thing is that he's in
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: a situation where it's not just it's all the receivers,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: all of them. I mean, they can all line up
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: multiple places and do multiple things, and they're always ready
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: to play. I mean they're so well coached and Trent
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Irwin pros pro stepped up to do and showed you
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: know what he's all about. He was ready to roll.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: So the play of the day late in the first half,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: after Bengals get stopped on fourth and goal from the one,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: they turn right around and get a pick six from
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Cam Taylor Britt that gives them the halftime lead and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: completely swung the momentum in this game.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: No doubt. I mean Zach. I was talking to Zach
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: about that in the post game and he said, that was,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: you know, a huge momentum scenario there. He said, you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: we were thinking we were going to get a good
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: field position, you know, stuffing back there and said when
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: when when that happened? That was you know, you get
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: a freebe like that, You get a non offensive, nonscript
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: score like that after being stopped on fourth in the
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: goal line situation. Man, you go from the lowest loads
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to the highest to high and it's it's it's emotional recharge.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: We often talk about complimentary football. This game a bit
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: amized it. Good hunt returns by Trenton Irwin. Money Mack
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: makes all of his field goals, defense comes up with
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: a couple of takeaways in several sacks, and obviously Burrow
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and Chase I respectacing.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, it's the scenario we're
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: just talking about. The offense stumbles and gets no points
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: in the low red zone, and then the defense comes
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: right back and scores on you know, literally the next play.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I mean that that's compromary football at its highest compliments, honestly,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: And when stuff like that happened, you think this might
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: be our day. We may be in a situation where
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: here if we can avoid mistakes. And I was talking
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: to Zach about how neither team offense or defense was
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: penalized well into the third quarter. I mean three penalties called,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: all of them on special teams, and it was the
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: only turnover at that point was the was to pick six.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: It was a very well played, you know, football game
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: with a lot of football intelligence. He said, that's what
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: they're about, he said, that's the identity they want to have,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: so hopefully they build on it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: It wasn't perfect. They're still struggling to pick up some picks,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: twist and stunts on the offensive line, and I still
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: don't think they run it as well as they would
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: like to. But when you can go on the road
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: and win by fourteen, doesn't happen that often.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: In the NFL team it doesn't.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: And this opponent, you know, the record sometimes doesn't really indicate,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: you know, the brand of football. And they were playing
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: and I think they've already played some pretty turn your
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: football teams and been in the game with him, beat
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: their wins against the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, that's a
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: quality football team. And like we always say, the National
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Football League is definitely seventeen one week seasons. There's no
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: two ways about it. And you have to you'd take
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: a win from Clark, mentalize, move on, accept the defeat
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: from Clark, mentalized, move on, and see what happens.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: So the next one week's season is a home game
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: against Seattle. If they can win it, get to five
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: hundred going into the buy, you talk about how much
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: better the team would feel about itself, the city would
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: feel about the team. I mean, the entire mood changes
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: if they can win one more game.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I was stunned how many guys didn't know
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh beat Baltimore. When I said it to Trent
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Hervey goes, this is the first I'm hearing it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: There were multiple guys in that situation, and Zach was like,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't really even check into it through
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: the game starters, and it has no impact on what
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I have to do in this football game. So, I mean,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: they are definitely focused on their tasks. There's no question
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: about that. They're right back in the thick of it now, Dan,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, shoot, if they can get it done against
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Seattle going to the buy three and three, there's gonna
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: be no worse in the game out.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Isn't it nice when you're the bearer of good news?
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: It really is?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: It really is, because they were like, really, the looks
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: on the faces were priceless.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be easy to get radio show guests
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: this week. We like that too.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: That's a fact. I'm telling you. Victory Monday. Who Victory

• 27:06
  Speaker 2: fun Fact segment, where you get to know the person
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: under the pads. Time for some fun facts with Orlando
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Brown Junior, the son of a great NFL offensive lineman
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that everybody called Zeu, says in the King of the Gods, Orlando,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: one of the best TV feature stories I have ever
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: seen was the NFL film story about you and your dad.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: In it, Bill Belichick talked about his love for your father,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: and there was great footage of your dad just destroying
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: people in the NFL. His playing career ended when you
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: were nine. What if anything do you remember about it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: I remember a lot, man, you know, I would say
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: around seven years old is when I kind of maybe
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: even a little bit before that, maybe like right around
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: six years old. I like, I feel like that's when
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: I really start being able to see the game, understand it,
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: really pay attention to him, the intricacies of situations, short yard,
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: it's two minutes, the flow of a game, starting to
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: understand concepts a little bit, you know, run this specifically
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: to the run game.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: And I mean it was so much to learn from him,
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: Just as you said, man, he played so long. He
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: also played with the great Jonathan Ogden. Uh So, Man,
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: it was just it was so much knowledge and so
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: much just great fundamentals for me to see at such
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: a young age. I times that, man, Honestly, I still
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: you know, look back at those moments man and reminisce,
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: you know, thinking about, you know, how great they were,
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: but also how hard they worked. You know, man, they
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: were they were. My dad was someone that really really
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: loved the game. And you know, he was a defensive
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: tackle in college and then his last year of college
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: they moved him to offensive tackle and he was in
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: a speed option wing T system, so he didn't really
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: have a lot of familiarity with the pro style offense
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: and man, so he really really really worked hard to
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: get those fundamentals down, and you know, I was able
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: to basically be at the forefront and see all of
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: it first hand.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: There was a terrible accident in his playing career. We're
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: an official through his flag and it hit your dad
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: in the eye, And for people that don't know, there
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: are weights inside a flag so that they don't just
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: flutter away. It cost him three years of his career.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: He was temporarily blind in one of his eyes. How
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: did that affect him? And your entire family.
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it definitely had a huge effect on us.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: You know, my parents surely divorced after the incident. You know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: we pretty much He was you know, doing a lot
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: of rehab, having to go through the lawsuit of New
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: York City, trying to work out and get back in
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: the NFL, bouncing back and forth between Baltimore and Miami.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: He was working at I think it was IMG Academy
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: at the time, and you know, he was trying to
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: make sure he stayed in play, in shape while also
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: going through this lawsuit. Man, with the NFL. It took
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: somewhat of a big toll on my family, you know.
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: But ultimately, man, you know, he was able to come
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: back and finished career how he wanted to.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: When you were young, he didn't want you to play football.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: Why not?
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, he has such a path. You know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: he was born in Washington, d C. Man born and
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: raised in Washington, D C. In the seventies and eighties,
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: and you know, we all know, man, that was you know,
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: a very hard time for a lot of you know,
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: young black men during that time in that city. And
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: you know, he didn't he felt like he had very
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: few opportunities, and so you know, it was a lot
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: for him to understand. My my grandmother was a janitor
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: pretty much most of her life. My grandfather drove taxis,
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: so you know, it was he had a lot of
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: unfamiliarity with the path that he took, and so his
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: path was so hard and so difficult.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: I feel like for a long time, you know, he
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: kind of held onto that and really didn't want me
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: or my siblings to kind of go through that type
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: of mental pain or mental endurance or whatever it was.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: Man. But you know, for for everything that.
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: He did keeping me out of ball as long as
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: he did, I mean, I think it was the best
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: thing that ever happened to me.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: We're visiting with Orlando Brown Junior. I have a son,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and watching him succeed in sports, it's one of the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: great joys of parenthood. But when he struggled, that can
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: be very hard as a parent. And when your dad
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: first watched you play, it was hard for him when
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: you didn't dominate.
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, it was very hard for him.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: There was numerous times, especially in my first few games, Man,
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: he's leaving me, you know, he's dropping me off of
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: the game and I'm expecting to ride home with him,
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: and he's gone, and you know, ultimately, man, he just
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: he wanted wanted to see me play physical. He wanted
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: to see me play hard. You know, I was I
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: was obviously new to the sports, so I didn't really
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: comprehend that all in all, but you know, he wanted
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: me to see he wanted to see me finish blocks,
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: and so man, once I started finishing blocks, man playing
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: with that emotion, that passion, you know, he was very,
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: very happy and proud to proud to be there and
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: support me.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Once you started playing, you were all in. I heard
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: you say in an interview that you used to go
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: to bookstores and just spend weekends looking at NFL strategy books,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: looking at NFL rules. I mean, you were trying to
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: learn the game, unlike most of your young peers.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: I'm guessing because he wouldn't let me play.
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: Fortunately, he let me watch it and read it, so
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: you know, that was you could say, my vice at
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: a young age, I would go to Barnes and Nobles
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: with my brothers and my uncle Man and Saturdays Fridays
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: after school we'd be there watching or you know, sometimes
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: watching the NFL network. Other times, Man, I'd be reading
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: books on you know, some of the great players to
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: play the game, like Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, their stories,
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: Jerry Rice's story, you know, even dating back to some
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: of the older guys. Man like a friend Tarkenton, Uh,
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: you know his story, man, guys like a guy, so many,
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: so many, like so many great players in this league.
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: But I had to spend a lot of time studying
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: and understanding the game, and studying the offensive line position,
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: studying everything to take everything it takes mentally physically to
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: be a pro. And at an early age. Man, I mean,
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: I think that was something that had a really it
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: still does have a really big impact on who I
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: am today as a pro.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: So when it came time to go to college, you
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: picked Oklahoma. You had gone to high school in the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Washington area, then in jets to Atlanta. What were your
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: initial thoughts on Norman, Oklahoma.
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: You know, I've got a tricky story on that. You know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: I was originally on my way to Tennessee University of Tennessee.
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: I had committed there when I was a junior in
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: high school. And at the time, man, they didn't check
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: my test scores and my grades my transcripts, and so Man,
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: at the time of heading into that last semester of
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: my senior year, Man, I had a one point seven GPA.
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: I had a thirteen on the ACT and I Christmas
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: treat the.
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: Test and I lost my scholarship to University of Tennessee.
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: And so basically what happened was, you know, we I
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: go up there for my official visit. Bus Jones lets
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: me know, hey, you know we're not gonna be able
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: to give you a scholarship. Long story short, they had
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: thirty three commits. They only had thirty one scholarships. That's
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: one of the guys that got pulled, which is understandable
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: based off the circumstances. And I got back to Georgia,
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: talked to my high school coach. He asked me where
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: I wanted to go. I had never visited Oklahoma. The
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: coaches had never visited me. And I just looked him
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: his eyes. I said, Coach Man, I think University of
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: Oklahoma was where God wants me to be. And sure enough, Man,
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: we got on the phone with Coach Stoops. We called
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: starting at his assistant at the office, Miss Julie, and
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: from there we got on the phone with coach Stoops
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: and coach Hipel coach Beatabo, and they offered me a
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: scholarship since the n l I. I signed it and
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: took my official visit in April. After I signed, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: I was a Leaden Row Lead. I enrolled July twenty fourth,
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: twenty fourteen on campus.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: It certainly worked out well. The Sooners finished in the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: top five all three seasons that you played for them.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: You helped Baker Mayfield with the Heisman Trophy or final season.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: It appears that you and Baker were really tight.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: It's an interesting story.
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: It's kind of a funny story because so we came
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: in together my class coming in Oklahoma. It was me,
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: Baker Mayfield, Mark Andrews, Somaj p Ryan Davante, Bond, some
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: other names as well, some other names of guys that
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: still got a great relationship with. But we all kind
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: of came in together and spent a lot of time
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: on scout team red Shirt in that year, and so
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: we would whip up on a defense man and I
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: got to know Baker for you know, just because of
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: his work ethic. You know, I was a guy who
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: worked really hard. I'd get in there at five thirty
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: in the morning and be working all my sets with
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: our strength coach, and he'd already be fully in strenched
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: in sweat, throwing footballs and trash cans at five am. So, man,
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: we just kind of grew a natural bond from there.
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: And then obviously it's college, so took a few beers
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: with him here and there we got closer, and then
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: our moms met each other, and our moms got close.
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: It's crazy, man, So you know that's my guy.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Football fans a little bit north of here are still
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit salty from Baker planting the flag in
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field after a victory at Ohio State.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Were you partly responsible for that because of a pregame speech.
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I definitely take coole responsibility.
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: Man, it's the first time I might have openly come
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: out about this, But I had no idea that this
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: is something Ohio State does, win or lost. And so
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: Lincoln Riley at the time, our head coach, me and
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: Baker to speak to the team, and he's during separate times.
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: So I developed a whole power point, and the start
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: of my PowerPoint was the Ohio State team singing on
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: our field in twenty sixteen, and so you know, I
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: just I remember showing that clip, you know, showing our
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: bad plays looking up in the crowd, teammates, coaches, everyone's
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: face is red, angry, frowned up, and you know I
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: just mentioned. You know, look, man, when we win in
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: the Horseshoe this year, we're gonna set it on fire.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: And so and so. I.
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: You know, it's something we do every time we play
• 36:34
  Speaker 10: University of Texas. Man, we plant the flag in the
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: middle of a field. That's our thing. It's funny because
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: the Horseshoe is turf, so the flag doesn't stick there.
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: But I'll take a little bit of responsibility for that.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: We're chatting with Orlando Brown. Junior Sprinting and lifting weights
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: are not your forte. So the NFL scouting combine did
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: not go particularly well, and instead of being a first
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: round draft pick, you wound up being a third round
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: draft pick. How did that affect you?
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: You know, Man, still to this day, it gives me
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: a really big chip on my shoulder. You know, I
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: ended up in an amazing situation though. Man, I got
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: drafted to my hometown team, franchise that I grew up
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: in the building, literally on the daily. Man, my entire life,
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: it seemed like, and it was so many familiar faces.
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: I didn't have to learn a new city. I didn't
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: have to learn shortcuts to work when the snow or traffic,
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: all of those little things. And you know, I wasn't
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: It wasn't new to the city. So you know, a
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: lot of things that other rookies had to go through.
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: I didn't necessarily have to deal with that. But man,
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: I mean I ended up in a tremendous situation, man
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: with a great organization, And you know, man, I don't
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: I definitely don't regret you know, where I got drafted,
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: but ultimately I do wish I was a first round pick.
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: But everything happens for a reason, you know. I think
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: I ended up at the right spot in the right time.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: In your second year in the NFL, you made the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. You've made it every year since. Some guys
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: don't like to talk about personal goals, but you don't
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: shy away from that. What are some of the things
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: that you are still determined to accomplish?
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: Man, First and foremost, Man, I want to bring a
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: Super Bowl to the city. That's the first thing on
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: my mind and my heart that you know, it is
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: really important to me. Secondly, man, obviously being the best
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: player in the world at my position, you know, on
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: All Pro left tackle, first team All Pro left tackle,
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: and you know, continuing to make those Pro Bowls, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: you know, man, I ultimately, you know, I want to
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: be you know, a great, great leader in the community
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: here in Cincinnati as well.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Time for some wild card topics now with Orlando Brown junior,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: you carry a lucky foxtail everywhere you go. Why on
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: God's Green Earth do you carry a lucky foxtail?
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: Well, man, it was just something I kind of started
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: in college my my wrestler freshman year, and I feel
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: like good things been happening to me since.
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: So I remember I bought the first one and I
• 38:50
  Speaker 10: kind of won the job, and my freshman year I
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: was like, I'm gonna go buy a few more.
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: So I bought a.
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: Few more, and I don't know, man, it's just become
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: a part of my swag and who I am. I
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: don't know, is is this part of me?
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: How many do you have?
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: I got like twelve? The YEP tweet is outen.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: A as you put it, You're trying to help Cincinnati
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl, but you were part of a
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl team last year with Kansas City. What are
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: some of your fondest memories of the week and then
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: the game itself of the week?
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: Man, we as an old line.
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: I remember the guys mentioned that Bert Krishner was coming
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: to town, and you know the machine. He's hilarious, and
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: so you know, I'm like, man, I wonder if this
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: guy will give us backstage passes. So I d m
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: him and like a man fan, and he got us
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: backstage passes, and so, man, I remember we we went
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: and watched the show at the Arizona State Basketball Stadium
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: and he led us backstage. Man, we chopped it up
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: with him a little bit. That was so cool. And
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: then during the game, you know, it's it's it's one
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: of the most exciting games of your life, you know,
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: playing in the Super Bowl, because it's something you dream of.
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: Unfortunately for me, I didn't lose my first one. But man,
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: it was such a such a crazy experience. I just
• 40:03
  Speaker 10: I remember Jerck McKinnon sliding uh in that in that
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: situation when not much time left and coming back in
• 40:09
