• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the body's internal clock. About a week ago, I woke
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night and wondered, what
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: time is it. It feels like it's about three point fifteen.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So I looked at a clock next to the bed,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and sure enough, it was three point fifteen. I went
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: back to sleep, woke up again and thought, now it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: feels like it's four thirty. So I looked at the clock,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and this time I was about a minute or two off.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: An hour later, same thing, felt like five point forty two.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Looked at the clock and it might have been five
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: forty three. I thought I had strange magical powers until
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I mentioned this to a couple of friends and they
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: said they do the exact same thing, especially if they
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have an early morning flight. So I guess my internal
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: clock is not unique, but I still find it to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: be kind of cool. Now let's get to Saturday's preseason finale.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Neither team played at starters in a game that the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Colts won forty one to fourteen. I'm not going to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: give it the full highlights treatment this week, but we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: will listen back to a few noteworthy plays. The Bengals
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback for most of the game was the number three
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: guy on the depth chart, Desmond Ritter. He's had a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: solid camp and a bid to be Cincinnati's practice squad quarterback.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Since the team is likely to only have Joe Burrow
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and Jake Browning on the active roster. Unfortunately, it was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: not a good afternoon for one of the winningest quarterbacks
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in college football history. Second and five, Ritter stumbles while
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: going back to passes throw intercepted. The Colts are running
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it back at the twenty fifteen ten cut back to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the five and a touchdown for safety Daniel Scott's. The
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: former UC star finished eight for twenty for seventy five
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: yards with no touchdown passes and that pick six. But
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Zach Taylor says Ritter's overall body of work at training
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: camp has been good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I was pleased with how he came in, you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a day before training camp picked up. The offense, did
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a great job trying to affect his teammates, winning into
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the quarterback room. Appreciate all that about him, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I know today you'd like it to be a little
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: bit cleaner in some areas, but appreciate his work that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they appreciate his attitude, Appreciate how he fit in as
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a Cincinnati Bengal. And again we'll continue to move on
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: with him and everybody else.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: While it wasn't a good day for Daz, it could
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: not have gone much better for running back Kendall Milton,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: who spent last season on the Bengals practice squad. Bengals
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have it second down and five in Colts territory at
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the forty six ridder waiting for a shotgun snap. Desmond
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Catches sticks it in the belly of Milton.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: He's off to the races, eats a safety toward the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: far sideline to the tail the five, and he gets
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: dragged out of bounds near the five by Rodney Thomas.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: A big run for Kendall Milton.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what offensive line did an unbelievable job
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: right there oft finishing blocks. And the guy who finished
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: his block the best was Caleb atm and he did
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: a job at the left tackle position, and Milton abused
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the hole that he formed for him and created off
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: to the races. He went just not fast enough to
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: take it to the house.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: That was a forty one yard run, and Milton finished
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: with seventy two yards on eight carries. He also had
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a thirteen yard run wiped out by a penalty. The
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: former Georgia Bulldog, who was the Orange Bowl MVP a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: few years ago, made a strong case to be the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: fourth running back, which will probably be a practice squad position.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Milton after the game. Kendall eight carries,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: seventy two yards, including a forty one yard run. How
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: did you feel about your performance and how important was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it for you to put a good game on tape.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: You know, I felt pretty good about my performance, you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: being able to look at the iPads on the sideline,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: you know, I was able to see that there was
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: still some you know, more yards out there. Given I
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: would hit all the right holes every play, I probably
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: would have been over one hundred. But you know, all
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: the credit for that really goes towards a line because
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: the running back nose out of line can't get too
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: much done. But you know, especially missing the first game,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: I knew that on the back end, you know, I
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: had to, you know, do something. So I've just been
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: trying to take as many mental reps as possible during camp,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: just making sure that when I have the opportunity that
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm prepared and you know I'm ready to
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: where it. There's no type of second thoughts or anything
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: like that. So you know, I feel like the preparation
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: kind of just led to this moment.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I think you caught a lot of people's eyes last week.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You didn't have that many carries, but when you did
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: carry it, your physical running style really stood out. Is
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that's something you pride yourself on.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: It definitely is. I like to say, I don't like
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: the first man to be the tackler, So you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: I try to approach every run just you know, as
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: long as we you know, move the chains, make a
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: positive game, that's all that matters.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Describe the forty one yard run and almost taking it
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to the house.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, I thought I was gone. I saw the end zone.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: I just felt a hand on my back, you know.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: But like I said, without the line, without the receivers
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: doing the extra blocking downfield, you know, that's what really
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: makes those big runs, those open holes, you know what
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I mean. So all their credit for that gift to
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: the five upfront.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Describe what this camp has been like for you in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a deep and talented room. Chase Brown has obviously emerged
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: as a great back, so my JP run's got a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: proven track record. Taj Brooks is a talented rookie. What's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the competition been like for you?
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: You know, when you have guys like Chase who you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: played a full starting season. You have guys like somej
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: that has years and years in the league under their belt.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: You just have to be a sponge in that room
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: and just take as many, you know, as many tricks
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: and as many tools that you can put in your
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: in your toolbox.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: You just have to apply it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: And I feel like, you know, spending the time with them,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: they taught me a lot. They taught me a lot
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: of different things about the game, you know, especially mentally,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: because that's what a lot of the game is. So
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: it's been a you know, it's been a really good camp.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: There's definitely been moments, you know, where you wish you
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: had more, you wish you know, you wish this, you
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: wish that. But you know, at the end of the day,
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: God's gonna push you in the position when it's when
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: time's right. So that's what I try to live by.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the mix will be between the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: fifty three three man roster in the practice squad, but
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: they're certainly going to be at least four running backs
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: between the practice squad and the roster. How do you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: feel about the case that you've made to remain part
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of the team.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: You know, I feel good about about my performance. But
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: you know, at the end of the day, all you
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: could do is control. You would control, So you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: I'm leaving in God's hands. You know, I put the
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: work in. I just let the rest play this off out.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Excellent final game today. Congratulations, thank you, thank you. Getting
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: back to that forty one yard run, it gave the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Bengals first and goal at the five and set up
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: their first touchdown. Ridder is going to be under center.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they try a quarterback sneak On fourth
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and less than a yard, Ridder follows Matt Lee straight ahead. Yeah,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and there's the signal. It's a touchdown for Desmond Ridder
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: as he scores on the quarterback sneak behind his center
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Matt Lee. At that point, it was a close game,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: as the Bengals trailed ten to seven, and that was
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: still the score with less than two minutes to go
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in the half. But the Colts controlled the rest of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the game, and this play in the fourth quarter basically
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: sums up how things went for Cincinnati. Shotgun snap on
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: third and fifteen. Here comes the rush. Bean begins scrambling.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Right, his pass tipped on the air, intercepted Howard Cross
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: about grabbing the ricochet after was tipped up in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: air by Isaiah Thomas and the Bengals get a takeaway.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: They'll have the ball at the twenty seven of Indianapolis.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Howard Cross did he hold onto the football? He lost
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: the ball? I guess at the end, but he was
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: already downs.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He or do the Colts recover his fumble after the interception?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The offense is still on the.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Field, they're staying around there, and the officials are green,
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: the officials saying first and ten for Indy. So he
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: did not. He lost the football before his knee hit
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: the ground.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So an interception and a fumble on the same play.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: The Colts had the ball for six minutes and eight
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: seconds before that play, got a fresh set of downs
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: after recovering the fumble, and kept the ball for another
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: four minutes in fifteen seconds. When the Bengals finally got
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the ball back with about six minutes left in the game,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: fourth string quarterback Peyton Thorn led them on a thirteen
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: play sixty nine yard touchdown drive or just In Grandy
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: out to the left, Moore and Owen's out to the right,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: shotgun snap back to Thorn hands it off Conley into
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the end zone for a Bengals touchdown with thirteen seconds
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to go. Rookie Quali Conley with the touchdown run that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: made the final score forty one fourteen in favor of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the Colts. Here's Zach Taylor with an overview of training
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: camp and the preseason.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I thought we got all the work done that we
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: need to get done. I really feel good. I like
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: where we're at from a health standpoint. I like where
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: we're at from an install standpoint, our key guys understanding
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: what we're trying to get, what our ten is. And
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: so I feel really good as a football team where
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: we're at right now. And so now we'll get a
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: chance next week with a bonus week to get ahead,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: start on Cleveland, and then next week really get after it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: The Bengals have until Tuesday at four o'clock to cut
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the roster down to fifty three players. The guys that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: don't make it can be claimed by other teams. Then
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the following day, the Bengals can name a sixteen man
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: practice squad. Coach Taylor says the tape from that final
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: preseason game can impact decisions.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, today's meaningful, you know, And so again we'll sess
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the tape, we'll have final conversations tomorrow Monday on where
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: we want to go. And there's probably been a lot
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of moments in my career where a guy has made
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: a solidifying impression on the final preseason game or maybe
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: your decisions going the other way. So again, we'll just
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: watch it all, evaluate it and see if any of
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that happened for us.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: A year ago, Muma johng Meta made the team as
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent after a stellar preseason. Now he's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: looking to stay on the roster or at least the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: practice squad and led the team with eleven tackles against Indianapolis.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Score obviously was not what you guys were hoping for,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: But you had eleven tackles. How did you feel about
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: your performance and how important did you feel the game
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was for you today?
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of guys out there
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: find for a roster spot, myself included, and for me,
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: it was just about going out there competing with the guys,
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: having you know, competing with great technique, great eyes, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: executing my job at a high level. You know, the
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: satelline is deceiving. I know I had eleven tackles, but
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: I think there's a lot that I have to grow
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: from and kind of lost my conditioning towards the end,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: and there I was exhausted. So I just got to
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: work on that. But you know, felt like I got
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: better today as a player and as a leader, and
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: that's that's all you can ask for.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: There was a stretch where they had a thirteen play drive.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: You guys had an interception and unfortunately fumbled it back
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and then they had another time consuming drive. Is that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: when it was really taxing physically.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Now, I wasn't.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Disbelieved when I saw that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: I've never seen that my life. I mean, that was
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: that was just that's just the game. And you just
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: you know, you know, it's one of those like you
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: pray for reps and then boom, guys like now you
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: see me now you don't so uh when it rains
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: a poor So it was a lot of rap f
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: for it was good. It was really fun out there
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: and just you know, anytime you'll get an opportunity to
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: play in the uniform, in the for the shield, you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: it's a great It's a great day.

  Speaker 1: the official healthcare provider of the Bengals. Now time for
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the radio guys recap, no sugarcoating it. Final score is
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: disappointing forty one fourteen. The starters didn't play. I'm not
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: going to overreact, but it's one of those things where
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the players always talk about you are what you put
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on tape, and unfortunately the second and third string guys
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: did not put very much good tape out there for
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: others to see.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: I think they're very disappointed, Dan, I know I would
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: be if I'm a rookie player and getting an opportunity
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: in that third preseason game to show my best, to
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: show what I got going against whoever the Colts put
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: out there. It's my opportunity to show that I belong
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: in the National Football League and I can be a
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: player in the National Football League, and you should want
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: to work with me and develop me into a player
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: in the National Football League. You know, my grass going up.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: I'm getting better every week. You know, I haven't plateaued
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: or I'm not falling off a cliff like you don't
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: want to have happened. And for a lot of those
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: young guys, the performance they put on tape didn't equate
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: to that. I mean, I just did not play very well.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I don't think it was for lack of effort or
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: you know, lack of want to. I think they probably
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: maybe want to do a little bit more than they
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: actually performed. And that's an obvious statement. I mean, they
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: just they weren't where they were supposed to be when
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: they were supposed to be. They're doing what they're supposed
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: to do. And when you know that happens in the
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: National Football League, you can be taking advantage of a
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: big time In some instance, his guys were.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I was hoping that Desmond Ritter would have a great
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: game lock up his status as the number three quarterback
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: on this roster. I get the sense that they're really
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: happy with what he's done in training camp. I don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: think eight for twenty for seventy five yards and a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: pick six is really going to count that much against them,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But it would have been nice for him to go
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: out there getting to play quite a bit and really perform. Well.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he could have slammed the door on
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: any question about it, and so now you know, maybe
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: the door's like, really, do you think? I'm with you?
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: I think he should be a Cincinnati Bengals With the
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Cincinnati Bengals, I think that it's something that he would
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: he has probably aspired to be for a while. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: think if there's a team in the National Football League
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: that he would want to be a part of, Cincinnati
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: would be right up there. In terms of being able
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: to play in front of people that he knows, family, friends,
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: you know, that's always big, particularly to a young player.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: To be able to have that kind of support system,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: I think is a big factor. I think he comes
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: from a good family. I know he's a great kid.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I know you know a lot about him, and I
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: know you're extremely high on him as a person. So
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: that's good enough for me. If somebody, if Dan Horde
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: says somebody is the real deal and legit, I'm all in,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I'm right with you. So yeah, hopefully he has done
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: enough to make the football team because I think that
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: guys respect him. I think he's earned and generated some
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: respect already, and it's impossible not to like the guy.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, all he does is go out and do
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: what he's supposed to do, when he's supposed to do it,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: how he's supposed to do it. He's one of those
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: great guys that from a personality standpoint and the way
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: he carries himself, it would be a phenomenal teammate.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I think if anybody really helped himself in the game today,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it would be running back Kendall Milton. I think that
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Kendall Milton and Gary Brightwell were probably running neck and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: neck to be the number four running back on the roster.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Gary gives you a little more kick return, so that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: helps him a little more in the special teams area.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But Kendall Milton looked terrific running the ball.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: He did Dan. I mean, it looks like the best
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: running back on the field and it's including everybody. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: I think he also does a good job as a receiver.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Runs good routes, can make violent cuts, get separation, cast
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: the football, secure it, put it away, get yards after catch,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: sticks his nose in there and blitz pick up. Not
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: the least a bit bashful of shy about that kind
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: of contact. So this guy, I mean, I think he's
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: a weapon. He's a tool short yard his goal line.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: That's a guy that has a nose for getting north
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: and south and finding where he needs to get to.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: I could see him having a role in that alone.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Not to say the others can't and the others won't,
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: but I think I think Milton makes the football team.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I agree with you.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Dejon Anthony exited with what appeared to be a sore hamstring.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: He was holding the back of his right leg when
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: he walked toward the locker room. Safety depth was already
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: a bit of an issue now Gino Stone started practicing
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: again this week, so that's good. I think he'll be
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: fine for the Cleveland game. But if Dejon Anthony is out,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: then PJ. Jewles probably steps into one of the spots.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Is one of the primary backup safeties right along with
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Tyson Anderson.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you. I think those two guys
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: are I think you've hit right on two guys that
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: may in the early stages of the season, particularly in
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: the opener, they have a bigger role than they thought
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: they might have, you know, and so it's up to
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: everybody involved to get them ready themselves most importantly, and coaches,
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: head coach, position, coach, organizationally, everybody you know, get get
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: behind him and you know, kind of boy, you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: lift him up a little bit so he feels like,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: you know, people trust him, respect him, think he can
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: do a job, and kind of ease his mind where
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: he can put forth the type of forms you're going
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: to need in that opener. So it's going to be
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: interesting to see, you know, in week one, how offenses
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: how quickly they adjust to what Al Golden might be doing.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Because Al Golden me runs something out there that he
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: hasn't shown yet, there's a good ship. I would not
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: be shocked. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised. He runs
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: a couple of three things out there package wise that
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: he hasn't shown yet from a personnel standpoint and a
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: configuration alignment and all that. So opening a regular season
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: game could be a totally different dynamic than what we've
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: seen so far in the preseason.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Defensively, it's fifteen days away. I'm excited. I'm eager to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: see if the defense looks as good in a regular game.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: With what you were just talking about, with Al Golden
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: having the full bag of tricks at his disposal. It's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: looked for the most part in practice.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I agree in practice. I mean, you look at this
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: defense in practice and you say, I don't know about
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: top ten, but top twelve to top fifteen. I could
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: see that. I could see this defense putting up those
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: kind of numbers and playing to that level where there
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: are top twelve defense in the National Football League. And
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: if they play like that, if they show that right
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: away in the early stages of the NFL season, Ben's
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: gonna win and run away and hide from everybody.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I think when the division and the landslide, I don't
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: think anybody anybody challenges them.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: The Ravens might have something to say about that, but
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I agree with Lapp's premise. If the defense looks as
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: good as it did on most days at training camp,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it should be a great season that puts a rap
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: on the Indianapolis game. Now time for this week's fun
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: fact segment. Nate Brooks is a study in perseverance. He's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: been cut thirteen times by eight different NFL teams, bouncing
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: from training camps to practice squads while also playing in
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the USFL and the UFL. But the twenty eight year
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: old cornerback is still playing and was on the Bengals
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: practice squad all of last year. Let's get to know
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the person under the pads. Time for some fun facts
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: with cornerback Nate Brooks from White House, Texas, which is
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the hometown of Patrick Mahomes. You two guys were buddies
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: growing up. Correct, Yeah, we we were.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: We went to school for he was a year older
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: than me, so we were in school for about three
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: When you signed with the Bengals prior to last year,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: he tweeted, let's go with a couple of flexing biceps.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: What's it been like for you to see this childhood
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: buddy win three Super Bowls and a couple of MVPs.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Uh, It's kind of surreal just seeing where he came from.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: We came from the same spot, very low recruited, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: to see how his career elevated is kind of crazy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But very proud of them, just like everybody else back home.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Very proud to have known him, played with him, and
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: then see what he's doing. Now.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Does Joe Burrow know about this connection?
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I kind of keep it low key,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: so I don't really tell anybody until someone finds out.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I hope not. I'm ruining a secret. Yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: we're doing fun facts with Nate Brooks. Tell me a
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: little bit about growing up in white House. What was
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: your childhood like.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: So white Houses in East Texas very I'd say more
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: country than what people would think. Grew up outside, just
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: playing sports all around. Small city, so you know everybody,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: everybody knows everybody. I would say it's a football town,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: but we're more of a baseball, basketball town, you know
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: what I mean. But we did pack out some of
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: those games in high school for sure. But it was
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: a great experience. Like I said, every time I go home,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: it's always support from everybody. Everybody's hitting me up on
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Instagram and stuff, always showing support. But it's always love
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: when we go back home.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: After graduating from white House High you went to the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: University of North Texas playing for the Me and Green
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: for four years. You had ten interceptions while you were there.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: When did you start thinking that a career in pro
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: football was a realistic possibility.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say I was thinking it was realistic, but
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: my freshman year I had to coach give a pregame speech.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: We were playing like some SEC team. They were paying
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: us to come play, but he gave a pregame speech
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: that kind of just changed my own mentality. I didn't
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: play a lick that game at all, but he just
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: gave me just the chills and what he was saying,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: how I could change my life, change my family's life.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: And I think from that point on my freshman year,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I was like, I want to go to the NFL.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: And then after my sophomore year, I think I had
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: a great season. I was actually trying to come out
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: my junior year and then ended up battling some injuries
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: my junior year and had to stay my senior year.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: But it ended up perfectly.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Honestly. It must have been a powerful speech. Yeah, it was.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: It was coach Perry Carter. I think he's coaching in
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: the league. Actually he actually coached fig in college two
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: so yeah, great man. I mean, he played in the league,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: he was All American at his college, and just he
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: poured into us that pregame speech. And I mean, I'll
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: never forget that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: We're visiting with Nate Brooks. You went to your first
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: NFL training camp with the Cardinals in twenty nineteen. Then
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you spent time on the Patriots practice squad that year,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and then in December of your rookie year, Miami snatched
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you off the Patriots practice squad and you started less
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: than a week later. How big were the Butterflies?
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Uh? I don't think the butterflies really hit until maybe
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: pre game. So they brought me in and they were like, oh, yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: we're just gonna give you maybe twenty snaps this game,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: just to get your feet wet, and then next week
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: we'll throw you in there. But pregame, coach Chuck, who's
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: actually Coach Burks, he came to be pregame tap me
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: and was like, oh, yeah, you're starting, And that's when
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: stuff kind of kind of got a little surreal. I
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: was like, Okay, now I'm a little nervous now going
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: against Eli. I think it was Eli's last home game
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: in New York. Yeah, but I was definitely a legitary
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: and it kind of showed a little bit in a play,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: but we calmed down those next two games.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: So You've had a long connection with Coach Burks.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Coach Burks is a great man on and off the field,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: somebody I could come to with anything. Football wise or
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: anything off the field wise, just sit down and have
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: fellowship and talk about life. So he's a great leader
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: of men, somebody I respect very well and I'm thankful
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: to be here with him.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: We're trying to with Nate Brooks. He played in three
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: games for the Dolphins your rookie year and then in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a game for Baltimore the following year, and that game
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: was here. It was in Cincinnati final game of the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: regular season. It was a lopsided Baltimore win, unfortunately. But
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: does anything stand out about that experience of playing here
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I remember being here. I also remember it was the
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: COVID year, so there weren't many fans. So last year
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: when I actually got to walk out into the stadium
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: like first home game and actually experience I was like, Wow,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: I've never I guess I've never played here before. It
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: felt completely different. But yeah, just being on that field again,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: it kind of feels comfortable. I've played here. I played
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: very well here when I played with Baltimore, but yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: it feels comfortable here.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: You've been with a few different NFL teams since on
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: practice squads, including the Bengals last year, but you also
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: played in the USFL with Birmingham in twenty twenty three,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in the UFL with Michigan in twenty twenty four. That
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Birmingham team won the championship. It's not the super Bowl,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: but it's still a big deal. What did that experience
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: mean to you?
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Just where I was in my career, where I was
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: in my my journey, Uh, it meant a lot. I
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: actually got to play some what I what I consider
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: meaningful ball, meaningful snaps, got to be a part of
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: game planning every week, and then just becoming like that
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: team number one corner. It meant a lot to me
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: and it's kind of built up my confidence to get
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: me back to where I am today back in the league.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: So being with that that Birmingham team I made, I
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: made a lot of a lot of friends, a lot
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: of lifelong friends I still talk to today. I still connect
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: with the coaches that were there. But yeah, that that
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: championship meant a lot to me and meant a lot
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: to my my pops and my family.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: By NFL accounting purposes, you're listed as having one year experience,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: but you've been playing pro football now for seven years.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: What's been the key to your perseverance.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I think I've been doubted all my life. So I
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: just wake up every day and say, I know, I
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: know what I'm supposed to be doing. I feel like
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: I'm supposed to be an NFL player, not feel like
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I know I'm supposed to be a NFL player. So
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: just waking up with that confidence every day, looks myself
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: in the mirror, knowing I can't play at this level,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: that I can do this, I can play with anybody
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: at this level. That's been the main thing. I mean.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I've had some low points, obviously when teams aren't calling
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: and I had to go play Spring League. But just
• 29:24

  Speaker 1: Bengal Ah.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of love here within the locker room,

  Speaker 4: They ask you questions. I can pick their brands and

  Speaker 4: stuff like that. Even with Jamar and t and m
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: I'm asking them what they see why they do this,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: And that is just very welcoming, and I mean it's
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: it's helped me developing the last year for sure.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: All Right, a few wild card topics to wrap things
• 30:33

• 31:36
  Speaker 4: his brand. I mean, it's a great brands brand, Nameless,

  Speaker 4: Nameless Gallery. So just trying to help him out with

  Speaker 4: whatever I can.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: All right, So if Nameless sells a bunch of stuff,

  Speaker 1: If you could meet anyone in history, living or deceased,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: who would that person be.

  Speaker 4: I think because this is on the top of my brain.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: We talked about this in the cafeteria Michael Jackson. Just
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: because the stories I've heard of people feigning when they
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: see him, or he just standing there and people falling out.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: I think I would like to meet him.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. When his music comes on, you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: still instantaneously like get into the groove. His talent was unbelievable, timeless, timeless.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I mean I wasn't. That wasn't even my era growing up,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: but we grew up playing the little Wei game that
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Michael Jackson experience. And then of course all of my
