Speaker 2: latest edition of this podcast delivered right to your phone, tablet,
1:01
Speaker 2: or computer by subscribing wherever you get your podcasts. It's
1:05
Speaker 2: the greatest thing since randomly seeing Joe Flacco references on Veep.
1:13
Speaker 2: HBO recently ran a Veep marathon. That's the show where
1:16
Speaker 2: Julia Louis Dreyfuss aka Elaine from Seinfeld plays a bumbling,
1:22
Speaker 2: scheming and conniving vice president who is surrounded by equally bumbling,
1:27
Speaker 2: scheming and conniving staff members. I thought the show was hysterical,
1:33
Speaker 2: so when HBO recently replayed all seven seasons, I wound
1:37
Speaker 2: up catching a few episodes, including one where Vice President
1:40
Speaker 2: Selina Meyer makes two references to Joe Flacco. The gist
1:45
Speaker 2: is that the vice president is going on Meet the
1:47
Speaker 2: Press and wants to appeal to regular folks, so her
1:52
Speaker 2: staff convinces her that she should talk about football. They
1:56
Speaker 2: remind her that she's supposedly a Baltimore fan, so she
2:01
Speaker 2: goes on TV and expresses her confidence in Joe Flacco
2:05
Speaker 2: since he was the Ravens quarterback at the time. She
2:09
Speaker 2: knew the sports.
2:10
Speaker 1: Yes, we're not nervous at all with Flacco.
2:13
Speaker 3: Forget about it.
2:14
Speaker 1: I'll bet you a beer that we win by.
2:16
Speaker 2: A TV I asked Joe Flacco about it in the
2:19
Speaker 2: locker room this week, and he said he's aware of
2:21
Speaker 2: the name drop, but has never.
2:23
Speaker 1: Watched the show.
2:25
Speaker 2: He should, especially season one, episode four. Now let's get
2:31
Speaker 2: to the radio replays from Sunday's game in the steel City.
2:36
Speaker 2: In a normal year, the first place team in the
2:38
Speaker 2: AFC North would reach mid November with one of the
2:41
Speaker 2: best records in the NFL.
2:43
Speaker 1: But this is not a normal year.
2:47
Speaker 2: The first place Steelers are just five and four and
2:49
Speaker 2: the Bengals are still in the hunt at three and six. Today,
2:54
Speaker 2: Cincinnati looks to sweep Pittsburgh to pull within one game
2:59
Speaker 2: a first and it is time for.
3:01
Speaker 1: The Big Skin to fly.
3:03
Speaker 2: Here at Akrishore Stadium and second and nine at the
3:06
Speaker 2: Cincinnati eleven shotgun Snap Rogers from the pocket screens it
3:09
Speaker 2: left caught by Gainwell running away from Barrett Carter, and
3:13
Speaker 2: he launches himself over the pylon into the end zone
3:16
Speaker 2: for an eleven yard touchdown. Flacco changing the play as
3:20
Speaker 2: he touches both sides of his helmet and backs up
3:23
Speaker 2: into the shotgun.
3:24
Speaker 1: TODs Brooks to his left.
3:25
Speaker 2: Flacco catches the forty year old QB for the five
3:28
Speaker 2: step drop penalty flag down. Flacco throws it deep, caught
3:33
Speaker 2: at the seven. T Higgins runs into the end zone,
3:36
Speaker 2: but there's a penalty flag in the offensive backfield.
3:40
Speaker 4: Looks like it's holding against Pittsburgh.
3:42
Speaker 2: The Bengals are celebrating so that's going to be a
3:45
Speaker 2: twenty eight yard touchdown pass as the faith second and
3:48
Speaker 2: ten low snap handled by Rogers. Now he's pressured, goes backward,
3:52
Speaker 2: pump fakes and gets sacked Oo Miles Murphy and bj
3:57
Speaker 2: Hill combining for the sack at the thirty on eleven
4:01
Speaker 2: yard loss. Chris Boswell into attempt a twenty five yard
4:04
Speaker 2: field goal from the left hash. He swings the right leg,
4:07
Speaker 2: his kick is up. It is good, and the Pittsburgh
4:10
Speaker 2: Steelers have a ten to six lead. With ten seconds
4:14
Speaker 2: left in the half. Flacco under center, Chase Brown lined
4:18
Speaker 2: up behind him. Flacco hands it off big hole up
4:20
Speaker 2: the middle, sprinting between the hash marks, now angling toward
4:23
Speaker 2: the near sideline at the fifty Steelers forty. Chase Brown
4:26
Speaker 2: stepped out of bounds around the forty. So the first
4:30
Speaker 2: play of the third quarter is a huge run. Chase
4:34
Speaker 2: goes out of bounds at the Pittsburgh forty.
4:36
Speaker 1: One yard line.
4:37
Speaker 2: How about thirty five yards on a run for Chase Brown.
4:41
Speaker 2: This will be a forty three yard try into the
4:43
Speaker 2: open end of the stadium at Akroshore Stadium, notoriously difficult
4:48
Speaker 2: for NFL kickers. Forty three yards away on a windy day.
4:52
Speaker 2: From the right, Hash Rico ready for the snap, catches
4:55
Speaker 2: a high one, gets the ball down. The kick is
4:57
Speaker 2: up and it is good yes for Evan McPherson. He
5:02
Speaker 2: makes it from forty three yards away and Cincinnati is
5:05
Speaker 2: pulled back within one third down and nine at the
5:09
Speaker 2: thirty five of Pittsburgh.
5:10
Speaker 1: Here comes a blitz.
5:11
Speaker 2: Flaco throws opn the medal intercepted at the thirty yard line.
5:15
Speaker 2: Tugger running it back near sideline at the thirty cuts
5:19
Speaker 2: back to the twenty five twenty ten five touchdown Pittsburgh
5:25
Speaker 2: seventy two yards On the run back, flack Go threw
5:29
Speaker 2: it right to Kyle Dugger and he runs it back
5:34
Speaker 2: for his third career pick six. Wagner, the rookie long snapper,
5:38
Speaker 2: ready to fire it back to Ryan Rico. The snap
5:41
Speaker 2: is good. Here comes the right footed kick on its
5:45
Speaker 2: way and good yeah. Evan McPherson drilled it into the
5:51
Speaker 2: wind from forty eight yards out and the Bengals make
5:54
Speaker 2: it a one score game. They're down by eight with
5:58
Speaker 2: ninety one to go. Then goal from the five Rudolph
6:01
Speaker 2: throws it is caught by Gainwell, touchdown. Pittsburgh Orrin Burks
6:07
Speaker 2: greeted him around the two, but Gainwell crouched down low.
6:11
Speaker 1: Burks failed to make the tackle.
6:12
Speaker 2: And Kenneth Gainwell has his second touchdown catch of the game.
6:16
Speaker 2: Bengals have it at their own twenty nine. They have
6:18
Speaker 2: scored twelve points today. They had been averaging thirty two
6:22
Speaker 2: with Joe Flacco at quarterback. He catches a shot gun
6:25
Speaker 2: Snappy's back to throw, fires to the right, caught it
6:28
Speaker 2: the twenty eight by Noah Fant and the Bengals tight
6:31
Speaker 2: end loses the ball scooped up by Pierre running down
6:34
Speaker 2: the far sideline. He goes into the end zone for
6:37
Speaker 2: a Pittsburgh touchdown.
6:39
Speaker 5: And he does a front flip to celebrate that touchdown.
6:44
Speaker 5: He took off the goal line and did a gymnastic
6:48
Speaker 5: move that front flip in full football equipment. It almost
6:52
Speaker 5: stuck the landing.
6:53
Speaker 1: The Steelers taking knee.
6:54
Speaker 2: The final few seconds run off the clock and it
6:57
Speaker 2: is a split in this run. I will read this
7:00
Speaker 2: year each home team winning, the Bengals winning thirty three
7:04
Speaker 2: thirty one at home and the Steelers winning thirty four
7:07
Speaker 2: to twelve. Here at Akroshore Stadium. Last month, when the
7:12
Speaker 2: Bengals beat the Steelers in Cincinnati. Joe Flacco threw for
7:15
Speaker 2: more than three hundred and thirty yards and three touchdowns
7:19
Speaker 2: and completed sixteen passes to Jamar Chase Pittsburgh was not
7:24
Speaker 2: about to let that happen again. They took away the short,
7:28
Speaker 2: easy passes to Jamar and kept a safety on his
7:31
Speaker 2: side for anything longer. He was targeted ten times and
7:35
Speaker 2: finished with three catches for thirty yards. Flacco went twenty
7:39
Speaker 2: three for forty for one hundred and ninety nine yards,
7:42
Speaker 2: with one touchdown, one pick six, and a passer rating
7:46
Speaker 2: of sixty eight point six.
7:49
Speaker 6: These games, you know they are going to be battles,
7:51
Speaker 6: and even though this looks like a lot, it looks
7:55
Speaker 6: really bad. It's one of those typical games that you
7:58
Speaker 6: come playing here all this sudden it breaks loose and
8:01
Speaker 6: it goes the other way. But this you felt it today.
8:05
Speaker 6: It was a hard, physical game. You knew they were
8:09
Speaker 6: going to make it tough, tough for it for us,
8:11
Speaker 6: and we just didn't come through. In those couple of
8:13
Speaker 6: little moments. You know, they got two touchdowns on defense
8:19
Speaker 6: and got everybody excited and were able to pin their
8:22
Speaker 6: ears back and do their thing. And you know, that's
8:25
Speaker 6: what this game comes down to. It's it's one or
8:28
Speaker 6: two plays that you can look back on, and obviously
8:32
Speaker 6: there's more than that and just the consistency of it,
8:34
Speaker 6: but there's always those plays. And it comes down to
8:37
Speaker 6: just playing and winning football and and kind of waiting
8:40
Speaker 6: for your opportunity and you know, not letting not letting
8:44
Speaker 6: yourself get too far out ahead of yourself and trying
8:47
Speaker 6: to make things happen when they're not going to. And
8:49
Speaker 6: I don't really think we were doing that today, but
8:51
Speaker 6: we obviously, you know, just we weren't able to wait, wait, wait,
8:55
Speaker 6: wait and strike. We we made mistakes and they capitalized.
8:59
Speaker 2: Chasero ran for ninety nine yards and added twenty eight
9:02
Speaker 2: receiving It's his fourth straight game with one hundred or
9:05
Speaker 2: more scrimmage yards, but that didn't help the Bengals score
9:09
Speaker 2: many points. After averaging thirty two plus in Flaco's first
9:13
Speaker 2: four starts, the Bengals only scored twelve on Sunday. As
9:17
Speaker 2: a result, their chances of winning the AFC North are slim.
9:21
Speaker 6: Listen to and we're halfway through the season. Basically it's
9:25
Speaker 6: a little bit more now, but it really is so
9:28
Speaker 6: tough to look at it that way. I think it's
9:30
Speaker 6: easy to get caught up in that stuff. I really
9:34
Speaker 6: try to remove myself from those situations and just go
9:36
Speaker 6: play football. And I think if you do that, that's
9:40
Speaker 6: when you give yourself the best chance to be in
9:41
Speaker 6: the best position you want. Obviously, that's there lingering and
9:45
Speaker 6: you know, the opportunity and all that stuff, but you
9:48
Speaker 6: got to try to avoid getting caught up in those things.
9:51
Speaker 2: Now, let's get to the defense. For much of the game,
9:54
Speaker 2: the Bengals d played as well as it has at
9:57
Speaker 2: any point this season. After Pittsburgh's scored on its opening drive,
10:01
Speaker 2: the Bengals forced three straight punts and didn't allow the
10:04
Speaker 2: Steelers to cross the fifty. But on the final drive
10:08
Speaker 2: of the half, two roughing the passer penalties helped Pittsburgh
10:12
Speaker 2: kick a field goal to take a ten to six lead.
10:15
Speaker 1: Still you'll take it.
10:17
Speaker 2: But in the second half, with Mason Rudolph in at
10:20
Speaker 2: quarterback after Aaron Rodgers hurt his wrist, the Bengals allowed
10:24
Speaker 2: the Steelers to pick up first downs on third and eleven,
10:28
Speaker 2: third and seventeen, and third and eleven again. In each case,
10:33
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh threw a short pass and the Bengals were not
10:37
Speaker 2: able to close on the receiver and tackle him short
10:40
Speaker 2: of the sticks. Rogers and Rudolph combined for two hundred
10:43
Speaker 2: and forty three yards passing. Two hundred and twenty five
10:47
Speaker 2: of those yards came after the catch. That's ninety three percent.
10:53
Speaker 2: The Steelers weren't targeting the Bengals cornerbacks. They were going
10:57
Speaker 2: after the linebackers and safeties over and over and over again.
11:03
Speaker 2: Here's rookie Barrett Carter.
11:06
Speaker 7: We just got to get eleven half to the ball
11:08
Speaker 7: and just find a way to get get get the
11:11
Speaker 7: guy down, whoever it is. We're in great play calls.
11:15
Speaker 7: Play calls setting us up for success. So for us
11:17
Speaker 7: as a defense, we just gotta get eleven half to
11:19
Speaker 7: the ball and just find a way to get off
11:21
Speaker 7: the field. You know, it may not look pretty all
11:23
Speaker 7: the time, but just we just gotta.
11:25
Speaker 8: Find a way. Washington a big tight end, he catches
11:27
Speaker 8: that ball.
11:28
Speaker 9: What was your view of that play hours to trying
11:30
Speaker 9: to get him down in the space.
11:32
Speaker 8: Of that size.
11:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, just I just gotta do better just knocking the
11:35
Speaker 7: stiff him down and just find a way to get
11:37
Speaker 7: him down.
11:37
Speaker 8: So he's a.
11:38
Speaker 7: Good player, obviously he's a large human being, so just
11:41
Speaker 7: just gotta knock the stiff arm down and just get him,
11:43
Speaker 7: find a way to get him down.
11:45
Speaker 2: They went heavy to the screen game.
11:47
Speaker 8: Went's the key to playing those.
11:48
Speaker 7: Men getting eleven half of the football. That's that's really it.
11:53
Speaker 7: I mean, as frank as that age is. Eleven guys
11:57
Speaker 7: just doing their job and once the ball get thrown,
11:59
Speaker 7: just flying around, just trying to get them down.
12:02
Speaker 6: You know, there's no quid we're helping moralizings at third
12:04
Speaker 6: and eleven, third and eleven, thirty and seventeen, they keep
12:06
Speaker 6: picking up those big ones where those artipically high percentage ways.
12:10
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's frustrating.
12:11
Speaker 7: You know, those are favorable situations for the defense, and
12:15
Speaker 7: you know we expect to get off the field really
12:18
Speaker 7: every single time we're in that situation.
12:20
Speaker 8: So it's super frustrating.
12:23
Speaker 7: So we just gotta just watch the film and find out,
12:25
Speaker 7: you know, what exactly went wrong and just do better
12:28
Speaker 7: with tackling, do better just forming to the football, taking
12:30
Speaker 7: better angles, and just finding a way to get the
12:32
Speaker 7: runner down. So it's frustrating, but we just gotta.
12:35
Speaker 8: Find a way to not let it happened. In the
12:37
Speaker 8: next few weeks and.
12:38
Speaker 2: Those third and lungs, it seemed like the strategy was,
12:41
Speaker 2: you know, if they catch it short close to the
12:44
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, we gotta rally up and make the play,
12:46
Speaker 2: which is pretty common, and unfortunately there were several plays
12:49
Speaker 2: where you just weren't able to.
12:50
Speaker 8: Execute that way.
12:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we try to try to keep everything
12:53
Speaker 7: in front of you and just like I said, just
12:55
Speaker 7: rally and tackle them. So we just need to do
12:57
Speaker 7: a better job of that. Frustrating that we add them in.
13:00
Speaker 7: You know, so many of those situations today and.
13:03
Speaker 8: We weren't able to get off the field.
13:04
Speaker 7: But you know, those, like I said, those are favorable
13:07
Speaker 7: situations for the defense, and we can get 'em in
13:09
Speaker 7: a third down and long every single time, then you know,
13:12
Speaker 7: that's that's playing good football. So we just gotta find
13:14
Speaker 7: a way to just correct those mistakes and now that
13:16
Speaker 7: to happen again, three straight.
13:17
Speaker 8: Games without a turnover. What's the key to get a
13:20
Speaker 8: news going?
13:21
Speaker 7: Just seeing the ball, Just having a knack for it,
13:23
Speaker 7: you know, whether that's punching, ripping, stabbing, picking the ball off,
13:28
Speaker 7: whatever it is, just just gotta see the ball better.
13:30
Speaker 7: You know, our offenses, you know, fighting and scratching, carn
13:33
Speaker 7: doing everything they can for us, and you know, we
13:35
Speaker 7: just gotta we gotta compliment them and give them some
13:38
Speaker 7: turnovers and return.
13:39
Speaker 8: So we're just we're building towards that.
13:42
Speaker 7: You know, it's frustrating that we haven't done that in
13:43
Speaker 7: the past three games, but we work at it every
13:46
Speaker 7: single day so that that worm, that turnover worm is
13:49
Speaker 7: gonna turn.
13:50
Speaker 8: So it's gonna turn very soon.
13:51
Speaker 9: You've used the word frustrating a lot. Just how much
13:53
Speaker 9: more frustrating.
13:54
Speaker 2: Is it knowing where you guys are in the division
13:56
Speaker 2: and knowing how much win here could have tightened.
13:59
Speaker 9: Things in the re.
14:01
Speaker 7: It's frustrating again. You know, this division is still there's
14:06
Speaker 7: still a lot of ball have to be played. Still
14:08
Speaker 7: gotta play Baltimore twice, Cleveland, Aga, Cleveland again. So I
14:12
Speaker 7: mean there's it's still a lot of room to for
14:15
Speaker 7: us to you know, rise and you know take that
14:17
Speaker 7: top spot. So it, like I said, it is frustrating,
14:20
Speaker 7: but uh, they don't they don't call the season after
14:22
Speaker 7: the same game. So we we got we got work
14:24
Speaker 7: to do, but we'll we'll respond for sure.
14:26
Speaker 2: The rofense did only score twenty were their positive things
14:30
Speaker 2: on defense, and if Selwich stood out.
14:33
Speaker 7: To you, Yeah, for sure there were positives, and you know,
14:36
Speaker 7: twenty is still too much in in my opinion and
14:39
Speaker 7: our whole defense opinion like that that's they shouldn't they
14:44
Speaker 7: shouldn't have had twenty points. But I thought we played well,
14:47
Speaker 7: just never never wavering. You know when things got hard,
14:50
Speaker 7: you know, we stayed together. You know, the energy was great.
14:53
Speaker 7: So you know, we we we're we're building a family
14:55
Speaker 7: on this defense, and we we know that we're gonna
14:57
Speaker 7: fight til the last second. And now things may not
15:00
Speaker 7: be pretty, but you know we're going to finish all
15:02
Speaker 7: four quarters or however long. It takes so a lot
15:05
Speaker 7: of positives to take away, but you know, the main
15:07
Speaker 7: positives that we just got to get a win, and
15:09
Speaker 7: that's what we fail to do today. So just you
15:11
Speaker 7: got to look forward to next we try to do that.
15:14
Speaker 2: The loss drop the Bengals to three and seven. There
15:17
Speaker 2: are three games behind the Steelers and two games behind
15:19
Speaker 2: the Ravens with seven games to go. Now, let's hear
15:23
Speaker 2: from head coach Zach Taylor, who spoke to Dave Lapham
15:26
Speaker 2: after the game in.
15:28
Speaker 4: The Bengals locker room. With Bengals head coach Zach Taylor
15:32
Speaker 4: tough today coming to Pittsburgh. You knew you were going
15:36
Speaker 4: to be playing a really good football team, a sound
15:38
Speaker 4: football team. Just didn't didn't work out. What do you
15:41
Speaker 4: think with the biggest reasons that didn't win this football game?
15:44
Speaker 3: Turner re battle, that's the number one starting point. Two
15:47
Speaker 3: to nothing. Two of them led to fourteen points. You're
15:49
Speaker 3: rarely going to win in this league when you have
15:51
Speaker 3: one for touchdown, two for touchdown is going to really
15:54
Speaker 3: set you back, you know. So you an opportunity twenty
15:57
Speaker 3: to twelve, you're in field goal range, worst case, you
15:59
Speaker 3: feel like going to kick a field goal, and then
16:02
Speaker 3: Joe's hit as he throws and picked six and then
16:05
Speaker 3: turned around with a fumble, you know, right away on
16:07
Speaker 3: the next one for a touchdown. So that's not winning football.
16:10
Speaker 3: That's not what I was supposed to look like. Credit
16:11
Speaker 3: to them for taking advantage of that, running away with
16:13
Speaker 3: it and again losing the turn of balltitude. Nothing's the
16:17
Speaker 3: best starting point there is for that.
16:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, the final score really doesn't dictate or show what
16:22
Speaker 4: the game was like. I mean, for three quarters it
16:24
Speaker 4: was a battle. I mean a battle where I was
16:26
Speaker 4: you know, fighting for every inch, tooth and nail, every
16:29
Speaker 4: inch of the football field. What were you thinking? Did
16:33
Speaker 4: you feel like you were not in control, but you
16:36
Speaker 4: feel like going to win this football game.
16:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely. We've been in a lot of these dog fights
16:40
Speaker 3: and had opportunities right until the very last player to
16:43
Speaker 3: win the game, so that that's not unique. Being down
16:44
Speaker 3: eight points felt like at halftime we were in a
16:47
Speaker 3: fine spot. We're gonna get the ball start the half,
16:49
Speaker 3: came out, scored points and just never never took control
16:54
Speaker 3: of the game. There was not a point where we
16:55
Speaker 3: ever took control of the game, and they did in
16:59
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. They to control of it. And that's
17:01
Speaker 3: that's the difference.
17:02
Speaker 4: You hold a team to twenty eight percent third down conversion,
17:05
Speaker 4: I think it was like twenty eight points six percent
17:07
Speaker 4: or something like that Pittsburgh Steelers on third down, usually
17:10
Speaker 4: that is in the winning column of a football game.
17:14
Speaker 4: How rare is it to hold a team to that
17:15
Speaker 4: kind of a performance on third down and not win
17:18
Speaker 4: the game?
17:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, the plan was good. Again, it's it comes down
17:20
Speaker 3: to that's great, we got to get a turnover. You know,
17:23
Speaker 3: we've had several games now with no turnovers created, and
17:26
Speaker 3: offensively we give him fourteen points. That's that's just there's
17:29
Speaker 3: no chance you're gonna win that.
17:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean turnover third down. What about the running
17:35
Speaker 4: game offensively? He Chase Brown ran the ball effectively before
17:39
Speaker 4: he ran hard. I mean he always does. He gives
17:41
Speaker 4: every effort that he has a total effort every snap
17:45
Speaker 4: that he runs the football. Other than him, do you
17:47
Speaker 4: feel like the running game was proficient enough?
17:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's right now, especially with small JL,
17:52
Speaker 3: he's the main running point. We're gonna give Taj and
17:54
Speaker 3: Kendle reps. We got confidence in those guys, so I
17:57
Speaker 3: thought we got way we needed. It's not always going
17:59
Speaker 3: to be pretty. When you're playing any team in the North.
18:02
Speaker 3: You're gonna have some you feel really good about their
18:04
Speaker 3: effishent they're explosive. You're gonna have some that are no
18:07
Speaker 3: gains or one game and you're just you're gonna have
18:09
Speaker 3: to rally behind that because that's just when you're playing
18:11
Speaker 3: a great front like they have. That's part of the
18:14
Speaker 3: part of the process, and that doesn't catch a soff guard.
18:16
Speaker 3: And we just got to handle the next down as
18:19
Speaker 3: well as we can.
18:19
Speaker 4: I bet when you were traveling to Pittsburgh, and thinking
18:22
Speaker 4: about this football game. Mason Rudolph wasn't a name that
18:25
Speaker 4: was in the top of everybody's mind that he was
18:27
Speaker 4: going to come and play in a football game. What
18:30
Speaker 4: did you obviously study everybody? Everybody just go out in
18:33
Speaker 4: department coach, everybody studies everybody. What does Mason Rudolph do
18:37
Speaker 4: to help his football team win? Oh, he's a veteran quarterback.
18:40
Speaker 4: He's he's been in this building before. We played against
18:44
Speaker 4: last year in Tennessee. You just got to managing their offense,
18:47
Speaker 4: you know, and they were running the ball well, and
18:49
Speaker 4: he was getting the ball in the perimeter. He was
18:50
Speaker 4: getting the ball in some nakeds. They didn't try to
18:53
Speaker 4: put too much on him, you know, in a windy,
18:55
Speaker 4: cold environment where he's coming in the second half, and
18:58
Speaker 4: he did a good job managing what they want.
18:59
Speaker 8: Him to do.
19:00
Speaker 4: Everybody in the National Football League has at least two losses,
19:03
Speaker 4: so I mean the season is not over. I mean
19:05
Speaker 4: there's plenty to play for. What do you do to
19:10
Speaker 4: make sure that your your football team stays focused and
19:13
Speaker 4: takes it one game at a time.
19:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, we go back to work and we keep fighting.
19:16
Speaker 3: And that's what this locker room has been about through
19:18
Speaker 3: thick and thin, and so I trust that that's that's
19:21
Speaker 3: the message they've received, that's the message they want to
19:23
Speaker 3: receive and follow. I've got full trust that will do that.
19:27
Speaker 3: We have to find a way to win a football game.
19:29
Speaker 3: That's there's you can't run from that. These these losses
19:32
Speaker 3: they take it out of you, you know, they do.
19:34
Speaker 3: They beat you up. But in this profession, you got
19:35
Speaker 3: no choice or professionals, we got to bounce back the
19:38
Speaker 3: next day, find a way to have a great attitude,
19:40
Speaker 3: fix the things we got to fix, and come back
19:42
Speaker 3: ready to fight and go find a win.
19:43
Speaker 8: And that's exactly what we're going to do.
19:45
Speaker 4: Jamar Chase and Tiggans are going to get a lot
19:47
Speaker 4: of attention every time they play. They're great. I mean,
19:50
Speaker 4: I think they're the best duo of the best tandem
19:52
Speaker 4: in football any level of football. Pittsburgh Steelers did a
19:56
Speaker 4: pretty good job. I mean, Jamar and t they're going
19:58
Speaker 4: to make plays. They did make plays, but but overall,
20:00
Speaker 4: I think the Pittsburgh's deal has handled things pretty well.
20:03
Speaker 4: What did did they do anything? Difference coverage wires.
20:05
Speaker 3: They just weren't going to give you any access, you know,
20:07
Speaker 3: they were going to make sure that there was no
20:08
Speaker 3: access there. A little bit different than the first time
20:10
Speaker 3: we played them. Not to be expected. You didn't expect
20:12
Speaker 3: the exact same point when you played them again and
20:15
Speaker 3: and again.
20:15
Speaker 8: We just didn't.
20:16
Speaker 3: We didn't find a way enough to get points on
20:18
Speaker 3: the board early in the game when our defense was
20:21
Speaker 3: getting some stops.
20:23
Speaker 2: Next a home game against the New England Patriots, who
20:26
Speaker 2: are nine and two with an eight game winning streak
20:29
Speaker 2: after beating the Jets on Thursday night. The Patriots open
20:33
Speaker 2: is a five and a half point favorite. The Bengals

20:57
Speaker 2: this week's fun Facts conversation featuring a Cincinnati kid who
21:02
Speaker 2: is currently on the Bengals roster. Time for some fun
21:06
Speaker 2: facts with quarterback Sean Clifford, a local kid out of
21:09
Speaker 2: Saint Xavier High School here in Cincinnati, you haven't had
21:12
Speaker 2: the opportunity to play in a game yet for the Bengals,
21:15
Speaker 2: but describe what it's been like for you to go
21:17
Speaker 2: to work every day at pay Course Stadium.
21:19
Speaker 10: Yeah.
21:19
Speaker 9: I think it means lots of my family first and foremost.
21:22
Speaker 10: You know, the the Cliffords have been living here for
21:24
Speaker 10: over twenty years now, and you know, we really truly
21:28
Speaker 10: call this place a home. So just being able to
21:30
Speaker 10: go to work with a great group of guys, great
21:33
Speaker 10: coaching staff, and great front office. I think that all together,
21:37
Speaker 10: it just means a little extra. I know it means
21:39
Speaker 10: a lot to the guys in this locker room, but
21:42
Speaker 10: for me personally, you know, it is personal. So it's
21:46
Speaker 10: been a pleasure to be here so far and looking
21:49
Speaker 10: at some wins in the future.
21:50
Speaker 2: Did you attend a lot of Bengals games when you
21:52
Speaker 2: were young, and if so, do any specific memories stand out.
21:56
Speaker 10: We would go to games all the time, But my
21:59
Speaker 10: senior year, my parents actually got my brother and I
22:04
Speaker 10: season tickets four just for my senior year and his
22:08
Speaker 10: eighth grade year. And if you know brother, the brother connection,
22:11
Speaker 10: obviously you bicker and you fight each other for so long,
22:14
Speaker 10: and it was actually funny because in my last year
22:16
Speaker 10: before I left for college and his first year going
22:19
Speaker 10: into high school. You know, it was that opportunity to
22:21
Speaker 10: go to the Bengals games where I feel like we
22:23
Speaker 10: really developed that best friendship and it carries on today.
22:27
Speaker 9: You know, that's my right hand man.
22:28
Speaker 10: So I owe a lot to this team just from
22:31
Speaker 10: being a fan first and foremost.
22:33
Speaker 9: My brother and I would always talk about it.
22:35
Speaker 10: I was able to the first game point out to
22:38
Speaker 10: Zach the exact spot where I was sitting, you know,
22:41
Speaker 10: almost a decade ago. So it's really cool to be
22:44
Speaker 10: back on the field contributing to a team, maybe not
22:47
Speaker 10: on the field, but from a week to week perspective,
22:49
Speaker 10: just giving it.
22:50
Speaker 9: My all and trying to find a way to win.
22:52
Speaker 2: We're visiting with Sean Clifford. One of the most memorable
22:54
Speaker 2: moments in the Bengal Super Bowl run in twenty twenty
22:57
Speaker 2: one was the playoff game in Tennessee where Joe Burrow
22:59
Speaker 2: got sacked nine times and the Bengals still won the game.
23:02
Speaker 2: You did that in the state championship game for Saint
23:04
Speaker 2: X back in twenty sixteen. Describe that season because it
23:08
Speaker 2: was not a smooth ride for the Bombers.
23:11
Speaker 10: Yeah, very similar to this year. I think, you know,
23:13
Speaker 10: the at least the opportunity. You know, we went five
23:15
Speaker 10: and five in the regular season. Steve Speckck actually wrote
23:18
Speaker 10: a book about that season. But when five and five,
23:22
Speaker 10: I had injuries. We had injuries going into the season.
23:24
Speaker 10: I think that we had five starters out by the
23:27
Speaker 10: first week. So you know, it was a lot of
23:29
Speaker 10: ups and downs, but put together some good wins in
23:32
Speaker 10: the back end, made it into the playoffs, is a
23:35
Speaker 10: very late seed, and then rode that momentum all the
23:38
Speaker 10: way to the state championship. And I think that you know,
23:40
Speaker 10: you in those situations, you know, I compare it, you
23:43
Speaker 10: can compare it in every level.
23:45
Speaker 9: You know, you just got to find a way to
23:47
Speaker 9: string together wins.
23:48
Speaker 10: But then once you get to the big dance and
23:49
Speaker 10: it's one game at a time, anything can happen. So
23:53
Speaker 10: I think that that's always been my mindset is you know,
23:55
Speaker 10: a season's long, it's gonna be tough, and there's gonna
23:57
Speaker 10: be ups and downs, but weathering that story and being
24:00
Speaker 10: able to at least get to the final that you know,
24:03
Speaker 10: that final show, then anybody can win every single week.
24:06
Speaker 10: So it's just about putting putting enough together, you know,
24:09
Speaker 10: because you're gonna face adversity. But if you can put
24:12
Speaker 10: enough together to get to that point, then you can
24:15
Speaker 10: catch a hot streak.
24:16
Speaker 2: From a state championship at Saint X, it was on
24:18
Speaker 2: to Penn State, where you spent six years. Why did
24:22
Speaker 2: you choose the Nittney Lions.
24:23
Speaker 10: It really came down to James Franklin and I hate
24:25
Speaker 10: to see him go. It was tough to see him go,
24:28
Speaker 10: for sure, and I know a lot of guys in
24:29
Speaker 10: that locker room are still feeling that just because you know,
24:33
Speaker 10: James was such a great guy, a family man, somebody
24:37
Speaker 10: who really preached, you know, the same mantra similar to
24:41
Speaker 10: Saint X men for others. You know, it was kind
24:43
Speaker 10: of the same way at Penn State, and my mom
24:46
Speaker 10: really fell in love with the idea of me going
24:48
Speaker 10: to that school. Thank god she did, because I really,
24:51
Speaker 10: you know, she she was a big proponent of going
24:53
Speaker 10: to Penn State. Uh, staying committed the whole way through
24:55
Speaker 10: committing early and staying committed. So I owe a lot
24:59
Speaker 10: to my parents for kind of steering me in that direction.
25:02
Speaker 10: I always loved Penn State, but once I got there,
25:05
Speaker 10: it's around the people, you know, Pennsylvania. I really consider
25:09
Speaker 10: Pennsylvania and Ohio to be the two spots that I
25:12
Speaker 10: really love Midwest kid through and through.
25:14
Speaker 9: That's for sure.
25:15
Speaker 2: You were a Rose Bowl MVP and a win over Utah.
25:18
Speaker 2: Was that the highlight of your time at Penn State
25:20
Speaker 2: or was there something else?
25:21
Speaker 9: I think it's always gonna be a highlight.
25:22
Speaker 10: It's the last game whenever you can walk have have
25:26
Speaker 10: a walk off where you really you know, I did
25:30
Speaker 10: not expect it, but you know, we get a standing ovation.
25:33
Speaker 10: I know it's not about one person, but I thought
25:36
Speaker 10: that when I walked off the field at the Rose
25:38
Speaker 10: Bowl and got that standing, Oh, it.
25:41
Speaker 9: Wasn't It wasn't about me for the for the moment.
25:44
Speaker 10: It was the village that it took of, all those
25:46
Speaker 10: different people and all those teammates and captains that and
25:49
Speaker 10: coaches that poured so much into me throughout my career
25:52
Speaker 10: that you know, it really brought me to tears just
25:54
Speaker 10: thinking about it, and it will always give me kind
25:56
Speaker 10: of chill.
25:56
Speaker 9: So I think the Rose Bowl is one of them.
25:57
Speaker 10: And then you know, you can never kind of kind
26:00
Speaker 10: the white out as well.
26:01
Speaker 9: You know, I think that.
26:02
Speaker 10: That unbiasedly, I've I've talked to a lot of guys
26:06
Speaker 10: who have played in a lot of big games, and unbiasedly,
26:08
Speaker 10: I think that everybody can say that the white out.
26:10
Speaker 9: Is a special moment, a special game.
26:13
Speaker 10: But between those those few games that I played that,
26:16
Speaker 10: you know, Rose Bull's definitely up there as well.
26:19
Speaker 2: After a record setting career at Penn State, you were
26:21
Speaker 2: a fifth round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers.
26:23
Speaker 2: Describe your draft experience.
26:25
Speaker 9: It was a crazy one.
26:26
Speaker 10: I you know, I didn't get invited to the combine,
26:28
Speaker 10: was counted out a bunch of different times. And then
26:31
Speaker 10: as I kind of told my story through the draft
26:33
Speaker 10: process the scouts and kind of worked my way up
26:35
Speaker 10: to to to the the GM level and the coaches level,
26:39
Speaker 10: I think that my story is all about heart and
26:42
Speaker 10: will and what I can provide from a value perspective.
26:44
Speaker 9: To a team. And it's it's a day to day thing.
26:47
Speaker 10: You know, You're gonna get my best every single day,
26:51
Speaker 10: doesn't matter. You know, if it's if it's a Monday
26:54
Speaker 10: or Tuesday off day, or if it's game day. You know,
26:56
Speaker 10: I'm gonna give it my all because I'm I always
26:59
Speaker 10: like to think I'm an ulti competitor. You know, I
27:01
Speaker 10: want to win as much as the next guy, and
27:04
Speaker 10: I'll do whatever it takes for my teammates to be
27:06
Speaker 10: able to get that done.
27:07
Speaker 9: I think that, you know, green Bay heard that. I
27:10
Speaker 9: know that in the process.
27:11
Speaker 10: Cincinnati, you know, I was talking to brad Our, quarterback
27:13
Speaker 10: coach as well, and he even reminded me that, you know,
27:17
Speaker 10: they weren't taking a quarterback in the draft, but if
27:19
Speaker 10: I did slip outside of the draft, you know, since
27:22
Speaker 10: he was gonna try to be the first call that
27:24
Speaker 10: they make to get me here. So I always appreciated them,
27:27
Speaker 10: but Green Bay, you know, took that shot in the
27:28
Speaker 10: fifth round. You know, I was able to back up
27:31
Speaker 10: Jay Love for a couple of years, and I thought
27:33
Speaker 10: that the bonds that I created in that locker room.
27:35
Speaker 10: I have a lot of respect for how the Packers
27:37
Speaker 10: run their organization. It's just a it's a it's a
27:39
Speaker 10: well run show, and I think that it really helped
27:43
Speaker 10: me early in my career to be able to see
27:45
Speaker 10: how it's done. So that way, you know, I can
27:48
Speaker 10: bring that that energy and that mindset into places like.
27:52
Speaker 2: This we're visiting with Sean Clifford. You join the Bengals
27:55
Speaker 2: in September following Joe Burrow's injury, do all of your
27:58
Speaker 2: Cincinnati friends and family members ask you what's Joe Burrow Like?
28:03
Speaker 10: I think it's it's both Joe's now, obviously, you know,
28:07
Speaker 10: being in the in a room full of Joe's and
28:10
Speaker 10: Jake uh, you know, we have three great minds in
28:12
Speaker 10: that room that that all contribute in different ways. You know,
28:16
Speaker 10: I think that Joe Burrow is somebody who has a
28:18
Speaker 10: lot of experience early He's an elite, elite talent and
28:22
Speaker 10: somebody who I've I it's funny if we we lost
28:26
Speaker 10: the game into Minnesota my in twenty nineteen in a
28:30
Speaker 10: in a very controversial game that I won't get into
28:32
Speaker 10: because referees in my opinion, but if we win that game,
28:36
Speaker 10: in which we should have, we actually would have played
28:39
Speaker 10: Joe and the l and the LSU Tigers in in
28:42
Speaker 10: the first week of that that playoff.
28:45
Speaker 9: So I've always seen him as a great competitor.
28:47
Speaker 10: I've seen him as somebody who you know, I have,
28:50
Speaker 10: I have a lot of respect for, and so you know,
28:54
Speaker 10: he provides so much value to that room.
28:56
Speaker 9: And then you add Joe Flacco in the mix.
28:58
Speaker 10: His experience and all the stories that he can tell
29:01
Speaker 10: different looks and different players he's played with and how
29:04
Speaker 10: to scheme certain ways. It truly is incredible to just
29:08
Speaker 10: see the full picture and then you later and a
29:11
Speaker 10: get a guy like Jake who's done such a good
29:12
Speaker 10: job of backing up Joe and coming into big situations
29:15
Speaker 10: and winning games. Very blessed to be a part of
29:18
Speaker 10: this room, and I think it's competitive. I think it's exciting,
29:20
Speaker 10: and someone that really pushes not only our room but
29:25
Speaker 10: the players around us as well to be their best
29:27
Speaker 10: version of the selves and really elevate the competition.
29:31
Speaker 2: Give us the quarterbacks perspective for what Flacco has been
29:34
Speaker 2: able to do to come in under those circumstances and
29:38
Speaker 2: play the way he has, I.
29:39
Speaker 10: Think it just it's incredible because I know you can
29:43
Speaker 10: point to, Oh, it's tough to get the terminology, and
29:47
Speaker 10: it's tough to just understand a game plan that quickly,
29:50
Speaker 10: and you know, you take nothing away from that, but
29:53
Speaker 10: the way that he goes out and executes I think is.
29:55
Speaker 9: The most impressive.
29:56
Speaker 10: It's so simple, the way he plays, but it's so
30:02
Speaker 10: it's so intensely accurate. Every single throw is so intentional
30:06
Speaker 10: when he's getting through his progression, it's so intentional.
30:09
Speaker 9: You know, he knows exactly where his checkdowns are.
30:12
Speaker 10: He knows, honestly, He's studied so quickly how our receivers
30:17
Speaker 10: act between Jamar and t and the different nuances of
30:20
Speaker 10: how to throw them the ball on different routes. And
30:23
Speaker 10: I think it's been really cool as a young guy
30:25
Speaker 10: coming into this, seeing his preparation and then turning that
30:28
Speaker 10: preparation and really really making it into reality when the
30:31
Speaker 10: game's hit and you're seeing that come full circle game
30:35
Speaker 10: after game after game as he puts up big numbers.
30:37
Speaker 2: A few wildcard topics now for Bengals quarterback Sean Clifford,
30:40
Speaker 2: Who is your all time favorite athlete in any sport
30:44
Speaker 2: and why?
30:45
Speaker 10: I think Kobe is probably an old timer for me,
30:48
Speaker 10: just because the mindset, the mentality, the mama mentality of
30:52
Speaker 10: I think he was such a servant leader outside the community.
30:55
Speaker 10: I think that he did a lot as you study
30:57
Speaker 10: kind of his life and what he did with his family.
31:01
Speaker 10: I think from a business perspective, he did so much
31:03
Speaker 10: off the field that really really left a mark. From
31:06
Speaker 10: a community perspective, he was always pouring back into kids,
31:09
Speaker 10: and being able to to really give back to that community.
31:12
Speaker 9: But then when you turn.
31:13
Speaker 10: On the tape and you watch him in a game,
31:14
Speaker 10: he turns into a complete nutter savage, And I think.
31:18
Speaker 9: That that's I think that there's time and place for
31:20
Speaker 9: all that.
31:20
Speaker 10: You know, I think that you have to be an upstanding,
31:23
Speaker 10: an upset and a citizen and a good man in
31:25
Speaker 10: the community. And I always try to be that, especially
31:28
Speaker 10: now being back in the community that gave me so much.
31:30
Speaker 10: But really for a guy like that, you know, when
31:33
Speaker 10: when when it's time to play ball, I think it.
31:36
Speaker 10: You know, there is a switch that you can turn
31:38
Speaker 10: on and it's okay to to kind of get aggressive
31:40
Speaker 10: in that situation because you know, all that hard work
31:42
Speaker 10: and dedication that you put in to be able to
31:45
Speaker 10: to win and to you know, have the chance to win.
31:48
Speaker 9: It's it's it's.
31:50
Speaker 2: Meaningful aside from throwing a football. Tell us something you
31:53
Speaker 2: do well.
31:55
Speaker 10: Oh, man, I you know, I do a lot of
31:57
Speaker 10: business on the side.
31:58
Speaker 9: I really enjoy.
31:59
Speaker 10: Venture cap but I really enjoy private equity. I enjoy
32:02
Speaker 10: the the nuances there. I really just have a mind
32:07
Speaker 10: that loves to learn. You know, it doesn't really matter
32:11
Speaker 10: what it is It's more just the fact of how
32:14
Speaker 10: can I expand my perspective on on everything, because I
32:17
Speaker 10: feel like everybody that comes into the locker room you
32:20
Speaker 10: want to have different ways to connect, and different guys
32:23
Speaker 10: are into different things.
32:24
Speaker 9: So I've always just been.
32:26
Speaker 10: An ultimate learner and and an ultimate question question asker
32:30
Speaker 10: because I think that that's the best way to as
32:32
Speaker 10: a quarterback, to be able to get to know your teammates,
32:34
Speaker 10: especially in an interesting situation where you come in the
32:37
Speaker 10: middle of the year.
32:38
Speaker 9: You still want to be able to lead, and.
32:40
Speaker 10: The best way to be able to lead is to
32:41
Speaker 10: actually know the people around you and know what makes
32:44
Speaker 10: them tick, knows know what makes them play well. And
32:47
Speaker 10: that's through conversation, you know, at lunch tables in the
32:50
Speaker 10: locker room. So I always like to just try to
32:53
Speaker 10: to learn as much as I possibly can about a
32:55
Speaker 10: bunch of different topics, so that way, if a guy
32:57
Speaker 10: brings something up, I can I can hold a conversation.
33:01
Speaker 2: Penn State famously whears the most plain uniforms in college football,
33:05
Speaker 2: perhaps all of sports. So bland that they're cool or
33:09
Speaker 2: time for an update, Oh they're cool.
33:11
Speaker 10: I'm an old school type guy anyway, So I don't
33:14
Speaker 10: think that they need any sort of update. I've always
33:17
Speaker 10: appreciated the tradition and I think that you know, I
33:20
Speaker 10: I grew up watching I wasn't a huge NFL guy
33:23
Speaker 10: until I really started fall in love with the Bengals,
33:27
Speaker 10: but I always appreciated watching college ball and specifically college players,
33:32
Speaker 10: and I just always loved I followed a lot of
33:34
Speaker 10: Nerdame traditional program, you know, with a lot of a
33:39
Speaker 10: lot of good guys, good community guys.
33:41
Speaker 9: And I don't think.
33:42
Speaker 10: I I knew the importance of that when I was
33:45
Speaker 10: just a kid.
33:45
Speaker 9: You know, you're just watching them, busy that they're on TV.
33:49
Speaker 10: But you know, I followed some some some great players
33:52
Speaker 10: just because I was just attracted to the way that
33:55
Speaker 10: they held themselves.
33:57
Speaker 9: And I think that you find that at Penn State.
33:59
Speaker 9: I think you find that in Our Dame. You find
34:01
Speaker 9: it at schools that are traditional. So to answer your question,
34:04
Speaker 9: long story short, Yeah, I love the uniforms.
34:07
Speaker 8: All right.
34:07
Speaker 2: Final fun fact for Sean Clifford. This one's kind of deep.
34:10
Speaker 2: If you could meet anybody in history, living or deceased,
34:15
Speaker 2: who would that person be.
34:17
Speaker 10: You know, I'm a Christian man, and I think that
34:19
Speaker 10: Jesus would be somebody who I'd love to meet. You know,
34:22
Speaker 10: I think that it's he's the ultimate messenger and he's
34:26
Speaker 10: the ultimate you know, warrior when it came to doing
34:29
Speaker 10: good in this world. And I think that the conversations
34:33
Speaker 10: that you know, I would have and will have one
34:35
Speaker 10: day in my in my opinion, will be magical and
34:39
Speaker 10: really life changing. So, you know, always trying to dive
34:42
Speaker 10: into the word and finding different ways to talk to
34:45
Speaker 10: him in different ways, but having an actual sit down conversation,
34:49
Speaker 10: maybe over at dinner, it would be really cool.
34:51
Speaker 2: Sean, appreciate your time. It's great to have you on
34:53
Speaker 2: your hometown team. Best of luck the rest of the year.
