1:02
Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing since isolated tracks. I love listening
1:08
Speaker 1: to isolated tracks from famous songs on the Internet. That's
1:12
Speaker 1: where they're stripped down to their individual parts. For example,
1:15
Speaker 1: you can listen to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie sing
1:19
Speaker 1: under Pressure without any background music, or Dave Grohl's isolated
1:25
Speaker 1: drums on Smells Like Teen Spirit, or a great one
1:28
Speaker 1: for Bengals fans, Duff McKagan's isolated bass guitar in Welcome
1:33
Speaker 1: to the Jungle. There are a ton of them on YouTube,
1:36
Speaker 1: and if you want to laugh, I recommend the isolated
1:40
Speaker 1: vocals from Spinal TAP's Big Bottom. It's hard not to
1:44
Speaker 1: chuckle when you hear the band belt out the lyrics
1:47
Speaker 1: twas My Lucky Bunday. Now, let's get to Day two
1:51
Speaker 1: of the draft. With a ninth pick of the second round,
1:54
Speaker 1: number forty one overall, the Bengals selected Texas A and
1:58
Speaker 1: M edge defender Cash Howell. He was the number twenty
2:02
Speaker 1: eight player on Daniel Jeremiah's big board and number thirty
2:06
Speaker 1: nine on Dane Brugler's board. Howell is six to roughly
2:10
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty five pounds and coming off a
2:13
Speaker 1: great year for the Aggies. He was named the SEC
2:16
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year after leading the conference with
2:19
Speaker 1: eleven sacks. Here are assistant GM Mike Potts and defensive
2:24
Speaker 1: coordinator Al Golden on second round draft pick Cassius Howell.
2:30
Speaker 3: I think the quick wins he can give us as
2:32
Speaker 3: a rusher is really dynamic. His arsenal of rush tools
2:39
Speaker 3: and moves that he has. I don't want to speak
2:42
Speaker 3: for anybody else, but I thought it was second to
2:44
Speaker 3: none in this draft class.
2:45
Speaker 4: We did so much work.
2:46
Speaker 5: The guys upstairs did an incredible job in terms of
2:49
Speaker 5: rank in our board, and he was far and away
2:52
Speaker 5: the highest guy that we had in couldn't believe he
2:56
Speaker 5: kept falling to us. To be honest with you, we
3:00
Speaker 5: couldn't have been more thrilled when he was there for us.
3:03
Speaker 5: So dynamic pass rusher, great production, you know, not average production,
3:10
Speaker 5: great production.
3:11
Speaker 4: Motor guy.
3:14
Speaker 5: Can play you know, four two edge can play outside
3:17
Speaker 5: back or if you go to five down or bigger people,
3:21
Speaker 5: showed proficiency with the ability to drop.
3:24
Speaker 4: Can help us on special teams.
3:26
Speaker 5: So this is a multifaceted athlete and really really twitched
3:31
Speaker 5: up guy.
3:32
Speaker 3: You talked to him, he's a smart football guy. He
3:34
Speaker 3: knows the x's and o's watching tape. But you see
3:37
Speaker 3: that on his film in terms of how instinctive he is,
3:40
Speaker 3: how he uses his hands like like I mentioned, just
3:43
Speaker 3: as Arsenal of rush moves and how hard he plays
3:45
Speaker 3: the game, the passion that he plays with the.
3:47
Speaker 4: Way he plays jumps off the tape. So again he's.
3:52
Speaker 5: You know, he plays with his hair on fire if
3:54
Speaker 5: you will, you know. And in terms of when we
3:58
Speaker 5: were meeting with him and and going through board work
4:02
Speaker 5: with him just standing up wanting to talk ball. You know,
4:05
Speaker 5: I was just looking at my notes. Just the biggest
4:07
Speaker 5: thing was he just wanted to talk ball. He didn't
4:09
Speaker 5: he wasn't canned, he didn't have something prepared. He just
4:12
Speaker 5: wanted to me asked questions, him, answer questions and talk
4:15
Speaker 5: about different things relative to football.
4:18
Speaker 4: So that's that's great to have.
4:21
Speaker 1: Howell was not highly recruited out of high school. He
4:23
Speaker 1: began his college career with three seasons at Bowling Green
4:27
Speaker 1: before finishing with two years at Texas A and M.
4:30
Speaker 1: In fact, he was Shamar Stewart's teammate two years ago
4:34
Speaker 1: with the Aggies. The Bengals brought him in for a
4:36
Speaker 1: top thirty visit and now Cassius Howell will come back
4:40
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati to wear the orange and black.
4:43
Speaker 6: You know, definitely, from the combine to the thirty visits,
4:45
Speaker 6: you know, I feel like I established a good connection
4:47
Speaker 6: with you know, everybody on the staff. You know, I
4:50
Speaker 6: felt like, you know, the scheme that they you know,
4:52
Speaker 6: portrayed to me and the business that they's offered me
4:55
Speaker 6: coming in and playing, you know, I felt like it
4:56
Speaker 6: made sense. And yeah, yeah, it was definitely a great
4:59
Speaker 6: overall thirty vision for sure. I was just said, oh honest,
5:02
Speaker 6: I was just just filled with with gratitude and just
5:04
Speaker 6: wis so things will just be no place in this position.
5:07
Speaker 2: Man.
5:07
Speaker 6: I just you know, this is not my first time
5:09
Speaker 6: being Ohio, So you know, I'm just ready to come in,
5:11

7:03
Speaker 5: his age was great, too because we were trying to
7:05

7:13
Speaker 5: athlete so really excited about.

7:15
Speaker 7: Many guys really at that. Position when you talk about
7:19
Speaker 7: being able to change, directions be able to line up
7:23
Speaker 7: and play physical at the line of, scrimmage but then
7:25
Speaker 7: also match the routes. Vertically there's not a lot of
7:28
Speaker 7: guys just athletically that can do. That we saw that
7:31
Speaker 7: on tape and also saw it with all the workouts
7:34
Speaker 7: that he that he's. Had he was a guy that
7:38
Speaker 7: really every step of the, way you're, like, wow look

7:55
Speaker 7: corners in this. League it's it's a passing. League guys
7:59

8:01
Speaker 7: have high end athletes to match up with these talented
8:04
Speaker 7: receivers day in and day out To.
8:07
Speaker 1: Caario brown spent three years At arizona before finishing his
8:10
Speaker 1: college career At, washington and he's looking forward to adding

8:38
Speaker 1: His washington my dream of. Reality now with some good
8:41
Speaker 1: background information on The Bengals day two, picks here's my
8:44
Speaker 1: conversation with ASSISTANT Gm Mike. Potts, Mike i'm thinking back
8:49
Speaker 1: to the news conference That Duke tobin did right after
8:52
Speaker 1: the season last year where he was talking about improving
8:55
Speaker 1: the defense and he used the expression pass rush is.
8:59
Speaker 1: King you have signed Boy A mafi And Jonathan. Allen
9:03
Speaker 1: you've traded For Dexter, lawrence and your first pick in
9:06
Speaker 1: the second round this year was THE sec leader in.
9:09
Speaker 1: Sacks Casius, howell have you fixed the pass?
9:12
Speaker 2: RUSH i think we.
9:14
Speaker 3: Have it's always a work in, progress BUT i THINK
9:16
Speaker 3: i don't want to say we've completely, arrived because we're
9:19
Speaker 3: going to still continue over the rest of this draft
9:21
Speaker 3: and into college free agency and through the offseason to
9:24
Speaker 3: look for upgrades to the. Roster but we're really happy
9:26
Speaker 3: with what we've done to this. Point you had.
9:28
Speaker 1: The ninth pick in the second. Round The bills took
9:31
Speaker 1: an edge rusher with the third. Pick were you sweating
9:35
Speaker 1: out a run on edge? Rushers between that selection and
9:38
Speaker 1: when you were on the clock with the ninth?
9:40
Speaker 3: Pick we were sweating it out specifically for cash as.
9:43
Speaker 3: How there were a number of edge rushers THAT i
9:48
Speaker 3: know teams across the league liked and we liked as.
9:50
Speaker 3: Well not to the level of, cashus, obviously and there
9:53
Speaker 3: were guys at other positions that we really liked, Too
9:56
Speaker 3: but we do all the team, needs and you mark
9:59
Speaker 3: the team ahead of you that maybe looking at the
10:02
Speaker 3: same positions as you, are and there were a number of,
10:04
Speaker 3: those so we were definitely holding our breath we thought
10:07
Speaker 3: it was probably more unlikely than likely that he would be,
10:10
Speaker 3: there but we all kind of exhaled and felt very
10:13
Speaker 3: fortunate that he was.
10:14
Speaker 1: There were there games or matchups that really stand out
10:18
Speaker 1: to you when you think back at the process of
10:21
Speaker 1: watching him At TEXAS a AND.
10:22
Speaker 3: M The florida game stands out to. Me that one
10:27
Speaker 3: was really. OUTSTANDING i remember being at the school At
10:32
Speaker 3: TEXAS a AND, m AND i believe they had just
10:34
Speaker 3: Played Notre, dame SO i remember watching that game that stood.
10:38
Speaker 3: Out there's you pretty much flip on any game that he,
10:41
Speaker 3: played and he was all over the, place super, disruptive
10:45
Speaker 3: not just in the past game but in the run
10:47
Speaker 3: game as, well and plays really really.
10:49
Speaker 2: Hard so he's a hard guy not to. Notice when
10:51
Speaker 2: you're watching the.
10:52
Speaker 1: FILM i noted that he led the sec in sacks
10:56
Speaker 1: last year double digits For.
10:57
Speaker 2: TEXAS a AND.
10:58
Speaker 1: M how important was it to get some Bud where
11:00
Speaker 1: the production stood?
11:01
Speaker 3: OUT i think you want the traits and the production
11:05
Speaker 3: to all a. Line that's the, ideal and then the,
11:08
Speaker 3: makeup the competitive, edge the fire and passion that he plays.
11:13
Speaker 3: With he kind of checks all of those three boxes
11:16
Speaker 3: in terms of what you're looking for in a pass,
11:18
Speaker 3: rusher he does have shorter, arms but he did a
11:22
Speaker 3: really good job as a, finisher and even when he
11:25
Speaker 3: didn't finish the, sacks he did a great job of
11:27
Speaker 3: pushing the quarterback off the spot so somebody else could
11:30
Speaker 3: either clean it.
11:31
Speaker 2: Up or force an errant.
11:32
Speaker 1: THROW i mean follow up on that because it was
11:35
Speaker 1: such a big discussion where Ruben bain was, concerned and
11:37
Speaker 1: this year's draft he wound up going fifteenth in the first.
11:40
Speaker 1: Round so who he's a very high Selection. Casius his
11:43
Speaker 1: arms are almost exactly the same. Length how does he
11:46
Speaker 1: overcome it to be as effective as he?
11:49
Speaker 3: IS i think his, instincts his ability to just have
11:54
Speaker 3: a natural feel for how to rush the passer is
11:58
Speaker 3: really how he overcomes. That and when you're watching his,
12:02
Speaker 3: tape there's very few times that he just gets overwhelmed
12:05
Speaker 3: and engulfed by, big long tackles because he has such
12:08
Speaker 3: a plan of how to counter if his first move
12:12
Speaker 3: is negated by the offensive, lineman he knows how to
12:14
Speaker 3: counter work back, inside work his hands and get to
12:17
Speaker 3: the next move so he can string move together and
12:20
Speaker 3: find a way to get to the.
12:21
Speaker 1: Quarterback we had a chance to talk to him About
12:24
Speaker 1: cincinnati reporters over the, phone and his personality kind of jumped,
12:27
Speaker 1: out very, friendly, excited exuberant type of. Guy describe the
12:33
Speaker 1: traits that he showed along those lines when he.
12:35
Speaker 3: Visited, yeah exactly what you. Said he was a great
12:38
Speaker 3: guy to get to. Know AND i was telling some
12:41
Speaker 3: of you guys. Earlier we spent a lot of time
12:43
Speaker 3: with him on his thirty visit, here and it was
12:46
Speaker 3: really just to be around him more and really just
12:50
Speaker 3: just get a feel for his passion for football and
12:53
Speaker 3: what makes him. Tick what he loves about rushing the,
12:56
Speaker 3: passer what you know he feels like he can still
12:59
Speaker 3: get better at in his, game what he feels like
13:02
Speaker 3: he does well some of hit the best opponents he
13:05
Speaker 3: went up, against and some of his teammates as. Well
13:08
Speaker 3: just talking to him about a number of different things
13:11
Speaker 3: like we do with a lot of. Prospects but he
13:13
Speaker 3: was just an easy guy to talk to that, way
13:15
Speaker 3: and the conversation just extended longer than maybe some.
13:18
Speaker 2: Others.
13:18
Speaker 1: Mike we often hear the expression best player available when
13:21
Speaker 1: it comes to the. Draft does this fit that description
13:25
Speaker 1: or was this a combination of best player and an
13:27
Speaker 1: area where he felt there was some.
13:28
Speaker 3: Need it was definitely a combination of the. Two he
13:33
Speaker 3: was our top player on the board and it was
13:37
Speaker 3: in need that we wanted to address as.
13:39
Speaker 2: Well like you, said feel like we.
13:42
Speaker 3: Have upgraded the pass rush and the run defense as
13:44
Speaker 3: well for that, matter but specifically the pass, rush we
13:47
Speaker 3: felt like we had already upgraded. It but we feel
13:49
Speaker 3: like he's another piece that really compliments what we have
13:52
Speaker 3: in the room just with his overall skill set and
13:55
Speaker 3: what he can bring to the. Table and, again we're
13:57
Speaker 3: going to continue to look for more guys that could
13:59
Speaker 3: be able to us to acquire throughout the rest of this,
14:02
Speaker 3: process but he was a guy that we feel really
14:05
Speaker 3: really good about and what he can add to the
14:08
Speaker 3: current group of players that we have in that.
14:10
Speaker 2: Room let's move to your.
14:11
Speaker 1: Third round, Pick cornerback To Carrio. Davis he sounds like
14:15
Speaker 1: a very unique. Guy he, says he's six,' four he's
14:18
Speaker 1: got freakishly long arms for, the position but. Excellent speed
14:22
Speaker 1: he runs a low four. Four forties how unusual are
14:26
Speaker 1: those traits for.
14:28
Speaker 3: His, position yeah there's not too many guys walking around
14:31
Speaker 3: that can play corner and at that, size length have,
14:36
Speaker 3: good feet, fluid mover and be. That fast on top,
14:39
Speaker 3: of that he does a good job playing the ball
14:41
Speaker 3: and smothering receivers at the. Catch point so it's.
14:45
Speaker 2: Very rare there's.
14:46
Speaker 3: A handful of them in this draft class that, are big.
14:49
Speaker 3: Long guys he actually had another teammate that was, similar length,
14:54
Speaker 3: oddly enough and they were teammates at two different Places
14:56
Speaker 3: at Arizona, And washington so it's it's rare that you
15:00
Speaker 3: find one of, those guys much less two of them
15:02
Speaker 3: actually on the same, College team and even IN, the
15:04
Speaker 3: nfl there's not many guys. Like that so he definitely
15:07
Speaker 3: has some unique Traits and i'm really excited for him
15:09
Speaker 3: to get here and our coaches to get their hands,
15:11
Speaker 3: on them, develop them and continue to bring those traits
15:15
Speaker 3: out to enhance his game in.
15:17
Speaker 2: All areas he told us.
15:18
Speaker 1: He's played a handful of snaps in, the slot but
15:21
Speaker 1: that's really not. His thing do you envision him in
15:26
Speaker 1: something of, a rotation kind of a situational role or
15:30
Speaker 1: is there a chance that he starts on the Outside
15:32
Speaker 1: and dax moves.
15:33
Speaker 3: BACK inside i think he's an outside corner first. And
15:36
Speaker 3: foremost we'll continue to have those discussions in terms of
15:39
Speaker 3: where everybody's going to, line up who's going to play?
15:41
Speaker 3: THE nickel i don't, think nickel just with his body
15:44
Speaker 3: type and his skill set is necessarily his number. One
15:48
Speaker 3: position he's going to start out at, OUTSIDE corner, i
15:51
Speaker 3: believe and like, you said he's got that size and
15:53
Speaker 3: length in different. Sub packages if he wants to move
15:56
Speaker 3: in cover some, bigger bodies cover some, TIGHT ends i
15:59
Speaker 3: think he certainly can do that and have some. Flexibility
16:01
Speaker 3: there but like, you said he's got limited. Sample size
16:05
Speaker 3: they're playing and at. The nickel not to say that
16:07
Speaker 3: that's something that we wouldn't, potentially try but that's probably
16:10
Speaker 3: not the first place that he's gonna.
16:11
Speaker 1: Line Up jalen davis did well when he started late
16:14
Speaker 1: in the season in. The slat do you guys feel
16:16
Speaker 1: good about him going into?
16:17
Speaker 3: This, Season yeah jalen really. Played well we have liked
16:21
Speaker 3: him the whole time that he's. Been here feels like
16:23
Speaker 3: he's been here a. Long time great guy that everybody

17:23
Speaker 3: guy that we felt good about, his makeup we felt
17:26
Speaker 3: good about, the player and it was a position that
17:28
Speaker 3: we wanted. To address so he was a target for
17:31
Speaker 3: us coming into that.
17:32
Speaker 1: Third round your additions this offseason have been. On defense
17:37
Speaker 1: you kept some guys that you had to try to keep.
17:39
Speaker 1: On offense but when it comes to new guys they
17:41
Speaker 1: have been, on defense whether it's been in free agency
17:44
Speaker 1: or in. The draft how much better do you feel
17:47
Speaker 1: about that unit based on the guys that.
17:50
Speaker 2: YOU'VE added i feel a lot better about.
17:52
Speaker 3: Our defense, you know we added a really good starting
17:56
Speaker 3: Safety In. Brian cook We Added jonathan allen to play
18:00
Speaker 3: in there at. Defensive tackle obviously the Trade For, dexter
18:04
Speaker 3: lawrence and obviously the Move With. BOYE mafe i Mentioned Joss.

18:11
Speaker 3: you know, there's there there are moves that that we
18:13
Speaker 3: really really feel, good about. You KNOW so I think
18:18
Speaker 3: i think everybody around here is very. Very optimistic, BUT
18:21
Speaker 3: again i don't want to sound like a. Broken record
18:23
Speaker 3: their job is definitely, not DONE and I don't i
18:25
Speaker 3: don't think that our roster is going to be final by, any,
18:28
Speaker 3: means uh.
18:29
Speaker 2: Anytime soon we're going.
18:30
Speaker 3: To continue to work and see what's out there and just,
18:34
Speaker 3: you know be open to all possibilities in terms of
18:37
Speaker 3: the resources that we have and the players that are available.
18:40
Speaker 1: TO us i know you talked to other teams about.
18:42
Speaker 1: Possible trades you, always do were you close at, ANY point.
18:47
Speaker 2: I would say we.
18:47
Speaker 4: Were.
18:48
Speaker 3: Close YEAH like, i mentioned we talked about trades on,
18:51
Speaker 3: both ends moving up and moving back in. Both rounds
18:55
Speaker 3: nothing just ended up coming. To fruition and these guys
18:59
Speaker 3: really were targets that because there were trades that that
19:03
Speaker 3: we discussed and did.
19:05
Speaker 2: Come close they were they were offers that we would.
19:07
Speaker 3: Have consider if something maybe blew, us away we would
19:10
Speaker 3: have considered it. More strongly but it wasn't enough where
19:13
Speaker 3: it was significant enough compensation to move off on one
19:16
Speaker 3: of these guys who we felt were the best player
19:19
Speaker 3: on the board and fit it hit us at a position.
19:21
Speaker 1: To need you've got, a fourth two sixth and two
19:26
Speaker 1: sevenths still available to. You tomorrow do you feel like
19:31
Speaker 1: there are some real needs that you have?
19:33
Speaker 2: To? Address there there are spots.
19:35
Speaker 3: That we would like, to address, For sure but at the,
19:39
Speaker 3: same time it's a it's a balance of taking the.
19:41
Speaker 3: Best player we're not going to reach down a round
19:44
Speaker 3: or two later just to FILL position x that we
19:48
Speaker 3: we may deem as a need if a player that
19:50
Speaker 3: we haven't graded much higher. Is there so it's going
19:53
Speaker 3: to be a combination of staying true to our board
19:55
Speaker 3: and being mindful of a number of positions that we
19:59
Speaker 3: would ideally like, to fill but keeping in mind that
20:02
Speaker 3: there could be potential other avenues to fill those where
20:05
Speaker 3: we don't have to go down a level.
20:06
Speaker 1: Of player do you feel like day three is when
20:10
Speaker 1: the hard work really? PAYS off, i mean obviously every pick,
20:13
Speaker 1: is critical and the first picks are the ones that
20:16
Speaker 1: you expect to continue to contribute. Right away but now
20:18
Speaker 1: you're getting down to the guys that are not necessarily
20:22
Speaker 1: expected to HAVE lengthy, nfl careers and in many instances
20:26
Speaker 1: you find guys that wind up playing a.
20:28
Speaker 3: Huge, role yeah that's where the scouts have to make
20:30
Speaker 3: their money and, you know make their work be felt
20:34
Speaker 3: and show their value, for sure just through throughout our
