  Speaker 2: In all the last few weeks or uh playing with what? No, sir,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: it hasn't been.

  Speaker 1: managing and you know, by the time sunny rolls around,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I I don't think about it.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: So it's been been pretty good.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We've gotten a chance to see what Devin Witherspoon could.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Do on the field.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: You've talked about him being a that at practice.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Is it something that you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Are more impressed with than he continues or do you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ever just say the dude just just chill first.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: No, I mean that's him.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Uh. He's always gonna be a competitor, you know, at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: practice and uh, I mean I see now it translates
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to the game.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna stop him, not one bit.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And you know, on the other side of it, it just
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: helps me, you know, with the corner or if I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: have to ever have to, you know, go up against
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: one you know, with that type of mentality or that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: type of play style like Devin Witherspoon. But you know
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: he's been he's been killing it. He's been fun to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: watch and it was a great pick by you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Pete and John coaches used the buy to maybe self
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: scout see where he can improve when you look at
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this offense, a lot of good things like number six
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and scoring.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: What do you want see get better?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Go forward penalties and third downs. But you know we
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: had an early buy, so it's kind of kind of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: hard to self scout with four games. But you know
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we can revisit that week nine or week eight. You know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we we have a you know, more film. I know
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you talk when they resave Bobby if I call righty,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: talk to you know, being excited about it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: What he could mean.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But now these four games, end of the season and everything,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: what do you feel like he's really at it?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Not just playing wise, but just kind of everything.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just him around the building. U He's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he's taking you know, Ken Walker on his way now
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: him and Jordan h Love and Jordan Brooks my bat
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: uh Jordan Brooks, I said, I mean Jordan Brooks. Uh,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I see them talking a lot. So I mean just uh,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he's like an extra coach in the locker room, like
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: everybody just talks to him about you know, on the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: field stuff, off the field stuff, and just a great
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: person just to you know, paying ideas off of and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: uh a great business person just to talk to, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: outside of football.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Do you know when you're looking at the Bengals, you're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: looking at their defense, but from Jamar Chases gave, what
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: can you appreciate what you would learn about him?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I mean just the long ball that uh, I think
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: uh Burrow threw to him on like a seven yard bomb,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just how effortlessly he caught the ball. So, uh, he's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: just a great receiver. Took my hat off to him
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: with you know what he's done the first three years
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in the league. So you know, it'd be fun to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: watch uh Sunday, But I think it's going to get
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the best of 'em.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: DKA, do you look to see anything that Jackson just
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: cause seems like he's gotten maybe a little bit slow
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: getting out of the gates with the way the offense
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: has gone to kind of keep his head up or
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: any anything as first four games coming on.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Uh. I mean, football the ultimate team game, So you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: really can't just pin pinpoint, you know, one person in
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the offense and uh you know, say, you know his.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Stats don't look right because we're we're three.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And one right now, So you know, it's it's just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a matter of time, you know, before he just pops
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and you know it comes on the scene and has
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a one hundred yard game or you know, two touchdowns
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns here. So I mean, it's just a matter
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of time. Like I said, man, we're four games into
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the season. Week five is gonna be I mean, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: fifth game is gonna be big. So you know, we'll
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: see what he does next week. And if you know
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: next week is not his game, then you know the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: next week will be. So he's a great receiver. Just
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: he's gonna keep his head up and just keep better.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Kind of challenges to the Bengals present defensively.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I mean they're very They have a lot of formations
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and fronts that they try to throw at you, a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: lot of different blitzes that they try to throw at you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So I think it's it's kind of chaotic, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the way they run their defense, but you know it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: something that works for them, and it's something that's been working.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So we just got to make sure we're hitting on
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: all cylinders, you know, with our checks and with our
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: point out, our assignments and everything.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: How much credit does the offensive line get and how
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: they've been able to withstand the injuries and and change
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: some positions.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, I mean they should get a lot of credit
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: because I just like a roller decks every week. But
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you know, the backups are you know, stepping in playing
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like starters. So it just uh goes to show you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: how hard they worked during the off season, how hard
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: they worked during practice, and uh you know Andy always
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: has them ready.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So just hats South down and everybody became in a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: good time. As far as getting pass healthy or not,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you know, a winning screen or early, do you try
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and maintain that momentum over the layout there? Uh, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: mean just take it one game at the time. Uh.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: PE's done a gr a great job of trying to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: get us back in the you know, game game week mindset.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, after a week of not playing and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: just watching uh, you know, football games. So you know
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: today is gonna be a big day. For us just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to get back to the basics, just to get back
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to you know, honing in on on on on our
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: skills and just competing against one another.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All that's the restaurant and the food. Your four
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and the food. That's so story about the restaurant.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I was looking to put a restaurant from It's based
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in Arizona.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: It's called Protein House.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So called up the guy and he gave me a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: layout of the plan and it just wasn't you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what I was looking for at the time to put
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in Oxford.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So back to the drawing board on the restaurant, why
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: did you target.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: That articular because I was very familiar with it when
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I was training in Arizona with it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, all right, thanks
