1:15
Speaker 1: win at Central Florida on Saturday. The best way for
1:18
Speaker 1: me to get to New York for the Bengals game
1:20
Speaker 1: was to take the first flight out of Orlando on
1:24
Speaker 1: Sunday morning at six am. Here's how that went. I
1:28
Speaker 1: got up at four ten, hopped in the shower, got
1:31
Speaker 1: on an airport shuttle at four thirty, made it through security,
1:35
Speaker 1: bought a cup of coffee, and was at the gate
1:39
Speaker 1: at four point fifty. That's right. It took me all
1:43
Speaker 1: of forty minutes. There was nobody else on the shuttle,
1:47
Speaker 1: no traffic, no line at TSA no line at the
1:50
Speaker 1: coffee shop, and a short walk to the gate. I
1:54
Speaker 1: felt like the usane bolt of travel. It was the
1:58
Speaker 1: perfect start to turn out to be a great day. Now,
2:03
Speaker 1: let's get to football and the radio replays from sunday
2:07
Speaker 1: nights win in New Jersey. There are twelve weeks left
2:12
Speaker 1: in the regular season. That's more than seventy percent of
2:15
Speaker 1: the schedule, so the Bengals still have time to turn
2:19
Speaker 1: things around. But they've got to start stacking wins and
2:23
Speaker 1: tonight to look for a big one in the Big
2:26
Speaker 1: Apple as they face the New York Giants. Third down
2:30
Speaker 1: and eighteen on the Bengals first drive of the game. Again,
2:33
Speaker 1: the Bengals with an empty formation, shotgun snap.
2:36
Speaker 2: It's a five man rush.
2:37
Speaker 1: Burrow runs hit thirty five, twenty five to twenty fifteen
2:42
Speaker 1: ten five time for the pylon touchdown, a forty seven
2:49
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run by Joe Burrow. First and ten in
2:54
Speaker 1: the red zone at the Cincinnati fourteen with the Bengals
2:57
Speaker 1: leading seven to nothing. Play action faise to roll out
3:00
Speaker 1: to the right. This pass deflected and an accepted. The
3:04
Speaker 1: Bengals have the ball, Jermaine Pratt running it back to
3:07
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five and a pair of offensive linemen
3:10
Speaker 1: will make the tackle at the twenty seven yard line.
3:14
Speaker 1: Jones had his arm hit as he dropped back to pass.
3:18
Speaker 1: B j Hill got a piece and it floated downfield
3:22
Speaker 1: into the hands of Jermaine Pratt for the interception from
3:25
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth of New York. Burrow turns right, hands
3:28
Speaker 1: it off. Moss popped hard, loses the ball, and the
3:32
Speaker 1: Giants appear to recover at the twenty two yard line.
3:35
Speaker 1: They do Jones under center, He takes the snaff, he
3:39
Speaker 1: hands it to Tracy and he's into the end zone.
3:43
Speaker 1: Knifing through the left side of his offensive line. The
3:46
Speaker 1: Bengals line up in a pistol formation. Joe Burrow fakes
3:49
Speaker 1: a hand off to Chase Brown, has to scramble to
3:52
Speaker 1: the right now scrambles back to the left, floats one
3:55
Speaker 1: downfield for Chase over the shoulder catch in Giants territory
4:00
Speaker 1: and tackled at the thirty seven by Cordale Flott. The
4:05
Speaker 1: Bengals have to attempt a thirty seven yard field goal
4:08
Speaker 1: from the right hash trying to take the lead here
4:10
Speaker 1: in the third quarter to snap the placement Moneymax kick
4:14
Speaker 1: on its way. It is good, yep, and the Bengals
4:18
Speaker 1: have a ten to seven lead with forty one seconds
4:21
Speaker 1: left here in the third quarter. Four defensive linemen in
4:25
Speaker 1: the game in a single high safety for Cincinnati Jones
4:28
Speaker 1: and the shotgun he catches on fourth and two, he's
4:31
Speaker 1: back to throw his pass broken up by DJ Turner,
4:35
Speaker 1: and the Bengals stop the Giants on fourth and two
4:39
Speaker 1: with three to zero one to go. It's an empty
4:41
Speaker 1: backfield for Cincinnati. On third down and twelve. Burrow catches
4:46
Speaker 1: the shotgun snap against a four man rush, begins scrambling left,
4:50
Speaker 1: squares his shoulders throws down field, caught by u USh
4:55
Speaker 1: a first down in Giants territory. He's out of bounds
4:58
Speaker 1: at the thirty seven yard line. He beat Pinnock and
5:02
Speaker 1: Burrow delivered a strike to continue the drive. The Bengals
5:06
Speaker 1: line up in a pistol formation with Chase Brown behind
5:08
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. All goes in motion. They give it to
5:11
Speaker 1: Chase Brown. He's got the first nine more check the
5:13
Speaker 1: middle of the field. Ten five rolls into the end zone.
5:17
Speaker 1: Touchdown Bengals with one fifty two to go, and that
5:24
Speaker 1: his coffin nails.
5:26
Speaker 2: Bam, bam bam.
5:28
Speaker 1: Burrow takes a knee and that will do it. The
5:33
Speaker 1: Bengals get a big win in the Big Apple, and
5:36
Speaker 1: defense is the difference. Lose crew getting it done tonight,
5:41
Speaker 1: holding the Giants to just one touchdown as the Bengals
5:44
Speaker 1: win at seventeen to seven. So, after throwing five touchdown
5:50
Speaker 1: passes last week, Joe Burrow didn't throw any this week.
5:54
Speaker 1: He was nineteen for twenty eight. That's sixty eight percent
5:58
Speaker 1: for two hundred and eight yards, no touchdowns and no
6:01
Speaker 1: picks for a passer rating of eighty nine point six.
6:05
Speaker 3: Missing throws I normally make you know, I felt like
6:07
Speaker 3: I let the pressure get to me a little bit.
6:11
Speaker 3: You know, I was able to settle down there in
6:13
Speaker 3: the second half and kind of find a rhythm. But
6:16
Speaker 3: the first half, you know, I didn't feel like I
6:18
Speaker 3: was in rhythm at all. I felt like I was
6:20
Speaker 3: getting happy feed in the pocket. I just didn't feel
6:24
Speaker 3: like anything was going our way. So wash the tape
6:27
Speaker 3: and see where I could have improved and been better.
6:30
Speaker 3: I know I could have been, So that's disappointing. But
6:33
Speaker 3: it was nice to see our defense step up and
6:34
Speaker 3: get us a swind to day.
6:35
Speaker 1: Burrow didn't have to have a big night. The defense
6:38
Speaker 1: held the Giants to five for fifteen on third down
6:41
Speaker 1: conversions and didn't allow a single play that gained more
6:46
Speaker 1: than fifteen yards.
6:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great to see our defense step up today.
6:51
Speaker 3: That was exciting to see. You know, we got healthier
6:54
Speaker 3: up front. You could see that that really affected the
6:59
Speaker 3: pass rush. They were getting a lot of pressure on
7:01
Speaker 3: the day. I think our our dbs were sticky in
7:04
Speaker 3: coverage all day. You know, Mike Hilton makes some big plays,
7:08
Speaker 3: big tackles, blitzing and in coverage, so that was great
7:13
Speaker 3: to get him back and We know what we're capable
7:17
Speaker 3: of on offense. We've proven it all year. Uh, this
7:20
Speaker 3: was not one of those nights, But you're gonna have
7:24
Speaker 3: some of those nights. That's you know, it's tough to
7:26
Speaker 3: go out every single week and put up thirty. It's
7:30
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of good defens there's a
7:32
Speaker 3: lot of good coaches and a lot of good players
7:34
Speaker 3: on the other side of the ball. So that's that's
7:36
Speaker 3: what we expect out of ourselves. But you know, it's
7:40
Speaker 3: probably not going to be like that every week. And
7:43
Speaker 3: so just like every week, we're gonna watch the tape,
7:45
Speaker 3: come back to practice on Wednesday and get better.
7:48
Speaker 4: How badly did you guys need a win tonight?
7:51
Speaker 2: Yeah? We really needed it.
7:53
Speaker 3: Uh you know, I don't want to say we would
7:55
Speaker 3: have been out of it if we had lost, but uh,
7:58
Speaker 3: we'd be we'd be scratched for the rest of the year.
8:02
Speaker 3: We still really are. But it's good to get a win.
8:06
Speaker 3: Great to see our defense step up like that. They've
8:10
Speaker 3: taken some heat the last couple weeks, but they played
8:12
Speaker 3: awesome today.
8:13
Speaker 1: After allowing forty one points and last week's lost to Baltimore,
8:16
Speaker 1: the defense held a players only meeting this week and
8:19
Speaker 1: then went out and did the heavy lifting in a
8:22
Speaker 1: ten point win. Mike Hilton, who missed last week's game
8:25
Speaker 1: due to injury, made several key plays against the Giants,
8:29
Speaker 1: including a pass deflection that ended a drive on fourth
8:32
Speaker 1: and two. I caught up with Mike in front of
8:35
Speaker 1: his locker. Mike, I'm going.
8:38
Speaker 2: To quote you.
8:39
Speaker 1: You said we need to uphold our end of the
8:41
Speaker 1: bargain earlier this week.
8:42
Speaker 2: You more than get that tonight. We did.
8:44
Speaker 5: You know, it was a good opponent in New York,
8:48
Speaker 5: and for us to to turn things around, we just
8:50
Speaker 5: gotta keep building. This was a good first step of stone.
8:53
Speaker 5: But we got the division game next week and we gotta
8:55
Speaker 5: be ready for it.
8:56
Speaker 1: This is one of those games where so many different
8:58
Speaker 1: guys made big plays on deef and DJ made several
9:01
Speaker 1: Tray had sex. You and DJ Turner made big plays
9:04
Speaker 1: on fourth down. It was a total defensive team effort.
9:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody kind of just took hold of what I
9:09
Speaker 5: said that in that team meeting up and that players
9:11
Speaker 5: only mean. You know, everybody do their job. We know
9:13
Speaker 5: who we are as a defense, and we can make plays.
9:15
Speaker 5: So when everybody's locked in, focused you know, we're a
9:18
Speaker 5: hard defense.
9:18
Speaker 1: How satisfying is that to have a victory that really
9:22
Speaker 1: was determined by the defense.
9:24
Speaker 2: I was big for us.
9:25
Speaker 5: We've been here, how much the outside knows about our defense,
9:28
Speaker 5: So this was a big stepping stone for us. And man,
9:31
Speaker 5: we're gonna we're gonna be excited about it, but you
9:33
Speaker 5: think about it, we gotta continue to get better. So
9:35
Speaker 5: we're gonna we're gonna enjoy this one to night, but
9:37
Speaker 5: then we'll be ready for next week.
9:38
Speaker 1: Their passing attack did very little. I thought the secondary
9:41
Speaker 1: was outstanding tonight.
9:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were. We limited their explosives.
9:45
Speaker 5: You know, if you make a teams check it down
9:47
Speaker 5: and run the ball, you know you're winning as a.
9:49
Speaker 2: Defense, and we did that today.
9:50
Speaker 5: And well, think about we got out of the field
9:52
Speaker 5: early on third downs. That that kind of settings on
9:54
Speaker 5: doors throughout the whole game and just kind of continued throughout.
9:57
Speaker 1: What was your opinion of Crazy Legs Burrow the opening
10:00
Speaker 1: touchdown and run of the games?
10:01
Speaker 2: Oh?
10:02
Speaker 5: Man, it was good to see him over note like that.
10:04
Speaker 5: Obviously he's not as athletic as some of the other
10:06
Speaker 5: quarterbacks around the league, but shows he can stay for
10:09
Speaker 5: OUTLM being all right, two.
10:11
Speaker 1: And four, big road win tonight. Where does this put
10:14
Speaker 1: the team going forward?
10:15
Speaker 5: Oh, Niggers is a confidence. Obviously it's not where one.
10:18
Speaker 5: We're still under five hundred, but we know what's in
10:20
Speaker 5: front of us. An we got to take this one
10:23
Speaker 5: win a grain of salt.
10:24
Speaker 2: Enjoy it. Let'll be ready for a division game Sunday.
10:26
Speaker 1: Congrats on a great win.
10:27
Speaker 2: Thank you.
10:28
Speaker 1: Offensively, the Bengals only scored on three out of ten
10:31
Speaker 1: true possessions, and they coughed up a couple of fumbles,
10:34
Speaker 1: including one that could have been devastating with a three
10:38
Speaker 1: point lead in two minutes to go. Fortunately, Chase Brown's
10:42
Speaker 1: fumble got knocked out of bounce, allowing the Bengals to
10:45
Speaker 1: maintain possession, and on the next play he ran thirty
10:48
Speaker 1: yards for the clinching td Congratulations on a great win tonight,
10:54
Speaker 1: A win that you put the exclamation point on with
10:57
Speaker 1: that thirty yard touchdown run at the end. How did
11:00
Speaker 1: that one feel crossing it in the end zone?
11:02
Speaker 6: Honestly, like, not as good as you would expect. I'm
11:05
Speaker 6: not gonna lie.
11:06
Speaker 7: We we just strive to be perfect. There's a lot
11:09
Speaker 7: of preparation that goes in every single week. So I
11:12
Speaker 7: mean the fumble right before that. You know, I'm glad that,
11:16
Speaker 7: you know I could come back.
11:17
Speaker 6: And respond, But I mean, at the end of the day,
11:21
Speaker 6: we got to play a lot better than that, you
11:22
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So I mean, I'm just glad
11:24
Speaker 6: we're leaving with the win. But at the end of
11:26
Speaker 6: the day, like messy and we'd rather it be much cleaner.
11:30
Speaker 1: No, the touchdown came on the very next play in
11:34
Speaker 1: your mind where you determined to do something just positive, just.
11:38
Speaker 2: Just respond in a positive way.
11:40
Speaker 6: I mean, rule number one, can't have fumbles at the
11:44
Speaker 6: end of the game where you know, we're trying to
11:46
Speaker 6: put points on the board and seal it.
11:48
Speaker 2: So that's where my mind's at right now. But at
11:51
Speaker 2: the end of the day, is a good win. Defense
11:53
Speaker 2: played their ass off.
11:55
Speaker 6: Offense, we did enough to put points on the board,
11:58
Speaker 6: so obviously we're gonna come out next week motive to
12:00
Speaker 6: do better.
12:01
Speaker 1: As that ball was trickling out of bounds, did it
12:03
Speaker 1: feel like it took forever too, Yeah.
12:06
Speaker 6: I'll just try to punch it out out of bounds.
12:08
Speaker 8: I'm like, just get out of get out of bounds.
12:10
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say what I have to say that.
12:11
Speaker 2: That's just whats on my mind.
12:13
Speaker 1: So the offense has been cooking. It wasn't the case tonight,
12:16
Speaker 1: but the defense came through with its best performance of
12:19
Speaker 1: the year.
12:20
Speaker 8: That's you know, that's that's what we need to do
12:23
Speaker 8: to get the win today. But at the end of
12:25
Speaker 8: the day, we're gonna have to play a lot better
12:27
Speaker 8: to take out these division opponings, especially next week.
12:30
Speaker 2: So you know, focus on Cleveland and let's get this
12:35
Speaker 2: thing rolling.
12:36
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's forty seven yard touchdown run, longest of his career.
12:39
Speaker 1: As he's streaking down the field, what'd you think he's gone,
12:43
Speaker 1: He's gone.
12:43
Speaker 2: He had space, Joe, Joe. I think Joe said he.
12:46
Speaker 7: Was a sneaky athletic, but he's athletic and he's fast,
12:49
Speaker 7: so I wasn't even surprised.
12:50
Speaker 2: You just finished a good run.
12:53
Speaker 1: Congrats and a nice win.
12:54
Speaker 2: Thanks.
12:55
Speaker 1: Round finished with ten carries for fifty three yards. Burrow
12:59
Speaker 1: is actually the Bengal leading rusher with fifty five The

13:22
Speaker 1: hear from Zach Taylor as he spoke with Dave Lapham
13:25
Speaker 1: after the game.
13:27
Speaker 4: That wasn't easy. That's a damn good defensive football team
13:31
Speaker 4: out there, men. Their front is legit.
13:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, they lead the league in sacks, and we could
13:36
Speaker 9: see it on tape. It shows up a little bit
13:39
Speaker 9: more when you're there in person. They got great personnel.
13:41
Speaker 9: They do a real good job playing together. Coordinator does
13:43
Speaker 9: a good job. But I thought in the second half
13:45
Speaker 9: of our offense rebounded the right way, you know, aside
13:48
Speaker 9: from the turnover, We're able to drive the ball down
13:50
Speaker 9: the field, gets to the one touchdown called back and
13:52
Speaker 9: then and then go finish off with another touchdown.
13:54
Speaker 2: Was good to see.
13:55
Speaker 4: How big was it to get those two fourth down conversions?
13:58
Speaker 4: They converted three. I mean, they're aggressive. It was four
14:00
Speaker 4: down territory. It seemed like everywhere in any time during
14:03
Speaker 4: the football game. But to get two like that, it's
14:06
Speaker 4: like two takeaways. It's turnovers, you know.
14:08
Speaker 9: So we got the hit and the pick, and then
14:10
Speaker 9: we got two more on the turnovers and downs, and
14:13
Speaker 9: really pleased with how our defense played. You know, it
14:15
Speaker 9: was they did a great job keeping us in the
14:17
Speaker 9: games that we could go finish it off on offense.
14:20
Speaker 4: Third and eighteen, Joe Burrow runs for forty seven yard touchdown,
14:23
Speaker 4: Third and twelve completion d Yosi for twenty nine yards
14:27
Speaker 4: and then Chase has that thirty yard touchdown. You had
14:29
Speaker 4: explosive plays, plays of twenty four yards and more, I
14:33
Speaker 4: think by five different guys. It was a grind against
14:37
Speaker 4: the Giants, but when you had to, those explosives showed
14:40
Speaker 4: up with you, didn't they.
14:41
Speaker 9: Yeah, grind doesn't begin to describe it. So but again,
14:45
Speaker 9: we just guys, our superstars found ways to make plays
14:49
Speaker 9: in really difficult situations. I thought our aligned did a
14:51
Speaker 9: really good job holding up. I know, their sacks, and
14:55
Speaker 9: they're always going to take the blame for that, That's
14:56
Speaker 9: not always the case. That was on all of us
14:58
Speaker 9: coaches and players, and uh, just just pleased with the
15:01
Speaker 9: way they hung in there and made plays at the
15:03
Speaker 9: right moments.
15:04
Speaker 4: You know, it looked at times like their coverage was
15:06
Speaker 4: really good. Were they doing anything coverage wise that wasn't anticipated.
15:09
Speaker 4: I mean, it looked like they were playing some decent
15:11
Speaker 4: zones mixing it up.
15:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, they mix it up, you know.
15:13
Speaker 9: And that's again when you're not in a great rhythm
15:15
Speaker 9: on second and four and second and three like we
15:17
Speaker 9: have been over the season. We're more seconds to elevens and
15:19
Speaker 9: twelves and they've got the advantage. And we got to
15:22
Speaker 9: do a great job countering and just really struggled early
15:25
Speaker 9: in the game to find a good rhythm to be
15:26
Speaker 9: able to count that.
15:27
Speaker 4: How about your defensive football team. I think they probably
15:29
Speaker 4: had close to seventy snaps when all of a sudden done,
15:31
Speaker 4: and I don't think they had three hundred yards offense
15:33
Speaker 4: and seven points. I mean much Beligne defense stepped up
15:37
Speaker 4: today any great.
15:37
Speaker 9: I mean they kept the backs to three yards of carry.
15:39
Speaker 9: I know Daniel Jones got fifty or sixty, but they
15:42
Speaker 9: kept the backs to you know, about a three point
15:44
Speaker 9: zero average. And you know, I thought they did a
15:47
Speaker 9: good job in the past game overall, and so again
15:49
Speaker 9: to get those three turnovers essentially holding the two miss
15:52
Speaker 9: field goals. Really probably the way the defense played it.
15:54
Speaker 4: Looked like you guys were attacking the bubble. You know
15:56
Speaker 4: that that linebacker area a little bit looked like you
15:58
Speaker 4: were pulling line in. Some tight ends were rolling in there.
16:01
Speaker 4: Chase finally hit one, you know, up the gut there
16:03
Speaker 4: on that bubble, and boy, I mean when he hits it,
16:05
Speaker 4: man looks like his head's going to hit the goal post.
16:07
Speaker 2: Well that's the way it goes.
16:09
Speaker 9: You know, if you can if you can play with
16:10
Speaker 9: the lead and be able to stick with some of those,
16:13
Speaker 9: then eventually the dam breaks. And on that play, the
16:15
Speaker 9: dam broke. And uh, that was a great adjustment by
16:17
Speaker 9: Frank Pollock. That wasn't a plan we had a play
16:20
Speaker 9: we had in the play this week. It's when we
16:21
Speaker 9: carried in previous weeks and run a lot. But I
16:24
Speaker 9: thought that was a great job by Frank, and the
16:25
Speaker 9: players handled it the right way before the drive being
16:27
Speaker 9: away that that was going to come up and executed
16:29
Speaker 9: it really well.
16:30
Speaker 4: So your defense, I mean, there was a sixteen play
16:33
Speaker 4: seventy nine yard touchdown drive they had. The next possession
16:36
Speaker 4: was like eleven plays. They missed a field goal, and
16:38
Speaker 4: you know they started eating the clock up their third
16:41
Speaker 4: in the NFL in time of possession. Their defense plays
16:44
Speaker 4: you know, sound football. Their offense has that ability to
16:47
Speaker 4: control the football. But I thought your team today showed
16:51
Speaker 4: their condition their football conditioning.
16:53
Speaker 9: Yeah, and not to mention they started the third half
16:56
Speaker 9: the second half, got a turnover on downs and we
16:59
Speaker 9: fumbled three plays later and they had to go back
17:01
Speaker 9: out there again. So we just finished. You know, that
17:04
Speaker 9: was what was borning in the fourth quarter. This football
17:07
Speaker 9: team finished and that was good for us to see.
17:09
Speaker 9: We needed that moment. I'm going forward.
17:10
Speaker 4: Was that your mantra all week was that one of
17:12
Speaker 4: the things that you guys talked about was finishing.
17:14
Speaker 9: That's something well we always talk about that, you know.
17:16
Speaker 9: And so again this is the NFL. Everybody knows you
17:18
Speaker 9: got to be able to finish games. But just part
17:20
Speaker 9: of the way, the guys stuck together this week and
17:21
Speaker 9: found a way to get a big win on the
17:22
Speaker 9: road in primetime.
17:24
Speaker 4: So your offense has been playing well for a month.
17:26
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a little bit of a blip,
17:28
Speaker 4: but I mean I have every confidence in the world
17:29
Speaker 4: that you know it's going to be fine. If your
17:32
Speaker 4: defense continues to play like this, that complimentary football could
17:35
Speaker 4: be very complimentary.
17:36
Speaker 9: We know to have a team we have we just
17:37
Speaker 9: got to go go show the world. We don't have
17:40
Speaker 9: to prove it to ourselves. We know, and no better
17:42
Speaker 9: opportunity than to go on the road and find a
17:44
Speaker 9: way to get a division win.
17:45
Speaker 2: Next week.
17:46
Speaker 4: Is Joe okay? Borrow's okay?
17:48
Speaker 2: Everything looks good.
17:49
Speaker 4: Tell you man, he what's he run to forty? And
17:52
Speaker 4: he was looking fast on that forty seven yard sprint.
17:54
Speaker 4: I mean he got through that pile on and it
17:56
Speaker 4: was pretty impressive. I mean the red seed parted literally.
17:59
Speaker 4: I don't know if they had a sign I'm a breakdown,
18:00
Speaker 4: but I mean there was nobody within sight.
18:02
Speaker 9: This forty time is fast enough.
18:05
Speaker 2: I hear that.
18:07
Speaker 1: Giants quarterback Daniel Jones ran for fifty six yards. That's
18:10
Speaker 1: one more than Borrow, but his passer rating was in
18:14
Speaker 1: the fifties and his all time record in primetime games
18:17
Speaker 1: fell to one and fourteen, including one and eleven at home.
18:23
Speaker 1: Up next for the Bengals a road game in Cleveland
18:26
Speaker 1: against the one in five Browns, who lost to Philadelphia
18:29
Speaker 1: on Sunday twenty to sixteen. The Browns have not scored
18:33
Speaker 1: twenty points or had two hundred passing yards in a
18:37
Speaker 1: single game this season. Now time for the radio guys recap.
18:44
Speaker 2: Lap.
18:44
Speaker 1: The Bengals defense did exactly what Mike Hilton said they
18:47
Speaker 1: needed to do. They upheld their end of the bargain
18:50
Speaker 1: and more a great defensive performance tonight.
18:53
Speaker 2: It really was.
18:53
Speaker 4: I mean, you hold an NFL team to seven points,
18:56
Speaker 4: that's remarkable. You got to win that football game, and
19:00
Speaker 4: it looked dicey for a while, but they did get
19:03
Speaker 4: that victory. But I'd say they probably ended up with
19:06
Speaker 4: at least seventy snaps during the course of that football game,
19:09
Speaker 4: and I'm not sure they had three hundred yards offense
19:11
Speaker 4: and only seven points. So you know, defense bent but
19:15
Speaker 4: didn't break. I mean, the impressive part of it was.
19:20
Speaker 4: The impressive part of it was when you know, they
19:24
Speaker 4: go on that sixteen play, seventy nine yeard touchdown drive
19:27
Speaker 4: and the next drive is eleven plays and they end
19:30
Speaker 4: up missing a field goal. But I mean that that
19:32
Speaker 4: football conditioning deal is a big deal, and they stepped up.
19:36
Speaker 4: They stepped up large and kept them out of the
19:39
Speaker 4: end zone. I mean, Jones was a good athlete. He
19:42
Speaker 4: made his share of plays, but I think the defense,
19:47
Speaker 4: the offense obviously struggled against the New York Giants defense
19:50
Speaker 4: and that defensive front. But I think they're going to
19:53
Speaker 4: rebound and hopefully the Bengals defense will build off of
19:56
Speaker 4: this and start playing that comproment in football that we've
19:59
Speaker 4: gotten to see him in the Joe Burrow ear and
20:02
Speaker 4: no more wasted efforts from Joe Burrow. The defense steps
20:05
Speaker 4: up and they solidify those games and win it.
20:07
Speaker 1: I thought it was BJ Hill's best game in the
20:09
Speaker 1: Bengals uniform. I know you talked to him after the game.
20:12
Speaker 1: Big deflection his college roommate intercepted inside the ten yard line,
20:17
Speaker 1: and some other big plays as well for BJ.
20:19
Speaker 4: No question, and I asked him about you know, I said,
20:22
Speaker 4: you know you were drafted here in the third round
20:24
Speaker 4: in twenty eighteen. Was it emotional?
20:27
Speaker 2: He said, yeah.
20:27
Speaker 4: I kind of had to control my emotions a little bit.
20:29
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't want to. I'm thankful for the
20:32
Speaker 4: opportunity that they gave me, but I didn't want to.
20:35
Speaker 4: You know, I needed to compose myself and play under
20:39
Speaker 4: control a little bit. But he gave a tremendous effort.
20:41
Speaker 4: And I said, how many times do you think you
20:43
Speaker 4: get held? I said, I saw at least three, because
20:46
Speaker 4: me and they weren't calling anything out there, but he
20:49
Speaker 4: thought I thought he was a huge factor. Trey Henderson
20:52
Speaker 4: came off the edge for you know, a couple of
20:54
Speaker 4: sacks as well that were big in the football game.
20:56
Speaker 4: But I think on a snap by snap basis, bj
20:59
Speaker 4: Hill was the guy that the charge.
21:01
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, this officiating crew, with Carl Cheffer's
21:03
Speaker 1: in charge, last in the NFL in penalties called per
21:07
Speaker 1: game coming in, so no big surprise they didn't throw
21:11
Speaker 1: a bunch of flags. Let's talk about the pass rush
21:14
Speaker 1: for the Giants and the problems the Bengals had protecting
21:17
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. The Giants were number one in the NFL
21:19
Speaker 1: coming in in sacks, so it's not like this was
21:22
Speaker 1: an unusual experience for them. They won up front quite
21:27
Speaker 1: a bit in this game.
21:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did. I mean twenty two sacks in their
21:30
Speaker 4: first you know, their first five football games and sixteen
21:34
Speaker 4: in the last three. So you had this four twenty
21:36
Speaker 4: in the last four games, I mean, averaging five sacks
21:38
Speaker 4: of game. So it was kind of another day at
21:40
Speaker 4: the office with what they were doing out there. At
21:42
Speaker 4: the Bengals, they're very, very gifted with the way they
21:44
Speaker 4: twist and the thing that I always used to struggle
21:49
Speaker 4: with as a former offensive lineman, is when they are
21:51
Speaker 4: real tight, you know, they the penetrator and the looper
21:55
Speaker 4: doesn't you know, go out into the loopers just right
21:57
Speaker 4: off his butt is tight, and that caused that causes problems.
22:01
Speaker 4: I mean, there can you can get some penetration almost
22:03
Speaker 4: from the looper as a result of that. And they
22:05
Speaker 4: were really good at it. They do an unbelievable job
22:08
Speaker 4: as rushers, and they got good rush off the edge
22:11
Speaker 4: as well. I mean, you know, they they had more
22:14
Speaker 4: than one person that was causing causing problems in the pocket,
22:17
Speaker 4: and they were even though they were looping and stunning
22:19
Speaker 4: and everything, they kept their lanes pretty pretty intact. And Joe,
22:23
Speaker 4: you know, was trying to, you know, create an extent
22:26
Speaker 4: and climb the pocket and do different kinds of things.
22:29
Speaker 4: But I think the other part of it is that sometimes,
22:33
Speaker 4: you know, when he wanted to get rid of the football,
22:35
Speaker 4: there was nowhere to get rid of it. And they
22:37
Speaker 4: were running some pretty good zone coverages. They were mixing
22:39
Speaker 4: it up down there on the back end a little.
22:42
Speaker 4: And uh so it was a challenge for the Bengals.
22:44
Speaker 1: You said before the game, he thought there might be
22:46
Speaker 1: opportunities for t Higgins to have a good game. You
22:48
Speaker 1: were right. Seven targets, seven catches, seventy seven yards, A
22:51
Speaker 1: lot of sevens came up lucky for T Higgins.
22:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:56
Speaker 4: Usually after Jamara has a big game, the next opponent,
22:59
Speaker 4: you know, go to some sort of a bracket coverage
23:02
Speaker 4: or cloud coverage or whatever you want to call it.
23:05
Speaker 4: You know, they'll have a corner with a safety over
23:07
Speaker 4: the top and maybe you know, Buzz the linebacker underneath
23:10
Speaker 4: with a corner. They'll they'll change things up. And they
23:14
Speaker 4: were moving Jamar around and even had him in the
23:16
Speaker 4: backfield some a little shovel pac that he had. Try
23:20
Speaker 4: to get him the football any any way you can still,
23:23
Speaker 4: you know, that's that's the thing. If they're going to
23:25
Speaker 4: do that with Jamar, they have to deal with Tea
23:28
Speaker 4: And if you can hold up in man coverage, god
23:30
Speaker 4: bless you, but he's going to make some plays on you.
23:32
Speaker 1: Joe has described himself, Joe Burrow that is, as sneaky
23:35
Speaker 1: athletic in the past. He was more than sneaky on
23:38
Speaker 1: that first forty seven yard touchdown drive. It's the longest
23:41
Speaker 1: of his career.
23:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that run was incredible, and it was
23:45
Speaker 4: you know, he just saw the thing open up. You know,
23:47
Speaker 4: it wasn't a quarterback draw. It was, you know, just
23:52
Speaker 4: he saw an opportunity to get up the football field
23:55
Speaker 4: and get it done. And I think once he broke
23:57
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, I think he was probably like,
23:59
Speaker 4: oh my god, and I can't believe. And there had
24:02
Speaker 4: to be some sort of a breakdown somewhere. Somebody ended
24:05
Speaker 4: up two guys ended up doubling one receiver and left
24:07
Speaker 4: a gaping, you know, cavity that Joe took advantage of
24:11
Speaker 4: or some such thing. I'd have to have to take
24:13
Speaker 4: a look at the at the tape of it. But
24:15
Speaker 4: it was impressive. And I asked, Zach, you know, what's
24:19
Speaker 4: Joe's forty times? And he goes fast enough? And it
24:22
Speaker 4: certainly was. I mean, get inside that pieline is a
24:25
Speaker 4: huge play.
24:25
Speaker 2: All right.
24:26
Speaker 1: Put the win in perspective two and four with a
24:28
Speaker 1: road game at Cleveland coming up.
24:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, and can get a division win. Climbed to three
24:34
Speaker 4: and four, and you know, and then all of a sudden,
24:37
Speaker 4: you're not You're not in the dregs anymore. You're starting
24:41
Speaker 4: to climb your way out of a little bit of
24:42
Speaker 4: a hole that you dug if you had not gotten
24:45
Speaker 4: this done and go one and five, that that would
24:48
Speaker 4: have been almost ridiculously hard to dig your way out of.
24:51
Speaker 4: But I think this football team has enough talent, enough grit,
24:58
Speaker 4: and enough poise and everything, and it takes to one
25:01
Speaker 4: game at a time to make a little run and
25:03
Speaker 4: get back where they need to be.
25:06
Speaker 1: Here's an invitation to join lapp in me for the
25:08
Speaker 1: Bengals Game Plan show on Wednesday night. We'll be at
25:11
Speaker 1: the Anderson Township Pub from six to eight and Ted

25:18
Speaker 1: you can't make it, you can listen on ESPN fifteen
25:21
Speaker 1: thirty or search for ESPN fifteen thirty on the free

Speaker 1: iHeartMedia app. Finally, it's time for this week's fun Fact segment,
25:31
Speaker 1: where you get to know the person under the pads.
25:35
Speaker 1: Time for some fun facts with defensive tackle Lawrence Guy.
25:39
Speaker 1: I want to start with your grandfather. There's an elementary
25:42
Speaker 1: school in your hometown of Las Vegas named for your grandfather.
25:46
Speaker 1: Tell us about his life and legacy.
25:49
Speaker 10: He was a great man who was first appointed African
25:52
Speaker 10: American judge in Nevada, did a lot of stuff for
25:56
Speaker 10: the community. And through his life. He was in the
26:03
Speaker 10: Korean more as an army ranger. He was in a
26:06
Speaker 10: coast guard before that. Then he was head of the
26:11
Speaker 10: National Guard. Once he got into Las Vegas and became
26:14
Speaker 10: a judge, and his legacy was more than what he
26:18
Speaker 10: did in the courtroom. More what he did in the community,
26:21
Speaker 10: built in people, making sure that everybody was treated equally,
26:25
Speaker 10: and that is known throughout the historical Las Vegas area
26:29
Speaker 10: where they celebrate those figures from the past. His legacy
26:34
Speaker 10: is so big, it's more than I could say, but
26:37
Speaker 10: it lived strong today. My brother is a lawyer and
26:40
Speaker 10: down in Las Vegas and he hears so much more
26:44
Speaker 10: of how great a man that the we called the
26:47
Speaker 10: Judge was, And every single day it's something new popman
26:51
Speaker 10: up here, like we just didn't know because you know,
26:53
Speaker 10: as a family man, you could get the one side
26:56
Speaker 10: of it. You don't get see behind the scenes of
26:59
Speaker 10: what he impact on people's lives throughout the community.
27:03
Speaker 1: I've read that his motto was I can and I will,
27:07
Speaker 1: and you have taken those words to heart. As a kid,
27:10
Speaker 1: you had learning challenges, including dyslexia. Kids can be cruel
27:15
Speaker 1: how difficult was it for you?
27:18
Speaker 10: I didn't know. I just actually tast twenty one, so
27:21
Speaker 10: you just had to figure out different ways of learning
27:23
Speaker 10: at that time. There wasn't heavy testing back then, especially
27:28
Speaker 10: where I was, so it's taking the challenges as they were.
27:32
Speaker 10: But I had a great support system with my family.
27:35
Speaker 10: My dad was very big involved in that. He read
27:38
Speaker 10: I'm here today is because of him. Reason I got
27:40
Speaker 10: I was in college and continue to do that because
27:42
Speaker 10: of him and effort he put into it. Like I said,
27:45
Speaker 10: back in the early nineties, nobody really wanted to discuss
27:47
Speaker 10: and he was head on on at and it says
27:50
Speaker 10: from near it was a lot of tutors at, a
27:53
Speaker 10: lot of people helping, from teachers making sure I was
27:56
Speaker 10: picking it up because everyone learns a different way. And
27:59
Speaker 10: if we and known back then that had dyslexia probably
28:02
Speaker 10: been a little bit easier. But as the process went
28:06
Speaker 10: on through middle elementary, middle school, and high school, it
28:09
Speaker 10: got better and better and better. So by the time
28:11
Speaker 10: I understood that I had dyslexia, it's like, okay, it
28:15
Speaker 10: makes sense now, you know when the words jump here
28:18
Speaker 10: and there, But I've never matter asked them. My brother
28:22
Speaker 10: was asking me one day I would tall a couple
28:24
Speaker 10: of years ago, he said, how does it? How is
28:26
Speaker 10: it having? I just don't pay attention to it, like
28:29
Speaker 10: everything normal to me. So he said something I wanted
28:32
Speaker 10: to know. But I give hope to people that have
28:36
Speaker 10: This challenge is not a disease. It's not something to
28:40
Speaker 10: drop your head about it. It's something. Yeah, it might
28:42
Speaker 10: take a little bit longer to read a book. Three
28:45
Speaker 10: test messages. I learned to embrace what it is. And
28:48
Speaker 10: and when I hear story from parents or young adults,
28:53
Speaker 10: asked me how that I got through, And I was like,
28:55
Speaker 10: is this a challenge? It that you have to take on?
28:58
Speaker 10: The whole thing of giving up it should never be there.
29:03
Speaker 10: You could do anything you put your mind to. And
29:05
Speaker 10: that's just one aspect of it.
29:07
Speaker 1: You mentioned your dad. He was a firefighter for more
29:10
Speaker 1: than two decades, obviously a dangerous and heroic line of work.
29:14
Speaker 1: How did his example shape you?
29:17
Speaker 10: He just made sure that we did the right thing,
29:19
Speaker 10: and he had a great example himself. We come from
29:23
Speaker 10: a military background. My uncle's an army rager, my grandpa's
29:27
Speaker 10: arm rager. His father was an army His father was
29:30
Speaker 10: a police officer, So it comes down from history from
29:33
Speaker 10: my grandmother who worked in the school district. We just
29:36
Speaker 10: had a good model what we should do. But when
29:40
Speaker 10: you look at him and you look at first responders
29:43
Speaker 10: in the whole aspect of it, they riscialized every single
29:46
Speaker 10: day and not knowing they're going to come home to
29:47
Speaker 10: their families. And when you grew up with something like that,
29:50
Speaker 10: you understand the risk that he was taking for others.
29:53
Speaker 10: So when you look into how you should be like,
29:57
Speaker 10: you should grow into a way that respect you for
30:01
Speaker 10: what you do and how you accomplish yourself and how
30:03
Speaker 10: you move around in life. And I think he challenged
30:07
Speaker 10: us when we was younger, especially when we were in
30:09
Speaker 10: high school, to do more and do better. That's when
30:12
Speaker 10: we initially started a turkey drive because he went on
30:16
Speaker 10: a call, I want to say, on Christmas Eve and
30:20
Speaker 10: the family lost everything, and he went to the local
30:23
Speaker 10: Soulbot gifts by the turkey and everything, gave it to
30:25
Speaker 10: them and say, hey, I know you lost everything, here
30:27
Speaker 10: you go, and it was probably the biggest thing. And
30:29
Speaker 10: then from there on it kind of built through the
30:31
Speaker 10: family that this is what we're going to do, and
30:33
Speaker 10: we did every year with him, and I kind of
30:35
Speaker 10: took over from there when I got into college and
30:37
Speaker 10: to do it by myself. But he was an example
30:39
Speaker 10: of always caring about others around him, knowing that he
30:43
Speaker 10: had his own personal stuff going on. But it's always
30:46
Speaker 10: a help in hand to put it out there. It's
30:49
Speaker 10: never a hope hand. We see somebody struggling to his
30:51
Speaker 10: walk away, and now we're built. You built to be kind,
30:57
Speaker 10: he built to care about people.
30:59
Speaker 1: So he helped the fan that lost their home, and
31:02
Speaker 1: you've been doing that ever since from that example.
31:05
Speaker 10: Yes, that's how it literally started from there. Then every
31:09
Speaker 10: single year from there on Thanksgiving, I made sure that
31:13
Speaker 10: I helped people out. And I was think in college
31:15
Speaker 10: you started with like five to ten people buying full
31:18
Speaker 10: mills for everybody on Thanksgiving, and then once I got into
31:22
Speaker 10: the NFL, it kind of just grew from there, you know.
31:25
Speaker 10: Then the five families came to one hundred families, came
31:28
Speaker 10: to five hundred families, and it came to Thanksgiving, and
31:32
Speaker 10: then it went to Christmas. Then they want to get
31:34
Speaker 10: back to schools. So it kind of just kind of
31:37
Speaker 10: developed to itself to what meant a lot to me.
31:41
Speaker 10: And I think every single year I opened my house
31:44
Speaker 10: up for any of my teammates that didn't have a
31:48
Speaker 10: place to go, because like, in my mind, I always
31:52
Speaker 10: wanted to make sure that somebody had food on the
31:54
Speaker 10: table and a family to be around.
31:57
Speaker 1: We're visiting with Lawrence. Guy. When did you become hooked
32:01
Speaker 1: on football? And when did you start to stand out
32:04
Speaker 1: among your peers.
32:05
Speaker 10: I'll be honest with you. My brother I got two
32:08
Speaker 10: brothers and we're both older. And one of my brothers there,
32:13
Speaker 10: he's like two years apart from me. He was like,
32:16
Speaker 10: hey man, he said, He said, you're here, like, I
32:19
Speaker 10: won't play out of the school. You want to join me?
32:22
Speaker 10: That's cool if you don't even take the bus? And
32:24
Speaker 10: I like, well, I got nothing else to do what
32:26
Speaker 10: this dude is And from there I said, like I
32:30
Speaker 10: kind of do this. I liked it. Then I went
32:32
Speaker 10: too wrestling, and I went to track. I feel was
32:33
Speaker 10: doing track. Then they developed from there and he developed
32:37
Speaker 10: that passion. I wasn't the pop wanter kid, I said,
32:41
Speaker 10: but no, I didn't really do pop wanter, but it
32:44
Speaker 10: was when in high school. I love this, the sportsmanship,
32:48
Speaker 10: I love the brotherhood that you build on that field
32:51
Speaker 10: and nothing like it. And from there it kind of
32:54
Speaker 10: took off. And I want to say, I didn't really
32:57
Speaker 10: know I stood out from my peers, and I want
32:59
Speaker 10: to say until junior year and somebody told me. They
33:03
Speaker 10: told me there ranking in the state, and I had
33:04
Speaker 10: no idea, and I was like, okay, cool. And then
33:07
Speaker 10: I just kept in there and it's kept going and
33:09
Speaker 10: going because it's not about where you're ranked at. It's
33:11
Speaker 10: about the challenge and getting better every single day and
33:15
Speaker 10: competing with the people next to you and having that
33:18
Speaker 10: good time in building that relationships.
33:20
Speaker 1: You played college football at Arizona State, where your teammates
33:23
Speaker 1: included former Bengal von Tees Berfect, who had seven mostly
33:27
Speaker 1: good years in Cincinnati. What was he like as a
33:30
Speaker 1: college teammate.
33:31
Speaker 10: It was awesome. Ye what I'm saying it was Tests.
33:35
Speaker 10: I can't say nothing bad about Tests. I love the
33:37
Speaker 10: way they played. We had a great run Mee and
33:41
Speaker 10: him at that school, even to the play into the NFL.
33:45
Speaker 10: You look at the story and how he came in,
33:47
Speaker 10: what he was able to do. He's a heck of
33:50
Speaker 10: a player. He can't take no credit for away from
33:53
Speaker 10: what he was able to do in this league. How impressive.
33:56
Speaker 10: If he was in the passion. He asked, what it
33:58
Speaker 10: especially when it comes to College's like, it's the same
34:00
Speaker 10: effort that he had in NFL that he did in college,
34:03
Speaker 10: and it's very impressive to see and to see the
34:05
Speaker 10: growth of every single year. Kind of was he was
34:10
Speaker 10: still playing, but you know, circumcessions happened by he was
34:13
Speaker 10: a great teammate even off the field. Very quiet, but
34:16
Speaker 10: such a great person to be around.
34:18
Speaker 1: We're visiting with Lawrence Guy. This is your fourteenth NFL season.
34:22
Speaker 1: The bulk of your career has been spent with the
34:25
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, where you played in two Super Bowls
34:27
Speaker 1: and one to one beating the Rams in Super Bowl
34:29
Speaker 1: fifty three. You were named to the Patriots All Decade
34:32
Speaker 1: Team for the twenty tens. What did you enjoy most
34:36
Speaker 1: about your time in Foxborough?
34:40
Speaker 10: Well, one, you know, it's always amazing to get opportunity
34:45
Speaker 10: to play for that team. Leaving Baltimore, they gave him
34:50
Speaker 10: an opportunity to play, and it was amazing where I
34:53
Speaker 10: went from from leaving Maryland and going there and where
34:57
Speaker 10: my talent is exploded. There an opportunity that gave me.
35:01
Speaker 10: But it was it was enjoying. I built so much
35:03
Speaker 10: lifetime friendships on that team, the sparings of being coached
35:08
Speaker 10: by Bill Belichick, Matt Patricia, like I cherished the moments
35:13
Speaker 10: every single day, had four kids there. You know, my
35:18
Speaker 10: daughter was born there, so she seven years that we
35:21
Speaker 10: just grew and then like I said, they built built
35:24
Speaker 10: lifetime friendships there. But understanding that mixture of it. If
35:29
Speaker 10: you know Boston, if you know how the culture was there,
35:32
Speaker 10: it was football and everything, but it wasn't just more
35:35
Speaker 10: than that field and the friendships I built on a field,
35:38
Speaker 10: the chemistry the super Bowl is more more than the community.
35:44
Speaker 10: The community backed me one hundred percent on everything I
35:47
Speaker 10: wanted to do, especially the accumulations and mister Kraft and
35:51
Speaker 10: what they helped me do, build my foundation and help
35:54
Speaker 10: me with venues to every event that I had. It's
35:58
Speaker 10: a blessing that he experience that I tell people all
36:02
Speaker 10: the time, and you could tear the just of a
36:06
Speaker 10: person by what they do. And mits Prats donated twenty
36:12
Speaker 10: thousand dollars in me in May well before we parted
36:15
Speaker 10: with with that team. But I never forget the memories.
36:19
Speaker 10: I never forget that the passion that we put on
36:21
Speaker 10: the field. Like I said, a lot of time franchis
36:23
Speaker 10: we put out there. It's always unique. Every single year,
36:26
Speaker 10: every single team has its own unique dynamic, and I
36:29
Speaker 10: chased every one of them.
36:31
Speaker 1: They signed you as a free agent and then gave
36:33
Speaker 1: you a contract extension, which suggests how much Bill Belichick
36:37
Speaker 1: believed in you. What did you do to earn his respect?
36:41
Speaker 10: You just work hard, You just do I think it's
36:43
Speaker 10: it's Selegan going to do your job. That's what that's
36:45
Speaker 10: what I did. I did my job. I did the
36:47
Speaker 10: best I could help mentor the gun guys. And I said,
36:50
Speaker 10: I worked in the community what she was supposed to do,
36:54
Speaker 10: Like I don't have all the thou off the field
36:56
Speaker 10: and takes houses. Enjoying the game, and that's what Bill
37:00
Speaker 10: up he loved. If you enjoy the game, respect the game,
37:03
Speaker 10: and you put the work in. Whatever you put in
37:05
Speaker 10: this game, but you're gonna get out of it and
37:08
Speaker 10: the show there.
37:09
Speaker 1: What's your favorite Tom Brady memory?
37:13
Speaker 10: Oh, man, I want said the super Bowl. This is
37:18
Speaker 10: him just going over there and we just won the
37:20
Speaker 10: super Bowl. There's so many memories of him and so
37:22
Speaker 10: many stuff just going to leave hilone. But Tom was
37:24
Speaker 10: a great guy. Like Tom Gronk, Jewels, Danny Amadell. They're
37:29
Speaker 10: all amazing people. I can't I can't say nothing bad
37:32
Speaker 10: about them, had great memories with them.
37:35
Speaker 1: All right, some wild card topics. Now to wrap things
37:38
Speaker 1: up with Lawrence guy, who's your all time favorite athlete
37:41
Speaker 1: in any sport?
37:43
Speaker 10: And why Kobe like Kobe did so much in the
37:46
Speaker 10: in the game. Let's be real, when you shoot a shot,
37:51
Speaker 10: retire most people like not even to send the time
37:53
Speaker 10: people saying Kobe, like your legacy can't be better than that?
37:57
Speaker 10: When when somebody thing Kobe, when you shoot a shot
37:59
Speaker 10: every single time.
38:01
Speaker 1: Most people listening to this are familiar with the elf
38:04
Speaker 1: on the shelf. You have apparently brought that into NFL
38:08
Speaker 1: locker rooms.
38:09
Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, I did it.
38:11
Speaker 10: For it from years hiding the elf on the shelf
38:13
Speaker 10: and in the locker room it went. It went from
38:18
Speaker 10: one gesture to another, then it is continued and continued.
38:22
Speaker 10: Nobody knew it was me. It was a thing. Nobody
38:25
Speaker 10: had no idea until the media came along and they
38:31
Speaker 10: and they kind of spoiled it for me. And I
38:33
Speaker 10: could tell you. Bill looked at me like, I'm like, alright, cool,
38:38
Speaker 10: I'm gonna to slow it down on that phe But yeah,
38:40
Speaker 10: I did everything the year we hit it every year
38:42
Speaker 10: with a fun gesture. You know, we we come in
38:45
Speaker 10: here so much and it worked so hard. And the
38:48
Speaker 10: thing that belief is something so small. If adjust there,
38:53
Speaker 10: it could make somebody happy and laugh. And it came
38:55
Speaker 10: in like a whole thing. Me and the equipment went
38:57
Speaker 10: all into it. And see them tamates they stole to
39:01
Speaker 10: el then brought more l So it came fun in
39:05
Speaker 10: an environment that was very You know, it's hard to
39:08
Speaker 10: play in an NFL, so it's a lot of exhausting.
39:11
Speaker 10: So at that time of the year, when something so
39:13
Speaker 10: small is so happy, it's amazing.
39:15
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of your teammates will hear
39:17
Speaker 1: this interview, So might the elf in the shelf be
39:20
Speaker 1: introduced to the Bengals locker room when we hit that
39:22
Speaker 1: time of year.
39:24
Speaker 10: I pleaded a fifth on that with this elf, I
39:26
Speaker 10: plead a fifth.
39:28
Speaker 1: All right, your secret is safe with us. You have
39:30
Speaker 1: a gigantic tattoo of a lion on your back, just
39:34
Speaker 1: a cool design or is their personal meeting?
39:39
Speaker 10: I had another tattoo there and my oldest start didn't
39:42
Speaker 10: like it. She flat out told me she was like, Daddy,
39:45
Speaker 10: I don't like a tattoo. And I said, all right,
39:47
Speaker 10: I'll give it. I get it covered up, and I covered.
39:51
Speaker 4: Up with the lion.
39:53
Speaker 10: This is a sentimental thing, you know, courage and bravery.
39:57
Speaker 10: But I probably would have kept their original one and
40:00
Speaker 10: probably try to get it fixed more than it was.
40:02
Speaker 10: But my oldest when she said it, it got to
40:06
Speaker 10: be done. And I remember talking to one of my teammates,
40:08
Speaker 10: teachers Whise. I was like, hey, man, I said, my
40:11
Speaker 10: daughter just told me she didn't like my tattoo. And
40:13
Speaker 10: he's like, oh really. Then two years later I got
40:16
Speaker 10: it covered. He'd like, I had a feeling you're going
40:17
Speaker 10: and get a cover. He said, you've been like I
40:19
Speaker 10: was in year ten, like it's been so long you
40:22
Speaker 10: had it. And I did it for her, and be
40:24
Speaker 10: honest with that, I covered it for her because she
40:26
Speaker 10: said this was a lot better than the one before.
40:30
Speaker 10: I also had the tattoo on my arm and she
40:31
Speaker 10: didn't like that. She she sat there for a whole
40:35
Speaker 10: summer with water and tower try to rub it off.
40:38
Speaker 10: You can't really see no more because of the sun
40:39
Speaker 10: and faded. But she I don't like it no more.
40:42
Speaker 10: Then she told me not to get no more.
40:44
Speaker 1: You're from Las Vegas, one of the most popular tourist
40:48
Speaker 1: destinations in the world. What's your favorite thing about home.
40:53
Speaker 10: And the atmosphere of it?
40:54
Speaker 4: The lights?
40:55
Speaker 10: I think that ready says, when you get there, how
40:58
Speaker 10: do you speak? You'd see the lights from the airplane.
41:01
Speaker 10: It's amazing feeling, you that warming feeling. But families there.
41:05
Speaker 10: I got a lot of families so there, so it's
41:07
Speaker 10: always good to see them. It's always good to see
41:10
Speaker 10: the new attractions. People always wanted what they do there.
41:13
Speaker 10: There's so many shows. There's so many attractions. I've never
41:16
Speaker 10: My mom worked for the Stratosphere, so we used to
41:18
Speaker 10: go to the stratifair shows once a year and it's
41:21
Speaker 10: amazing feeling.
41:23
Speaker 4: Then.
41:23
Speaker 10: The best thing about that is for the fourth of July,
41:27
Speaker 10: every hotel half hour short show. When I was younger,
41:30
Speaker 10: they don't do it no more, but every single one
41:32
Speaker 10: you get to see him. It's flying off, he's sat
41:34
Speaker 10: on the roof and you really have to do nothing
41:36
Speaker 10: to see him going. It was amazing feeling, all right.
41:39
Speaker 1: Final fun fact for Lawrence Guy. This one's kind of deep.
41:42
Speaker 1: If you could meet anybody in history, living or deceased.
41:47
Speaker 1: Who would that person.
41:48
Speaker 10: Be Alexander the Great?
41:53
Speaker 6: Then?
41:54
Speaker 4: Like why?
41:54
Speaker 10: Like because you have to think about it. He conquered
41:57
Speaker 10: so much and to this day that he's still a mystery.
42:02
Speaker 10: You know, people still trying to figure out who he
42:04
Speaker 10: was as a real person, not the just a legend.
42:07
Speaker 10: And that's one of the things that I'd love to
42:10
Speaker 10: see me by. Okay, let's break it down. You know,
42:13
Speaker 10: the mystery of it. Why did you do it? How'd
42:16
Speaker 10: you do it? What you learn from your travels, what
42:19
Speaker 10: you learn from the anxious of those places that you conquered.
42:24
