  Speaker 1: thing since airline weather advisories. I had a tricky travel
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: schedule over the weekend. I had to get from an
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: eight pm UC game in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on Saturday night
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to the Bengals game in Santa Clara, California, the next afternoon.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: My original plan was to drive to Oklahoma City immediately
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: after the UC game, sleep for a few hours, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: then catch a six am flight to Denver before making
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a connection to San Jose. That's the closest airport to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Levi Stadium. Well, on Friday afternoon, I got the following
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: text message from United Airlines. Severe winter weather across the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Rocky Mountain region has the potential to cause flight delays
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: or cancelations. Severe winter weather in October. In any case,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: thanks to the warning, I was able to change flights,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: avoid Denver and make it to the game on time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So thank you American Airlines for the weather advisory. Now
• 2:11

  Speaker 1: A win for the Cincinnati Bengals as they come to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: San Francisco and humble the forty nine Ers, the final
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: score thirty one to seventeen. Let's start our postgame analysis
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: by looking at a Joe Burrow masterpiece. He was vincent
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: van Joe Burrow completed twenty eight to thirty two passes,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that's eighty eight percent and at one point completed nineteen
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in a row. He had two hundred eighty three passing yards,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and no picks for a passer rating of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: one thirty four point eight. That's the fourth best passer
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: rating of his career and his top mark in a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: road game. He also ran for forty three yards, including
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: an escape where it was like he was in a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: straight jacket wearing handcuffs underwater, and completed a ten yard
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: past the T Higgins even though T was well covered
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on the play. Calf schmaff Here's Burrow with Dave Lapham
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: after the game.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big win for us.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: We executed well, still have some points on on the field,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: had some mental mistakes. So just like every week, win
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: or loss. We're gonna we're gonna get better and improve
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: our mistakes.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Obviously physically. I mean you looked. You looked as good
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: as I can remember you looking. Do you feel one
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: hundred percent at this point?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: It's still still a maintenance thing, still gotta you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: stay up on my rehab, in my treatment. But you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: it's feeling really good. Fell back to pretty much back
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: to normal. So it's nice to get back to moving again,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: making plays.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: With my feet.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: How about Joe Mixon supporting You know, the effort, the
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: air effort was sixteen carries eighty seven yards five point
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: four per You also hit him three times for another
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: thirty yards or whatever it was. I mean he had
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: over one hundred yards scrimmage yard.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was unbelievable today. He you know, everyone saw
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the plays that he made, the runs that he made.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: But he was great in protection as well. Picked up
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: some some big time blitzes for us to push the
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: ball down the field.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: So he was awesome.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: When you were running the football, I was like, oh,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: you split a couple of defenders a couple of times.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: You weren't going to slide. You were going for every
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: inch you could get. I mean, you were just in
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: the zone today, weren't you.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's really what I worked on for
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: the most part of the offseason was my athleticism and
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: in my speed. I just haven't been able to show
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: it really, so it was nice to see that, see
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: that work pay off.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Did they give you pretty much everything that you expected?
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: I mean you looked to be in such a rhythm.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: It looked like you were not fooled by anything. You
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: knew exactly what you were looking at every single snap.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: They You know, we had a great week of practice,

• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks the other Joe was outstanding as well, playing less
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: than ninety minutes from his hometown of Oakley, California. Joe
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Mixon ran like a man possessed. At one point he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: trucked linebacker Dray Greenlaw, and Joe finished with one hundred
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and ten all purpose yards on nineteen touches. I spoke
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to him in the locker room, Joe, that was one
• 9:24

• 9:45
  Speaker 1: three receiving yards today, so more than one hundred yards
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of offense and had a rushing touchdown. You looked like
• 9:51

  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, definitely was all go today and just

  Speaker 6: to deliver from our teammates. Long time coming, but now
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: just got.

  Speaker 6: stack and keep going.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Joe. This was the offense that you guys have been
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: hoping to produce all year long. You know you're capable
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of it. You put it together for four quarters today.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, most definitely.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: That was a great thing to see to be able

  Speaker 2: Of home too.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Congrats had an awesome homecoming in a great performance. It's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not appreciate Joe Burrows. Twenty eight completions were spread out
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to eight different targets, led by Jamar Chase, who finished
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: with ten catches for one hundred yards. That gives him
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: sixty catches through seven games of pace for nearly one
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty six catches for the season. The NFL
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: record is one forty nine by Saints receiver Michael Thomas.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Jamar about his latest stellar performance, beginning
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: with a celebration that we hadn't seen before. All right, Jamar,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: we knew you were a great wide receiver. I didn't
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: know you were a great gymnast him till today. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: tell us about the flying backflip celebration.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this one that has some fun doing backflob I
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: did gymnastics when I was younger.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So run it with me, Bember and Pats before though
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: probably no, it was a little heavy, but I still
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: got it. Yes, you do ten catches, one hundred yards,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and a great performance by the offense. How
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: about you sum up today? I said, we did go
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: over just here.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: I was standing deefest today and nevn never got us
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: to win. Great they go without assignments today, but we
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: executed what we had Appatonius.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Student, he left a few points on the board. But
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: did you feel like this was the first time you
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: put four together, four quarters of good offense together?
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: I want to say so.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we've definite that had an efficiency of going first down,
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: second on for a dollars.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So that's what we wanted to do.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: Very day.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow completed about ninety percent of his past and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: he ran for more than forty yards. Can we say
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: at least say at this point that the camp is
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent?
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, y'all need to say now, welcome back Borough, Tell
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: them back? What were you thinking about walking off the
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: field this long gass flight home.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Have good light, it's a happy plight, but it's still
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the all tho. Yeah we last time you saw that
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: kind of energy on the sideline of uh.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: I can't say it, man, but I don't not have
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: thought the energy before we got out here. Before we
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: got out the plane, you could feel the energy within
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: the team. So he's I thought, we probably a good day.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You stealing a new seasons like that again you feel
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: like a new season? Oh still the same season.

• 14:13
  Speaker 1: thrive the way Joe surgically let your guy down the field.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's how the boys thought out every possessional. I'm
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: saying every job, every and every time we get a
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: bomb bers on the game. You know that's how the
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: one started off. But you know, going get out deepen,
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: sending boy the make and did him rested in them
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: in the bag out there?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So your touchdown came right after Logan's check and that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: was a big momentum swing. First his takeaway and then

• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Today and you know we called that had the perfect
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: common way. You like the most catches when the Cincinnati
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: three way off contributed in the midway, I think t
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: had about six, Tyler caught a touchdown pass, Yoc got
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: in the ends again. Ye all of the weapons contributed. Yea.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: Also that's what we need right at That's how we
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: make it a great offense look even better than grabs
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: on a great way, thank you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: After a one and three start, the Bengals are four
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and three and in a three way tie for second
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: place in the AFC North with the Steelers and Browns,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: who both lost on Sunday. The Ravens won and lead
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the division by a game and a half at six
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and two. Pittsburgh plays on Thursday night this week against Tennessee,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and the Steelers could be without starting quarterback Kenny Pickett,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: who suffered a rib injury and Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: The Browns have a home game on Sunday against the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: one and seven Cardinals, and the Ravens have a home
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: game against the five and two Seahawks. The Bengals Booth

  Speaker 1: the official healthcare provider of the Bengals. Now let's hear
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: from head coach Zach Taylor. We spent a few minutes
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: with Lap after the game.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: You're a souse sayer. You said first time was going
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to be huge. You guys dominated on first down.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the players understood the assignment, you know, and they
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: responded exactly how we knew that they would. And so again,
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: just really excited for the effort and the discipline that
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: those guys all displayed on both sides of the ball,
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: all three phases and earned a hard fought win today.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Joe Burrow twenty eight for thirty two. I mean, just
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: crazy numbers, three touchdowns, no interceptions. Describe what kind of
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: game the guy had.
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: It, can't, you know, And you don't even know that
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: that's happening, you know, it's just you feel the rhythm
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: of the offense.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: He just does it so.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: Often you don't even really appreciate it in the moment
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: when you hear those stats. As a former quarterback coach,
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: and man, you appreciate that, but we also know that
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: what goes into it is outstanding protection to where he
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: can trust what he needs to do and the receivers
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: doing what they need to do to win.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: And that's what they did today.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: And now when defenses say, all right, well we're going
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: to give the middle of the football field up Joe's
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: running like he's running six times averaging big numbers, you know,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: scrambling and getting first downs that way?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: How important and big is that critical?
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: I mean, just for a quarterback to understand what's the
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: best thing to beat that coverage because they got you
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: out numbered. They've got good, good guys in the secondary
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: and a linebacker. They got great rushers, so sometimes you
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: don't have a great advantage in the pass game and
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: some past situations based on the coverage they play, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: for Joe to use his feet and know that that's
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: the way to win, man, that's big time.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Red zone five times you down there, four touchdowns. He
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: did have to turnover. You know that obviously isn't something
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: that you're pleased about. But the execution. Four touchdowns and
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: five possessions in the red zone pretty good.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: Coach, Yeah, that's obviously we want to go five for five,
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: but we knew coming on the road those four point
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: players were going to be and our guys found way
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: to make those plays and run game pass game.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: It was good to see.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Crowd noise was another thing who talked about, and it
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: seems like you guys handled that especially well they did.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we had a good plan.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: Joe did a good job being a fishing gidding get
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: into the line and making the protection calls he needed
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: to make. He had to make a couple lod of
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: balls based on two play calls we had, and so
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: I thought that those guys responded the right way.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Defense holds this forty nine er offense to seventeen points
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: at home. I mean they had won eleven in a row,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: pretty head and lost here. He'd won eight times without
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: a defeat. How big a statement is it that you
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: never trailed your defense held into seventeen you put up
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: thirty one.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: That's huge.
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: You know, our defense has really played that way all
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: season long, you know, and we haven't always given the
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: opportunity to play with the lead, but that's always what
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: they've they've had in their back pocket. And so again,
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: anytime you can give that defense a lead, they're going
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: to be pretty dangerous.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Joe Mixon complimented things exceptionally well. In the running game.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: He rushed for eighty three yards averaged, you know, on
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: sixteen carries, had an average five yards priorri He caught
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: balls for over thirty yards, had over one hundred yard
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: scrimmage day how big a companment was.
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: He Yeah, a guy comes back home like that to
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: the northern California area in front of his newborn daughter
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: is pretty cool. And I thought he played with a
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: ton of energy today then is really proud of him.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: So, coach, you swept the NFC West, I mean four Oh,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: now it's time to start stacking some wins against the
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: AFC and Buffalo comes to town on Sunday night. What
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: you first thought there and around the division? The only
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: other team that won was Baltimore, So it's a Baltimore's
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: got the best record, but everybody else is four and
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: three and just battle royal as it always is in
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: the division.
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, this is we're always be in the same spot.
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: We always are, you know, and we're used to it,
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: and we control our own destiny. We get to play
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: all these teams again, and so we just take a
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: one game at a time. Starting Buffalo on Sunday night
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: at Peikor.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati is an early three point favorite against the five
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and three Bills, who have outscored their opponent by eighty
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: six points. That's actually the biggest margin of any team
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Three of Buffalo's wins were by twenty
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: eight or more. Now time for the radio guys recap.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson got it it out today. Dave Lapham goted
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it out today with a congested nasal cavity and a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: horse voice. I'm not going to attach you too much
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: in this postgame wrap up, but my big takeaway today
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: or biggest takeaway there were several, is that this was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the offense we've been hoping to see all along. They
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: left some points on the board and still put thirty
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: one points on the board against the San Francisco team
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that has not given up more than twenty three.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a heck of performance, you know. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: talking with Joe Burrow after the game in the locker room,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: you know, I said, man, you're back.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you looked unbelievable moving around. He goes.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: You know, he said, I worked so hard on my
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: overall athleticism in the offseason.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Then you know, I was geared up and ready to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: have a big year and couldn't do anything.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: So now I'm excited to show you know what I
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: had done in the off season getting ready to have
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: this type of year or so look out. Twenty eight
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: to thirty two, three touchdowns, no interceptions and you know
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: the way the offensive lineman we're talking about it when
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: you know they're paid to play and they cover guys
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: and pressure's gonna get there when joking, you know, break
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: break out of the pocket and pick up first downs
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: It's money. I mean it's a tough deal.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Forty three rushing yards to go with all those passing yards.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Today he refused to slide. I'd like to see him
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: protect himself a little bit more, but man, was he good.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: He was. I mean, he just he sees the whole
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: field so clearly, so quickly. It really is. It's a
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: joy to watch. The guy performed his craft.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: You know, he does it at such a high level,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: and his teammates respond, you know, to it such a
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: such a big way as well.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I mean red zone.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Five times in the red zone, score four touchdowns, convert
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: eighty percent of the time. That was going to win
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: you games. Had the turnover unfortunately the other opportunity, but
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: pretty darn good in.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: The red zone.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Eighty seven rushing yards for Joe Mixon plus twenty three
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: receiving yards, so he had more than one hundred yards
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of offense. That's another missing piece that hasn't been there
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to that extent, and.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: An efficiency was there. He averaged over five yards of carry.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: It wasn't like he busted one for fifty and then
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: you know the other fifteen carries didn't do anything.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Was pretty consistent in terms of hit a lot of
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: five to you know, twelve.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Yard carries that were very, very important and significant down
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: and when the Bengals were killing it on first down,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: like they were a lot of his plays, his runs
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: and just catches out of the backfield screens and I
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: mean they were all huge in that first down production.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Big game for Jamar Chase with ten catches for one
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: hundred yards, but Joe Burrow used all the weapons today.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I mean IRV Smith unfortunately fumbled at the five yard line,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: but he got a lot of guys involved. And again
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that's why they were seventh to the NFL in scoring
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: last year. It's because they didn't rely too heavily on
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, no question.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Jamar is going to attract a
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: lot of attention, but it's going to create opportunities for others,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: There's no doubt about it. And T Higgins starting to
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: round back into form a little bit. You know he
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: made some plays down the field. And the good thing,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: like we always talk about and see out of these receivers,
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: they block for each other. You know, when there's a
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: receiver screen, the one that's enjoying receiving the football gets
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: the benefit of all out efforts from the other two blocking.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: And that's that's a good thing to see. I mean,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: those guys play at such a high level. They compliment
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: each other so well on and off the football field.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: That's a special brout.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You played, so you wudn't know how this stuff works.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: The forty nine Ers linebacker duo is generally touted is
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the best in the league. Logan Wilson and Jermaine Pratt
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: both came up with huge interceptions today. How much do
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you think it means to those two guys to do
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: what they did on the same field as those other
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: two linebackers.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I think a lot, dam I really do.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think they've got a lot of respect
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: for those two linebackers. Warner in Greenlaw are both great players.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: But I do think that in Lou Aromo's system, Logan
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Wilson and Jermaine Pratt was hugely important. And I don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: think I don't think lou Anroumo would trade him for anybody.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: And he feels, you know that that they complete his
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: defense and and they really respect him and they respect
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: their teammates, and they got they got a great duo,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: a great cane, and those two guys feed off each other,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: and it's just a good, a good chemistry, a good
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: a good dynamic all the way through that defense.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So the Bengals have won three in a row and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: four out of five, but there's a little bit of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: an asterisk before today because the Rams aren't very good.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals only have one win. In Seattle game the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: offense completely, you know, turned off the faucet and the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: defense had to bail them out. Is this win different
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to the players and coaches?
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I think so because I hadn't lost in eleven games. Here,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: it's the quarterback fort he hadn't lost in eight starts here,
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: he's eight to zero. So this is a very tough
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: place to play. Croud noise is a factor. They never
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: trailed and they end up winning the game by fourteen points.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: So I think it's a huge statement that they made,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: and I think this is the game.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a little bit of a springboard
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: form or natter starts stacking some winnings.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Let's get on the plane and go home.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I hear that I'm gonna gard with some hot salt
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: water when they get there.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Hudos to Lap for playing hurt. We look forward to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: having him back at full strength on Sunday night. Now
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: time for this week's fun fact segment, where you get
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to know the person under the pads. Time for some
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: fun facts with punter Brad Robbins. Let's start with the stash.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Why do you, at age twenty four go with kind
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of the old prospectors mustache?
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: You know, A long story short. I feel like the
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: attention to detail is very high. It's a constant reminder
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: to always have a touch into detail, especially as a
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: specialist in my line of work. You know, having that
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: attention to detail is huge for the position.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: You also have a shaved head. Did you start losing
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: your hair at some point or is this strictly voluntary.
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: I wanted to make it to twenty one years old
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: and have my first beverage with hair, but I was
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: losing my hair around like eighteen nineteen getting the parking
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: spots up there, so I decided as soon as I
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: turned twenty one, talk to our snappers, cheese Mini's with
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: the commanders right now. And I texted him late at night.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: I was like, Hey, we're going to shave my head tomorrow.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I haven't had a bad hair day in thirty years.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And you save money on
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: you know, haircuts every year, and you spend about like
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: forty bucks on razors a year.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: In your set, we're chatting with Brad Robbins. You're from
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the Columbus area.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Your father and grandfather were Bengals fans, right.
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: That's right, that's right. Yeah, from what I remember, my
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: dad told me that my granddad used to take him
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: down here to camps at some point. But yeah, they're
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: huge Bengals fans.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your athletic career. You lettered in football, basketball, baseball,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and soccer in high school. Were you close to playing
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: baseball in college?
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely. I thought that was gonna be my long
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: term sport growing up. I wanted to play in the MLB,
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: and originally I was committed to University of Nevada Reno,
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: and I was going to play both when I originally
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: committed there, that was the idea. But yeah, some of
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: the stuff fell out of place and ended up at Michigan,
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: which was you know, couldn't have been better for me.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It all turned out well. During training camp, you ran
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of fake punts and you were scooting down
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the sideline. How fast are you?
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know. I don't like to brag or
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: talk about myself, but you know I'm more than you know,
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: more than a punter. Like to pride myself as an
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: athletic guy, and I'd be curious to see if we
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: timed a forty what it would be, but I believe
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: it would be pretty quick, like for sixish.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Did they ever let you try a fake punt at Michigan?
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: We were a little conservative by nature. We had one
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: fake punt that was called It was the last punt
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: of my career at Michigan against TCU, and the look
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: wasn't there. I ended up punting it down the field.
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: But as far as scripted fake punts, we had a
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: bunch on deck, but never ran any in a game.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: We're chatting with Brad Robbins. You spent six years at Michigan,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: including a season that you missed due to injury. What
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: was your favorite part about being a college student in
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: ann Arbor, I.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: Would just say, really the atmosphere and the people. It's
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: very much a college town, and there is like a
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: sense of togetherness and belongingness when you're a member of
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: that community. And by the end of it, you know
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: you're there for six years. A lot of the professors
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: know who you are, and a lot of the people
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: know who you are, which is really fun. And I
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: managed to have really good relationships with my professors, who
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: you know, emailed me once I got the call to
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: come here. You can wish me congrats, but it's really
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: it's really cool to just get to know people of
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: all different you know, kind of walks of life and
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: different backgrounds, right, and have different expertise and different things.
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: You get to learn so much from so many different people,
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: and I figured that's that's probably one of my favorite
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: things from being there.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: All right, you mentioned the call to come here. Let's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: talk about the famous phone call when Zach Taylor called.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: It sounded like you didn't really think it was him.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Did you have reason to believe you were being pranked?
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah? You know, being from Columbus, people typically like my
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: peers either went to Cincinnati, Ohio State or OU and
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: I had a decent amount of close friends that went
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: to Cincinnati and had my number, and you know, I
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: kind of at first had reason to believe, like, maybe
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: this was fake. But there was also the story of
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: like Moody, like my kicker, uh, he pranked his mom
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: and dad and faked a phone call, So that was
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: already in my head like, oh, you know, there might
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: be something fishy here. But by the end of it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: I was fairly confident that it was him. And then
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: I saw my name pop up on the screen and
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: I was like, ye okay, yeah for sure.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So for the friends who were candidates to potentially prank you,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: did they find it amusing when they watched the video?
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: I'm sure they did. I never directly talked to him
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: about it, but I'm sure they know who they are,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: but yeah, definitely. And you know, they went to UC
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: came down here. They're huge Bengals fans, so you know
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: they're excited to come to games and stuff too.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: All right, some wild card topics now with punter Brad Robbins.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Tell me one thing about you could be a hidden talent,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: could be an unusual interest, something about you that very
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: few people.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: I play guitar, that's one thing, and I'm currently like
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: studying music theory. Just pretty interesting. Picked it up. My
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: granddad who passed away, ended up giving me his guitar
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: and picked it up, started playing it. Had lessons when
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: I was a kid, but now it's more important to
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: me since I've had that guitar but learned steroid to
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: have them and which is like the typical thing when
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: you get a guitar, you're like, oh, I want to
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: play that, but really challenged myself and I'm now getting
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: the solo down to it too, which is pretty difficult.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: So I'm learning to play it and it's entirety.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Is that your go to song if you're looking to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: impress somebody.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: I don't know, I like to I consider myself more
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: of a campfire guitarist right now, so just like pretty
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: decent add a decent amount of things. So when people
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: request stuff, I could easily pick it up and learn it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: But yeah, learning to play by ear, I feel like
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: that's that's something that I want to get better at,
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: in something that I've been learning.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: On the flip side, give me something that you're terrible.
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: At well, So let's see, Evan and Darren have been
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: getting on me about when I'm shaving my head. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: miss one spot on the back of my head every
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: single time, So I'd say I'm pretty consistently bad at
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: getting that spot on the back of my head. But no,
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: that's a yeah, I'd say that's the thing that pops
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: up in my head.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: All right. A lot of fans here in Ohio know
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that when the Buckeyes beat Michigan, the players get pins
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: in the shape of gold pants. You won your last
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: two games in that rivalry. What do Michigan players get
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: when they beat Ohio State.
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they came up with these medallions. They're pretty cool,
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: but each of them had different kind of meetings on them.
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: I wish I should bring them in. I could bring
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: them in, but my idea, guys were coming up with
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: different ideas because there wasn't really anything got right there.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: There was no background on it. My idea was their
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: defense is like the silver bullets, right, So I was
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: figuring we'd get like a little silver bulleted amulet, but
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: that didn't end up didn't end up happening, So we
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: got those little amulets. One says Team one forty three
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: and has like a helmet, one of them has a
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: sword and shovel, and all of them have different meanings
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: in their own ways.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: That first win that you played in against Ohio State
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: ended a lengthy streak for the Wolverines. What was that moment?
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: Like, Yeah, it was pretty surreal. Couldn't have scripted it
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: any better, really, Like the weather was awesome. It was snowing,
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: you know, sideways, windy as heck, And you know, I
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: think just as a team, we played really solid and
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: actually you know, believed in each other and trusted each
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: other to do their jobs right or our jobs, so
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: there's really no doubt in our minds, like as long
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: as you do your job, like the rest will take
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: care of itself. It will all fall into place. So
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: my memory of that or the end of that game
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: is looking at Cayden Kolosari's one of my you know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: good friends, and he's a special teams guys. Me and
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: him looking at each other as soon as the clock's
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: wunning down and celebrating pretty hard, and then the field
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: Russian is uh, it was pretty cool. That was the
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: first time I had experienced that. But yeah, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: I had to put my helmet on, you have your
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: helmet off, tons of people smack in your head and stuff.
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: So no, it was good. I wish I could live
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: that moment again, but it's a really good memory.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Final question, This one's a little bit deep.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: If you could meet anybody in history living or deceased,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: could be an athlete, entertainer, statesman, whoever it might be,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Who would that person be?
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: I guess the first person I would want to meet
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: right now, who's like living, guy by the name of
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bonnie Fair, super really cool musician,
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: has developed, you know, with like his music engineer, a
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: couple different things that you know people are using, even
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: guys like Kanye West are using, which is really cool
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: for somebody who's passed away, probably like a famous poet
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: of some kind, just to kind of see what time
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: was like back in the day and why they wrote
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: what they wrote, because now it's all up to interpretation.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: There's no direct contact, right, So I feel like that
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: would be pretty sweet. But yeah, I guess those would
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: be like two people that I'd want to meet.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: A very eclectic combo rad Appreciate your time, best of
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: luck this season. Great to have you in Cincinnati.
