00:00So many times you see quarterbacks that want to take deep shots, but they're sort of forced.
00:08Like, he seems to throw it every time it's the absolutely correct thing to do.
00:15And so, as a coach, what that does for you is it allows you to call a lot of deep
00:21passes.
00:22And, you know, Atlanta played a lot of bump and run, man-to-man on Jamar Chase.
00:25Like, you guys are out of your mind. Like, what are you freaking doing?
00:29Yeah, yeah. I was like, stop it. What are you guys doing?
00:32But, yeah, and so I think that, first, the amount of time that he puts into his craft is very
00:40evident.
00:41I mean, this guy, he just doesn't miss the opportunities, if you will, and take advantage.
00:48But they also have this great combination with Gesicki being enough of a threat going down the middle of the
00:55field
00:55that they work the middle of the field better than a lot of the combinations that I see.
01:02And when you have Jamar and you have Tee and you have the catch-and-run ability that those guys
01:07have,
01:08I mean, probably my favorite part of watching the Bengals play is when Jamar gets the ball in the open
01:14field.
01:15I'm like, they cannot tackle this guy.
01:18I mean, and you look at him, and he's built like a tank from the waist down.
01:23It sounds weird, but a lot of football people look.
01:27Anyone that's seen him knows what you're talking about.
01:29Yeah, I mean, you know.
01:30But so he is just so powerful.
01:34He's like a running back from the waist down.
01:36And you watch people bounce off of him.
01:39I've seen so many plays where he catches like a wide receiver screen out there.
01:44And one time against Baltimore, and he's like, four, you know, went through four guys that were right in front
01:49of him.
01:50So, I mean, it's really exciting.
01:53I hope it's as good as I think it is.
01:55I will say this.
01:56The Pittsburgh Steelers on defense are as hot as the Bengals are on offense.
02:02And so many times when we talk about football, we all love to talk about the Bengals and the Packers
02:09and the high-flying offense.
02:10But so many times it's Jalen Warren and the way that they're running the football right now.
02:15It's freaky how well they're running it and how they're playing defense.
02:18And they will have some schemes to get to Joe Burrow.
02:23And then it's going to be Amarius Mims and Orlando Brown and, you know, those guys.
