1 00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:20,360 This is the story of three quarterbacks who all started the 2024 NFL season 2 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,400 with the same goal, hoisting the Lombardi trophy. 3 00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:32,759 Of course, wanting it only gets you so far. 4 00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:40,070 Just ask Joe Burrow, who in his second year as a pro, fell three points shy of 5 00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:41,070 Super Bowl title. 6 00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:45,430 23 -20 Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals. 7 00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:51,230 In his four NFL seasons, he's become one of the league's biggest stars. 8 00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:59,230 But his most recent season 9 00:00:59,230 --> 00:01:01,290 was cut short by a wrist injury. 10 00:01:01,930 --> 00:01:03,510 The question is, are you worried about Joe? 11 00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:06,290 I'm not worried about Joe Burrow going for 5 ,000 yards. 12 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:07,488 The riff? 13 00:01:07,490 --> 00:01:10,530 Pretty good, isn't it? How can we get back to the Super Bowl? 14 00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:12,990 That's the pressure of being a quarterback in the NFL. 15 00:01:13,210 --> 00:01:16,390 You know how much you mean to your team and to your teammates, and you want to 16 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:17,390 be out there for those people. 17 00:01:18,050 --> 00:01:24,110 Burrow enters 2024 with his sights set on Super Bowl redemption, and he's not 18 00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:25,170 the only one. 19 00:01:28,210 --> 00:01:29,210 Jared Goff. 20 00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:36,420 First overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, and another Super Bowl runner 21 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,400 That was in 2018. 22 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,920 And just three years later, L .A. traded him to Detroit. 23 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:51,520 In the three years since, golf and the Lions have been reborn. 24 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,380 Giving the city of Detroit a chance to root for a contender. 25 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920 Now the Lions, we know they're Super Bowl or Bucs, and it's Super Bowl or 26 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,740 We have very high expectations from the outside looking in. 27 00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:08,380 You got to keep a level head, babe. Got to keep a level head. 28 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,419 But we have high expectations for ourselves. 29 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,600 Our goal is to win Super Bowl, and that's the bottom line. 30 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,660 And then there's Kirk Cousins. Kirk going to fire left side. 31 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Touchdown Atlanta! 32 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Everybody needs a little rush in their lives, and I get mine when I go to break 33 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,200 books to get my hair cut. 34 00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:31,410 Two years after we captured his 2022 season, a 12 -year veteran is back. 35 00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:37,350 Same Kirk, different story. 36 00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:41,850 I think Kirk looked incredibly rusty and like an older quarterback who hadn't 37 00:02:41,850 --> 00:02:43,590 played in months because he popped his Achilles. 38 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:50,870 From recovery to relocation, Cousins enters 2024 taking nothing for 39 00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:51,870 granted. 40 00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:56,330 The big question for me was, how long is it going to take to get to a place 41 00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:59,150 where we feel like we've been playing together for years? 42 00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:02,390 This 43 00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:09,290 life is 44 00:03:09,290 --> 00:03:13,530 definitely... Not normal. 45 00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:19,610 The fucking course that's happened. 46 00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:23,140 We went out, and I actually cut this one down out in the woods. 47 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120 Three quarterbacks. Oh, why don't I help you pick out your outfit? 48 00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:28,800 With three unique styles. 49 00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:30,680 I'm not trying to push this on you. 50 00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:33,140 It's just a very chic fashion decision. 51 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,940 With one common goal. 52 00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:39,000 Cheers. They're built to win the Super Bowl, so the only threat to the Detroit 53 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,780 Lions are themselves. 54 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:42,860 That is not how a leg should be going. 55 00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:46,420 Burrow is arguably on any Sunday the best quarterback in the league. 56 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,100 If we make the playoffs, I'll be happy as a clam. 57 00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:52,480 The cousins that we are watching right now. No, no, no, no, no. Honestly. 58 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,740 It looks like the end to me. Each of them playing the hardest position in 59 00:03:57,740 --> 00:03:58,740 sports. 60 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:26,120 Ooh, messed up. 61 00:04:26,340 --> 00:04:27,340 Gotta restart. 62 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,560 I'm no good at that one. 63 00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:52,540 You get bored sometimes.

He has started his career at Ohio State, didn't work 77 00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:05,630 there, transfers to LSU, and wins the Heisman, wins the national championship. 78 00:06:06,090 --> 00:06:09,410 This is what I wanted to do from the time I was five years old, was hoist 79 00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:10,410 trophy. 80 00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:17,230 And when I got drafted, you know, Athens County area, it was kind of just felt 81 00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:18,930 like I had some unfinished business back here. 82 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,080 You know, my career didn't go the way that I wanted it to at my first stop in 83 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,920 college.

Out for the remainder of the season with a torn ligament in his 128 00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:33,309 Watch the game. You saw him wincing on the sideline. As crushing, as 129 00:08:33,309 --> 00:08:34,730 as you could possibly imagine. 130 00:08:35,150 --> 00:08:37,390 I tore my scaphoid lunate ligament. 131 00:08:39,630 --> 00:08:42,169 No other quarterback that we could find that had it. 132 00:08:43,330 --> 00:08:45,150 If you've got to get surgery, you've got to get surgery. 133 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:46,590 That's the way that I look at it. 134 00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:50,810 Joe Burrow working his way back from a wrist injury that forced him to miss the 135 00:08:50,810 --> 00:08:53,050 last seven games of the 2023 season. 136 00:08:53,830 --> 00:08:57,330 But he is ready to remind everyone in the league what he can do. 137 00:09:03,170 --> 00:09:04,170 Something like that. 138 00:09:04,810 --> 00:09:08,110 I think I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano because I thought it 139 00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:08,939 was cool. 140 00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:12,240 Never really had an excuse to do it. I figured it would help with the wrist a 141 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,320 little bit, whether it does or it doesn't. I don't know, but it couldn't 142 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,880 Do you feel there's a pause to you guys lifting? 143 00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:23,640 Yeah, I'm always excited about it.

I 153 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,340 don't know how else to say it. Sometimes you just need a little spice in your 154 00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:05,340 life, I would say. 155 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:07,260 He's the most popular figure we have. 156 00:10:07,610 --> 00:10:09,250 here in Cincinnati and Ohio. 157 00:10:10,830 --> 00:10:14,850 And so everything he does is scrutinized and everyone's paying attention to.

That's a loss of three. 191 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,880 Turbo cut. 192 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,340 Burrow dropped. 193 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,560 And the Patriots put the pressure on Joe Burrow. 194 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,960 Burrow looking. 195 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,200 End zone. 196 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,460 Got a sticky touchdown. 197 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,300 Cincinnati. There is a question, though. Did he control it? 198 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,340 It is not a touchdown. It's incomplete. 199 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:32,900 See the ball right there? 200 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,079 It's out. 201 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,380 Points are off the board. 202 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,160 180. 203 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,720 The throw caught. 204 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,280 Hudson lost the ball. 205 00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:50,300 Looks like a touchdown instead of a turnover. 206 00:12:54,510 --> 00:12:58,670 And the Bengals are going to lose at home on opening day to a team that won 207 00:12:58,670 --> 00:13:00,850 games and had the third pick in the draft. 208 00:13:07,850 --> 00:13:10,870 We got married this summer, June 22nd. 209 00:13:11,570 --> 00:13:14,590 Yeah, now we're sending out some thank you notes.

I put it on the wrong corner. 222 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,920 Oh. 223 00:13:57,220 --> 00:14:00,440 No, I think that was the right. Oh, it was upside down. Can you just let me do 224 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,560 my thing here? 225 00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,240 He was at our wedding, too. 226 00:14:06,580 --> 00:14:08,920 I couldn't have imagined the day without him. 227 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,480 I saw him before I saw Jared. 228 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,800 I walked down the aisle to him almost. 229 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,280 And then when we were walking back out, they let him out, and he came up to us. 230 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,960 For the longest time, he told me I was Quincy's stepmom. 231 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,140 And then when he proposed to me, he told me I am Quincy's real mom. 232 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Quincy decided he wanted to call her mom, so I said okay. 233 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,080 I earned it. 234 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,600 The 2016 NFL Draft is now officially open. 235 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,540 I was picked first overall by the Rams in 2016. 236 00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:47,230 You hear your name called. You walk on the stage. It's all kind of a blur after 237 00:14:47,230 --> 00:14:51,250 that, but such a great memory for all of us. We met in 2018. 238 00:14:52,070 --> 00:14:56,650 Jared was playing for the Rams. We just hit it off right away, and they won a 239 00:14:56,650 --> 00:14:59,430 million games. We started at 8 -0, I think. We met right before the season 240 00:14:59,430 --> 00:15:01,930 started. First of all, that was a good luck charm, obviously. We just win every 241 00:15:01,930 --> 00:15:02,930 game. 242 00:15:04,130 --> 00:15:08,310 The confidence that Jared Goff is delivering the football right now, he 243 00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:10,770 feel there's a spot anywhere that he can't put the ball. 244 00:15:11,790 --> 00:15:14,610 Best quarterback performance I've seen in my seven years in the league in 245 00:15:14,610 --> 00:15:16,370 person. Very, very good, man. 246 00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:19,890 You know, that's just how it goes. And then you go to the Super Bowl. Very, 247 00:15:19,890 --> 00:15:24,470 difficult game to watch at the end of a very, very incredible and exciting 248 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:26,270 season for the Los Angeles Rams. 249 00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:29,890 Yeah. You know, it's just fun and roses and dandy. 250 00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:36,370 And then you realize that it's not always like that, but... Turbo set! And 251 00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:39,550 Green Bay Packers moving on to the NFC Championship. 252 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,100 So 2020 season happens. 253 00:15:42,860 --> 00:15:46,900 Three weeks after the last game of the season, get a call from Sean and really 254 00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:50,080 did not expect anything. He lets me know, you know, they're trading me to 255 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,780 Detroit. And I'm like, oh, well, OK, all right. 256 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:59,820 What the hell? You know what's happening? And I would say about 30 257 00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:02,300 that phone call, it was on Twitter. 258 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,380 It is monster news. A blockbuster trade in the NFL. 259 00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:13,060 Lions have traded quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Rams for Jared Goff and 260 00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:16,460 whole bunch of draft picks. Sean McVay wanted a new quarterback. 261 00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:21,260 This is a boon for the Rams. I don't know if Jared Goff going to the Lions is 262 00:16:21,260 --> 00:16:24,860 going to make him better. In fact, the Lions aren't very good. And compared to 263 00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:26,560 the Rams, it's not even close. 264 00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:31,320 You feel like you've been betrayed or like you're not wanted. 265 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,940 I think for me, ultimately, it was the fact that there wasn't a conversation 266 00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:40,860 and that there wasn't like a, hey, we're thinking about moving on type of thing. 267 00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:41,940 There was nothing. 268 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,860 You know, you wish that it wasn't such a blind side and you wish that there was 269 00:16:45,860 --> 00:16:52,720 some sort of maturity, I guess, to have that 270 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:58,400 conversation and to be able to let me know what's going on and how things went 271 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,420 down and why this is happening. 272 00:17:02,410 --> 00:17:07,349 It was my first real taste of true adversity, and your career is kind of at 273 00:17:07,349 --> 00:17:08,349 fork in the road. 274 00:17:08,670 --> 00:17:14,250 The day I get traded, I was at my house with my buddies. I keep getting a phone 275 00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:18,930 call from a number I don't have saved, and I'm not answering it. I'm like, hey, 276 00:17:19,109 --> 00:17:22,069 I'm dealing with some stuff right now. I'm not answering this phone call. 277 00:17:23,790 --> 00:17:27,770 My agent texts me, hey, Brad's trying to call you. Just answer that. And I'm 278 00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:30,990 like, oh, shoot, okay. I answer the phone, and Brad sounds like he's out of 279 00:17:30,990 --> 00:17:33,770 breath. And, you know, he's, Jared, Jared, you know. 280 00:17:34,530 --> 00:17:36,050 Oh, thank God we got you on the phone. 281 00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:39,130 We're so excited to have you here. We're so excited. 282 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:45,790 When we got the opportunity to land him, it was a no -brainer because I had an 283 00:17:45,790 --> 00:17:49,230 idea of what we were going to start going through, and I knew how resilient 284 00:17:49,230 --> 00:17:53,050 was and just thought that he'd be a good fit for the journey we're about to 285 00:17:53,050 --> 00:17:56,150 take. You know, Dan gets on the phone and says the same thing. You know, we 286 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:58,410 can't believe we were able to get this done, and we can't wait to see it. 287 00:17:58,970 --> 00:18:04,290 I remember the call, and I remember my excitement. And I just, I wanted to make 288 00:18:04,290 --> 00:18:07,230 sure he understood how excited we were, how excited I was. 289 00:18:07,470 --> 00:18:08,650 You're going to be part of the foundation. 290 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:10,810 We're going to build this from the ground up. 291 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:13,730 You're going to be a huge part of this, and you're ours. 292 00:18:14,250 --> 00:18:16,950 Like, you belong with us. We're going to be tied to the hip. 293 00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:21,390 It kind of brought me from this moment of, like, picking up the pieces to, 294 00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:27,700 reinvigorated with this energy of like oh like this is what it feels like to to 295 00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:33,080 truly be wanted and to have you know these guys behind you and I hadn't felt 296 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,480 that in quite some time I was going to dinner with my friends that night I 297 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,020 remember you called me and you told me the news I remember you were like Will 298 00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:41,859 you come with me? 299 00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:43,980 And I was like, yeah, Detroit. 300 00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,160 I don't even know. Like, I didn't even know. I've never been to Michigan. 301 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,340 I didn't hesitate, but I also did not know what I was getting myself into in a 302 00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:55,160 good way and a bad way. I can't imagine, like, having stayed in L .A. that whole 303 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,160 time. 304 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,960 A lot of people saw it as, like, I was being cast away or I was being sent to 305 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,680 career to die. And I think, you know, a lot of people in my former organization 306 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,860 may have thought that as well. 307 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,200 For me, I saw it as what an incredible opportunity to be somewhere that has 308 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,180 never won and has never been to the top of the mountain. And how incredible 309 00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:22,680 would it be if we're able to build this thing into a winner? 310 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,420 I mean, that's my guy. You know, that's my quarterback. 311 00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:28,560 Every head coach has got a quarterback. If you want to have success, you better 312 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,359 have a quarterback. 313 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:32,960 And I got one, Jared Goff. To be able to be with a head coach who's a first 314 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,940 -time head coach and a GM who's a first -time GM. 315 00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:39,660 be able to be the first decision they made when they got here and prove them 316 00:19:39,660 --> 00:19:44,680 right. And, you know, how great of an opportunity is that? And so I'm trying 317 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:51,540 to cry, but it's been so 318 00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:56,560 incredible to build with them. But that moment of hearing them on the phone and 319 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,380 knowing that the opportunity that I had here was special. 320 00:20:02,730 --> 00:20:07,070 I go to every single home game at least, but the first year in Detroit, I missed 321 00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:12,110 a game. It was against the Minnesota Vikings, and I was going to shoot Sports 322 00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:17,170 Illustrated, and it was actually my first shoot as a model for them, so it 323 00:20:17,170 --> 00:20:19,730 really huge deal, and Jared was so supportive. 324 00:20:20,850 --> 00:20:24,710 We were 0 -10 -1 at that point and just trying to find any way to win. We were 325 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:26,310 kind of joking, you know, what if we win this one? 326 00:20:26,530 --> 00:20:28,030 You're not going to be there for it. 327 00:20:28,930 --> 00:20:30,510 First victory of the year on the line. 328 00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:32,960 This will be the final play of the game. 329 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,880 The Lions, 11 yards from the end zone. 330 00:20:36,220 --> 00:20:39,660 They can win it with a touchdown. We were on the last shot of the day, the 331 00:20:39,660 --> 00:20:42,920 setting, so you have to, like, get that last shot before the light goes away. 332 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,720 And we were out there, and all of a sudden, I hear everybody like, and I'm 333 00:20:47,740 --> 00:20:48,740 what? 334 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,800 Goff's got it.

Maybe I was bad luck that year. 347 00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:37,649 No. 348 00:21:37,650 --> 00:21:38,650 Always good luck. 349 00:21:49,070 --> 00:21:50,390 What did you do with your time? 350 00:21:51,210 --> 00:21:54,890 I read books and I watched the Barbie movie. 351 00:21:55,490 --> 00:21:57,090 The what movie?

I know. 362 00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:44,340 I was aware of the benefit of stem cells and how it can help with healing and 363 00:22:44,340 --> 00:22:49,440 recovery, and I had been twice to Antigua to get stem cells just for 364 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,440 health benefits. 365 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,520 I don't fully understand all that goes into it. It's a little bit above my 366 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,560 But stem cells, you're allowed to harvest in the United States, but you're 367 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,760 allowed to then put them into someone in the United States. And so they get the 368 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,440 stem cells from the United States. 369 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,840 Then they have to go offshore, whether that's to Mexico or to South America or 370 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,680 to the Caribbean, and then you can get them, whether it's an IV or a direct 371 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,480 injection, to the site of injury. 372 00:23:17,380 --> 00:23:20,960 At Green Bay, playing the Packers early in the fourth quarter. 373 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:43,380 I get stepped on all the time, so it just felt like so many snaps feel where 374 00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:47,280 you're in a dirty pocket and somebody's cleats get you on the back of the heel. 375 00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:51,720 And I went to walk off to the sideline because we were going to have to kick 376 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,140 field goal, and I just couldn't feel the ground underneath my foot. I went to 377 00:23:56,140 --> 00:24:00,840 press like you would always press to walk, and I couldn't. It was like if you 378 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080 were to try to press on a gas pedal and you couldn't. 379 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000 I don't know, my ankles. 380 00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:12,080 Inside of it, outside of it. 381 00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:14,660 The back. 382 00:24:15,780 --> 00:24:20,680 And my mind was going to, you know, can I turn around in six days and play next 383 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,680 week? 384 00:24:22,780 --> 00:24:26,580 When he got hurt, I tried to stay calm. I didn't know the whole story of what 385 00:24:26,580 --> 00:24:31,280 had happened. So I'm on my phone just trying to get updates and ask my family, 386 00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:33,000 what do you think, what are they saying on the TV? 387 00:24:33,740 --> 00:24:36,640 Just what is this going to mean was running through my head. 388 00:24:38,730 --> 00:24:43,330 Our team foot and ankle surgeon, Dr. Coetzee, put his two fingers like this 389 00:24:43,330 --> 00:24:46,310 right on the Achilles as I was just sitting there on the table. 390 00:24:46,830 --> 00:24:53,090 And I remember him having his fingers there for a second at the most. 391 00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:56,590 He puts it up and he goes, it's torn. You're done. 392 00:24:57,290 --> 00:24:58,770 Sorry, man. That's all right. 393 00:24:59,070 --> 00:25:03,690 And then just kind of wondered what it would mean for the next several months 394 00:25:03,690 --> 00:25:05,590 and for next year, knowing that. 395 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,260 my contract with the Vikings was expiring after the season. And I 396 00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:13,280 praying, just talking to God in that moment. Because I've always felt that as 397 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,500 Christian, I've kind of done this football journey with God together. And 398 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,360 kind of the author of the story, and it's my job just to steward what he 399 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:22,580 me. And so I just kind of felt like, okay, God, you know, give me the 400 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,660 give me the grace to kind of handle what's next. 401 00:25:25,860 --> 00:25:29,980 The thought was that if I can get these stem cells, that maybe they'll make a 402 00:25:29,980 --> 00:25:31,640 difference for my healing. 403 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:33,360 This is hitting. 404 00:25:33,620 --> 00:25:34,640 So it must be working, right? 405 00:25:35,210 --> 00:25:36,410 Did we just give you Tylenol? 406 00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:39,230 No. I just asked him to get Tylenol. 407 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:41,150 I'm not to the point of Tylenol yet. 408 00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:43,130 Pain is just weakness leaving the body. 409 00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:47,730 It was one of many things we did just to try to help the healing process as best 410 00:25:47,730 --> 00:25:48,730 we could. 411 00:25:55,950 --> 00:25:58,570 You are leaning left quite a bit. Don't tell me that. 412 00:25:58,790 --> 00:25:59,790 Yep. 413 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,120 I think the toughest part for me during the entire rehab process was probably 414 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:10,780 twofold. It was sitting out because I just hadn't done that. And so watching 415 00:26:10,780 --> 00:26:17,680 NFL go on without you is a sobering reminder that you're not 416 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,680 that important. 417 00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:25,320 Secondly, I realize I'm not a very patient person, and I wanted this 418 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,700 heal much faster than it did. 419 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,660 You know the Claymation movie, Santa Claus is Coming to Town? The warlock, 420 00:26:31,660 --> 00:26:34,860 really creepy. He sings this song, just putting one foot in front of the other. 421 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,880 It hits in my head every time. 422 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:44,300 Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you'll be walking out the door. 423 00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:51,640 Soon you'll be practicing in phase three in minicamp. 424 00:26:55,500 --> 00:27:02,280 Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you'll be walking out 425 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,280 the door. 426 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,900 A fast -walking man is hard to beat. 427 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,660 A fast -walking man is hard to beat, is that what he says? 428 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,500 It's a great lyric. A slow -walking man is also hard to beat. 429 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,960 It's depending upon the phase in rehab you're in, you know? Put one foot in 430 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,560 front of the other. 431 00:27:23,930 --> 00:27:27,070 And soon you'll be walking across the floor. 432 00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:32,210 My expectation before getting hurt was that we're going to play in such a way 433 00:27:32,210 --> 00:27:33,770 that I'll be back as a Viking for a long time. 434 00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:38,330 But once I tore my Achilles, all that was up in the air. 435 00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:42,150 But what happens with him now? What does the future look like for Kirk? My 436 00:27:42,150 --> 00:27:46,930 anticipation is Cousins will have a strong market, even at age 35, coming 437 00:27:46,930 --> 00:27:47,930 a torn Achilles. 438 00:27:48,590 --> 00:27:50,450 Cooper's been my main receiver as of late. 439 00:27:50,950 --> 00:27:51,950 So I can... 440 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,060 Try to keep my touch and accuracy up. 441 00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:58,600 Great catch, Coop. 442 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,980 This is a dedication. 443 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,520 Kirk Cousins, treat the Super Bowl like the ocean and crawl and drag your way 444 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,520 there. 445 00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:10,420 If another team makes Cousins an offer that is more than the Minnesota Vikings 446 00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:15,780 offer, what do the Vikings do and then what does Cousins do? Between the RF 447 00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:19,720 therapy and the laser therapy, his scar is going to heal really nice. 448 00:28:21,770 --> 00:28:24,810 I think for Kirk, it's kind of like, all right, not just the amount of money per 449 00:28:24,810 --> 00:28:27,830 year, but like how many years are we talking about here? They told me that 450 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:31,990 rehab would be like the stock market, where you're kind of in a general trend 451 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:35,650 up, but some days are better than others. And I joke with them that since 452 00:28:35,650 --> 00:28:37,170 surgery, it's just been a bull market. 453 00:28:37,450 --> 00:28:39,830 Hey, Doc, good morning. How are you? Doing well. 454 00:28:40,730 --> 00:28:41,810 Not too much pain? 455 00:28:42,190 --> 00:28:43,750 No, pain has not been an issue. 456 00:28:44,030 --> 00:28:48,070 I really think you're a month ahead of schedule, but this looks wonderful. 457 00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:54,020 We just don't know where Cousins is going, and where he does go will 458 00:28:54,020 --> 00:28:55,020 so much. 459 00:28:57,020 --> 00:28:59,760 Bumpy starts for the Bengals to start this season in week one. 460 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:04,760 I mean, I don't want to totally overreact to a loss in week one. We've 461 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,000 Bengals team start slow. 462 00:29:06,380 --> 00:29:10,100 To me, there's going to be a couple of weeks where this group is starting to 463 00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:12,320 find their rhythm and get their things together. 464 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,530 At this point in the year, You're not really focused on what happened last 465 00:29:19,230 --> 00:29:22,910 I know how to handle myself mentally and lean on the people that I need to lean 466 00:29:22,910 --> 00:29:23,910 on. 467 00:29:25,270 --> 00:29:29,670 You know, when we're watching, we're wanting Joe to do well and the team to 468 00:29:29,890 --> 00:29:35,070 so we feel the pressure probably that he's going through, but he doesn't seem 469 00:29:35,070 --> 00:29:38,170 get as nervous as maybe we do during the game, so that's a good thing. 470 00:29:38,730 --> 00:29:43,730 When your dad is a college coach and your mom has been around football for a 471 00:29:43,730 --> 00:29:46,210 long time, you listen to them as much as you can. You can. 472 00:29:47,450 --> 00:29:51,830 They're the people in my life that allow me to focus on football as much as I 473 00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:53,210 can, and two are there for me. 474 00:29:53,450 --> 00:29:56,030 Robin, I don't think she's ever missed a game. 475 00:29:56,390 --> 00:29:59,950 And that's soccer, baseball. 476 00:30:00,970 --> 00:30:04,230 He ran some track, all those things. She never missed a game. 477 00:30:04,510 --> 00:30:08,010 I just spent a lot of time with her growing up. 478 00:30:09,290 --> 00:30:12,110 Dad was around a lot, but he was on the road recruiting. 479 00:30:12,530 --> 00:30:13,530 Feels like... 480 00:30:13,870 --> 00:30:16,750 Yesterday, but it also feels like so long ago. 481 00:30:17,490 --> 00:30:23,050 My mom, she was a school teacher, so she was getting up at 4 a .m., working out, 482 00:30:23,150 --> 00:30:28,870 making me breakfast, driving me to school, going to her school, driving me 483 00:30:28,870 --> 00:30:33,450 baseball games, an hour to AAU practice, to AAU tournaments on the weekend. 484 00:30:33,950 --> 00:30:35,210 Yeah, just a lot of... 485 00:30:36,060 --> 00:30:41,160 Things going on as he transitioned from being what we thought was a Division I 486 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,400 basketball player to the point where, yeah, I am going to be a football 487 00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:50,340 I was better at football, and I started lifting more and gaining weight, and I 488 00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:51,340 couldn't jump as high. 489 00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:55,100 I was fired up about it. 490 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,460 My dad was a coach at Ohio University. He was a defensive coordinator. 491 00:30:58,740 --> 00:31:02,640 It helped me shape my leadership, and it just allowed me to be comfortable in my 492 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,640 own skin and be myself. 493 00:31:04,780 --> 00:31:07,040 Those schedules are long, just like ours are now. 494 00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:11,520 But my mom was an all -star. She made me a priority. I always appreciated that. 495 00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:17,860 A lot of nights it was my mom and I watching whatever we watched, American 496 00:31:17,860 --> 00:31:23,380 or Biggest Loser. Biggest Loser. I loved the Biggest Loser. 497 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:30,780 After my sophomore season of football, I got my first offer from my 498 00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:33,200 dad's team. I didn't really know what that meant. 499 00:31:33,950 --> 00:31:39,110 Like, oh, my dad's team is offering me a scholarship because it's my dad's team. 500 00:31:39,290 --> 00:31:42,010 Like, I didn't really put too much stock into that. 501 00:31:42,450 --> 00:31:45,590 But then I started getting a bunch after that. 502 00:31:46,090 --> 00:31:52,630 And so then I kind of realized, okay, I probably have a better chance of being a 503 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:53,910 football player than a basketball player. 504 00:31:55,050 --> 00:32:00,970 I think my personality is quite a bit like my mom's. I think the 505 00:32:00,970 --> 00:32:02,410 athletic side. 506 00:32:02,910 --> 00:32:04,150 is more like my dad's side. 507 00:32:04,410 --> 00:32:10,270 My inability to fix things around my house is on my dad's side. 508 00:32:11,990 --> 00:32:17,950 I don't really like doing, like, laundry or dishes or anything. That probably 509 00:32:17,950 --> 00:32:21,330 comes from you doing everything for me. 510 00:32:21,630 --> 00:32:23,230 I was going to say, who does, right? 511 00:32:23,450 --> 00:32:28,230 But that's because I did it for you, which, in hindsight, I probably should 512 00:32:28,230 --> 00:32:31,870 taught you a little more how to do things by yourself. I'm going to know 513 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,640 I guess I know how to do them. I just don't like doing them. 514 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:36,959 That's fair. 515 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,020 I could do a load of laundry. 516 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,880 I don't know if I know how to work my laundry, my washing machine or dryer, 517 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,200 I'm sure I could figure it out. 518 00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:52,660 Let's be sharp here, fellas. Let's be sharp. Here we go. 519 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,300 Here we go. A wide fit to Dixie left. 520 00:32:56,030 --> 00:33:00,410 I still have the Detroit Lions prevailing. I don't think any of us 521 00:33:00,410 --> 00:33:03,090 surprised if they go to the Super Bowl this year. 522 00:33:03,590 --> 00:33:06,370 We have a lot of expectations this year. 523 00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:09,790 Our standards and our expectations internally are as high as ever. 524 00:33:12,450 --> 00:33:16,210 It's one thing being the hunters and the stat stack losers and the, you know, 525 00:33:16,210 --> 00:33:17,210 bad news bears. 526 00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:19,170 Now you're like one of the teams. 527 00:33:19,910 --> 00:33:23,210 Can you live up to the expectations? That's the biggest question. 528 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,520 First playoff home game for Detroit in more than 30 years. 529 00:33:28,060 --> 00:33:33,060 First down. That's going to do it. That's going to do it.

The Lions came out 569 00:36:00,230 --> 00:36:04,130 top. That was Detroit's first step in a playoff journey that took them all the 570 00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:08,470 way to the NFC Championship game.

Power hitter. 637 00:40:31,130 --> 00:40:37,170 I had a tough decision last March, you know, whether to stay in Minnesota. 638 00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:38,720 or whether to go elsewhere. 639 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:47,240 The biggest move of the day, Kirk Cousins goes from the Minnesota Vikings 640 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:48,260 Atlanta Falcons. 641 00:40:48,540 --> 00:40:54,340 The Falcons signing Kirk Cousins to a four -year, $180 million contract. 642 00:40:54,820 --> 00:40:58,080 Absolutely thrilled to be an Atlanta Falcon. 643 00:40:58,420 --> 00:41:02,720 Our family, my wife's family, have so many ties to Georgia, the great city of 644 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,840 Atlanta. We were married here in Roswell. 645 00:41:05,420 --> 00:41:09,460 Our younger son, Turner, was born in downtown Atlanta on Ted Turner Drive. 646 00:41:10,060 --> 00:41:11,480 There's a reason he's named Turner. 647 00:41:11,820 --> 00:41:14,540 This feels like home. We're so excited to be here. 648 00:41:16,460 --> 00:41:20,080 I don't know that any of it has really sunken in yet. I think it's a process 649 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,960 where things hit you over time. 650 00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:26,920 So watching Minnesota play on TV, preseason game without us, that was very 651 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,600 strange and kind of sad. 652 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,860 And, you know, they just go on without you. And like, oh, I didn't realize I 653 00:41:33,860 --> 00:41:34,860 going to feel. 654 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,760 weird about this and I'm sure like tomorrow will kind of be the same thing. 655 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,940 I heard somebody describing it as when you see someone dating the person you 656 00:41:45,940 --> 00:41:49,960 used to date in like high school or college you're like I used to throw to 657 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,700 Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson and now someone else is enjoying doing that 658 00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:54,700 that's interesting. 659 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,240 I was asked by the broadcasting crew for the game what about Atlanta made you 660 00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:01,780 want to leave Minnesota and I said 661 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,300 That question is the wrong question. I didn't want to leave Minnesota. There 662 00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:09,600 nothing about anywhere that made me want to leave Minnesota. We wanted to be in 663 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:10,600 Minnesota. 664 00:42:10,660 --> 00:42:15,120 But it became clear that we were going to be there year to year. 665 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,280 And that's what we didn't want. 666 00:42:17,580 --> 00:42:20,740 And at that point, we said, all right, we need to look elsewhere. If that's our 667 00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:25,000 only option, then we'll be back. And when we said, well, we looked around and 668 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,220 found there's an opportunity that would be a longer commitment. 669 00:42:27,460 --> 00:42:30,560 Would you be interested in giving us that longer commitment? They said. 670 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,400 nope, we're good with our offer. And I said, okay, you made my decision really 671 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,400 easy, you know. 672 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,460 Ended up signing with Atlanta and was pretty excited about the chance to get 673 00:42:40,460 --> 00:42:41,720 down there and start fresh. 674 00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:45,960 And then, you know, was pretty surprised when the NFL draft happened. 675 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:53,480 With the eighth pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons select 676 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,000 Michael Pinnock Jr. 677 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,360 Well, there it is. 678 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:58,680 Oh, white. 679 00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:04,420 That is the first surprise of the NFL draft, to say the least. 680 00:43:04,980 --> 00:43:11,540 And he is going to the place that just made a very expensive investment 681 00:43:11,540 --> 00:43:14,020 in a veteran quarterback. 682 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:21,240 I wasn't expecting us to take a quarterback so high. At the time, it 683 00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:24,680 had been a little bit misled, or certainly if I had the information 684 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,000 agency, it certainly would have affected my decision. I had no reason to leave 685 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,000 Minnesota. 686 00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:33,620 with how much we loved it there if both teams are going to be drafting a 687 00:43:33,620 --> 00:43:37,720 quarterback high but i've also learned in 12 years in this league that you're 688 00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:41,380 not entitled to anything it's all about being able to earn your spot and prove 689 00:43:41,380 --> 00:43:46,620 yourself kurt provides us a chance to go out and win the south he's fit all the 690 00:43:46,620 --> 00:43:50,220 mold as far as everything that we believe in from a character standpoint 691 00:43:50,220 --> 00:43:53,980 everything that we believe in from a decision -making standpoint and we knew 692 00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:56,340 gave ourselves an immediate chance when we picked up kurt 693 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,820 And we wanted to put ourselves in a position to maintain that excellence 694 00:44:01,820 --> 00:44:05,360 our next young product learning and playing behind them. 695 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,120 What did you guys see there? 696 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,780 Corner kind of played in between. 697 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,720 There's no really great way to do that, right? Particularly when you're talking 698 00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:15,920 about the quarterback position when there's only one guy that can play 699 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:16,920 throughout the season. 700 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:19,940 How different is it often? 701 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,180 It's different enough to feel like I'm starting over. 702 00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:29,280 One of the biggest changes would be the amount of motions we have. 703 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:35,080 I started noticing, whether it was 2023 or 2022, that Mike McDaniel in Miami was 704 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,580 using a lot of motions with Waddle and Tyreek Hill. And then coming here to 705 00:44:38,580 --> 00:44:42,300 Atlanta, I noticed as we installed plays this spring and in training camp, that 706 00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:47,460 just about every play had a motion of some kind or a shift or some way to try 707 00:44:47,460 --> 00:44:48,460 confuse the defense. 708 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,580 I sat down and I made a list of every single motion or shift in our offense. 709 00:44:51,700 --> 00:44:52,700 There's like 45. 710 00:44:53,770 --> 00:44:55,950 Different ways to move people around pre -snap. 711 00:44:56,810 --> 00:44:58,250 So that was a lot to learn. 712 00:44:59,230 --> 00:45:04,230 There's some things that are subtle but different enough that it can cause some 713 00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:08,530 real problems if you're not figuring that out. 714 00:45:14,210 --> 00:45:16,370 The season begins in Atlanta. 715 00:45:16,610 --> 00:45:19,210 The Kirk Cousins era begins for the Falcons. 716 00:45:20,060 --> 00:45:24,480 The energy in this building, the energy around the Falcons organization, they 717 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,300 feel that they have their answer at quarterback with Kirk Cousins. They 718 00:45:28,300 --> 00:45:31,660 that this roster is built to win and built to win now. 719 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,040 Let's go. Let's go. 720 00:45:37,340 --> 00:45:39,600 Let's go. There he goes. Let's go. 721 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,720 So here comes Kirk Cousins. 722 00:45:47,130 --> 00:45:50,210 And now he's going to do something we've not seen happen in almost a quarter 723 00:45:50,210 --> 00:45:54,710 century. The last quarterback to tear his Achilles and then start games the 724 00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:57,150 year, Trent Dilfer back in 2000. 725 00:46:00,070 --> 00:46:01,510 All right, man, one play at a time. 726 00:46:02,230 --> 00:46:07,150 One play at a time. My Achilles felt fine. I think what was challenging for 727 00:46:07,150 --> 00:46:09,410 was football didn't feel normal. 728 00:46:09,630 --> 00:46:13,810 You're with a new team. You're with a new system in a new home stadium. There 729 00:46:13,810 --> 00:46:15,250 was just so much that was different. 730 00:46:16,650 --> 00:46:19,610 Now, I do think we did start out well. 731 00:46:21,390 --> 00:46:25,110 Here's Kirk looking back now. He'll go to the left. Going to throw. 732 00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:27,970 Kirk! Touchdown, Atlanta leads! 733 00:46:30,430 --> 00:46:31,430 Yay! 734 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:39,950 And Kirk Cousins finds a lot of the child pets in the end zone. 735 00:46:54,540 --> 00:46:57,680 That's like where daddy goes to take a break so he can go potty. 736 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,080 Huddle, huddle, huddle. 737 00:47:00,460 --> 00:47:01,460 Huddle. 738 00:47:02,220 --> 00:47:03,220 Yeah. 739 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,480 Yeah, bump right. 740 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:06,960 Yep. 741 00:47:07,940 --> 00:47:08,940 Here we go, man. 742 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:10,560 Listen to me. 743 00:47:10,900 --> 00:47:13,720 Bundle right tight. F float, then F blast. 744 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,300 To two jet FG stucco. Silent one. Yeah. 745 00:47:17,940 --> 00:47:19,480 Here we go. Here we go. 746 00:47:27,530 --> 00:47:29,710 Pittsburgh says they have it, and T .J. Watt does. 747 00:47:31,230 --> 00:47:33,210 Second turnover of the ball game. 748 00:47:33,930 --> 00:47:35,450 I knew that was going to happen. 749 00:47:35,670 --> 00:47:40,450 So what happens is he has to send that motion before he gives the indicator to 750 00:47:40,450 --> 00:47:44,210 the right guard to tap the center. I mean, there's a lot going on here before 751 00:47:44,210 --> 00:47:45,210 the snap. 752 00:47:48,850 --> 00:47:49,850 It's a lot. 753 00:47:50,030 --> 00:47:52,590 Just operationally, it's just a lot to... 754 00:47:53,230 --> 00:47:56,870 to get the play in late and send the flow, then send the blast. Cadence, TJ 755 00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:58,510 Watts timing it off, trying to, you know what I mean? 756 00:48:00,170 --> 00:48:03,690 We're winning by one, but Daddy just accidentally gave the ball to the other 757 00:48:03,690 --> 00:48:08,570 team. So you know how in flag football you were leaning over and handing 758 00:48:08,570 --> 00:48:10,050 somebody the ball through your legs? 759 00:48:10,610 --> 00:48:16,370 So Daddy's football player friend was handing him the ball and he messed up 760 00:48:16,370 --> 00:48:18,710 he dropped it and the other team got the ball. 761 00:48:21,330 --> 00:48:22,630 I have to. 762 00:48:23,250 --> 00:48:24,770 Give the foot, then send you. 763 00:48:25,210 --> 00:48:28,070 I sent you and then gave the foot, and if I do that, we have no room for error. 764 00:48:28,210 --> 00:48:29,210 It's a fumble every time. 765 00:48:29,450 --> 00:48:32,670 It was just all week long I was paranoid I'm going to do it one time and it's 766 00:48:32,670 --> 00:48:33,670 going to screw it up, and it did. 767 00:48:36,290 --> 00:48:37,910 And the ball game will end. 768 00:48:38,290 --> 00:48:39,290 Pittsburgh a winner. 769 00:48:43,770 --> 00:48:46,030 It was a pretty rough first experience. 770 00:48:51,790 --> 00:48:53,050 Yeah, good job. Go green, man. 771 00:48:57,650 --> 00:49:01,870 There's just a lot of questions when you lose of, you know, is this who we're 772 00:49:01,870 --> 00:49:03,370 going to be? Are we going to be better? 773 00:49:04,550 --> 00:49:09,130 Kirk is not 100%. There's so much pressure on the Lions. The Bengals lose 774 00:49:09,130 --> 00:49:11,170 home to the Patriots. What are we doing? 775 00:49:12,670 --> 00:49:14,390 It's hard to play quarterback in this league. 776 00:49:16,630 --> 00:49:20,770 There's always plays that you want back. 777 00:49:24,379 --> 00:49:26,640 You felt like you could have made a better throw, a better decision. 778 00:49:29,540 --> 00:49:31,140 Those are every game, really. 779 00:49:31,380 --> 00:49:35,760 On Sunday, Joe Burrow said he didn't have an answer for the lack of offensive 780 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,740 rhythm the Bengals had against the Patriots. 781 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:43,420 164 yards passing, no touchdowns. How worried are you? Are they in a must -win 782 00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:45,500 week two? Is Joe Burrow in trouble? 783 00:49:45,820 --> 00:49:48,720 You're going to take the heat when you lose, and you're going to get all the 784 00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:49,720 credit when you win. 785 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,080 How I like it. 786 00:49:51,580 --> 00:49:53,000 Now, the Lions. Oh, yeah. 787 00:49:53,220 --> 00:49:56,880 We know they're Super Bowl. They're juggernaut. In a Super Bowl or a bus. 788 00:49:57,500 --> 00:50:00,000 Everybody's been talking about them as the best team. They are the favorites. 789 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,180 And just all the pressure on a team that's never been to a Super Bowl. 790 00:50:04,620 --> 00:50:11,400 As a quarterback, I'm not concerned with outside opinions, outside narratives. 791 00:50:12,660 --> 00:50:14,240 All I want to do is win a championship. 792 00:50:17,420 --> 00:50:19,380 It's my number one goal and all I think about. 793 00:50:21,420 --> 00:50:22,580 The Falcons are a good team. 794 00:50:23,060 --> 00:50:25,420 And Kirk Cousins kind of struggled this week. 795 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,500 And, you know, he's feeling it. 796 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,040 So many emotions. 797 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:31,720 Here we go. You go ahead. 798 00:50:34,020 --> 00:50:40,900 Just emotions, just everything. There's a lot of emotions. We're 799 00:50:40,900 --> 00:50:43,720 trying to figure out the rhythm of it. 800 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,900 I think the big question for me was. 801 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:55,400 How long is it going to take to get to a place where we, I, feel like we've been 802 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:56,400 playing together for years? 803 00:50:57,860 --> 00:50:58,940 Because we don't have time. 804 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,620 And if it takes six weeks, you know, this season could be lost.
