Bengals Booth Podcast: Can't Stand Losing

room comments, and Dave Lapham will join me for postgame analysis. Plus, in this week's fun Facts Conversation, we'll meet the person under the pads is. I'll talk to a Bengals defensive lineman who says if he could meet anybody on Earth, it would be the world's third wealthiest person, Warren Buffett.

All of that is straight ahead, but first, here's a quick reminder that you can have the latest edition of this podcast delivered right to your phone, tablet, or computer by subscribing iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify, or pod Bean. It's the greatest thing since a Yetti thermis. My wife has a thermis that she uses to take coffee to work,

made by Yetti YETI, it's incredible. According to the YETI website, the key is it's double walled, vacuum sealed insulation that can keep hot liquid hot or cold liquid cold for more than twenty four hours with ease. They're not cheap, but if you're looking for space age technology in a thermis, YETTI is the way to go. Let's get to football. The Pittsburgh Steeler's dominance at Paul Brown Stadium defies logic and almost defies description. Heading into Sunday's game, the Steelers

all time record at PBS was eighteen and three. Let me repeat that, eighteen and three, but most of those wins were started by Ben Roethlisberger fifteen and two at Paul Brown Stadium, but Big Ben obviously wasn't in uniform this time due to his season ending elbow injury. Instead, the Steelers QB was Mason Rudolph in his first start since Myles Garrett tried to club him in the noggin

with Rudolph's own helmet. Rudolph through four interceptions last week in Cleveland and through another in the first quarter on Sunday, Rudolph back to throw his past It's deflected is intercepted at the four yard line, and the Bengals are running it back Seawan Williams to the fifteen yard line. That's where he's tackled as Cincinnati gets a deflection at the line of scrimmage and the ball floated right into the arms of safety Sean Williams. Carlos Dunlap deflected the pass

and the game was scoreless after a quarter. The Bengals dodged a bullet on that drive, but the next time the Steelers reached the red zone they took the lead. Chris Boswell into attempt at twenty six yard field goal try. He has never missed a kick in his life against the Sins and Eddie Bengals. Would you believe forty four for forty four between field goals and Pats make it forty five for forty five as he drills the short field goal and gives the Steelers a three nothing lead

with three twenty one left in the half. To that point, the Bengals offense had been anemic under rookie quarterback Ryan Finley. They had a total of twenty seven yards on their first four possessions, but that changed in the blink of

an eye thanks to Tyler Boyd. Finley fakes a hand off, he's back to throw, looking looking cutting it deep down field for Tyler boy Baby makes a one hand to catch at the Pittsburgh fifty yard line on a grab with a left hand despite blank at coverage by Terrell Edmonds. That forty seven yard game put the Bengals at the fifteen yard line, and on the next play, Finley went right back to number eighty three. Bengals have two receivers

out to the right, one out to the left. Finley waiting for a shotgun snap back at the money, he'll look to pass. He's gonna throw it for the end zone and Tyler Boyd he goes up, he grabs the ball. It's a touchdown as he pushed off. Joe had him no penalty flag and then Boyd hauld it in for a Bengals touchdown that gave the Bengals their biggest halftime lead of the year, seven to three. Here's Ryan Finlay, I'm Tyler Boyd. Unbelievable play by Tyler. He's just a playmaker,

and we talked about all week. Just given him a chance on those one on one fifty fifty balls and he's gonna come down with it. He did it twice in a row. He did it on that one and then he did it for the touchdown. So unbelievable job by him. He's he's a heck of a player and we need to do that more. Just give him opportunity

to just make a play. The Steelers got the ball to begin the third quarter and went backward on their first possession of the second half, rud off back to throw, bouncing in the pocket, night to scramble and sacked the ball at the very end. That should be intentional grounding. He was definitely in the grass. They're going to just call it a sack. Back at the eleven yard line and big Andrew Billings grabbed Mason Rudolph. At that point,

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin had seen enough. Rudolph had a passer rating of thirty nine point eight and the Steelers had just three points after seven possessions, so Tomlin yanked Rudolph and turned to undrafted rookie quarterback Devlin duck Hodges. He got the nickname when he won a national duck calling contest a decade ago, and it took him just three plays to give Pittsburgh the lease second and seventeen.

He catches this one cleanly, looking to pass fires deep down the midfield, James Washington wide open, a Bengal fell down. Washington sprinting down the field, stiff arms b W. Webb pushes him over and runs into the end zone for a seventy nine yard touchdown. Unbelievable. The pass was thrown about thirty yards down field. Will Jackson slipped next to Washington as he caught the ball, and Webb got pushed over near the twenty five yard line. Here's BW on

Washington's big play. I made a good play. See, I just couldn't. I gotta get him down. The Bengals were able to answer thanks to strong running by Joe Mixon. He carried eighteen times for seventy nine yards in the game, and thirty eight of those yards came on Cincinnati's next drive to set up a game time field goal. Kevin Huber ready for the snap from Clark, Harris, extends the right hand, catches it, puts it down, Bullocks kick on its way. It is good, and the Bengals have tied

the game with five h seven left. Here in the third quarter, it was ten ten going to the fourth quarter. The Steelers got the ball with fourteen twenty to go, and on third and eight at their own thirty one, Hodges threw an incompletion that appeared to end the drive, but a late penalty flag came out for pass interference on b W Webb, a questionable call that the Bengals did not challenge. On the very next play, Webb was called for another pass interference penalty, this time guilty is charged,

giving the Steelers twenty six more yards. I told you before we started doing this interview, I was surprised the team didn't challenge the first interference call against you. Did you think that you did anything there? I don't think I did, But I mean, I guess the riff see something that the whole world didn't see. But I mean, I can't complain. A buddy called it, gotta move them. Was that in your head on the next play? Nope, not at all, the DD man we short memory get

onto the next play. Those penalties led to a forty seven yard field goal by Chris Boswell, giving Pittsburgh a thirteen to ten lead. There was plenty of time left, and it looked like the Bengals were going to take the lead. Right back first and ten at the Pittsburgh thirty finley under center fakes a handoff. He's back to throw half time, floats it deep, caught by Boyd at the ten. The ball comes out, the Steelers scoop it

up at the six. They're running it back. Make a Fitzpatrick at the forty and he'll be pulled down at the forty three yard line. Real Tyler. Boyd finished with five catches for one hundred one yards, but his fumble cost the Bengals a first in goal opportunity near the five yard line. You know, I for like um, I'll put Filly in a horrible situation. Man. I put him in a tough, tough situation. He's a first year player, and uh man, I make that play. We three more plays.

I try to get an in down therest we backed up. I really do, honestly believe if I make this play and I hold the ball and we win the game. Kevin Bush just got a hand in there and punched it out. He made a great tackle. You know, if I just secured the ball, yeah, don't happen. Cincinnati never threatened again after another Boswell field goal made at sixteen ten.

The Bengals got the ball for the final time with about three minutes to go, ready to snap it on second down in two in a tightly bunched for me, Finley back to throw. Good protection. Now the pocket closes and Bud Dupre knocks the ball away from Ryan Finley. He's got the football and the Steelers recover. He's at the twenty one yard line. Finley has got to understand that you have to have ball security in the pocket. Every time he gets it in the pocket, it seems

like the ball comes out. Finley has fumbled four times in three starts. He's completed forty seven percent of his throws and has a passer rating of sixty two point one. More importantly, the Bengals are owing three in those games, scoring thirteen, ten and ten points. They're rowing eleven overall. After losing to the Steelers sixteen to ten, Laps spend

four minutes with Zach Taylor after the game. Coach, it's you know, if a frustrating game, obviously you had had chances, had chances to win this football game, put it away. I mean, turnovers always end up being a big story in every football game, and this year. You haven't had a game where you're plus. You finished the game with a plus category, you've been even. And I had one turnover advantage, but in the second half they got a couple of takeaways and they proved to be a big

difference in the football game, you know it. I mean, it's we're eleven so far and winning the turnover battle. You know, we had the big one in the first half where the defense made a huge play that got things in the right direction for us. But in the second half we gave to them away. And that's you're gonna lose a lot of games in the NFL when you're playing that way, the game can be so cruel.

Tyler Boyd had a big day. I mean, he had five catches over one hundred yards and he catches the football and you know, you have to give Bush credit. He got beaten, but he stayed after it and Tomahawk chopped and punched and the ball came out and that turned into you know, I mean, you had at least three maybe more, and then you know, Fitzpatrick flips field position by forty yards. I mean that play was a big one, wasn't it. It is we got to do

a better job with the Paul security. That's what Steelers really have made their living on this year is creating turnovers, defense and flip in the field. And they did a great job. Credits to them, Ryan Finley. Uh. In terms of ball security, I mean in the pocket when he gets hit, seems like the balls and you you had mentioned it, you know a while back, that he has to not be as loose with the football when he's running with it or you know, in the pocket. I mean,

that's a tough lesson that he's learning, isn't it. That's that's part of quarterback players. You're gonna be strong with the ball in the pocket and know that when a play gets extended as long as it goes sometimes they're gonna be coming after that thing. And they had good addreshers. I think the pre got the last one from what I could see. And so those guys have an act for that kind of stuff and you can't let that beacha and today it did so Bush. That was the

fifth fumble that that kid's forced. I think he might be might be leading the National Football League. And like you mentioned, coming into the game, they were I think twenty six takeaways, second most in the in the league. So I mean, and I think I remember that of the two hundred points they scored as an offense, ninety four were set up by by defensive plays. And that was kind of the story of today's game as well. There was that's that's what they've done all all season.

We talked about it, we knew that was going to be a big part of the game, and we still let it come up and bite us. So you got a young quarterback that you know, hasn't completed fifty percent of his passes yet and is maybe you know, working hard to see the field, but not getting it out, maybe as quickly as he's he hopes he might, and maybe as you hope he might. How do you how do you expedite that process? How do you, like, you know, accelerate that part of his game. Well, it's it's again,

it's on the whole unit. Everyone's got to do their job. And uh, you know, if we hit that big play down there, and we have the ball down around the ten yard line, we score, then we're really not in a position to where we got to drop back and have those ball scurty issues. So again, it's it's everyone just got to do a great job and and help a young quarterback out and um, we'll get there. So at this point, eleven losses, six of them now by a score or less, seven of them by ten points

or less. And it's not like it's not it's not there. I mean, the possibility of winning football games is there. It's just getting that that final It's one play. I mean, it's just getting over that hump with a player two, just missing that game changing your play, and it can be in any phase of the game. Um, that's what we need. We need to step up and someone make that play in the fourth quarter, and unfortunately today we

weren't able to make that happen. I'm sure you I always appreciate your carving time with us because I know you've already had your presser, and I'm sure it was this question was asked, what's your thought? I know, you know the game's over, there's emotions and all that, but your thought at the quarterback position, do you stay with Ryan Finley? Do you make a change there? What do you do well? Well, the comment I made was if you've benched every quarterback, every rookie after three games, and

there'd be no quarterbacks in this league. You know, it's it's uh. You got to give those time guys a chance to grow and correct the mistakes and really see what you got. Your defense two games in a row, gave up seventeen points, gave up sixteen points in the NFL. I mean that that's winning play on that side of the football. You have to be proud of how your defense has come out. It is, you know, and we got to match that on the other side of the ball.

You know, we get a big, planing, special team something. But our defense the last two weeks, I think that they've done the things that we've asked them to do and they've given us a chance to win. Before we get to analysis, let's hear from one more player. Cordy Glenn was the Bengals left tackle on Sunday, playing for the first time since Week two of the preseason. Glenn spent nearly two months in concussion protocol and spoke to reporters after the game. Or is it meaningful to be

back out there? Cordy? Yeah, it felt good. I mean I haven't played football and so long. I mean, especially planning against the Stillers Ashley was fun. I mean, obviously we didn't win a game, but it felt great to be back out there, especially when you like, you don't know which if you could play football or how your career is gonna go, and it's kind of up and now, did you think that your career was in jeopardy? I mean you don't. I mean obviously you don't. I mean

you don't know. I mean, and it was one of a certain type of injuries. It's kind of like kind of question everything. So it felt great to be out there. Everybody. Do you feel like stuff that's been said about you has been unfair? I don't. I honestly, I really don't try to read into that and read too much into that. I mean, stuff is gonna be sad about anybody, good or bad. I don't know butt end of the day, Like I can control as with my thoughts are in my head and that's kind of how I live life.

Have you kind of reached out I let bygones be bygones, point with you know, teammates, coaches, whatever, where you just want to kind of move forward from here. Yeah, I mean it's been like that for a while. I mean I think, I mean, whatever the internet was, I don't know how long ago was, I mean, kind of soon's it happened. I kind of just kind of wanted to let it go then. But I don't know. It's just

I don't know. I try to just press forward every day and I don't try to, you know, hold on the things too long, and just you know, just keep working and trying to help the team out. It's all I really think about, not so much, you know, worrying about, Oh, this happened, so I have to like, you know, just dragging on, dragging on and just keep it going, just kind of move forward and just just let it go. Do you have a year left on your deal? Could you see yourself thing here? I mean, I can see

a lot of different scenarios. I mean, honestly, I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, I'm just trying to go out there and play hard as I can these last couple of games, and whatever happens happening. I mean, I can't control that. Difficult has it been for you just to

watch the season play out from the sidelines? I mean, it's kind of it's I think it's extremely difficult, not only just watching the season or watching all the games from the sidelines, just not knowing like what's your future holds, because you know it's certain type of injuries you can't really control or you can't really it's not like, oh, it's it's a four to six week thing. You're just like you kind of have to you don't know when

you're gonna feel better or whatever. So I mean, it felt great to be out there today and helping the team out. Obviously I got to finish it in the game, but when we fell hard and we know we need to do and we're real close. I've been closed for the last two games, but that doesn't mean much when you've gone three hundred forty three days without a win. Time for postgame analysis with lap. Bottom line to me is pretty simple. Today Lap, the defense played well enough

to win. The offense did not. Two weeks in a row, same story out Noakland. Defense played well enough to win, offense didn't. Today, defense plays well enough to win, offense does it. You have a rookie quarterback that's struggling to get the ball out of his hand in a timely fashion. One thing you can say about Andy Dalton. You can criticize a lot of things if you want to, but never criticize he got the ball out of his hand.

It was always like, oh, he's right there. He's won two or three in the league in terms of time from receiving a snap to getting it out of his hand. I mean, the only guy quicker a lot of times was Brady so Andy Dalton saw it and get rid of it. And right now Ryan Finley is struggling in that area holding onto the football. And I mean the protection was light years better than it was in Pittsburgh, There's no question about it. But you know Ryan had

issues holding onto it. And then when he gets hit holding onto the football, the ball security part of it. You know, strip sack and fumble recovery by Duke Free late in the football game, early in the game, t J. Watt sack, strip, don't don't lose his Bengals recover it. But those kind of things are killer. You know, you have to He's had Ryan's had turnovers in every game, every game. The Scott and report on Ryan Finley coming out of NC State was that his strengths were anticipation

and accuracy. He's compleating less than fifty percent of his throws through three starts, and as you mentioned, he isn't seeing things all that great and is having a hard time getting the ball out of his hands, you know. And part of it too is maybe he's seeing it, but it's not there. You know. It's the same problem that we've talked about all season long in that there's no receivers to take the top off a defense, and everybody is playing everything, you know, in front of them.

I mean, it's nobody. Nobody is challenging them to open up areas of the football field, so there's tight traffic everywhere. I mean, his windows a lot of times are not big, but you know, sometimes he's not putting enough zip on the football. I mean, there's a myriad of issues. Some of them come back to him, for sure. Do some of them come back to his receivers, absolutely at times, to some come back to the offensive line, no doubt.

Bottom line is it's just not good enough offensively, and they wasted two winning defensive performances on the back to back weeks that you just can't waste in the NFL. You have described to me in the past after the some of the tough games in your NFL career, you'd lie in bed at night replaying the game on the ceiling. Essentially, Tyler Boyd's going to have one of those nights. He's so upset with himself for that fumble inside the ten

that basically killed the Bengals last good chance. Yeah, he was. He was about to stand up. As I can recall, Tyler Boyd is a is a man's man, you know. I mean, he had five catches for one hundred yards, so he put him in position. You know, he had the play where Ryan Finley just you know, Ryan Finnley said it was an unbelievable play. He wasn't even open. I just said, Okay, I'm going to give him a shot and see if he can win. And he won one on a fifty fifty ball, just on a shoulder pad,

cradling the thing. It was amazing to see. And then follows it up with a fifteen yard touchdown reception. But I mean the fumble. You know, you have to give a linebacker Bush a lot of credit. He was beaten. You got a wide receiver on a running back. I don't care if you're a rookie or a twenty year veteran. That's a matchup you're going to He went to Tyler Boyd and Bush was beaten, but he said, you know what, I'm not quitting on it. Tomahawk chop with the right hand,

punch with the left. And that's what the Pittsburgh Steelers are all about coming into the game ninety four. The two hundred points by the offense where courtesy of takeaways by the Steelers defense. They had twenty six coming in. Now make it twenty eight. I mean, they just take it away and give the offense opportunity and might make of Fitzpatrick picks it up and runs on a return for over forty yards to change field position. Because the

Bengals were in the red zone. They're scoring points. It's at least three for them, maybe seven, and so you got a huge swing there. That's just astronomical in a tight game like this one. Cordy Glenn returned to the Bengals starting lineup after saying several months in concussion protocol. How did he do and what did you think of his postgame comments? Welcome back. I mean it's about time. And uh, I mean he's the best left tackle they have. There's no doubt about it. He's mammoth h and he

can move. He's m squared, you know, he's got movement, and he is a mammoth behemoth, So I mean he's gonna he's gonna pass protect. Dupree, you know, had a couple of couple of plays, but he's gonna have a couple of plays on just about everybody. Again, I think that has Probably his pass protection was better than his run run game. Um, he didn't have to worry about conditioning because they had thirty thousand and three and ounce, so that wasn't any kind of an issue. It was

literally eight or nine, wasn't it. Three and outs? I think eight that's mind boggling. So you know, you weren't gonna you weren't gonna have to worry about endurance, you know when you're off the field, and three snaps like that. So, um, I think it's a good starting point. You know, he talked about finishing, which I think is something that everybody has to take into consideration. You have to improve in

that area. Obviously finished plays and then finished games. But yeah, it was interesting in terms of you know, taking so long to play. I don't know, I just don't know what to make of it other than you know, I think in all of his teammates estimation and everybody else. It was just so long, so long, and he didn't want to get into the I asked him, was it headaches, was it dizzyness? Was it balanced? He didn't want to

get into it. So bottom line is he's back, and they're better at left tackle with Corty Glynn now Ben Roethlisberger. Mason Rudolph didn't have his helmet taken away by Miles Garrett today. He had it taken away by his head coach. He got benched in favor of rookie Devlin Duck Hodges, and one seventy nine yard touchdown pass was enough for the Steelers to come into Paul Brown Stadium yet again and leave town to the win. They've won seven straight

games at Paul Brown Stadium. Tomlin is just Tomlin. No Ben Rothsburg, but the Pittsburgh Steelers in general, it's Pittsburgh West. They're more comfortable here at Paul Brown Stadium, and I think any stadium in the National Football League. It's almost ridiculous. You know, they've won ten in a row. Now, they've won thirteen out of fourteen, eighteen out of twenty one. It's crazy. It's crazy how much they've dominated this series nineteen and three all time. Here at Paul Brown Stadium.

You are shaking your head. I'm stupefied. Up next a home game against the Jets. Three weeks ago, when the Bengals were oo and eight, the Jets were one in seven. Now New York is four and seven after wins over the Giants, Redskins, and Raiders. The first two wins were against weak opponents, but they smoked the six and four Raiders on Sunday thirty four to three. Oakland's loss and Pittsburgh's win puts the Steelers back into the sixth and final playoffs slot in the AFC, at least for now.

Now time for this week's fun facts conversation as we get to know the person under the pads. This week, it's a member of last year's draft class. Time for some fun facts with Bengals defensive lineman Andrew Brown from Chesapeake, Virginia in the Virginia Beach Norfolk area. Did you grow up in the city or the country suburbs? It was like in between, for it wasn't really like necessary the city. But yeah, what'd you do for fun as a kid

than as a kid play football? For if we realize that was the only outlet I have beside you know, ian ice cream and watching TV shows all day. Andrew, you're a big man now, and you are a big kid. I've read that the other kids weren't always kind and and they were. I got picked on a lot growing up, you know, as if I'd always be in the biggest guy, you know, I will always go home and cross the

other my mom and stuff like that. It's just funny, man, because the tables turned one that I actually saw one of the kids they used to bullying me in high school my senior year, and I recognized and it was just crazy how the tables at the turn. He remembered too, how he used to pickle me back in the day. So it was funny, man. Did it turn as you became a star athlete? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Everybody hated me then everybody looked just like that. Crazy

we're doing fun facts with Andrew Brown. You mentioned your mom and she passed away when you were young. You were eleven years old when she passed away from cancer. Did that bring you and your dad close together? But she had passed away from cardiac arrest. She had half breast cancer, she was ten years and remission. Yeah, it was crazy, man, but it definitely affected the family dynamic, you know when she passed away. But we we dealt with it and we got closer together. She inspires you

to this thing. Oh yeah, always every day I wake up in the morning think about it. You wore the number nine at Virginia as a tribute to her. Correct ye. Because of December ninth, two thousand and seven, which is coming up. So as a senior in high school, you are the National Gatorade High School Football Player of the Year. And I don't mean the defensive end of the year. I mean the player of the year. They picked one.

So am At Smith won that, Peyton Manning won that, Kyler Murray won it the year after you won it. What was your reaction to that? Is that a blessing or a burden to just have that kind of spotlight placed on you. Honestly, I'll always see that as a blessing because when I was walking the red carpet with all the famous people like in La you know, I said the sp Awards like it opened my eyes and made me realize, like it's a lot to life. And you know, it definitely made me want to work harder

so that I'd get back to where I was, you know. Yeah, so as a high school senior you get invited to the SPS as a result, so you are hobnobbed with the biggest name in biggest names in sports as a high school senior. Yeah, it was unreal, Like you saying all of that, man and seeing the way they lived. That lifestyle is side of here, where's the trophy at my pop's house? I got one. They gave me two trophies, one to keep at the school at my high school

and then wanted my dad's house. Ye. We're doing fun facts with Andrew Brown. So when you are the national high school football Player of the Year, naturally you could go anywhere. You chose Virginia. Why well, mainly because a lot of the guys from my area was going there at the time. And then also the number one safety and college Quinn Blannet. He was the number one in his position coming out and we were from the same area.

We were all from the same area and stuff like that, so we figured, you know, why not trying to put our state on the map. You know, now they're going to bowl games and stuff like that. Man, so I feel like we were definitely a part of the foundation that got things turned around at the school. Doing fun facts with Andrew Brown. They don't hand you a degree in Virginia. It's a very prestigious academic institution and you

earned your degree. How did you juggle academics in football? Well, basically, it's all about time management and what you choose to do as your time. Some people choose, you know, they have poor decisions when it comes to that, and I stayed on top of my education. My grind. Basically, just be where you're supposed to be and do your work and that's all. King't field. Man. Did you arrive there with that attitude or did you develop it over the course of your college career. I always had, you know,

I had my pops. Man, he was hard on me growing up. I'll talk about having to clean the whole house before going to football practice, you know what I'm saying. So and cut the grad so so we talk about like some hard old stuff. But yeah, man, I was very disciplined going into college. Of the things that you've accomplished, what's made your father proudest? Graduating from college? He says that to me all the time, like he says, you know, because I was the first one to do it in

my family. So just for me to be able to change the tide a little bit, it was cool. So after a great career of Virginia, you get invited to the Senior Bowl and you knocked it out of the park. Scouts started raving about your potential and what they thought your NFL possibilities might be. Did you sense that in the moment. Could you tell that these NFL guys with their notepads were starting to go, oh, who's that guy? Yeah? Yeah,

it was fun. Man, I was turning up out there because once I started letting loose out there, like I didn't notice, like the media started to pick us a little bit more, scouts started to tall the least like it was cool. And so after that experience, you wound up being drafted by Cincinnati. Described draft day, man, So I had a beach house of Virginia, beach right, and all my family was there, my friends were there. Man, we was having fun. Man, And when my name got called,

of course the whole house. I was actually in the shower when my name got called. And could you believe it? Man? So my name is called the next day, you know, man celebrating the room, my dad and anything. That night we went crazy, you know what I'm saying. We had a good time. So if you're in the shower when you got packed, did it go to voicemail or were you able to scramble and stick your hand? I was able to get the phone and stuff like that. Man, I was like, oh, man going crazy? All right? A

few nine football topics for Andrew Brown. You are a budding music producer. Correct, yes, tell us about it. It all started when my mom and my grandma enrolled me in piano lessons growing up, and I kind of leaned away from that as I got more serious with football, but I incorporated it within the music production which I found, Like my grandma had bought me this this program called fl Studio one Christmas, and this was in middle school

and ever since then. Man, I just always was trying to create new sounds and things like dad was just always a passion that I had. I was good at it and once I got more serious, each Christmas, my dad would buy me a new piece of equip musical equipment go with it, and um it would definitely be like out my outlet off the field. You know what

I'm saying, And I love it. Man. So earlier this year you faced the Buffalo Bills, and I'm doing my homework on their players, and I read about Cole Beasley and how he's come out with a hip hop album and the off season. I had no idea you collaborated. Oh yeah, man, we still are. We got a lot, we got a lot of songs coming out, and we're building our portfolio slowly but surely. So for people interested in that type of music, tell them about Cole Beasley
