Ja'Marr Chase Reacts After Bengals Lose to Texans
Transcript
00:00 Just feeling good before the game, before the game warm up.
00:05 >> Was there ever any doubt coming into this morning?
00:07 You were pretty confident for these last couple days here at work.
00:10 >> Well, my whole thing was coming into this game was just to see how I feel.
00:14 Before the game, it wasn't me having, I had my mind made up this whole week on
00:19 playing, so.
00:20 >> Were you able to be your usual self or were you limited?
00:24 >> I was limited.
00:24 How many catches did I have?
00:27 How many targets?
00:28 >> 4 for under a main to touch count?
00:29 >> Well, that doesn't scream like me, myself, so.
00:33 >> How do you feel physically right now after the game?
00:37 >> I feel good so far.
00:38 I mean, I'm good right now.
00:40 >> Did you learn anything from this loss a little harsher?
00:43 What do you say to people out there that- >> Nothing, man.
00:47 I'm keep picking him up, lift him up like he did me when I was here.
00:51 I'm a good teammate, he was too to me.
00:53 But you know what I'm saying?
00:54 We're gonna watch the film, watch what happened.
00:56 Great route by him.
00:57 Just gotta finish the catch, other than that, you can't tell him nothing, but
01:00 move on from it.
01:02 >> Even though you said you were 100%, were they still doubling you,
01:04 were they still guarding you?
01:06 >> I got doubled every play.
01:07 They showed too high shell and threw the corner over almost every play.
01:12 They did a little six strong sometimes too.
01:14 >> It looked like at a touchdown, you broke off when he was scrambling.
01:18 >> Yeah, scramble drill, all that was.
01:21 >> How frustrating has it been to see kind of the offense throughout the various
01:24 off stretches and you all were unable to get touchdowns and get the drills?
01:28 >> It's part of football, part of the NFL.
01:32 Playing against the best every week.
01:34 Gotta be consistent and execute every week as offense.
01:38 And I'm saying we're a little limited sometimes, don't I?
01:40 >> What was the reason this week for the low 30 minute or so low without scoring
01:44 a touchdown?
01:45 >> What was it?
01:46 >> What was the reason that you guys couldn't find the end up for
01:47 like that 30 minutes or so after the first touchdown?
01:49 >> I don't know, man.
01:50 Defense was playing us good.
01:51 It was taking away, I don't know, I think TB had another drop on the third down,
01:56 I think.
01:57 But I think that was two series that happened.
02:00 Maybe even three, so it just wasn't consistent.
02:04 >> Jomar, speaking to that point, do you think at this point of the season,
02:07 you guys as an offense should be more consistent?
02:10 >> Our goal is to be consistent, it's not to be even or less.
02:16 It's just to be consistent, it doesn't matter.
02:18 >> Do you feel like this race has stakes going into that game against Baltimore?
02:22 >> Say it again?
02:23 >> Do you feel like this race has stakes even more going into that game against
02:25 Baltimore?
02:25 >> I mean, that game would have just made it a little easier for
02:30 us, just because we have them next in our way.
02:32 But we're gonna only control so much right now and just control the AFC right now.
02:38 >> It seemed to have been such a role winning four straight into this one.
02:41 Much of this one sting not to keep it going.
02:43 >> Every loss hurts.
02:45 Not losing doesn't feel good, so I watch the film and learn from it and move on.
02:53 >> I feel like we've said this multiple times this year,
02:54 you guys have been in this position of five and four before.
02:57 And obviously we know what you guys can accomplish.
02:59 Does this feel similar to you guys or does this one feel any different?
03:02 >> I don't really look at football like that, you know what I'm saying?
03:05 It's just winning, losing right now.
03:08 And like I keep saying, we gotta get more consistent on our offense,
03:13 making plays like we did in the last three games.
03:17 Even though T was down, I was a little limited.
03:19 Just often you gotta step up sometimes, and other people gotta make plays too.
03:24 >> What do you guys- >> Would you say you were at?
03:25 >> I don't know, I was just out there, man.
03:30 I'm not gonna lie, I don't know.
03:31 >> What do you guys miss when T is down there?
03:33 >> Just one on one opportunities.
03:34 I was getting double, so they was leaving TI and TB one on one.
03:38 Sometimes they would double me, double TB, and
03:40 then leave TI one on one back side with the best corner.
03:43 So all he was doing was playing the number one corner against our number two
03:47 receiver, and then doubling me.
03:49 >> After a loss, emotionally,
03:51 do you prefer having a quicker turnaround to Thursday night football?
03:53 >> Not really.
03:57 >> Why not?
03:58 >> Next week, it's football, man.
04:02 It's a hard sport to play, you know?
04:03 >> Did their defense do anything differently after the first drive?
04:06 >> No, they really was showing a lot of too high a shadow.
04:09 I mean, we just figured out what they was gonna do to me, first two series,
04:14 see how they was gonna play, but they kept it on too high shells.
04:18 Tried to do a little invert a little bit sometimes, and no, they did it well.
04:21 They did well.
04:22 >> That first catch kind of took a big hit on that third down.
04:24 Was that a relief?
04:25 Was that painful?
04:26 How was that catch?
04:27 >> What was the catch?
04:29 >> Like a third down slant, didn't end up.
04:30 >> I thought they was gonna call a target, and he hit me right in my damn head.
04:33 So I'm alive, so it's good.
04:35 >> Did you guys change anything after the first series and the second half?
04:39 You guys started rolling.
04:40 >> I don't know, man.
04:44 Zach just started calling more plays, I guess.
04:46 >> A lot of times when guys are hurt, the game starts, the adrenaline's pumping,
04:51 the pain kind of dissipates a little bit.
04:54 Was that the case for you, or were you fighting through it still?
04:57 >> I was good throughout the whole game.
04:59 Just when the game was starting, I was trying to keep myself moving.
05:02 I always got on the bike.
05:03 As long as I keep myself moving, then I won't feel it.
