00:00 Mark Chase told us that if you were healthy,
00:03 the Bengals would be representing the AFC
00:05 in the Super Bowl right now.
00:06 Do you agree with his statement?
00:08 I mean, it's easy to say.
00:10 It's harder to do, right?
00:12 We've been there.
00:13 We've done that.
00:14 But who knows how it would have played out?
00:17 You know, I was confident in where we were headed
00:19 and the direction that we were going within the season.
00:23 We were getting better every week.
00:24 And so it came at a tough time,
00:25 but it's given me an opportunity to get back,
00:30 get all focused on my training,
00:33 get all parts of my body to where they need to be.
00:36 And so when the wrist is right,
00:37 my body will be in tip-top shape.
00:40 So I'm excited to get back out there
00:41 and go on this run next year.
00:43 When you hear a label like game manager,
00:46 for both of you guys thrown around, for Brock Purdy,
00:48 what's your reaction to that,
00:49 considering what he's accomplished?
00:51 Well, you -- first of all,
00:55 you better be a game manager as a quarterback.
00:58 Otherwise, it's going to go haywire immediately,
01:03 and you're not going to be able to operate the offense.
01:05 So that's a prerequisite to playing the quarterback position
01:10 is you have to be the game manager.
01:12 You have to know situations.
01:14 You have to know how many timeouts.
01:16 You got to know whether it's third and four, third and six.
01:19 You got to know where the sticks are.
01:20 You got to know whether you need a touchdown or a field goal
01:21 in this situation to maybe determine
01:23 your decision-making on third down.
01:25 You got to know if it's an opportunity for you
01:27 to go for it on fourth down to, again,
01:31 change your decision-making on third down.
01:33 And then, you know, Brock has made tons of plays
01:36 with his legs outside the structure of the offense.
01:38 So, you know, when I hear --
01:42 all you got to do is go watch the tape,
01:44 and you see that Brock is playing at a high level.
