SportsTranscript
00:00I think it's coming out strong and executing and, you know, just making the plays that
00:05they give us.
00:06You know what I'm saying?
00:07The opportunity that we have in front of us, we got to make the most out of them and keep
00:09the ball moving the whole game.
00:10You said you were having fun last week.
00:13Are you still having fun?
00:14Yes.
00:15It's fun now.
00:16How dynamic is this offense right now?
00:17Joe Burrow said you guys are rolling.
00:18What are you guys talking about?
00:19The offense has been good right now, man.
00:20We've got a lot of different weapons now, I want to say.
00:21You know what I'm saying?
00:2212, 13 personnel, 11 personnel, you know what I'm saying?
00:35It's a lot of different things we can do with this offense to have people on the field and
00:37use them as weapons.
00:38How nice is that for you as an offense?
00:42I think we've been doing it since I've been here, for real.
00:46Because I know we have been, but I know we've been executing it the most this year.
00:50So I think that's what we're big on right now.
00:53Yesterday, Jamar said that he's going to have to play damn near perfect to have a chance
00:56to win.
00:57How do you feel?
00:58What would be a damn near perfect game for you?
01:04Taking care of my assignment.
01:05That's all I could do.
01:06You know what I'm saying?
01:07I've got to control the things that I've got to control, you know what I'm saying?
01:10If that's what Joe wants me at, then I've got to be there, you know what I'm saying?
01:13But I've just got to do my job and take care of my assignment.
01:17That's how it goes.
01:18Staying with T and staying with Joe, that's the only way we can be perfect.
01:21Do you ever put numbers on that?
01:22Excuse me?
01:23Do you ever put numbers on it?
01:24Do you ever associate it with having 100 yards, 2 TDs?
01:30At this point, bro, I'm just going out there and play football.
01:31I know what I'm capable of.
01:32I ain't going to sit here and say what I want to do, you know what I'm saying?
01:35He said they rarely get out of their shell, but they do at times.
01:39Is it a matter of being patient with them, or what do you have to do against them?
01:43When they get out of their shells, most of it is on snap, on the ball snap.
01:46So we've really got to watch the safeties when we're coming off the ball and watching
01:50the rotation on the two high shells.
01:53So we've really just got to keep our eyes up when it's snap on.
01:56Do they do more of that than most as far as moving?
01:59I wouldn't say as most.
02:00I mean, a lot of teams play as two high shells, so I can't really answer that.
02:03What do they do that's special?
02:05What do they do as a defense?
02:07They've got great packages, I want to say that, you know what I'm saying?
02:09They put a lot of their DBs on the field at different packages, so you move everybody
02:13around in different positions, and I think that's why they're so good.
02:16Zach and Joe have talked about a more physical game.
02:19Is that something you guys are preparing for in the wide receiver room, a lot of handsiness
02:22and stuff like that?
02:23With these guys, yes.
02:25But for me, it's every week.
02:26It's not just these guys, it's every week for me.
02:30You talked about how this team needed to play up to the standard, and you said that you're
02:34the best team in the AFC.
02:36Do you feel like against this Ravens team, I mean, you guys come into this game as home
02:40underdogs, that if you guys are able to win and play well against the Ravens, get to 1-0
02:47in the division, that this could really be a statement game from a confidence standpoint?
02:51I ain't looking that far, you know what I'm saying?
02:54That's the outside looking in, the way you're saying all that, but I'm just taking one game
02:57at a time and worried about Baltimore.
03:00I ain't worried about what everybody else got to say.
03:02If we're underdogs, we're underdogs, but at the end of the day, we've got to worry about
03:05Baltimore and how they're going to game plan against us.
03:07How glad the 1-1 against these guys, Lamar, has had some success?
03:12I want to win.
03:13That's how bad.
03:15Do you ever feel like an underdog?
03:17You, personally?
03:19It's a team sport, it's not really me.
03:21No.
03:22Do you look at stuff like the youngest guy to get, you know, 10, 50 yard catches, you
03:28know, for touchdowns, 60 yards?
03:31Do you look at that stuff?
03:33You talking about the stuff the Bengals posted?
03:35Yeah.
03:36Nah.
03:38I don't see it until I get tagged and stuff, so I try not to get on social media.
03:41Y'all be bashing people on there.
03:43What do you think about when you see that, you know, you're younger than most of the
03:46great ones to do this stuff?
03:48It's a blessing, man.
03:49It's a blessing being this opportunity.
03:50There's just more to come my way.
03:52You know, I couldn't do nothing but thank God and be in a, you know, it's, just got
03:57to be blessed, man, at this point right now, you know what I'm saying?
03:59Chosen one.
04:00Lamar, how much can this game be a tone setting game for what you guys want to be in division
04:04play this year?
04:05Yeah.
04:07I mean, it's a division game.
04:08We know it's one of the hardest games out of the four games we play in.
04:11We just got to come out and set a tone when we first get the ball or they first get the
04:15ball, defense or offense.
04:16You know what I'm saying?
04:17It's all about setting the first tone in the game.
04:18We know it's going to be a physical one.
04:19You just got to be ready for it.
04:20What's it like for you playing a team like this that you see so often, see them at least
04:25twice a year?
04:26How does that change things for you in terms of the matchup?
04:29I mean, it doesn't change much.
04:36It just changes how the defense and coordinator are going to play against me, you know what
04:39I'm saying?
04:40If Marlon's going to follow me or if Nate will follow me or if Stevens will just play
04:44their sides.
04:45It's all on how they play it, but it doesn't really matter.
04:48I just got to go out there and do my job, handle my assignments.
04:50Have you talked to Gino about past matchups where they were able to-
04:55I ain't talked to Gino at all.
04:57We have not talked yet.
04:59What have you played him to?
05:00Aaron Derrick.
05:01Derrick Henry with Lamar.
05:02Say it again?
05:04Aaron Derrick Henry with Lamar.
05:05Have you seen that?
05:06What are your thoughts about that?
05:07Honestly, bro, that's cop, bro.
05:08That's cop.
05:09That's cheating.
05:10If I'm playing Madden, RPO Reed with those two, but it's pretty copping.
05:11You know what I'm saying?
05:12On the game.
05:13In real life, you know, they're still doing the same thing.
05:14So, you know what I'm saying?
05:15It's a great duo they have back there.
05:16Would you ever play with them again?
05:17Hell, no.
05:18I guess not.
