Cincinnati Bengals On SI

Transcript

00:00We've been making plays, you know what I'm saying?

00:02Moving around, everybody's been moving around making plays.

00:04So he looked pretty good starting out the first half, that's what we needed.

00:09Someone to keep the momentum up for us, and he did that for us.

00:11So everybody's making plays and doing their job right now.

00:14How would you describe how badly you needed a win?

00:17Real bad, real bad.

00:19I don't wanna be 4-0, I mean 0-4, so.

00:22How good is it tomorrow to have, to rely on you and

00:27see what Zach did at the end of the first half, and

00:32see Chase Brown in the first two games for your Washington defense?

00:36Yeah, that was big, just not for Chase, but for the receivers too.

00:38Also having a block for Chase, you know what I'm saying?

00:40Nowhere we got a block in.

00:42Set the big hole up for him, for him to finish in it.

00:44So it was an outstanding job by the receivers,

00:46just putting hats on hats today too, also.

00:48You played with Joe a long time, when he makes those scrambling,

00:52avoiding defenders plays.

00:54Yeah, I got my gun on.

00:55Yeah, are you ever- I've seen him getting sacked, bro.

01:00When I look back, he was wrapped up.

01:02And then once I finished running and stopped, I heard this crowd screaming.

01:06I just seen him running towards me, so I didn't really know what was going on.

01:10But I mean, he's one of a kind dude, man, he's a special playmaker.

01:12You guys were 1-3 and you've been within a score of every game.

01:18How important was it to come in here today and

01:20really kick the door in and get it done?

01:23It was good, just to get the first win, man, underneath the belt and

01:26execute right.

01:27Now we gotta worry about next week and get our first division win.

01:29Out of the corner of your eye when you made the catch,

01:31when I believe it was a safety coming to hit you, could you see him covering?

01:35Or was that just natural reaction to dodge?

01:37I seen a second dude, not the first dude who hit me.

01:40The first dude, I had no clue.

01:42It was a straight kill shot, so I didn't see him at all.

01:46So you just absorbed the hit and then made a play?

01:48I just was focused on the ball.

01:50I didn't even worry about the defender.

01:52Did you have baby oil on today?

01:53No, we gotta keep that for somebody else, bro.

01:59Yeah, that's not my question right there.

02:02I did do it as a kid, though.

02:03We can't even ask that no more, bro.

02:05It's too much going on in life right now with that, man, we can't do that.

02:08Yeah, we can't do that.

02:11So with your grandparents looking on,

02:12the first time you've seen them in a couple of years,

02:15how big was it to make a memorable play with them in attendance?

02:20It was good, man.

02:21No, I told T before the game, if I get the score,

02:24I'm trying to get my grandparents the ball, so I actually called it.

02:26But it was just, you know what I'm saying, it was just a blessing, man,

02:30to have an opportunity to still play in front of my grandparents,

02:33who's still alive at the moment.

02:35So it's nothing but a blessing at this moment.

02:37Zach Moss with one second left in the half.

02:41Looked a little bit like you, staying off the ground despite slipping,

02:44maintaining his balance and getting in.

02:46Man, Zach's a good running back, man, him and Chase.

02:48They both bring two different types of ball games to the unit.

02:51And they both can do the same thing, but just different types of style to it.

02:54So I love our running backs, and they're doing a great job right now.

02:58Point total's gone up every game.

03:00Do you feel like the offense is really hitting its stride?

03:05We're getting there.

03:06I don't really know what the point spread stuff, I don't know how they work, bro.

03:08I'm just a football player.

03:10I just mean you scored 10 in the first game, 25 in this second,

03:1333 in the third, 34 in the fourth.

03:15As long as we keep executing, then we'll be good.
