Ja'Marr Chase on Bengals Offense, Mindset Ahead of AFC North Matchup vs Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals On SI

Transcript

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.
