Jake Browning on Importance of Getting Chase Brown Going for Bengals Offense

Transcript

00:00Finding ways to get Chase Brown involved and get him going.

00:04I know you weren't going to make excuses the other day about run game-wise, and I get that,

00:07but just being one of the best players on offense, how important is it to get him going?

00:12Yeah, I think it's huge.

00:12I think, you know, the more we can not be one-dimensional

00:19and the more we can run the ball and have efficient gains in the run game will be really helpful.

00:25And, yeah, I think just the way the running back gets touches, you know,

00:30it's kind of taking some stuff off the quarterback's plate

00:33and giving me a couple of breather plays of just, you know,

00:35we handed the ball off and went for 10 yards.

00:37We threw him a swing screen, went for eight, you know,

00:42just plays like that where I can, you know, have some pass attempts on second and short

00:46or first downs will be big and just staying out of second and long, third and long.

00:51And, I mean, if you live in that against any team, Denver included,

00:54I mean, it's going to be a tough battle.

00:56How have you seen him grow the last time you were playing, 23, when he was a rookie to now?

01:01Yeah, a lot of confidence.

01:04And just, I mean, he's always been super explosive, fast, all those different things.

01:11I think when I first played, I'm pretty sure he was coming back from an injury,

01:15so we didn't really know.

01:17And obviously it wasn't like a really high pick for us.

01:19And so he's, you can just tell he's got confidence in catching the ball, protections,

01:26putting his foot in the ground, being decisive.

01:28And, yeah, like you said, he's one of the better players on our offense.
