Transcript
00:00An original series is presented by Elijah Craig, the father of bourbon.
00:11I've always been fascinated with the fact that quarterbacks used to call their own plays.
00:17And the quarterback was really the team's offensive coordinator on Sunday.
00:21I wanted to know what it was like and why it changed.
00:25And one of the best play callers was Broadway Joe Namor.
00:28So if Boomer Esiason and I went to the site of his old nightclub, Bachelors 3, you wouldn't believe what it is today.
00:36I also learned that helmet radios can be used for just about anything.
00:42Time to hit the road.
00:46And now, the ESPN original series, Hayden's Places, presented by Elijah Craig.
00:58Well, Boomer, this is it.
01:06Are you kidding me?
01:07798 Lexington Avenue.
01:10This was Joe Namor's nightclub.
01:12It looks like we missed last call.
01:14Yeah, only by 60 years or so.
01:16In the summer of 69, this place changed football forever.
01:20Namor and the Jets had just won Super Bowl III.
01:22The New York Jets are the world champions.
01:28They have upset the Baltimore Colts.
01:31He was a hero, and he had the world at his feet.
01:33Men wanted to be him.
01:35Women wanted to be with him.
01:37And he never wanted to go to bed.
01:39So he opened the nightclub, Bachelors 3.
01:41I remember, you know, I grew up 50 miles from here, and you could hear the music blaring.
01:51Pete Rozelle told Namath to shut it down or retire, because gamblers used to patronize this place.
01:57Let me guess.
01:57Namath was like, you want to bet?
01:59So Namath retires.
02:01I'm not selling.
02:04I'll quit.
02:05The retirement only lasted three months.
02:07Joe still wanted to play football, so we sold it and went back to the Jets.
02:14What do you think, Boomer?
02:15You want to check it out?
02:16I'm worried that people might recognize us.
02:19What do you say we go incognito?
02:21In that?
02:23Actually, in honor of Broadway Joe.
02:32Got one for you, too.
02:33Great, thanks.
02:34Let's do it.
02:37Looks like they sell more than soda here, Boomer.
02:59Turns out, Namath's Nightclub is now a cannabis dispensary.
03:04Hey, do you think that Aaron Rodgers shopped here when he was with the Jets?
03:08No doubt about it.
03:09Excuse me, any idea whose nightclub this is?
03:12No idea.
03:13Do you think they guarantee their prices here?
03:15I do ads for Doritos.
03:17I could probably hook you up.
03:18Have you seen any gamblers in here or mobsters?
03:21Don't worry.
03:21You can tell us.
03:22They only look like undercover cops.
03:24Hey, man.
03:25You ever taken a hit?
03:26Son, I used to take them professionally.
03:29Your name is also Boomer?
03:30What are the odds?
03:31Can I get these, please?
03:33You're the first person to come in here and only buy a bag of Cheetos.
03:37You know, this is the first time I've ever been in a dispensary.
03:39Where do you keep the Pez?
03:42Seriously.
03:42I'm Peyton Manning, and I love football.
03:47Don't worry.
03:48Peyton, who's your favorite football player?
03:49My dad.
03:50I'm on a quest to bring NFL history to life.
03:53Yes!
03:54Wow, that was pretty reckless.
03:55So join me for another adventure.
03:58Peyton.
03:58Dream come true, man.
03:59Oh, awesome, man.
03:59This is right up there.
04:01Are you kidding me?
04:02Peyton's place.
04:03This is great.
04:03During our visit to what used to be Bachelor's 3, Boomer Esiason reminded me of Broadway Joe's greatest skill as a quarterback.
04:17He actually called his own plays.
04:19As a matter of fact, he was the Kyle Shanahan of play calling back in the day.
04:23You did the same thing.
04:23You and Sam Weiss are the ones who saved it.
04:27Not with his mustache, I didn't.
04:28And that got me thinking about who makes the calls.
04:32Hey, I like that.
04:34You want to flip it and do the same play?
04:38Nowadays, the coaches call the plays.
04:41I'm going to go bounce right slot, 300 scrams.
04:43Over wireless headsets, right into the quarterback's ear.
04:47Hey, let's go Ultra Bunch GTS.
04:49Ultra Bunch GTS.
04:51But once upon a time.
04:53This is what it's all made about, you know?
04:54This is what the whole thing is here.
04:56There were no helmet receivers, and the quarterback made the call.
05:00Red right, 8.42, wedge on cue.
05:02Let's go.
05:04Hut!
05:05Dandy Don Merida, Johnny Yu, and Broadway Joe weren't just great passers.
05:13They were great play callers.
05:15I had a 60-hour rip-off.
05:16Did you check it then?
05:17Yeah, I checked the line.
05:18I had something else on.
05:19Something Boomer will become pretty good at in the 80s.
05:23But that's getting ahead of our story.
05:26All right, Boomer, people forget that some of the NFL's greatest moments were quarterbacks
05:29calling their own plays.
05:30What do you say we dim the lights and watch a little film here?
05:33Let's do it.
05:33This is the 1940 NFL Championship.
05:36Sid Luckman calling his own plays, not Coach George Hallis.
05:4073-0, still the greatest blowout in NFL history.
05:43The Bears are unstoppable.
05:46A little trap play there, it looks like.
05:48Look at how nicely everybody's dressed.
05:49Yeah, exactly.
05:51All right, Johnny Unitas, greatest game ever played, 1958 Championship.
05:55Unitas called all his own plays.
05:57Throws the quick one to Barry.
05:59You always heard about the great timing of Unitas to Barry, right?
06:03And look at the accuracy of the pass so he can protect himself.
06:06Yeah.
06:07You know, this is a game-winning play.
06:09You think, okay, Unitas has called his own plays.
06:11I want to call a touchdown pass.
06:13I want to call a fade to Barry.
06:14What does he call a dive play to Amici to win it?
06:17United States begins to Amici and the ballgame is over.
06:20And the Baltimore Colts are the professional football champions of the world.
06:24Pretty unselfish, though, as a play caller, right, to give it to.
06:27I think quarterbacks are probably the most unselfish people on the field.
06:31I agree.
06:32But if you get in there and you come right out and say,
06:34P-36 trap on two bank, get out of the huddle.
06:37The defense might be stacked against it because you called it with such authority.
06:41It's where they're going to go out and make it work.
06:43I always kind of like that about Unitas, right?
06:45You could call it audible.
06:46It could be the worst audible.
06:47But if you do it with a lot of confidence and good voice inflection,
06:50it'll probably be worse.
06:52He's talking like every quarterback should talk.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Like, you have to present it as if it's the right thing at the right moment at the right time.
07:00Namath has not been bashful this week.
07:02And he has said that the Jets are going to win.
07:04He said, I guarantee a Jet victory.
07:06Super Bowl III, I actually watched the film of this game with Joe Namath,
07:10which is really cool, but it feels a little blitz here.
07:14Just kind of a quick little swing, get it out to the back.
07:16This is the game-winning drive to beat the Colts.
07:18And by the way, this is a staple play that's still in the NFL today.
07:21That's right.
07:21You see a blitz, you throw it to your hot receiver.
07:24Taking advantage of what's there.
07:26There again, watch how he reads the defense.
07:28The guy in the backfield is wide open.
07:30Yeah, yeah, he's just picking them apart.
07:32Peyton, when I see that upright, where it is on the field back in the day,
07:36I know that you would have ran one of your wide receivers right off of that thing
07:41to run a defender into the upright.
07:42Rub play, right?
07:48Third down, inches to go.
07:50Hackers trying for the go-ahead score.
07:52Starr begins to count.
07:54Bart Starr's quarterback sneak in the ice bowl.
07:56Takes the snap.
07:58He's at the quarterback sneak.
07:59And he's in the center.
08:00Terry Bradshaw's 69 maximum flanker post in Super Bowl X.
08:05Here's Bradshaw.
08:08Fathered from behind.
08:09Lance Swan is open.
08:10Got it.
08:11Steeler's left there.
08:13Some of the most storied plays in football history were called by quarterbacks.
08:18Back is Plunkett.
08:19Behind the throw.
08:20Deep to the end zone to Branch.
08:22It is done by Branch.
08:24Touchdown, Reader.
08:25Jim Plunkett here.
08:26He's the last guy to kind of call his own plays in a huddle with a world championship
08:31on the line.
08:32He won Super Bowl XV and Super Bowl XV.
08:35Bucket looks.
08:35Low.
08:36Right.
08:37You know, when we say calling your own plays, we're talking about a quarterback in the huddle
08:44calling a play, getting to the line of scrimmage, and then running that play.
08:49By the time Boomer became the Bengals' starter in 1985, quarterbacks weren't doing that anymore.
08:56The game had grown complicated.
08:58Playbooks expanded.
09:00And mastermind coaches like Landry, Shula, and Walsh had total control.
09:05I put the play in, Paul.
09:09If you correct me on the field, I put the thing in upstairs.
09:15But Boomer's coach was Wacky Sam Weish.
09:18Will the next person that sees anybody throw anything onto this field, point them out, or
09:24get them out of here?
09:25You don't live in Cleveland, you don't live in Cleveland!
09:28And Weish had a wacky idea.
09:31Attack, attack, attack!
09:32Attack, attack, attack!
09:33Attack, attack, attack!
09:35Let's go!
09:36Quarterbacks calling their own plays was a dead thing, and then you and Sam Weish kind
09:39of reinvented it.
09:40What was the key to your no-huddle attack offense, and kind of what was the goal?
09:45Well, I think the goal was to try to keep the defense off balance.
09:48Over the right tackle or the guy over the left?
09:50Over the backside tackle.
09:51So there is still motion on that?
09:53Yeah.
09:53I just want to make sure of that.
09:55The Bengals wouldn't huddle.
09:57The defense couldn't substitute, and Boomer called a play at the line.
10:0228, Baker Bruce!
10:04100!
10:04I could audible to anything I wanted to.
10:07Love it.
10:07As long as I had the right pass protection with the right personnel groups.
10:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:11They should have a cheat sheet for you.
10:13They should, because this is not a normal offense.
10:16But because we didn't have the coach, the quarterback communication, and the wristband,
10:19I would have to know the formations, the personnel groups that went along with those formations,
10:23and I'd have to know the pass protections, the runs that you could call or check to at
10:27the line of scrimmage.
10:289-35 auto, Buck Denver!
10:31It felt like it was easier to pick up the pass rush.
10:33Left flip!
10:34Left flip!
10:35By keeping them from substituting into their nickel packages.
10:38If you saw a defense substitute, did you have a buzzword that could go even quicker?
10:43Yeah, set alert, set alert.
10:44Set alert!
10:45Set alert!
10:45And that would be a certain play that we would have already built into the offense,
10:50and we would run that play.
10:51Let's go!
10:52Attack, attack, attack!
10:53Set alert!
10:54Set alert!
10:55Set alert!
10:56Set alert!
10:58Set alert!
11:00Come on!
11:01Set alert!
11:0334!
11:03Hit, hit!
11:07Boomer's gonna go back and throw it.
11:11Over the middle is popped!
11:12Rodney Hallamook gets the second touchdown pass of the night.
11:16That's the way to go!
11:17Oh!
11:18It sure looked wacky, but in 1988,
11:21no one could stop the no huddle.
11:23There's Eddie Brown.
11:24He has a touchdown!
11:26They're all for it.
11:27Go ahead, man.
11:29And Boomer and the Bengals rode it all the way to Super Bowl XXIII.
11:34Play action fake.
11:35Boomer back to throw.
11:36Looks to the end zone.
11:37Lobs it off and it's why a touchdown!
11:39Oh, baby!
11:40The Bengals have won the AFC Championship,
11:42but will be in the Super Bowl.
11:45They didn't win,
11:47but the Bengals' no huddle offense had a profound impact on the NFL.
11:51In the no huddle offense, Kelly to throw again.
11:54Now he throws it long downfield for Lofton,
11:57and he's got it!
11:59Nice left, Heidi Raiders!
12:01And certainly on what I did at the line of scrimmage.
12:05Tom Moore, he would give me three plays in the huddle,
12:08and, you know, I could get to the best one at the line of scrimmage.
12:11Purple, boot the Raiders!
12:12Good!
12:13Opposite!
12:14Opposite!
12:14Opposite!
12:15When we were losing games, we'd run a two-minute drill.
12:18Crash to Buffalo!
12:19Nice right, Oce!
12:20We had success.
12:21Behind the Buffalo!
12:22Behind the Buffalo!
12:24Why are we waiting to get down to go no huddle?
12:26Let's just start the game that way.
12:28I mean, everybody was smiling to the no huddle.
12:30And you got into a rhythm.
12:30Yeah, you get into a rhythm.
12:31Sit up!
12:32Peyton looks for the quick throw,
12:33lobs it in the corner to Marvin!
12:35He's got a touchdown!
12:37Woo!
12:38But I always liked having a thought into my helmet.
12:42Give me the starting point.
12:43Y'all are seeing it from the press box.
12:44Y'all are seeing it from the sideline.
12:45I mean, you're sitting up there with a hot dog,
12:46and you got everything in front of you.
12:47Right, right.
12:47The only time that I truly called my own plays
12:51was after Sam was let go and David Shula took over in 1992.
12:56Because I knew the offense better than anybody else.
12:58Yeah, right.
12:58But now I have to learn the defensive tendencies
13:01more so than the offensive coordinator does.
13:03That's right.
13:04Hey, listen.
13:04This ain't Ray Nitschke, Dick Butkus,
13:06and Deacon Jones over there,
13:08so let's start kicking some ass.
13:09Triple right flip, 18-0 on two.
13:11Come on, let's go!
13:13So when I'm over the 50 and I'm playing the Packers,
13:15okay, what are they doing?
13:16Yeah, they're going to blitz here.
13:17And that was too much for me.
13:19Yeah.
13:19After three games, I couldn't do it.
13:21Yeah, give me a thought, and then let me change it.
13:23It was exhausting.
13:24Right, right.
13:26Boomer got me thinking about a current quarterback
13:29who was once forced to call his own plays.
13:32So like Bill Belichick...
13:34What do you think having a 37-year-old
13:35or on to Cincinnati?
13:37I was on to Cincinnati
13:39where I got a Queen City welcome to the jungle.
13:45How's it going?
13:46What's up, man?
13:47Really appreciate it.
13:48Nice to see you.
13:48Doing a little something on quarterbacks
13:50calling their plays.
13:52Back in the old days, you know,
13:53it wasn't always the coach calling the plays.
13:55It was the quarterback.
13:56I think you know a little something about that.
13:58The Titans division game, 2022.
14:00Helmet radio goes out.
14:04The Bengals and the top-seeded Tennessee Titans
14:08from Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville.
14:112.40 left in the half.
14:13We are still tied at six.
14:16It's a series before half.
14:17We've got to get some points.
14:18Helmet goes out.
14:19There seems to be more confusion.
14:25Burrow started out of the huddle
14:26towards the sideline.
14:27At that point, it's just like,
14:29I've got to do what I've got to do.
14:30Give me 11 personnel.
14:32I was like, this is my moment.
14:33I've been waiting for this.
14:34I've never done it before.
14:35Just got to the base plays at work.
14:37What did you call?
14:37Dragonwise sit.
14:38Flat to the boundary.
14:41Burrow catches the shotgun snap.
14:43He throws toward the right sideline.
14:45Higgins with the catch.
14:47And then I get on the ball,
14:48so I have to get to the gun,
14:49get the protection directed.
14:51White 80.
14:52White side.
14:53End up completing that one.
14:55Burrow looks, checks it down right side.
14:56That's caught on the sideline.
15:00Joey B.
15:01What's Zach doing?
15:02Is Zach, is he panicking
15:03because he's lost control here?
15:05They just started sitting back
15:06and see what he's going to do.
15:08See what happens.
15:09Joe's got him.
15:10We go hurry up.
15:11I go a bunch into the boundary again.
15:14We call it Mayweather.
15:15It's a little play action.
15:16We're getting a nickel pressure,
15:17so I have to get out of the play action protection,
15:20get to the gun,
15:21get the protection directed.
15:22Now Burrow moves into the shotgun.
15:24Play clock at 10.
15:26Joe is ready for the snap.
15:27Catches from Hopkins.
15:28Drops back to throw.
15:29Has time.
15:30His pass.
15:31Caught over the middle at the 29.
15:33Higgins down to the 21.
15:34End up completing that one.
15:36And then we were able to call timeout
15:37and get a new helmet in.
15:39The snap, the put down, the kick.
15:41It has the distance.
15:43Yes.
15:44It is good.
15:45Yes.
15:46Wow.
15:47Come on, come on.
15:47The Bengals have taken a 9-6 lead.
15:52Did you like calling your own plays?
15:53I did.
15:53I don't think I'd want to do it all the time.
15:55I'll leave that to Zach.
15:56He thought that I was faking it,
15:58faking the headset going out.
16:00He thought you were saying,
16:02I can't hear anything.
16:03I'm calling my own plays.
16:04I got it.
16:05Last year, divisional game against the Titans,
16:08two-minute.
16:09I was there.
16:09Oh, yeah, that was you.
16:10Helmet cuts out.
16:11I had to call the whole drive.
16:13Is that right?
16:14Yeah.
16:14I actually did not know that.
16:15Yeah.
16:17Which, I love that.
16:18Yeah, there you go.
16:20Go back to it like old school.
16:21Yep.
16:22He still, to this day,
16:23thinks I was faking it.
16:24Is that right?
16:24But I wasn't, I promise.
16:26He said, don't get used to it, right?
16:27Yeah.
16:28My first preseason game,
16:29helmet communication was brand new to me.
16:31And they told me, hey,
16:32if it goes out,
16:33have a pass play ready.
16:36Third play,
16:37the helmet goes out.
16:39Third and five now for the Colts.
16:42This is Peyton Manning,
16:43runs the offense.
16:44I call it a little three-step slant
16:45to Marvin Harrison.
16:48About a four-yard pass,
16:49he runs it 48 yards for a touchdown.
16:50Here's a quick pass
16:52and a touchdown run by Marvin Harrison.
16:54A quick sideline throw
16:56to Marvin Harrison from Peyton Manning.
16:58The NFL is easy.
16:59All you do is going to slam
17:00to Marvin Harrison and it's easy.
17:02Omaha.
17:03Wimbley, Rose.
17:05Right on.
17:06Joe certainly has a knack
17:08for making cornerbacking look easy.
17:11Joe Burrow floats a perfect ball.
17:14Pressure from Crosby.
17:15Burrow gets away,
17:16throws to the end zone
17:17and a diving catch
17:19for Mike Kosicki.
17:21I know you're working hard out there,
17:23but it doesn't seem like you sweat.
17:24A lot of people compare you
17:25to Broadway Joe, Joe Namath.
17:27It seems like you're always
17:28just calm and cool
17:29in every situation.
17:30I'll take it.
17:31Whenever you can get compared
17:32to great quarterbacks
17:33that have played in the league,
17:34that's a huge compliment.
17:37You know, he was a fashion icon,
17:39quarterback icon, football icon.
17:42So it's always an honor
17:43to be compared to guys like that.
17:45Joe, thanks for being a part of this.
17:47Appreciate it.
17:48Love talking about quarterbacks
17:49calling their own plays.
17:50I want to kind of channel
17:51Paul Brown back in the old days
17:53with the helmet radio.
17:54Do you mind if I borrow
17:55your coach and your tight end
17:57to kind of simulate
17:58what it was like
17:59wearing that old school
17:59helmet radio?
18:00Yeah, bring him out here.
18:03Hayden?
18:05Coach Taylor?
18:06What are you doing here?
18:07Joe Burrow said I could borrow you.
18:09I'm trying to get inside
18:10one of Paul Brown's helmets.
18:12Man, you don't travel light.
18:14What are you trying to do,
18:15get WKRP back on the air?
18:16I like that reference.
18:18I've been thinking about
18:19what it was like
18:19when quarterbacks
18:20called their own plays.
18:22Oh, like Broadway Joe
18:23and Johnny U?
18:24Exactly.
18:25Paul Brown changed all that.
18:27If you want a real lesson
18:28than that, then...
18:29It was Paul Brown
18:30who first took play calling
18:32away from the quarterback.
18:33Coach Paul Brown
18:34uses his signal calling
18:36shuttle system
18:36as he sends guard Chuck Knoll
18:38into the game
18:39with the play.
18:40Brown was so successful
18:41calling the plays in Cleveland,
18:43the Browns went to
18:4410 championship games
18:46in 11 years.
18:47Paul Brown,
18:48head coach of the Cleveland team
18:49since 1946,
18:51have been in the title game
18:52in all seasons.
18:53Paul Brown
18:54will no longer serve
18:56in the capacities
18:57of head coach
18:58and general manager.
18:59When Art Modell fired him,
19:01Brown created the Bengals.
19:03All right, counter five.
19:05Mentored a quarterback
19:06named Sam Weish
19:07and chose uniforms
19:09that were nearly identical
19:10to the Browns.
19:11All right, Coach,
19:13I want to show you something.
19:14What really made Paul Brown's dream
19:16of calling the place possible
19:17was this,
19:18some cutting-edge technology.
19:19Is this from World War II?
19:21It's a space race, actually.
19:23Paul Brown wondered
19:24if Cold War technology
19:25could be used
19:26for something important,
19:27like beating the giants.
19:29So he gets a NASA engineer
19:31at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Lab
19:33in Cleveland
19:34to design this,
19:35the original helmet radio.
19:37What year is this from?
19:391956.
19:40Didn't we start using
19:41these radio helmets
19:42in the early 1990s?
19:43Exactly.
19:44Coach Taylor is right.
19:4950, 50.
19:50The NFL legalized
19:51the helmet radio
19:52in 1994.
19:54Red right, 50,
19:55halfback read on set.
19:56Ready?
19:57There's Coslett
19:58holding the plays.
19:59The new innovation
20:00this season.
20:01They're radioed in
20:02to the quarterbacks
20:03with special radio receivers
20:04in the quarterback helmets.
20:06Almost 40 years
20:07after Paul Brown invented it.
20:13To communicate
20:15with quarterback
20:15George Ratterman,
20:17Brown purchased
20:18a broadcast license
20:19from the FCC
20:20and erected his own radio station
20:23on the Brown's bench.
20:25Coach, what do you think?
20:26Opponents came in here.
20:28They saw this antenna
20:29on Paul Brown's sideline.
20:32Hard to be discreet about that.
20:33I'm sure that there
20:34were some suspicious coaches
20:35and players
20:35on the opposite sideline.
20:36No doubt about it.
20:37Let's get this thing rolling.
20:39This looked like a mechanism.
20:41He felt like an idiot
20:42with the thing
20:42because it was an antenna
20:43and you would have to turn
20:44like that.
20:45So I'd have to stand
20:45outside the huddle
20:46going like this, you know,
20:47until he came in
20:48loud and clear.
20:50Brown's big idea
20:51was ahead of its time.
20:53His plays were often
20:54cut off by taxi dispatches
20:56and the police band.
20:59Anyone with a transistor radio
21:00could listen in.
21:02I think the Giants
21:03stole the signals
21:04in the last game, actually.
21:05Quarterback and chief
21:06radio operator
21:07George Ratterman
21:07tries to get a Cleveland
21:08pass on the beam,
21:10but New York
21:10is guarding all frequencies.
21:12How do you think
21:13the NFL reacted
21:14to Paul Brown's
21:16creation here?
21:17Not very well.
21:17I would imagine
21:18they accused him
21:19of cheating
21:19and tried to find a way
21:20to put an end to it.
21:21You're right.
21:22Burt Bell actually
21:23banned it.
21:24He's like,
21:25you can't have
21:25the only one team
21:27doing it.
21:27And like you said,
21:28it didn't become
21:29relevant again
21:29until the 90s.
21:30Yeah.
21:31You think this thing
21:32still works?
21:34Of course it does.
21:35It's Paul Brown.
21:36Everything he invented
21:37still works.
21:38Want to give it a shot?
21:39Absolutely.
21:40But remember the words
21:41of one Sam Weish,
21:43you don't live in Cleveland,
21:44you live in Cincinnati.
21:51An alphabet of stickers
21:52turned my Brown's helmet
21:54into a Bengals one.
21:55And Joe was kind enough
21:59to lend me his hungriest
22:00receiver,
22:01tight end Mike Gesicki.
22:04Mike, thanks for helping
22:06out a quarterback.
22:07Not a problem, Peyton.
22:08You just got to buy me
22:08and Coach lunch
22:09after this, man.
22:09I'm starving.
22:10No problem.
22:11This is an ESPN show.
22:12I'll take you to the best
22:12fast, casual eatery
22:14in town.
22:16Is Coach going to land
22:17an airplane with that thing?
22:18We're going to try
22:18to do something better,
22:19actually, Mike.
22:19You and I are going to
22:20try to run some routes
22:21using Paul Brown's
22:22old radio helmet.
22:24Whose jersey is that?
22:25Are you kidding me?
22:26The greatest backup
22:27quarterback the Bengals
22:28have ever had.
22:29Veteran Sam Weish,
22:30a proven backup quarterback,
22:32but certainly no superstar.
22:34You better do
22:35Sam Weish justice, Peyton.
22:37I will.
22:38Let's go.
22:38All right, huddle up,
22:41huddle up.
22:42Let's go right hash,
22:43bolt on the right hash,
22:44Peyton.

23:05For a helmet
23:06that was 70 years old,
23:08there we go.
23:08It was working pretty well.
23:10Good call, coach.
23:12You look pretty good
23:13in that helmet, Peyton.
23:14Look at that, look at that.
23:16Hey, we're at 11.
23:16Mike here, let's go

23:34going to eat?
23:35Can I get two
23:36hot and honey pepperonis
23:37and an order
23:37of cheesy breadsticks?
23:39We're getting pizza
23:40orders here.
23:41Well, tell them
23:41to deliver it.
23:42All right.
23:45See that thing, coach?
23:47All right, pizza man,
23:48we're calling
23:48to the Ottawa here.
23:50Mike Gusecki
23:50really wants
23:51that pepperoni.
23:52Gusecki?
23:53Stop pranking me, kid.
23:55Kid, it's Peyton Manning
23:56and I'm not pranking you.
23:58If you're hearing this,
23:59you must be within
23:59500 yards
24:00of Paycourt Stadium.
24:01Just drive right in.
24:03You got it?
24:04Food's on its way.
24:05Let's run another one.
24:06Let's go.

24:27at the 10.
24:28Steps up.
24:28Throws into the end zone.
24:30It is caught.
24:31Touchdown,
24:32Mike Gusecki.
24:33This thing still works.
24:36Finally.
24:40Paul Brown delivers
24:41every time.
24:42Literally.
24:44I hope you worked up
24:45an appetite running
24:46those four routes.
24:51No matter how you slice it,
24:53play calling
24:54has come a long way.
24:5575, flanker shape.
24:57The game's gotten so complex,
24:59it helps having a Zach Taylor
25:01in your ear.
25:02Hey, Joe,
25:03I'm going to go big 13X here.
25:05But when a coach
25:06can't get a dial tone,
25:07a great quarterback
25:11can still make the call.
25:13Thanks a lot, Coach Mike.
25:18Really appreciate y'all
25:19being a part of this.
25:20Y'all are just the latest
25:21chapter in the saga
25:22Paul Brown created
25:2370 years ago.
25:25Let's go helmet radio
25:27on three.
25:28One, two, three.
25:30Helmet radio.
25:31You know the best thing
25:32about this unibar face mask?
25:34What's that?
25:34You can eat
25:35with your helmet on.
25:36The Jets haven't won
25:41a Super Bowl
25:41since the NFL
25:43shut down this nightclub.
25:44You think the two
25:45are connected?
25:46You know,
25:46I always felt like
25:47if you gave it
25:47to the running back
25:48and there was a wide open hole
25:50and he scored.
25:51James Brooks
25:52runs 29 yards
25:54for a touchdown.
25:55I felt like that
25:56was an assistant basketball.
25:58Yes, yes,
25:58you created that hole.
26:02You know,
26:02back when this was
26:03a nightclub,
26:04you had to go to the bathroom
26:04to get the drugs.
26:06Let me show you
26:06the coaching section
26:08from the 1969
26:10media guy.
26:12What coaching section?
26:13There's only
26:14five, six coaches on here.
26:16How many assistant coaches
26:17do you have?
26:18About 25.
26:20Hey, sweet staff.
26:21Yeah,
26:22he used to look pretty good
26:23with a crumb catcher
26:24back in the day.
26:25Joe Burrow,
26:26he mentioned
26:26that you thought
26:27he was faking it
26:28in that Titans game
26:29that the headsets
26:29really weren't down
26:30and he just wanted
26:31a chance to call
26:32his own place.
26:32I wouldn't put it past him.
26:34Don't look.
26:34I think that's
26:35Ricky Williams over there.
26:36Don't go home!
