00:00Joe makes the comment, and I read it.
00:03I was in the room, but I read it, and I was like, he didn't say that.
00:07And I was in the room when he said it, but he's like,
00:09we're going to go out there and win a Super Bowl this year.
00:10And he just said it so nonchalant.
00:12I was like, no, he said go out and try to win a Super Bowl.
00:14And then I went back and, no, he said go out and win a Super Bowl.
00:17When you see that from QB1 in May, and it was May at the time,
00:23what goes through your mind?
00:24What tone does that set for the rest of the team and organization?
00:28I think that's a great goal.
00:29And it's always our goal.
00:30But there's a lot of football to be played until then.
00:33So I don't concern myself with February 27 right now.
00:37We got Dexter again tomorrow.
00:40And there's a lot of work to be done.
00:42I think we're on the right track.
00:44I'm not a prediction guy.
00:46I'm an internal goals guy.
00:48I'll throw out Super Bowl when it's appropriate.
00:54But as of June 2 right now, I am going to just continue to do my job to the best
01:01of my ability.
01:02What internal goals?
01:04Well, always it's win the division.
01:05And so we kind of got – we started 2-0 last year.
01:08And then, obviously, all that happened with Joe.
01:11And so that was kind of a – we got that monkey off our back.
01:14But then, you know, had a whole new set of issues.
01:17So, you know, for the last couple of years, it's just let's start strong.
01:20So, I mean, to me, it starts with winning the division.
01:23You got to win your division.
01:25That's always the first goal.
01:26And then as we get going, you know, Super Bowl is always the goal.
01:32Overarching.
01:32I just – as – you know, we don't talk about that much internally.
01:36It did fire everyone up that Joe said that, and I love that.
01:39But we have a lot of things to work on before we're going to be touting Super Bowl
01:43after we miss the dance three years in a row.
01:45Do you think that's by design for him?
01:47Oh, yeah.
01:48Like he knew – he was like, oh, I'm going to do –
01:49Oh, he does a great job with all of these.
01:51He's a very calculated man.
01:52No, that's what I figured.
01:54No, and we are all going for a Super Bowl.
01:56But there's a lot of work to be done to make that happen.
01:59It's not just we're talented on paper.
02:02And that's why we've had – these last two OTAs have been –
02:06you know, some of the best I've been a part of as a Cincinnati Bengal.
