00:00 In the Bengals locker room with Andre Josivash.
00:03 Andre, first TD, we talked about it the other day,
00:06 you were able to get it and hit a delayed celebration.
00:09 Delayed a little bit.
00:10 I mean, I was waiting for the signal, waiting to see what was going on,
00:13 but at the end of the day, I saw a tee going for me,
00:16 we had the celebration, a little dance plan,
00:18 and I completely forgot about the ball too, and then Joe brought it for me,
00:21 so everything worked out.
00:23 Break the play down for me, because Burrow had to go off script,
00:26 he's rolling out, and you rolled with him.
00:29 Yeah, I mean, I was supposed to get the ball kind of in the back of the end zone a bit.
00:32 The route took longer to develop than we would have liked,
00:35 so it just turned into scramble drill from there.
00:38 You just got to trust Joe, just find an open spot, and he'll maybe get it to you.
00:42 So that's what I did.
00:43 So you make the catch, and there's a flag down.
00:46 There's no celebration initially.
00:47 What are you thinking in that moment, that awkward phase?
00:50 Just waiting for someone to make a call, and if it was a touchdown,
00:53 I'd do what I did, and then if it wasn't, I would have just ran back to the sideline.
00:56 And then Joe brings you the ball.
00:58 You didn't even think about it?
00:59 No.
01:00 Well, because I threw it, because I thought the flag was on us.
01:02 And so I was like, okay, I'm just going to throw it away.
01:04 But it was nice.
01:05 I think he was kind of keyed on the ball, because he just brought it up to me right after,
01:08 and I thanked him a couple times too, because it was super thoughtful of him.
01:11 There's a video of him going up to the official, asking where the ball is,
01:15 and he ran and got it.
01:16 That's really nice of him.
01:17 Yeah, I'm going to have to repay him someday for that, for sure.
01:21 What rank among birthday gifts for you?
01:23 Top three.
01:26 Top three, I would say.
01:27 I mean, I almost couldn't hold in my emotions, but, yeah, it was a good time.
01:31 What's the first two?
01:32 The first two must be pretty good.
01:33 First who?
01:34 The two, the first two.
01:35 Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:36 Yeah, the first two were good.
01:37 What about the play?
01:39 Sorry, I missed it, but it looked like it was just Burrow was kind of creating.
01:43 Yeah, definitely.
01:44 I mean, you know, now that he has his legs back, he can extend plays,
01:47 and that's what, in the red zone, you're so confined that sometimes you need that kind of stuff
01:51 to score touchdowns, so it worked out.
01:53 Did you break it off?
01:54 Did you break off your route?
01:55 Yeah, I was supposed to get the ball kind of like earlier, but, yeah, broke it off eventually,
02:00 scrambled, found the end zone.
02:02 Which DB, what do you want?
02:04 Which number do you remember?
02:06 I think Jamal Adams, 33.
02:09 Yeah.
02:10 Did you just run away from him?
02:11 Yeah, I was supposed to block him, block him, shed him, get the ball, yeah,
02:15 and then use the scramble drill, so nobody knows who's on who.
02:18 Just got to find an open spot, yeah.
02:19 What dance did you do?
02:21 There's like some dance off TikTok, me and T kind of decided that I would do.
02:26 It was just a fun little thing, yeah.
02:28 Just what did Burroughs say?
02:32 What are you going to do with the ball?
02:34 Bring it back home.
02:35 I don't know what I'm going to do with it, to be honest.
02:37 Maybe I'll label it, something like that.
02:38 I see it over there.
02:39 Yeah, well, I got a game ball and then the actual ball--
02:41 Where's the bracelet?
02:42 Yes, sir.
02:43 Ah!
02:44 Birthday presents, bro.
02:46 But, yeah, I got the game ball and then I got the actual ball that I caught, so I'm going to figure it out.
02:50 And Burroughs literally gave it to you.
02:53 Yeah.
02:54 I guess I'll always remember that way.
02:55 Always, yeah, that was a great gesture, super nice.
02:57 What did he say to you when he gave it to you?
02:59 He just gave it to me, he was like, "Here you go, bro."
03:01 I'm like, "Oh, my God, I totally forgot about it."
03:03 Yeah, it was awesome.
03:04 What's it like going up against Camp?
03:06 You said it, birthday guys, he was dominant on defense,
03:09 you obviously made plays on offense.
03:10 Yeah, he got me a lot better during camp, to be honest.
03:12 He was that one DB that I wanted to go against a lot just to get better
03:17 because I knew he was a vet, he's physical.
03:19 I mean, he's a dog, so having someone like that on your team to get you better before the season
03:23 and on your team when they're playing other receivers, I mean, it's perfect.
03:27 Andre, appreciate the time.
03:28 Enjoy the bye week.
03:29 Yeah, appreciate it.
03:30 Thanks.
