00:00I thought Dan Quinn had an awesome answer.
00:03It was a good question from George Wallace at WTOP.
00:06Kind of like, hey, coach, you know, you're going to face a team that's 0 and 2
00:10that many thought was a Super Bowl contender and it's Monday Night Football
00:13and it's at their place.
00:14How do you prepare for that?
00:16And Quinn explained, you know, it's going to be loud.
00:20It's going to be raucous.
00:21It's going to be an awesome atmosphere.
00:23But once you get in the game, everybody's fighting for their lives.
00:27And that is just so true.
00:29Now, I think the biggest time things like that really start to matter
00:34is if you make mistakes, because then it feels like they compound
00:38and it feels like you're coughing in a movie theater
00:42and everyone's staring at you. You know what I mean?
00:44And when when you start to get that feeling like like
00:49like you're drowning and everything just starts to pile on,
00:53that's when it can come undone.
00:55And that's when crowd noise and tough atmospheres
00:58really start to make an impact.
01:01What I'm fascinated to see, because let's be real.
01:04Week one in Tampa was an away game and the Tampa crowd was fine,
01:07but there were a ton of skins fans there and it was so damn hot.
01:10Nobody was really making that much noise.
01:14Jaden hasn't been in a pro environment
01:17like he's going to experience Monday night yet.
01:20Now, I think it's really foolish that I think maybe because on the East Coast,
01:25we tend to be more pro football fans, the college football fans.
01:29But if people don't think Jaden Daniels has stared down crowd noise, they're nuts.
01:35What the SEC is like.
01:38I mean, Jaden Daniels played at Alabama last year.
01:43He played at Ole Miss,
01:46played at Mississippi State.
01:47That's like their arch rival.
01:49Like he's played in some really, really loud places.
01:54He's played in some really serious games that I mean,
01:59hell, just playing at home at LSU is nuts.
02:01But they played at Bama at 745 at night that no offense
02:07to Bengals fans or NFL fans, period that Tuscaloosa crowd
02:12for a night game with LSU coming to town.
02:15It's probably louder than any NFL crowd.
02:17So like the actual crowd noise stuff, not that big of a deal.
02:21He's handled it.
02:23He's been unflappable so far.
02:26All of the BS top golf.
02:29He didn't care.
02:30The preseason cool at Tampa home against the Giants.
02:35He's the same kid.
02:36He's just Cali cool.
02:39This is the first real, real test, and the Bengals are pretty darn good.
02:43I'm fascinated to see how it shakes out.
