The Cincinnati Bengals have a pseudo coach in the stand during their games, and he is none other than the father of OROY Ja’Marr Chase. Papa Chase, better known as Jimmy Chase, revealed that he is the eye in the sky for his son and quarterback Joe Burrow. And while a guest on The Paul Finebaum Show, he explained what he tells the duo, while in the game.

“I’m saying, well I’m actually telling Joe that he’s open, OK. As soon as they break the huddle, he’s open. And then I’m trying to tell Ja’Marr make sure he’s seeing what the defensive guy is trying to do to him. Make sure he understands what he needs to do, how he’s being attacked, and all that kind of stuff,” said Chase.

But Finebaum could smell something off and asks could they really hear him; to which Chase replied.

“ I would like to think so.”

It’s highly unlikely that they can hear him over the crowd noise, but it’s great to know he’s there to support them throughout the season. And in the Bengals’ next game they are going to need all the support they can get as their next game is the big one. Cincinnati takes on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI at the home of the Rams, So-Fi Stadium. Winner gets bragging rights over the entire league for the year.

Burrow’s dad speaks on his son before SB XLI

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is preparing for another big game in his young career. And with the Super Bowl right around the corner, the interviews for the young star are constant. But on Tuesday, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum found another source he’s used in the past to get some insight on Burrow; his father Jimmy.

While on the Paul Finebaum Show, the father of the former LSU standout revealed some interesting information on how his son preps for big games.

“Well, you’re right it is the same. He has a routine, that he goes through. Obviously, this is a little different, but on Monday and the day off was playing video games with his high school friends and teammates; which that’s his relaxation. He avoids too many phone calls with mom and dad.”

This season Burrow completed 70.4 percent of his passes in the regular season, putting up 4,611 passing yards, throwing 34 touchdowns and just 14 interceptions. Moreover, he heated up when the stakes were at their highest: in the final two weeks of the regular season, in wins over the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, Burrow completed a cumulative 67-of-85 passes for 971 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns and no interceptions.

“He’s confident and he always says when he’s prepared he feels confident and end comfortable. And he works hard at getting prepared and the coaches do a great job. So, in his mind, the preparation continues to build his calmness and his confidence. His personality is kind of the same on the field and off the field. Occasionally on the field, you know, those emotions run really high, but even killed calm and he’s pretty much pretty much the same.”
